Greetings and Salutations,

Jumped the gun, last week but, this past week produced some things that tell you there is nothing 'normal' afoot. The last time the phenom in russia happened was in 1908.

So this week I will review what's coming at the world with these global settlements. First my legs have Not been cut off to the folks getting this done, and never set yourself up as the only knower of what's up. Even DC has to wait on the button to get pushed and in many instances they know less than I do. When you get sent to the bank to access, you will be accessing directly into a 5 star trust, built by the dragons so the banker will have all the details for you, just ask what ever questions you wish. One group has the power to release the accounts, not any politicians, kings or queens...not even the pope. Contrary to another talking head, the gold has already been moved to the 6 new trading zones around the world. The world's debt and assets have been absorbed by the 'Harmonius World' action group, setting up the situation where the fed reserve system, the BIS, IMF, etc will cease running the global banking world. If you want further distance between what you wish to fund and are concerned about being targeted like a lottery winner, you may want to take a look at these folks www.thor.ca (link)

This is not about politics, ladies and gentlemen. This is about world justice for humanity and the world marshals will be enforcing the new global accords. Don't ask me who they are, could be, they put interpol on steroids, don't know but I saw their mission statement. The St Germain trust folks joined the dragons a few years ago to reduce redundancy and they are the ones who came and got me in the late 80's. I do get a little annoyed when folks rattle on about being in control of it, it tells me they aren't and have no idea what it's purpose is. The attorneys keep that full so it can manifest it's destiny. 'Shift the wealth of the world'. We're in good shape and our freedom will come like that lightning bolt that hit the vatican. Sudden, little to no warning. Just make sure your surf board is waxed and ready to catch that first curl, 'hang ten' folks. lol I can see some of the more elderly rolling their eyes....I don't know about that Poofy.

Don't try any creative ventures to get around the new stuff, you will fail. They will shut you down. The rvs, drops, and announcements will come almost at the same time, which come in concert with the chinese. The banks will be open, even in china, but china goes first. Best listen first and understand. Lawyers and the like have a little upgrading to do and having never been in this world before, it'll take a minute to find out if they can even continue. But, hey, what do I know? I got dropped off the back of a wagon on the way to market. So I can tell how the cows ate the cabbage. Have fun and don't let let these 'smart guys' mislead you.

God Bless!

Oh yea, rumormill news has quite the article on the the queen of england. (link)

Consultations available until the doorbell rings.

Love and Kisses,
Poofness

Slush fund accounts of major US politicians identified and seized at Vatican Bank (Rome). Connection established with Daniel Dal Bosco RICO indictment, which cites Giancarlo Bruno, Silvio Berlusconi & Ban Ki Moon.   On Wednesday 5th January 2011, it emerged that US establishment-related slush fund accounts had been located in, and seized from, the Vatican Bank in Rome.  The source of funds for these accounts in almost every instance was found to be the US Treasury.   Beneficiaries of the covert Vatican accounts include Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and each of the Obama children, Michelle Obama's mother, all the Bushes and the Clintons, including Chelsea Clinton, Joe Biden, Timothy Geithner, Janet Napolitano, several US Senators, including Mitch McConnell, several US Congressmen including John Boehner, several US Military Chiefs of Staff, the US Provost Marshal, the US Judge Advocate General, the US Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Roberts, several US Judges, the Pope, and several cardinals.   Big money was found in each of the accounts. The longer the beneficiaries have been in office, the greater the account balances were found to be. They range from a few million USD to more than a billion USD in the case of John Roberts. The total number of slush fund accounts so far identified at the Vatican Bank is said to be between 600 and 700. This number is likely to grow as international élite corruption investigations spread worldwide.   The disclosures have split the Roman Catholic Legatus organisation down the middle. Elizabeth Windsor (Queen Elizabeth II of England) is in the know and is intimately involved in the swirling and fissiparous covert power plays.

From Tolec's site:  http://www.andromedacouncil.com/

The official beginning of the infusion of 4D, fourth dimensional, energy, will begin to affect Earth's solar system on  11.11.11  as it begins to encounter energy from the galactic equatorial plane region - as a universe & galactic wide harmonic frequency will open and affect this whole area of space.

Whether people call this phenomenon a stargate or portal this area of faster higher fourth dimensional energy is real.  This historic date of 11.11.11 begins the infusion of 4D dimensional energy onto your planet.  It will affect Earth & its people in a  positive, uplifting way like never before experienced in your planet's history.

2012 - 2013

The saturation of this higher frequency vibration will continue from the end of 2011, through all of 2012, reaching full strength during the time of December 21, 2012 - which will bring a completely new, even higher level frequency vibration - such that the experience & measurement of time as the people of Earth have known it... will begin to go away.   It will continue to go away and perpetually diminish throughout all of 2013.

These vibrational changes, and continued geophysical changes, earthquakes, volcanoes going off, wave events, these will all continue to happen throughout the last months of 2012, into March 2013 [and beyond] when the final rotation of the 90 degree shift of Earth's crust begins to happen with the present day East/West orientation of the continents moving into their new North/South orientation.

There is also expected to be a magnetic pole shift, a reversal, during this time, but will likely not cause any problems for the people of Earth. There is of course likely to be a temporary period of adjustment of Earth's electrical systems, but this is only expected to last a few hours time.  It will not be problematic.  If there are any  difficulties at all, the biospheres of the Andromeda Council stand ready to help and will help.

The 23.5 degree off-axis tilt of the Earth that presently exists should be corrected as well, and will be no longer.  This will mean a much more temperate climate for planet Earth overall.  Think of the whole planet as having a climate much like that of the Mediterranean region.

Yes, planet Earth will likely go through continued dramatic changes to get to this new higher vibrational existence.  And these events as life changing they will be to both humans and all life on the planet... these changes are normal and necessary for this process.   It  is  transformation.   It is evolution.

During this overall time every living thing from the largest to the smallest will be offered the opportunity to change, to evolve, into 4D, fourth dimensional, life.

Just  like  a  woman's  body  changes, adjusts & expands,  Earth too must go through her uncomfortable adjustments, her labor pains, and the momentary intense pain of child birth. her Earth  too  must  adjust  &  prepare  herself  for  this  new beginning, for her new life as a 4th density world... a far more  colorful,  vibrant, &  beautiful  4th  dimensional  world.

These earth changes are expected to settle down throughout remaining later part of 2013, and will begin the completion of this cycle by the end of October, winding down in December 2013.

2014

It is expected planet Earth, her people & virtually all life, will begin her new 4D higher vibrational existence, her new fourth dimensional life, in early January 2014.

Please know that this moment of change to 4D will happen, literally, as  fast  as, in  the  'blink of an eye'.   This change to 4D life will be instantaneous.  There will also be some pockets of 5D, fifth dimensional, vibration, on your new 4D Earth.  But be assured, it will be an even more colorful, far more beautiful reborn world.

Also please keep in my that 4D, the fourth dimension, is one of a journey inward toward the complete expression of love... love for each other and love of self.  During the course of this evolution toward 4D, toward a life of love, remember to forgive... forgive yourself & forgive others on the way to... opening your heart.

This journey from 3D to 4D can also be expressed as the journey from thousands of years of male/intellectual/logical energy & outward expression focused on the ways of the mind; transitioning to the more gentle expressions of female/giving/intuitive energy focused on the... ways of the heart.  The ways of peace, of giving... of love.

The Transformation - A New Beginning
A Truly Beautiful Reborn Planet Earth
New Life as Higher Dimensional Humans

Once Earth is vibrating in the fourth dimension, Earth's remaining sentient inhabitants, including all humans, will be forever changed. The moment of change to 4D human life will happen in the 'blink of an eye', that fast.  Once changed, people will manifest a variety of natural, multi-sensory abilities as never before experienced in Earth's history. These new abilities include: telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, and levitation. For all of transformed humanity - human consciousness, human life, will make a quantum leap in evolution.

Humans finally experience and learn first hand about the truth & reality of their own soul, about their true spiritual birth essence & origin. 4D humanity experiences a true spiritual life - complete self awareness and cognition, total memory recall, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience & greater natural harmony with others.

This will include a complete transformation of your solar system. A complete transformation of the human race on planet Earth. You will now have crystalline bodies, healthy, light filled with virtually eternal life spans. And a beautiful way of living like you have never imagined.

This time in Earth’s history will begin what many have described as a new age of enlightenment, literal spiritual awareness, living , being & consciousness, an age of true human renewal...

back to the origins of what the human race was meant to become.  And;

People of planet Earth, you will determine your own destiny, you will make your own conscious choices... you will determine your future.  No one else.

But the difference is, with this evolutionary change, from this time forward, people of planet Earth, now a fourth dimensional race, you will no longer be alone.

You will now finally truly be reconnected with your brothers, sisters and cousins across the stars in this vast universe full of sentient, intelligent life.  Truly a family & community of galactic life.

As you can imagine, it will be more fun for you to reconnect with family you haven't seen in a while. It should make this particular reconnection with your relatives... a once in a 'lifetime' experience, and a new beginning, as you on planet Earth start a whole new & enlightened chapter in your planet's history.

Welcome to the greater family of humanity thriving across the universe.  Mitakuye Oyas'in.  All My Relations.  We Are All Related.  We Are All One.

Aspen, CO: First lady, Joe Biden in town
Saturday, February 16, 2013

ASPEN — Michelle Obama and her daughters, Sasha and Malia, arrived Friday in Aspen to enjoy Presidents Day weekend.

Law-enforcement officials declined to discuss the first lady's plans for the short stay, but Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo said that his agency will be providing assistance to the Secret Service during the visit. DiSalvo said his understanding is that Obama will leave town by Sunday.

Vice President Joe Biden also is visiting the area this week, with a short ski trip planned in Snowmass Village, according to published reports. Sgt. Brian Olson, of the Snowmass Village Police Department, declined to discuss the second-in-command's stay.

“We don't have information we're providing one way or another,” he said.

DiSalvo said the Sheriff's Office will have seven to eight deputies helping the Secret Service during Obama's visit.

“As usual, we are there to support the Secret Service just like we support any other law enforcement in the state of Colorado,” he said. “They have no power of arrest, so if they do need the power of arrest, we are there. And it's important that they have our local knowledge.”

The Washington Post, in a report Friday, said “White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed Friday to reporters aboard Air Force One that the first lady and her daughters will be on a ‘ski trip out west with family and friends.'”

The first lady's most recent visit to Aspen came over Presidents Day weekend 2012. She also was here in July 2011, when she was here to raise campaign funds for President Obama's 2012 campaign. The fundraiser took place at the home of Jim and Paula Crown in the Maroon Creek Club near the Tiehack side of Buttermilk.

DiSalvo said the cost to county taxpayers to provide support for this weekend's visit, as well as the one in 2011, is worth it.

“I think that loaning our resources to the Secret Service is something I will continue to do,” he said. “It's a privilege to have dignitaries here, no matter what party they represent. It's an important part of the community.”

The sheriff said it is too early too tell how much his staff expenses will be in relation to Michelle Obama's stay.

Biden and the first lady's visits are unrelated, and neither has a public appearance slated for the weekend. President Obama reportedly is vacationing in Florida this weekend.

Donation Campaign

As some of you may know, I live on a limited disability income.  Some of you have generously donated over the years, and I have covered the rest.  Because of a certain situation, I won't say what and how much I have covered, but it has been equal or more (not including the time I spend working on this site), and I've been happy to do it.  I promised this site would never have advertising on it, and I've kept that promise. 

However, there has been a change in my finances.  Not only is inflation on the rise, but my ailing adult son is living with me now, undergoing a treatment regimen similar to cancer treatment for Hepatitis C.  So, for the next year I need some help with the expenses for this site.  I have opened up the Donations tab (above) for those who would like to contribute.

The monthly fee is $24.95 (we have the Pro plan, see http://www.ning.com/chooseplan) plus another $25 for operational expenses (advertising and management tools). 

In addition, PayPal charges 3.6% - 4.5% of every donation.  And 5% sales tax is now withheld from donations.  So, what is received is about 8.6% - 9.5% less than what is donated. 

So, the goal is to raise $50 a month.  I appreciate any sized donation.  "Every little bit helps." 

Thanks so much.

From an email from John DiNardo:

Well, people *can* take protective measures if they are warned a bit in advance of a possible meteorite strike. They can get away from windows to avoid flying glass. They can take shelter in a central room on the lowest floor of a building. And certainly,   everyone should start filling plastic and glass bottles with tap water, and purchase canned sardines, salmon, tuna fish, chicken, canned beans, dried lentils, barley, etc.

Notice that RT (Russian Television) is warning us of another meteor threat, *not* our U.S. television networks. In fact, our own Gov't, NASA, is lying to us, right through your TV screen -- telling us: "Oh, that asteroid pass and that meteorite strike are unrelated, folks.  Just a coincidence."

We should all realize that politicians and television are *not* going to warn you in advance of a meteorite strike. The money powers who own and control politicians and the TV networks will not alert the public.  They do not want to disturb their stock market.

MANUAL REACTOR TRIP ON LOW STEAM GENERATOR WATER LEVEL

"At 1352 [hrs. EST], the Unit 2 CCR [Central Control Room] noted a trip of both heater drain tank pumps and entered Abnormal Operating Procedure 2-AOP-FW-1, 'Loss of Feedwater'. Prior to the event, Instrumentation and Controls personnel were performing testing on the heater drain tank level control system. Turbine load was reduced per plant procedures, however a manual reactor trip was initiated at 1355 due to an inability to maintain steam generator water levels. The team subsequently entered E-0, 'Reactor Trip or Safety Injection'. All control rods fully inserted. All safety systems responded as expected with the exception of source range detector N-31 and intermediate range detector N-35. N-31 and N-35 were declared inoperable. The auxiliary feedwater system actuated as expected and provided feedwater to maintain steam generator water level. Decay heat removal is via the steam generators to the main condensers. Offsite power and plant electrical lineups are normal. No primary or secondary code safety relief valves lifted. The reactor is in Mode 3 and stable. Unit 3 was unaffected and remains at 100% power. An investigation is in progress."

Unit 2 is currently at normal operating pressure and temperature. The licensee plans to issue a press release on this event.

The licensee notified the State of New York Public Service Commission and the NRC Resident Inspector.

Veteran weather modification expert Ben Livingston is a former Navy Physicist who briefed President Lyndon B. Johnson on the effectiveness of weather control back in the 1960's during the Vietnam era, when he was involved in cloud seeding programs that worked to slow down the advance of Vietnamese and Korean troops. Livingston asserts that asserts that hurricane control was a national priority of the government more than 40 years ago and that the technology was fully operational to control the weather at the time.
Livingston explains how for decades the US government has had the power to both lessen and increase the severity of adverse weather for their own purposes.
Dr. Livingston was assigned in 1966 from the Naval weapons research Laboratory to a marine fighter squadron in Vietnam. Instead of guns, the aircraft under Livingston's control were fitted with cloud seeding equipment. "My mission was to find clouds and seed them for maximum precipitation value" he stated.

Dr. Livingston presents evidence from the Stanford research Institute, who were brought into Project Storm Fury (a weather control program) in the late sixties as a third party, which stated conclusively that knowledge of how to stop hurricanes had been uncovered and that they would be directly liable should a hurricane hit and cause extensive damage and loss of life. Four decades later and Livingston exposes how the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina could have been greatly minimized but was allowed to fully impact Gulf states for political reasons.

Having personally flown on 265 missions into the eyes of hurricanes, Livingston remarks that he was "disgusted" by the failure to lessen the impact of Katrina. Livingston's revelations that weather control has been a decades long program in which the US government has been deeply involved are particularly alarming given the abundant modern-day evidence of how chemtrails are being used to warp our environment in a secret geoengineering plot that threatens a myriad of unknown human health and ecological consequences.

These radioactive plumes from severe nuclear accidents were calculated by NRDC based on the actual weather patterns of March 11-12, 2011. The result on any given day will vary according to the type of reactor accident and on the prevailing weather patterns at the time.

These five nuclear power plants had emergency shutdowns in 2011:

There are 104 nuclear reactors in the United States. If one of them lost both primary and backup power for even a matter of hours, it could lead to a meltdown and an airborne radioactive plume. See what could have happened if a reactor in your area had a severe nuclear accident on March 11, 2011.info

Why U.S. nuclear power plants are vulnerable to severe accident with nuclear fallout

A future severe nuclear accident at a U.S. nuclear power plant is a real possibility. In 2011 five nuclear power plants in the United States lost primary power due to earthquake or extreme weather events, including tornados, hurricanes, and flooding. Fortunately backup power systems kicked in at these plants and a disaster was averted. But weather is not the only risk factor. Other risk factors include:

  • Type of reactor – There are two types of reactors operating it the United States: Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) and Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). Some experts judge that the design and structure of BWRs do not protect against the release of radiation during a severe accident as effectively as PWRs. The four reactors involved in the Fukushima nuclear crisis were BWRs. On the map, NRDC experts assigned a red flag to a reactor if it is a BWR.
  • Age of reactor – Reactors were designed to operate for 40 years, yet the regulatory body that oversees nuclear safety in the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, has re-licensed some nuclear power plants to operate for 60 years, well beyond their originally engineered design lifetime. On the map, NRDC experts assigned a red flag to a reactor if the NRC has approved the reactor to operate for 60 years.
  • Power level of reactor – The NRC has approved many utility operators to increase the operating power of their nuclear reactors, including for Fukushima-type reactors, and in some cases multiple times and to significantly higher power levels. These so-called "power uprates" push reactors beyond what they were originally engineered to do, and could increase the radiation hazard if a nuclear accident occurred. On the map, NRDC experts assigned a red flag if the NRC has granted a reactor a power uprate.

Email from John DiNardo...

It's really just basic physics. Visualize iron filings evenly sprinkled on a tabletop. Then visualize a strong magnet slowly sliding across the tabletop. The magnet attracts the iron filings in its pathway, leaving a clear swath in the midst of the field of iron filings.

In the late 1990s, Dr. John Murray of the Open University in Britain, and Dr. John Matese of the University of Louisiana, unknown to one another, discovered that there are "non-random" bare zones or sparse zones in the comet-filled Oort Cloud, a spherically shaped blizzard of comets, way beyond, and surrounding, our Solar System. Normally, this comet-filled Oort Cloud looks like a dense swarm of gnats flying around your head at sundown on a summer evening.

When Murray and Matese observed these "non-random" comet field patterns in the Oort Cloud, they logically and correctly concluded that some massive object is acting like that strong magnet on your tabletop, gravitationally clearing a pathway through the Oort Cloud's cometary blizzard, like a plow truck clears a snow filled highway.

This massive gravitational magnet, a NASA-discovered incoming dwarf star, holds captive thousands of comets, asteroids, meteors, boulders, rocks, and red iron-oxide dust in its intense gravitational grip. Therefore, we must face facts, and accept what NASA and its supervisory parent, the National Security Agency, have barred from media reportage for the past three decades, ever since The Washington Post heralded, on its front page, the discovery of this incoming dwarf star, which the past decade's records prove is the cause of all of these extremely severe meteorological and geological events. Currently, the denser inner region of this celestial flying beehive's surrounding swarm of space objects is approaching the environs of our inner Solar System, on its way toward its inexorable gravitational rendezvous with our Sun, in what newtonian physics principles indicate will be its looping trajectory around the Sun.

Why would a dwarf star be heading through our inner Solar System, toward the Sun? Simply explained, gravity works! You see, the mass of this incoming brown dwarf star is a thousand or more Earth-masses. Yet, the mass of our Sun is one-third of a million Earth-masses! So, our Sun is like that powerful magnet on the tabletop, with this incoming dwarf star being like a steel ball bearing rolling, by magnetic attraction, toward the magnet.

By maintaining daily awareness of God's presence, we can protect ourselves from falling debris. Also, the majority of people -- those who will escape a future impact -- can prepare in case such an impact leaves us abruptly thrown into a less technological civilization, as of a past era, in an Amish-like lifestyle.

BREAKING NEWS
Did Asteroid 2012 DA 14 Hit a Satellite? Of Did It's Gravity Dis-orbit One of Several Meteorites?
 
by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media

A bolide streaked across the sky and broke up Friday morning over the Ural Mountain city of Chelyabinsk, unleashing a tremendous shock wave that smashed windows, collapsed roofs and injured more than 980 people.

 

  2609.jpg

 

The intense flash of light was recorded on video as far away as Nizhny Tagil, nearly 300 miles to the north. The trail of the meteor was also visible in Kazakhstan, more than 80 miles to the south.

 

Regional Health Minister Marina Mokvicheva in Chelyabinsk said 985 people sought medical help for injuries and 43 were hospitalized.

A huge meteor flared through the skies over Russia's Chelyabinsk region, triggering a powerful shock wave that injured nearly a thousand people, blew out windows and reportedly caused the roof of a factory to collapse.

By Alan Boyle and Matthew DeLuca, NBC News


A meteor 15 meters across flared through the skies over Russia's Chelyabinsk region early Friday, triggering an atomic bomb-sized shock wave that injured nearly a thousand people, blew out windows and caused some Russians to fear the end of the world.

It was the largest reported fireball since the Tunguska event in 1908 – an asteroid that flattened millions of trees over a wide area in Siberia – according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Multiple amateur videos posted online showed the meteor’s flaring arc – called a bolide by scientists – as it crossed the western Siberia sky. Others from the scene included the sound of a loud boom, followed by a cacophony of car alarms. One video showed the hurried evacuation of an office building in Chelyabinsk.

Broken glass


Damage caused after a meteorite passed above the Urals city of Chelyabinskon Feb. 15.


“There was panic. People had no idea what was happening. Everyone was going around to people’s houses to check if they were OK,” Chelyabinsk resident Sergey Hametov told The Associated Press. “We saw a big burst of light then went outside to see what it was and we heard a really loud thundering sound.”

Another resident described the meteorite's “flash."

"I was standing at a bus stop, seeing off my girlfriend," Andrei, a local resident who did not give his second name, told Reuters. "Then there was a flash and I saw a trail of smoke across the sky and felt a shock wave that smashed windows."

The fireball’s trail, which JPL reported was visible for about 30 seconds and said was “brighter than the sun,” lit up one man’s morning commute. “I was driving to work, it was quite dark, but it suddenly became as bright as if it was day,” Viktor Prokofiev told Reuters. “I felt like I was blinded by headlights.”

Estimates of the number of people injured swelled throughout the day, with early reports putting those hurt around 500, with close to 100 people hospitalized.
