BREAKING NEWS: The UN Braces for Space Weather Storms
 UPDATE:-Asteroid 2012 DA14


by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media

NASA Television will provide commentary starting at 2 p.m. EST (11 a.m. PST) on Friday, Feb. 15, during the close, flyby of a small near-Earth asteroid named 2012 DA14. NASA places a high priority on tracking asteroids and protecting our home planet from them. This flyby will provide a unique opportunity for researchers to study a near-Earth object up close.

UPDATE: Space Data Association -  
Asteroid 2012 DA14

 

The Space Data Association (SDA), established by commercial satellite operators to improve the safety and efficiency of space operations, today announced the results of its analysis related to the imminent approach of the DA14 asteroid, concluding that there should be no satellites threatened by the asteroid.

A comparison between the asteroid trajectory and the public space catalog - shows that DA14 will come no closer than 1,000 km to any space object, and should not threaten any operational objects or create debris in any orbit. Additionally, an analysis of SDA participating satellites, GPS and GLONASS, shows that DA14 will come no closer than 3,500 miles (5,630 km) to any of those operational satellites.

BREAKING NEWS: The UN Braces for Space Weather Storms

 

Industrialized countries can keep track of local magnetism, ground currents, and ionization, and provide the data to researchers. Developing countries are where the gaps are, particularly at low latitudes around Earth's magnetic equator. With assistance from the UN, researchers may be able to extend sensor networks into regions where it was once politically unfeasible.

Strong solar storms can knock out power, disable satellites, and scramble GPS. "It's a global problem made worse by increasing worldwide reliance on sensitive electronic technologies." says Lika Guhathakurta of NASA Headquarters in Washington. Guhathakurta states: "By adding space weather to the regular agenda of the COPUOS Science and Technical Subcommittee, the UN is recognizing solar activity as a concern on par with orbital debris and close-approaching asteroids."

 

Space weather plays an important role in Earth's climate. For example, the Maunder minimum, a 70-year period almost devoid of sunspots in the late 17th to early 18th century, coincided with prolonged, very cold winters in the northern hemisphere. Researchers are increasingly convinced that variations in solar activity have regional effects on climate and weather that pay no attention to national boundaries, and thus can only be studied in meaningful detail by an international consortium.

"Space weather is a significant natural hazard that requires global preparedness," says Prof. Hans Haubold of the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs. "This new agenda item links space science and space technology for the benefit of all humankind."

2/12/13 Sheldan Nidle’s Update

Gaia is now on the verge of her final preparations before she begins her surface changes in earnest. It is this that makes it imperative that the opening dramas on the surface world commence immediately. Heaven informs us that the blessed celestial events required to alert our sacred associates are about to happen. The time grows short for a marvelous series of events to be inaugurated across this blessed globe.

Selamat Balik! We return with much more to tell you! The special deadline set by Heaven is practically upon us. The dark continues to scramble in vain to find a means of maintaining your shrinking world reality, but the old perceptions are fading as the new precipitates more confidently into your realm. It is only the old sacred agreement that is holding together the dark, cold world that you have known since birth. This is now set to convert into something that can bring you long life, joy, and prosperity. As you await all this, we can report that Heaven requests that we continue with our personnel replacement project mentioned last week, and also, that we assure everyone that a new reality is indeed ready to bloom once the old agreement is formally terminated. Adding impetus to the need for change is Gaia, who dearly wishes to reconfigure her surface world and take on the magnificence she once possessed so very long ago. This surface reconfiguration is part of the process of integrating dimensionally her inner and outer worlds. The Agarthans also deeply wish to be formally introduced so that a wide range of hitherto 'forbidden' knowledge can be brought forward.

All these things are on the horizon, and as the interference of the dark recedes, your reality, like the needle of a compass, is turning toward its true magnetic heading and all the joys and wonders to be found there. We look forward to this moment and are busy advocating to our sacred supervisors that these events manifest as so clearly decreed by AEON. Our liaison teams and our diplomatic corps are closely watching all the nations of the planet as your destiny involves reshaping your global governance as well as returning you to full consciousness. All this is a preamble to the resurrection of your galactic society, and we come to guide you along the final leg of your journey as swiftly as possible. The personnel chosen to be your individual mentors visit you every night with your Medical Teams in order to get to know you better. Your individual dossiers are swelling in size and you would be amazed at how complex and thorough they are. Your Med Teams work very closely with those who daily program all this complex data into your personal Light chambers.

The process of preparing your world for this massive transformation is a 24/7 focus for us. Gaia is anxious to proceed with the process of returning her much-battered surface to its pristine state, but the extent of this remodeling necessitates your moving to a safe haven first. This is why the Agarthans immediately volunteered their homeland for the building of a network of domiciles containing your individual Light chambers. This also provides them with the opportunity and the means of showing you how and why we first colonized Mother Earth, and why the dark was so adamant in covering it all up! Rediscovering your true ancient history is key to remembering who you really are. This knowledge can provide the context which will allow you to see through some of the dark's fundamental lies and to accept the truth about your true origins. The Agarthans are also looking forward to showing you at first hand that the planets of this solar system are hollow. Startling though this may sound for some of you, it only constitutes the first round of the information considered basic for you to know.

The prosperity you are shortly to possess is another step on this short journey. In this regard, remember that you are being prepared for a new reality, one that requires that you comprehend how the dark used money as a tool to control the way you thought and behaved. Now you can use this device to plan your future and do what is necessary to help family and friends to change their perceptions and adjust to living successfully in your very new reality. Our mentors' task is to bring you up to speed so that you can better take in and integrate all that you will be required to know to embrace your divine destiny. The new financial resources are to enable you to do what you feel is required, bearing in mind that you are creating a transitional society which is ultimately to morph into a galactic one. Once you achieve full consciousness, our guidance is intended to be that of a mentor, not a decision-maker. That role is your divine right, which you are to use collectively to build your own galactic society.

Namaste! We are your Ascended Masters! Your blessed Mother Earth continues her gradual process of preparing her life-bearing surface world to conjoin with her luxuriant Inner Earth realm. The Agarthans are graciously in step with these transformations and have done much to prepare for the coming relocation of humanity. We are most grateful to these wondrous Beings who have not only provided us with a much-needed base for many millennia, but have also lent us the security and peace of their inner realm to facilitate your transformation back into fully-conscious Beings. Gaia is now on the verge of her final preparations before she begins her surface changes in earnest. It is this that makes it imperative that the opening dramas on the surface world commence immediately. Heaven informs us that the blessed celestial events required to alert our sacred associates are about to happen. The time grows short for a marvelous series of events to be inaugurated across this blessed globe.

Our sacred associates now know what miraculous things are to appear in the Heavens. These will signal to them that the time has arrived to bring forth the new governance and the never-ending prosperity for all. This series of events will produce the special pronouncements which will implement the stipulations of what is called NESARA, and begin the countdown to disclosure and reunion with your Inner Earth family. This reunion is to trigger a series of special broadcasts from your space family which will introduce us, the Ascended Masters, formally to you. We have so much information to impart to you, which is essential for preparing you for your swift, final journey to full consciousness. The dark has lied to and manipulated you for millennia so as to keep your societies mired in hate, war, and disunity. Our teachings will transform all this into Love, peace, and a new global unity.

In the immediate time ahead, Heaven is to bring you a grand moment that leads to big improvements in your health and especially your sanity! Technologies long sequestered by your present governments will be fully revealed and made available to all, healing sickness, disability, addictions, and general psychological imbalances or distress. Your freedom will thus be accompanied by the means to transform your world by emptying your hospitals and prisons, and banishing all unnecessary fears caused by disease, poverty, and ignorance. We have prayed long for this divine moment. Humanity is at last to partake of the blissful fruits of Heaven, and Heaven will then rejoice and send even greater blessings to this transforming realm. It will be a time of miracles and thanksgiving! A time when your trek through the wilderness comes to a most joyous conclusion!

Today we brought you another installment about events in your world, present and future. These messages will continue until Heaven sets up a new way of informing you about what is happening around you. Be in joy, and ready to accept the many gifts that are about to return you to full consciousness. Know, dear Ones, that the countless Supply and never-ending Prosperity of Heaven are indeed Yours! So Be It! Selamat Gajun! Selamat Ja! (Sirian for Be One! and Be in Joy!)

Apocalypse by Drake (aka His Swan Song)

Apocalypse by Drake / {Comments by me}


What I am about to release is of the highest restriction in classification.  I suggest that there may be only a dozen or fewer who really know the whole story as it were/is...  It is my hope that due to the truth, no one will get into any trouble over this release.  {"Highest restriction in classification" and you're blabbing, and they're letting you live?  "Hope no one gets into any trouble"?  Playing loosey-goosey with other people's lives?  Wouldn't want you on my team.  But, c'mon.  He sounds a bit too cavalier for this to be real.}

I will not offer extreme detail on some of this as details are unimportant.  {Details are always important.  Saying this is just whitewashing his lack of knowledge.}  So, a few very general leaks are offering insights into predication's {he probably means "predictions" but interesting to note that "predicate" can also mean "to imply," which I think he does in several places} dealing with events only reported at the highest levels... OK then.

There are only a handful of people who know and about half of those have the general idea of the physics involved.  When I was asked, I told them that because of the BS routines they had played with me, they could just go wonder, take their best guess, and see if they were right.  There is an extremely large load of physics that only 3 - 5 of us {meaning he is including himself in this elite group, but obviously neglected to include Tolec and his readers} on this planet understand.  I gave a short insight into exactly this, and was discounted.  In a nutshell, none of these great minds have a clue. Hawkings and a couple of others are right, but can only make suppositions, as they do not have the whole picture {implying that he has the whole picture which, as shown below, he doesn't}. What is about to take place is 'simply' the evolutionary process of Ascension.  This is exactly a change from 3D to 4D. This does include the whole solar system...  The basis of the physics is that the fundamental vibratory frequencies of all matter is about to change. This alters all of the basis in our known physics and the matter involved. 

The ideation of catastrophe is due to the basic lack of understanding of the type of changes that are going to take place. These also fall within some areas of astral physics, which is where these poor misguided are trying to glean any info they can. They are desperate...  The descriptions of what can be found from a 3D standpoint are cause for alarm... OH my! and OOOEEE!!! The OMG RUN! kind of BS...Extraordinary fear of the unknown. 

Everyone is scared shitless from the ideas presented of the planet destroying or cleansing events that are absolutely on the way{So, is he saying an apocalypse is on the way or is he saying this is a story, which he implies in the last sentence of this paragraph?  But then he says some scenarios hold some accuracy... very ambiguous}  Of the several scenes presented, only a few hold any accuracy.  One shows a giant solar flare burning the planet, the oceans all suddenly rise several hundred feet, and the asteroid 'rain of fire' of Biblical reference.  Adding to this {adding to what, the few scenarios that hold some accuracy?}, are the 'social scientists' who absolutely know that all of society is just about to collapse {notice the lack of reference to any "social scientist," much less one who "absolutely" knows this?}...man will be subject to such large radiations that our cognitive brains will revert back to the stone age.  I imagine most have heard these stories.  {This paragraph is a garbled mess... what is true and what is story?}

The real truth {as contrasted with "unreal" truth?} is very much different than what is presented.  None of the special projects allowed views past a certain point in time. {I am assuming he is referring to Remote Viewing projects.}  This means that we are flying blind.  We have already had all but the finalization of this process. {What process?  What proof?}  12/21/12 has passed... We are into the new year... The sky has not fallen, oceans risen, and no solar flare etc.  When the general event possibilities pass without problems, then what? Just exactly what the hell is going on that no one has any accurate predictions???  Usually, when man has no idea, but knows a serious problem is coming, he hides...under the covers, under the bed, or under ground.  The idea of a hideout, to make it hard for someone to find you, shows several things. First and foremost, that the earth killing events are not coming. Second, that it is possible to survive IF you are set to do so...  {Unsubstantiated assumptions.}  This leaves only the social ideation of an apocalypse. Too bad these people don't have a clue... one would think that these people would have at least a working idea, but they don't.  {Maybe it's because guys like Drake and his ilk are intent on bedazzling people with their "brilliance" and when that doesn't work, baffling them with b.s., but in both events the intent is to NOT be clear and speak the truth.}

In the very near future the social fabric is going to change. When people are set free, they will be coming after their oppressors. This is primarily the base fact.  {Actually, since it hasn't happened, it is his assumption or belief, not a fact.}  Due to the fragile nature of all social structures, most think there will be extreme upheaval, riots, etc.  That the basis of all culture will collapse, all systems fail, etc. Violent anarchy will become the social norm.  After everyone kills everyone, the roving gangs are to visit, etc.  Adding in the natural catastrophes {so, again, he is saying there will be catastrophes, or is he?  This article is so easy to misread.}, and the world as we know it is no more.  The opposing view goes to The Plan I have outed.  BUT, first the real deal of The Changes due to The Ascension.

'We' (mankind) and everything in our solar system will undergo a basic transformation.  Most of the base laws of physics as we know them will change. This is due to the fundamental frequency changing from lower to higher. {Things cannot exist in a higher vibratory state unless they have a similar vibration.  It is very uncomfortable to impossible.  So, that which does not have a high enough vibratory rate simply can't exist in a higher state.}  Carbon is a metallic crystalline structure, this will alter into a more concise crystalline base. {If human bodies aren't composed of diamonds or pencil lead (crystalline carbon), then I'm not sure from what basis he speaks.  See (1) and (2) below.}  One of the side effects is that anything that is 'bound' outside of a natural binding, will revert back to its first basis. Many artificial bindings between mostly natural substances will be lost, they will in effect dissolve. Reverting back to their most natural state. Not all, but many and some.  Man is to undergo extraordinary metamorphosis that moves us away from some of our physical orientation to a more spiritual one. Some of our physical orientation will no longer exist.  {Tolec gives a more in-depth view of what happens to synthetics in the ascension process and his information about the crystalline bodies disagrees with Drake... it is not an upgrade based on current human-based carbon bodies that allegedly is "crystalline carbon" but a complete transmutation of human carbon-based cells to crystalline cells.  See (1) and (2) below.}


In general, most things will seem to be as they were with a few exceptions as noted.  Mankind's mind/being in its basis will also alter more towards the automatic knowing that goes along with this.  We are to be able to be in close proximity without suspicion or fear, thus most aggressive tendencies will be a thing of the past.  {"Automatic knowing" is intuition.  To be "without suspicion or fear" is to be able to totally trust your neighbor.  This is the basis of a telepathic society.}  Many of 'us' will be teaching people how to be ready and what to expect. This will allay the fear of the unknown.

According to the general plan, the transition from our present system to the original is to be as peaceful as possible.  There are to be as few interruptions of expected services as can be accomplished, etc.  From what I have heard, The Plan is being followed as closely as possible.  So I see no reason for any panic or concerns of any kind.  {How can there be "as few interruptions of expected services" given we live in a synthetic world that will dissolve during the ascension process?  This would necessarily imply that ETs will be stepping in to provide continuity of services?}

The disconnect between this and what many think or believe is very simple. No matter the tech involved, all tech has limitations. Future's are not written in stone and are not absolute until the event occurs.  All the special programs become null and void. Remember that white wall looking glass (and the others) ran into?


Several of 'us' do have the ability to 'see' timelines and into timelines, past and future.  Timelines are very interesting. After a few years of study, some might get the general idea of their existence. Most will never 'get it'. Within timelines you then have variants, variations, anomalies, variables, and additions/subtractions.  {Here, he is using the technique of "talking over people's heads."  I have no idea what he's talking about and how it interrelates, exactly, do you?  Don't feel stupid, it's a technique made to make him look like an expert/authority and his readers are "just too dumb to understand" (and most would feel reticent to show their "dumbness" by asking questions.  This included the next few lines...}  Further, there are 'realms, dimensions, spaces between, and other lesser known variants/variables.  This is very basic and must be understood as such.  This is also the existence, condition, and parameters in which I perform my duties as needed.

The two Existences are simply distinct. The good and bad, light and dark, friends and rulers. One is of Light and the other consumes light. The 'other' is termed 'void'. These are The Two existences within all of Creation.  All of the monsters, demons, boogeymen, and devils are of the Void.  All of the angels, good spirits, saviors, and God/Creator/Source are of The Light.  The battle between these 'principalities and powers' has raged for billions of years. It is the basis of all the legends, folk stories, myths, and things that go bump in the night, that are known and some that are not known.  {This is a very 3D, dualistic picture:  good/bad, light/dark, etc.}

As our planet is set free, then mankind will be tasked {by whom?} with the social restructuring to offer a planet wide agreement to keep it  all that way. {Not just social restructuring, but stewardship of the Earth and all that goes along with that task.}  This will be a new take on the idea of a One World Order. Yeah, I know, very close to another...  {Is it really that close?  Is he implying we are ditching one NWO just to embrace another just as bad?  What exactly does this sentence mean?}  Various countries will form a general council that will meet in order to decide exactly where humanitarian needs are the greatest in order to address ALL those problems. The 'wealth' will become a world class application to all mankind according to needs. {He says "according to needs," OPPT says each man, woman, child, equally.  So, who's running the true program?}  The 25th century ideas presented in the Star-Trek series best exemplifies our new social structure.  {Ah, building agreement.  Most of us wouldn't disagree with anything Star Trek, would we?  One of the ways to hook people is to build agreement.}

I hope this gives a better picture of the realities involved in all this.  {Clear as mud, Drake.}  Feel free to share this and contact me with questions.

(1) On The mechanics of "crystalline carbon" and transformation....

The only other source of information I know of regarding this subject is Tolec.  From http://www.andromedacouncil.com/FAQ-FrequentQuestions.html :

When this planet makes its change to becoming a 4D, fourth dimension/density world, what will happen to all of the things that are made of synthetic products?

ANSWER:  Even though certain end products today are made from oil, iron ore, and as another example the "rubber tree", the Hevea brasiliensis - the end products are synthetically made, their chemical structure & composition is changed.  This is what  the  'industrial age' and the 'modern era' has done to the manufacturing process.   All of these end products we use every single day also have other synthetic, artificial, non-natural products in them.  All of these kind of things,  these products, will simply disintegrate & dissipate when this planet becomes 4D world.   Keep in mind, the molecular & cellular structure of everything on this planet will change to being - crystalline, fine matter essence, spirit matter in nature.   It will become the a higher dimensional planet, a higher dimensional world of - spirit life forms, of ethereal essence, of ethereal life.  This will be the new paradigm of life on planet Earth."

How will Earth people change as we become new 4D humans... once 2014 begins?
(Notice that 3D cell walls will transmute.  This does not imply that "crystalline carbon" in human bodies is necessary for the ascension process.  Transmute means "change from one nature, substance, form, or condition into  another; transform."  Also notice the distinction between "carbon based" and "crystalline based."  Two different things.)  

ANSWER:  The most important thing to realize is that the transformation, the transition from 3D to 4D, from being a 3D person to being a 4D person… will be a smooth, ‘seamless’, painless, process. This experience will be a simple  transformation of cellular structure, from the slower, more dense, heavier, existing 3D vibratory rate body you have today – to a higher, faster, lighter, 4D vibratory rate. You will have a body that is taller, literally lighter in terms of mass, weight & density... about one tenth (1/10) of what you weigh now.  Keep in mind, your body’s molecular cellular structure will actually change. Think crystal based molecules. Your existing 3D cell walls will transmute into being crystalline based. Your 4D body, the cellular structure of your 4D body, will be based on crystalline molecules. No longer carbon based, but crystal based. Within the core, the center of each cell, it will be infused with light. Your 4D bodies will really be... very translucent.  This is a natural 4th dimensional, 4th density state.  Again, keep in mind, 4D life on Earth will be a higher dimensional life, a life of spirit, of ether... an ethereal life.  Again, keep in mind, 4D life on Earth will be a reborn world of higher dimensional life, a life of spirit, of ethereal essence... a world of ethereal life.  Everyone will be relatively tall & slim in stature. This is simply the nature of having a body composed of crystalline cellular structure. You will also be 'lighter' in terms of... being infused with light.  Not opaque like you are today, not completely translucent, but very translucent.  Your children will transform as well. But in terms of age appearance, they will continue to develop as young children, into young adults, only now along the adjusted, normal, 'time line' of thousands of years for 4th dimensional people.  For most adults who choose to remain on Earth during this time of change, you will look approximately in the 32 to 35 year old age range.  In terms of height, for a comparison, an average 3D male today at 5’10”… the equivalent 4th dimensional male will be about 7ft tall, this is the average height for a 4D man.  A 5’ 5”  to  5’ 6”  3D Earth woman will likely be about 6’ 2” living a 4D life.  An average 4D Earth man will weigh in Earth terms about: 10 to 15 pounds.  An average 4D Earth woman will weigh about: 5 to 7 pounds.  Everyone will be relatively trim, tall, slim in stature.  Again, this is simply due to the nature of having a body composed of crystalline cellular structure.  In terms of overall health, 4D Earth humans will be healthy, very healthy, full of light. With your solar system and Earth's migration into the 4th dimensional zone of space, 3D diseases will all be literally eradicated."

(2)  "Carbon is a metallic crystalline structure."  Not all carbon is crystalline.  Amorphous carbon isn't.  "For example, diamond and graphite are two crystalline forms of carbon, while amorphous carbon is a noncrystalline form."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystalline_rock#Crystalline_rocks.

"Carbon (from Latin: carbo "coal") is the chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. As a member of group on the periodic table, it is nonmetallic and tetravalent...."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon.

This is not my forte, but a cursory look seems to contradict what Drake is saying.  Maybe someone with knowledge in this area can comment further.

*********************************************************************************************************************************

Okay, I'm sorry, but I just got the image of this being a Nancy rant against NASA.  LOL! 

Only she and her elite group have the true insight... Hawkings (NASA), etc. don't have a clue... Both have failed predictions, but just keep on keeping on.  Classic gov't disinfo.

Conclusion?  A very subtle fear porn laced with some kernels of truth, half truths, conjectures, assumptions/belief,  and alleged "highly classified" information that is actually easily available on the internet, all weaved into a different kind of "apocalypse," but not such a bad one, eh?

Drake has just proved himself, at least to me.  I won't be posting any more of his crap here. 

FYI, from what I have gleaned, Ascension is a process that has been going on for the last few decades.  We are further along in the process now, so it is becoming more noticeable.  As we move further into 4D, we will see more people "checking out" who are unable to raise their vibrations.  His allusion to the social scientists is correct, though.  I think the madness we continue to see (such as zombies, mass killings, etc.) are also a symptom and these will also continue to escalate.  So, I don't see a "big bang" effect at this point, just a continual progression.  While Tolec states the progression will be painless, he has also stated that at some point those not making the change will be relocated elsewhere, so I don't think everyone is going to die.  Those exiting early are those whom I think are on the fine-line and what most of us can take, they can't.  Sheldan says everyone will be going via metamorphosis chambers.  Some say only those who are spiritually ready will go into 4D with Earth.  There are varying viewpoints on this but by continuing to work on your own personal spiritual improvement you will ride these shifting tides more comfortably.

CISPA is back! Problem-Reaction-Solution In Effect

Fake (in my opinion) hacker group Anonymous is doing its job quite well.  They attack, Congress comes up with the solution -- reducing online freedoms.  Problem-Reaction-Solution in its purest form.  The internet has been a thorn in the side of the powers that be, as so many have awakened to their wrongdoings by researching online.  Will they be able to stamp out the internet in its current form before enough people wake up and put a stop to it?

CISPA’s back: Hacking, online espionage resurrect cybersecurity bill

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection act (CISPA) will be reintroduced before the US House next week following a spate of cyber espionage and hacking attacks. Civil liberties advocates have criticized the bill for violating privacy laws.

The House Intelligence Committee’s Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and ranking member Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) will attempt to breathe new life into CISPA on Wednesday.

The bill will be identical to the version of CISPA that passed the House last spring, but was defeated on the Senate floor in August mainly because the upper house was hammering out its own cyber security bill.

CISPA would allow for the voluntary sharing of Internet traffic between private companies and the government. The bill is purportedly intended to help the US government, especially the intelligence community, to investigate cyber threats and ensure the security of networks against cyber attack, especially those emanating from countries like China and Iran.

The bill would also allow the federal government to provide classified cyber threat information to private firms, and protect them from legal action in the course of sharing private information.

Opponents of the bill say it would allow companies to hand over a user’s private browsing information to the government, allowing authorities to spy on American citizens rather than simply track down cyber threats...
