"Of course you may use the photos. You can use my name too. That won't bother me. People must be made aware that these beings do exist. How can anyone deny them esp. when one has had many contacts with them. Kind Regards - Jo"

That's the reply to my request for permission to use a couple of extraordinary photographs under the headline

If you think that ovalish cloud is a cloud, you've been snorting too much....

ETs do not all live in our frequency - some of them have mastered the dimensions, which means they can come and go from here, but spend a lot of time in what we would see as a "cloaked" state - invisible to our eyes but masters of time and space.

Apparently, as this pic taken near what looks like a cell tower seems to indicate, they also phone home for free.

Seriously though, an excellent article here on Torsion Field technology will set your head straight. Or spinning.

James Gilliland speaks of his contacts - and of the future.

The documentary also includes a lot of science-based information about Earth Changes - such as the sudden shut-down of the Atlantic Current, which in turn will cause Europe to freeze down to the Pyrenees virtually overnight.

You will never see that mentioned in the MSBS [Mainstream....] outlets - but there's a 99% chance that some scientists already expect it to happen; they just won't release the story. And it's getting closer by the minute.

So let's talk about earth changes.

But we'll start with a reminder that it's entirely possible for you to change your personal future - which means you can survive whatever's ahead - if you plan well enough, and are prepared to change accordingly.

It's called exercising free will and self responsibility - both of which go a long way toward nullifying anxiety.

It doesn't matter a damn what other people think - a well prepared person is a sensible person.

Here's a classic example of a journalism intro that says two things at once and nothing logical at the same time.

JAKARTA (AFP) – "Powerful earthquakes that have jolted Asia recently do not presage a disaster, although it is only a matter of time before the next catastrophe befalls the quake-prone region, seismologists say."

If you read the story in full you'll find scientists saying the usual "not to worry" "nothing unusual" things they always say, and that in turn lulls most folks into a false sense of security.

Somehow they conclude that because a scientist said it, there's really nothing to worry about for who-knows-how-long into the future.

But here's another way to interpret such stories. Take the words "only a matter of time..."

Ask yourself, "how much time?"

The answer is that you and I haven't got a clue (which means we're every bit as good as the most credentialed scientists when it comes to predicting earthquakes).

But if it's "only a matter of time" - and time is ticking by right now - "the big one" really could happen tomorrow - or tonight.

Therefore we're all on "borrowed time" - which I suggest we should be using as "planning time."

If you're thinking for yourself, logically, you'd be planning to be somewhere safe when it happens.

Might I suggest somewhere up in the mountains. They might rock and roll a bit, but you're a lot safer there than near the coast - any coast - when you consider that tsunamis can circle the globe.

And then there is Hurricane Bill currently thrashing its way up the US East Coast.

EDGARTOWN, Mass. — "The U.S. Coast Guard says three people have been rescued after being swept out to sea by a rogue wave from Hurricane Bill at a park in Maine."

Seems like there are still people in this world who need first hand experience of what Nature can do in a heart-stopping heartbeat.

For you folks in Australia, here's a blog site worth checking out. I call it the Oz blog on surviving 2012.

Given the way New Zealand is getting closer, I'd suggest you prepare for the worst:-)

Yep - a "sea egg" underground that's made of concrete and steel in the strongest shape on the planet.

Remember, dinosaurs used these things to bear their young (which has nothing to do with today) but an underground shelter in the shape of an egg, custom built or home built, seems like the ultimate in preparedness for whatever's coming down the pike. (Spider Woman Not Included).

Aside from having food and water sufficient for at least a month, there are other things you can do right now to be prepared.

Here in the north it's getting into harvest time, and this weekend we have just canned 35 one-pint jars of Swiss Chard (aka silver beet)fresh from our own garden.

...and did you know that pressure canned meat can last many years? Even cakes can taste good after a decade (that's true - we had one recently that she canned in 1994, and it was just like fresh).

You'll also be aware that food in the pantry is sometimes better than money in the bank.

Given the number of banks that are crashing in the US alone at present, we should also be prepared for the possibility of a "bank holiday" sometime in the future - perhaps the near future.

(A "bank holiday" is what happens when the bastards shut themselves down so you can't get your money, while they purportedly are restructuring themselves for your benefit. Or heading for the Ritz or Riviera to spend the bailout money they got before they went insolvent).

Therefore it would be prudent to pull out enough cash to keep you going for a while (how much and for long to be determined by you).

And don't forget the simple things - toilet paper, feminine products, tobacco (barter it at five times the retail price:-) scotch and soda (personally I hate it), pet foods, kitty litter. Chicken and domestic stock foods etc etc. Make a list. Do a bit at a time.

Is Climate Change "really" caused by humans?

To a degree, indeed it is. After all, we've chopped down vast expanses of forest for fuel over the last few hundred years - and then we discovered fossil fuels and added their noxious gases to the atmosphere.

That's what we now breathe.

BUT - true as that is - how often have we considered that the climate may be changing because the planet itself is changing - as a result of what we have done to it?

(I know, I say this often - but it bears repeating for those who are new subscribers).

Climate Change is in fact only one of the components of Earth Changes.

Example: Recent records show an unusual increase in global sea temperatures - and it's a puzzle to some scientists.

Seems most of us imagine that all heat comes from the sun. But a great deal also comes from inside the earth - that molten lava that is the stuff of movies and volcanoes; the stuff that tectonic plates skid around on. The stuff that may be responsible for melting ice caps - rising sea levels - dramatic climate changes - have a happy year:-)

D'you suspect there's something strange about the rush to vaccinate the world against swine flu?

If so, today's post at

swineflublogger.com is well worth a visit.

It includes a link to a Youtube video on what is going on behind closed doors - plus some questions about a very questionable web site. You can (please) join the discussion and leave comments there.

Another Question: D'you think all this swine flu hoopla is being used to hide other activities from scrutiny?

It's quite likely, since nothing happens in politics unless it was planned that way (according to some long-forgotten US president).

Have you noticed we're not hearing much these days about hunting down and prosecuting the torture advocates in the previous administration. Upping the ante by stepping up the war in Afghanistan isn't getting huge attention any more either.

And have you heard anything about the possibility of the United States planning an October Surprise for Iran? Talk about "Wag The Dog - Again.

Meantime - as uncertain as the future may appear - have you started stocking up on enough food to keep you going for a month, just in case you have to self-quarantine yourself and your family? And don't forget water.

"...a team of specialists in advanced materials and electrochemistry has produced what could be the single most important breakthrough for clean, alternative energy since Socrates first noted solar heating 2,400 years ago.

"The battery breakthrough comes from a Salt Lake company called Ceramatec."

And here's a nickel-iron battery from the Edison era - still getting rave reviews because apparently they still work wonders "for your off-grid system or on-grid backup." (Not widely available of course - no great profit in something that doesn't wear out).

A subscriber recently mentioned a series of books about Anastasia - a woman of the taiga type in Russia. (Not what you think, guys, and certainly not the youngest daughter of Romanov Tsar Nicholas II).

Just so happens I have a couple of books in the Ringing Cedar series and started re-reading them last night.

Like many other prophets and seers, she too has envisaged a time of chaos (which we're pretty obviously in right now) - before a totally different "New World Order" than the one that is currently going through it's death throes.

They're beautiful books - uplifting in a very practical way; mind-stretching too because this remarkable lady has, since birth, been well out of the social conditioning loop that has stifled our personal evolution and crippled most of us intellectually and spiritually.

“In the book you are going to write, Vladimir, there will be unobtrusive combinations, formulations made up of letters, and they will arouse in the majority of people good and radiant feelings.

"These feelings are capable of overcoming ailments of body and soul, and will facilitate the birth of a new awareness inherent in people of the future.

"Believe me, Vladimir, this is not mysticism—it is in accord with the laws of the Universe." - Anastasia to future author Vladimir Megre.

"Her soft-spoken words go straight to your heart—like nothing you have ever read!

"And the more you read them… the better you'll feel.

"Anastasia will restore your hope for the future and re-ignite your passion for life. After reading these books—nothing will be quite the same…"

Very True. Go there... http://www.ringingcedars.com/books/
