Better, newer and complete - it isn't an exact replica, but one designed for NZ. And it isn't made from stone, but rather wood and "coated with cement and covered in plaster sculpted to look like stone". I think the best aspects of it are that it can be educational and inspiring, and it could also be a cool place for rituals and weddings.

"Vandals have damaged Peru's famous 12-cornered Inca stone in the Andean tourist city of Cusco by scarring it with a sharp metal object. The stone, which is both a national symbol and one of Cusco's best-known tourist sites, was damaged on Thursday night with either a nail, a screwdriver or a chisel.

The stone has a scar which is 15 centimeters (6 inches) long and 4 centimeters (1.6 inches) wide, and can not be repaired because officials could not find the shards the vandals chopped off.

...The large gray stone, a product of Inca craftsmanship thought to have energizing properties, is part of an outside wall in the palace of Cusco's archbishop and is on permanent display, unprotected by glass or plastic."

Hopefully this will prompt officials worldwide to better protect such relics...

This time it is near Cyprus:

"After a decade of intense study an American, Robert Sarmast, claims to have evidence to prove that the fabled island lies 1.5 kilometres deep in the sea between Cyprus and Syria. He says he has detected "around 48" of the 50 geographical features described by Plato before it was "swallowed up by the earth"."

Betcha the pics are incredibly murky and could be anything...

"A team of U.S. and Guatemalan archeologists says it has discovered important Mayan monuments covered with texts from the ceremonial ball court at the Cancuen palace in northern Guatemala.

The researchers said the discovery is providing new information about the final years before the collapse of the ancient Mayan civilization."

More than just Earth Changes

So, all in all, what we're seeing is a lot more than just what they call Earth Changes. Some people get into the idea that there is an interaction Between the Earth and the Sun that's going on here. Very, very few people are aware of the work that is being done in the Russian National Academy of Sciences in Siberia, specifically in Novosibirsk, where they are doing this research.

They've come to the conclusion that the only possible thing that could be causing this energetic change all throughout the Solar System is that we are moving into an area of energy that is different - that is higher.

The glowing plasma at the leading edge of our Solar System has recently increased 1000 percent

Now, check this out. The Sun itself has a magnetic field, of course, and that magnetic field creates an egg around the Solar System, which is known as the heliosphere. The heliosphere is shaped like a teardrop, with the long and thin end of the drop pointing in the opposite direction from the direction that we're traveling. It's just like a comet, where the tail is always pointing away from the Sun.

The Russians have looked at the leading edge of this heliosphere, and they have observed glowing, excited plasma energy there. This plasma energy used to be 10 astronomical units deep (an astronomical unit is the distance from the Earth to the Sun, 93,000,000 miles). So ten astronomical units represents the normal thickness of this glowing energy that we used to see at the front end of the Solar System. Today, that glowing plasma has gone to 100 astronomical units deep. www.fourwinds10.com

I was reading about the Photon Belt courtesy of Clow in 1997 - but its the sort of thing that, well over time knowledge spreads. (no tinfoil beanie necessary...YET.)

A scientist named Halton Alp has been saying for years that redshift, the technique used to measure the distance of stars from Earth, is caused by more than just velocity. So, quasars that look like they are part of a cluster, are part of it, whereas orthodox scientists say it only looks like belongs there, but is actually twice as far away.

He has been shunned by orthodox science:

But if he is right it means two things:

• Big Bang is wrong, and the universe is not expanding
• Some space nasties are much closer to Earth than stated

This is similar to the "Photon Belt" promoted by some independent researchers, although there actually isn't any scientific evidence at all for the "Photon Belt".

Relevant here is the possibility that we have only recently been caught in this torrent of invisible matter that zips through everything (our bodies included), and that we might just be on the edge of it. We might feel the full force of it in 2012 - a force strong enough to shift the poles, and enough inter-galactic radiation to mutate us.

Big as Stonehenge. And he does it all with pieces of wood!

Well, 6 feet an hour I think is impressive for anyone, but too slow for the learned ancients...

"An ancient ear of corn shows that farmers made drastic genetic modifications to corn at least 4,400 years ago."

The news articles focus on "selective breeding" of years ago being the same as "genetic modification" today. But the reality is that 4,400 years ago, the corn was the same as today.

Which makes me suspect that 10,000 years ago corn was also the same. Because back then humans were just as sophisticated and clever as today.

If our world suffered a terrible cataclysm tomorrow, all traces of our advanced society might be lost - but corn would probably keep on growing!

Mohamed Sabet alerted me to the existence of a pyramid in Holland. He has put a lot of effort into studying it - read his paper - it has lots of detail on measurements and alignments - the alignment with Paris is worth further investigation...

"Unlike its ancient Egyptian counterparts, the Austerlitz pyramid is but a mere 200 years old. It was completed on 12 October 1804 by a French general, Auguste Marmont, who wanted to create a lasting monument in honour of Napoleon Bonaparte and - above all - himself. To make it even more spectacular, he placed an obelisk on top of the pyramid. The entire structure is approximately 50 metres high and stands on a hill of about the same height, giving a spectacular view of the surrounding area."

....I have just realised that there is not an online database of pyramids, so I bought an appropriate domain name and hopefully, one day, will make one....

I highly doubt it, but it is a bloody good fake. Follow the link below to see a close-up.

A distant planet that orbits the sun has been found. It is about the size of pluto and makes a orbit every 10,000 years. The scientists said this discovery was unexpected and they have never seen anything like it before

Could this be evidence of a planet that could hit us sometime around 2012?

There's been talk about changes in other planets. The following is from BBC news:

"Something unexpected is happening on distant Pluto - the outermost planet. Although it is receding from the Sun, its atmosphere is getting thicker, puzzling astronomers who expect it to "freeze-out" and contract in about 10 years. The recent changes were noted as a result of a rare cosmic alignment last year. Pluto passed in front of two faint stars whose light was dimmed by its atmosphere before being cut-off by its disc.

Data from these events indicate that Pluto's tenuous atmosphere has become swelled in the past 14 years since the last time such an occultation was observed.

What is happening on the planet will only be answered by the arrival of the Pluto-Kuiper Express mission, Pluto's first probe. It is due for launch in 2006, to reach Pluto about a decade later."

"The site construction at Thornborough is thought to have originated around 3500BC. It was used as a religious centre for at least 1,000 years after this point, perhaps even twice that long. The henges are believed to be one of the largest earthmoving projects undertaken by Neolithic man."

The only triple-henge in the world, it could be argued it matches the Orion layout found in Giza. Same time, same design...

Jupiter has x-rays coming out of the north and south poles, but Chandra has discovered that Saturn beams them out from the equator. Scientists are puzzled.

"Chandra's image shows that the X-rays are concentrated near Saturn's equator, a surprising result since Jupiter's X-ray emission is mainly concentrated near the poles. Existing theories cannot easily explain the intensity or distribution of Saturn's X-rays."

"Why?" "How?" And people pull their hair and grind their teeth in frustration. So baffling! yet there are answers for thoe who dare to look.

Many of the problems that face world society are created BY government: all with a "cloaking device" that is Plausible Deniability. If they can pull something off and make it seem as if it is strictly incredible that they are actually the ones responsible, people will go mad or perhaps worse, emotionally and mentally numb with shockedapathy rather than seeking the truth and taking a stand.

With that in mind I gladly present "The Bohemian Grove" and the obscuring cloud of plausible Deniability that surrounds it.

One concern I have is that people will assume that the only way todeal with these individuals is to wage a physical war. I daresay that drawing people intoviolence and away from human intellect and compassion is the goal of such people.

But what am I talking about? And what connection does it have to the mysterious "2012" date?

DARK SECRETS: INSIDE BOHEMIAN GROVE

Since 1873, the Global Elite Has Held Secret Meetings in the Ancient Redwood Forest of Northern California. Members of the so-called "Bohemian Club" Include Former Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan. The Bush Family Maintains a Strong Involvement. Each Year at Bohemian Grove, Members of This All-Male "Club" Don Red, Black and Silver Robes and Conduct an Occult Ritual Wherein They Worship a Giant Stone Owl, Sacrificing a Human Being in Effigy to What They Call the "Great Owl of Bohemia."

here in cyberspace there are more than a few people who can be identified by the uniform way in which their detractors criticze them: "crackpot", "lunatic" "conspiracy theorist" among the more polite comments. I am still a baby writer: I hope one day to add my name to a long list which only begins with names like David Icke, Art Bell and Alex Jones, webmaster of infowars.com and also prisonplanet.com, another not-for-profit and highly dense and linked website.

My topic is simply the tool of Plausible Deniability: the tool used by conspirators. if they are able to succesfully wheedle, cheat and lie and make it seem as if anyone who would cal out their presence is a mentally imbalanced individual, or a "boy who cried Wolf", then it is easier for them to do what they do: which is decieve the greater part of the world and manipulate the opinioons of huge masses of people.

"Control The World"

I think deeply about that term now. Just because the things I see as "controllig the world" are things like: sunlight: oxygen, plant growth, reproduction of fauna, gravity...

These "individuals" do NOT "control the world." The world is too huge and diverse. They DO however manipulate world OPINION, with propaganda, lies and direct force.

Its safe to say that they are more dangerous, far more dangerous, than any of the whistle - blowers, who, like me and I suspect many of you, desire to live in a TRULY "free world" (watch how THAT term gets casually tossed out...and think about all the things YOU don't get for free.), and a truly secure world without the specter of war adding a subconsciousl level of barely contained tension gradating to muted horror to many peoples' lives.

IF YOU GO to the website linked to above you will have a chance to watch a video that shows many noteworthy figures in world politics (Jones calls them "Illuminaries" -- i like that word!) -- at a "ritual". The nature of that ritual is also detailed on the page and in the videos that can be streamed on the site.

The recent belligerence etween the United States and Iraq saw in the media the term "religious extremist" used a great deal.

In the United States, religious extremists are deeply involved in politics at every level. It is their basic cultural bias that allows the Islamic reigiosos to be called "extremists" while their allegedly Christain counterparts in the United States are attempting to pull controversial shock-jock Howard Stern off the air for "obscenity" (as if the killing of thousands of Iraqis and Afghanis and the subsequent failure to kill Hussein and Bin Laden is not in itself obscene) and castigates Janet Jackson for showing something as natural and blatantly HARMLESS as a tit (sp).

These are indeed the Religious Extremists of the NON-Islamic world: but to see the video and accompanying pictures and stories on Jones' website: questions as to WHAT religion these people are so extreme about may arise.

and questions are GOOD.

They are either excellent replicas of the Giza pyramids, albeit covered in dirt and trees...

... or just square-shaped terraced hills that happen to be in the Orion alignment.

The "first leg" of the next Venus transit pair is on June 8th. I just wanted to share some intriguing "coincidences" about the previous known transits:

1874: Etna eruption and earthquakes around Italy and Greece 1882: Again, Etna activity and Krakatoa eruption in less than a year

1761: Some "Icelandic" eruptions 1769: Six months later (early 1770) Izalpa eruption (El Salvador)

1631: Vezuv eruption 1639: Again, some Icelandic activity

And the second leg is in.... 2012

Hey,

Ever since NASA finally admitted that there was concrete evidence that water was/or is present on Mars, I feel that I have experienced a subtle, elevated sense of consciousness (am I the only one?). I am realizing that an important piece to the evolutionary puzzle has just been put in place, but I am still not able to fully appreciate the potential rammifications.

I feel that in some ways a crucial clue to the purpose of life has been exposed and that more amazing discoveries will be found on Mars in the near future. I am confident that we will find indisputable proof that intelligent life had existed on Mars. I predict widespread broadcast of this undeniable evidence will serve to accelerate the "quickening" process, ultimately resulting in our future being guided down a more positive path.

This is based on my belief that we are in control of our own destiny and that on an individual basis or as a species, consciousness of the quickening begins with the realization of ones own evolution. In turn, a higher state of consciousness would hopefully result in humanity developing a greater willingness to put forth the effort to ensure our own survival. Am I a freakin' lunatic or does any of this make some sense? Stayin' optomistic-
