Hundreds of Quakes Near Puerto Rico; Many of Mag. 3.0 and Higher | |
|
An ongoing swarm of earthquakes has been occurring over many weeks with no end in sight. They are appearing just off the Puerto Rico northeast coastline. This is a known subduction zone called the Puerto Rico Trench subduction zone similar to the Cascadia subduction zone and the Sumatra subduction zone.
Scientists are now collecting data that could better help predict an event which would have devastating consequences as the result of a tsunami hitting the Caribbean region and the US east coastline.
If confirmed by analysis of the recently acquired ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS) data, the locations of the tremors at the plate interface may have profound implications about the capability of the Puerto Rico Trench subduction zone to generate large earthquakes and following tsunami.
The tectonic profile of the Puerto Rico Trench subduction zone is comparative to the Sumatra subduction zone; the site of the 9.0 earthquake that triggered the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004 killing some 250,000 people. This similarity has caused great concern of a potential tsunami hazard to the United States east coast and the northeastern Caribbean.

| .. Yellowstone Caldera's Pushing Earth | |
 The movement of the earth's crust, Smith said researchers have found a push west of 4 millimeters, or .16 inch, a year. Although he said that may not sound like much, the movement from Yellowstone across the entire Great Basin to Reno, Nev., is only 12 millimeters a year. So, one-third of the entire shift is occurring in a very small area of about 80 kilometers, he said. Smith says "As the crust is pushed, geophysicists are seeing a clockwise rotation of the different tectonic plates across the interior of the West. Yellowstone affects a much bigger area, 10 times as big as Yellowstone Park, - so it plays a major role in the plate tectonics framework."

| Mitch Battros Research of the Sun - Earth Connection and 2012 | |
|
PRESENTATION OUTLINE: Mitch Battros presents fascinating, and sometimes shocking, research from the world's top scientists. After years of dialogue with these experts, Mitch has been accepted into the guarded halls of NASA, NOAA, ESA, Royal Observatory, the US Naval Observatory and other highly esteemed scientific bodies. In addition to the latest research on the Sun's influence on our weather, Mitch will also present ground-breaking evidence of how the Sun and other celestial orbs produce 'charged particles' and their impact on humanity. 
Solar Cycle 24 has begun - and it has been predicted by NASA, NOAA and ESA to be up to 50% stronger than its 'record breaking' predecessor Cycle 23 which produced the largest solar flare ever recorded. The Sun will reach its 'apex' (maximum) in late 2011 into 2012. "I believe it will be the magnetic influence produced by the Sun which will usher in what is described by our ancient ancestors as "the transition" bringing us to a new state-of-being". (Mitch Battros)

Another Voice Against 2012 Mania
The world is not going to end in 2012. If anyone reading this has any doubt about that, you need to read each and every one of Ian O'Neill's articles here on Universe today about every facet of the 2012 mania. And then if you still have any doubts, here's another voice you might recognize who will tell you the same thing: Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson of the Hayden Planetarium and NOVA ScienceNow, has a few choice words for the entities out there spreading fear and disinformation (and looking to make a few bucks along the way) about everything that could possibly (not) happen in 2012.
I also recommend listening to the February 2, 2009 edition of The Planetary Society's Planetary Radio, where David Morrison, Interim Director of the Lunar Science Institute and Planetary Radio host Mat Kaplan have a discussion (near the end of the show) about how the completely false claims of the 2012 fear mongers are needlessly scaring people. Its sobering.

A Tear in Earth's Magnetic Field?
The Breakdown takes on The Core
Posted 02.11.2009 at 8:09 am Comments
From the US PopSci team
In keeping with our movie physics theme of the past few weeks, it seems appropriate to take a look at the trailer from the action "science" disaster film The Core. As with Armageddon and its deadly asteroid, The Core starts with an interesting premise -- the possible disappearance of the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic field shields the majority of the atmosphere from incoming charged particles (electrons and protons), redirecting them along the field lines towards the magnetic poles.
We can forgive the film for presenting an exaggerated view of the resulting cataclysmic natural disasters. It is really just an old-fashioned disaster movie, after all. However, don't be fooled by the realistic-sounding scientific explanations, which more often than not are just plain incorrect -- sometimes even when they have no effect on the plot. For example, at one point Dr. Keyes (Aaron Eckhardt) explains to his geophysics class that as a wave passes from one medium to another its frequency changes. Not true. It's the wavelength that changes. A small detail? Maybe. But how hard is it to at least look that one up?
Once The Core gets cooking, we can actually find so many outlandish scientific absurdities that it leaves our head spinning (even if the Earth's core has stopped, as it does in the movie). It's entertaining to pick them out on your own, and anyway we don't have time here for a comprehensive list.
However, as an example, pay attention to what the world-famous geophysicist Dr. Zimski (Stanley Tucci) is saying about 45 seconds into the trailer, in his explanation to the military leaders of the free world. Zimski informs us that when the magnetic field collapses we will "literally be cooked by microwaves"! (In fact, later in the film we are treated to a glimpse of how deadly these microwaves can be when they fry the Golden Gate Bridge through a "tear" in the magnetic field.) It has the ring of plausibility. Microwave ovens do a pretty good job of heating up last week's leftover chicken wings, after all.
But the interesting thing about microwaves is that they are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light. Electromagnetic radiation has no charge! The Earth's magnetic field shields the atmosphere from charged particles. It has no effect on electromagnetic radiation. If the Earth's magnetic field disappeared tomorrow, there would be absolutely no difference in the amount of microwave radiation impinging on the surface of the Earth. You wouldn't be cooked any more than you are now when you go outside on a sunny day.
Because this is a major plot device, we just thought it might be worth pointing out.

Cosmologists Search for Gravity Waves to Prove Inflation Theory
During the next decade, cosmologists will attempt to observe the first moments of the Universe, hoping to prove a popular theory. They'll be searching for extremely weak gravity waves to measure primordial light, looking for convincing evidence for the Cosmic Inflation Theory, which proposes that a random, microscopic density fluctuation in the fabric of space and time gave birth to the Universe in a hot big bang approximately 13.7 billion years ago. A new instrument called a polarimeter is being attached to the South Pole Telescope (SPT), which operates at submillimeter wavelengths, between microwaves and the infrared on the electromagnetic spectrum. Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that Cosmic Inflation should produce the weak gravity waves.

Denver International Airport And The NWO
Posted by JRed So, my focus lately has obviously been squarely upon the coming New World Order (the prophesied one-world government) as the political apparatus that the coming Antichrist will use to enslave the entire world. I'm sorry, but it looks like we'll be spending some more time on this subject again this week especially today with the signing of the Stimulus Bill only hours away.
Just when I think things couldn't possibly get any more surreal (after the UK's "Operation Blackjack" series and our look at FEMA Camps and prophecy) I stumble upon something that only seems to confirm our recent suspicions.
Does anyone else remember where the government of the North American Union as presented in "Operation Blackjack" was told to be centralized? Give yourself a big pat on the back if you said Denver, CO here in the United States.
Nothing terribly unusual about that except for the fact that I just learned that there are SEVERAL VERY SUSPICIOUS (if not downright creepy and inappropriate) facts about Denver, CO, but specifically about the Denver International Airport that's located there. And when I write "several very suspicious" facts I mean "facts" in the form of EVERYTHING! Everything from it's construction, symbolism, monuments, artwork, murals, infrastructure, etc.
If you're new to this information I'm sure you wondering what in the world could possibly be so controversial about an airport. It's a good question, but we're not talking about just another airport here. No doubt in my mind about that after what I've just seen and read.
But don't take my word for it. Let's see what others have to say. These are quotes from people who have stepped foot in the building and who have actually seen the place with their own eyes:
"Travelers are in for a uniquely Colorado experience when they pass through Denver International Airport. The works of art that grace the airport create a journey through our state's history and diversity. Like all successful public art, the program at DIA exemplifies an expression of ourselves and provides an opportunity to educate others."
Mayor Wellington B. Webb
"What in God's name is that all about? Man, that's sick!"
Doug McGivens of Glen Burnie, MD while looking at the mural
"Ah, terrific! I don't need this right now. What a horrible thing to have up for people to have to look at!"
Karen D. from Broomfield, CO after her 8-year old daughter got upset at seeing the mural
Hmmm, what in the world could cause such visceral reactions in people? We're talking about an airport in Denver, CO right? What gives?
WELCOME TO DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Carl Sagan famously quipped, "What rescues us from insignificance is the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers." Let's proceed in that spirit.
Denver International Airport is the only major airport to be built in the United States in the last 25 years. I guess that destined it to be special from its inception. Even so, no one would've thought it would become the Holy Grail of the New World Order (the prophesied one-world government).
For those of us who haven't had the privilege of setting foot in this airport that resembles a temple, I guess the best place to begin today's field trip to the terrifyingly prophetic is to look at the very first statue that greets all visitors as they enter this facility. Many have accurately called it the "Demonic Horse Statue" and here's why:
Yes, as a 29-year-old male who loves football I realize that Denver's NFL team is the Denver Broncos and that this could simply be a way to resonate that in the minds of people who visit that city. Even if that's the case, does the mustang statue really need red, glowing eyes? Not only that, but once you see what else is depicted at this airport - - an airport like none other anywhere else in the world - - I'll ask you to take another look at this image (along with the rest of them) and contrast them with the imagery and symbolism God gives us through prophecy when describing the Antichrist, his one-world political system, and the Tribulation during the end times.
Apparently, I'm not alone with my sentiments since even the secularists in Denver are chiming in on this hideous and disturbing creation. Be sure to read the full article because the woman being interviewed (who's also leading the movement to remove this sculpture) makes some logical, common sense points regarding the decision to include this piece at this facility. It defies logic and Business 101 when the goal is to attract more visitors and tourists that will, in turn, generate more revenue for the city.
Another interesting piece that greets you upon entry is the capstone, or the dedication stone for the airport, which has a can't miss Masonic symbol on it. This capstone also has a time capsule embedded inside it. It sits at the south eastern side of the terminal which, by the way, is called "The Great Hall," which is what Masons refer to their meeting places as. And on this thing it mentions the "New World Airport Commission." I've never heard of that, have you? That's because it doesn't exist! So why include this on the capstone then? We'll answer that a little later. Take a look:
Before we continue by looking at the most sinister imagery and symbolism present there, let's first read up on what we know about its construction. We'll even ignore the fact that the runways from Jeppensen Maps clearly, and unmistakably proves that the layout for that part of the airport is in a form none other than the infamous swastika (just in case you think I'm being biased in my interpretation)!
Even though the area is basically flat (with a stunning view of mountains all around, since it’s in a valley), the expense and time was taken to extensively lower some areas and raise others. They moved 110 million cubic yards of earth around. This is about one third of the amount of earth they moved when they dug out the Panama Canal! Can't remember hearing about another airport ever doing that before. Do you?
The airport has a fiber optic communications core made of 5,300 miles of cable. That’s longer than the Nile River! That’s from New York City, NY to Buenos Aires, Argentina! The airport also has 11,365 miles of copper cable communications network. Can you think of any other airport anywhere in the world that has that sort of state-of-the-art power?
The fueling system can pump 1,000 gallons of jet fuel per minute through a 28-mile network of pipes. There are six fuel hold tanks that each hold 2.73 million gallons of jet fuel. This is somewhere in the "no-one-will-ever-ever-need-this-much" range. I wonder why they need a system that large?
Granite was actually imported from all over the world - - Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America - - and used in making the main terminal floor. This is a ridiculous expense especially when you’re already over budget. They say, "The floor pattern echoes the roof design and subtly reinforces passenger flows." Ah, subliminal messages to get you to move your butt! It might look pretty, but would any of us know Chilean granite from Chinese granite? Or would any of us even care as we're just passing through to catch our flight? You can dye rock if it’s colors you’re after. Cheaper rocks. I wonder what the "stones have power" people say about this (reference to the secret society belief system for those of you new to all of this)?
The huge, main terminal is Jeppesen Terminal, which is named after Elfrey Jeppesen, who was the first person to create maps specifically for aviation (the company is still in business today). This area is known as the "Great Hall." Odd because it’s said this is what the Masons name their meeting places (I believe one of the video clips you'll see in a moment will touch upon this). Fascinating in light of what we've looked at in this forum lately.
It has over 6 million square feet of public space! The airport brags that they have room to build another terminal and two more concourses and could serve 100 million passengers a year. The airport flew 36 million people in 2001.
The only way to get to the other two concourses/terminals from the Great Hall, or vice versa, is via the airport’s train system.
There are more than 19 miles (30 km) of conveyor belt track, luggage transport cars and road in their own underground tunnels that move baggage and goods. They’re so huge you can drive trucks through them, and some remain unused.
The entire roof of DIA is made of 15 acres of Teflon-coated, woven fiber glass. The same material is on the inside as a layer. The place looks like a bizarre scene out of the film "Dune," comprised of huge, spiked tent-like structures. The material reflects 90% of the sunlight and doesn’t conduct heat. So, you can’t see into the place with radar or see heat signatures. Now, why would an airport need that capability?
Also to be noticed about this highly unusual airport in Denver are its shocking murals. Have a look at this eerie artwork and decide for yourself if this is necessary at an airport of all places:
Now, ask yourself if you've ever been in an airport - - anywhere else in the world - - that employs this kind of in-your-face artwork ripe with intense symbolism. Next, even if you can convince yourself that there's nothing suspicious about having so much artwork at a major airport, ask yourself why a city and its airport (in an attempt to draw more visitors and tourists) would choose such frightening depictions that are more repulsive than they are inviting. You saw the quotes at the beginning of this column.
One final note on the murals that will be of interest to everyone is the fact that they were painted by a man by the name of Leo Tanguma. By the way, Leo's of Mayan descent, which adds a whole new layer of context since I think we're all familiar with the highly publicized Mayan prophecy that portrays the Mayan Calendar showing time itself ending on December 21, 2012.
Further anomalies of this New World Airport are nothing but chilling to comprehend. We'll now spend a few moments looking at these anomalies.
Take, for instance, the rumors surrounding the foreign words and symbols that decorate the floor throughout the airport. I don't want to get into all the details here, but suffice it to say that this only adds to the mystery. A native American studies student from UCLA translated the phrase "DZIT DIT GAII" (which is carved into the floor in the DIA) as Navajo Indian for "The Mountain That Is White." There are other floor inscriptions that just state "Mt Blanca" upon the floors at DIA. Mt Blanca was one of four sacred sites to the Navajo Indian culture in Colorado. Tradition says that the Holy People transformed this sacred mountain, and attired it with precious gems of white beads and pure white and black feathers. The white symbolizes purity and gentleness. It also symbolizes the reproduction of the Navajo people.
Here's where things take a secret society/New World Order twist that will knock your socks off! White Mountain could also refer to Mt Blanc (in France), which was the location where the Knights Templar signed their charter (the Knights Templar are a Masonic chapter or another potential Masonic link!). In relation to the signing of the charter, a Templar from Salzberg wrote: "They gathered to form a New Order to keep alive the words which God had granted Solomon, in a dream..." So, once again, we have another curious and potential link to this New World Order that every major publication and politician has been talking about.
Typically, all you find on the floor of any other airport is dirt, garbage, and gum. You can see the weird images and read the expert and historical analysis of them here. Believe me, it only adds to the mystique and makes a true blue conspiracy seem all the more likely. We'll return to this interesting fact a little later due to the potential implications for us.
What else? Here's a photo of a Millimeter Wave Scan Machine set up in the main entrance hall at Denver International Airport. The machine swivels back and forth, searching people who didn't even know they were being scanned. I'm sure some of the people scanned weren't passengers; they were simply coming to pick up or drop off friends and relatives.
What you don’t see are 8 sub-basements, with air vents jutting out of the surrounding barren acres of fenced lots that have barbed wire along their tops - - pointing in (you saw that in one of the videos above and why that's an unusual arrangement designed to keep people in as opposed to people out). Whole buildings that were constructed below ground level and then buried as is (the excuse being they were "built wrong"). What's the purpose for that? An entire runway constructed - - then buried - - under a layer of dirt and "forgotten" conveniently by those who put it there on the taxpayer's dime. Why did they do that? The list of workers and companies who were fired so no one would have a "Big Picture" of what's really going on there. Why the secrecy for an airport?
Local residents claim that ever since the '80s (and possibly the '70s), the local government constantly pushed a notion on the state that somehow Denver "needed" to be considered as important a city as New York or Los Angeles or Chicago. The city wanted to reap huge profits off of tourism, and pushed for anything that would encourage people from all across the world to come to Colorado as if it had something really valuable to offer other than mountains and nature. Yet, culturally, Denver has always been a big void!
The aquarium - - hundreds of miles from any major body of water - - sure was a great idea! When the airport was built, they had to create brand new roads just to get to it, which are about 10 miles from any other streets and highways, and quite far from downtown Denver. Walking through the airport is like walking through a ghost town because of its immense size, regardless of how well run it's supposed to be. Who voted for and paid for the new airport? People who were also convinced that somehow Denver is an important cultural center, and that it would bring enough people in to put the city on par with a "real" city. Plenty of people moved to Denver, creating a boom, and pricing out most of the people who already lived there.
Eyewitness accounts also say that after 9/11, the airport stepped up to almost suspiciously neurotic security levels. Why there was some notion that Denver would be a target of terrorist hits (aside from the Federal Center) was absurd. It does, however, make one wonder if maybe there really is something suspicious going on there because the airport put on an awfully big show of arms for a small cow town. They might as well have made t-shirts that read: "I-went-to-Denver-and-all-I-got-was-this-t-shirt-and-a-security-strip-search-at-DIA-because-they-thought-my-Coach-purse-looked-suspicious."
That joke reminds me of another unusual story just reported by Fox News last week about a fugitive who was captured at DIA. His crime? He was wanted in Missouri and Texas for robbery and escape, and for attempting to steal luggage at the DIA. Ok, that's obviously a crime, but since when do criminals steal luggage? And since when do crimes like this warrant a national news headline and story on Fox News? I never read about arrests of this kind happening at any other airport although I'm sure they happen all the time in this post-9/11 world. I'm just stating that it's strange, and we've already documented in previous posts how these groups like to communicate with each other through seemingly innocuous events and the news.
Also to be noted about this area is that in 2005 the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) relocated the headquarters of its Domestic Division, which is responsible for operations and recruitment in the United States, from the CIA's Langley headquarters to Denver, and that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has based its much feared International and Domestic Counter Terrorism Forces there too. More intrigue indeed.
It is also curious to note that the United States Northern Command (recently given new powers to unleash U.S. Military Forces against its own citizens as reported here in regards to the Army battalion deployed here on U.S. soil in the event of civil unrest for the first time in our country's history) and the U.S. Space Command are both located less than 100 miles from Denver at Peterson Air Force Base, and which Russian Military Analysts state is the single most defensively protected area on our entire planet.
Take another look at Part 3 of "Operation Blackjack," which clearly presents Denver, CO as the headquarters of the new government that rules over this North American Union political entity (and pay close attention to the individual who I view as a definite Antichrist figure if not the Antichrist himself were this very scenario to unfold exactly as foretold here):
What's with all the pop culture references pointing to Denver, CO? Ready for your head to spin some more? Stephen King published a book in 1978 called "The Stand" that went on to not only become a best-seller, but it was also adapted into an exclusive and quite popular TV Miniseries.
It's a a post-apocalyptic horror/science fiction novel that describes the odyssey of one of the last human survivors in this country after the population is decimated by a plague. The story begins with the escape and spread of a human-made biological weapon, a superflu (influenza) virus known formally as "Project Blue" and colloquially as "Captain Trips." The epidemic leads to the death of most of the human population in North America and parts of the world. He writes that 99.4% of people are susceptible to Captain Trips, and the disease has a mortality rate of 100%. King outlines the total breakdown and destruction of society through widespread violence, the failure of Martial Law to contain the outbreak (interesting mention), and eventually the death of virtually the entire population. The human toll is also dealt with, as the few survivors must care for their families and friends, dealing with confusion and grief as their loved ones ultimately succumb to the flu, which has inexplicably spared them.
What are the odds of that after we just saw one of the questionable murals depicting some kind of chemical/biological - plague type of event? Wait, there's more!
Guess where the protagonists of that story have to travel to? You guessed it! The state of Colorado! Here's where things become even more surreal than they already are. A group of survivors are drawn together by their shared dreams of a 108-year-old black woman from Hemingford Home, Nebraska, whom they see as a refuge and a representation of good in the struggle of good versus evil. This woman, Abagail Freemantle (known as "Mother Abagail"), becomes the spiritual leader of this group of survivors, directing them to Boulder, CO, referred to as "The Free Zone" (officially "The Boulder Free Zone"), where they begin to reestablish a democratic society; much of this section of the book involves the struggles to create an orderly society more or less from scratch.
Remarkable that a best-selling novel written in 1978 (one that was adapted into a widely viewed TV Miniseries) has a plot similar to what the DIA portrays through its various artwork, and a savior-like persona in the form of a black woman based in Colorado who conjures up thoughts of sharing many similarities with our new President Barack Obama and his preference for Denver, CO as a key place in his continuing rise to power.
On second thought, the fact that the TV Miniseries had so many big name actors, and high production quality for a made-for-television film of its time makes me question why it never released as a movie on the big screen. Think that one through for a few seconds and you'll probably reach the same conclusions as I just did.
I swear my brain is about to turn into mush after processing all of this! It's just beyond comprehension if I didn't see and read it with my own eyes and given what I know to be the truth makes me want to shout this from the rooftop.
ARE WE ABOUT TO WITNESS THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER?
Oh yeah, and guess who will be in Denver today to sign the Stimulus Bill? You know, the Bill that is rumored to contain many unacceptable things (like massive new gun control laws); things we can only imagine at the time of this writing because none of our elected officials did their job by reading this Bill in full? None other than President Barack Obama.
An interesting location to choose to do this at by a man worshipped by many as "The One" who people like Henry Kissinger say will finally be able to implement the New World Order. It boggles the mind! Take everything we just looked at in this column and now throw in the fact that President Obama will sign the most important bill in our country’s entire history (and also the most expensive in all of history!) at what seems to be the planned World Headquarters for this New World Order - - Denver, CO - - and not in Washington D.C. as had been expected!
Now let's recall that earlier we demonstrated that it was Mt Blanc (in France), which was the location where the Knights Templar signed their charter (the Knights Templar are a Masonic chapter or another potential Masonic link). Is President Obama poised to sign a new, modern-day charter that will be responsible for finally ushering in this New World Order? How can anyone ignore this kind of obvious symbolism?
It was also in Denver, CO where President Barack Obama accepted his party's nomination to run for the office of President of the United States. Remember the unusual design and symbolism used to create the stage that he stood on to give his speech? What the heck is going on here?
Further evidence of President Obama’s capitulation to the New World Order lies not only in the location he has chosen to open this new, and catastrophic, chapter of this nation, but also in the date he has chosen to sign this Bill overturning all the American people have held sacred - - February 17th.
The reason for this being so is that February 17, 2009 falls upon one of the most important Illuminati astrological "signs of great changes" with the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter, and which in its most simplistic sense means “with the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter, you have an abundance of energy and enthusiasm to take on tasks that would frighten all but the most courageous.”
To his choosing of Denver to be the location of his capitulation to the New World Order for the American people, President Obama has plunged this nation deep into the heart of Illuminati symbolism, and nowhere is this more evident than in the mysterious Denver International Airport as we've just seen. Even the Governor was surprised as evidenced by his comments Sunday: "Governor Bill Ritter on Sunday lauded the impending visit of President Barack Obama, who on Tuesday will sign the economic-stimulus package in Denver, as a sign of Colorado's rising status. Calling the President's visit 'a history-making honor.'" You bet it is!
I had to laugh when I read the double entendre contained within the news' reason why the President chose to sign the Bill in Colorado as opposed to Washington D.C.: "The symbolism is obvious for Colorado, where a growing green-energy industry will draw major benefits from the stimulus." Yeah, the symbolism is obvious although for reasons entirely foreign to that particular journalist.
Did I mention that President Obama plans to visit Phoenix, AZ tomorrow to give his plan on how to deal with the housing crisis? In case that doesn't strike you as being terribly out of the ordinary just know that the phoenix is one of the Illuminati's highest military and spiritual symbols. This is a HUGE sign, since the Illuminati use many resuscitation rituals in their training, where the person is brought into a death, or near death state, then "resuscitated" and told that Baal (Satan), or some other entity, "gave them life" and they owe their new life to him and the group. Thus, the phoenix is a huge trigger and symbol.
TICK, TOCK, TICK, TOCK...
Let's try to recap. The new Denver International Airport has been open since 1995, and although it's been praised as "The Nation's Best Run Airport," there seems to be a lot of weird rumors and conspiracies attached to its 53 square miles above ground facility let alone its Top Secret 88.5 square mile, 8 level, underground, high-security fortification.
What are the odds of all of this!?! Furthermore, ask yourself why all of this is staring us in the face screaming for our attention like some self-absorbed toddler at this very point in time with such ferocity? Why now? I believe this is God's way of trying to alert us about what's coming. As for those behind this structure, I think it's safe to say that they're not trying to tell us something as if they're trying to warn us; they're trying to rub it all in our face. How can we draw any other conclusion when the symbolism is as explicit as a manifesto? They're fingerprints are all over this, but we continue to ignore it all out of sheer ignorance.
The genius of all of this is you can't explain it to laypeople without sounding completely insane. Then again, I've been used to that for quite some time as a student of prophecy; a watchman on the wall if you will. The one good thing to come from all of this is that for those who still remain hardened skeptics when it comes to the Bible and the prophecies found within its pages, I'd venture to guess that you have to be becoming more and more convinced that the sheer volume and complexity of all of this is way beyond the scope of mere human agency like I've suggested all along.
I'm not saying there's not a boatload of intentional symbolic mischief out there, but that is just a very small piece of the puzzle. Again, these powerful groups and individuals who lurk in the shadows are actively trying to worship their god (Satan) publicly through the language of rituals and symbols, but they are only given free reign to the extent that God allows it to fulfill His ultimate plan for humanity.
We've looked at some heavy - - but factual and independently verifiable - - things here over the past week. This is the type of knowledge that could truly save your life. I pray with all my heart that the Lord gives you an open mind to go along with your open eyes and ears so that you will finally see that His Word can be trusted. If His Word can be trusted than it becomes clear that we are on the cusp of the prophesied Tribulation. If His Word can be trusted then you can only blame yourself if you choose to ignore the truth and turn your back on Him and his free gift of forgiveness and salvation once again.
Don't make the same mistake you've been making for years. I know you can hear His voice, and that you've experienced Him trying to get your attention lately. Do you think that's a mere coincidence? It's not! It's because He knows that time is short and he doesn't want to see you or anyone perish for eternity (2 Peter 3:9).
Choose life. Choose Him. Make that decision while you still can because time is short!
The story of America, when finally written, will be one of a people struggling to go from rags to riches, and of the few who rose to the top and destroyed the rest. All the rhetoric about a nation of opportunity is merely fiction for most. In order to rise to the highest levels, one's ambition must be greater than the love for our fellow man or country. One has to abandon all ethics, morals and commit to a secular god of greed and power. Mega-corporations, led by intertwined individuals, define the rules for how nations will act and the amount they must pay. These individuals control the aspiring novices and only allow the most dedicated to rise from the local level. As these youngsters are impregnated with the rules and then show their loyalties to the cause, they may advance. Importantly, they must be willing to embrace the very essence of "getting ahead" (i.e., complete obedience to economic growth regardless of consequence). It is the amount that one can bring to the coffers that matters, regardless of how it is achieved or whether the result is detrimental to man or his environment. The end, acquiring and amassing wealth, justifies the means.
Are We Ready For The One World Order
Are We Ready For The One World Order
In April, 1981, in one evening, I was to write these words which later were to become much maligned in certain Christian circles -- ones I was to eventually learn had deeply compromised with New Age/Apostate interests such as Paul N. Temple and his Institute of Noetic Sciences as well as Rev. Moon and his Unification Church. They were to become part of a chapter in my 1983 released book, THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW. They were part of a chapter entitled “THE AGE OF AQUARIUS? OR THE AGE OF THE ANTICHRIST.” If you have my book which has been out of print since Huntington House went out of business in 2003, you will find this chapter from pages 36 to 43. These words were brought to mind by learning that today Mikhail Gorbachev, the former Russian Prime Minister and open devotee (per Wayne Peterson) of "Maitreya the Christ", introduced a resolution into the European Parliament for a World Water Authority. Here was what I wrote then in a book which frankly seems more current today: "The goals of the Movement include a mandatory New World Religion [happening rapidly with the establishment of the UN based Alliance of Civilizations with cooperation from United Religions and similar groups], establishment of a "universal credit card" system, establishment of a World Water Authority, World Health Authority, WORLD WATER AUTHORITY [emphasis added]; establishment of a universal tax and a universal draft which is truly universal -- everybody is eligible worldwide..."
CLarion Call For A New Global Religion Under Obama: "A New Faith Is Needed To Unify Humankind As We March Into The Future" Barack Obama is now leader of the most influential nation on earth. Are we yet capable of dancing to his song of hope? Obama was elected by default by a desperate nation drowning in faithlessness and cynicism. He was simply the best bet for change. We are a society shorn of hope and faith. Every past society that devolved to a world view only admitting the materiality of the physical world eventually disintegrated. On the other hand, every political and spiritual genius of his particular time understood human nature and its needs. Those superior minds attempted to unite people "in one mind" -- of moral rectitude and faith; of faith in the ultimate triumph of goodness. If Barack Obama is indeed the political unifier that Americans -- and us -- have put our atrophied hopes in, perhaps he will take the steps so necessary to heal his nation of its distrust and cynicism. Perhaps he will have the courage to harness the will to believe in some transcendent goodness. But he must lead. He must demonstrate how to believe again in what is demonstrably true: That there is something out there that is greater and grander than the individual. We need faith, but the faiths of our fathers are tired now, or are spent forces. We must recognize this whether we are Muslims, Sikhs, Jews or Christians. We are now a global village, and only a global world view will suffice. As in the past, this new and unifying faith must be novel, vibrant and inclusive. In this new global era of widespread education and immediate communication, this new faith must also be credible. It must align with scientifically obtained knowledge yet be aware also of the undiscoverable -- the great mysteries that hold us rapt and in awe. The marriage of a believable faith with the husbandry of government is the union that must be contracted. Only then can there be a United Nations, only then shall we have peace on Earth and goodwill toward all.

Well, I know I said it before, but I think you saved our asses (at least for a while) against a Sears Tower demolition. I have little doubt the Mossad/neocon factions are plotting Plan B. And there's no way Obama has the wherewithal or even the foreknowledge to stop it...

Dear Theresa,
I only wish that I still had the strength to do radio interviews. I believe that your program at KBOO, Presswatch, is one of the most enlightened and best informed venues in which I have had the honor of speaking.
I'm honored by the conclusion that you have reached about my leadership of Ghost Troop, my cyber-intelligence unit, during the Chicago mission of 2006. Yesterday's article by Major Fox and me has caused many readers to remark the freak coincidences that:
-- Larry Silverstein, the purchaser of the World Trade Center, purchased Chicago's Sears Tower on the very day of the 3/11 (2004) Madrid bombings, between which and 9/11 (2001) there are exactly 911 days.
-- Sears Tower is exactly 110 stories tall. In human history there have only been three buildings with 110 stories. The other two, WTC 1 & 2, were the first skyscrapers in history to collapse as a result of fire -- on 9/11. Last week, the Mandarin Orange Hotel in China burned from top to bottom without a collapse.
-- 5/3/06, the date we predicted for the false flag attack flag alert, was the 33rd anniversary of the completion of the Sears Tower. I had no idea of this most revealing factoid during the mission, and only discovered it recently: http://www.searstow er.com/propertyp rofile.html
I hope that other open-minded patriots like you, who are concerned about the dangers of another 9/11-style attack, will refer to and examine the article yesterday by Major Fox and me:

COLUMBIA — The sounds of bullets echo across the hills of Rocky Fork Lakes Conservation Area shooting range off U.S. 63, cracking through the air at nearly a thousand feet per second before being swallowed by nearby mounds of dirt and cardboard targets. Inside the gully is the long column of gunmen, squeezing the triggers and sending fire screaming from the muzzles in rapid flickers of light.
For Chris Everman, one of the shooters at the range Tuesday afternoon, it’s just stress relief.
“Blowing something up is always fun,” Everman said. “Just holding that much power is cool.”
Everman is one of many Missourians who is currently in the firearms market, which had an increase in demand shortly after Barack Obama won the presidency in November 2008.

Pace For 'God Particle' Heats Up
Europe's particle physics lab, Cern, is losing ground rapidly in the race to discover the elusive Higgs boson, or "God particle", its US rival claims. The particle, whose existence has been predicted by theoreticians, would help to explain why matter has mass. Finding the Higgs is a major goal of Cern's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). But the US Fermilab says the odds of its Tevatron accelerator detecting the famed particle first are now 50-50 at worst, and up to 96% at best. Both machines hope to see evidence of the Higgs by colliding sub-atomic matter at very high speeds. If it exists, the Higgs should emerge from the debris. The LHC has been out of action since last September when an accident damaged some of the magnets that make up its giant colliding ring. Project leader Lyn Evans conceded the enforced downtime might cost the European lab one of the biggest prizes in physics.
Cosmologists Search for Gravity Waves to Prove Inflation Theory
Cosmologists Search for Gravity Waves to Prove Inflation Theory
During the next decade, cosmologists will attempt to observe the first moments of the Universe, hoping to prove a popular theory. They'll be searching for extremely weak gravity waves to measure primordial light, looking for convincing evidence for the Cosmic Inflation Theory, which proposes that a random, microscopic density fluctuation in the fabric of space and time gave birth to the Universe in a hot big bang approximately 13.7 billion years ago. A new instrument called a polarimeter is being attached to the South Pole Telescope (SPT), which operates at submillimeter wavelengths, between microwaves and the infrared on the electromagnetic spectrum. Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that Cosmic Inflation should produce the weak gravity waves.

Dame Stella accused ministers of interfering with people’s privacy and playing straight into the hands of terrorists. “Since I have retired I feel more at liberty to be against certain decisions of the Government, especially the attempt to pass laws which interfere with people’s privacy,” Dame Stella said in an interview with a Spanish newspaper. “It would be better that the Government recognised that there are risks, rather than frightening people in order to be able to pass laws which restrict civil liberties, precisely one of the objects of terrorism: that we live in fear and under a police state,” she said. Dame Stella, 73, added: “The US has gone too far with Guantánamo and the tortures. MI5 does not do that. Furthermore it has achieved the opposite effect: there are more and more suicide terrorists finding a greater justification.” She said the British secret services were “no angels” but insisted they did not kill people.
If you ever felt paranoid about subliminal messages, you might be right to worry. Images we see but don't consciously register have been shown to inform people's decision-making. Joel Voss of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and colleagues showed volunteers 12 kaleidoscope images for 2 seconds each while they also performed an unrelated number task to distract them from consciously committing the images to memory. A minute later, volunteers were asked to look at pairs of similar-looking images and choose the one they had seen before. They were also asked whether they were sure, had "a feeling" they were right, or were just guessing.
The former MI5 chief chose to air her views on the same day as a three-year study called for urgent measures to stop the erosion of individual freedom by states and the abandoning of draconian measures brought on with the "War on Terror". The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) said the legal framework which broadly existed in democratic countries before 9/11 was "sufficiently robust to meet current threats". Instead, a series of security measures were brought in, many of which were illegal and counter-productive, instilling anger and resentment expressed through violent protests. One worrying development, says the report, was that liberal democracies such as the UK and US have been at the forefront of advocating the new aggressive policies and that has given totalitarian regimes the excuse to bring in their own repressive laws. The ICJ panel, which included Mary Robinson, the former Irish president and United Nations Human Rights Commissioner and Arthur Chaskelson, the former president of the South African constitutional court, gathered their evidence from 40 countries. They took testimony from government officials, ministers, and people in prison for alleged terrorist offences.
Challenges To A 'Cashless' World The global credit crunch has delayed the shift from payments being made by mobiles instead of dollars or pounds, according to technology experts. Some believe it will be three to five years before money goes out of fashion and a truly cashless society emerges. Experts in the Silicon Valley say many hurdles still need to be cleared to move the system into the mainstream. These include technology challenges as well as high up-front costs, security and enough of the right type of phone. "There are a series of hurdles to overcome before the reality of contactless payments happens," said David Robertson of the Nilson Report, a journal covering payments issues. "The technology is there although when you think about having a chip in a phone to make contactless payments at the point of sale by waving your phone across a reader, there are only 10% of the handsets in the world that can do that. "It is going to take several years where you have a critical mass of handsets to make a difference at the point of sale. Obviously it will come but at the moment there is still discussion about how best to put that technology into a phone," Mr Robertson told the BBC. He thought this would be resolved in the next year. Experts say that there are between 360 and 380 billion mobile phones in the world to date. Another technological hurdle concerns the adoption of one universal standard for contactless payments, said Mr Robertson.

Scientists have for the first time demonstrated an artificial genetic code in action. A synthetic form of DNA, incorporating new chemical "letters" not present in natural DNA, is replicating itself in a Florida laboratory. The research, announced at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Chicago yesterday is an important step towards the creation of synthetic organisms with biochemistry that is different to natural life on Earth. It will also give "exobiologists", who are looking for extraterrestrial life, a view of an alternative system of Darwinian evolution at work. "This is the first example of an artificial chemical system capable of evolution," said Steven Benner, who created it in his lab at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville. Dr Benner's new genetic code has 12 letters. It includes the four nucleotide units of natural DNA, plus eight extra letters that he created by making small chemical changes in the original units. DNA with the new 12-letter code has a double-helix structure like the original version.
Sattilites Collide over Russia last week, but yet they have Sattilite Killer Robots they won't ever say is responsible?
World Risks 'Untold Atrocities' At Steely Hands Of Killer Robots Without Warrior Code Autonomous military robots that will fight future wars must be programmed to live by a strict warrior code or the world risks untold atrocities at their steely hands. The stark warning – which includes discussion of a Terminator-style scenario in which robots turn on their human masters – is issued in a hefty report funded by and prepared for the US Navy’s high-tech and secretive Office of Naval Research . The report, the first serious work of its kind on military robot ethics, envisages a fast-approaching era where robots are smart enough to make battlefield decisions that are at present the preserve of humans. Eventually, it notes, robots could come to display significant cognitive advantages over Homo sapiens soldiers. “There is a common misconception that robots will do only what we have programmed them to do,” Patrick Lin, the chief compiler of the report, said. “Unfortunately, such a belief is sorely outdated, harking back to a time when . . . programs could be written and understood by a single person.” The reality, Dr Lin said, was that modern programs included millions of lines of code and were written by teams of programmers, none of whom knew the entire program: accordingly, no individual could accurately predict how the various portions of large programs would interact without extensive testing in the field – an option that may either be unavailable or deliberately sidestepped by the designers of fighting robots.
Prosecutors Reduce Charges Against The Pirate BayThere’s an air of excitement in the astrophysics community, created by a surplus of particles from space invading Earth’s atmosphere. Balloon flights high in the stratosphere over Antarctica detected electrons in numbers and energies much higher than what usually pours in from space, scientists on a project called ATIC reported in November. About the same time, a separate report from Milagro, a ground-based detector near Los Alamos, N.M., described two unexpected patches of high-energy protons in the sky. A review of seven years of Milagro data revealed an unusual distribution in the energies of these cosmic rays. Both experiments seem to show that the Earth is being bombarded with high-energy cosmic rays from a mysterious, nearby source. But scientists aren’t sure whether the results are related.
According to a statement by Duane Gotvald, deputy project manager of the Defense Department's Robotic Systems Joint Project Office, soldiers are using the robots "for surveillance and peacekeeping/guard operations" in Iraq. By all accounts, robots have not fired their weapons in combat since their deployment more than a year and a half ago. But it is only a matter of time before that line is crossed. For many in the military-industrial complex, this technological revolution could not come soon enough. Robots' strategic impact on the battlefield, however -- along with the moral and ethical implications of their use in war -- have yet to be debated. Designed by Massachusetts-based defense contractor Foster-Miller, the Special Weapons Observation Remote Direct-Action System, or SWORDS, stands three feet tall and rolls on two tank treads. It is similar to the company's popular TALON bomb disposal robot -- which the U.S. military has used on more than 20,000 missions since 2000 -- except, unlike TALON, SWORDS has a weapons platform fixed to its chassis. Currently fitted with an M249 machine gun that fires 750 rounds per minute, the robot can accommodate other powerful weapons, including a 40 mm grenade launcher or an M202 rocket launcher.
