From the desk of Editor Michael Knight.

First I must say how much I appreciate the fact that you are an ECR Subscriber.

Second – I’m working diligently on setting up the system for the New Earth Change Report (paid subscriber version).

However there have been some hosting and site problems.

That included losing most of last week’s Earth Change Report a few hours after it went on line. Some subscribers have also been unsubscribed because of a bug in the system.

So I’m shifting to using new software and a new hosting service – which in turn takes time.

This may (or may not) include using my company’s logo. It’s an ink well and quill pen – the pen being mightier than the sword.

The inkwell is designed as a pyramid which is intended to illustrate that it has been opened to reveal the power within.

The pyramid is an ancient symbol – but it may be misconstrued by those who are familiar with its misuse in other contexts. So a final decision has yet to be made. (Like it?).

_____________________________

As soon as the technicalities are resolved, I’ll be sending out Earth Change Report directly to your In Box. All subscribers will receive this basic free newsletter.

A separate list is being established for the more comprehensive and much more detailed paid version. It is not intended to be a light-weight newsletter either.

Speaking of which – in case it slipped your mind – if you haven’t yet followed through on your ‘yes’ to the newsletter poll, there are two payment options on this page.

At the same time, I am building a new web site – so if you see any odd things when you visit in the next week or so, that’s the reason. I may have almost 50 years experience as a writer (20 of them preparing for earth changes) but I am still an internet newbie.

But we (and I mean ‘we’) need the facilities at the new web site so you can access and download the very important preparedness information which I am putting into e-book form.

A feature of this information about earth changes and what’s coming up is that it creates butterflies in the stomach. Insecurity, uncertainty, even fear. You can deal with that by brushing it off – or, we can deal with it by gathering information and taking action.

Here in the US after a March of record rainfalls in some areas (and two weeks of unseasonable snow where I live) nine tornadoes hit Missouri this week. Now, there are flood warnings out for eastern Oklahoma, southern Missouri, northern Arkansas, southern Illinois and Indiana, and into western Kentucky.

Fortunately the resorts are relatively well stocked, the roads will probably reopen in a day or two, and the tourists will head home in their buses and trains and planes.

It’ll probably never cross their mind that none of us is really safe from disaster – even a minor disaster like increasing food prices, which will be followed before long by actual food shortages – even here in the US.

The Economic Times reports that since Cyclone Sidr devastated Bangladesh, killing at least 3500 people, leaving millions (yes, millions) homeless, and destroying huge cropping areas, Bangladesh is in the market for 3 million tonnes of wheat and rice.

Where will it come from?

It will come from an ever-diminishing and soon-to-disappear crop yield from elsewhere.

Consider what CNN founder Ted Turner had to say today: “We'll be eight degrees hotter in ten, not ten but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals.”

Is he wrong?

Only in that he says (after correcting himself) that it’ll be 30 or 40 years down the road. And that’s a mantra that you can detect in almost all the media these days. It’s always 30 or 40 years down the road.

Like my cousins Ernest and Frank I have real reservations about the mainstream media, government spokesmen, politicians, and all those who assume their ‘authority’ is such that we must accept what they say at face value.

The fact is they have ulterior motives. Their agenda requires that ‘the masses’ be kept in check, kept in ignorance, kept in the dark.

However, they are geniuses at what they do. They know that 87 per cent of the population relies on their version of what’s going on – so they project this concept that it will be 30 or 40 years before anything really bad happens. And 87 per cent of the population stays asleep.

For those who advocate depopulation (Ted Turner has his own views on that), this is perfect – because an awful lot of people are going to be caught in terrible circumstances when the food supply dries up in the next few years.

Not 40 years from now. How about four or less?

The supply is already way behind demand.

But is cannibalism really an option? Or is that just bad taste?

Okay – that’s dark humor. Tongue in cheek sort of thing...

The thing is we can be aware and prepare – or wonder what happened.

If we gather information, we don’t need people like Ted Turner, or organizations like the IPCC or the UN or even government ‘experts’ to tell us what to expect, what to think and how to act. By all means listen to them – but only as an information resource.

__________________________

Now that we know about Earth Changes, and how serious they will be, what do we do?

It all starts with getting one’s own house in order – as I am doing with this internet business and Earth Change Report.

Yes – I’m doing this as much for myself as I am for present and future subscribers. But that’s my style. Doing this intensive research and investigative work keeps me focused on what’s happening – what I must do to get through what’s happening – so I’ll never have to say to myself “what happened?”

Some of the ebooks I’m planning will be free. They’ll cover basics like lists of good stuff to get, product reviews, that sort of thing.

Others will be more comprehensive. They’ll sell for only a few dollars each. (I’m relying on ‘many’ sales to cover time and costs involved, rather than jacking up the price – and that’s because the majority of people seem to be in the low-income region; and yet, all of us do need this info in order to prepare as best we can).

Very special items (such as plans and instructions for a really strong in-earth shelter) will be well worth whatever price we put on them.

And is there a future worth looking forward to?

Of course there is.

Let’s just assume that all these “abrupt” changes happen within the next three or four years…let’s assume the Mayan calendar prophecies (and others) about 2012 being a pivotal year are accurate.

Then what?

Well, then comes the “after effects.”

And they are good ones.

There is brilliant new technology coming forward. We’ll get into that as well.

Others see an end to war and corruption and oppressive governments and religions.

It’s time for change in all those areas.

It’s time for us as individuals to become what we truly have the capacity to be – not human units to be exploited, but sovereign individuals with great minds, prepared to learn what we can become rather than relying on others to do our thinking for us.

Some see communities of like-minded people re-establishing, in a new way, the basics of society in which love is used wisely, children are taught to reach their full potential, and people are no longer serfs or servants or wards or slaves to Visa and Mastercard and predatory banks.

There is so much to look forward to, so much to prepare for, so much to focus on that is a positive outcome.

Time is short. Yet we can all create extra money. So I will also include information about doing business on the internet.

I may be a newbie at the technical side of things, and that’s good. It has meant that I have tried and fried with a number of online endeavors – and gradually come upon services and methods that are very effective and very reliable.

For example, I’m building the new web site with MyFeeWebsiteBuilder (see it here) that comes with literally hours of video instruction. It has literally saved me hundreds of dollars. Is that a bargain? Of course).

When the time is right, I’ll be inviting people to be affiliates and sell DVDs like Contact Has Begun on commission. It’s a message that needs to reach a much wider audience, as does the work of Miceal Ledwith. But it’s not about the money. It’s about the future – and we are responsible for creating it.

To conclude. Whether you continue to receive only the Basic ECR (the free streamlined one) or the paid version (the sophisticated in-depth Premium version) I believe I have a responsibility to provide you with information that is relevant and useful.

Earth Change Report is therefore not just about how the earth is changing – it is also about how we can change, individually, responsibly, and in doing so create a future in which our species is at last in harmony with itself, and the earth – in evolution.

Earth Change Report is about a change for the better.

In which case, I would suggest you forward this newsletter to others - the ones you care about - NOT the ones who don't care...and if they're interested they'll follow this link to subscribe to the future free edition.

Sincerely.

Michael Knight.
