Are we living in wild times or what? The real question is just how will we live out (survive?) what appears to be going on. The stock markets around the world are crashing and WILL in the coming months. However, the financial matters are the least of our worries unless you still have your 401k invested in stocks. There’s still time to get out of the markets, and there’s still time to increase your consciousness about our universe, and life in general.

The relative lack of sun spots has everyone scratching their heads as we should be seeing great increases. Global cooling?

Just maybe we’re going to be more impacted by magnetic filaments which seem to have played havoc with our earth (can you say Haiti and Chile earthquakes?). For the fourth day in a row, a dark magnetic filament is bisecting the sun’s northeastern quadrant. Measuring more than 100,000 km from end to end, it is literally the biggest thing on the face of our star. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has a good view of the structure.

This one is the biggest of the year.

Long, active filaments like this have been known to grow unstable and erupt, producing a type of spotless flare called a “Hyder flare.” If that happens now, Earth would likely feel some effects from the blast because the filament is turning to face our planet. And what could we expect in a worse case scenario? You don’t want to go there. Suffice it to say that on the more moderate end of the consequences, more volcanoes and earthquakes.

And then there’s the sea floor issue!

Did you know that the sea floor around Australia is rising? I am no talking inches per year, but 13 feet per day! More and more things are happening that really shouldn’t. Is the 2012 events we are waiting for, starting already? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a Tsunami station in event mode activated for Station 55023 – STB Coral Sea located at 14.803 S 153.585 E (14°48’9″ S 153°35’6″ E). The tsunami station has been in event mode since the large quakes occurred in the area for several days now. This is triggered by the buoys’ anomalies of water column height above the sea floor.

If you do a data search for 2010 March 20th to 2010 April 13th you get this- Over 100 meters or 328 feet less distance from buoy to sea floor in 24 days! That’s 13 feet per day since the quakes. What’s up with that?

Indeed what’s up with so many things we can’t control?

When someone talks about earthquakes of an American fashion, all eyes focus on California. Is there a more famous earthquake than the San Andreas Fault? How about the Alaskan version? On Good Friday, March 27, 1964, an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.2 struck Prince William Sound, Alaska. This earthquake is the third largest recorded in the world. Within the first 24 hours, there were 11 aftershocks and with a magnitude greater than 6.0 and 9 more took place over the next few weeks.

But could there be an earthquake in the middle of these United States? How about a little history!

On December 16, 1811, an 8.1 earthquake with an epicenter in northeast Arkansas hit. It caused only slight damage to man-made structures, mainly because of the sparse population in the epicentral area. The future location of Memphis, Tennessee was shaken at Mercalli level nine intensity. Large waves were generated on the Mississippi River by fissures opening and closing below the surface. Local uplifts of the ground and water waves moving upstream gave the illusion that the river was flowing upstream.

Talk about optical illusions!

At New Madrid, trees were knocked down and riverbanks collapsed. This event shook windows and furniture in Washington, D.C., rang bells in Richmond, Virginia, sloshed well water and shook houses in Charleston, South Carolina, and knocked plaster off of houses in Columbia, South Carolina. In Jefferson, Indiana, furniture moved and in Lebanon, Ohio, residents fled their homes. Observers in Herculaneum, Missouri, called it “severe” and claimed it had a duration of 10–12 minutes.

So much for the history books other than to say two more major 7-8 power earthquakes hit (each a month apart) and did great damage.

Thus we have what is called the New Madrid Seismic Zone, sometimes called the New Madrid Fault Line, is a major seismic zone and a prolific source of intra-plate earthquakes (earthquakes within a tectonic plate) in the Southern and Midwestern United States stretching to the southwest from New Madrid, Missouri. For some reason my “inner voice” is telling me that while the San Andreas fault is the first choice for one of the two major earthquakes predicted for America in 2010, the New Madrid fault just might be the second one.

Ah, there’s just a little over eight months to judge if that’s the case. Hey, for me, it beats watching Dancing With The Stars!

December 21, 2012, or October 28, 2011 (Callemans date), or whatever date you want to embrace, it’s all in the minds of the beholder. Christians are looking for the Return of Jesus and/or the Rapture, the Muslims await the return of the special Imam, the White Buffalo has been born, and Jews are fighting over the right to rebuild Solomon’s Temple on the ‘temple mount’ in Jerusalem. These are all signs of “end times” by many different cultures.

Sometimes our sacred images or events come and go and nothing changes.

The Lakota Indians had been waiting for a WHITE BUFFALO. Well, Miracle, the Sacred White Female Buffalo Calf, was born on the farm of Dave, Valerie, and Corey Heider near Janesville, Wisconsin during the morning of August 20, 1994. Not an albino, she was considered to be the first white buffalo calf born since 1933. She also died
Sept. 19, 2004.

Another myth bites the dust!

The chance of a white buffalo being born makes your odds of winning the lottery look good, Miracles likelihood, according to the numbers from the National Buffalo Association, is somewhere in the range of 6 billion. Consider also that the only other documented white buffalo this century died in 1959. His name was Big Medicine. He lived for 36 years.

Before we get to December 21, 2012 we have to get past August 1, 1010! Say what?

Could we be looking at a nuclear accident? Nuclear war maybe? Maybe a massive societal collapse, or a pole flip, which can wipe out nearly everything. Well, anything is possible with what’s called the “Cardinal Climax”, especially intimidating because of the proximity to the widely touted Mayan Calendar End Date. In the Cardinal Climax, we have the most planets in the tightest alignments and at the supposedly ‘sensitive’ Zero degrees of Cardinal signs.

Arch Crawford thinks we’re looking at something very weird and dangerous as he says, “I looked at records going back to the 1800’s, and this is the most difficult alignment I found. When I was at a conference in Boston last month, someone said this was the most difficult alignment they have seen in the last “1,000 years.” Another person told me this is the worst alignment in “10,000 years.”

But, since Arch is a Wall Street guru of sorts, he’s not predicting the end of the world, just a TOTAL WIPE OUT of the world’s economic system! Whew. I thought for a moment there that it could be serious. Well, maybe it is if you’re in the stock market and have any of your 401k left by this summer.
