I was just reading up on this and the thought occurred to me that it is not likely to be the sole cause.  Think about the EMF radiation from cell towers, pesticides/GMOs, secret government testing, HAARP, polluted water, climate extremes like extreme heat and lack of water, jet stream wandering, and what about chemtrails? Here's a video of the chemtrailing going on right before 12/31/2010:  Chemtrails in Okla and Ark before massive fish and bird deaths .

It seems somewhere in the chain of information, a decision was made that methane was the culprit, but I think with all the other factors in play that methane escaping from earth movements would only be one of many factors.  In addition, consider the radiation that hit Europe from Chernobyl, local leaks, and now the ELE-waiting-to-happen at Fukushima, all the volcanic eruptions spewing ash and toxins into the air, continuing assaults on the magnetosphere, a magnetic pole shift in progress, local disasters like the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and even ET/UFO involvement: 

http://www.unexplainable.net/ufo-alien/pelicans-drop-near-unidentif... 

When flocks of birds die simultaneously and suddenly drop to the ground, could it be they are hitting a cloaked UFO, or its force field?  Of all the theories I've read, this one makes the most sense.  Could fish kills be caused by submerged UFOs?  Either hitting the force field or the UFO itself, or by radiation or other emission from the craft? 

Following this train of thought further, would benevolent ETs allow this to happen?  Could negative ETs that work with the governments be assisting in destroying what they don't need?  Zetatalk pushes the methane theory heavily, and it is highly suspected they work with the government, and the same ETs.  Makes you go hmmm, doesn't it?

It escalated at the dawn of 2010, so it's been going on for almost four years, so a lot of damage has been done to the world's food supplies.  Could it be the NWO is getting an assist in getting their agenda done, then they double cross the NWO folks and take over.  So, there you go.  I just created a new conspiracy theory.  "Make of it what you will."

You can't blame any person, corporation, or government agency for methane burps due to earth movement or a magnetic pole shift.  But all these other things, well, that's a different story.  Seeing this bigger picture also neuters the climate-change theory that car emissions and cow farts are killing our planet.  No, much, much more is killing our planet.  And behind each one is a responsible party that probably wants to see the methane-burps-coming-from-earth-shifting-killing-birds-and-animals theory promoted vigorously to keep the real culprits in the shadows, well out of sight. 

Here is a link that tracks bird/animal deaths since April 29, 2012:  http://forums.thechaniproject.com/topic/3299-massive-animalmammalbirdfish-deaths-a-record/.  As you can see, this is world-wide, not just in areas that are prone to methane burps.  However, due to the timing (around 11:30 p.m. on New Year's Eve 2010, the Beebe, Arkansas, bird deaths could have been caused by fireworks as the birds showed signs of blunt force trauma.  See, http://phys.org/news/2011-01-wisconsin-lab-blackbird-die-off.html .)  Some of these die-offs do have other causes.  In Australia in 2009, it was pesticides:  http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2009/06/pesticide-causes-mass-bird-death-in.html.  It was posited about the Arkansas bird and fish deaths at the dawn of 2011 that it could be the excess manure in that state from factory farming:  http://underthemountainbunker.com/2011/01/03/could-animal-waste-from-factory-farming-be-the-cause-of-the-massive-bird-fish-deaths-in-arkansas/.  That could make some serious methane. 

This first came to national/world attention with the 5,000 bird die-off in Beebe, Arkansas, on New Year's Eve 2010.  Here are some links to articles prior to the Chani Project list that starts April 29, 2012.  After that date, they probably will overlap.

http://propheciesoftheendtimes.com/exhaustive-and-catastrophic-list-of-bird-fish-mammal-and-reptile-species-die-offs-since-jan-2010/  (since January 2010--this is a good list because it breaks it down by country)

http://www.mysterium.com/extinction.html  (Mass extinctions were confirmed in the year 2000.  So, it seems that this process of die-offs have been going on longer than frequently shifting earth and methane burps has been going on.  In 2009, as discovered by me and confirmed by John DiNardo, earth shifting slowed significantly as witnessed in the decline of water mains breaking.  He believes the cause was PX going below Jupiter and out of the direct line of fire towards Earth.  I am noticing very few mass die-offs reported in 2009.)

In 2006, there was a die-off attributed to unusual weather:  http://legacy.utsandiego.com/news/state/20060131-2009-globalwarming-birds.html.

Just some thoughts.  Keep your eyes and minds open.

SANANDA'S SPECIFIC STRATEGIES:
Ascension Time is NOW, Keys to Ascending,
Mastering the Ego, Allowing,  Joining with Others
to Achieve the Higher Realms

=================================================================

We lovingly invite YOU to join our Sananda's Eagle family team and to work with us on our global ***Project: Eagle Triad***  We are looking forward to you emailing: janisel(at)sanandaseagles.com

IT IS TIME!
By Sananda (Lord Jesus the Christ Ascended)
(channeled though the body of Debbie Wright of Sananda's Eagles)
(public channeling)

The energies, during this energetic shift, are marvelous to
‘watch’, but I am sure they are very crunching to endure,
especially when you do not breathe well enough, or drink enough
water, or pray enough, or meditate enough, or allow enough.  I do
wish to say that we are proud of each and every one of you, and I
am including even those that are not in this room.


However, we can tell you, it is time.  It is time to do what you
feel your Creator tells you to do, because the more you fight it
the harder it shall be for you to work and survive within these
energies.  These ARE the times that the prophets of old spoke of.
These ARE the times that all the dreamers have dreamed of.


All we can do is make suggestions to assist you in coping.  We
cannot do it for you, and we understand that for some it shall be
work.  But it is time to face fears, it is time to begin allowance,
it is time to ease control, and it is time to do what needs to be
done...


Some of you...are strong enough to bear the burden.  You’re strong
enough to bear the burden for many, but what are they doing for
you?  For you see, if you feel in turmoil even when you are closest
to God, that turmoil is your soul speaking to you, telling you that
you cannot learn the lessons for all, no matter how badly you want
things to accelerate, no matter how much your heart cries out to go
Home... It is time to concentrate only on your Mission -- with others --
and then YOU and the planet will Ascend together!


=================================================================

=================================================================


"Ascension"
By Sananda (Lord Jesus the Christ Ascended)
(channeled though the body of Debbie Wright of Sananda's Eagles)


We will call this lesson "Ascension". I put a lot of thought into
it to get that. <grin> Ascension is nothing more than the state of
rising. Rising what, you may ask. [One primary way to **rise**in
Ascension is to do your Mission for the Creator.]


You can be climbing a ladder, you can be walking up stairs, you can
be raising your vibration, you can be raising your consciousness,
or you can be 'flying high'. They're all the same. We have given
you the lessons that explain intricacies that have never been
explained fully before.


When you say 'Sananda Teaches Ascension', we ask the question
"What is it that Sananda would really wish for us to truly
understand about Ascension?" I think I can answer that. <grin> So…
we shall make a list, not necessarily in the following order, for
each individual is different. But I will give you the list of the
items that I, personally, find it helpful and beneficial for each
and every one of you to know concerning Ascension.


1.
Strive to master your ego, for it is your ego, in this reality,
that tends to muddle things for you. It is your ego, in this
reality, that tends to hold you back, that tends to make you wish
to 'mirror' all things that are sent to you, instead of allowing
you the opportunity to discern what can be mirrored and what can be
transmuted to be a different reflection of who you are. Egos are
wonderful things once they have been mastered.


2.
Allow. Allow yourself the opportunity to be who you really are. And
at the same time, allow all others that you interact with to be
exactly who THEY truly are… without your interference, that is,
because you would not wish to have their interference for you. If
you allow yourself to be who you truly are, or at least begin that
journey, then it also assists you in seeing the best in others. And
once you can begin seeing the best in others, then naturally they
will begin seeing the best in you… or vice versa.


This, and mastering your ego, are the two truly solitary things for
you to do on the ascension path. All the rest have to do with
becoming one with each other again, assisting each other, and
loving each other. For if you can begin the two on your own, to
master your ego and to allow yourself and others, then your soul
puts out a call to all others. It puts out a call saying, "We have
begun the process… come to us, help us, then we shall help you. You
sing the chorus and I'll sing the melody, or vice versa, depending
on who you are and who I am with you."


One of the hardest lessons for those in this reality to learn is,
you spend most of your lives here striving to be looked at,
striving to be noticed, striving to become 'someone'. And what it's
truly all about is to do this exact same thing but to see who has
the biggest 'group', the biggest choir. We do not encourage anyone
to be the best teacher, to be the best student. We encourage
everyone to be the best at calling out to all the rest, for the
more that you can call into yourself, the quicker this job gets
done.


The ASCENSION of mankind and the ascension of this planet are NOT
acquired by individual progress. That goal shall be accomplished
by… the "team" having the most players shall win. <grin> THAT is
what I wish for all that have learned my lessons to realize...


We love patting each and every one of you on the head… and that is
not meant in a condescending manner… for we love dearly each and
every one of you. We hug you all the time, however we cannot allow
you to feel that energy when we hug you. Some of you get glimpses
because, when we do hug you, it raises your vibration so high that
you just might 'tweak out'. So we can caress, and we can pat, and
we can hug 'unofficially', because we DO understand that this is
not an easy job.


We do understand that, as far as YOUR MISSIONS are concerned,
some of us probably have had a better go of it than some of you.
And for that we are truly thankful. Not because we're thankful it
was not us that had the hard job, it is because we are thankful
that the right person got the hard job. Because that hard job is to
be done by the best, and the best ones here have those jobs. And we
understand that, we acknowledge that. The only ones that do not
truly and fully understand that and acknowledge that are those that
have those jobs. And they pray, and they beg, and sometimes they
stand outside and yell, scream, and holler at us. <grin> But that's
OK… we have it all recorded for you for later. We honestly feel
you'll have a full appreciation of the entertainment value of that
once this mission is over with. <grin> And while we lounge around
on our ships, and we eat our chocolates, and drink our Arnk, <grin>
we have more compassion for you than you'll ever know.


There have been times that some of us have crossed the line
occasionally to make things just a little bit easier for you,
however, we cannot do that without permission. And that permission
is usually given unless there's some sort of contractual snafu in
there that keeps it from being taken care of. But we do wish for
you to understand that for every prayer, or 'beg', or sometimes
vile words that get thrown our way, it is OK because we are doing
the exact same thing for you and with you. However, what gets the
job done is 'perseverance'. And if you can master your ego, and
allow yourself and others, it DOES make it less of a struggle.


Now, I'm going to ask a couple of questions. And I wish for these
questions to be pondered before answering. So it, technically, is
not possible to have you answer these in your classroom unless you
do what we've always encouraged you to do, and that is to read the
lessons beforehand. So I guess we'll know then, won't we? <grin>


a) I have, or have not, begun mastering my ego. Yes or No?
b) I allow myself to begin to see who I truly am. Yes or No?
c) I allow others the opportunity to see and be who they truly are
without interference from me. Yes or No?

Epic Paradigm Shift Poised to Unfold Within US and World Imminently

More information and videos at: http://miraclesandinspiration.com/news_epic-paradigm-shift.html

Uploaded by 9Nania on Jan 11, 2012

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

An unsettling report prepared by Viktor Seleznyov, director of the Geophysical Institute at the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS), on the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the Tyva Republic in Russia’s East Siberia earlier today warns that more seismic activity should be expected within the coming weeks and that this event is part of an ever increasing body of evidence pointing to a “rapid” shifting in our Earth’s magnetic poles.

Director Seleznyov, and other SB RAS scientists, have been increasingly concerned over the past fortnight about this region after the 9 February and 12 February“mysterious blasts” in the Kemerovo Region reminiscent of the 30 June 1908 Tunguska Event that remains the largest explosion of its type in modern times that for over a century has yet to be fully explained.

The “common linkage” between these mysterious explosions and increasing seismic events in Siberia, this report says, is due to the rapid shifting of our Earth’s magnetic North Pole that has doubled in the last 50 years, and in the 1990s “picked up speed in a big way,” bolting north–northwest into the Arctic Ocean at more than 55 kilometers per year.

To the most immediate effect upon our Earth due to this “magnetic pole anomaly,” this report continues, has been the “strange disruption” of the jet stream over the Northern Hemisphere that on the North American side has produced the driest and warmest winter weather in recorded history, but on the European side has causedrecord-setting cold and snow that has claimed over 650 lives. 

Though Director Seleznyov notes in this report that the evidence for a “full scale” geomagnetic reversal of the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south are still being debated, our Earth is, “without a doubt,” currently undergoing a Laschamp-type geomagnetic “event” known as a geomagnetic excursion.

A geomagnetic excursion, like a geomagnetic reversal, is a significant change in the Earth's magnetic field. Unlike reversals however, an excursion does not permanently change the large-scale orientation of the field, but rather represents a dramatic, typically short-lived decrease in field intensity, with a variation in pole orientation of up to 45 degrees from the previous position.

The Laschamp Geomagnetic “Event” noted in this report is interesting on a number of levels due to its having occurred between 7,000-17,000 years ago falling within the working timeframe of: 1.) The flash freezing of Siberia where still today woolly mammoths are still uncovered in near pristine condition, and 2.) The 11 August 3114 BCE start date of the Mayan Calendar that seemingly predicts the year of 2012 will, indeed, experience another such cataclysmic event.

Important to note is that in our 7 January 2011 report “Pole Shift Blamed For Russian Air Disaster, Closure Of US Airport” we had stated the growing concerns of Russian, EU and US officials due to the rapid shifting of our Earth’s magnetic poles that had led the Kremlin to order an additional 5,000 survival shelters built in Moscow alone, and the Europeans to construct what is called the “Doomsday Seed Vault.”

Most curious to note in all of these events, especially after 2011 experienced a record cost of $265 billion in natural disasters (a record set just the previous year, 2010, thatcost $218 billion), are that the Western nations, most notably the United States, continues to coax their populations into complacency regarding the unprecedented events now occurring, and showing every likelihood to get worse.

To how abhorrent US officials are to their citizens preparing for natural disasters, or other type emergencies, their propaganda media organs this past month launched a series of news reports, magazine articles and television programmes depicting these people as “Doomsday Preppers” who are mentally ill, at best, or deranged, at worst.

This depiction by the US of people who prepare for the worst of times as “crackpots” stands in sharp contrast to the entirety of human civilization where it was a valued practice to store up food and supplies in preparation for any eventuality.  And to the “eventuality” one should, indeed, prepare for, as noted in Director Seleznyov’s report, is the growing global chaos that could very well ensue should his predictions prove accurate.

To the validity of Director Seleznyov’s predictions, should they come horrifyingly true this year, one need look no further than the letter conversations held between arguable two of the greatest minds of the 20^th century;  Albert Einstein (1879-1955) the German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, andImmanuel Velikovsky (1895-1975) the Russian-born American independent scholar of Jewish origins.

Where on one hand Einstein represented the modern scientific community regarding the possibility of “sudden” Earth changes, Velikovsky gave voice to the all of the ancient peoples who ever lived on this Earth who stated they witnessed these “sudden” Earth changes first hand, with the “battle” between them resting on what was going to be the “final outcome” and, perhaps, best articulated by Einstein in his 22 May 1954 letter to Velikovsky that, in part, said:

“The proof of “sudden” changes is quite convincing and meritorious. If you had done nothing else but to gather and present in a clear way this mass of evidence, you would have already a considerable merit.”

Though Einstein died before he and Velikovsky were able to complete their “debate,” critical assumptions made by Einstein in backing his position were subsequently proved to be false, and as Velikovsky completely documented in his manuscript “Before The Day Breaks”.

To us living today, and as detailed in Director Seleznyov’s report, of whom to believe…Einstein or Velikovsky…will determine the fate billions…and if the ancients are to be believed, the “end” will come much, much sooner than later.

[Ed. Note: Western governments and their intelligence services actively campaign against the information found in these reports so as not to alarm their citizens about the many catastrophic Earth changes and events to come, a stance that the Sisters of Sorcha Faal strongly disagrees with in believing that it is every human beings right to know the truth.  Due to our missions conflicts with that of those governments, the responses of their ‘agents’ against us has been a longstanding misinformation/misdirection campaign designed to discredit and which is addressed in the report “Who Is Sorcha Faal?”.]

There is so much negativity these days I'm beginning to feel like I'm drowning. I stumbled upon this article and found it refreshing, so I'm sharing it here. There are more messages you can scroll through... http://www.cosmicparadigm.com/Athabantian/.  While it allows for a poleshift and crustal shift, it makes a case for hope and rising above fear about the coming events...

Now Is The Moment

How many times do you have to be told that things will not continue as they are? How many times do we have to say that all will change? How often do we have to say that you will not just float through the transformation without being affected by it? Things will not continue as they are. All will change. You will not float though the shift without being affected. You will change. Others will change. All about you will change.

There will be a transition time — “Interim Time” — as Earth and all who choose will shift to higher frequencies. After Interim Time all will be vastly different on Earth. The only way to the new Earth is to change yourself. Learn to vibrate at a higher frequency, see all in Oneness, and think from your heart.

Now is the moment of your transformation.

The changes you see depicted in movies and videos are 3rd dimension, fear-based representations of the change that is coming to your planet and to you its human inhabitants. The greater changes will be those experienced by individuals as they cope with the energies of a higher vibration, of a lighter way of being. For love will come with a whoosh, overpowering all; only those who are prepared will accept it. Those who are not prepared will be overwhelmed and will turn to fear — just exactly what they should not do.

Seeing darkness as another manifestation of the Oneness of all is the correct way to see things. Do not run from the darkness. Do not turn you back on it out of freight. Do not dismiss it by saying, “I want nothing to do with this.” For these actions only serve to embolden the darkness. While it is true that the darkness is feeling overwhelmed and on its last leg, it still has the power to ensnare those who fear it, for it feeds on weakness.

In the coming days and weeks, events may draw your attention away from your heart centeredness. Among these are the collapse of monetary systems and governments. At the same time, certain outside energies will come to Earth causing physical events to transpire. These events will not be as catastrophic as depicted in your movies.

Let me elaborate further: The magnetic pole will shift as it has done before, as Earth traverses the plane of the galaxy. Already there is a diminishing of the Earth’s magnetic field. When it is minimal, the magnetic poles will reverse. Do not underestimate the effect, for it will be very upsetting to everyone’s emotions.

As for the physical pole shift, the skin of the Earth will shift, so that the physical pole of the Earth will appear to be in a different place, although Earth’s core continues its rotation, as fixed as a giant gyroscope. We can foresee a shift that will take the North Pole southward into Siberia. The skin of the Earth will then have rotated so that the equator crosses North America. Accompanying this will be a reorientation of landmasses.

As for Earth’s axis of rotation, your brothers and sisters from around the galaxy are in the process of straightening Earth’s axis of rotation so that Earth’s axis will be vertical. This means that Earth will present herself to the sun in a vertical rotation rather than the tilt as current experienced. There will no more seasons. The moon will be removed by your space sisters and brothers, as it is an artificial satellite placed there by the dark energy, and of no use to a 4th Dimension planet.

These changes to Earth will result in massive changes to the plant kingdom, as trees, bushes and grasses that are used to winter will be unable to adapt to living at the equator and visa versa. This in turn will impact animals, fish, birds, and insects. So immediately after the shift, all will be in chaos. Then things will begin to sort themselves out as all become accustomed to the new Earth and their new abilities in the 4th Dimension.

You may believe that this huge project requires significant time. The reality is that it will happen quickly. With her strengthened energy, Earth is more than capable of recreating herself within one revolution about the sun. However it will take many years to create a love-based human civilization.

It is the convergence of time — time speeding up as everything moves into a higher frequency — that befuddles examination of this transformation from a 3rd Dimension perspective. Let me see if I can explain it another way. As time continues to collapse on its way to that moment when everything shifts to the new paradigm, more of the stark reality of the dark and the light manifest themselves. It is this starkness coupled with the collapse of time that ultimately makes all facets of the shift come together.

There will be a collapse of the institutions of man, coupled with numerous Earth rearrangements, coupled with a cleansing of the planet, coupled with the arrival of your star brothers and sisters, against your personal transformation to higher densities of your choosing.

How an individual relates to this transformation is almost entirely dependent on their personal vibration. This is not much different than the situation today wherein an individual who is fearful will resonate with the fear of the 3rd dimension. At the same time those who are love-based do not resonate with the 3rd dimension, although they will be well aware of it. We do not include the Earth and all natural things in the 3rd Dimension, because they serve as the stage whereon the grand play, in which you are all engaged, is played out.

So it will be when Earth and all that is of this new backdrop is resonating at the higher vibration of the new paradigm. Those who resonate with Earth’s higher frequency will enjoy being her guests. Those of a lower vibration will be unable to tolerate earth’s higher vibration and will choose to leave. We are making provisions for all of those who are departing due to frequency imbalances.

Needless to say, those of a much higher frequency are able to live on earth today, even though she is vibrating at a frequency lower than theirs. The same will be true of those vibrating at the higher frequency of the new Earth. They will be free to come and go as they wish.

Let us look at some specifics. Today you have created a society that functions within the fear-filled confines of governments, monetary system, corporations, healthcare systems, religions, and education systems of the 3rd dimension. You adapt your lives to this is various ways, some successfully some not, some achieve wealth, some remain poor. This is largely a combination of soul choice, karma, and dedication to an earthly path. There is no right or wrong, only experiences to accumulate. Some achieve enough heart centeredness to live within the larger society, working within its structures, and yet are not a part of it. We would call these the lightworkers or wayshowers.

On the new earth, there will again be structures, but they will be love-based in that they will serve the needs of all. These new structures will come about due to the choices of the residents of the new Earth. They will create a government that is truly of the people. Some of these governments and structures will come more easily than others due to the individual backgrounds of the people involved. Following this will come the monetary structure, and structures for delivering the goods required to live, work, and play. Yours will not be primitive societies because the people involved will carry with them the knowledge of structures from their former lives in Earth’s lower densities, and now being heart centered they will simply arrange things differently. They will be aided by their brothers and sisters from other planets to create energy sources, transportation, and communication devices and systems.

Within all this will be a number of individuals who vibrate at the frequencies of the 5th, 6th, and higher dimensions. They will assist their earthly brothers and sisters to create new ways of seeing and behaving, and to further raise their vibrations. These are the Caretakers of the new Earth, along with those from other planets who similarly vibrate at higher frequencies. All will be oriented toward ascending to new vistas, new ways of being, to Oneness with all, and to eventually reuniting all with Source. The institutes we are creating will assist these creations.

I am Adrial, a celestial of this universe. It is my wish that all will choose to ascend to the lighter vibrations of the new Earth. We aboard Athabantian eagerly wait the day when we may manifest ourselves to you, and work to create a new civilization.

http://www.ih2000.net/chembio/poleshift.html

Please read this entire document.  It is a wealth of information about the two types of shifts.  It also confirms my suspicions that to survive we need to be as far away from coastlines as possible and as high in elevation as we can possibly be, without risking exposure to solar radiation. 

There are two types of poleshifts:  (1) geographic (aka geophysical) and (2) magnetic.

Here are a few excerpts:

The first type, if 180 degrees, is called a "slate wiper." 

..."can take as little as a few hours to a few days! As we are now in the Galactic Plane, we may have several Pole Shifts of type one and type two."

"What would result from a pole shift? We can describe it as 'the ultimate disaster.' Enormous tidal waves would roll across the continents as the oceans became displaced from their basins. Electrical storms with hurricane winds of hundreds of miles per hour would sweep the planet. Tremendous earthquakes and lava flows would wrack the land. Poisonous gases and ash would fill the skies. Geography would be altered as seabeds rose and land masses submerged. Climates would change instantly. And if the shift were less than a full end–over–end, the polar ice caps, exposed to strong sunlight by having moved out of the frigid zones, would melt rapidly...[Emphases added]

[Gives details about the types of poisonous gases and how to deal with them...Very Important Information especially if you are considering sheltering in caves!]

"...a Geographical Pole Shift could generate a Geomagnetic Pole Shift."

"A Geomagnetic Pole Shift, if it occurs rapidly, could cause plasma TVs to burst into flames; electricity and the things it serves would be affected on Earth in a negative manner. The reason would be because of induced current, which would "fry" transistors and delicate electronics and electrical systems. The magnetic fields, as they shift quickly, would cause (induce) a current across conducters carrying current. This induced current would be so large that it will burn out delicate wires and the electric parts they are serving. The magnetic pulses cutting across conductors can cause capacitors and transitors to burn out by generating more current than the transitors and capacitors are capable of carrying as well as their conductors. We would experience fires in vehicles, airplanes, and even witness planes falling out of the sky because their motors stop due to the small delicate electronics burning out. Motors are generally geared to take a brief surge of overcurrent.  With large induced currents in the world's electrical system, whole grid blackouts would be evidenced across the entire planet."

...

[I have mentioned about how we will undergo assaults on our minds...crime will escalate, insanity will become rampant... finally here is some scientific details showing the processes involved and possible countermeasures...]

"As the Earth goes through The Galactic Plane, the pineal gland may experience a disruption from powerful ElectroMagnetic Fields and ElectroMagnetic Pulses causing a massive die–off and/or a species extinction of all species. We may well experience significant changes in function of the organism in all species. The weak will not survive, we surmise. The sleep–deprived will drop like flies when "push comes to shove." The stress will be horrendous. Melatonin will help. We feel it is best to get it from one's own body biochemically, if the body still can produce it sufficiently. During this horrendous time, supplementation would definitely be advisable. What we are about to write is not for the squimish! Go to the next bullet if you don't like that which is dire...very dire. What we just spoke about, "dropping like flies...," we feel people and whole cities going down—people just dropping on the streets. It won't be because of the rocks falling, etc., but the extreme stress and the EMP/EMFs that may be caused by the rocks, the Galactic Ripple(s), heavenly bodies passing near our Earth, and other things interferring with our normal Central Nervous System's Biofield. One problem will be the young. Mostly they will not make it. They are not prepared in mind, body, and spirit for what is about to befall them. First, and almost, if not simultaneously, the economy of America, then the world's, drying up. Cities, states, and whole governments bankrupt, such that they print ridiculous amounts of money, and to no avail. Remember this! That is one of the reasons you prepared. And, the tremendous effects of The Galactic Plane not even felt yet nor witnessed. This is still to come. Those who survive this initial insult against the chemistries of the body will probably be those few in the cities that have prepared and are following various advices of the sages of time: Watching the for "Signs of The Times." The people who survive this mainly will be those rural Americans, including those who have gotten out of the cities and joined them in a convent relationship, who by current standards, are poor. They have one land–line phone; few appliances; some cows and a Jersey or two and have real milk and real meat; real crops that produce real food native to the area and have real organic chickens with real organic eggs. These rural Americans have not been weakened."

You can recharge your energy of the muscle cells and others with creatine monohydrate powder. But, wait...why are we talking about this just now? It is because we just finished discussing what is going to happened to the sleep deprived. During sleep deprivation, CP levels quite often go down too, such that there is a decrease in:

• Mental functions.
• Decision–making.
• Short–term memory.
• Mood suffers.
• Coordination and balance suffers, and...
• Reaction time.

With what is coming, the stress will be chronic soon, and cortisol, high. We further suggest to eliminate polyunsaturated fats from your diet in the form of cooking oils, tablets, pills, capsules, etc. Get it naturally in the foods you eat. We suggest to strengthen the cellular health with butter and coconut oils, in moderation, and eat about a tablespoon or less of cooked fat on red meat."

Dimensional Change:

(From Comments) "...20 July. It was a blowmind! Rationally, I managed to explain to myself just
about the Tao. But intuitively, I say, at my core, something vibrated very
strong and clear. And I know that a message of this magnitude can not be
understood with the shallow human reason. We are actually changing the
frequency, dimension, I really do not know for sure. But the proof is the spark
that happens inside of us seeing these messages, as if something deep inside
said, "I understand!". I believe it is this internal source that we must seek
understanding. And to think this side is that we are evolving, into and upwards,
and then go out and in any direction." ~Clara, Soa Paulo, Brazil

Has "doomsday" begun already?

The horrific earthquake and nuclear meltdown in Japan has shaken the world. There's a discussion ensuing on
the internet that the "2012 Doomsday" has begun. It seems appropriate to write about this, since everything else pales in significance. So we dare to ask, "Has the doomsday finally begun?"

Editor's Note: I know that attention spans on the internet are short. I will therefore tell you that, yes, I believe a kind
of doomsday has begun and it is caused by a cyclical interaction between the Earth and the Sun. I will attempt to explain this as best I can later in this article. It's only a theory for you to consider and I strongly advise viewzone
readers to do your own research.

In researching this story I considered some of the most popular prophets of doom on the internet. I've written about
them before, but I will describe them again for those who are new to this sort of thing.

The "Time Wave" Theory of Doomsday

Terrence McKenna was a genius who focused his vast intellect on the I-Ching (among many other complex issues), an ancient Chinese system for predicting future trends. His "discovery" was that, hidden in the structure of the I-Ching, there was a fractal pattern of time that could describe the events of human civilization in terms of routine and novel life. Routine life was when civilization copes well and makes quick adjustments to their changing world. This is contrasted by novelty, when civilization struggles to cope with unfamiliar circumstances.

McKenna produced a graph that plotted these trends over time. He called this graph the "Time Wave" and he noted that the graph ended in maximum novelty on the traditional doomsday, December 21, 2012.

We first reported about McKenna's Time Wave Theory, in the Spring of 2010 and noted that some pivotal event was predicted to occur in early July when routine life plateaued. This was believed by many to be the "beginning of the end" for humanity. But this never happened. Another significant date was November 11th of that year when the Time Wave dropped sharply, plunging to the depths of novelty. But that also failed to prove significant.

So, in light of the catastrophe in Japan on March 11th, we thought we'd see how the Time Wave plotted this particular disaster -- certainly a novel event for almost everyone in the Pacific area. The chart below shows the Time Wave predictions.

OK. Unless something dramatic happens with the Japanese nuclear meltdown on March 23rd, it's pretty much a bust.
Anyone who knows about McKenna will also be aware that he consumed many hallucinogenic substances and wrote extensively about psychedelics. Does that figure in his obvious miscalculations? Maybe. We'll have to see.

Clif High's Web Bot Program

The Web Bot is a computer program that scans the internet and looks for subtle changes in language, how certain words are used, and analyses this information to predict certain trends in our changing human culture. The web bot has been able to predict the future so well that the it has been used by economists and stock traders with a good to excellent rating.

I've written about the web bot for viewzone before. I became interested when the program's designer, Clif High, started applying his linguistic analysis to social phenomenon and natural disasters. Clif publishes a series of quarterly predictions that foretell "doomsday" in some detail.

Clif High has quite a following. But that following dropped precipitously when he linked doomsday to the BP Gulf oil disaster back in 2010, and even more so when his "Israeli Mistake" -- a nuclear disaster resulting from Isreal's raid on the nuclear facilities in Iraq -- didn't happen.

Clif was quiet for a while and many thought he was finished with his predictions. But he had one last bit of future insight up his sleeves -- the "Expanding Earth Theory". It's not a new theory, and it's not Clif's. But he did always mention
some linguistic clues about a "Sun disease" that, in hindsight, mesh with this doomsday theory and could save his credibility. Let's take a look.

Something Old & Something New

If you have ever looked at a map of the world, you have undoubtedly noticed that the East coast of South America appears to mimic the shape of the West coast of Africa. This observation was also noticed by German born geophysicists, Alfred Wegener, who proposed that the continents we see today were once connected. His theory
(Kontinentalverschiebung) [1] was ridiculed and dismissed for 40 years because no one could imagine how continents could move and essentially plow through the ocean floor's crust.

But in the 1950s a research ship of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, conducted a deep sea survey of the Atlantic Ocean's floor and discovered an enormous submerged mountain chain which they named the "Mid-Atlantic Ridge" [2][3][4]. It was later discovered that every ocean contains parts of the same, interconnected mid-ocean ridge system. Although the ridge system runs down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the ridge is located away from the center of other oceans.

Close examination of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and other mid-ocean ridges, revealed that these were formed by cracks in the earth's crust which allowed magma to come to the surface, cool and solidify to become new crust. In fact, core samples of the crust on either side of the ridges showed that it was relatively new and spreading out, away from the ridge. At last, Wegener's plate tectonic theory was accepted!

Subduction Zones?

One of the interesting things about paradigms is that they stubbornly refuse to die. The idea that the Earth had never changed persisted, even though Wegener's plate tectonic theory was the new paradigm. Sure, new crust was being formed in the mid-ocean ridges and this was moving the continents, but the size of the planet wouldn't change-- would
it?

[Above: Assuming the planet was the same size as it presently is, the original continent, Pangaea, would have been surrounded by a vast ocean.]

To maintain a planet of the same size, there has to be a method to compensate for the new crust being made in the ridges. To solve this dilemma, scientists theorized that the plates sometimes move under other plates in a process called subduction.

[Above: 1 Mid-ocean ridges can be seen all over the planet, adding about a cubic mile of crust each year. Contrast this to the relatively few and dispersed subduction zones Above: 2 around the globe.]

The map above shows the age of the earth's oceanic crust from newest (red) to oldest (blue).

There is no "direct" proof of subduction. No experimental objects have been placed to measure it and no land masses have ever been oberved moving towards each other. [*] So the question arises: is there an alternate theory? And what does this theory reveal about "doomsday"?

The Expanding Earth Theory -- cycles of doom

Shortly after Wegener's continental drift theory was introduced, many people tried to piece together the continents. Some pieces (like South America and Africa) were an obvious fit, but others did not fit together because of the belief that a vast ocean had to be accommodated in the models. Sam Carey, an Australian, dared to solve the puzzle without an ocean and found that the continents fit together perfectly. Of course, this was in the 1930s at a time when Wegener's theory was still being ridiculed and mocked.

But Carey was on to something big... or small. His solution only worked if the Earth was a fraction of its present size.
But it worked perfectly. Check this out:

There is strong evidence that the oceans are a relatively recent addition to planet Earth. All the present ocean floors are geologically young [5]. Present-day continents, such as Australia, were formed about 4.3 billion years ago. In contrast, the geologically oldest seafloor formed only 180 million years ago.

The Plate Tectonic model assumes this is because older oceanic crust has been subducted [6]. For this assumption to be correct, an area equivalent to the Pacific Ocean would have had to be subducted under the Americas since the Jurassic period, with no debris or remnants of older oceanic crust left behind. We just don't see that kind of vigorous subduction taking place anywhere on the planet today.

Biologists have looked at ancient plant and animal fossils to determine which continents and oceans they once inhabited. They concluded that, "The balance of evidence seems to require an expanding earth..." [7].

Carey suggested that an experiment should be conducted to measure the expansion and, in 1986, his suggestion was carried out.

A pair of receivers [A & B below] were set up at different locations on the earth, each looking at the same quasar and listening to its radio emissions.[8] Quasars are radio sources which serve as a universal beacon. Because of the curvature of the Earth, one location (A) was slightly nearer to the quasar signal and so received it first. Using the time delay and a little geometry, the difference in the distance between the two stations and the quasar can be determined. If the same measurements are taken at a later time, when the two receivers are oriented with respect to the quasar as before, if receiver B has moved closer to the quasar, the delay time between them will be less.

Since we know that the distance between the two receivers [A and B] has not changed, evidence of their apparent change in distance from the Quasar [C] must be attributed to the fact that the curvature of the Earth has lessened from expansion. Over a ten year period, experimental results showed an earth expansion of about two centimeters per year (2.0 cm/yr), while the actual surface separation [A and B] remained constant.

This may sound small, but the volume is enormous.

Giraffes and Dinosaurs

If the Earth were the size of Carey's model, 250-million years ago, it would likely have had just 50% of its present gravity. As it grew larger the gravity would increase. Proponents of the Expanding Earth theory are quick to note that this explains some mysteries that have puzzled archaeologists and biologists. It seems that they are at a loss to explain how animals such as dinosaurs could have evolved to be so huge.

Giraffes have a maximum height to which their necks can grow. This is determined by the pull of gravity on the blood in the arteries travelling up to their brains. A height over 17 feet apparently reaches the limits of heart muscles. But dinosaurs were much larger. How did they achieve adequate blood perfusion in their brains?

According to researcher and author, Stephen Hurrell:

"To understand why dinosaurs were so large we need to turn the question of their large size on its head and ask why the animals of today don't grow as large as the dinosaurs.

As any animal becomes larger its mass (and hence its weight) varies in relation to its unit length cubed, while the area (and hence the strength) of its legs varies in relationship to its unit length squared. This mathematical relationship governs the size of all life, so as animals increase in size their strength-to-weight ratio reduces until they reach an upper size limit.

This upper limit is the reason why it is so surprising that dinosaurs were so gigantic. Today's life appears to have reached the maximum size achievable, but life during the dinosaurs' time was much larger. This larger size could be explained if dinosaurs weighed less because gravity was less at that time."[9]

What about that DOOMSDAY?

So if the earth was smaller in the past, and is growing larger every year, how does this figure into the doomsday scenario?

According to Clif High, the reason that Earth grows in size has to do with what's inside of it. He suggests that the core of the planet is not made of molten iron, as the Plate Tectonics theory proposes. Clif considers the new plasma paradigm that is rapidly winning over astrophysicists as the basic substance of the universe -- slowly but surely pushing aside the gravity model to explain how things are made and held together.

Plasma is the fourth state of matter (different from solid, liquid and gas) and it's everywhere in the universe. Plasma has unusual properties that explain how matter is created from pure energy. While we may not yet understand these properties, the existence of matter in the plasma universe is proof that it is so. That same process is supposedly going on inside our planet -- new matter is being created from streaming plasma that comes from our Sun and possibly other sources such as Gamma Ray Bursts [10].

But wait... there's more!

This stream of plasma doesn't just trickle through the solar system. NASA has detected a portal through which our Sun's magnetic field connects directly to Earth's magnetic field about once every eight minutes.[11] While that could account for the average yearly increase in matter, there's something even more significant. Our Sun has cycles of 11,500 to 12,000 years where it ramps up its blasts of plasma, sending huge vollies of energy in the form of Coronal Mass Ejections and flares that rapidly increase the Earth's expansion. [12] And, according to Cliff High, we have just entered one of these cycles.

We've written about this cycle in the past (see The Last Doomsday) in some detail. It's real and based on sound scientific evidence. We'll be writing more about this in our next installment of this series which will discuss the superwave theory developed by Dr. Paul Laviolette.

Our previous speculation was that a powerful solar blast would produce atmospheric disturbances and fry electrical circuits on Earth -- bringing us back to the pre-electric, pioneer days. We failed to see the link between seismic
disturbances -- earthquakes, tsunamis and floods -- until Cliff made the Expanding Earth connection. The 9.0 quake in Japan reinforced this link.

Mega-Flares and X-Flares

On March 9th, 2011, the following report was issued in the Earth Changes Newsletter:

"Over the last 48 hours, ten (10) M-Class flares have fired off from at least three separate sunspot regions. Space Shuttle was put on alert and lands safely prior to elevated solar activity ... Forty-eight hours after the first set of flares, a
7.2 mag. earthquake hit Japan setting off a small tsunami. Ten hours later, a series of "straight-line winds" along with several tornadoes hit the southeastern United States."

Then, the next day, this report came from the Space Weather Observatory:

Space Weather News for March 10, 2011 http://spaceweather.com

X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE:

March 9th ended with a powerful solar flare. Less than an hour before midnight (UT), Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.5-class explosion from behemoth sunspot 1166. First-look data suggest that the blast did hurl some material
toward Earth. Check spaceweather.com for movies of the flare and updates on its possible effects.

Then, on March 11, 2011, the unprecedented 9.0 earthquake hit Japan causing a massive tsunami that killed
an estimated 16,000 people. Coincidence?

Pole Shift Madness

For a while here on viewzone we have been hearing from readers who believe that the crust of the Earth will slip around the mantle, re-arranging the continental plates and causing what is curiously referred to as a "pole shift". This is a theory that was put forth by Charles Hapgood (again, we have written about this HERE).

The most popular version of this doomsday scenario has a rogue planet -- planet-X -- entering the solar system and disturbing the gravity of our planet. This prediction features most prominently on Nancy Lieder's website "zetatalk.com" and has an international following. Nancy claims to receive her information from grey aliens called "Zetas" who have
the star system Zeta Reticuli as their origin and communicate with her telepathically.

While one could spend considerable time debating her predictions, the following information seems to bear witness against her. First, the typical "Grey" alien made popular by Whitley Strieber in his book Communion is not a Zeta. The term "Zeta" originated from the UFO encounter with Betty and Barney Hill back in the 1960s. According to Betty Hill, she was shown a star map of the alien's home planet which she later drew under hypnosis. Analysis of this drawing showed that it was remarkably similar to the star system we call Zeta Reticuli, thus the name. But the aliens that Betty described looked nothing like the big-eyed, grey skinned aliens depicted by Strieber. In fact, Betty was asked outright in an interview if she met the Greys and she emphatically said "No!" Her abductors -- the real Zetas -- were more human like in appearance.

Then there is the problem with planet-X. This has its origins in the rogue planet first described by Zecharia Sitchin in The Twelfth Planet. This wandering giant supposedly has an orbit of 3600 years around our Sun and periodically enters the vicinity of Earth, causing gravity problems and tidal waves. The flood of the Bible and the Sumerian legend of Utnapishtam is supposedly related to one of its more recent passages near our planet. Nancy Lieder relies on this planet -- called "Nibiru" by Sitchin -- to trigger her pole shift doomsday. But before he passed away, Sitchin was asked specifically about Nancy's prediction and whether this planet could be involved in a 2012 doomsday scenario. Sitchin totally distanced himself from her predictions stating that Nibiru was still 1200 years away in its outer orbit.

And lastly, there is the belief that pole shifts have happened in the past, giving credence to the validity of Nancy Lieder's predictions.

As we have discussed in this article, core samples were taken on both sides of the mid-Atlantic ridge to determine the age of the oceanic crust. These samples also revealed the direction of the earth's magnetic field when they were created. These core samples go back millions of years and show that the earth has never had its crust oriented to a different magnetic pole (other than those times when the poles naturally reversed polarity), nor has the Earth's crust ever been displaced by a so-called pole-shift. Totally busted!

We will write more stories about predictions in the coming weeks. For now, it looks like the problems we will encounter -- or are currently already experiencing -- are from our Sun, coupled with our own human ineptness in relying too much on vulnerable technologies.

With the 8.9 magnitude earth quake in Japan last evening I ask myself if the New Madrid fault line is next.  It has been predicted here, and on other sites, by many people including myself, that something big would coincide with the full moon of March 19th and the fact that the moon will be at it's closest point to the earth, during a full moon, since 2005.  What are the thoughts of the members of this ning.  I, for one, am on high alert as I had told myself any earthquake above 8 points in Japan would signal the beginning of the domino effect wrapping around the world.  I know that there are those on the PS site who had thought the tipping of South America would be the trigger.  I have always thought that it would start in Japan and then move to the New Madrid.  At the risk of rambling I will post this to get the opinions of all of our members!

This may be related to the earth wobble?

This is about the magnetic pole shift, different from a crustal shift...

http://modernsurvivalblog.com/pole-shift-2/alarming-noaa-data-rapid-pole-shift/

Tonight on the NBC Nightly News it was reported that magnetic north is moving towards Russia at a rate of 40 miles a year!  The report went on to say that the Miami International Airport is renaming at least one of their runways because the latitude and longitude names for it were no longer correct!  It was also mentioned that the pole is always changing but that this was a real up tick in the speed.  It was just a quick little blurb but it hit me like a bomb shell!  Could it be that the media is finally getting on board as the changes can no longer be denied?

Namaste,

Coedwig
