***AS PREDICTED ***

FROM PRECEDING WEEKS: ST. HELENS IS NOW OBVIOUSLY IN A STATE OF CONTINUOUS BUT SLOW ERUPTION AND THIS CONDITION MAY BUILD UP INTO A MORE VIGOROUS ERUPTION AT ANY TIME. 

 

NOW EXPECT THAT ST. HELENS ERUPTION WILL ACCELERATE (WITH UPS AND DOWNS) DURING THE NEXT FEW LUNAR CYCLES, THEN DROP OFF UNTIL LATE IN THE YEAR.

 

Continue To Maintain Extreme Vigilance!!!

 

CONTINUE EXCEPTIONAL VIGILENCE IN ACTIVE SEISMIC ZONES THROUGH TO THE END OF MARCH 2005:  Nearly all psychic and avocational quake predictors believe that additional major tectonic activity is about to occur during the next few weeks.  The danger period probably extends through to the end of March 2005.

 

A SCHEDULE IS NOW POSTED IN ITALIAN FOR THE MANDEVILLE – EDIZIONI BOOK TOUR IN ITALY DURING APRIL. CHECK IN THE SECTION BELOW

 

FULL DAY SEMINAR JUNE 19, 2005 AT SNOWFLAKE in Arizona

Major Earth Change & Economic Predictions
For 2005-2012 -
Are you ready for the coming economic depression and the blowback from the Middle East?  This is a practice seminar for Mandeville's trip to Italy. There is no formal charge (freewill donation basis only). CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS

 

LENGTHY NEW MATERIAL
UPDATE PREDICTIONS FOR 2005 – 2012
"The Imperial Blowback & The Changes In The Earth"

I am still working diligently on this material which succinctly outlines predictions for the period 2005 – 2012.  This will serve as the basis of two one day seminars during April, one in Rome, another in Milan, Italy.  

LATER, COMING IN MAY:  Beyond this I am also working on the period of what the Q’ero call the Pachacuti and the Hopi call the "Great Purification" (also known as the "Time of Troubles" or "The Tribulations").  I have just consumed four books and many iway articles and websites the past few weeks to prepare for this.  For a variety of reasons, the final keys for putting together the final plot line of the Fourth Age and the most probable key signals are now being brought forward into my consciousness in a way which will allow me to describe them clearly and specifically to the world.  Due to many issues, the greater bulk of this material shall not be openly available directly on the internet.  Access to most of the predictions will be made available through paid annual subscriptions.  Because of the strategic seriousness of some of the predictions, some I will only make available through mouth and ear in private seminars.   I will begin to advise of this material through the EC Bulletins and through Alex Merklinger’s radio program

 

FOR THIS YEAR OF THE GATHERING EMERGENCE:

 

On the geophysical front,  at the current time activity at the solar level of our vast Vortex is increasing but this trend is at near peak and should reverse in a few days. The Sunspot Count rose to 77 and may rise yet a little higher.  The Solar Flux rose to 100 and may also continue a little higher for the March 14 alignment of Mercury | Saturn.  Beyond the sunspots, the Sun has given out very little increased activity during the last week and no major disturbances are expected by any source for at least the next few days.  The Jet Stream circulation has become much less kinked  but this is not likely to remain for long.  By the end of March, Sunspots, the Jet Stream, and Earth's weather will turn up their amplitudes and produce chaos.  In the meanwhile, the residual chaos and changes in the atmosphere and climate patterns are enough to drive weather forecasters batty.  Seismic activity was muted once again in magnitude and frequency for the most part, with the exception of large numbers of microquakes off the Western coast of North America, most likely related to underwater volcanism. Seven shape-shifters struck in the Great Rifts of the ocean bottoms, five of these in the High Arctic, still signifying that the adjustments for the Indo-Trench rupture are not yet complete.  World volcanism declined in breadth about another 5% this past seven days, the second time in two weeks, but at least 23 active but slow eruptions are underway emitting ash and/or lava and a major new eruption commenced on Kamchatka Peninsula on March 6.  Some of the world volcanism this week appears to be accelerating vigorously underwater, including in the High Arctic.  Accordingly, expect "Global Warming" more than ever this year and expect the vigor of current eruptions to increase off and on during the next few months.  But El Nino looks increasingly unlikely for this year but we won't know for sure until May.  The movement of the Earth's crust relative to the North Spin Axis – Chandler's Wobble – HAS NORMALIZED.  Even so, continue to watch the tea leaves of sudden tectonic rupture on the North American West Coast, everyone is still nervous about it. Maintain exceptional vigilance on the Western coasts of the Americas. And watch the volcanoes – a major increase in world volcanism IS LIKELY TO increase and this activity will continue to rise worldwide during the next six months.  Many surprises may be in store for this year.

 

On the geopolitical front, the IMPERIAL FACTION IS ON A ROLL IN THE MIDEAST, but that is mostly the illusion of a sycophant press and a complicit U.S. political class.  Kookiness has seized complete control of Washington DC, but this only puts the coming tragi-farce into starker, more obvious relief.  All conditions as projected by this writer and most of the populist press are accelerating at a brisk pace.  Bush's policies are nearly universally rejected around the world, brutal operations procedures and war doctrines, not to mention incompetence and pervasive denial and lying, are steadily destroying the fragments of what was left of the legitimacy of the American Military Machine, Eurasian and Oil Producer alliances are forming up tightly to begin a world campaign to restrain and block the Imperial Faction, Venezuela and Iran are making arrangements, Syria is craftily setting up Israel and the U.S. to collide with Hezbollah, which is the most dominant force in Lebanon, international inflation of commodity prices IN DOLLAR terms is accelerating briskly and will bring in the next recession-becoming-depression sometime in 2006, the strong U.S. domestic pressure and ultra easy credit to increase the size of the East Coast Boomer Bubble is near peak and will probably crack 11,000 DJIA for a few weeks to a few months and then skate and skid to the Big Dump in 2006,  the Democratic Faux Centrists and Clintonistas are folding solidly into an acutely sad, uncomfortable sack of metooism with the Imperial Faction, revealing clearly who they are, meanwhile of course the most extreme cold war hawks and right wing fascists in North America have seized control of all agencies of the U.S. Government, the Mass Hysteria Broadcast Media is busy already coronating Hillary Clinton (a careerist opportunist who has exhibited exactly ZERO leadership ability on the Great Moral and Strategic Issues of the Era) as the next Democratic Face of the Republicrats (to soften people up for more NEPOTISM in the coming era of aristocratic control of North America?), all domestic programs and regulations are being bludgeoned and blackjacked daily in the alleys of Washington DC by the plutocrats and their agents, and a super-sized IMPERIAL BONUS in being prepared for the American People:  PLANS ARE WELL UNDERWAY to mobilize the drive to destroy the independent culture and government of Iran, all the better to seize complete hegemony of the Persian Gulf oil fields and force the world to consume the PETRO-DOLLAR and the American Imperial Machine.  You whiners have never had it so good!  You will soon be floating in a sea of oil you can no longer afford to buy because a couple million conscripted Central Americans will be busy fighting in the  Middle East under your flag to eradicate all opposition to the Great American Dream of Bush Inc.

Program Thesis:

What are we trying to do with the Earth Changes Bulletin?

Most news media do not handle technical and scientific subjects like geology and earth sciences very well.  They don't understand the causes and effects of activities in the Sun and Earth.  Accordingly, they often do not understand if, when, how, why to report earthquakes, volcanic activity, global warming effects  The treatment often sounds absent-minded, poorly qualified, and frequently contains various technical errors.  Seldom is the treatment entertaining and genuinely educational.

Based on new scientific principles which have emerged during the past thirty years, many of the dynamic activities of the Sun and Earth can be linked together to see how a range of effects are linked together.  This makes it possible to paint "the big picture" into a perspective which explains many diverse events and processes, especially climate and weather patterns such as global warming and El Nino. From the "big picture", long range predictions can be made for weeks and even months ahead.  The result is sophisticated cutting-edge information which is objective, balanced, astute, relevant, and can be easily seen and appreciated by lay audiences.  The perspective is generally global, seldom parochial. For the framework of concepts, terms, and current conditions which are used or described in the these Bulletins, see the Earth Changes 2003 Almanac Calendar.

The Bulletin is written in Arizona (UTC +8 hours) so any relative references, such as "Today", or "Tomorrow", or "Yesterday" should generally to taken to refer to the day spans as experienced in Western North America.

ONE DAY SEMINAR IN SNOWFLAKE MARCH 19, 2005

 

Major Earth Change & Economic Predictions For 2005-2012

Are you ready for the coming economic depression and the blowback from the Middle East?

ARIZONA SCIENTIST WILL OFFER A "PRACTICE" SEMINAR WITH SPECTACULAR PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS

At: Cedar Hills Health Center

8215 Concho Dr., Snowflake, Az 85937

Contact: Annette Hardman, 928-536-6970

inlighthardman@frontiernet.net

Saturday March 19, 2005

9:00 am To 6:00 pm

From Snowflake, East on Hwy 277 (Concho Hwy.) approximately 5 miles. Big Clinic to the left. (Wood Cabin)

 

ARIZONA (February 10, 2005) – Forget the dollar and the American economy, a systems scientist from Arizona advises, and look at the growing Eurasian Alliance which will replace it with the euro. This and many other long range predictions will be made by Michael Mandeville, a systems scientist from Arizona in a day long seminar .


Mandeville will be practicing his seminar in preparation for a book tour and seminar program which he will be giving in Italy/Switzerland during April.  Mandeville will present and discuss his book "The Coming Economic Collapse of 2006" . He will answer as many questions as he can about the book which was written originally in English during 2003.  He will present additional predictions that he has been working on this year.


Mandeville will outline many key long-term cycles and trends and how they will interconnect to weave the main environmental, economic, and political conditions as well as the most likely international events through to the year 2012.  Mandeville will begin the seminars by painting a whole systems perspective on what is happening in the trends of the apparent earth changes.  Mandeville will complete his "mural of the future" with the geopolitical and spiritual trends underway.

For several years Mandeville has been offering predictions and prognostications about
geophysical and world political trends in the "Earth Changes Bulletin", which he publishes exclusively on the Internet.


Other spectacular predictions will include, the emotional and political climate of the next seven years, the next return of the drought years, the next eruption of Vesuvius (within three years), the next reoccurrence of El Nino and La Nina (weather syndromes in the Pacific Ocean), the future of the euro, the future of globalism (failing rapidly), and the collapse of the Last Empire.

"It is important", Mandeville claims, "for Americans and Europeans to understand the extent to which a narrow power-hungry cabal has seized political power in America and has perverted America's liberal democracy during the last 30 years into a thinly-veiled version of the Third Reich circa 1936. How will this effect us here  in the US and in Europe in the coming years?  People must stop looking to U.S. political cliques as a source of leadership or of viable ideas to come up with a better future."
 

Mandeville will offer the seminar on a freewill donation basis and autograph his books for any buyers.

Books available for Sale at Seminar:

The Trilogy – Return of the Phoenix 1, 2, 3,

The Coming Economic Collapse

 

Lunch -  by reservation available from Amelia’s Garden, Call Annette to reserve: 928-536-6970 Or Bring a sack lunch and beverage.  Coffee and Tea’s will be available at the Clinic.

COMING LATE LATE SPRING IN WEEKLY INSTALLMENTS:

 

UPDATE PREDICTIONS FOR 2005 – 2012 and through "The Tribulations"

 

  go to the Earth Changes Almanac

 

A systematic synopsis is being assembled which succinctly outlines predictions for the period 2005 – 2012 and through the period of what the Q’ero call the Pachacuti and the Hopi call the "Great Purification" (also known as the "Time of Troubles" or "The Tribulations".  This outline will update the predictions in "The Coming Economic Collapse of 2006" and the "Return of the Phoenix", mainly by confirming the general plot line and by adding more details which carry the predictions well beyond 2006-2008.

 

I have just consumed four books and many iway articles and websites the past few weeks to prepare for this.  For a variety of reasons, the final keys for putting together the final plot line of the Fourth Age and the most probable key signals are now being brought forward into my consciousness in a way which will allow me to describe them clearly and specifically to the world.  Due to many issues, the greater bulk of this material shall not be openly available directly on the internet.  Access to most of the predictions will be made available through paid annual subscriptions.  Because of the strategic seriousness of some of the predictions, some I will only make available through mouth and ear in private seminars.   I will begin to advise of this material through the EC Bulletins and through Alex Merklinger’s radio program

 

PRELIMINARY FINDING: (based on the integration of several credible psychic sources)

 

We have perhaps as little as 1.5 years but possibly up to 5 years before the first wave of "The Upheavals" – the long predicted rupturing of the crust along the West Coast of North America.  This will terminate the American Empire and consummate the final stages of a continental civic struggle, a virtual civil war (but one without armies), which will have begun as a consequence of the economic collapse during 2006-07.  Several waves of catastrophic ruptures in various locations of the crust will follow over some 20-25 years.   These ruptures will create opportunities for wars in Eurasia which are not restrained by the Western powers and serious efforts will be made by regional coalitions to "conquer" the greater part of Eurasia.  These waves of Upheavals and raving human irrationality will progressively degrade and finally destroy existing human cultures and nations.  The final flight of the Phoenix to a new polar axis orientation for the Fifth Age Of Human Memory will occur some 10-20 years after the first Upheaval in Western North America.  Thereafter, for up to 3000 years, tectonic activity, especially in the form of volcanism, will remain at heightened levels, creating many peak CENTURIES of volcanic activity which are 100-1000 times higher than current levels.

 

COMING IN APRIL…

 

Mandeville will be conducting a book tour in Italy from April 5-16 for Macro Edizioni, a major Italian publisher who has translated the Coming Economic Collapse of 2006 into Italian. Mandeville will be in several cities.  In addition, he will conduct a full day seminar in Rome and Milan on the coming Changes In The Earth.

 

ITINERY FOR ITALIAN BOOK TOUR

Michael Wells Mandeville -  autore del libro Come affrontare il Crollo economico del 2006/7 Macro Edizioni 2004 – In Italia ad Aprile

 

Presentazione del libro e approfondimento della tematica a:

Il collasso politico ed economico – 2005/2010 - in Usa. Le sue ricadute in Europa e Italia. (Incluso l'effetto di ritorno della tragedia in Iraq e la disintegrazione dell'Impero Americano)
Come affrontare individualmente i cambiamenti a livello economico e politico
In questi tempi molto instabili, imprevedibili, segnati da grandi conflitti politici, il "vecchio" senso di equilibrio sembra perduto e molte sono le condizioni che sembrano deteriorarsi a livello del benessere economico, ambientale e politico. In questi incontri, organizzati da Macro Edizioni, a seguito della sua pubblicazione "Come affrontare il crollo economico del 2006-2007", l’autore analizzerà  le possibili dinamiche di ciò che è più probabile che accada, ai fini di dedurne  una strategia pratica per il futuro.

THIS BOOK STILL COOKS AND IT WILL COOK THE POLITICIANS AND THE ECONOMY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO 2008:  This synthesis is far ahead of the daily digests in all halls of the internet media: so far (since May 2003) the track record on this set of predictions for 2003-2008 is running 100 per cent.  If you have not purchased this book, you will remain ignorant of the main dynamics which are rapidly changing everything.

 

LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF March 9, 2005: The IMPERIAL FACTION IS ON A ROLL IN THE MIDEAST, but that is mostly the illusion of a sycophant press and a complicit U.S. political class. Kookiness has seized complete control of Washington DC, but this only puts the coming tragi-farce into starker, more obvious relief.  All conditions as projected by this writer and most of the populist press are accelerating at a brisk pace.  Bush's policies are nearly universally rejected around the world, brutal operations procedures and war doctrines, not to mention incompetence and pervasive denial and lying, are steadily destroying the fragments of what was left of the legitimacy of the American Military Machine, Eurasian and Oil Producer alliances are forming up tightly to begin a world campaign to restrain and block the Imperial Faction, Venezuela and Iran are making arrangements, Syria is craftily setting up Israel and the U.S. to collide with Hezbollah, which is the most dominant force in Lebanon, international inflation of commodity prices IN DOLLAR terms is accelerating briskly and will bring in the next recession-becoming-depression sometime in 2006, the strong U.S. domestic pressure and ultra easy credit to increase the size of the East Coast Boomer Bubble is near peak and will probably crack 11,000 DJIA for a few weeks to a few months and then skate and skid to the Big Dump in 2006,  the Democratic Faux Centrists and Clintonistas are folding solidly into an acutely sad, uncomfortable sack of metooism with the Imperial Faction, revealing clearly who they are, meanwhile of course the most extreme cold war hawks and right wing fascists in North America have seized control of all agencies of the U.S. Government, the Mass Hysteria Broadcast Media is busy already coronating Hillary Clinton (a careerist opportunist who has exhibited exactly ZERO leadership ability on the Great Moral and Strategic Issues of the Era) as the next Democratic Face of the Republicrats (to soften people up for more NEPOTISM in the coming era of aristocratic control of North America?), all domestic programs and regulations are being bludgeoned and blackjacked daily in the alleys of Washington DC by the plutocrats and their agents, and a super-sized IMPERIAL BONUS in being prepared for the American People:  PLANS ARE WELL UNDERWAY to mobilize the drive to destroy the independent culture and government of Iran, all the better to seize complete hegemony of the Persian Gulf oil fields and force the world to consume the PETRO-DOLLAR and the American Imperial Machine.  You whiners have never had it so good!  You will soon be floating in a sea of oil you can no longer afford to buy because a couple million conscripted Central Americans will be busy fighting in the  Middle East under your flag to eradicate all opposition to the Great American Dream of Bush Inc.

 

 

LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF FEBRUARY 23, 2005: Ditto all conditions.  ONLY MORE SO.

 

LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF JANUARY 6, 2005:   On track, as discussed in previous Bulletins.  A new quick summary is provided below in the Economy section.

 

LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF DECEMBER 22, 2004:  No surprises, everything on track as predicted…conditions remain about the same through to the first week of January – things will then begin to break suddenly…into a fast and furiously changing year.  The tide will clearly turn during 2005 on many fronts, collectively marking the end of the American Age and a progressive waning of American stature and prosperity..

 

LATEST UPDATE NOTE AS OF NOVEMBER 17, 2004:

As per stated below, the bubble is re-inflating for a few more weeks or even months if Al Qaeda does not attack.  Oil prices are dropping as stocks and equities firm up and the economy continues expansion with the expectation that American Imperialism will continue (unfortunately) to drive international events during 2005. BEWARE SUDDEN REVERSALS WHEN ALQAEDA STRIKES.  BEWARE THE EMERGING SUPER-COALITION IN EURASIA WHICH WILL PROGRESSIVELY UNDERCUT THE AMERICAN DOLLAR DURING 2005, GENERALLY IN A MEASURED WAY WHICH AVOIDS SUDDEN PANIC.  This is not a hostile action, it is a sensible reaction of the world to the vast over-reach of America’s Imperial Pretenders. This will produce a strong trend of basic price inflation in the U.S. as basic material commodity prices and the cost of imported goods continue to rise. The world WILL solve the Balance of Payments problem, mainly by raising the dollar costs of imports beyond the means of Americans to purchase them.

HOUSEKEEPING

 

WE ARE STILL IN AN AWKWARD STAGE WITH THE BULLETINS.  MUCH PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN COMPLETELY REDEFINING THE BULLETIN, MONITOR, ALMANAC, AND WEBSITE, BUT SO FAR IT IS ALL INVISIBLE.  THE NEW SCHEMA WILL BE INTRODUCED DURING MARCH – MAY.

 

We are halfway into a process which will combine an almanac structure with the weekly updates.  I intend a three tier Bulletin/Almanac Archive:  a weekly newsletter which is shorter than present, an archive of the Weekly Updates in web pages, and a deeper core structure which is like an Almanac, encompassing years, major references, explanations of all the details, and outlines for many years in advance of various predictions and concerns.  To this core we will link the Updates and around the entire business we will add a variety of news feeds and tightly focused discussion forums.  From these news feeds, some items in summary form will appear in the Updates.  It will take a couple of months yet to shape this up to where I will truly want it to be.

 

Today you can finally access an update of the past year's bulletins and the beginning of an annual forecast for 2005.  Click here for the new access point to the current new home page for the Earth Changes Bulletin Almanac & Archive

 

 

MANDEVILLE IS ON THE RADIO EVERY WEDNESDAY WITH

Alex Merklinger (Millennium Radio) show at 7 PM Arizona Time (6 PM Pacific Time).   Regular Weekly Update For The Earth Changes Bulletin.  To find Iway archives and stations, see Millennium Radio Network

Begin Synopsis

 

 As stated in the "Coming Economic Collapse of 2006", the nature of human politics reflects the communication abilities of the human species.  As we transform the media, as we have been on the Iway, we will transform human politics and the entire Earth.  Making the way for the New Earth is operationally equivalent to making a new Media on the Iway. Not that that is all that there is to it.  Not by a long shot…but IT IS one of the essentials we need to dissolve the blockages and dance around the tyrannies.

 

 

SPIRITUAL WATCH

How to converge and express the spirit of mass transformation into manifestation, HOW to be, IS the question. How to do is the praxis of the time.  Examining this question, probing it, is the chief trendline of this year.

BREAKING NEWS:

 

 

FOR WINTER 2005:

 

All forces, BOTH DARK AND LIGHT, seem to be gathering and abiding at the moment….

 

Many things and events are being set in motion but very little is currently visible on the surface as people busy themselves re-arranging the deck chairs of the Titanic.

 

The loony Imperial Faction clearly is on a course for a massive confrontation with the Iceberg of history.  They have consummated almost a complete takeover of the National government, all that remains are two Supreme Court Justice appointments.

 

None of us will escape the titanic struggle for the soul of America and history which will emerge this year and next.

 

There is underway very rapid progress on all internal spiritual and psychic development issues.  THOSE WHO MEDITATE ARE TUNING INTO INCREASING ENERGY LEVELS AND MAJOR TRANSFORMATIONS OF HOW THEIR CHAKRAS BALANCE AND WORK.  Much of this transformation is not very describable as it involves shifts in how our personal "holographic" field is experienced. 

 

DIET IS EXCEPTIONALLY IMPORTANT AS EVER BUT EVEN MORE SO FOR THOSE WHOSE UPPER CHAKRAS ARE OPENING and energize.  As they energize, the body begins to reject more militantly the load of industrial chemistry which now adulterates the greater bulk of American grocery store food items. 

 

What to do about it is very complex and differs for nearly all people.  But here is a shot gun approach which is probably very helpful for a great many  If you are having an increased load of health issues, drop prepackaged food out of your diet AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, fix from scratch with items as pure as possible, eat mega doses of sodium acerbate (Vitamin C) or from natural sources such as rose hips, and MAKE SURE YOU TAKE IN NO COOKING OILS EXCEPT FROM OLIVE OIL.  OLIVE OIL IS A GIFT FROM THE GODS AND HAS ALSO BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO DECREASE CANCER AND/OR SLOW DOWN ITS REPLICATION IN THE BODY. 

 

Interior channels have energized and nearly everyone I talk to relays similar experiences of new channels or access to new awareness of imagery or feelings or knowledge opening up.  A step-function in personal maturity has been experienced, along with increased personal vibrancy.  As it were, a real "personal inauguration" seems at hand.  It is a good time to focus on the emerging Medicine Wheel of the Earth and our energetic interconnection within Indri's Net.  It is an excellent time to enhance the power of inner visualization and connection.  Thanks to Adam for bringing this back into our consciousness.  Try this visualization:.

 

Indri's Net:  (as described in the ancient Sanskrit texts)

 

There is an endless net of threads throughout the universe.

The horizontal threads are in space.

The vertical threads are in time.

At every crossing of threads there is an individual.

And every individual is a crystal bead.

 

The great light of absolute being illuminates and penetrates every crystal being.

 

And every crystal being reflects not only the light from every other crystal in the net,

 

But also every reflection of every reflection throughout the universe.

 

MWM: Try that on for visualizing the All In All we call God.  Talk about opening up channels….

 

Mayan Elders have delivered an urgent message:  the major Earth Changes of the "Pachacuti" or "Purification" period have begun with the rupture of the Indo-Trench.  They expect increasing seismic activity and major quakes of a similar nature to occur through the next several months.

 

FOR 2005: 

 

Some major keywords for 2005 are:

 

"Gathering", most especially in the sense of gathering of forces;

 

"Being", as in the sense of fully participating in the realization and practice of what we dare to hope we are becoming;

 

"Accepting"; negatively as in eating the "Karmic Blowback" (the American People are going to take an immense amount of Karmic Blowback for the Tragedy in Iraq); positively as in receiving supportive affirmation for long-suffering spiritual efforts and intentions

 

"Emerging", realization and experiencing of the becomings long sought, most especially as in bringing forth the new understandings, orientations, needs, and directions of purpose for a profoundly different world than is celebrated in the Mass Media.

 

In the positive dimension, around these keywords, many new phenomenon will emerge, especially in the forms of groups and individuals manifesting new activities.

 

NEXT SEVEN YEARS:

 

In the negative dimension, the coming "Karmic Blowback" is going to be terrible and shake the very roots of everything in North America from now through to 2012.  But a great turning towards peace and a desire for equitable, personal connection to real community is underway in the hearts and minds of a great mass of humanity.  This is the entire hope.

 

STAY FOCUSED ON HELPING THE EMERGENCE OF PEACE, JUSTICE, AND FREEDOM.  DENY ALL MOVEMENT TOWARDS FASCISM.  THE FASCISTS AND BIGOTS AMONG THE NATIONS ARE GOING TO DELIVER INCREASING QUANTITIES OF KARMIC BLOWBACK TO EACH OTHER.  It will be terrible in the coming years, and in 2005 the U.S. will begin to tangibly feel PRECURSERS of the blowback.  Nothing is going to "go right" for the North American Powers That Be this year – and it gets worse and worse as the year goes down.

 

I SUGGEST YOU "DUCK" AND KEEP PUTTING YOURSELF IN A DIFFERENT PLACE ALLTOGETHER – MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY AND POLITICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY, AND IF YOU ARE URBAN DEPENDENT, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU BEGIN TO FORM YOUR STRATEGY FOR PHYSICALLY DUCKING THE EMPIRE’S KARMIC BLOWBACK FOR THE PERIOD 2006-2012, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE EAST COAST BUBBLE.

 

No-Eyes, the blind old first world prophet of the Rockies had it right 20 years ago, conditions are going to get increasing bad because of the karmic blowback and there is no end in sight until "the Phoenix screeches". 

 

BREATH FREE. Let go of everything which is disturbed, distorted, or weird.  Let go of everything which is forced, contrived, hidden, manipulative, and/or constrictive. Keep flowing with the rising tide of spiritual energies which are filling many thirsty souls.  The old patterns are falling away.  Transition continues. Embrace new relationships which are trying to form in your life if they are honest and straightforward and provide a new openness. Forget the fears of the unknown, embrace all that which lifts your life into the light of a greater understanding and relationship with the all.

 

SPIRITS EMERGING:  CONFIRMING WHAT I PREDICTED LAST YEAR:  "In a short while, some will come forth giving witness to a great energy which has come into their lives, literally, as if the hand of God was upon them.  This is becoming more and more apparent and these words will have greater meaning by the end of the year."

 

Here is one.  ADAM, an 18 year old healer in Vancouver, British Columbia, is beginning to be recognized and is causing more and more of a stir.  He is quite possibly a great successor to the Edgar Cayce tradition.  If you combine his group "work" with disciplined personal meditation, you have the keys to the full realization of gathering, being, and emergence this year.  His two short books, which I had the opportunity to read over the year end holidays are well worth reading and he will tell you in his own words how to operationalize what I had written in this section last month:

 

Don’t react, go to center, get clear, release, and grieve…the Fourth Age is dying rapidly now… much more rapidly than we thought, its institutions and identities are beyond saving… let it go, let go, get to center…flow into God, let God flow into you…don’t speculate, don’t analyze, don’t react to the shtuff…clear…clean out the past four years…we are now free to grieve the death of everything we detested…let it go…let it go…let it die.   As you re-center in God, find the realization that this is the final moment you have been waiting for to end your connections and involvements with the illusions and delusions of all that which has betrayed the divine within each and brought greed, war, and destruction over the Earth.

 

The destroyers belong to each other, this is now the final time of their fatal embrace.  Let them love their wars…they have greatly desired the bitter wines of their hatreds and violence, they have lusted greatly for their Armageddon, and they shall have it. 

 

The die has been cast with a thousand artifices and illusions.  With the excellence of its manner of casting,  God has delivered to you your own freedom from the delusions and spells of the Mass Sorcerers, indeed, from the entire age, if you will but realize it.  Clear yourself and your life to find now the sense of movement and direction to separate your life from the dying culture which is putrefying all around you. There is no saving it…as Buckminster Fuller observed many decades ago, the old order is never saved, the new order merely grows up around it to eventually takes its place.  So it will come to pass now in an intense period of vast change during the next twenty years.

 

 

 

The "Great Purification" predicted by the Hopi, Maya, Q’ero, and many others continues.  How amazing that these ancient oral traditions could tune into last year and this one to advise us that this was a period of profound historical turning involving

The Great Purification

of the Earth? For additional discussion, see the commentary of May 19, 2004 and the commentary of June 16, 2004.

 

THE NEW BASIS IS GESTATING….

THE time to link the spiritual communities of the Earth. The Whole Earth. IT HAS BECOME URGENT TO LINK THE SPIRITUAL COMMUNITIES WITHIN A BROAD MOVEMENT WHICH PROVIDES NEW CURRENTS OF SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP.

 

 

FOR THE MOST PART: Steady as she goes. A slow acceleration in the shifting of the poles has been underway for perhaps the past 100 years and the last three decades has shown an increase in the rate of acceleration.  This has appeared to accelerate even more during the past decade.

BREAKING NEWS: 

 

As last week, the spiral track appears to be nearly back to normal.  It now appears that the spiral track is tightening up rapidly and that the total phase-shifting on this round of the spiral will be smaller than it first appeared during January 2005.

 

FOR A DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE RECENT "PHASE-SHIFTING" IN CHANDLER'S WOBBLE, GO TO THE NEW MATERIAL IN THE NEW Earth Changes Almanac

 

As reported in January:  The Great Rupture of the Indo-Trench on Christmas 2004 caused a decided departure from what was already an aberrant track.  The track has not returned to normal and it appears to be initiating what may best be described as a "phase shift" in the waveform of the motion of the North Spin Axis relative to the surface of the Earth. The onset of this phase shift began in approximately September 2004 and was followed approximately 120 days later with the Christmas Day Great Rupture.  Earlier "phase-shifts" of Chandler's Wobble during the 20th century also resulted in large Great Quakes and Ruptures.

 

BUT CURRENTLY,  the phase-shifting appears to have ended and the track of the wobble is now turning inward tightly to begin a rapid spiraling motion into the MIN phase of the wobble.

 

Accordingly, it may be fair to conclude that the peak period of danger from major tectonic events is now beginning to ebb.  However, keep in mind that the Earth is a huge and ponderous system with immense inertia.  The effects of the recent phase-shift may be felt for the next two years.

 

I RECOMMEND EXCEPTIONAL VIGILENCE AROUND THE EQUATORIAL ZONE, ESP IN THE CARIB PLATE, THE BAJA PLATE,  THE WESTERN COASTS OF THE AMERICAS, FROM ECUADOR THROUGH ALASKA, AND IN THE CENTRAL MEDITERREAN.

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

 

No change from last week

 

For an excellent timely discussion of mass instability in the Earth during this current time, check out this very interesting article by William Hutton which is linked below.  Long time subscribers to the EC Bulletins will recall that I began to report in 2000 that a major anomaly had appeared beginning in December 1998 in the track of Chandler's Wobble (of the North Spin Axis).  Hutton, a retired professional geologist, has followed up this lead with this very interesting article which confirms the anomaly within his framework of thought.

 

This is especially pertinent because the current anomaly is beginning to smell a lot like the 1998-1999 anomaly, which "phase-shifted" the wobble to some degree. If the wobble once again phase-shifts as it approaches its MIN spiral track in the 6.5 year cycle, it will reveal a new recurring pattern in polar motion which has not been apparent since the 1936 phase shift which Edgar Cayce described.  For one thing, it will reveal that the Earth will require an era of shape-shifting and accelerated wobble drift to regain a balanced distribution of mass (more mass needs to be shoved by centrifugal spin energy towards the equator).

 

Reflect on the idea that a phase-shift represents a shift in the time domain for a variable…suddenly it is in a new time connection with the flux of the universe.  Now reflect for a moment that the primary description of the shifting of the poles which was offered by the oral tradition of the Inca is the name "Pachacuti", which they defined as a rip in the fabric of time

 

This is ALL VERY PERTINENT as well because it tends to corroborate the "feeling" of the tripwires among psychics and shamen and avante garde researchers that an acceleration is occurring in Earth Changes right now and that many more major quakes are to be expected during the coming months. As you will see in Hutton's discussion, the 1998 incident was followed by some historical quakes.

POSSIBLE POLE-SHIFT PRECURSOR FOUND!

Two Scientists Have Detected A Large-Scale Redistribution Of Mass Within The Earth System, Beginning in 1998!

Introduction

The Hutton Commentaries (THC) has been saying from the beginning that a shift in the poles of Earth's rotational axis can only be caused by a significant shift of mass somewhere within our planet. Now, two scientists studying data on Earth's gravity field have found evidence of just such a mass shift that began in 1998. This is the year in which Cayce readings 3976-15 and 378-16 said that a forty-year-long period, from 1958-1998, marking the beginning of predicted Earth changes would come to an end. Then, in 1998 and beyond there would be "the changes wrought in the upheavals and the shifting of the poles."

We present evidence here that the "upheavals" may have begun in the inner Earth between 1998 and 2002, where the liquid outer core meets the overlying plastic mantle. This is the core-mantle boundary, or CMB. Upheavals along the CMB may have been detected by means of precision satellite-ranging measurements conducted since 1979. Interpretations of the voluminous measurements between 1979 and 2002 have been published by two scientists, Christopher Cox and Benjamin Chao, in the August 2 issue of Science magazine (p. 832). Here
follows their reasoning and their conclusions.

Hutton Commentaries On 1998 Polar Motion Anomaly

 

RECENT

 

The "jiggle" in the polar motion wobble produced by the 9.2 Indo-Trench quake can be clearly seen on the spiral wobble track.

 

It is as if two vectors at 90 degrees to each other are contending with each other over which force will move the Earth’s crust the most, and thus move the location of the North Spin Axis in one direction or another.

 

Since this anomaly is directly synchronous with the Great Rupture of the Indo-Trench, I am deeply suspicious that the events are directly related (the slightly erratic wobble causing the rupture, the rebound of which shifts the wobble into an even more erratic motion).

 

The specific causes are unknown (the general cause is simple:  an accumulating imbalance in the distribution of the mass of the Earth on which centrifugal force acts to push excess mass towards the Equator).

 

The appearances of the graphs of polar motion suggest that this is an "emerging" and accelerating instability which has been increasing in tempo for at least the past 20 years. (Actually this is an illusion, it is the crust of the Earth which is wobbling and moving as centrifugal force attempts to push accumulating extra mass (such as polar ice pack) towards the equator).

 

This acceleration in the rate of motion suggests the there is indeed a "Change In The Earth", as long prophesied, beginning to happen right before our eyes and under our feet.

 

As many no doubt have been reading, many prophetic "tripwires" among psychics and First World Medicine Wheel elders are clearly interpreting current Earth events as signals and signs and effects of the "Pachacuti", "Great Purification", or "Tribulation" which precedes the final avalanche of the crust (shifting of the poles, Ragnarok, Judgment Day, etc.).

 

 

FOR 2005:

 

In general, the Wobble Track is showing continued tightening of the Chandler’s Wobble Spiral, as should be at this time in its 7 year Wobble Cycle, and the track seems to be conforming with a continued acceleration in the rate of drift, but this can be by no means certain until this 7 year cycle is over.  In about two years we will be able to locate the minimum spiral of motion and then look for the average 7 year "location" of this past seven years for comparison with previous cycles.

 

NEXT SEVEN YEARS:

 

KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS WATCH HAS BEEN SET TO LOOK EXACTLY FOR THIS TYPE OF DEPARTURE OF THE EARTH FROM ITS PREVIOUS SPIRALING WOBBLE TRACKS.  THESE MOTIONS DURING THE PAST 90 DAYS CONFIRMS THE THESIS OF VORTEX TECTONICS AND THE DEDUCTION FOR THE PROJECTED AVALANCHE OF THE CRUST WHICH WAS CALCULATED IN THE "RETURN OF THE PHOENIX".

 

(The spiral track takes nearly seven years to define a complete wobble cycle and it takes the entire cycle to be able to calculate the average location of the North Spin Axis in order to compare it against other "average locations" in the previous axis cycles.  From this, a straight line track of the "average locations" can be computed and the acceleration in the rate of motion of the "shift" can be defined I believe at the current time that this will show a specific "jump" this past year, a micro "pole shift".  Very micro.)

MAGNETIC POLES – SHIFTING

What is happening to the magnetic fields of the Earth.  No real change during the past year:  a magnetic pole shift is not something to be very concerned about within this decade at least.

 

 

EXCELLENT BACKGROUNDER:

Focus On Our Magnetic Planet

Paris, France (ESA) Jan 25, 2005

http://www.terradaily.com/news/earth-magnetic-05b.html

"Mission controllers cross their fingers whenever the Sun is stormy and their spacecraft have to fly over the South Atlantic. There, even satellites in low orbits suffer many hits by atomic bullets from the Sun.

Troublesome faults occur in electronic systems and astronauts see flashes in their eyes. The Earth's magnetic field, which shields our planet against charged atomic particles coming from outer space, is curiously weak in that region.

The South Atlantic Anomaly, as the experts call it, is one pressing reason why they are intensifying their exploration of the Earth's magnetism. Denmark's Orsted satellite, launched in 1999, is dedicated to magnetic research, whilst Germany's CHAMP mission (2000) measures both magnetism and gravity.

These satellites show that the danger zone for satellites over Brazil and the South Atlantic is growing wider towards the southern Indian Ocean.

The Earth's magnetic field is becoming generally weaker at an astonishing rate. When a French-Danish team compared Orsted's results for 2000 with those from an American satellite, Magsat, 20 years earlier, the decline in the field's strength suggested that it might disappear completely in a thousand years or so.

The experts wonder if our planet is preparing to swap its north and south magnetic poles around, as it has often done before during the Earth's long history.

These and other mysteries about our magnetic planet will get the closer attention they deserve, in ESA's forthcoming Swarm project. Three satellites will work together to measure the magnetic field and its variations far more accurately than ever before. [...]

Separating the different sources of magnetism

Ordinary magnetic compasses obey the main magnetic field, produced by electric currents in the Earth's core of molten iron. But in magnetic storms, compass needles wander.

Since the 19th Century scientists have linked these storms to eruptions on the Sun. Many space ventures, recently including the ESA-NASA SOHO spacecraft and ESA's four-satellite Cluster mission, have helped to clarify the solar connection.

We live in a protective bubble in space called the magnetosphere. At its boundary, gusts in a non-stop solar wind of atomic particles battle with the Earth's magnetism.

As a result, events in outer space make a continual but highly variable contribution to the magnetic field. So do electric currents in the ionosphere, the zone of free electrons and charged air molecules high in the atmosphere that's best known for reflecting radio signals.

Other, much weaker patterns are overlaid on the global picture. In the Earth's crust, many rocks have built-in magnetism that remembers the direction of the main magnetic field when they formed.

This affects the field measured locally. By its subtle east-west comparisons Swarm will picture the magnetic field of the crust with unprecedented clarity. And even ocean water generates electric currents as it move in the main field, so that the ebb and flow of the tides have a slight magnetic effect.

As gauged by the satellites, the main field is roughly 6,000 times stronger than the rock magnetism of the ocean floor, and 30,000 times greater than the influence of the oceanic tides.

Only with delicate measurements by satellite constellations, supported by ground stations, ships and aircraft carrying magnetic instruments, can scientists sort out all the patterns of magnetism from the different sources.

The most careful analyses reveal yet another effect. Magnetic variations drive electric currents in the mantle, the main region between the core and the crust. These in turn cause further magnetic changes, from which scientists can estimate the electrical conductivity of the mantle. This provides a check on the temperature of the material hidden deep in the Earth's interior.

"What excites us is the huge scope of what we can study even with quite small satellites," comments Nils Olsen of the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen, who analyses Orsted's results while he helps to plan Swarm.

"By making magnetic measurements in space we get new information about the Earth, from the molten core deep under our feet, through the mantle, to the crust on which we live. And then we go on upwards into the upper atmosphere, through the planet's local space environment, and all the way to the Sun itself, which is the source of daily magnetic disturbances."

Practical benefits

Solar storms can be fatal for satellites, and not only on account of radiation damage. The atmosphere inflates and low-orbiting spacecraft run into unexpected air resistance.

Experts used to think it was just a matter of the air being heated by particles and electric currents in the regions around the poles, where auroras occur.

Now a sensitive French-built accelerometer on the German CHAMP satellite has revealed heating by intense currents where the solar wind pushes towards the magnetic poles in daytime. The three Swarm satellites will investigate this new effect with accelerometers of their own.

Swarm's operational lifetime, 2009-13, will coincide with the next expected peak of storminess on the Sun. Immediate practical benefits will centre on Swarm's general monitoring of space weather, and the solar events affecting not just spacecraft and astronauts but technological systems on the ground as well.

Magnetic storms can damage power systems and pipelines, whilst the changes in the magnetic field can mislead any navigational systems that use magnetic compasses. These include compasses operating underground to guide the drills used to find and recover oil.

For scientists, the biggest benefit of Swarm is that high-quality magnetic measurements provide a new way of 'x-raying' the hidden interior of planet. Earthquake waves and variations in the strength of gravity already provide a picture of the hot core, the rocky mantle that surrounds it, and the ever-active crust. But the picture is not yet clear enough for scientists to agree how the internal machinery of the planet really works.

"Magnetic measurements give a fresh point of view on the Earth's interior," says Roger Haagmans, who is responsible for solid-Earth science in ESA's Earth Observation programme.

"And Swarm will also investigate the puzzling changes in the Earth's core that are responsible for the present weakening of the magnetic field. That's already a matter of practical concern for many satellite operators. With a better idea of the reasons, we may know what to expect in the busy decades of spaceflight that we have ahead of us."

 

 

 

 

Asteroids

As of June 04,

NASA’S

ESTIMATE:

"Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs  (asteroids) are on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time."

SEISMIC SYZYGY WINDOWS

QUALIFER:  As we have seen at least three times this past year, most dramatically with the recent outbreak (Oct 23-26 2004) of large Earthquakes on the West side of Honshu Island (Japan), the Syzygy Window and Perigee principles DO NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY TO FORECAST AN INCREASE IN MAGNITUDE NOR FREQUENCY OF EARTHQUAKES.  Using strictly an intuitive view of the past 12 months, the rate of accuracy is definitely larger than random but probably not larger than about 70% for any given area.

 

THE CURRENT WEEK

 

We are now nearly two days past Perigee and the New Moon combined syzergy.  The effective Syzygy by ECB scheme of reckoning will be through to March 12. (2 days following the orbital "event")

 

FOR THE YEAR 2005

 

The strongest syzygies (based on the combination of the Lunar Phase with Perigee) during the first half of the year should tend to be around the New Moon.  The New Moon and Perigee combination was the strongest in January (occurring at virtually the same time on January 10) and the combination gradually gets weaker during the year and is at its lowest during the Summer.

 

The Full Moon is in the weakest syzygy (based on its distance from the Earth) during January and SUCCEEDING FULL MOONS will gradually become stronger, achieving their greatest pull on the Earth in June and July.  (Cancer natives will have a maximum power Lunar whammy this year).  Then it gradually gets weaker during the remainder of the year while the New Moon is slowly gaining again in strength.

 

HOWEVER, VERY IMPORTANT QUALIFICATION:  This characterization of strong and weak syzygies does not necessarily mean you can predict the strength or frequency of earthquake activity by this means…the Earth is inconsistent and full of surprises to keep us all busy.  Outbreaks of seismic activity can and do break out at any time. Large quakes tend to be in the syzygies, but they are not always…

 

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:

 

Jim Berkland, the originator of using syzygy to define the most active periods of seismic activity has a more complex method for computing dates and you may want to use his methods for greater precision.  For details see the Syzygy website  

 

Seismic/Tsunami Heads Up All Zones Pacific Rim of Fire & Indonesia

(ECB, February 9, 2005) There remains a substantial danger of additional major rupturing of the Earth's Crust and the creation of major Tsunami forces during the next 50 days. The 9.0 Great Rupture of Christmas 2004 in the Indo-Trench may be just a precursor to additional major seismic, volcanic, and tsunami activity to occur within the next three to four weeks.

Given the constellation of many material forces and various human impressions, all peoples who live in the Pacific Rim of Fire and along the Australian Plate, especially those on the coasts, should at all times maintain a heightened sense of vigilance

 

MOST ESPECIALLY DURING THE NEXT 20 DAYS.

 

Right now is the time to work through your evacuation plan. It is a useful drill for anytime and it may be needed in somewhere during the next 90 days. If you fall into the target areas outlined above, DO IT NOW.

 

(Perigee = the Moon’s closest approach to the Earth during its monthly orbit which increases gravitational influence of the Moon by as much as 15%; Apogee = the Moon’s greatest distance from the Earth during its monthly orbit).   (Berkland has a more complex formula for syzygy and his dates are often different.)  For details see the Syzygy website.

 

THE NEXT PLANETARY ALIGNMENTS

For any "Home Planet Software" charts of the planets which are shown here or through URLS which are provided on this page, you can decipher which planet is which by counting the orbital rings if you do not know the signs which denote the planets. Mercury is 1 closest to the Sun, Venus is 2, Earth is 3, Mars is 4, Jupiter is 5, Saturn is 6, Uranus is 7, Neptune is 8, Pluto is 9, and both Planet X and Nibiru are bogus.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PLANETARY/SOLAR INFLUENCES:  Solar Cycle 23 is rapidly approaching its minima period when solar activity and sunspot counts will be minimal most of the time.  But even so, major sunspot peaks, big flares, coronal holes, and powerful CME’s will still occur once in a while, as the graphs of previous sunspot cycles definitely show.  These flare-ups will be a lot less predictable than during the past four years, which makes the large flare-ups even more intrusive.

 

LIST OF ALIGNMENTS THROUGH TO JUNE 30, 2005

 

Today's Solar System:  Click Here For Heliocentric Chart of Solar System as of February 17, 2005

 

 

Two alignments are NOW near perfect and will begin to disperse during this coming week.

 

Venus | Uranus

Mars | Pluto

 

AS PREDICTED:  These are likely to produce a milder increase in solar activity than the last alignments involving Mercury.

 

The sunspot peak for this alignment was at about 60.

 

From January through to June 2005,  four particular periods stand out for their potential to induce major reactions in the solar atmosphere and pull out huge ionic storms, high sunspot counts, and major effects on the Earth’s weather. The largest peak should form up about the Spring Equinox and the largest storm front should blow in about the time of the Grand Alignment

 

The Spring Grand Alignment

Jupiter | Earth | Mercury | Sun | Venus

 

 

March 14, 2005  Mercury | Saturn
Spring Alignments begin in three main spirals
March 21,2005  Mars | Pluto with a spiral forming in
Mercury | Earth | Jupiter and another in Venus | Uranus
March 30, 2005 Jupiter | Earth | Mercury | Sun | Venus
form a virtual straight line through the solar system with Mars and Pluto still closely coupled. Observers on Earth will only be able to physically see Jupiter rising on the Eastern horizon just after sunset and Saturn close to the Mid-heavens in the Western half of the sky. In the very early morning Mars and Uranus will be visible.

 

Summer Ping Pong

 

June 7, 2005  Venus | Saturn with Mercury moving up in close alignment, followed on June 10 , 2005 with Mercury forming a triplet with Venus and Saturn as Earth couples with Pluto and
Mars | Neptune.  The timing of these alignments between these planets is not exact, the electromagnetic balances of the solar system will shift in a complex way, probably producing a number of ups and downs in the sunspot count.

 

 

 

 

 

 

STAR & PLANET WATCHING  

For background and the current information on observable planets.

 

PLANET MERCURY VISIBLE -- NASA REPORTS: "Go outside this evening around 6:30 pm; look low and to the west. Can you see a "star" shining through the rosy glow of sunset? That's Mercury, the first planet from the Sun. Normally hidden, Mercury will be easy to see every night this week. Pay special attention on Friday, March 11th, when Mercury appears beautifully close to the crescent moon: sky map."

SOLAR ECLIPSE -- NASA REPORTS:  "On April 8th, the Moon will glide in front of the Sun producing a total solar eclipse over the Pacific Ocean and a partial eclipse elsewhere." [full story]

NASA REPORTS ON THE NEAREST KNOWN PROBABLE MAJOR ASTEROID ENCOUNTER:  "There's no danger of a collision, but on April 13, 2029, asteroid 2004 MN4 will come awfully close to Earth. You'll be able to see the 300m-wide space rock glowing like a 3rd magnitude star as it passes only 30,000 km above our planet's surface--closer than many satellites. [full story]   That's a mighty big rock and that's mighty close.

 

NASA'S DATA ON NEAR EARTH ASTEROIDS: "Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs are on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time."

 

On 2 March 2005 there were 672 known Potentially

Hazardous Asteroids (three more than last month).  For March 2005, NASA has listed O Earth-asteroid encounters

A 7-day movie of the Sun captured Feb. 8th - 15th by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).

 

AS OF MARCH DAY 9: AS PREDICTED, THE SUNSPOT COUNT ROSE AGAIN IN A SMALL PEAK, THIS TIME to 77 with a rising Solar Flux at 100 on March 9.    This peak may continue to climb modestly for the Mercury | Saturn alignment of March 14.   But no major surge should be anticipated during the next 48 hours and after that solar activity should fade considerably for a few days before rising again for the late March Five Planet Grand Spring Alignment.  The peak for that sometime right around the Spring Equinox should be extraordinary.

 

AN HELIOCENTRIC LOOK AT THE SOLAR SYSTEM REVEALS THAT THE PLANETS ARE BASICALLY WIDELY AND RANDOMLY DISPERSED except for today's alignments which will break up rapidly. 

 

The two current alignments are near perfect at about 60 degrees apart from each other.  Both are considerably distant from the Earth and thus not much if any solar activity will be drawn our way.

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:  Solar Cycle 23 is dying quickly but IT CAN AND WILL OCCASSIONALLY PRODUCE SUDDEN STORMY MOMENTS WITH BRIEF MOMENTS OF HIGH SUNSPOT COUNTS, CME’S FLARES, ETC.  "NOW" is the kind of moment when these spritzy solar moods will come.

 

MONTHLY AVERAGES IN SOLAR CYCLE 23
These numbers are reported by Jan Alvestad

Over all, the sunspot average count (ISSN) for February 2004 was 46.0. By November 2004, the count was still abnormally high at 43.7, making the decline of Solar Cycle 23 slow indeed.  But December clearly brought the end of the high sunspot counts. The average dipped down to a low of 17.9, surprising everyone. The predicted average value for January was 27 but the Sun's average sunspot output nearly doubled December's and rose to 31.3.  February's was 29, some 8 more than the expected 21.  March is now projected to be some 24.

FOR 2005 – 2009

It looks like this Sunspot Cycle 23 will officially end at about the mid-point of the NASA projections.  This will push the next rise in the Sunspot Counts beginning in 2009 with the peak above 100 monthly average coming in late 2010 or in 2011. The average count should drop during the next 12 months to a monthly low in the range of 10.  More and more, now and for the next half dozen years, the Sun will influence Earth’s atmosphere and weather less and less.  Global Warming and El Nino type of phenomena will be more and more influential compared to the solar input.  The geo-data we gather during the next three years about weather, climate, the Arctic, Antarctic, Drought Regions, etc. will be extremely valuable in telling us what the true long-term geo-trends really are.

NOTE:  The Sun and its cycles are really not very "average" and not very "cyclical" or "regular".  Nowhere can we find any evidence of an exact regularity, only constant variations.  The Sun is and probably always has been a vast cauldron of chaotic storms, electro-magnetic upwellings, and enormous explosions and sudden flares (or CME’s) which can extend out as far as even the outer planets, producing somewhat chaotic impacts on the planets.  All this makes exact predictions of solar activity far beyond the pale of human science, even with first class models of the electromagnetic gradients created by the planets and their orbital relationships.  From this it is easy to infer with considerable experience and conviction, that nothing on Earth can be foreseen, EXACTLY.  Just as some order is inevitable, so is some chaos built directly into the cosmos.

 

 

 

 

 

SOLAR ACTIVITY

As reported by NASA/NOAA unless otherwise stated.  (Sudden surprises and huge storms are always possible even during sunspot minima periods such as the one we are currently headed into).  Descriptions and numbers are based on numbers as given by Iway sources at about 1:00 – 3:00 PM Arizona Mountain Time (which does not have daylight savings time).

 

 

Solar activity was mostly muted down this week like last week.  Some minor activity appeared but all is tapering off and all observers agree that not much is likely to appear during the next three days.  

 

In other words, not much energy for Earth's weather storm fronts and not much is likely to appear during the next several days

 

The Solar Wind was modest at: 690.4 km/s this hour while pushing a thin density of 0.6  protons/cm3".   

 

Fluxgate Magnetometer: To see the Fluxgate moment to moment, CLICK HERE.  The Fluxgate Chart at the University of Alaska (which measures magnetic disturbances in the Earth’s atmosphere created by solar winds and ion storms) shows five fairly small, short duration magnetic storms during the past 30 hours with a lot of very small, very short duration chops (as of this time, about 2 PM Mountain time US).

 

NASA AURORA WATCH:  lots of auroras are possible from the coronal hole solar wind we are in.

 

NASA PREDICTS:   "Earth is inside a solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal hole…Sunspot 742 is growing, but it does not yet pose a threat for strong solar flares. Credit: SOHO/MDI."  There is a 1-20% probability of geomagnetic storms, a 1-15%  probability on M and/or X Class Flares.

 

 

Jan Alvestad reports:  "The geomagnetic field was unsettled to minor storm on March 8. Solar wind speed ranged between 622 and 845 km/sec under the influence of a high speed stream from CH149.  Solar flux measured at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz was 93.5. The planetary A index was 26 (STAR Ap - based on the mean of three hour interval ap indices: 26.5)...The background x-ray flux is at the class B2 level.  At midnight there were 3 spotted regions on the visible solar disk. The solar flare activity level was very low. No C class events were recorded during the day.   Region 10741 lost the trailing spots, however, several small spots emerged in the leading spot section.   Region 10742 added spots and penumbral area. The region has a significant amount of polarity intermixing and further growth will increase the chances of minor M class flares occurring...March 6-8: No obvious fully or partly Earth directed CMEs were observed."

 

Jan Alvestad predicts:  "The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled to minor storm on March 9 and quiet to active on March 10 due to a high speed stream from CH149. Quiet to unsettled is likely on March 11-12. "  Alvestad also predicts for the next 24 hours a 20-60% probability of coronal holes, a 20-60% probability of CME’s, and a  20-60%  probability of M and/or X Class Flares.

 

 

 

 

WORLD WEATHER SUMMARY

Those who have been watching the weather patterns track the Sunspot Peaks  have seen that the correlations between sunspot peaks and major storm fronts coming in off the oceans to track across the continents is roughly pretty good, sometimes very much exactly on the mark.  Accordingly, our "sloppycasts" (approximate continental weather patterns) this past few years have proven out to be fairly worthwhile.  With the decline in sunspot activity, weather is now more governed by Earth’s geophysics and will be mostly through to about 2010. For geophysical-based reports and predictions – start with Yahoo Weather, or the Weather Channel. Am I resigning from weather forecasts?  Almost. This section will only add commentary on possible weather disturbances when major sunspot peaks form up.  These should be more rare than during the past four years.

Believe it or not, all conditions are moderating this week in most of the Northern Hemisphere, even if nothing in the climate regimes are normal anymore.  In the Southern Hemisphere, late Summer conditions are intensifying into a major bout of very strong Fall storms.  This early Fall in the South will bring severe weather about the end of March, this early Spring in the North will bring in April like a pride of lions attacking a herd of gazelles.

 

EARTH WEATHER PREDICTION FOR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS

(Northern Hemisphere) This "sloppycast" is based on sunspot counts, planetary alignments, and visual data shown on satellite and radar.

 

 

All weather should firm up during the next seven days. Existing storm and atmospheric conditions will continue and gradually strengthen in intensity while warming gradually.

 

EARTH WEATHER PREDICTION FOR WINTER SEASON

(Northern Hemisphere) This "sloppycast" is based on sunspot counts, planetary alignments, and visual data shown on satellite and radar.

 

 

FOR SPRING:

During the end of March we will have another major round of extreme weather, due to the five planet straight line alignment.  After a mild ending to Winter, the first week of Spring will rapidly turn into a very stormy period of about two weeks of extremely wet weather.  No doubt the high mountains will have another  late round of snow and the skiing season may be extended in many areas.

 

SOUTHWEST CONDITIONS

This "sloppycast" is based on six years of living in the USA Pacific Southwest, the sunspot counts, planetary alignments, and visual data shown on satellite and radar.

 

The wild flowers are rioting raucously in the Southwest.

 

More rain this week, more forecast for the next week.

 

Hey, PNW, we have had your clouds and snow and rain since December!!!  We no longer remember what the desert was once like….

 

THIS IS BEGINNING TO APPEAR TO ME AS A NEAR TROPICAL ZONE TYPE OF CLIMATE REGIME.  This is the type of climate I predicted for the Pacific Southwest after the next avalanche of the crust.

 

If this continues during the next few years, every square inch of the ecosystem of the Pacific Southwest will change radically in both flora and fauna.  Topsoil will begin to form and hundreds of species will move in to grow profusely.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY PREDICTED:  The Sonoran Desert Plain will have a long Spring with some occasional light rain getting rarer and rarer until the Summer Monsoon begins. I am not sure at this point what is in store for the Summer Monsoon.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:  The past 150 days have clearly broken the drought pattern of the past four years.  You can see it in the plants and the atmosphere everywhere.  It "feels" wet here now even on a sunny day, which it rarely has during the past six years (that I have been here).  Some climatologists are arguing that this is an anomalous wet year for the Pacific Southwest and that the drought will reassert itself next year or the year after.  I am inclined to think that the drought in the Southwest is a product of both the Sunspot Cycle 23 and the Global Warming syndrome.  From this, I suppose that the drought pattern may be somewhat reduced during the next four years during the Sunspot Minima, submerged completely by a lot of rain during El Nino, if it appears, but slowly the drought will reappear during the next climb of sunspot counts during Solar Sunspot Cycle 24.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EL NINO & LA NINA WATCH
The watch is now open again; Pacific water activity appears mostly normal, we are between the extremes of the ENSO; Click here for the NOAA window on the Pacific Ocean Temperatures:

http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/map/clim/sst_olr/sst_animated.gif

 

BREAKING NEWS:

 

OKAY!!!  THANK YOU NOAA.

They have resumed updating their animated chart.

 

As of February 27, 2005, no trends, no anomalies are apparent in the chart of ocean surface water temperatures in the Pacific. 

 

El Nino MAY OR MAY NOT OCCUR.  No prediction one way or the other is truly possible at the current moment. If I was at the Vegas Casino, I would fold my previous bet and find another table.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

The NOAA website for El Nino has gotten fairly well organized and is far more digestible by laypeople. 

Try clicking here to go to the latest NOAA ENSO Home Page.

 

If El Nino does begin to firm up, it will have little impact on the Spring of 2005, but it may begin to impact during the Summer and Fall months and perhaps deliver a VERY wet and warm Winter for 2006.

 

Or not…only time will tell.  Probably by the end of May we will know for certain.

 

AS REPORTED PREVIOUSLY – THE CLASSIC EL NINO – We do not at this point know whether an El Nino is in the offing for 2005.  Purely in accordance with the X Wave correlation which I discovered in the Vortex Tectonics Model,  AN EL NINO IS MORE PROBABLE THAN NOT IN 2005.  But, the El Nino is not like an astrophysical cycle.  There are some "missing" El Nino’s in the record of the 20th century and we may have a missing one.  HOWEVER, WE CAN’T BE CERTAIN UNTIL ABOUT APRIL OF 2005, which is about the latest month in which the syndrome has formed up during previous El Nino’s.

 

ADDITIONAL NOTE:  The year 2004 and/or 2005, in accordance with the 100 year X Wave Graph of the motion of the spin axis in Chandler’s Wobble, COULD BE EL NINO YEARS.   Graphs of various El Nino periods seem to show that the beginning of temperature build-up can occur as late as April of an El Nino year.  So 2005 may not be callable until early Spring 2005.

 

 

 

KEEP WATCHING THE ARCTIC,  ANTARCTIC, and the desert zones. These areas are the most objective front line observatories of the climate shift.

 

 

GLOBAL WARMING

It is becoming obvious that we have a long term real shift in the average temperatures and climate regions related to the latitudes.  This climate shift is creating a growing environmental disaster in the polar zones and in the desert-prone latitudes such as in the Pacific Southwest. For the latest short review, see Earth Changes Bulletin Update As Of May 26, 2004 and the Earth Changes Bulletin Update As Of August 18, 2004

NO CHANGE THIS WEEK

 

 

 

 

 

IONIZING SOLAR ACTIVITY & MASS BEHAVIOR

 

BREAKING NEWS

 

All conditions still muting out.  This muting should continue. Mass Behavior for the most part is poised and stagecrafted, not out of control.  Even the bombings in the Middle East are crafted…truly random violence and emotional responses are waning.

 

FOR THE NEXT PERIOD

 

No change from last week.

 

With the falling count of the average Sunspot Count, more and more people are shifting international discussions to elections, compromises, negotiations, diplomacy, renouncing or ending violence, etc.. all within the context set by the Imperial Faction.

 

It is the next wave and it could take us through to the Fall of 2005.  How the coalition shapes up in Iraq is super critical, this powder keg may still blow up and ignite a greater war but the likelihood is diminishing.  The Shi'a leadership has stuck it out this long, they are likely to rationally push along Iraq's eventual independence, even it takes another year of slowly manipulating the Imperial Faction out.

 

With the death (likely CIA or MOSSAD inspired assassination) of Arafat, the American military machine is knee deep already in taking over the Palestinian government.  A U.S. General has been "appointed" by the PLO to rebuild its "security forces".  It should be obvious where all of that is going….

 

Bush's Democracy is springtime all over the Mid-East and as you have no doubt noticed they are grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

 

STAND PAT  AGAIN THIS WEEK

 

The assessment as of last week, repeated below, is well and good in very general terms for this rapid descent into Sunspot Cycle 23 MIN. 

 

For a general discussion and forecast for the Spring Season, go to:  Earth Changes Almanac

 

 

IN GENERAL FOR  2005-2009 DURING LULLS OF THE SOLAR VORTEX:

 

AS OBSERVED AS OF DECEMBER 30:  As the sunspot counts decline and fail to peak for the planetary alignments, the impact on humans and the biosphere is declining progressively.  Relatively more human activity will tend to be more driven by mental activity and spiritual connectivity than emotional impulses.

 

This is going to be especially true with the four year jag of emotional associations around "patriotism".  During 2005, patriotism and martial ardor will become increasingly  "old" among the young and the marginal.  More and more soldiers will wake up and realize they have been on a "bender" which left them in a literal hellhole.

 

As solar activity ebbs into low activity levels, have you noticed that the polls are increasingly showing that people think the Tragic Invasion of Iraq was in fact A MISTAKE (now some 60%) and that 65% believe Rusted should go.

 

People collectively are losing the ardor of blind emotional commitments which the sorcerers in the Mass Broadcast Media and the agents of Hillbilly Sunday whipped up.  They are waking up to a wicked hangover in bed with a very ugly mess.

 

This shift is palpable and will grow in magnitude and depth.  The Imperial Faction will stall out rapidly during 2005, it is increasingly unlikely that they will have their way in the Middle East.

 

 

 

 

 

EARTHQUAKES

Around the world to see the current and potential patterns of seismic activity, with coverage of the windows of danger.  Unless otherwise specified, all quake activity which is discussed is based on the USGS database charts and tables which list quake activity in excess of 2.0 mag. and above.  Unfortunately there are many lags in reporting of information about quakes, thus neither the numbers of quakes nor the actual quakes discussed may be complete and accurate.  Real time analysis of quake patterns is merely AN APPROXIMATION BASED ON INCOMPLETE INFORMATION.  FOR MORE QUAKE INFO RELATED TO SYZYGY WINDOWS, Jim Berkland calculates syzygy windows with considerably more sophistication than I do.  See Syzygy.com

 

Quake activity during the past seven days was muted in magnitude and frequency.  Two modest shape shifters on the margin of the Antarctic Tectonic Plate,  plus at least five in the high Arctic, the largest of which was a magnitude 6.2.

 

The largest number of quakes during the past seven days struck on March 6, the same day the five struck in "NORTH OF SEVERNAYA ZEMLYA" (Eastern Siberia) in the Arctic portion (Gakkel Ridge) of the Great Rift of the Earth.  One other 6.2 quake struck in the Soloman Islands, most other quakes were well down into the 4.0 to 5.2 range.

 

The same areas which have been especially active the past several weeks were one again struck the most. Along the Equator, Sumatra, Papua, the Fiji/Solomon Islands, and Central America, were the most active zones.  To the North of Papua, Taiwan, Japan, and Kamchatka were the most active zones.  To the South of Central America, the Andes Range was the most active zone.  To the North of Central America, the most active zones were microquakes related to underwater volcanism off the coast of the Pacific Northwest (Oregon to British Columbia).

 

Two odd ball quakes struck, a 4.2 quake on the underwater Lohi Volcano in the mid Pacific and a 5.4 on the Gaspe Peninsula in Canada by the St. Laurence Seaway. Actually neither of these are so odd, both areas are tectonically active.  It is just that activity has been relatively low-level in these zones for many years.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:  Quite clearly the Earth is rapidly adjusting its shape in response to the phase-shifting of the Chandler Wobble and the sudden rupturing of the Indo-Trench.  The equatorial zone is still in process of adjusting the shape of the Earth along Sumatra and at the opposite side at the coast of Equator, which is also on the Equator.  This has stimulated adjustment in shape and acceleration of both seismic and volcanic activity from Ecuador to as far North as Colima and Popo.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:   I AM STILL VERY CONCERNED THAT THE EARTH IS "COCKING THE TRIGGER" THIS YEAR FOR MAJOR TECTONIC ACTIVITY WHICH WILL BREAK OUT IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND IGNITE EL POPO IN A CATASTROPHIC ERUPTION.  THIS HAS BEEN PREDICTED IN A COSTRA NOSTRA DAMUS PREDICTION AND RECENTLY I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS ALSO MOST LIKELY PREDICTED DIRECTLY BY THE WORLD FAMOUS MICHEL DE NOSTREDAME.

 

COSA NOSTRA DAMUS WATCH FOR SOUTH CAL.

 

SUPER ALERT FOR THIS WATCH!!!

As witnessed by the Indo-Trench Rupture and the aberrant motions of the Earth’s crust, global tectonic motions in the Earth are unstable and obviously are tending to exceptionally explosive releases in the trenches of tectonic collision and in the spreading Great Rift zones.

 

The Western ledge of the Carib Plate is 180 degrees from the 9.3 quake in the Indo-Trench.  Accordingly, the Carib Plate may also release its "shape-shifting" stress during one of the upcoming Lunar syzygies this year.  This release could come in the form of major volcanism and major Earthquakes which breaks out first in Central America and then presses the Baja Plate enough to ignite the pattern of earth quakes which are described in the Costa Nostra Damus psychic prediction. We are watching for signals of this possibility very carefully because it will mean life or death for millions of people in Mexico City.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED: according to the Cosa Nostra Damus Prophecy, a major destructive quake could now strike at any time in Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Hollywood, the Van Nuys Valley region, Bakersfield, and anywhere along the escarpment of the San Bernardino Mountains. This will be a follow up to the 4.9 quake which was felt in Coos Bay Oregon during July 2004.  If a quake occurs near Santa Barbara, warnings will need to be given to Mexico City about the possibility of a major explosive event in Popo.

 

SLOW EARTH MOVEMENT WATCH

 

No reports to add this week

 

SHAPE-SHIFTERS WATCH

The quake activity in the Great Rift is one of the most important harbingers for the Earth Changes Watch to monitor. As the Earth’s crust adjusts its shape in response to gravitational and spin energy vectors, quakes in the Great Rift increase and tectonic activity all around the world increases. (Unless otherwise specified, all quake activity which is discussed is based on the USGS LOCAL AREA database charts and tables which list quake activity in excess of 3.0 mag. and above. Generally most of the quakes which appear in these counts are 4.5 plus in magnitude.)  For additional information on Plate Tectonics and charts of the Great Rift of the Earth, go to Plate Tectonics Map

 

At least seven this week.  Two modest quakes struck in different zones along the edge of the Antarctic Tectonic Plate and at least five, ranging from 5.0 to 6.2, struck along the Gakkel Ridge in the High Arctic North of Eastern Siberia.

 

The Gakkel Ridge is an undersea rift zone containing active volcanoes.  Hence these quakes were probably more related to volcanism than shape-shifting.  Here is a representative of the largest of these quakes

WEEK’S MOST SIGNIFICANT QUAKES

 

 

The thousands of microquakes in two zones off the coasts of Canada, the U.S. PNW, the multiple quakes along the Gakkel Ridge North of Siberia in the High Arctic, and the 4.2 quake on the Lohi Seamount South of Kilauea. The large quakes in the Arctic were probably accompanied very large numbers of microquakes.  These are most likely almost entirely volcanic in nature.

 

They indicate that a major increase in underwater volcanism in underway in the Northern Hemisphere.  NOTE THE TIME  LAG WITH THE INDO-TRENCH RUPTURE:  about 75 days.

 

 

NORTH AMERICAN WATCH

Unless otherwise specified, all quake activity which is discussed is based on the USGS LOCAL AREA database charts and tables which list quake activity in excess of 1.0 mag. and above. Generally most of the quakes which appear in these counts are in the range of 1 to 2 in magnitudeAny numbers used in this section may or may not be accurate and may or may not reflect what will eventually appear in scientific databases. IMPORTANT NOTE: Most volcano monitoring sites appear to be screening out microquakes. A study needs to be done to establish how to reconcile various lists and databases because of this practice.  The numbers below cannot be considered to be definitive totals and subtotals.  We use them merely to observe relative fluctuations from week to week.

 

Seismic activity in North America overall for quakes in the range of 1.0 and DEFINITELY up from the preceding week but difficult to say HOW MUCH because the USGS server was not serving up the totals for the U.S. and Alaska today.  This most likely had to do with the difficulties of defining just what the true frequency of seismic activity was this week off the coasts of Oregon and Vancouver Island.  There were thousands of quakes mentioned.  In addition to these swarms of small quakes, there is a continued concentration of microquakes around St. Helens and the Long Valley area is beginning to upsurge once again.  Even Yellowstone was up a few.

VOLCANOES

Around the world with the most interesting and relevant volcano stories; briefs on the likely eruptions as well as coverage of on-going activity. For information on current eruptions, see the Southwest Volcano Centre.  Or see "Breaking Volcano Eruption News".

 

 

THE INCREASE IN OBSERVABLE WORLD VOLCANIC ACTIVITY HAS PAUSED MOMEMTARILY.

 

OVERALL SPREAD OF ACTIVITY THIS PAST SEVEN DAYS declined by a factor in the range of 5%.. for the second week in a row.

 

BUT THE ACTUAL ACTIVITY AT THE ACTIVE VOLCANOES IS GETTING MORE AND MORE BRISK

 

The number of active volcanoes decreased to 22 during the past seven days.   BUT THOSE VOLCANOES WHICH ARE ERUPTING ARE DEFINITELY ERUPTING BY ALL TECHNICAL CRITERIA.  Most of the active volcanoes are doing more than lazily puff out steam once in a while. 

 

MORE OR LESS, ST. HELENS HAS ACCELERATED THE PACE OF ITS STILL SLOW BUT REGULAR ERUPTION.  It is oozing lava now, in tandem with Kilauea, Etna, Rabual, and many others along the Equator in the Pacific on Kamchatka Peninsula. 

 

AS LAST WEEK:  Ash and steam emissions are continuing all around the Pacific Rim.  Volcanoes in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Papua New Guinea area, the Philippines, the Marianas and Vanuatu, Islands, continued various forms of mostly low-level activity this past few days.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED:  More and more with each passing week, the Pacific Rim Northern Arc volcanoes seemed destined to flare up and erupt vigorously during the next 150 days. 

 

VOLCANO TO WATCH:  EREBUS

Major eruptions may occur in the deep South as well.  AS QUOTED FROM SWVC:  "As of the 11th of February, the Mt. Erebus Volcano Observatory (MEVO) reports

http://www.swvrc.org/cerupt.htm

that there has never been an eruption, or set of eruptions like this in the recorded history of Mt. Erebus. On February 7th from 5am UTC to 11am UTC there were 31 documented eruptions. All of the events had very clear Infrasound signals, however many of them were relatively small. The larger events had very clear Infrared signals (most predominantly at RAY). The eruptive swarm peaked from 0700 UTC to 0800 UTC.

Mt. Erebus (3794 meters above sea level) is classified as a polygenetic stratovolcano. The composition of the current eruptive activity on Mt. Erebus is anorthoclase-phyric tephriphonolite and phonolite, which constitute the bulk of exposed lava flow on the volcano. The oldest eruptive products from Mt. Erebus consist of relatively undifferentiated and non-viscous basanitic lavas that form the low, broad platform shield of the Erebus edifice. Slightly younger basanites and phonotephrite lavas crop out on Fang Ridge, an eroded remnant of an early Erebus volcano and at other isolated locations on the flanks of the Mt. Erebus edifice.

Mt. Erebus located on Ross Island, Antarctica is the world’s southern-most active volcano. Discovered in 1841 by James Ross, it is one of only a very few volcanoes in the world with a long-lived (decades or more) lava lake. Scientific research, sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) since began the early 1970’s had included basic study of the petrology and geophysics of the volcano, the eruptive history, activity and degassing behavior of the lava lake, and the overall impact of the volcano on the Antarctica and global environment. Research on Mt. Erebus has been primarily conducted by scientists in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science and the Bureau of Geology and Mineral resources at the New Mexico Institute of Technology.

The Current Color Code for Mt. Erebus is ORANGE. The Mt. Erebus volcano in Antarctica was successfully forecasted by SWVRC's programme ERUPTION Pro 10.5 to erupt in 2005 with 100% probability."

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS POINT:  Anything on the Carib Plate (East, West, North, or South) is in danger of major tectonic activity during the next 90 days, especially around the Perigeen New Moons.  To this list I would add the Northern Arc of the Pacific Rim of Fire, especially on Kamchatka, Alaska, and St. Helens.

 

SAINT HELENS VOLCANO UPDATES

Text in this section is a condensation of direct quotes from online source:

CURRENT UPDATE supplied by the U.S. Geological Survey, Vancouver, Washington; University of Washington, Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network, Seattle, Washington; U.S. Geological Survey, Vancouver, Washington; University of Washington, Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network, Seattle, Washington

MOUNT ST. HELENS UPDATE

Current status is Volcano Advisory (Alert Level 2); aviation color code ORANGE

Growth of the new lava dome inside the crater of Mount St. Helens continues, accompanied by low rates of seismicity, low emissions of steam and volcanic gases, and minor production of ash. During such eruptions, episodic changes in the level of activity can occur over days to months. The eruption could also intensify suddenly or with little warning and produce explosions that cause hazardous conditions within several miles of the crater and farther downwind. Small lahars could suddenly descend the Toutle River if triggered by heavy rain or by interaction of hot rocks with snow and ice. These lahars pose a negligible hazard below the Sediment Retention Structure (SRS) but could pose a hazard along the river channel upstream.

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift east-northeastward early in the day and shift to an east-southeastward drift later in the afternoon.

Potential ash hazards to aviation: Under current eruptive conditions, small, short-lived explosions may produce ash clouds that exceed 30,000 feet in altitude. Ash from such events can fall in trace amounts 100 miles or more downwind.

Recent observations: A small but significant explosive event occurred yesterday at 5:25 p.m. PST. Pilot reports indicated that the resulting steam-and-ash plume reached an altitude of 36,000 feet above sea level within minutes. The main eruption pulse lasted about 10 minutes, but lower levels of activity persisted for at least another 15 to 45 minutes. Within minutes of the onset of this event, we lost communication with 7 monitoring stations in the crater, but not with any stations outside the crater. The event followed a few hours of slightly increased seismicity that was noted but not interpreted as precursory activity. There were no other indications of an imminent change in activity. Still images from a camera at the northeast end of the crater mouth show a clear component of explosive vertical jetting associated with the event and evidence of ballistics extending at least as far as the north side of the old dome. Aerial photos in of the waning phases of the activity in conjunction with these still images show evidence of small ash flows having moved north and onto to old lava dome. There were reports of fine dustings of ash falling in Ellensberg, Yakima, and Toppenish, Washington between 7pm and 9pm yesterday. As of 2am today, the leading edge of the plume had been tracked to western Montana as a faint and diffuse cloud. Today, field crews will make visual observations and attempt to retrieve and possibly redeploy some of the crater instrumentation stations.

OTHER CASCADE VOLCANOES as of March Day 9 2005
Same source as above.

"All other volcanoes in the Cascade Range are all at normal levels of background seismicity. These include Mount Baker, Glacier Peak, Mount Rainier, and Mount Adams in Washington State; Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson, Three Sisters, Newberry, and Crater Lake, in Oregon; and Medicine Lake, Mount Shasta, and Lassen Peak in northern California."

LATEST FORECAST FOR SAINT HELENS BY EC BULLETIN:   

March-2 2005:  The three active eruptions (still small) on Kamchatka Peninsula, one in the Kurile Islands, and a new one on Atka Island in the Aleutians, along and the continued steady increase in seismic activity around St. Helens most likely means that this prediction below is on track for major activity during the next four months:

I EXPECT VIGOROUS ERUPTIONS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PACIFIC SOMETIME BY SUMMER EQUINOX.

Look for the next increase in eruptive behavior in St. Helens to occur in tandem with an increase in activity on Kamchatka Peninsula and/or in Alaska.  Activity among these volcanoes will progressively increase and reach a peak in the period of May – July.

AS OBSERVED LAST MONTH:  At least three of the active volcanoes on Kamchatka Peninsula are behaving in many ways very similar to St. Helens.  Perhaps we shall see these four volcanoes, which are in the Northern Arc of the Pacific Rim of Fire, flare up virtually simultaneously.

AS REPORTED PREVIOUSLY: Colima may be the closest "model" for how St. Helens may behave during the next few years.  Both may erupt off and on with lava flows, as Colima does now from week to week, or with occasional ash plumes, then slowly stewing for weeks and months on end while merely steaming like nearly two dozen other volcanoes around the world, steaming until the next eruptive episode of ash and lava, which may last from a few days to several months.  More probable than not, St. Helens will have sudden flare-offs and a few major ash plumes during the next year, but no major, explosive eruption which comes even close to its 1980 eruption.  It will continue to sporadically emit steam and ash like Colima and Popo for the next few years.  How much and how vigorously remains unpredictable.

 

Here are the SWVC volcanic activity numbers as of March Day 9 2004: (SWVC does it annual database cleaning and new predictions at the beginning of the year, accordingly its numbers in early January "break" sequence with the last numbers in December).

 

 

7 on restless list (could go on active list at any moment) (same as last week)

 

34 alert list – down two from 36 last week (alert list are volcanoes with pre-cursor activities suggesting that activity may begin)

 

22 on active list (seismic, gas, steam, lava, ash, or explosive activity) (down from 23  a week ago)

 

Popo gave a 20 puff day yesterday.  Centrapred reports for March Day 9 (17:00 GMT) that "In the last 24 hours, the monitoring system of Popocatpetl volcano recorded 20 exhalations accompanied by steam, gas and sometimes small amounts of ash. At the moment of this report we can observe the volcano with a light steam fumarole. In an aerial photograph taken on January 14th, subsidence is observed in the inner crater; an external lava dome at the bottom of the crater can not be distinguished."

Mt St Helens Volcano (USA)
46.20 N, 122.18 W, summit elevation 2549 m, stratovolcano
Wednesday 9th March 2005
Mt St Helens volcano erupted at 5:25 p.m on Tuesday 8th March, one hour after a magnitude 2.0 volcanic earthquake was registered under the volcano. Pilots reported the cloud of ash reached 36,000 feet (10,800) within a few minutes of the eruption. The main part of the eruption lasted 30 minutes. Three monitoring stations in the crater have stopped operating, and will be checked by scientists when conditions permit.

Kliuchevskoi Volcano (Russia)
56.06 N, 160.64 E, summit elevation 4835 m, stratovolcano
Tuesday 8th March 2005
The ash plume from Kliuchevskoi volcano in Kamchatka (Russia's Far East) has now stretched more than 70 kilometers. Volcanic bombs are ejected to a height of more than 800 meters. Lava is flowing down the western side of the volcano. Lava is interacting with the ice and snow causing the magmatic material to explode and produce ash. Eruptions from explosions rise as high as eight kilometers. The lava flow has broadened and is claiming fresh portions of the Erman glacier which has melted. Lava emission has increased over the past few days. There is now a high probability of massive mud flows rushing down the slopes of the volcano and reaching the village of Klyuchi, situated 30 kilometers from the volcano. Mud streams carry at high speed rocks up to three meters in diameter and tree trunks. This represent a serious danger for people and property. The population has been warned of the possible danger. The village of Klyuchi is located between two currently erupting volcanoes, Kliuchevskoi and Sheveluch. Volcanic ash periodically rains on the village. There remains a danger for aviation in connection with ash emissions from the craters of the two volcanoes. If particles of volcanic ash, whose diameter may be two millimeters, get into aircraft turbines, they may disable the engines. The eruption of Kliuchevskoi began on January 17. Eruptions from the volcano may last between one month and several years.

Volcanic Activity in Guatemala
Sunday 6th March 2005
Update for 4th March.
Pacaya Volcano. Constant volcanic tremor is registered at the volcano. A lava flow 150 m long descends southwest flank. At Fuego Volcano, incandescent lava is ejected 20 m above the crater accompanied by constant degassing which sounds like a locomotive engine. A 200 m lava flow descends towards the Taniluyá River, with avalanches of incandescent blocks from the lava front. At Santa Maria volcano, a lava flow down the southwestern flank of the volcano causes a landslide of blocks.

Ambrym Volcano Situation Report (Vanuatu)
16.25 S, 168.12 E, summit elevation 1334 m, Pyroclastic Shield Volcano
Wednesday 2nd March 2005
Residents of Ambrym Island in Vanuatu are calling for international assistance to help with the disaster caused by the ongoing volcanic eruptions. Ambrym is one of the world's most active volcanoes and has been in almost continuous eruption for the past 200 years. One year ago there was a change in eruptive activity which caused damage to food crops and created health problems for the residents. One year later, the volcano is still creating problems for the local communities, and the population is still calling for food aid to help prevent a famine on the island. Famine is the great forgotten killer of volcanic eruptions. During a survey of the volcano in November 2004, Volcanologist John Seach surveyed the damage to the island and made observations of the changes in volcanic activity. A new report received from the island 4 days ago by John Seach indicated that the situation is getting desperate for some residents who do not have enough food. So far only $1000 USD has been raised to help with food aid. Ambrym Volcano is closed to the public due to volcanic activity. Further information on how to assist can be obtained from John Seach. john@volcanolive.com

Standing Assessment:  Likely, it is fair to conclude that the not-so-invisible Black Arts Nation, from HAARP to the Navy, to the Bush/Ashcroft prisons in Iraq/Afghanistan and Cuba, not to mention many other technologies, areas, and programs, are far out of ethical, moral, constitutional, and treaty control, as has been widely feared. 

 

 

BLACK ARTS NATION

 

 

NO UPDATE THIS WEEK

Weather Modification:  Many psychics have predicted it.  Many scientists are reporting details on aspects of it. BUT THE WEATHER ITSELF MAY BE THE FINAL WITNESS.  What ever is happening with the Wacky Weather over North America this Winter, I am now hostile to the idea that it is either induced by the Sunspot Cycle or by Global Warming.  Things are too too…

 

too kinky…

 

too extreme…

 

I have been trying for the past few years to connect as much phenomenon as possible into the cycles of the vast solar vortex.  That sure did work well during the peak of Sunspot Cycle 23 and it will again during the next peak.  But right now, as we descend into the Solar Minima, something else is must be happening.  Anybody heard from The Shadow lately?  We need "detectives" to track this "something else" down.

 

 

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED:  The Iway and the bookstores are awash with the outings of the Black Arts Nation.

 

BUT THERE IS NO CHANGE THIS WEEK IN ACTION WHICH IS AIMED AT DEALING WITH IT

 

Have we passed the point of no return?  Should we just admit to ourselves that the Junta won and we live in a seedy third-rate banana republic which is devolving rapidly into the autocracy of nowhereville?

 

Riddle this one!  Can you answer it?

 

It looks like civilized people are being taken collectively to the cleaners and once again their noses are being rubbed in the realization that after all, this is NOT a civilization, it is a masquerade.

 

So far the scandals are being kept in the closets of Washington DC.
