Earth Changes Bulletin Update As Of May 4 2005

You have heard of the Weather Report?  Here exclusively is this week’s  "Earth Report" - a short review of the "big picture" about how the dynamic changes in the Sun and the Earth are effecting our lives more and more intensely, with the latest prognostications and predictions for weathermen, farmers, investors, businessmen, and every man.

Tectonic danger is probably waning at the current time.  Even so, continue to maintain vigilance especially for St. Helen, Etna, & Vesuvius through to July 2005.

 

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 (sunspots = 79 as of May 3) and should be up and down often for the next 50 days while a new sequence of planetary alignments culminate near the Summer Solstice to produce a major spike in solar activity during the second and third weeks of June.  No major disturbances are expected by any source for at least the next few days but the Sun managed a spectacular coronal mass ejection two days ago which should not be missed (see below under Solar Activity). Weather patterns should receive another round of energization during the next week and then normalize into Spring syndrome by the last half of May and early June.  Seismic activity was muted in magnitude and frequency world wide with only one quake 6.0 in mag or above.  Six shape-shifters struck in the Great Rifts of the ocean bottoms, perhaps signalling a settling down of the adjustments for the Indo-Trench rupture on December 25, 2005.  World volcanism decreased by approximately 20% during the past 10 days and most of the current activity is just barely "slow cooking" in some 25 volcanoes which are emitting small amounts of gas and ash, but very little lava, if any.  More probable than not, NO El Nino for this year.  The movement of the Earth's crust relative to the North Spin Axis – Chandler's Wobble – HAS SORT OF NORMALIZED.  The danger period is probably gone but continue to watch the tea leaves of sudden tectonic rupture on the North American West Coast.  And watch the volcanoes – another surge in world volcanism IS STILL LIKELY worldwide to increase by July during the next three months.  Many surprises may be in store for this year.

 

On the geopolitical front, as previously observed (nothing much new this week) Kookiness has seized complete control of Washington DC, but this only puts the coming tragi-farce of the American political meltdown 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, and Putin is bidding to create an Eurasian peace process for the Mid East, the U.S. be damned.  Meanwhile, 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 AT peak.  EVERY WHERE BEARS RULE AND BULLS ARE IN RETREAT, the DJIA will not crack 11,000 DJIA and appears to be already skating towards the big skid for 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

diverting everyone's attention with a never-ending stream of completely irrelevant did-he-do-it soap operas while the plutocrats continue to steal all sensibility from Planet Earth - all domestic programs and regulations are being bludgeoned and blackjacked daily in the alleys of Washington DC by the plutocrats and their agents while a super-sized IMPERIAL BONUS in being prepared for the American People:  PLANS STILL APPEAR TO BE 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.  And so it goes.  YOU WILL NEED TO WHINE MUCH LOUDER lest you soon be floating in a sea of oil you can no longer afford to buy because a couple million conscripted Central Americans are 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.

COMING 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.

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 May 4, 2005:

 

All economic and political conditions continue to deteriorate at an accelerating rate. The Bush Administration has little support for any of its initiatives and Washington DC appears to be sinking into a paralysis of collective incompetence. Internationally the war/peace situation continues to improve.  Iraq may now begin to stabilize under Shi'a leadership unless disrupted by CIA machinations and it is increasingly unlikely that the Imperial Faction can consolidate enough support to mount attacks against Iran and Syria.  If so, the Petro-Dollar will progressively decline in value in a gradual let-down during the next year, perhaps by another 10% relative to the Euro and perhaps by another 20% relative to oil.

 

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.

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.

Scroll down the page until you get to the black and white graphs with show the x and y coordinates of the North Spin Axis on two separate graphs.

 

BREAKING NEWS:

 

The deviation in the time dimension of the Earth's spiral wobble track continues.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED:

 

Polar motion X Plot now showing perhaps as much as 20% deviation in the time dimension.  A similar deviation is obvious also in the Y Plot.  This may show up as a substantial increase in the rate of the drift of the North Spin Axis.  Possibly, the average location may be seen to "drift" more rapidly during this "closing phase" of the 6.5 year spiral cycle, more rapidly than the preceding 6.5 year cycle.

 

This is most likely the engine in the acceleration of both

the earth changes, global warming, and the related weather/climate disruptions

 

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

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

 

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:

 

 (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."

TODAY’S MOON

 

We are in Lunation #1018 and we are now 26 days past the New Moon of April 8 (UTC), the Moon this day is nearly dead center over the Equator approaching from its South Node (South of the Equator).  It is now approximately 374,608 KM from the Earth. It is 11% of the Full Moon (visibility or phase) now waxing toward the New Moon of March 10.

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 in the New Moon Syzygy heading towards Lunar Apogee the following week.  Seismic and tectonic activity should not pick up appreciably until about May 21 for the Full Moon and Perigee which follows a few days afterwards.

 

 

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  

 

 

(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 May 1, 2005

 

 

From January through to June 2005,  one more period stands 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

 

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.

NASA REPORTS "METEOR SHOWER: Earth is about to pass through a stream of dust trailing Halley's Comet, producing a mild but beautiful shower of meteors called the eta Aquarids. When should you look? The shower's peak spans May 5th and 6th--so try the hours before dawn on both dates. [full story]

NASA SUGGESTS MARS: If you wake up early to look for eta Aquarid meteors, you'll also see the bright planet Mars. [sky maps: north, south]

To follow the numbers below, click here to view the Solar Cycle 23 Chart. Or, get the data in a NOAA Table.

 

AS OF MAY DAY 4: THE SUNSPOT COUNT IS RISING THROUGH 79 as of May 3, 2005, most likely as a result of the Mercury | Mars just past and the upcoming Mercury | Neptune alignments.  The Flux Index was plateaued at 112, suggesting that the Sunspots are not likely to rise much higher.

 

The Sunspot Count bounced up and down between 45 and 79 all last week.

 

Date      Sunspots  Flux  Total Area

2005 04 27   95     45      770    

2005 04 28   98     71     1060

2005 05 02  112     55      970    

2005 05 03  112     79     1040     

 

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 was projected to be some 24 and in fact produced 24.8 average sunspots. April came in at 24.4

 

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 picked up somewhat this last week and hurled a major explosive, flare-like CME on May 3 out on the backside of the Sun (away from the Earth).  NASA REPORTS:  "SOLAR BLAST: This morning, just on the other side of the sun's eastern limb, something exploded. The blast hurled a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) into space, but probably not toward Earth…

 

NASA published a spectacular photo of the CME racing away from the Sun on May 3rd at 0130 UT.  20050503_spectacular_cme.gif

 

Only a few minor disturbances are expected during the next several days.  

 

The Solar Wind was very modest at: 362.6 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) was close to flat line for nearly most of the past 36 hours (as of this time, about 2 PM Mountain time US).

 

AURORA WATCH: NASA:  " A solar wind stream is expected to blow past Earth on May 9th or 10th. The last time this happened, on May 1st, auroras appeared in Alaska bright enough to shine through the glow of the midnight sun."

 

NASA PREDICTS:   "Earth is exiting a solar wind stream flowing from…a…coronal hole."  "Earth will enter a solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal hole on May 9th or 10th."  Solar Flares: Probabilities for a medium-sized (M-class) or a major (X-class) solar flare during the next 24/48 hours are: 1-30%.  Geomagnetic Storms: Probabilities for significant disturbances in Earth's magnetic field are 1-15%.

 

Jan Alvestad reports:  "The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled on May 3. Solar wind speed ranged between 431 and 563 km/sec.  Solar flux measured at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz was 112.3. The planetary A index was 10 (STAR Ap - based on the mean of three hour interval ap indices: 9.8)…At midnight there were 3 spotted regions on the visible solar disk. The solar flare activity level was low. A total of 1 C class event was recorded during the day…Considerable large scale reshaping of the corona to the south of region 10756 was observed late on April 30 and early on May 1…A full halo CME was observed in LASCO C3 images beginning at 06:18 UTC. There was no significant activity on the visible disk during the hours just before this observation and the origin of the CME was likely backsided, possibly with the same origin as the CMEs observed on April 30 and May 1. A large and bright CME was observed over most of the eastern limb late in the day and early on May 3."

 

Jan Alvestad predicts:  " A recurrent coronal hole (CH163) in the northern hemisphere will likely rotate to an Earth facing position on May 6-7. The geomagnetic field is expected be quiet to unsettled on May 4-6."  Alvestad also predicts for the next 24 hours a 0-20% probability of coronal holes, a 0-20% 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.

 

In General:  All conditions are moderating in most of the Northern Hemisphere, even if nothing in the climate regimes are normal anymore. The remainder of April and all of May should bring milder and "springier" weather.

 

BUT – HEAVY QUALIFICATION: The spike in Sunspots this past week up through today will tweak the atmosphere and add some energy into the Weather Fronts.  Expect some  scattered storms this next ten days.

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.

 

NO NEW NEWS.  The wild flowers are still rioting raucously in the Southwest.

 

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.

 

The past 200 days have clearly broken the drought pattern of the past four years.  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:

 

As of April 17 on the NOAA animated graphs of sea surface temperature along the Pacific Ocean Equatorial Band, there is currently no trend visible for El Nino or La Nina.

 

But a curious little patch of warmer than normal water along the Coast of Equator, exactly straddling the Equator, about the size of the Greater Los Angeles Metroplex from Santa Monica to Palm Springs,  appears to be the hottest patch of water in the Pacific Ocean as of mid April. This, as previously pointed out, is almost exactly 180 degrees opposite the location of the beginning of the Indo Trench Rupture on December 25.

 

We may be seeing the telltale sign of an upsurge in underwater volcanism just offshore of Ecuador. This may be part of an "equal and opposite reaction" in the shape shifting of the Earth, as previously discussed. 

 

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED:

 

As of April 17, 2005, no trends, no anomalies are apparent in the chart of ocean surface water temperatures in the Pacific. 

 

MORE PROBABLE THAN NOT, NO El Nino OR La Nina this year.

 

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.

 

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 WAS 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.

IONIZING SOLAR ACTIVITY & MASS BEHAVIOR

 

BREAKING NEWS

 

All emotional conditions now rising.  Mass Behavior is becoming more random, stagecrafting is weak and ineffectual.

 

FOR THE NEXT PERIOD

 

In general, with the falling count of the average monthly 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….

 

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

 

 

CONFIRMATION OF DISCUSSION BELOW:  THE ARMED FORCES ARE CONSISTLY FAILING TO MEET THEIR RECRUITMENT GOALS.  A SHORTAGE OF U.S. SOLDIERS IS MOUNTING RAPIDLY.  THIS SHORTAGE WILL BE THE NEXT MAJOR U.S. MILITARY SECURITY CRISIS.

 

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, SOMEWHAT THE SAME AS DURING THE PRIOR SEVEN DAY WEEK.  Once again, USGS databases did not record any 6.0 or greater quakes. The frequency was at typical non-syzygy rate and the quakes were widely distributed and randomized, with the continued exception of the Northwest edge of Sumatra Island.

 

As usual the Northern edge of the Australian Tectonic Plate (from Sumatra and the Nicobars to New Zealand) accounted for the largest portion of all tectonic activity above 2.5

 

There were at least 6 shape-shifter quakes during the past seven days  in the range of 4.5 to 5.2 in magnitude, down both in frequency and magnitude from the previous week.

 

Tectonic activity is clearly falling off in regard to seismic activity and most likely in regard to volcanism as well.

 

Thus, I AM NOT NEARLY SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE ISSUE OF A MAJOR TECTONIC RUPTURE ON THE NORTH AMERICAN WEST COAST THIS YEAR.  I RAISED THE ISSUE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BUT I THINK THAT THIS PREDICTED EVENT, ALONG WITH AN EXPLOSIVE ERUPTION OF EL POPO, IS NOT LIKELY THIS YEAR.  MORE LIKELY DURING ONE OF THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. 

 

Nonetheless, I am still very concerned that the earth is "cocking the trigger" 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

 

The Earth is still slowly adjusting its "tectonic skin"  as a result of the Indo-Trench Rupture which began on December 25, 2004.  Although the activity related to the rupture is now dwindling rapidly, over a thousand quakes above 5.0 in that zone during the past four months are forcing changes in the shape of Earth in all quadrants.

 

This past seven days, there were at least 6 shape-shifter quakes  in the range of 4.5 to 5.2 in magnitude: one in the Northern Mid-Atlantic, two in the Indian Ocean, and three in the South Sandwich Islands in a strange quadruple junction zone between Atlantic tectonic plates and the edge of the Antarctic Tectonic Plate.

 

This is almost certainly connected with underwater volcanism.   At 55 kilometers in depth beneath the oceanic lithosphere, these shape-shifters in the South Sandwich Islands are deeply rifting the flowing plastic portion of the upper mantle. 

 

Given the strong activity in this area during the past 12 months, this is a strong candidate for a major tectonic rupture similar to the upheavals along Sumatra. 

 

Interestingly enough, this site is on a squared relationship with the other most active areas.  The quake locus in the South Sandwich Islands was nearly 45 degrees from the Longitudes of both the coast of Ecuador and Sardinia., almost exactly halfway between the Sardinia Line and the Ecuadorian Line.

 

WEEK’S MOST SIGNIFICANT QUAKES

 

No significant focal point of activity this past seven 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 was at low levels about the same as last week overall for quakes in the range of 1.0 and up.  Levels were typical for a non-syzergy period.

 

US & ALASKA & ISLANDS  --- 600

down from 635 last week

 

BIG ISLAND HAWAII (not including microswarms) ---  8

down from 11 last week.

 

CALIFORNIANEVADA  ---  331

low level widely scattered in California and Nevada;

 

LONG VALLEY - MONO LAKE REGION – 22

down from 27 last week

typical level widely scattered

predominantly Mammoth Lakes

 

Utah – 28

up from 22 last week

 

PNW --- 266

up from 180 last week.

still high level, widely scattered but dominated 90% by St. Helens activity –245 mostly for St. Helens, up from 159 last week.

 

YELLOWSTONE 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 magnitude.  For Yellowstone Quake Chart, CLICK HERE.

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".

 

 

OBSERVABLE WORLD VOLCANIC ACTIVITY INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY DURING MARCH AND APRIL, AS PREDICTED – by nearly 45%.  BUT, like last week, VOLCANIC ACTIVITY IN THE ACTIVE VOLCANOES DURING THE PAST 45 DAYS IS AT A RELATIVELY LOW EBB.  A decrease in activity, perhaps by as much as 20% during the past 14 days has likely occurred.

 

As with seismic activity, a pickup in activity is likely during the last week in May.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED:

 

Most of the active volcanoes are doing LITTLE more than lazily puff out steam and very small amounts of ash once in a while.  Very little lava flow is being expressed.

 

MORE OR LESS, ST. HELENS IS NOW DIRECTLY MIRRORING FOUR SIMILAR VOLCANOES ON THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA.  At the moment it is emitting small amounts of gas and ash while it slowly builds up the top of its central lava dome. 

 

Low level ash and steam emissions are continuing all around the Pacific Rim on all continents. 

 

Another major flare up in activity will probably come during the next 145 days and then slowly ebb away to a low point by the end of the year.

 

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

Wednesday, May 4, 2005 10:15 a.m. PDT (1715 UTC)

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, changes in the level of activity can occur over days to months. The eruption could 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 northeastward.

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 travel 100 miles or more downwind.

Recent observations: Yesterday’s good weather allowed field crews to obtain thermal and visual observations of the growing lava dome and to resurvey some targets that were placed on the dome two weeks ago. All data suggest that lava extrusion continues at a rate similar to that of recent months, even though the rate of seismic activity has declined somewhat over the past few weeks. We infer that this is the result of the recent breakup of the long whaleback-shaped spine that was being pushed southward and upward by extruding lava since late January. Under current conditions, the extruding lava is beginning to form a new, but much smaller, whaleback-shaped spine that is evidently easier to push. Therefore the accompanying seismicity is much less intense.

OTHER CASCADE VOLCANOES as of May Day 4 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 May Day 4 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)

 

49 alert list – up from 48  last week (alert list are volcanoes with pre-cursor activities suggesting that activity may begin)

 

25 on active list (seismic, gas, steam, lava, ash, or explosive activity) (down from 30 as of last week).

 

A few of these on the active list are showing very little activity as of this date.

 

Popo gave an 8 puff day yesterday.  Centrapred reports for May Day 4 (17:00 GMT) that " During the last 24 hours, the monitoring system of Popocatépetl volcano registered 8 exhalations, accompanied mainly by steam and gas. Since yesterday the volcano has shown a light steam and gas emission.  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. The traffic light of volcanic alert is in YELLOW-1. Access is restricted in a radius of 12 km from the crater. The road between Santiago Xalitzintla (Puebla) and San Pedro Nexapa (Mexico State), including Paso de Cortés, is open to controlled traffic. However, it is not permitted to remain within the 12 Km restricted area."

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.

Heads Roll at Veterans Administration

Mushrooming Depleted Uranium Scandal Blamed

 

 

by Bob Nichols

Project Censored Award Winner

'Depleted

 

Considering the tons of depleted uranium used by the U.S., the Iraq War can truly be called a nuclear war.

 

Monday, February 28, 2005 -- Preventive Psychiatry E-Newsletter charged today that the reason Veterans Affairs Secretary Anthony Principi stepped down earlier this month was the growing scandal surrounding the use of uranium munitions in the Iraq War.

 

Writing in Preventive Psychiatry E-Newsletter No. 169, Arthur N. Bernklau, executive director of Veterans for Constitutional Law in New York, stated, "The real reason for Mr. Principi's departure was never given.  However, a special report published by eminent scientist Leuren Moret naming Depleted Uranium (DU) as the definitive cause of the Gulf War Syndrome has fed a growing scandal about the continued use of uranium munitions by the US military."

 

"The VA Secretary (Principi) was aware of this fact as far back as 2000," wrote Bernklau.  "He and the Bush administration have been hiding these facts, but now, thanks to Moret’s report, it is far too big to hide or cover up.  The long-term effects have revealed that DU (uranium oxide) is a virtual death sentence."

 

Bernklau continues, "This malady from uranium munitions, from which thousands of our military have suffered and died, has finally been identified as the cause of this sickness, eliminating the guessing.  The terrible truth is now being revealed."

 

He adds, "Out of the 580,400 soldiers who served in the first Gulf War, 11,000 are now dead.  By the year 2000, 325,000 were on permanent medical disability.  This astounding number of disabled vets means that a decade later, 56 percent of those soldiers who served have some form of permanent medical problem."

 

The disability rate for most of the wars of the last century was 5 percent;  and it was higher for the Vietnam War at 10 percent.

 

Terry Jamison, Public Affairs Specialist at the Department of Veterans Affairs, recently reported that since 1991, 518,739 Gulf Era veterans are now on medical disability.

 

Marion Fulk, a nuclear physical chemist who retired from the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab and was involved with the Manhattan Project, interprets the new and rapid malignancies in the soldiers from the 2003 Iraq War as "spectacular ... and a matter of concern."

 

When asked if the main purpose of using DU was for "destroying things and killing people," Fulk was more specific.  "I would say it is the perfect weapon for killing lots of people."

Weather Modification: as previously observed

 

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?

 

HOPEFULLY THE DU CONTROVERSY WILL BREAK THE LOGJAM

 

In the meantime, 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.  Like Votescam 2004, the clear evidence of a military intelligence corps which is out of control and half off its rockers should be big news, not to mention the growing international interest in pulling down Rumsfeld with indictments to eat his own words.

 

But very little is manifesting in actual dynamics of change.

 

Except this:  through the Iway the web of connections is being spun in greater and greater detail, in better and better fidelity and precision.  It is ONLY through the Iway that the web of corruption is going to be fully spun. I think it is well worth the spinning, eventually events will conspire to bring Humpty Dumpty into question.  If their wicked web has been reasonably spun out into completion, suddenly it will have the strength of a rope, with the power to hang Humpty Dumpty, or pull him down from the Wall.

 

BUT AS OBSERVED LAST YEAR.  The auguries are not clear to me this past two weeks on how any of this is going, or even if any of this IS going anywhere during the next several months.  If none of this goes anywhere, take it as a given, take it as a fact, that all is lost on the Republic and we have passed into in the deep twilight zone of a Fascist nightmare for which there may not be any electoral remedy…at least not while we are mired within the deep sorcery which the  Mass Broadcast Media now casts in greater depth all around us.  It is as if after the elections they turned up the volume of manipulation by at least a half turn of the knob.

 

Despite impeccable scientific reasoning, high caliber informed observers and investigators, the story of the stolen elections simply will not be told in America through the corporatized media.  By their acts, said the good saint, ye shall know them.  Doubtless, we are in very deep doodoo and, with few exceptions, the only things allowed on TV are a bunch of chickens clucking through the mire.

 

 

 

 

 

ECONOMY WATCH 

 

Little change from past weeks.

 

All conditions continue to deteriorate.  Bears predominate and are found strolling everywhere, waiting in anticipation.  Bulls are hard to find.

 

New York investors and bankers are so desperate for good news, they create a rally in the stock market a day after hearing that a major plutocrat by the name of Kerkorian is angling to take over some control of General Motors, which has almost completely failed with 9 out of 10 models in designing autos which people really want.

 

A vast inflation is setting in, there is no escape.  ALL SIGNALS MIXED, THE ECONOMY IS "WOBBLING" WITH VERY LITTLE "GOOD NEWS" OR HOPES. As throughout most of 2004, there are still no signs of a general recovery of the classic 20th century kind.  MOST COMMENTARY AND EXPECTATIONS ARE PESSIMISTIC FOR 2005.  The most optimistic projections appear to be in the nature of "holding" firm with small improvements.  The worst expectations are dire indeed.

 

I predict that most of the expectations will turn sour after May or June.  I also predict that they will become more and more morose as the economy begins to show a rapid movement into recession during the later part of the year and then clearly moves into depression in 2006.

 

STAGFLATION IS BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR A CONSIDERABLE RISE DURING 2005. 

 

COMMODITY PRICES WILL CLIMB RAPIDLY DURING 2005 TO CATCH UP WITH THE HUGE INCREASE IN ENERGY COSTS (UP SOME 30% THIS YEAR).

 

AND, OIL IS RISING FURTHER FASTER, WHICH WILL STRETCH ALL PATIENCE.  This will generate a pernicious inflation in NORTH AMERICA.

 

The economy will never regain any sense of confidence in government efforts to build the basis for more solid growth.  The Bush administration will continue to lose credibility, will come under severe legal pressure from wide ranging indictments, perhaps even impeachment proceedings (long overdue), and this gathering loss of political confidence will destroy corporate confidence.

 

This loss of confidence may be experienced first in Europe and Japan, even China, which may bring the recessionary pressures home to the U.S. with a rapid decline in demand for American products and a shrinking profit base for American companies overseas.

 

AS OBSERVED IN DECEMBER:  With the re-election of George Bush a completely new scenario for the next two years is needed. It is this:  the main driving force of the economy will transition fully into an Imperial economy.  It will be based on major militarization of the U.S. to AMP up Empire Building for general export.  We may be as in Germany as in approximately 1934-6.  During the 1930’s, while much of the world was mired in a deep depression, Germany, Italy, and Japan under the Fascists (Corporate National Plutocracy) prospered in a wave of tremendous prosperity for their workers.  The Fascists terminated all external debt to the international banks and recycled their currencies highly astutely without the need to finance debt.  That is why Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese Militarists were so fervently supported.

 

A massive empire building drive to export "Order" over the greater portion of the world’s petroleum reserves will shore up the value of the petro dollar quite nicely and preserve its hegemony well through the "peak oil" period.  Huge expenditures on armaments should provide a continuing stimulus of the North American economy, enough to at least keep it gimping along while the Empire is consolidated.

 

The eventual eclipse of well oil poses no long term problem.  Only naïve analysts are worried.  Once oil supply is seriously declining and oil prices can be maintained above $80/barrel, some people in the oil industry, including David Rockefeller, understand the means of "growing" your own.  They have held the secrets of this for some 23 years.

 

THE ONLY BUMP ON THE ROAD TO THE IMPERIAL ECONOMY is "global warming".  This is bringing people into other solutions than the use of oil.  Is this not a course of development the cabals of great wealth in America must resist as strongly as they can?  If this is correct, we would expect that a great political struggle will be waged on both sides of this global warming issue.  We should expect to see that the Republicrats will resist encouraging a replacement for oil to the very bitter end.  Without dominance over oil, their feudalized world will dissolve away from them.

 

 

 

GENERAL PREDICTION DJI AVERAGES

 

The high point was near 10,811 in March and I believe THAT was the high point.  I believe that it is all downslide from here.

 

THIS WEEK

 

The DJI finished May Day 4 at 10,384.64.  This is not likely to be sustained with any upward push which lasts longer than a few days. 

 

DON’T PLAN ON ANYTHING HIGHER THIS YEAR

 

 

AS OBSERVED DURING 2004:  WATCH THIS VERY CAREFULLY – WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE PRIMARY FACTOR DRIVING OIL UP IN PRICE AND ACCELERATING THE DECLINE IN THE DOLLAR.  The dollar of course is a major factor.  As the dollar drops AND the stock values remain constant, U.S. stocks will become suddenly cheaper for foreign investors and they may begin to convert to buy U.S. stocks.  This also will firm up values when it occurs, but I have no idea where the conversion points are.  This is all a complex equation which could go sideways at any moment.  THE MAIN PROVISO IS AL QAEDA. IF AND When they strike in the U.S. again, they will trump all else.

 

MAIN OVER-RIDING STRATEGIC VARIABLE:  For the players, what the Bush administration will and will not do is beginning to become more and more set.  This allows others to make their bets on the outcomes, pro and con.

 

WORLD CONFIDENCE MAY IMPROVE FOR A WHILE if a Shiite coalition can take power in Iraq through the elections and motivate Bush to substantially withdraw American troops.

 

 

EURO WATCH    - DOLLAR VALUE SOFT AGAINST EURO - IT WILL WEAKEN WITH RENEWED OIL PRICE INCREASES

 

The dollar closed today at 0.7725 per euro, which is virtually the same as last year and is stronger than most of this year so far.  This, even despite the higher oil prices and lower stock prices. This situation is of course highly volatile.  In general, stock and dollar will trend down as oil trends up.

 

Interesting article on current dynamics of currency markets

http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/050119/markets_forex_8.html

Did you know that corporations have a special "deal" this year which allows them to repatriate billions of dollars in foreign profits by paying a surcharge of only $.05 per dollar in lieu of the regular 35% tax rate.

 

Thus in general, expect a steady if slow creep of prices upward all through 2005, with faster relative increases for some basic commodities and imports to reflect rapidly rising international costs, which will still accelerate in response to the rise in energy costs this past six months.

 

MUST READ:  "The Dollar Panics" in "The Coming Economic Collapse of 2006", which lays out the dynamics of what is happening.

 

 

LATEST OVERVIEW ON OIL: As of February 2, 2005

 

The high price points at the pump established last Fall look permanent.  It does not look like retail prices will ever again be South of where they currently are.  We are going to have a pretty vigorous STAGFLATION for 2005 and average wholesale prices are likely to continue an upward drift, somewhere in the range of 10% to 30%, with transitory peaks in the range of last year’s $55.  Perhaps even higher, if the oil industry is disrupted by Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups. 

 

HIGH PRICE PRESSURES CAN NO LONGER BE RESISTED BECAUSE ALL OF THE WORLD POLITICAL STRUGGLES ARE NOW POLARIZING AROUND THE STRUGGLE FOR OIL.  Oil has become in the minds of all those seeking power as THE ONLY SOURCE OF POWER in the world today.

 

PREDICTED IN FEBRUARY 2005:  HERE IS THE ARCHILLES HEEL OF EMPIRE:  It seems more probable than not, reading the tea leaves and listening to Seymour Hersh and other internationalists, that the main irrational and "upsetting factor" in the world at this juncture is the aggressive plan which the Imperial Faction would like to pursue in Iran.  Any effort to beat the war drums in that direction will unify the Eurasian powers to "clip the wings" of the Empire.  They will do it with a concerted program to push down the value of the dollar sufficient to swamp the U.S. economy in such high international costs that it will not be able to sustain an expansionary war effort.  They will accomplish this feat by stopping their purchase of U.S. banking debt and bond instruments.  Under these circumstances, oil prices in dollar terms could double while they remain the same in euro terms.

 

ALL THIS IS ON COURSE AS OF APRIL 27.  Putin is clearly making a major effort to create an Eurasian Grand Alliance to work in parallel with the growing alliance between Iran and Venezuela-Ecuador.  The Petro Dollar will not survive the Bush Administration and American Hegemony will be "surrounded" more and more by a unified wall of world opinion.

JOB WATCH

 

Any aspect of the construction and home products industry is hot.

 

 

 

SIGN OF THE TIMES: Ken Lay, who is now widely described as the biggest corporate swindler of all time, is still scott free. (ONE OF THE WORST ECONOMIC TERRORISTS OF ALL TIME).  But now finally after waiting for two or so years, Lay has been indicted.  Notice the timing, near the end of the first term of the Bush Administration. At this time I will hazard the guess that he will be pardoned by Bush during the final days of his administration, probably December of this year.  ANOTHER NEARLY EQUAL SIGN OF THE TIMES:  The lawyers who have been settling the Enron collapse for all parties, are billing the remaining net assets of Enron for approximately $1 billion for their services.  This is a new heavenly-ordained definition for the term Chutzpah.  I CALL IT CLASS ECONOMIC TERRORISM.

 

POLITICAL WATCH

For general overview on the Tragedy in Iraq and the Bureau-Political Civil War in Washington DC, I highly recommend Tom Dispatch.

 

 

THE WHOLE SCENE  GROWS MORE SURREAL WITH EACH WEEK:  A STRANGE SORT OF "AMELICAN GRAFFITI" SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN OVER EVERYTHING.

 

AS OBSERVED IN PREVIOUS WEEKS:  The Faux-Centrists will finish digging their grave this year just in time to be dumped in by the political convulsions which will begin in 2006 and split both political parties into warring splinters. Meanwhile, as a result of the incompetence of the Imperial Faction and the moral vacuum of the Mass Broadcast Media, the balance of the current American fate STILL lies in the hands of those in the Mid-East.  If their will is strong enough, the will of the Iraqi people to create peace among themselves, the Americans will be able to extricate themselves from what has always been a completely untenable condition.  Let us hope the same is true with the Lebanese people. With such a deluded national leadership in control of the U.S. government and mass media organizations, our future is in THE HANDS OF STRANGERS IN THE MIDEAST. THEIR WILL FOR PEACE IS OUR ONLY SALVATION.

 

 

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED: 

 

Seymour Hersch's article in the New Yorker outlines the Imperial Faction's current thinking for stirring the pot of the Mid-East into a vast cauldron of violence, war, and Imperial expeditions.

 

It seems to devolve to this.  Shock and awe and G.I. Joe didn't work for saving Iraq?  Too expensive to go into Iran? Skip the soldiers and forget about saving the country, we can just bomb them and cripple them into oblivion instead.  We will manipulate the factions from remote locations the old fashioned way, just like we have been doing and practicing for the past several decades.

 

 Why does the base concept sound terribly much like a carbon copy of Israel's strategy for dealing with its Palestinian "Indians"?

 

With this article, Seymour indelicately informs us that we have a terrible problem on our hands.  The Empire is expanding as rapidly as it can this next four years and they are not kidding.  By Summer the gloves will start coming off.

 

Many in Eurasia are now saying that the U.S. is as authoritarian as Iran and far more dangerously capricious.

 

This is not an argument that Bush and his Empire can win.  There is also no possibility of a successful invasion or a strategic win by the U.S.  Iran is too big, too many, too well armed, too well supported by its population, and too totally determined not to kowtow to the CIA Masters who made them suffer the tyranny of the bogus Shah.

 

The Shah of Iran, the CIA's very own stooge for the American Oil Industry, was as nasty and violent a thug who ever ruled a colonial outpost. His demise had nothing to do with religion. He, we, have not been forgiven, nor should we.

 

It is true that the U.S. government is controlled by men with strong tendencies to lunacy.  Thus there is a terrible danger of miscalculation by the Imperial Faction.  The savory blood of Fascism runs hot in many veins on the Eastern Seaboard, there are many who crave to impose dominance and humiliation over more independently-minded  people to "win" the world for their "gang's" sense of "freedom".

 

But their time is running out for an attack on Iran, the cosmic tide is leaving that boat high and dry in the bay, unable to sail.  It will become more and more difficult to enflame mass consciousness towards war as the Sunspot Cycle troughs into its MIN.

 

The Iranians have shown a methodical, disciplined, progressive approach to reasoning their way out and around the boxes imposed by Western imperializing forces.  They have found much success in establishing relationships with other nations.  They are likely to continue in this mode and practice the art of "what is possible" to avoid violent conflagration.  If they are careful and methodical enough, they will outflank the Imperial Faction and simply wait it out

 

FOR 2005 & BEYOND

 

More probable than not....another four years of political struggle, bitterness, the loss of more political and individual rights, continued declassing and economic deterioration, and a growing general civil upheaval which takes many forms…in the midst of a nation which is virtually ostracized from most of the remainder of the world…with the forces of Jihad reaching greater ascendancy in the Middle-East.

 

 

 

 

A new media now arrives, floating down the river Iway, and with it comes a new consciousness of the world and the lies which have driven so much of the past 50 years….

 

From this, the future will arise as the old world slowly collapses.

 

All else is fluid, in transition. Thank God Almighty!

 

 

THE STRATEGIC SITUATIONFinal Synopsis
For predictions related to the mess in Palestine, the Middle East, and the Bush political era.

 

AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED

 

For the first time in nearly a year we can see a changing of the strategic conditions of the age. 

 

 It rests on six realities:

 

1.       In the dark background, Al Qaeda could to be a spent, dying force. It does NOT SEEM to have flourished well in hidden places.  It has not delivered on its promises for over a year.  Is it a spent force? Or is it preparing a new round?  With the circumstances in Iraq distracting the Bull, perhaps it has tightly consolidated its resources and operatives towards another target.  With the U.S. Bull full engaged and tripping all over itself in the international arena, there is little point in striking inside the U.S. The Americans have already sold their souls to Hitler II and can be counted upon to waste huge sums of money.  What is the point of wasting more energy in that direction?  Osama Bin Laden's true target was and remains the take over of Saudi Arabia.  Is this his next phase?  Likely this will not be fully understood and this is most likely Osama Bin Laden's most important tactical win of the last year.  He is more inscrutable than ever.  But he clearly lost as well.  The insurgency failed and other forces will now assume power and move the U.S. out. His influence in Iraq will wane.

2.       The Iraqi insurgent's opposition to the elections was a catastrophic failure.  At the moment, it is terminal for their movement. The elections clearly reveal a massive swing of popular opinion against the diktat of the insurgents.  The insurgents are now clearly revealed to be in opposition to real democracy and the greater portion of the people in Iraq.  The new assembly makes their "movement" technically moot. The real Iraqi movement will then become focused on taking up enough real operational power to begin displacing the Americans. In the face of this, the Sunni tribes cannot hold an insurgent coalition together.  They will come around one by one and make their arrangements with the newly emerging power structure. Time for Al Qaeda and the carpet bagging terrorist Al Zarqawi to move on down the road.

3.       The American Bull is currently focused on Iran and Syria and the reign of agitprop lies has already become thick. At all nominal levels, the American public is stupefied and it will not be enlightened by the "legal" intelligence community about what is really going on.  "Twouldn't be prudent", one can imagine overhearing from the mouth of one of the most notoriously sinister figures in the history of North America, "Poppy Bones". Under this cover, the Zionist wing of the Imperial Faction will seek frantically for schemes and support to ferret out the destruction of Iran's war machine.

4.       North Korea has South Korea and five million people hostage, even without the Bomb.  This probably makes Japan hostage, even already.  THIS IS A STRATEGIC STALEMATE WHICH CANNOT BE EASILY BROKEN. An assault on North Korea, even a stealthy one aimed at just the bomb, will almost certainly result in the annihilation of five million people just through conventional armaments.  No leader anywhere can afford to issue an order for an assault to prevent the use of the Bomb. That is why Bush backed off and why they are still "backed off".  The moral choices involved are far deeper than the limited mental abilities of the Imperial Faction.

5.       Between North Korea and Pakistan, it is not likely that Iran will remain without the bomb.  Iran has huge amounts of legal money and large supplies of energy. All they need are three of them.  One for the nearest Aircraft Carrier Armada.  One for Tel Aviv, and one for a suitcase.   Pakistan and North Korea have little of either energy or money….

6.       With money and oil, all things are possible. This is NOT a condition which favors the U.S. Every attempt to break it will make it worse.

 

 

HERE IS THE MAIN HOPE OUT OF THIS STRATEGIC IMPASSE:

 

LEAVE IRAQ AND ABANDON THE EMPIRE.  WE CANNOT RESOLVE THE INTERNATIONAL IMPASSE AND IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DO SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME.  The Empire is inimical to the American people and every day it exists their collective impoverishment deepens.

 

AN AUTHENTIC ISLAMIC MORAL AUTHORITY IS ARISING AND IS BEGINNING TO FORGE A COALITION TO UNIFY IRAQ AND BRING CIRCUMSTANCES TO THE POINT WHERE THE AMERICANS CAN BE ASKED TO LEAVE.  QUICKLY. 

 

MORE PROBABLE THAN NOT, THE MULLAHS WILL ARRANGE THE ELECTION OF A GOVERNMENT WHICH ASSERTS ITS SOVEREIGNTY AND ASKS THE U.S. TO LEAVE WITHIN THE YEAR.

 

PASS THE WORD: THIS IS HOW IT WILL END IN IRAQ,
