SaLuSa 2-March-2012

Live each day as it comes, as you never know what to expect when so many changes are on the verge of taking place. There can be little doubt that our allies are achieving great progress on many fronts, and that soon you can look forward to a period of explosive happenings. Already you are seeing how extensive our probes have been to remove corrupt individuals form the banking fraternity, and that has not yet finished. So as you can see, not only has the corruption been uncovered, but also those responsible. Once these disclosures gather steam, you would be surprised at how many people are coming forward with more information. The breakthrough has uncovered plots that have involved trillions of dollars, and the most outrageous and audacious acts to steal from their rightful owners. We intend that such monies are returned to them providing they were legally acquired in the first place. Much money that has been misused has come from the public purse, and in fact astronomical amounts are involved.

Is it no wonder that you have been denied sufficient for your needs when it has been diverted to private accounts, and black operations. We have been putting an end to such criminal acts so that wars can be considered something of the past, and world peace declared. To do all of this we must have the backing of the major governments, but only when they have been purged of those who do not have your full interests at heart. That is being worked upon and the case against them is being prepared. It is often a matter of whether each member has been true to their oath, and regretfully very few have.

So Dear Ones, we obviously know what is required to push on, but sometimes the task is so big it does take a great deal of negotiations. When we and our allies strike, you can be certain that we have covered all of the possibilities and are going to be successful. For some years we have planned well for this time, and our plentiful resources will ensure we achieve our goal. One of our biggest assets is our ability to go wherever we wish without being detected. It means we know the dark Ones plan, but does not mean we can always interfere. There are Universal Laws that govern all acts, and we have to observe your right to make your own freewill decisions. Although that may be hard to understand, that also includes the dark Ones. What often happens is that you give away your freewill, by not opposing what they have indicated they are to do. Duality is more of a game than you imagine, and quite a serious one at that. However, you can now begin to relax as the cabal and their organization have suffered a great loss of power due to our actions.

The Light which is growing all of the time is touching the hearts of more and more souls, and the awakening is spreading across the world. In every country without exception people are insisting upon being told the truth, and demanding that their representatives do so. Excuses or failure to respond is no longer being accepted, and action is expected. As you have seen already in some countries, it has resulted in massive demonstrations. The people have spoken and they will be listened to in future. In fact, politics as you know them now will never return, as in the New Age those who are of the Light will be identified and appointed for their allegiance to the Creator and all life.

There will be a more spiritual approach to all manner of things that affect the quality of life. Even religion will have to re-appraise its methods and teachings, so that it can been seen as unscrupulously honest and true to the Light. Many religions have set out to use their position to have power and control over their followers, and regretfully used fear to keep them in the fold. The fact is that you do not need outside help to understand the truth, as it is all held within. However, you follow your own path and sometimes it takes you to someone who has travelled further than you have, who can give you guidance. All decisions made by you can be checked out intuitively, so find a way of being able to take a quite moment or two to do it. The problem is that sometimes people ignore their intuition if it does not confirm what they would really like to do.

You will have a lot to learn in the short space of time left before Ascension. However, it will be most enjoyable as you absorb the new understanding of the purpose of life, and realize that it is meant to be a happy and joyful experience. Not only that, you will move onto a new path that introduces you to what you may expect after you ascend. It is after all your intent to return to the higher realms, that you have worked so hard to achieve. It comes quite naturally as it is familiar to you from the time you travelled through it, to drop into the 3rd. dimension. You are worthy souls that have proved yourselves powerful, and with the ability to overcome the darkness.

The Galactic Federation is so pleased that finally you are getting the evidence of change, in such a way that there is no denying that it is taking place. With our intent to allow you to see our craft more frequently, it has eased the suspicion that some of you have held that we are potential invaders. We have shown for many years that even when provoked, we are able to deal with it without any aggression or wanton actions. Our approach has always been in recognition of the sacredness of life which we honor and worship, as each one is a part of the Creator. The same applies where the Illuminati are concerned, as for all of their wickedness we are obliged to see them as souls of Light as everyone else. Their Light may be dim, but nevertheless it is still possible to grow from that position back to full Light. Their fate will be decided on Earth, but from a spiritual perspective, and it means that they will be shown mercy and compassion.

I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and as we move into the next phase of your path to Ascension, we feel so privileged to be the ones who are pledged to ensure you are fully prepared. It will be a most wonderful time, and you will enjoy freedom such as you have not really experienced in your present dimension. You do not have much longer living under the present conditions, and soon you will be amazed at how quickly the changes will occur. Be bold and be brave and walk your Light in the true love you hold, and are.

Thank you SaLuSa.
Mike Quinsey.

MUNICH (Reuters) - Police in several European countries have raided more than 80 properties in a probe by German prosecutors into stock market manipulation, the Munich prosecutors office said Thursday.

The office's spokesman said the raids Wednesday were into suspected cases of market manipulation, insider trading and fraud.

Fifty-three sites in Germany were searched, 29 in other European countries and four outside Europe.

He declined to identify the people or any companies under suspicion, saying only a double-digit number of people were involved.

"The investigation is at an early stage. The analysis could take a while," the spokesman said, adding that it could take years.

He said that there were "some similarities" to four recent Munich court cases where people running stock market newsletters and tip sheets targeted at retail investors had been tried for market manipulation.

Two of the cases, which also implicated members of a shareholder rights lobby group, have ended with confessions, suspended prison sentences and fines. The remaining cases are still being tried.

Here comes the 6th CME in as many days

March 01, 2012    

Here Comes The 6th

CME In As Many Days

by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media 

 574.jpg

Don't be surprised if you read about another unexpected Aurora Borealis occurring within the next 48 hours. A series of CMEs (coronal mass ejections) have been popping off for what would appear to be - no apparent reason.

 

1897.png 

Nothing large enough to capture someone's attention has occurred. No M or X-class flares, no large coronal holes, no large number of sunspot clusters. But what we do now know is a series of "filament events" have taken place.

 

 1886.jpg

Yes, something is different with our Sun. Something seems to be exciting the Sun from the interior. I believe it has something to do with our galaxy "Milky Way". There appears to be a shift going on which is affecting our solar system beginning with the Sun.

 

Having said this, I must temper my analysis with a reasonable factor. That is - our advancement in spacecraft and ground-based technology has taken "leaps" in bringing us new information truly on a daily basis. However, this does not erase what we are witness to today.

 

1900.jpg

Something is indeed different. Not so different that the Sun and Earth has seen this many times in its history, but certainly not in our lifetime. Of course, this would suggest we are simply in a cycle which supersedes shorter cycles such as an 11 year, or 100 year, or perhaps a 1000 year cycle. I would suggest we may be witnessing a 3-5000 year cycle.

 

BREAKING NEWS-JUST IN:

Two more CMEs have just fired off. Watch for extreme weather events over the next 72 hours. Because these events have been back to back, I expect to see "waves" of extreme weather to unfold. Watch for tornadoes, hurricanes (tropical storms), earthquake, volcanic, and extreme wind events such as straight-line winds, micro-bursts and wind-shears.

 

I am placing below a video showing back to back CMEs from Feb. 26th to March 1st.

The plasma ejection was not visible in STEREO A or B. A partial halo CME alert was sent by the CACTus software today concerning an eruption on Feb. 29th visible in SOHO/LASCO C2 at 09:36UT. An EUV wave and Coronal Dimming was seen in STEREO A/EUVI 195A. The CME was back-sided, seen from the Earth.

The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.

The video creators understand that how the monetary system works can be very confusing to some and have done a brilliant job in explaining how the whole system is set up to keep you forever in debt. This is not what the original founding fathers of America had in mind.

Also, this is not just an American problem. It's the same scam in nearly all countries around the world

All your life you have waited for the good news, and that day has finally come. Very soon you will witness large-scale mass arrests all over the world of many men and women who you have come to know as the world's political and financial leaders. These arrests will reach high into the U.S. Government and include many members of the financial and banking worlds. Many of these names you will immediately recognize, though some you may not immediately recognize, but all have actively taken part in serious crimes against the people, leaving our nations bankrupt why they looted our hard earned money.


These arrests are groundbreaking, and these arrests are Earth changing. Humanity will finally be free from the tyrannical control of these powerbrokers commonly known as the Cabal. These arrests should come as no surprise to many of us as we all know deep down that there is something very wrong with this world, a place where so many go to bed hungry at night while a few others possess not millions or billions, but trillions of dollars, pilfered from the labors of the people. There has always been enough wealth on this planet to go around, yet these few men and women have been dividing up for themselves virtually all of the wealth of our world, leaving only crumbs for the rest of us to compete over. Upon these arrests, this will now change.


Many new projects will immediately be implemented under the new leadership of men and women of the highest integrity who are committed to restoring our world to the utopia it once was, governed by a constitutional and true democratic Processes. There are many men and women dedicated to this cause throughout the US Government, agencies at the Pentagon, militaries, the financial sector, as well as the private business sector who have committed so much of their lives to this effort, and they are so eager to present to humanity our new system of abundance that they have been working so diligently on in secret for years. As part of these proceedings, vast sums of wealth that have been stolen from the people will be redistributed through programs that will benefit greatly every man, woman and child on the planet. No one will be overlooked, and no one will be forgotten.


But there is more.


Upon the arrests of these many members of the criminal Cabal, the second phase of this operation will commence. Today our world is being visited by many spiritually enlightened beings who wish to openly reunite with their ancient family. These spiritually advanced men and women are assisting in the disarmament of the criminal Cabal which has controlled much of the world's military and possessed highly advanced weapons systems.


These advanced ancestors of the human race appear just as we do, although there are other beings that we shall meet as well that do not look like we do. All are ascended spiritual beings who are only here to assist us make the changes we all know deep down inside need to be made. These beings are the original planners of this world, and are the same advanced civilizations that built many of the great archaeological mysteries such as the pyramids in Egypt. They are not strangers to us at all, as we are their ancestors, all of us.


A very important social experiment has been conducted here over many years and each of us has been a part of it. We have been left here, seemingly all alone, to work things out for ourselves. This experiment is now over and it has been a tremendous success. We are now about to reunite with our brothers and sisters from the stars and be welcomed into the greater Galactic Community.


As they are many worlds that go by many names, it is easier to refer to them at this time by the name of their peaceful alliances: The Galactic Federation of Light, and the Ashtar Command.


Upon these arrests and our reunion with our Star Family, all the problems of our world will be quickly and smoothly brought into the alignment of our new Golden Age society through the leadership of souls of pure hearted intent. Through a worldwide community effort, all wars, hunger, poverty, illness, and pollution will soon be a thing of the past, as will our lives of daily servitude. Advanced technologies will replace our need to labor our lives away, and everyone will be free to pursue every creative dream they have ever had.


All this will begin with the imminent arrests of the many members of the criminal Cabal, and these arrests will take place as soon as a suitable number of our planet's citizens are aware of what these proceedings will mean for our society. This is why you are reading these words today, as many members of your human family are doing all they can to share this news with you and do their part to usher in our civilization's new Golden age of peace, freedom, and prosperity for every man, woman and child throughout our world. Celebrations the world over are certainly appropriate and are encouraged by the Galactic Federation of Light, as it is important that humanity sees these arrests as good news and not more of the bad that we have become so accustomed.


Please participate in this great cause by sharing this message on Facebook and other online social networks. This is your chance to really make a difference and be a leader of your fellow man. If we all do our part to spread this news, we will all begin to witness these high profile arrests all around the world, and this will be your sign that everything you just read is true.

Residents searching for answers to intensifying mystery force shaking North Carolina coast?

by The Extinction Protocol
March 1, 2012 – SOUTHPORT, NC  -- Big booms and shaking were felt along the North Carolina coast Tuesday that have some people worried. Now, folks are booming with big bang theories on what they say causes the mysterious rocking and rolling along the coast. “Anything that can shake the houses, not just one or two houses, but a whole neighborhood and it can be heard from Southport to Bolivia and Sunset Harbor, it has to be something big,” said Bolivia resident Erick Myles. Folks across the Cape Fear say the mysterious booms are back and this time they seem stronger than ever. People say they had different experiences depending on where they were at the time. “It's kind of freaky to me because I heard it but I didn't see anything,” said Southport resident Jamie Hoffmann. “I didn't hear the booms but I felt shaking twice,” said Boiling Spring Lakes resident Ruth Finley. Everyone we talked to said this was not the first time they have experienced the unknown sound and shaking. Some folks even say they hear the booms every week. One thing is for sure, people say they want answers. Seismologist say nothing registered on the Richter Scale Tuesday in our area and the military says it is not responsible for the sounds or shaking. Although scientists and authorities can't seem to pinpoint where the noise is coming from, residents have their own theories. “I know that there's an explanation and it has to be military,” Myles said. “The ocean,” said Hoffmann. “Something with the ocean.” Meanwhile, others said, “I think they're earthquakes," said Finley. “Tremors.”Some people we talked to said they were very concerned with the booms now that we're nearing the end of the Mayan calendar which some people believe marks the end of the world. They say the confusion surrounding the booms only builds up their theory that we're nearing the end of days. –Wway 3 News

Barack Obama Waives Rule Allowing Indefinite Military Detention Of Americans

Posted: 02/28/12 07:28 PM ET  |  Updated: 02/29/12 06:00 AM ET

Indefinite Detention

WASHINGTON -- The White House released rules Tuesday evening waiving the most controversial piece of the new military detention law, and exempting U.S. citizens, as well as other broad categories of suspected terrorists.

Indefinite military detention of Americans and others was granted in the defense authorization bill President Barack Obama signed just before Christmas, sparking a storm of anger from civil libertarians on the left and right.

The new rules -- which deal with Section 1022 of the law -- are aimed at soothing many of their gravest concerns, an administration official said. Those concerns are led by the possibility that a law that grants the president authority to jail Americans without trial in Guantanamo Bay based on secret evidence could easily be abused.

"It is important to recognize that the scope of the new law is limited," says a fact sheet released by the White House, focusing on that worry. "Section 1022 does not apply to U.S. citizens, and the President has decided to waive its application to lawful permanent residents arrested in the United States."

It also addresses a concern of the White House and advocates of civil law enforcement, insisting that even if a suspect is transfered to the military, the person can be shifted back if the administration believes it is important for national security.

"An individual required to be held in military custody under Section 1022 may be returned to law enforcement custody for criminal trial," the White House summary says. "In addition, Section 1022 does not change the FBI’s authorities to respond to terrorism threats and these procedures do not apply to any individuals held in the custody of the Department of Defense, state and local law enforcement agencies acting under their authorities, or a foreign government."

Advocates for liberties will likely find the new rules for implementing reassuring, at least while President Obama is in office. But one of their big complaints with his signing of the law is that his policies only last so long as he is in office, and they will likely step up attempts to repeal it.

The rules also set out for the first time how they will be implemented, specifying that if local law enforcers suspect they've grabbed someone who would be covered under the law, they have to notify the Department of Justice. While law enforcers continue their work, the notification sets off an extensive review culminating in a decision by the attorney general, secretary of state, secretary of defense, secretary of homeland security, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the director of national intelligence.

"The procedures ensure that an individual will be transferred from civilian to military custody only after a thorough evaluation of all of the relevant facts, based on the considered judgment of the President’s senior national security team, and not a rigid statutory requirement that does not account for the unique facts and circumstances of each case," the White House fact sheet says.

The categories of people exempted by the rules:

  • When placing a foreign country’s nationals or residents in military custody will impede counterterrorism cooperation;

  • When a foreign government indicates that it will not extradite or transfer suspects to the U.S. if the suspects may be placed in military custody;

  • When an individual is a U.S. lawful permanent resident who is arrested in this country or arrested by a federal agency on the basis of conduct taking place in this country;

  • When an individual has been arrested by a federal agency in the U.S. on charges other than terrorism offenses (unless such individual is subsequently charged with one or more terrorism offenses and held in federal custody in connection with those offenses);

  • When an individual has been arrested by state or local law enforcement, pursuant to state or local authority, and is transferred to federal custody;

  • When transferring an individual to military custody could interfere with efforts to secure an individual’s cooperation or confession; or

  • When transferring an individual to military custody could interfere with efforts to conduct joint trials with co-defendants who are ineligible for military custody or as to whom a determination has already been made to proceed with a prosecution in a federal or state court.

Three of the bill's lead Republican sponsons, Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), cautioned that Obama may be undercutting their intentions for the measure.

"Although we have not been able to fully examine all the details of these new regulations, they raise significant concerns that will require a hearing in the Senate Armed Services Committee," they said in a joint statement. "We are particularly concerned that some of these regulations may contradict the intent of the detainee provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act passed by Congress last year."

All three senators were adamant that all terrorism suspects -- American citizens or otherwise -- should be taken into military custody.

This article was updated with comment from three Republican senators supporting the measure.

UN: Killer Asteroid On Course To Strike Earth
Tuesday, February 28, 2012 6:07
39% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Click the link  above and  check out the poll on Before It's News.com
They checked the calculations and re-checked them again. Yet the terrible truth refused to go away. The cold, deadly numbers stared back at them from their computer printouts. So little doubt remained the United Nations Action Team of concerned scientists scrambled to issue an emergency warning that asteroid 2011 AG5 is going to impact Earth and could cause the explosive death of millions...

Death 'star' approaches

The 28-year countdown clock has started and it may be ticking away the seconds of life remaining to unsuspecting millions.

That's the worry some anguished scientists have as recent study of near-Earth objects has confirmed that asteroid 011 AG5 has a high possibility of striking Earth a deadly blow in 2040.

Calles for a "Situational Awareness system" have become more strident to the point where some Russian scientists have gone on record demanding an Earth defense network be established among space-capable nations immediately.

Photograph of region where asteroid 2011 AG5 was discovered

Ferevent discussions about the latest asteroid threat to Earth dominated the Vienna conference of the 49th session of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.

Target: Earth

A window that an asteroid must pass through in orbits previous to an impact event is called a "keyhole." Several keyholes exist for three other asteroids besides 2011 AG5. One of those asteroids is a continent killer, the other two—like 2011 AG5—are city killers.

Despite Russian scientist's mounting concern, NASA's JPL Near-Earth Object (NEO) Observations Program chief, Donald Yeomans of NASA's, played down the probability of an impact. Yeomans told Leonard David of SPACE.com that "Although this keyhole is considerably larger than the Apophis keyhole in 2029, it would still be a straightforward task to alter the asteroid’s trajectory enough to miss the keyhole—and hence the impact in 2040."

The scientist's reference to to the extremely dangerous asteroid, Apophis, is one that Russian astrophysicists believe will impact Earth in either 2029 or 2036. NASA dismisses their concern.

Apophis is the Greek name for the ancient Egyptian demongod Apep, also called the Uncreator.

"The prudent course of action," Yeomans added, "is then to wait at least until the 2013 observations are processed before making any preliminary plans for a potential deflection mission."

Ocean strike could be devastating

If 2011 AG5 hits the ocean, an incredible tsunami as big as 1,000 feet high traveling at near supersonic speeds would devastate coastlines of continents. Within hours, millions could die.

The economy of the entire world would suffer. Most nations would be plunges into deep recessions within weeks.

Coastal regions would be inundated

Global commerce would slow to a snail's pace and violent storms could whip the planet for months.

A land impact would not have such widespread devastation, but depending on the region hit the destruction could be horrific.

City annihilated 'like nuclear blast'

A major city hit by 2011 AG5 would be annihilated. Most buildings and people would be instantly vaporized. The kinetic force of the strike would convert to pure energy within milliseconds and detonate with a force as great as a multi-megaton nuclear bomb—much worse than the Hiroshima or Nagasaki bombs dropped in Japan.

People running for their lives as asteroid approaches

Evacuation of a city would be nearly impossible as the impact could not be calculated with accuracy until mere hours before the event. When the impact occurred it would be one of the greatest human calamaties in history.

Evacuating a major city would be nearly impossible

Shock waves radiating from the epicenter would race through the atmosphere and the ground.

Asteroid impact would set off raging 'fire hurricanes'

Massive firestorms, earthquakes, catastrophic environmental destruction as far as one hundred miles away with fierce fire hurricanes approaching speeds of hundreds of miles per hour.

Other asteroid threats now converging

Three other huge asteroids are barreling through space on a rendezvous with Earth. Because of their speed and mass a few could release the energy of 100s of thermonuclear bombs.

Asteroid tracking programs of NEOs are still an inexact science. Some astronomers admit if one of the really big NEOs blindsides us and approaches from behind the sun, on a collision trajectory with Earth, by the time the thing's discovered only weeks will remain to stop it.

Of course, with so little time remaining nothing could be done except to make final arrangements for the end of the world and the abrupt passing of the human race.

Tens of thousands of asteroids and comets haunt the space ways, some changing their orbits every time they pass near a large gravitational field like one of the outer gas giants or swing close by the sun. Their orbits are often changeable and unpredictable.

Those marked as hazardous to the health of the human race are tagged as Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHA).

Many PHAs exist—completely unknown and invisible. Some of those could be larger than Pluto.

What's really frightening is no one knows where they are, how many exist or when they might show up unannounced.

What is known? Other than 2011 AG5, three other PHAs are heading towards Earth. At this moment we have no technology to stop them.

Threat number one

Asteroid 2002 NT7 arrives February 1, 2019: This continent killer is 1.5 miles long. It's been called by some observers the most threatening asteroid ever detected.

Initial calculations of its preliminary orbit reveals it's on a collision course with Earth. Although the permutations of its orbit could change, nothing is certain in this game of cosmic billiards.

When it was discovered, astronomers assigned the killer a threat rating of +0.06. That rating on the Palermo technical scale—a risk assessment of asteroid and comet impact with Earth—awards NT7 the dubious distinction of being the first asteroid ever to be given a positive value.

Positive for the asteroid, a big, big negative for Earth. It's size and speed are calculated as meeting the threshold needed to vaporize an entire continent.

The asteroid's orbit takes 837 days traveling from the distance of the Martian orbit to just within the Earth's orbit.

As of this writing, it's due to meet up with Earth in less than 8 short years.

Will it hit? Although the likelihood's shrinking, it's still possible.

Threat number two

Asteroid Apophis arrives 2036: It's a potential city killer like 2011 AG5. Apophis is 1,000 feet across.

Approximately the size of the asteroid that exploded in the sky above the Siberian Tunguska forest during 1908, Apophis exceddingly dangerous. London, Moscow or New York could be vaporized by it.

Russian scientists are convinced that Apophis is going to hit Earth in 2036. NASA says no.

But the Russians think NASA's wrong and called major conferences to address the problem of Apophis and other PHAs like NT7. The Russians are hoping that the European Space Agency will work with them to develop a program to intercept PHAs and steer them away from Earth while there's still time.

The alternative, they argue, is almost too frightening to contemplate: millions dead, the Earth's climate destroyed, or the planet itself wiped out with mass extinction.

Although Apophis cannot cause the end of life on Earth it can cause the biggest disaster in history. Impact on land would be bad enough. If it hits a body of water—the Atlantic Ocean for example—the titanic energy released will generate a supersonic tsunami a thousand feet high.

If it impacted the north Atlantic much of the East Coast of the U.S. could be destroyed. To the east, the UK and coastline of Northern Europe would be swept away.

Will it hit? Although NASA says it's unlikely, the Russians insist it probably will impact.

Threat number three

Asteroid 1999 RQ36 arrives 2082. It's another big city killer being 1,837 feet across.

According to Maria Eugenia Sansaturio and astronomers from the Universidad de Valladolid in Spain, asteroid 1999 RQ36 has two very good chances to hit Earth during the year 2082.

Sansaturio and her colleagues are shocked. Until recently they thought the asteroid would miss Earth by a wide margin on both of the approaches during 2082.

Will it hit? The latest calculations increase the odds it will.

The world killers

Nothing yet has been tracked in the solar system that's the size of the deadly asteroid that created the Chicxulub crater in Mexico and wiped out the dinosaurs.

Yet that doesn't mean that someone, somewhere might not spot a giant PHA tomorrow—or the day after that—a leviathan tumbling through space that has the name "Earth" written across it like a gigantic tombstone.

Russians demand Earth asteroid deflection program now

Ever since the the Russian news agency, Ria Novosti, reported that Russian space scientists are very concerned over the prospects of asteroid Apophis striking Earth, much talk has erupted in some European scientific circles over the likelihood of such a disaster happening any time in the foreseeable future.

While the Russians insist the odds are high that the 1,000-foot rock will slam into the Earth—perhaps taking out a whole city of millions when it hits—the U.S. space agency NASA argues their figures show only a one in 250,000 chance of such a calamity occurring.

Yet the lead astronomer in the Russian group that met in a July 2011 conference concerning the asteroid threat to Earth, Professor Leonid Sokolov of the St. Petersburg State University, stated what NASA already knows: sooner or later one of those tumbling space rocks will hit Earth. When it does only its mass and speed will determine how much damage it will cause.

The Russians want a unified asteroid deflection program that's well funded and equipped. They believe that someday it may mean the difference between the survival of the human race or its extinction.

The dinosaurs—the most successful species ever to walk the Earth—had 200 million years to build an asteroid deflection program. They failed to evolve quickly enough and the universe wiped them out.

The human race has only been around about one percent of the time the dinosaurs had, but humans have evolved much faster. Hopefully, that evolution includes enough intelligence to accomplish what the dinosaurs were unable to do: protect the species from the dangers that roam Earth's backyard.

Time growing short

As the months progressed towards the asteroid summit chaired by the Russians, other astrophysicists and astronomers are added their thoughts.

Daniele Farigon a physicist at the Farigon of the University of Rome, proposes using nuclear powered mass-driver rockets to steer the space rock anywhere desperate Earth folk wanted it to go. She doesn't say exactly where the asteroid or comet should be ferried to…perhaps into the sun? It couldn't do any harm there.

Other visionaries have other visions. Some want to attach giant solar sails or change asteroid and comet orbits using gentle nudges. Everyone agrees that trying to blow it up with an atom bomb would be a very bad idea, Bruce Willis and Armageddon notwithstanding.

 

Russians meeting on asteroid dangers

At the conference, the European Commission considered Roscosmos's proposal to create a joint agency specifically tasked to establish a workable asteroid deflection program.

When asked if the idea really smacked of science fiction, Anatoly Perminov, the head of the Russian Federal Space Agency Roscosm, responded, “People’s lives are at stake. We should pay several hundred million dollars and build a system that would allow us to prevent a collision, rather than sit and wait for it to happen and kill hundreds of thousands of people.”

In the meantime, four clocks are now counting down towards the keyholes of four asteroids. Time grows shorter.

FARSIDE EXPLOSIONS: The Earthside of the sun is quiet, but the other side is not. On Feb. 29th, a farside sunspot erupted multiple times, hurling three CMEs over the sun's western limb. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory recorded the expanding clouds:

The odds of more farside eruptions today seem high. The odds of Earthside eruptions, however, are just the opposite. NOAA forecasters say the chances of M- and X-class solar flares are no more than 1%. Solar flare alerts: text, phone.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand things so far, the Earth rotates around the sun, these eruptions are on the far side of the sun, away from the Earths present position. Now, what I seek to know is, will we in our orbit traverse  this far side, accepting that the sun rotates also.?  So, are we traveling around the sun to a position where these CME's are erupting from?

Now, another little point. What s causing the CME's? Something on the far side must be disturbing the solar capacitor, causing it to discharge. . Now, my question, is this object in orbit around the sun, maybe a cometary orbit, and the clincher, is it coming around the sun in such a manner it will intersect with the Earth as the Earth continues in its orbit? If so we are in deep trouble........
