Judicial Review
Hello, just a heads up, I am a judge. I am a Federal Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Utah. I have read that you people believe in something about the end of the world in 2012 (from History Channel). I wanted to inform you that I am right now presiding over a grand jury that is investigating fraud of people who write these "2012" books. It is going to conclude in a few weeks, and it will be kept quiet by request of the State Attorney General. Thankfully however, I am able to tell you all.

Solar Storm to arrive in 2012

Like most experts in the field, Hathaway has confidence in the conveyor belt model and agrees with Dikpati that the next solar maximum should be a doozy. But he disagrees with one point. Dikpati's forecast puts Solar Max at 2012. Hathaway believes it will arrive sooner, in 2010 or 2011.

"History shows that big sunspot cycles 'ramp up' faster than small ones," he says. "I expect to see the first sunspots of the next cycle appear in late 2006 or 2007—and Solar Max to be underway by 2010 or 2011."

Who's right? Time will tell. Either way, a storm is coming.

2000-year-old 'computer'

Alternate science fans have known of this for a long time, the 2nd century BC Greek astronomical calculator with 37 gear-wheels. Now it has been deciphered using X-ray technology, and it is more impressive than previously thought.

The calculator function could add, multiply, subtract & divide.

It could align the number of lunar months with years and display where the sun and the moon appeared in the zodiac.

It also had a dial that predicted when there was a likely to be a lunar or solar eclipse, and it took into account the elliptical orbit of the moon.

White Buffalo Calf Killed by Lightning 11/2006
Lightning strike kills white buffalo
(Published Monday, November 27, 2006 12:13:08 PM CST)

Gazette Staff

Lightning on Sunday night struck and killed two buffalo cows and three buffalo calves, including a white buffalo-Miracle's Second Chance-on the Heider farm south of Janesville, Dave Heider said this morning.

Heider discovered the five dead buffalo when he went to check on the animals this morning before going to work.

The white calf's mother was walking around and grunting, so Heider followed her up the hill where he found the five dead buffalo with burn marks laying near a tree.

He thinks it was one lightning strike that hit all five and the nearby tree.

The farm became a destination for thousands of visitors after Miracle, a female white buffalo, was born there on Aug. 20, 1994. In 1995, visitors to the Heider farm increased tourism to Rock County by 22 percent.

White buffalo are extremely rare and are said to fulfill a Native American legend foretelling peace.

Miracle died in 2004 and is now stuffed in the Heider gift shop.

A male white buffalo was born on the farm Aug. 25 this year.

"How many times in a lifetime does lighting strike?" Heider said to The Janesville Gazette after the second birth.

Sunday's storm answered his question, again.

Earlier this year, lightning struck a couple of his Scottish Highlander cows, Heider said, but it had never happened to any of his buffalo.

He said they figured they'd better "call it in and get it on the news wire" so people wanting to visit the white buffalo wouldn't be surprised.

"I suppose it's going to be a great loss to a lot of people," he said.

Since the August birth, "a lot of people" have called about visiting the farm, including people from Canada, he said.

Sunday night's thunderstorm brought 0.24 inches of rain to the area.

"It's just coincidence, I guess, that lightning struck twice," he said. "He (Miracle's Second Chance) was born in a storm and died in a storm."

(Note: I've been looking for links which are Native American interpretations of this event--none so far. 12/21/06 jk

Lakota Spiritual Leader On Wisconsin White Buffalo Calf
By Stephanie M. Schwartz

19th Sept 2006

To nearly all the American Indian Nations and Canadian First Nations, white buffalo calves are considered highly sacred. To the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota Siouxan Nations, they play a primary role in their traditional beliefs and prophecies.

Since the rare birth of the white buffalo calf, Miracle, on the Heider Family farm in Janesville, Wisconsin in 1994, numerous white buffalo calves have been born across the country. Interestingly, like Miracle, most of these calves have been born on farms owned by non-Native American people. Additionally, as a symbol of hope for peace, people from many cultures have come to know about and honor these creatures.

Miracle died unexpectedly in 2004 of natural causes at only ten years of age; an event which created shock across the indigenous nations and around the world. Now, another sacred white buffalo, named Miracle's Second Chance by Valerie Heider, has been born on the same farm in Wisconsin during a lightning storm on August 25, 2006.

David Swallow, Teton Oglala Lakota traditional spiritual leader from the Pine Ridge Reservation, spoke today on the significance and message he sees in this calf's birth.
He clearly believes that the name for this calf was actually part of the message. He said, "The name is right, it is no accident, the birth of Miracle's Second Chance is yes, a second chance for all humanity." And since, to his people, lightning represents the destruction of evil, Swallow feels the message is the strongest yet.

Swallow went on to explain that, "It is not the normal average person or even the normal government people who bring such danger and destruction to the world. It is those who walk in greed and envy who feed the prophesied many-headed serpent who is foretold to consume its supporters."

Swallow explained that the traditional stories of his people tell that the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Woman came at a time of great need and great strife and war to bring the people back to peace, to living in a good way. She initially appeared to two men. In this first encounter, one of the men was honored, the one who showed respect and right spiritual action. The other was consumed and turned to dust because of his evil intentions.

Swallow believes so it will happen in our world again today, "The birth of this calf symbolizes this, that evil will be destroyed," he said.
His words spoke that, "It is time that the white nations and all mainstream cultures return to living in a good way, in peace and harmony with each other and with Grandmother Earth. Only by doing so, will life continue in our world."

But Swallow was clear that there was also a message for the indigenous nations as well. He pointed out that the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Woman had brought the sacred c'anunpa, the sacred pipe, to his people that they might use it to pray in a good way so that their sincere prayers might be heard by the Divine.

Swallow issued a call to all those who carry a c'anunpa. He said, "The Sacred Pipe carriers, whether they are Native American or not, need to get their sacred c'anunpas out and use them every day to pray for peace and harmony to return to our world in a good way. Pray that the "money" people will wake up and stop destroying Grandmother Earth for profit and that her health will return. You can make a difference, a very real difference. The c'anunpas need to be used for this purpose by all who carry them. They need to do this every day and to walk with these prayers in their hearts"

Swallow continued, "My English is not good. I have to be careful because sometimes I use the wrong words and am misunderstood. But everyone needs to understand this clearly: We all need to pray, whether you have a c'anunpa or not, whether you are American Indian or not. We need to pray because it will only be by prayer that the world will be saved. It will only be by prayer that the hearts of those who are destroying the world can be changed."

Swallow ended by saying, "I have said this is our second chance for humanity. I pray that people will wake up and hear the message. Our lives and our world depend on it." "Ho hecetu yelo, I have spoken."

Black Hole that does 27,000 rpm

That's right, either the fundamentals are wrong, or this black hole spins on its axis 27 thousand times every minute!

GRO J1655-40 has two powerful jets of plasma rushing away from its poles at nearly the speed of light. The illustration above is said to depict both a polar jet and the surrounding accretion disk. But how this curious reversal of gravity’s influence actually works is not yet clear, the theorists say.

Recent investigation has also found that GRO J1655-40 displays an unexpected flickering some 450 times a second. How would the mathematicians respond to something never envisioned by a model that worked only with mass, density, and rotation? Very simply. The hidden black hole must be rotating at an amazing 27,000 rpm, somehow creating an energetic “lighthouse” beam of radiation.

900 B.C. or earlier, writing system discovered

A previously unknown writing system, with symbols that tend to look like pineapples, possibly the earliest example from the New World, has been found on a stone block in Veracruz, Mexico. Dating from about 900 B.C. (400 years before writing was considered to have first appeared in the Americas) it seems to be from the ancient Olmec civilization and could even contain poetry!

Judaculla Rock

This is new to me, and I have no idea if it is real or fake, if it has meaning or is meaningless, but it reminds me of a parallel world where aliens are "blobby" (wish I had a better word) and hold hands.

Radix: Prophecy in Fiction?

I've only just heard of this book, and have ordered it - Radix by A.A. Attansio. It sounds uncannily similar to my own ideas, ideas based on science and history:

"The story takes place in a future earth after it becomes transformed from a beam of energy/radiation that washes over the earth from a super-massive black hole in the galaxies core."

Space elevators: killer radiation!

Space elevators are touted as a novel and cheap way to get cargo, and possibly people, into space one day. So far, they have barely left the drawing board, but ultimately robots could climb a cable stretching 100,000 kilometres from Earth's surface into space.

But there is a hitch: humans might not survive thanks to the whopping dose of ionising radiation they would receive travelling through the core of the Van Allen radiation belts around Earth.

Solutions include moving the elevator away from the equator, which will only reduce the radiation slightly, and shielding, but "a shield would weigh down the whole apparatus, disrupting the natural motion of the cable."

DNA, 2012 & Shamans

There's an article out that looks at DNA, 2012 & transformation. Here's an excerpt:

That is, it is DNA that shape-shifts us between our subtle energy soul light body form and dense energy physical matter body form lifetime-after-lifetime. If you will, you can’t kill us because we can switch back and forth from a physical and non-physical body faster than the speed-of-light. We do this information transfer right now in fact. We toggle between our two bodies at the cellular level each and every second within the zero-point field in order to recreate our cells and the world around us. I wasn’t certain of this until a maverick science writer, Lynne McTaggart of London, England published The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe. She confirmed to my demanding satisfaction: "Death may be merely a matter of going home or, perhaps, staying behind—returning to The Field." The Field is the Mind of God. This is gnosis, the knowing that we all hunger to rediscover now leading up to Revelation 2012. It is what Apostle Paul called “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations; Christ in you, the hope of Glory.” (Colossians 1:26-27)

Radiation Shielding in Space

he Earth's protective atomsphere protects us from cosmic radiation - but in space the options are to provide shielding or take a gamble. Experts are unsure of how much radiation is safe, but at least this article mentions the possible shielding materials (handy for those who want to cover all cataclysmic possibilities on Earth):

The best option is where the shielding material also adds to the structural integrity of a ship as a whole. "When any material used as a radiation shield can serve a dual purpose, mission costs can usually be reduced," says Rapp. "For space radiation shields, materials with high hydrogen content generally have greater shielding effectiveness, but often do not possess qualities that lend themselves to the required structural integrity of the space vehicle or habitat." Rapp adds that graphite nano-fiber materials heavily impregnated with hydrogen may one day form the basis of future spacecraft shielding. But for now, radiation tests are predominantly conducted using aluminum or regolith shielding (virtually all of the lunar surface is comprised of regolith).

..."A 400-day round trip transit to and from Mars, and about 560 days on the surface... with 15 g/cm2 of aluminum shielding [would equal] about double the allowable annual dose for each leg of the trip to and from Mars." At the very least, Rapp says that at this time: "radiation effects and the effectiveness of shielding remain uncertain."

Obelisks mark ancient equator
The ancient equator, with a pole in Alaska, from 10,000 years ago - prior to the last poleshift, has been proposed by others before. Given the number of existing ancient sites, I dismissed this "alignment" as merely a statistical probability - given enough sites, some are bound to line up in an approximate manner..

However, this alignment includes:

Sacred Site Distance from Ancient Equator
------------ ------------------------------

The Great Pyramid 0 miles
Machu Picchu 3 miles
Nazca 0 miles
Easter Island 9 miles
Anatom Island 0 miles
Angkor Wat 85 miles
Mohenjo Daro 7 miles
Persepolis 6 miles
Petra 3 miles

And, as I am amazed to learn from Robert Berringer, two of these sites contain very similar markers, the sort of markers one would create to mark the equator, as we do today in , and again.

The ancient markers are both created by carving a large body of solid rock until, only an obelisk exists. What are the odds of two cultures from opposite ends of the world to create the same type of monument???

One is the , Machu Picchu, although quite small, the obleisk is definitely carved from rock.

The other is in Petra: , on the Attuf Ridge.

Supernova - Twice As Bright!

A supernova more than twice as bright as others of its type has been observed, suggesting it arose from a star that managed to grow more massive than theoretically predicted.

Why is this big news? Well, whatever the safe distance (in light years) from a supernova used to be, you can now half it. Or more. If they have found one that is twice as bright, you can guarantee that one 10x as bright will occur somewhere in the Universe
