As mentioned in the previous post, Clif High's Web Bot seems to have been quite accurate concerning the events of the past several months alone. If you haven't heard his most recent interview on Truth Frequency Radio, scroll down to the previous post. The Web Bot's linguistics analysis has also pointed to the period around March 25th, indicating that the world will enter into a phase of what they describe as "release language," which is indicative of the occurrence of a major event. The fact that the period of release language is supposed to last seventh months portends the potential event (sometime around to March 25th) as being rather large. Whether this has something to do with the events unfolding in Japan at present is unknown, however, the Web Bot did predict "ill winds" and "radioactive volcano" during the early months of 2011. One of the important things to remember in terms of this type of speculation is that we exist within a quantum field of possibilities, probabilities and likelihoods, all of which can change at any given point in time, based upon the constant unfolding of events in any particular manner.
Couple that with 9Nania's YouTube quake prediction two days before the 9.0 quake (since upgraded) hit Japan, along with many other warnings from various sources, one has to wonder if we have indeed entered a time of quickening in terms of the pace and speed of earth-changing events. The rebellions and revolutions continue in North Africa and the Middle East, and the hacker group Anonymous is currently attempting to organize what they are calling "
The Siege" - a series of peaceful demonstrations at the various Federal Reserve Bank locations around the continental US in attempt to shut down the bank. Whether such an event will have any effect remains to be seen.
As always, beware the
meme. There appears to be chatter reaching fever pitch around the web right now concerning a major quake hitting either the US west coast and/or the New Madrid Fault Zone (central US) within the next ten days. Along with that chatter, we have people who fear radiation poisoning from Japan buying up potassium iodide pills at pharmacies all over southern California to the point where most places sold out of the pills several days ago. From what I've read, one should only take those pills in the event of major nuclear fallout in one's immediate area, and anyone over forty years old should not take the pills at all. Other factors like the full moon - or
super moon - which will arrive Saturday, March 19th, as well as the recent fish deaths in Redondo Beach have locals in southern California talking about the potential of a major earthquake.
Virtually everyone who has lived southern California for at least ten years would agree that we are long overdue for a major quake. Although we have quakes here often, and there has been considerable cluster activity to the south near Mexicali, Mexico, along with various points up and down the west coast, we have not had a 5.0 quake in the Los Angeles area in a long time. The
Northridge Earthquake, which occurred on January 17, 1994 was a magnitude 6.7. I was still on the east coast at that time, but from what locals and the media have said, the shaking lasted approximately six seconds. Although there was a lot of destruction, the Northridge quake was centered north of the city of LA. Contrast that with the Sendai / Honshu 9.0 quake in Japan, during which time the shaking lasted nearly five minutes. Coupled with the 200+ aftershocks, it must be a frightening time in northern Japan and my thoughts and prayers are with its people.
The numbers on the Richter Scale, from 1 to 10 are exponents, rather than integers. Each whole-number increase represents a ten-fold increase in the magnitude of a seismic event. From 1.0 to 3.0 is an increase of a factor of 100, and to go from 1.0 to 4.0 indicates an increase by a factor of 1,000. The scales of magnitude thus become ever greater, and while a whole-number increase on the Richter Scale indicates an increase of amplitude by a factor of 10, it represents an increase of energy by a factor of about 31. Various geologists and nuclear power experts have been appearing on the media here saying that our nuclear reactors are safer and/or better in construction than those in Japan. General Electric (GE) built the reactors in Japan. GE also owns a portion of one of the few remaining major media outlets, NBC Universal (NBC, MSNBC, CNBC). In the event of a major quake along the San Andreas Fault in California, say an 8.0 or greater, depending on the depth of such a quake, I wouldn't hold out much hope for safety from the same kind of events that are unfolding currently in Japan.
Anyone in the US with any sense of observation and information savvy knows that the government here is not highly concerned with the safety of its people, and hasn't been for at least the past ten years. They were wrong about the impact of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill, wrong in terms of damage, impact, cost of repair, timelines of repair and long term health consequences. It took them nearly ten years for them to
partially respond to the health concerns of the 9/11 first-responders (many of whom have since died), which in and of itself is a disgrace. New York is my hometown. I've lived there twice in my life. Other than London and San Francisco, it's my favorite city. During 9/11, I was living in Boston on the east coast, about a 3-4 hour drive from NY. Some friends and I were on the verge of driving down to NYC on the morning of the 11th to help as volunteers. By mid-day, the media had told people to not to come, and those friends who were living in NY at the time had told us via cell phones that they were leaving the island of Manhattan, so we didn't go. When I look back on it now, although we were ready and willing to help, I'm glad we didn't go, given the lack of concern of the government for the safety of those who helped with the disaster. The long term health effects of Katrina and the BP spill aftermath are completely different stories that continue to unfold.
With all of the above said, my thoughts once again turn inward, where I consider the many teachings of both the indigenous and contemporary spiritual teachers who have warned us about a quickening of events that will usher in the dawn of a new era in human consciousness. We are all one. Now is the time to live from the heart. Then again, that should always be the case. My left-brain and its analytical nature says that all of the chatter and memes about earthquakes, radiation and sociopolitical changes mean nothing, and that life will go on the way it always has. Perhaps that will be the case. I do not know at this point in time. However, like many others I have had dreams and visions that portend events akin to a quickening and an unraveling of what we in the western world have known as relatively "normal" life for some time. In late 2009 during my other-worldly kundalini-like experience, I was shown vast areas of rubble and destruction. I have chosen not to focus on the latter. Rather, I use it as a reminder of the importance of living in and from the heart, in a quest to discover more about the nature of the universe and why we are here.
I will leave you with a few interesting articles that I have found recently, along with a warning from Jim Berkland concerning a potential seismic event on the west coast of the US. I don't put much faith in the US media outlets anymore, least of all Fox (Faux) News. All of the major outlets have become a cacophony of trite and meaningless political tripe, punctuated with this country's ever-increasing appetite for celebrity / political gotchas and exercises in stupidity. Our cable news channels are an endless carousel of nattering nabobs, talking heads who appear to enjoy listening to their own voices and opinions rather than focusing on actual news. In recent months I have been streaming
Al Jazeera, which by contrast appears to be featuring hardcore news reporting about 90% of the time, as opposed to biased opinion and rhetoric. It's no surprise to me that our media in the US has turned into a cesspool. They are all owned by major corporations and are extremely agenda driven. Some have ties to the military industrial complex. It is those same corporate powers who are crusading within our government at present to redesign the internet as we know it in this country to favor only large corporations, thus squelching or silencing independent media, free expression and free speech.
In terms of the potential of a nuclear catastrophe in Japan, for anyone who is not familiar with the severity of radiation sickness, I recommend reading John Hershey's book,
Hiroshima
. I read it at age 13 and never forgot what a horror it was for those poor people who suffered and died due to radiation sickness. For those of us along the US west coast, if either a quake strikes or radiation levels become critical here due to an escalation of meltdowns in Japan, there aren't many place to go. There are mountains and deserts to our east, and a mass evacuation or exodus would be virtually impossible within a short period of time, as our highways and roads are already clogged with traffic nearly every day. I am particularly vulnerable at the moment, living on the edge of physical sustainability without the ability to prepare myself for either type of event. I don't feel bad about that, although I am ready to leave in search of a higher purpose should some type of event occur. I have been and remain extremely calm, knowing that the Universe has placed me exactly where I need to be and will always do so. It is, however, cause for concern that the unfolding nuclear events in Japan currently have no end in sight. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan, those in North Africa and the Middle East who are struggling to be free from oppression and all people around the world who are suffering.
