119 comments - Click for Blog U.S. Biotech Company Has ‘Library’ of Genetically Engineered Organisms That Excrete a Variety of Hydrocarbon Fuels; Inputs Are CO2, Sunshine and WaterJanuary 18th, 2011
Here’s part of a comment from Globe and Mail reader, Laid Back:
According to the article, the space required to supply current American consumption is an area the size of the state of Indiana. There are lots of areas in the American West with vast empty areas of desert and abundant sunlight (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona) albeit with little water. Here is the math:
(1) 800 barrels per year per acre is 2.2 barrels per acre per day.
(2) The US consumes 20 million barrels per day.
(3) This will require 9 million acres [ (2) divided by (1) ]
(4) One square kilometer is 247 acres
(4) 9 million acres is 36,800 square kilometers [ (3) divided by (4) ]
This is about the size of the state of Indiana.
However…
How can an organism exist with only carbon dioxide as a physical input ? Isn’t it made of proteins ? Proteins have more than carbon as constituents. Doesn’t it have DNA ? Doesn’t it grow ? Wouldn’t it need other types of nutrients as inputs ? Does it reproduce ? If it doesn’t reproduce, where does it come from ? How do you make more of them to boost production and replace dead ones ? If it does reproduce, and escapes into the environment, what keeps it from spreading all over the surface of the planet and converting all the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and coating the entire surface of the planet in stinking toxic hydro-carbons, killing off all other life forms ? (not to mention that removing all carbon dioxide from the atmosphere would cause all plant life to die which would kill everything higher up in the food chain).
Still, this is interesting.
Via: Globe and Mail:
In September, a privately held and highly secretive U.S. biotech company named Joule Unlimited received a patent for “a proprietary organism” – a genetically adapted E. coli bacterium – that feeds solely on carbon dioxide and excretes liquid hydrocarbons: diesel fuel, jet fuel and gasoline. This breakthrough technology, the company says, will deliver renewable supplies of liquid fossil fuel almost anywhere on Earth, in essentially unlimited quantity and at an energy-cost equivalent of $30 (U.S.) a barrel of crude oil. It will deliver, the company says, “fossil fuels on demand.”
We’re not talking “biofuels” – not, at any rate, in the usual sense of the word. The Joule technology requires no “feedstock,” no corn, no wood, no garbage, no algae. Aside from hungry, gene-altered micro-organisms, it requires only carbon dioxide and sunshine to manufacture crude. And water: whether fresh, brackish or salt. With these “inputs,” it mimics photosynthesis, the process by which green leaves use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Indeed, the company describes its manufacture of fossil fuels as “artificial photosynthesis.”
Joule says it now has “a library” of fossil-fuel organisms at work in its Massachusetts labs, each engineered to produce a different fuel. It has “proven the process,” has produced ethanol (for example) at a rate equivalent to 10,000 U.S. gallons an acre a year. It anticipates that this yield could hit 25,000 gallons an acre a year when scaled for commercial production, equivalent to roughly 800 barrels of crude an acre a year.
By way of comparison, Cornell University’s David Pimentel, an authority on ethanol, says that one acre of corn produces less than half as much energy, equivalent to only 328 barrels. If a few hundred barrels of crude sounds modest, recall that millions of acres of prime U.S. farmland are now used to make corn ethanol.
Joule says its “solar converter” technology makes the manufacture of liquid fossil fuels 50 times as efficient as conventional biofuel production – and eliminates as much as 90 per cent of carbon dioxide emissions. “Requiring only sunlight and waste C0{-2},” it says, “[this] technology can produce virtually unlimited quantities of fossil fuels with zero dependence on raw materials, agricultural land, crops or fresh water. It ends the hazards of oil exploration and oil production. It takes us to the unthinkable: liquid hydrocarbons on demand.”
The company name honours James Prescott Joule, the 19th-century British scientist. Founded only four years ago, it has begun pilot-project production in Leander, Tex. Using modular solar panels (imagine an array of conventional panels in a one-acre field), it says it will quickly ramp up production this year toward small-scale commercial production in 2012.
Joule acknowledges its reluctance to fully explain its “solar converter.” CEO Bill Sims told Biofuels Digest, an online biofuels news service, that secrecy has been essential for competitive reasons. “Some time soon,” he said, “what we are doing will become clear.” Although astonishing in its assertions, Joule gains credibility from its co-founder: George Church, the Harvard Medical School geneticist who helped initiate the Human Genome Project in 1984.

NaturalNews) Even the most creative science fiction movie could not have concocted the reality of what is taking place both in the Gulf of Mexico and around the world right now. Genetically-modified (GM), oil-eating bacteria introduced into the Gulf as part of the oil disaster's remediation efforts is reportedly causing the emergence of various other mutant bacteria, as well as increasingly-severe harm to humans and the environment.

Process of Adidam:

Book Fifteen:
The Lion Sutra
The "Perfect Practice" Teachings In The Divine Way Of Adidam
The Lion Sutra is Avatar Adi Da's comprehensive Text on the ultimate process of the Way of Adidam, which He calls the "Perfect Practice". The "Lion" is Avatar Adi Da Himself, magnificently "Roaring" His Call to renounce all forms of egoity—gross, subtle, and causal—in Perfect Contemplation of His "Bright" Form and Presence and State. The "sutras" of India are (literally) "strings" of aphoristic Wisdom-sayings. The verses of Avatar Adi Da's Lion Sutra are concentrated summaries of His Ultimate Teaching-Word, strung like jewels on the thread of His Argument.
The "Perfect Practice" of Adidam occurs in the Domain of Consciousness Itself—a Realm Prior to everything we normally associate with the idea of "me". Thus, the "Perfect Practice" is not something that can be "achieved" by an apparent individual. It can only be entered into by fulfilling the foundation practice and the Spiritually Awakened practice of the Way of Adidam and, on that basis, receiving Avatar Adi Da's Divine Spirit-Transmission so profoundly that one is Gracefully "Pulled" Beyond the entire realm of "I"-and-"other"—into His boundlessly Love-Blissful Domain of Conscious Light.
As a historian of Asian religions, I find that The Lion Sutra is unique . . . a fearless roar of divine possibility in human dimensions, and a whispered word of love . . . from a God-human to those graced and called to deeper commitment. . . .
Its message spirals toward a devotional union with a perfected teacher whose God-consciousness is expressed without reservation or disguise. . . .
It is a call to perfect peace, perfect freedom and perfect consciousness. It is a lofty vision of spiritual possibility. ...

For 10 days in December, a mob of icy comets pelted the sun in an extraordinary cosmic storm. Scientists who monitored the solar tempest now think the flurry of sundiving comets might herald a much bigger comet to come – one that could potentially be visible to the naked eye.
"But 25 comets in just ten days, that's unprecedented," Battams said.
"The comets were 10-meter class objects, about the size of a room or a house," said Matthew Knight of the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz.

The Ten Major Principles of the Gnostic Revelation
The Gnostic Christians of the second century believed that only a special revelation of knowledge rather than faith could save a person. The contents of this revelation could not be received empirically or derived a priori. They considered this special gnosis so valuable that it must be kept secret. Here are the ten major principles of the gnostic revelation:
1. The creator of this world is demented.
2. The world is not as it appears, in order to hide the evil in it, a delusive veil obscuring it and the deranged deity.
3. There is another, better realm of God, and all our efforts are to be directed toward
1. returning there
2. bringing it here
4. Our actual lives stretch thousands of years back, and we can be made to remember our origin in the stars.
5. Each of us has a divine counterpart unfallen who can reach a hand down to us to awaken us. This other personality is the authentic waking self; the one we have now is asleep and minor. We are in fact asleep, and in the hands of a dangerous magician disguised as a good god, the deranged creator deity. The bleakness, the evil and pain in this world, the fact that it is a deterministic prison controlled by the demented creator causes us willingly to split with the reality principle early in life, and so to speak willingly fall asleep in delusion.
6. You can pass from the delusional prison world into the peaceful kingdom if the True Good God places you under His grace and allows you to see reality through His eyes.
7. Christ gave, rather than received, revelation; he taught his followers how to enter the kingdom while still alive, where other mystery religions only bring about amnesis: knowledge of it at the "other time" in "the other realm," not here. He causes it to come here, and is the living agency to the Sole Good God (i.e. the Logos).
8. Probably the real, secret Christian church still exists, long underground, with the living Corpus Christi as its head or ruler, the members absorbed into it. Through participation in it they probably have vast, seemingly magical powers.
9. The division into "two times" (good and evil) and "two realms" (good and evil) will abruptly end with victory for the good time here, as the presently invisible kingdom separates and becomes visible. We cannot know the date.
10. During this time period we are on the sifting bridge being judged according to which power we give allegiance to, the deranged creator demiurge of this world or the One Good God and his kingdom, whom we know through Christ.
Thanks ion, that quote makes a lot of sense when one takes into consideration all we have learned.

In Praise Of Amitabha
Amitabha's body is the color of gold,
The splendor of his hallmarks has no peer;
The light of his brow shines around a hundred worlds,
Wide as the seas are his eyes pure and clear.
Shining in his brilliance by transformation
Are countless Bodhisattvas and infinite Buddhas.
His forty-eight vows will be our liberation,
In nine lotus stages we reach the farthest shore.
Homage to the Buddha of the Western Pure Land,
Kind and Compassionate Amitabha (3x)
Namo Amita Buddha (recite at length)

Tks eric.
Sorry to off topic here but I am stumbling on old material sifting for something else today and had to share this oldy.
Might be useful to any crew still lurking and processing various nuances of this time.
The Bible says that Jesus (Yeshua) was the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The Lion signifies the sign of Leo, which rules the heart. He gave us one commandment, which is to express unconditional love. He was born a Leo in the age of Pisces. Regulus, the Royal Star of the Lion, has been moving through the sign of Leo for the last 2,160 years. Now it is on 0 degrees Virgo and in the transition stage to the feminine energy.
The mirror image of Pisces is Leo. The mirror image is experienced by being six signs away from each other like Pisces/Leo - Aries/Virgo - Taurus/Libra, etc.
We have been in the age of Pisces/Leo. The Pisces influence has brought us much suffering until we can open our hearts to experience unconditional love. The Leo energy rules kings and queens. England's symbol is the Lion.
Now we are in the goddess energy, which started in July of 1991. This is when we first started experiencing the energy of Virgo. The mirror image of Virgo is Aquarius. Now we are in the transition stage of blending our male and female energy into one. This will happen during the time period of Uranus moving through Pisces. In 2010 Uranus moves into Aries, and we start a whole new cycle.
We are also moving from a 26.000 year cycle of Capricorn (materialism, structure, and control), into the Age of Aquarius ruled by Uranus. Tenth level light body is associated with Capricorn, and rules body pain such as knees, bones, dizziness, stomach pain, blurred vision and headaches.
Aquarius rules eleventh level light body. It also rules light, freedom and the Golden Age. We first started feeling the effects of this sign in February of 1962 when most of the planets lined up in Aquarius. Remember the song, This is the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
We have been moving into this age of freedom for a long time. Now, it's time to start manifesting that freedom. Remember, there is a world of light that is overshadowing this world of darkness. Those who are ready, will soon be living in the world of light, and will be through experiencing pain and suffering.

Ok indulge me one more time.
This is a post from Sword(?) back in the day(2006). Lets see if his tune has changed? Hard to tell, seems more like he's been silenced. ;)
Sword:
to all the geeks with telescopes - and star programs and the such... ...
Where will the constellation Pegasus be SITRO 2012?
Will it not be... ...on the east horizon?
I forget :0), what constellaiton did the star of crossing originate the last time trough? (Lets not confuse that with the conjunction of planets during the same period. Let us also not forget that there are "reports" of the planets becoming more and more luminous during that time - just like NOW...)
Large craters? I'm thinking the gulf of mexico - or hudson bay in canada... ...my my ex-wifes ass...
The way I see it is so, scatterings, wave front debris - SORT OF...
Take your slightly smaller than earth sized mass, put it in an eliptical orbit. The closer it gets to the sun on passing - the more of the suns gravity it will face - adn eventuially break up.
Now, once that has happened - the planetary mass can get "strung out - with a mighty large "bulge" in the middle.
Remember you telescope geeks - where talking about a body of mass that was thrown out of its normal "captive" orbit - into a "rouge planet" orbiting the solor system at an extreme elliptical orbit. Where walking baout something 3,4,5 times further out than pluto.
Right now, (no, not like at this very momment) the mass is on its "top" of its outward dive and speeding back into the solar system for its last big hurrah... ...

ok one more description: Sword said: (May2006??) Calling it a debris filed makes me think of a empty lot with a couple old rusting appliances in it.
I want you ñ and everyone else for that matter to think of it as roughly one third/quarter (by all approximations 1/16 of mass by time we get done with it ñ now the REAL geeks can do the math on that) of earthís mass will smash into us.

Why is it important to image the far side of the sun?
Because scientists can now immediately detect active regions on the far side of the sun which were hidden from our view up until now.
“No active region can hide from us anymore because we will now have this 360 degree view.”
The new far side data will allow much faster detection of solar storms which in turn will enable faster predictions of space weather which potentially can severely impact sensitive technological infrastructure on Earth and throughout the solar system.
Until now, we had to wait about two weeks until the rear side active regions of the sun rotated into our view on the front side.
Like the Comet NEAT video years ago, we now know what really cranks up the sun. So, if we have a preceding storm of debris for 'the planet of crossing' or merely the fragmentation results from a prior progenitor comet, they now have publicly activated the ability to know without delay if there is a dramatic reaction to near objects on the far side.
Anyone get the idea the huge storm over the U.S. might have been a weather war moment. Something like Wilcock has been mentioning about the quiet generally non lethal gestures being made to bring the elite to submit?
People I know in the states as well as a post I saw in the news have all described 'thunder and lightening' during this snow storm period.
I say that is very curious indeed.
total whiteout over most of U.S.
Nice that we can now see the dark side of the sun. :)
JOINT RUSSIAN-CHINESE-EUROPEAN SIMULATED SPACE MISSION
February 8, 2011
By Joseph P. Farrell
You may have missed this one – largely because our wonderfully informative media in this country probably didn’t even mention the story on television or radio (or if they did, they probably did late at night, running it only once, popping it into the usual nonsense of infotainment and hysteria mongering that the American media does so well):
Mock Mars Mission \’Arrives\’ at Red Planet
What interests me here is both the time of this mock mission, the no-expenses-barred attitude towards it, and the space-politics realignment heralded by this European-Russian-Chinese effort. Clearly, the amount of time involved in the mission – almost a year and a half – means that this was planned in detail for quite some time. That $15 million would be spent on it indicates the earnestness and seriousness with which these representative space powers take the idea of a manned mission to Mars. THe amount of time devoted and the amount of money invested in this project mean that these three entities are deadly serious about the possibility of a joint mission to Mars.
But notice also the political implications: these are the three power blocs that dominate the Eurasian land mass. We may expect, eventually, that India and Japan will play a role in this effort, and possibly even Brazil. Recently China and Russia decided to drop the dollar as a basis for their bilateral trade.
From my point of view, it looks to me as if the USA is being abandoned, not only as an economic power, but that it is being deliberately excluded from the long-range planning of future manned space missions. But whether being excluded or not, the USA and the current “leadership” in Washington needs, and needs now, a similar long-range vision for manned space missions, for if we do not go back to the Moon and Mars, rest assured, others are.
NASA is lost in the doldrums. Twenty years of a lack of vision by previous administrations – Dummycrooks and Republithugs alike – has led to America’s declining role in space, and that bodes ill for the future. We need to be back in space, and in a big way, if we are to secure our future and the technological benefits that space programs have brought in the past. Europe, Russia, and China are not going to wait for us

Just saw this:
Interesting point to see re: the ability to have telepresence without having to land on the Moon.
For historical completeness, it was probably Arthur C. Clarke in A Fall of Moondust (1961), who first proposed operations from habitats at the first and second Earth-Moon Lagrange points. Robert Farquhar in 1971 (NASA TN D-6365) is generally recognized as producing the first detailed architecture for extended human operations at Earth-Moon L1 or L2 sites. Farquhar’s libration-point architecture included long-duration habitats, on-orbit depots and tugs, and control from orbit of robotic systems on the surface. For the purpose of this paper, the first and second Earth-Moon libration points are equivalently useful, hence we will use the combined designation “L1,2”. Moreover, robotic or human operations at one venue can relatively easily transfer to the other, if desired, as demonstrated by the current NASA ARTEMIS mission.
Recently, Lester and Thronson (Space Policy, submitted) pointed out that the E-M L1,2 orbits are within what they refer to as the “cognitive scale of the universe” as seen from the lunar surface; that is, within roughly the round-trip light-travel time where advanced telepresence becomes almost indistinguishable from the experience of being on-site. Consequently, these authors have advocated suitably outfitted habitation in these orbits as starting points for lunar surface exploration. These would be in advance of the difficult and expensive landing of astronaut operators on the lunar surface, at least in the near term. Given the availability of the required technologies, Lester and Thronson assert that near-real time telepresence on the lunar surface can be a major near-term goal for science and human space flight. In conjunction with other goals to be achieved later, telepresence may be one justification for a human operations site at E-M L1,2 as soon as the end of the decade. One can therefore view such an Earth-Moon libration point as being the first, most affordable, important destination that humans should visit beyond LEO (see “First stop for Flexible Path?”, The Space Review, November 30, 2009).
Human operations beyond LEO by the end of the decade: An affordable near-term stepping stone
Of course I suggest, that this use of the Lagrange(Libration points) has likely already been the case for some time. ;)
Hints back to Voyager's mission past Titan, and the idea I have thrown out that Titan is more earth like than they say these days.
An initial examination of Voyager’s radio occultation data hinted that the surface was not detected. The radio beam had apparently been refracted and absorbed too much by Titan’s atmosphere. However, a more detailed examination of the data showed that while the radio signal did indeed fade below detectability during ingress, the surface of Titan was definitely observed during egress. A comparison between the data sets showed that the signal was lost during ingress almost at the surface. The analysis of this data showed Titan to have properties close to today’s accepted values: a diameter of 5,152 kilometers (3,202 miles), a surface temperature of about 94 K (–290°F), and a pressure of 1.47 bars. The radio occultation data combined with that from the ultraviolet spectrometer demonstrated that most of the atmosphere was composed of nitrogen, just like the Earth’s atmosphere. Hunten’s model for Titan’s atmosphere was vindicated. Titan was also firmly established as our solar system’s second largest moon just behind Ganymede.

Thanks Eric. Will check.
from: http://www.pibburns.com/catastro/clubenap.htm
Clube and Napier identified the progenitor of the Taurid complex as such a giant comet whose injection into a short-period (about 3.3 year) orbit occurred sometime in the last twenty to thirty thousand years. The Taurid complex currently includes the Taurid meteor atream, Comet Encke (the only known currently active comet in the Taurid complex), "asteroids" such as 2101 Adonis and 2201 Oljato, and copious amounts of dust. All ten of the numbered asteroids in the Taurid complex appear to have associated meteor showers and therefore are likely to be extinct comets masquerading as asteroids.
The giant comets normally reside far beyond the planets, in a spherical cloud surrounding the Sun, called the Oort cloud. There is also evidence for a flattened disk of comets closer to the inner solar system, called the Edgeworth/Kuiper belt. What prompts members of either of these comet repositories to enter the realm of the planets? Clube and Napier suggest a galactic influence. The solar system periodically passes through the plane of the galaxy as the Sun (and the solar system with it) orbits the galactic center. Each passage may dislodge giant comets and divert them closer to the Sun. The outer planets, particularly Jupiter, may then perturb some of these giant comets into orbits which enter the inner solar system.
further: The Taurid complex and the Kreutz sungrazer group are two families of objects which most likely represent the fragmented remains of two giant comets in the current era. SOHO has recently discovered many new members of the Kreutz group which were previously unknown.
The Kreutz progenitor was injected into a retrograde orbit and attained the sungrazing state at a high inclination to the ecliptic. Hence the debris of its "children" does not pose a threat to the Earth. The Taurid progenitor on the other hand ended up in a short-period low-inclination prograde orbit. This is why the Earth can encounter its debris with potentially calamitous results.
Elswhere: Clube says that fragments of Comet Encke
make up the Taurid meteor stream,
which peaks around 30 June in daylight hours but is visible in the night skies of November, and that the Earth passes through each dense part of this belt of debris every 3000 years.
http://www.valdostamuseum.org/hamsmith/encke.html
finally: with 2012 coming and all the notions made, this stood out.
Observers on Earth see the Taurids as appearing to come
from a radiant point in Taurus near the Pleiades.

Meteor clue to end of Middle East civilizations
By Robert Matthews, Science Correspondent
(Filed: 04/11/2001)
SCIENTISTS have found the first evidence that a devastating meteor impact in the Middle East might have triggered the mysterious collapse of civilisations more than 4,000 years ago.
satellite images of southern Iraq have revealed a two-mile-wide impact crater caused by a meteor
Studies of satellite images of southern Iraq have revealed a two-mile-wide circular depression which scientists say bears all the hallmarks of an impact crater. If confirmed, it would point to the Middle East being struck by a meteor with the violence equivalent to hundreds of nuclear bombs.
Today's crater lies on what would have been shallow sea 4,000 years ago, and any impact would have caused devastating fires and flooding.
The catastrophic effect of these could explain the mystery of why so many early cultures went into sudden decline around 2300 BC.
They include the demise of the Akkad culture of central Iraq, with its mysterious semi-mythological emperor Sargon; the end of the fifth dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom, following the building of the Great Pyramids and the sudden disappearance of hundreds of early settlements in the Holy Land.
Until now, archaeologists have put forward a host of separate explanations for these events, from local wars to environmental changes. Recently, some astronomers have suggested that meteor impacts could explain such historical mysteries.
The crater's faint outline was found by Dr Sharad Master, a geologist at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, on satellite images of the Al 'Amarah region, about 10 miles north-west of the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates and home of the Marsh Arabs.
"It was a purely accidental discovery," Dr Master told The Telegraph last week. "I was reading a magazine article about the canal-building projects of Saddam Hussein, and there was a photograph showing lots of formations - one of which was very, very circular."
Detailed analysis of other satellite images taken since the mid-1980s showed that for many years the crater contained a small lake.
The draining of the region, as part of Saddam's campaign against the Marsh Arabs, has since caused the lake to recede, revealing a ring-like ridge inside the larger bowl-like depression - a classic feature of meteor impact craters.
The crater also appears to be, in geological terms, very recent. Dr Master said: "The sediments in this region are very young, so whatever caused the crater-like structure, it must have happened within the past 6,000 years."
Reporting his finding in the latest issue of the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, Dr Master suggests that a recent meteor impact is the most plausible explanation for the structure.
A survey of the crater itself could reveal tell-tale melted rock. "If we could find fragments of impact glass, we could date them using radioactive dating techniques," he said.
A date of around 2300 BC for the impact may also cast new light on the legend of Gilgamesh, dating from the same period. The legend talks of "the Seven Judges of Hell", who raised their torches, lighting the land with flame, and a storm that turned day into night, "smashed the land like a cup", and flooded the area.
The discovery of the crater has sparked great interest among scientists.
Dr Benny Peiser, who lectures on the effects of meteor impacts at John Moores University, Liverpool, said it was one of the most significant discoveries in recent years and would corroborate research he and others have done.
He said that craters recently found in Argentina date from around the same period - suggesting that the Earth may have been hit by a shower of large meteors at about the same time.

They are still pumping corexit into the gulf at the rate of 4 million gallons since January.
Been starting to think that maybe they pulled that Gulf of Mexico blow out to stave off a crisis with the Madrid Fault Line.
A plate moment that could have massive consequences.
Couple this for some reason with the bulging magma at Yellowstone and one good see efforts perhaps to mitigate pressure.
Was the blow out a strategic 'bleeding'?
Forget not the recent story about FEMA's procurement of provisions for just such an event along the Madrid Fault Line. (see RedIce)
Just an intuit of the day.
After previous commentary I made about the methane question on Mars, I was brought to wonder about the so-called methane-ethane atmosphere and oceans on Titan.
Scientists on the Mars question clearly stated that Methane escapes atmosphere and must have a source of replenishment...raising the issue of biology.
Why? because 95% of methane comes from biological source and not geological. So the story about Titan being all Methane and ethane just didn't fit for me. Other than numerous hints being leaked I started to wonder if Titan might more habitable and Earth like than they have said to date.
Slowly we have seen a few pics now looking very Earth like and the issue has been raised elsewhere as to Titan being the only body we know of that has surface liquids(Mars still a secret). One researcher raised the point of why would the only other notable body with surface liquids have anything 'other' than water?! DUH?
I have shown a few pieces I have found over the last while but the latest is getting juicy.
Remember disclosure started with 'Water Water Everywhere' in alignment with the Age of Aquarius premise and will probably move to step two being the disclosure of very old archeology found(safe millions of years old).
Here is the latest:
Where's all the water in our Solar System?
The paper shows that subsurface oceans are feasible not just on the now obvious case of Europa, but also on Rhea, Titania, Oberon, Triton and Pluto. A case can also be made for the Trans-Neptunian Objects 2003 UB313 , Sedna and 2004 DW.
Here is the standout for me:
The paper's model, say its authors, is not applicable to Ganymede, Callisto and Titan, but I see that Scharf's article cites Titan as having possibly ten times the volume of Earth's oceans in water. This is lively stuff. Quoting Scharf: "…from these bodies alone there could readily be 10 to 16 times more liquid water slurping around off-Earth than on it." Then factor in those Trans-Neptunian Objects, add the prospect of radiogenic heating, and you wind up with at least the possibility that TNOs could be the largest source of liquid water in the entire Solar System.
One more time!!!
Scharf's article cites Titan as having possibly ten times the volume of Earth's oceans in water.
HELLO?!?! and that is just one body. As they point to numerous ones having this similar potential now.
How about them apples?! :)
Them apples is sweet man!
Wayne
:D That's a lot of apple juice!!
You know, I think its rapidly getting to a point where "they" will not be able to keep spinning these facts away. There stacking up!!!
-z
And now it looks like first admittance of our Solar System being a binary system. (like very other one discovered to date.)
Huge New Planet (Brown Dwarf?) Discovered in Our Solar System - Tyche Echoes of Planet X or "Nibiru"
Called: Tyche
To distinguish this object from the malevolent "Nemesis," astronomers chose the name of Nemesis's benevolent sister in Greek mythology, "Tyche."
...and from the Greek goddess that governed the destiny of a city.
I found this a curious comment in the article. : 'You'd also expect it to have moons. All the outer planets have them.'
He believes the planet is so huge, it will have a raised temperature left from its formation that will make it far higher than others, such as Pluto, at -73C, as 'it takes an object this size a long time to cool off'.
ion-->Far higher than others such as Pluto at -73C?!?!
While it might be cold, it has gone to -50C in Canada before, so what does 'far higher' really mean? My point, like the sunny side of Phobos at -7C, that isn't very cold for the nasty depths of space. Couple that with the revealing of water pretty much Everywhere in the Solar System, and one can see where this might be going.
This is a formal paper submitted, and of course JPL is going to say um ah well not sure denial, but you don't submit papers with no good foundation for full peer review. Me thinks this is just another release of the truth, couched as a hypothesis. The language of the article reads with too much certainty. ;)
Please pass the apple juice! lol :)
I agree ion. Is that temp for Pluto right? Titan is colder I think.
Wayne
Pluto was said in the article to be 73C. They suggest Tyche has a much higher temperature.
Now on your comment about Titan, I do feel they have fudged much of the stats on that Moon. Like temp. and liquid ocean bodies and atmosphere. So who knows it's actual temperature.
Pluto -73C
Just seems it should be colder, is Sun is only source of warming. :-\
Wayne
I read that article too Ion, very interesting! Especially how they try to steer away from "Planet X"...but only as far as Nemesis's sister!
I thought the same Wayne about temps but I'm wondering if the "electric universe" theory may provide another source for heat....just another thought though. lol
-z
Hi Zeb!
Yes, really good point.
And additionally their 'adjustment' to benevolent from the traditional view as malevolent.
I agree about the temperatures as well. Tidal forces or other sort of hollow planet theories with internal 'suns', I really don't know, but I have long wondered when there is leaking info about open water on Mars, surface 'oceans' on Titan, liquid water spewing from Enceladus and the list goes on. Next stop is Ceres/Vesta and they have already said they expect more water on/in Ceres than on Earth. Hubble shots showed a pretty nicely coloured proto-planet sitting in a perfect location.
I have long felt heat doesn't just come from the 'shine' off the Sun. You know, the whole thing about it being colder the farther you get out. Now they say in this article Pluto sits at -73C?! Could be an error, possibly Kelvin scale.
Don't forget earlier tips about the upper atmosphere of Venus being Very Earth like as well and having an aspect of exchange with Earth's.
So while Sword hints again recently on Facebook about this new planet's(9th) 'transitional' orbit- I think being pentagonal, we have to remember that Earth&Venus also trace a perfect double pentagonal orbit together.
Curious stuff.
Here was a coincidental marker I saw at the link:
Recently, WISE completed an extended mission, allowing it to finish a complete scan of the asteroid belt, and two complete scans of the more distant universe, in two infrared bands. So far, the mission's discoveries of previously unknown objects include an ultra-cold star or brown dwarf, 20 comets, 134 near-Earth objects (NEOs), and more than 33,000 asteroids in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Saw an interesting show on History International the other night. Called 'Apocalypse Island', was about an archaeologist who finds a carving of Mayan god and jaguar on one of the island in the Juan Hernandez archipelago off Chile.
The carvings are on a direct line from Pelinque and in 2012, a solar eclipse can be viewed, from the monument. The eclipse will be 1 degree above the horizon. It occurs on a Mayan holy day. Also, the transit of Venus can be viewed from the monument and it occurs appox. 200 days (June 2012) before Dec. 21 2012.
Archareologist believes this carving was made to view the end of time. He also believes Long Count is a countdown, not a calendar.
The way documents the journey with input from other 2012 researchers. I had not heard of this before. It seemed interesting cause it was new.
Wayne
Hey Ion!
Yes, temps out there are interesting for sure. I did a quick conversion and if -72C was a typo and should have been -72(K) then that would actually be a balmy -345.1C...still doesn't seem right since the coldest part of space is actually 3 degrees above absolute zero (-459F which is -272.1C). On the Kelvin scale that's 0.3K. So maybe it's not a typo and its actually That warm out there! **Note to self- next trip to Pluto...bring little drink umbrella's! lol
I'm pretty certain, at least for now, that there are several different models that determine "things out there" as a for instance: I've always had a problem with sublimation of water on Mars, until I actually witnessed it here. It was a month or so ago and really cold outside. There was a very thin film of ice on my back patio, I have a large dog that was slipping on it a little and had to help him around. Later that night (around 11pm) he had to go out again and to my surprise the ice was mostly gone. No puddles, no wet spots, just dry cement. The ice had been there all day without any melt. I've always thought sublimation happens at higher temps...not now!
The thing I find most interesting, is when we are allowed to get the little bit of info in the public domain...and what you've been piecing together here. Paradigms seem to be changing rather rapidly anymore...where it used to take decades or more to even consider a change.
Our system as a binary system, pentagonal orbits...water everywhere...I think the apple cart is about to tip over!!
Hey Wayne!
Definitely very interesting and something I haven't heard before either. I have been on the fence with the whole Dec 21, 2012 date and thought there was some validity with Carl Calleman's explaination of how the dates are wrong and the actual end of the creation cycles are on Oct 28th 2011. With this new info being found on an island and seems pretty specific...Really makes one think.
I wonder what the alignmens would be on the Oct 28th date? Or maybe orbits have been "adjusting" all these millennia and the wrong date is actually the right one!
-z
Hi Zeb! I have to make a note research Pluto. Maybe through NASA, ESA and then around the net a bit. Compare Titan, Enceladus, Titania and see what's up.
They didn't point out which island it actually was on that show. Maybe Googling the Juan Fernandez achipeligo may give you a Lat/Lon you could check alignments with. Just a thought.
Good to hear from you. Busier than a one armed paper hanger and doing my best to hang in here when I can.
Hi Crew!
Wayne
Ok here is a thought today. So, Sword has told us over he years about the black 'Shuttles', and in recent Blogs he points to the now very old, X2-DynaSoar.
example images: color DynaSoar
DynaSoar comparison to newer YF-19A
With the basic disclosures of the Falcon X41 and the evolution of the X33 to the X37B, one can not be surprised to see the commercial possibilities of this earlier secret product with some decent history behind it now.
Ya right you say? Ok, along comes the 'suborbital' LYNX from Xcor. I must say it bears a rather striking resemblance to the YF-19A Saber (1986-1993)(DynaSoar's successor). (that's U.S. Air Force, NOT NASA)
The Lynx suborbital vehicle
Other images at Wiki, cast a better sense of the comparison of this LYNX to the old X-20 DynaSoar.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-20_Dyna-Soar
Interesting temp info Ion. On my flight back from Mexico last night, the temp was -76 F at 30,000 feet.
This just in: with a remark about temperatures as well.
Giant Underground Chamber Found on Moon By India's Chandrayaan-1 Spacecraft
The Indian Space Research Organization has discovered a "giant underground chamber" near the Moon's equator, in the Oceanus Procellarum area discovered by the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft—more than one mile long (1.7 kilometers) and 393 feet wide (120 meters)-big enough to contain a small lunar city.
The Indian researchers have published a paper detailing their findings and talking about the possibility of making this giant underground vault as a future human base. The settlement would be protected from radiation, micro-meteor impacts, dust and extreme temperature changes by the lava structure that provides a natural environmental control with a nearly constant temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit), unlike that of the lunar surface showing extreme variation, maximum of 130 degrees Celsius (266 degrees Fahrenheit) to a minimum of minus 180 degrees Celsius (-292 degrees Fahrenheit) in its diurnal (day-night) cycle.
In addition, lunar explorers would only need minimal construction, without the added cost of having to use expensive shields against the hazardous lunar environment.
(The Daily Galaxy via Silicon India and gizmodo.com)
Two lines I liked in this post:
...more than one mile long (1.7 kilometers) and 393 feet wide (120 meters)-big enough to contain a small lunar city.
...a natural environmental control with a nearly constant temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit)
Heck, we just woke up to -25C this morning here and one could see people at bus stops in shoes and no hats.
So, if Moon can get to -180C during Lunar Night, and Ottawa can start the day at -25C, is Pluto really -73C?
Wayne
Yes, they pretty much said so much for Pluto at -73C. Remember the example previously of the always sunward side of Phobos being a steady -7C?
I personally think they are fudging temperatures in general.
I do think Titan is much warmer than they say, and other sites have drawn attention to 'activity' and presence there. Terraforming or habit? Hmmmm
These are exciting days. Saw video of former Cdn Defense Minister Hellyer give a powerful speech invoking disclosure recently. And really does anyone else think that Gary McKinnon looks like Romulan or Vulcan?? :) I saw him in a news bit and man he looks ummm distinct.
Ok so for all the incarnations of "The Enterprise" Sword reviews in his latest Blog, one could possibly consider that there is now a space equivalent that may be of size not unlike the well known 'carrier'.
That said, some time back I engaged the notion around an ancient premise of 'They who came through the heart of the sun'. The idea of 'Stargates', much more literally.
Ok So Gary Mckinnon saw some stuff in his lurking at NASA's terminals and found a reference to a program back then called "Solar Warden". Even if they changed its name now, the principal might go beyond merely being able to observe natural Solar phenomenon(ie CME's) or watching behind the sun for the debris field and any stray inbound objects.
Here is the latest popping up in our media to see and consider.
Stellar wormholes could link stars with tunnels of phantom matter
http://ca.io9.com/5777715/stellar-wormholes-could-link-together-stars-through-tunnels-of-phantom-matter
A seriously strange new theory says that stars may be connected through a system of stellar wormholes, linking distant pairs of stars thanks to an exotic material known only as phantom matter.
...The idea comes from a team of physicists in the central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan.
...these theorists suggest a wormhole might well exist that link together pairs of stars. Although this idea probably seems very far-fetched, it's not fundamentally impossible.
This is especially interesting considering Jacob's Ladder and other modern realization's Wayne Herschel has brought forth.
If we have disclosures from the insiders that Humanity has already achieved translight travel, then it would seem more plausible for much more advanced beings to 'jump' through Solar Doorways to get to 'here'.
Now this is very interesting! One thought that comes to mind, with all the known stars, how the hell would one navigate if there are such passages! Reminds me of the old show "Sliders" and that they always had to "slide" in the hopes it would eventually land them back home! The concept of that show was very cool!
Great info as usual Ion!
-z
Tks zebowho! appreciate that, really.
I guess, if I was further reading between the lines, I would say that in the details might be the answer.
connected through a system of stellar wormholes, linking distant pairs of stars
Pairs....a system. Sounds like they might already know.
On another note.
Anyone get the feeling they are doing some final prep on the X37B and associated technology right in line with this event window near 2012?
While there may be a full fleet up there with ultra technology, the stand out for me with the X37B is the remote non-piloted aspect they are using right now.
Strangely I first found myself thinking about the old poem "Get Up And Bar The Door".
Beyond tools for the possibility of a debris field, I spin from that above intuited line and consider the dimensions this may serve as a tool to guardian our Solar Gateway.
Remote interceptors
Earth launch or otherwise.
http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=14453
Here is an embedded detail in the story that rang out for me: "The X-37B spacecraft looks a bit like NASA’s space shuttles, only much smaller. The vehicle is about 29 feet long by 15 feet wide (8.8 by 4.5 meters), with a payload bay about the size of a pickup truck bed. By comparison, two entire X-37Bs could fit inside the payload bay of a space shuttle.
So there lies a possible way to get them into space in numbers if fabricated down here.
Remember Sword's black Shuttles launched, non chemically, via compressed air from a mountain: possibly two X37b's at a time? hmmmmm
Reading between the lines on Wednesday coffee chat at FSHOD.
Ok here is a good hint:
Data from Cassini's composite infrared spectrometer of Enceladus' south polar terrain, which is marked by linear fissures, indicate that the internal heat-generated power is about 15.8 gigawatts, approximately 2.6 times the power output of all the hot springs in the Yellowstone region, or comparable to 20 coal-fueled power stations.
This is more than an order of magnitude higher than scientists had predicted, according to Carly Howett, the lead author of study,
"The mechanism capable of producing the much higher observed internal power remains a mystery and challenges the currently proposed models of long-term heat production," said Howett.
Cassini also found that these fissures eject great plumes of ice particles and water vapor continually into space. These trenches have elevated temperatures due to heat leaking out of Enceladus' interior.
ion-->last remark of the whole article below!!
"The possibility of liquid water, a tidal energy source and the observation of organic (carbon-rich) chemicals in the plume of Enceladus make the satellite a site of strong astrobiological interest," Howett said.
ion--->They claim to have predicted in 2007 a maximum of 1.4 gigawatts and instead it turns out to be 15.8 gigawatts!!!!
HELLO!?!?!? Can you see where they are going with this? My My Titan etc is a lot warmer than we thought and oh look at the water spewing and the nice clouds everywhere. wink wink.
http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Cassini_Finds_Enceladus_Is_A_Powerhouse_999.html
You're welcome Ion, absolutely!!
You know I used to think these subtle "drips" were meant for us because they thought we couldn't handle the truth. But I'm seriously starting to believe it's really for them. Their paradigm cannot handle much more than this at a time. It would be too shattering for their little box their in, to get from "a" to "z" without anything in the middle.
Yep, Titan's next! Oh, and they'll be shocked too!! Maybe they should hang out with us here. We could show them how to "Open your mind"!! :D
-z
I have to agree with zeb. They are having a hard time with their inadequate paradigm. I love it! We should have an open house here at FSHOD and invite them all. ;-)
Wayne
Ha ha ha your so right guys!! We surf this stuff like eating popcorn. Wish they could. God help them if a Geologist and an Egyptologist bump into them at a party!!
Re Titan being next.
Lets not forget someone's so called tongue in cheek poster...that to me said so much more. Really. Let alone the importance of 'name' choice for the body itself.
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/images/Ontario_Lacus_postcard_in_space_screengrab_640.jpg
They also use the poster ever so briefly in the beginning of this little piece of descriptive and fly through.
http://www.nasaimages.org/luna/servlet/detail/NVA2~58~58~86714~137956:Beautiful-Ontario-Lacus
Oh and by the way, guess where Titan's Lake Ontario is?! Yup, near the South Pole.
... And if they were near 14 times off on their notion of the internal heat-generated power of Enceladus, then well you can imagine the possible scenario to be disclosed about Titan and the same actual locale at the South Polar region. hmmmm. :)
Ok now to link the sync.
Just yesterday..APOD with Titan on the edge of Saturn's rings...with Enceladus on the far right.
Hello?
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110308.html
Looks like a mini solar system in that pic ion.
Wayne
Good one Wayne. Definitely a theme at play. Odd with the news articles about Enceladus and Titan and then voila a picture of both at APOD.
Is that a hint at their drip drip method with the media elements, I wonder?
Even last month, suggestive headlines followed by the usual banality of bla bla.
Surprise Hidden in Titan's Smog: Cirrus-Like Clouds
ScienceDaily (Feb. 3, 2011)
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/02/110203163813.htm
Ok, so now for a little of ion's 'reading between the lines'!! :)
A)...the ice clouds have the pearly white appearance of freshly fallen snow.
ion-->white means water!!
B)...studies rely on instruments that operate at wavelengths beyond human sight. This is how Voyager learned that Titan's atmosphere is made mostly of nitrogen, as is Earth's.
C)Voyager also picked up indications that Titan's stratosphere, the second-lowest layer of its atmosphere, harbored "ices made from some exotic organic compounds," Samuelson says.
D)...Titan has its own polar vortex and may even have a counterpart to our ozone hole. The degree of similarity is intriguing, says Flasar, given the different compositions and chemistries of the stratospheric clouds on Earth versus Titan.
"We are starting to find out how similar Titan's clouds are to Earth's," says Samuelson. "How do they compare? How do they not compare?"
Some pretty explicit remarks tucked into that article, eh guys?!
My point is that they had predicted(or declared) the heat output for Enceladus to be almost 14 times less than what it actually is. So what do you think they are doing with regards to Titan? Ethane? Methane? I think they are full of it.
The main criteria they report for that belief is under the premise of temperature and it being apparently so cold as to not have liquids otherwise.
Yet over and over again they are showing massive similarities with Earth. Even the shorelines of the body they specifically named Lake Ontario(changed to Ontario Lacus)are outstandingly said to be like ours here. They have shown clouds, rain, fog, rising and lowering water levels and other seasonal changes very much like our own.
In another article I saw they used the question in the descriptive: "Land of Lakes?" which again is quite specific to the Land o Lakes region in Ontario, Canada. We have been shown before these are not trivial uses of language or casual naming of places/lakes etc. It is always very specifically chosen and clearly ritualistic and symbolic with NASA and co.
Headline: PIA06240: Land of Lakes?
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA06240
...new revelation would mean that each pole on Titan is a large wetlands area.
that was a quote above from article at link.
LMAO..When the party starts, we'll have to make sure to put the hookah away and lock up g-deck...They're not ready for that yet!!
I think wet lands at the poles are the first step to a bigger "surprise" coming soon. I mean, I understand greenhouse effect but the following seems to fly in the face of that...
They first said, Titan's atmosphere was mostly methane and thus had methane rain/lakes/rivers but this doesn't make sense, since now the atmosphere is mostly nitrogen (like here). I now expect those lakes to be mostly water with maybe a higher content of hydrocarbons mixed in.
All of this reminds me of a "theory' I had when they first imaged the surface of Titan. My thought back then was "maybe Planet X wasn't a planet (or brown dwarf) but a moon...this moon! I wonder if there's a way to look for the signature of gold in the atmosphere there. Boy would this give the whole Annunaki theory a boost (or a twist)!!
Jas...smoke'em if ya got'em...we might be having guests (and don't loose the key to the door)!! :D
-z
There is an ESA project that was supposed to send a probe to Uranus. The Sumerians said the outer planets were water planets, at least in their tablets they said that. I wonder what reports would start coming back if that probe ever got to Uranus. More trickle trickle of what we are hearing here? :-)
Wayne
Ok Wayne your opening line just makes me laugh! lol ok sorry old joke about a probe to ...
Zebowho: A little note, that Titan is the largest of all the Moons around Saturn. Curious too is a piece I read and wrote about a while back where they clearly showed that Methane comes 95% from biological source and a mere 5% from so called geologic process. So their premise with Titan just doesn't add up. There was also comments in regards to Mars about how Methane escapes atmosphere rapidly and must be replenished. Thus raising the question on Mars of where is the Methane there coming from? So again the Titan example just doesn't ring true. Ethane and Methane rain etc. from only geology?? ;)

A 5.3 earthquake this morning in the Gulf of California.
Maybe Hoagies boat leaving devistation in its wake.

Ok let me get this straight...
An 8.8 Earthquake(Japan scale) occurs and creates a 33Ft. Tsunami. The official missing persons tally is 88,000. The nuclear problem now affects a number of Japan's 55 Nuclear reactors.
Does the list go on? Anyone see some curious number reporting? I'm jus say'n.

Second nuclear power plant unit exploded in Japan about two hours ago.
Now a third explosion, this one in unit 2.
Big one from Benjamin Fulford.
The earthquake and tsunami attack on Japan by the criminal corporate Washington D.C. cabal was meant to intimidate the people of the world into submission. Instead, it has provoked a threat by a very powerful group outside of the control of the White Dragon Society to “sink England, Italy and the United States into the ocean.” The White Dragon Society and its allies are appealing for calm and a negotiated solution before the planet earth is destroyed. High level negotiations aimed at accomplishing exactly this are now taking place in Tokyo and Osaka.
http://benjaminfulford.net/
I wondered inwardly a few times when the gloves might come off and they deal with this 'cabal' once and for all. Benjamin Fulford delivered the ultimatum some time ago. How many dastardly acts of extreme scale must occur before they assassinate the lot of them, as promised??
I know violence is not the right answer, but at what point do you stop asking them to 'kindly' step down and take a 'time out'?!
If the quake etc was not 'natural' then after Haiti, I would say its time to simply eliminate the so-called 300 that they listed as the top.
These elite morons don't mind wiping out thousands upon thousands of innocents, time to neutralize 'The 300' leach parasites of our world and move on in peace....not pieces.
Ok mates, I feel like the message is coming through on a regular drip now.
Mar 18, 2011
HEADLINE:
ion's quick skim of the meat I saw:
a)As spring continues to unfold at Saturn, April showers on the planet's largest moon, Titan,
b)This is the first time scientists have obtained current evidence of rain soaking Titan's surface at low latitudes.
c)Extensive rain from large cloud systems,
d)"It's amazing to be watching such familiar activity as rainstorms and seasonal changes in weather patterns on a distant, icy satellite," said Elizabeth Turtle, a Cassini imaging team associate at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, Md., and lead author of the publication.
e)"These observations are helping us to understand how Titan works as a system, as well as similar processes on our own planet."
f)Years of Cassini observations suggest Titan's global atmospheric circulation pattern responds to the changes in solar illumination, influenced by the atmosphere and the surface,
g)Cassini found the surface temperature responds more rapidly to sunlight changes than does the thick atmosphere. The changing circulation pattern produced clouds in Titan's equatorial region.
(h)These observations suggest that recent weather on Titan is similar to that over Earth's tropics. In tropical regions, Earth receives its most direct sunlight, creating a band of rising motion and rain clouds that encircle the planet.

Visiting the planetary temperature thing here. A CSM article about Messenger going into orbit around Mercury: "At some 36 million miles from the sun, temperatures on the planet's daylight half hit 800 degrees F., while temperatures on the night half plunge to nearly minus 300 degrees F. – a 1,100-degree temperature swing that the craft will experience every 12 hours."
Here: http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2011/0318/NASA-milestone-MESSENGER-spacecraft-enters-orbit-around-Mercury
-300F (-184.44C), and Pluto is -73C (-99.4F)
What do you think about that?

Its curious, isn't it Wayne. So much of the secondary ideas they are 'suggesting' seem to relate to 'temperature'.
My personal hunch, is that at some point they will reveal 'an error' or something and suggest their temperature readings were grossly incorrect.
Just a hunch though born of the hints in their basic media releases.
As posted from the closest, Mercury, to the current farthest, having strangely opposite temperatures. The 'discovery' of the internal heating of the southern part of Titan being 14.5 times higher than they suggested in 2007 says to me either they are totally inept and incompetent as scientists or they are fudging that kind of data to that large a degree.
Here's a curious one:
http://www.eutimes.net/2011/02/russian-leader-confirms-to-pope-new-planet-arrival-in-2012/
rendering of image for planet Tyche from above link.
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/mcp2.jpg
They say in the article this: More interesting to note, however, about the name Tyche given to this new planet is that it is also the name of the ancient Greek god governing over the destiny of mankind,
But I also bring forth this definition about TYCHE: Tyche (Τύχη, meaning "luck" in Greek, Roman equivalent: Fortuna)
That could be read more ways than just the 'destiny' of a city or country.
Here is a funny consideration that I just had.
They say at the Wiki: In the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara, Tyche became closely associated with the Buddhist goddess Hariti.
...and if one sees this Buddhist theme again appearing very much like the heavy use of it in the details about Titan as well, then one has to wonder just how 'Nemesis' all of this 'planet of crossing' 'Star of crossing' Tyche stuff really is??
More the trouble is the Kali Yuga and/or the movements prior to this conjunction expected with the 'debris field' or Planet etc. I know the wind sure makes me agitated and this preceding wind of this body and the charge of the Solar System in climate change right now sure has its potency. Heck lets throw in a Super Moon tonight just to ratchet up the tension a little more.
So lets have 'attention' but not be 'in a tension'. :)
Yea, it seems that what they think and what they find are so different, that they are reticent to admit it. Another trickle of disclosure ion? I think so.

For our non-Facebook crew, here is a video talk(10mins) by Michio Kaku that is quite telling in so many ways.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCin8OqYJ_M
I posted: "Curious, in the context of description of Type 1 Civilizations to immediately refer to control..."the weather, manipulate earthquakes and volcanoes." That's the prime civilizational feature? Everything right now, shows abuse, not right use... in specifically this detail.
"
Further he makes comment of a Type 1 Civilization, that has the ability to move planets. Funny thing is he makes the equating of it with 'Star Trek' but frankly I don't know of any Star Trek stories whereby they 'move' planets around.
But hey, either way it supports my thoughts previously about 'learning to navigate your sphere'. Races that not only hollow out spheres and travel in 'moons' instead of pop riveted metal ships, but have learned to drive their planet and steer their way. So I say, planets etc like the fabled Niburu are not necessarily bound to a static orbit.
check out the video guys.
I almost went to the GCF for work. I would have loved to have been in that session.

Hoagie does an hour at redicecreations earlier today...

Benjamin Fulford looking very intense.
This is the latest.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8yA5kjywL0&feature=related
Here is an interview/dialogue below from the same 'set', that is 26 minutes long. It is in Japanese, but very worth watching some of it as the body language and other details can be gleaned. There is a very interesting man sitting with Fulford at the table. HE looks and sounds like a figure with some serious authority. He is holding a sheathed Samurai sword and it looks like a golden eagle statue is next to him. Pretty cool dress as well. Yakuza Kingpin, White Dragon Society Leader? I don't know, but he worth observing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er80i-Lf8vY&feature=related
Both these videos are with in that last few days and are the most recent stuff of Fulford I have seen.
He essentially, in the english one, says the Quake and Tsunami were intentional.
For me, the key point he makes, other than his insider knowledge, is that the tsunami was in one direction If it was real it should have gone in all directions and hammered Hawaii, and it didn't at all.
TKS Eric!
A curious story to appear. True or False, still a marker of sorts.
3 Very Large Objects In Space Flying To Earth

FRESH FULFORD
MAR 21ST
http://benjaminfulford.net/2011/03/21/us-troops-and-occupation-forces-flee-japan-their-lackeys-flee-tokyo/
The United States occupation forces in Japan are staging a major strategic defeat because they know the Japanese defense establishment knows it was elements of the US military that set off the March 11, (311) tsunami attack against Japan. This attack used nuclear weapons drilled into the seabed by submarines and not HAARP according to senior Pentagon Sources. In addition, four months ago they overruled Japanese authorities and placed deadly plutonium into the number 3 reactor at Fukushima, according to the governor of Fukushima prefecture. This was to provide a nuclear cover story for the seabed atomic attack, pentagon sources say. Needless to say, the ring-leaders of this attack are now in hiding and know they will be found.
Here is a comment by David Wilcock someone noted in the comments for that article.
Comment by dwilcock on March 22, 2011 @ 1:06 am
My new article is coming soon… wanted to read this before posting it and I was not disappointed. Once again, Ben’s sources line up with my own.
There are many angles on this disaster that must be considered in a grand overview of the situation. I am glad I trusted those dreams enough to post them a week before this happened, as they made it clear that although a huge natural disaster was about to happen, we would pull through it.
The dreams also involved oil shooting out of a volcano, and there is now a new 100-mile-wide oil slick floating in the Gulf by where the BP spill was. It does seem as if these negative factions are pulling out all the stops to try to forestall their defeat — but what they’ve done now is so outrageous that it will actually speed up the process much more.
Remember — we won’t have Disclosure until these guys have been neutralized. My own sources have said the US insiders have already moved all their important belongings in to a secure location, in South America, and all they need to do is get on a plane and fly out. All the stuff they need to live in a new house is already in the new location.
This is different than the issue Ben has been discussing, where they’re trying to negotiate for a larger bulk of members. This is the elite group — and in their case they already have a fortified location picked out and have already moved their stuff in to their houses. They are just waiting for the moment to get on the planes and go.
When this happens, it will be an unprecedented crisis in the American government, as many employees will disappear all at once — including a wide variety of senators and congressmen. They are ready to do this at any moment — that’s how close we are, according to reliable insiders.
All the things we were told would be happening during this time are happening. That also strengthens the case that it is all leading up to a highly positive outcome that these insider groups have no ability to prevent.
- David
Senators and congressmen disappearing? And the problem with that is? :)
Well, a funny little story popping up in the midst this morning.
Libya has declared gold reserves worth more than $6bn at current prices, thought to be held largely at home.
Hmmmmmmm????????
New U.S. computer to be world's fastest
...and guess what it is named?
Titan
yup
The computer, dubbed "Titan," is predicted to achieve a computation speed 20,000 trillion calculations (20 petaflops) per second.
The Titan is expected to be used by the Energy Department to calculate complex energy systems and will cost the U.S. government approximately $100 million.
If this was applied to your CUSIP number, a computer like that could predict your existence and expunge it all at the same time.

This should compile to a BLOG, but sorry I just don't have the time.
Things in Japan are going to crap big time.
The latest: Nuclear Core in Full Breach Risk of Full Catastrophe
As I felt the severity of the situation now, I was moved to contemplate "where might so many people evacuate to"?
This brought me oddly to the story of China's empty cities. Brand new and essentially empty. They are no mistake of a building boom. They are outstandingly planned.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1339536/Ghost-towns-China-Satellite-images-cities-lying-completely-deserted.html
My big question now is: "Might they have known that the approaching 'whatever'=Niburu, debris field, etc etc...already showing effects on the local space including the sun, be very likely to cause something even worse for the island of Japan??
Remember all info says the incoming debris field is approaching from the Southern Hemisphere.
Might Japan be subject to a worse scenario and this circumstance if triggered as Fulford has said,... possibly be a slightly lesser tragedy to push everyone to migrate elsewhere away before too late for the whole island? (Something like I saw in The Watchmen).
What a situation, the best mankind can do is cover his ass....until he gets found out.
Very insightful ion on the cities. Quite ironic, if true. Considering what Japan did to China prior to and during WWII.
Wayne
I hate to burst your Japanese lantern here Ion but most of Japan is upwind and most of Canada is downwind.
New blog entry from David Wilcock. Haven't finished reading it yet but it covers some neat stuff, like the sinking of Atlantis (Antarctica) and the surviving civilization of "Rama" that was at war with Atlantis. And "vimanas."

Richard Hoagland in Amsterdam right now speaking on topic of Secret Space Program.

I know we don't get any visuals of the presentations but this is valuable stuff to hear and of course the latest material.
I still have to listen, but will sound off once I do.
I listened to the whole deal. It is shocking to me that he reprises everything Clan Destine told us about the Hutchison effect and how it is related to the takedown of WTC on 911.
Frankly, his discussion was a poor performance.
Tks Eric.
Just a note: from Wilcock's Blog
WATCH FOR APRIL THE 8TH
I don't like dropping dates, but April 8th is going to be a very, very interesting day. This has gotten a bit long, so I will save the bulk of this argument for an update that will emerge by or before this date.
Three different massive events all coalesce on this one focal-point -- just a week before taxes are due in the US:
SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST THE FED: The Supreme Court has given the Federal Reserve a two-week deadline to reveal where the money went -- as of Monday, March 21st. This decision is one of the most significant events in American history. That brings us to April 4th -- four days before the 8th.
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN: The Democrats and Republicans in Congress cannot agree on a budget. The US government will therefore shut down as of April 8th -- and there is no indication anyone will stop it. That means no paychecks, no services, et cetera -- for an indeterminate time.
NEW BRETTON WOODS: On this very same day, the first meeting to completely overhaul the world's financial system will take place. Other countries will now have much more of a say. This is the literal fulfillment of everything Fulford and I have been saying for so long.
This will create a massive wave of prosperity and directly pave the way for the release of clean, 'free' energy technology.
Looks like the Cabal may have a few last strikes to try, but as Wilcock says, it will not likely play out the way 'they' want. Their game is up.
Here is the audio of Richard Hoagland's presentation in Amsterdam
Secret Space Program
about 2 hours I think.
Don't miss this stuff guys.
Also, here is a good interview from March on RedIceCreations that preceeded this presentation. It summarizes very well.

FULL membership only update from Benjamin Fulford 04/11/2011
Sarkozy and Soros send negotiator to visit White Dragon Society but talks inconclusive
This weekend a French agent was sent by George Soros, French President Nicholas Sarkozy and other senior Zionists to negotiate with the White Dragon Society. The talks, which lasted for two days, were inconclusive. However, the agent made it clear the European branch of the Zionists truly feared a collapse of the Euro, while their American counterparts are finally beginning to realize they might actually end up in jail. At the same time, their attitude was so haughty it made arrogance seem like a form of humility. They also made many threats but the fact is that they are running scared and they are running out of time.
The agent, who was of Japanese ancestry but who spoke French and English better than Japanese, claimed he came from a super-elite of Japanese Jews who represent 1% of the Japanese population. He kept referring to “average people,” pointing to nearby passersby with contempt as if they were almost an inferior species not worth protecting. Of course it is easy to feel superior if you are born into a world of billions of dollars and servants who do everything for you, including think.
The negotiations took place at the same time as George Soros gathered a bunch of the same old Council on Foreign Relations and Bilderberg hacks for a “Bretton Woods II” conference that was largely ignored. It was largely ignored because this group has proven, with their rapacious actions over the past few decades, that they are not qualified to run the international financial system.
Not only that, they have been using forged documentation to justify their control over the global financial system. Basically, if you ask them who gave them the right to create money out of thin air, they say it is God. If you ask them to prove that God gave it to them, they suddenly get evasive and embarrassed. God created life and the universe, but God did not create the Federal Reserve Board. It was a bunch of greedy oligarchs who did that.
On a more down to earth level, the $1 trillion Neil Keenan lawsuit is finally reaching a crucial stage. People from all over the world have been providing evidence of crimes by the criminal cabal that owns the Washington D.C. corporate government. The constant flow of new information meant extra-legal preparations were needed and that is why the case has been pending for so long.
In a sign people are getting nervous though, last week Bill Clinton, Carl Rove, Tim Geithner, Paul Volcker and Bilderberg Chairman Ettiene D’avignon were among the many luminaries calling about the case.
The main reason for their concern is that the plaintiffs have now gotten their hands of a book of codes, together with screen shots confirming their validity, that show all major financial transactions of the past 30 years. This means the lawsuit will be able to prove such things as that Al Qaeda and the Pentagon are being financed by the same people.
The military allies of the White Dragon Society, for their part, are seriously considering putting the 1 million or so American Satanists into the Fema camps that were being prepared for American Christians.
The Gnostics, meanwhile, who chased the US military out of Libya and Kosovo, say they have now once again planted a suitcase nuclear bomb near BIS headquarters in Switzerland. They say that unless the financial elite agree to start a meritocratic system of governance over finance that they will “turn all the gold in Swiss vaults into nuclear waste.” These are dangerous people but we have confirmed from multiple intelligence agency sources that they have serious capabilities.
Their more moderate faction is waiting for the right timing to hand over to Wikileaks a set of intercepted e-mails so explosive that “they will topple most Western governments.”
continued: ....
....Continued
What the megalomaniac financial elite need to realize is that the men with the guns and the senior civil servants and other top intellectuals who were not part of the inbred elite are now awake, aware and angry. They are not going to be lulled back to sleep this time.
The White Dragon Society and its allies have made certain conditions very clear. First of all a major campaign to end poverty and stop environmental destruction needs to be fully and immediately financed. Second, the monopoly over the creation and secret distribution of fiat currency by an inbred, self-selected elite, had to end. Third, the world needs a South African style truth and reconciliation commission in order to put an end to the fabric of lies that has been woven around much of humanity. Only then will amnesty be granted and a jubilee (the one-off elimination of all debts both public and private) take place.
The brainwashed portion of humanity is going to have to be told the truth in easy to understand, verifiable stages. As many have said, at first they will be angry but then they will be ecstatic.
Once this has happened, rational negotiations will be needed in order to totally revamp the unfair international regulations and institutions created after World War 2. Only then will humanity will be free at last to develop its full potential.
