Hi - Editor Michael Knight reporting - July 30 08
In this issue - somewhat tongue in cheek at times...and it's all here -
*The end of the (economic) world is nigh.
*Brace for (asteroid) impact....again.
*Remote viewers see the future underground.
*Faster Disaster Thermometer.
*The Future of Food ........... Earth Changes are one thing. But the most immediate impact on most of our lives is to do with money. To have or have not, that is the question.
It looks like we are heading toward a major “have not” situation.
The newsletters I subscribe to that deal with economics, are uniformly singing a gloomy song.
No doubt too, you are aware of the pain at the pump. Or at the supermarket.
In an interview on Consciousmedianetwork.com , George Green – a former banker himself who was once part of the 'insider' fraternity and who still has contacts there, recently gave a straightforward summary of what's up.
It's worth a visit and a listen – the bullet points being
# Expect the US to go into total meltdown very very soon.
# MORE major banks are going to go bust – is yours one of them?
# Credit Unions are safer than banks (they only lend to members and have tighter controls on loans etc).
# Overseas countries are no longer willing to buy US bonds (which are a debt/promise to make them money sometime in the future) because inflation in the US is outstripping their yield..
# The Euro is having its problems too – Germany leading the way by declining payments in Euros from some other Union members.
# Chinese companies are now asking for 80 per cent payment in currencies other than the US dollar.
# Container vessels plying the US-China trade have seen their fuel bills skyrocket. Now it costs five times more than previously to make the trip (that's up from say $20,000 a DAY to run their engines, to close to $100,000 a DAY) Can you see a trickle-through effect – or an avalanche of price increases?
# US banks are going belly up faster than those in the oldest profession (which is banking, I think).
# It's becoming really difficult to withdraw actual cash (like even $2500) from US banks – specially in bills bigger than 10s or 20s – and overseas countries don't want the big bills anyway.
# Green expects the foreclosures on US houses to be in the MILLIONS before too long.
# Like many others he has been suggesting for years that gold was a good investment. Now that too is getting hard to find – and rising in price. Silver is doing well. But there are waiting lists.
From other quarters, I'm hearing that the companies that have traditionally supplied bulk foodstuffs are themselves finding it hard to source grain and flour (in the US anyway).
Others have been slammed with such high demand that they're no longer taking orders.
The “Survivalists” of yesteryear now look like smart people – they remembered the Great Depression, figured another one was inevitable – and they have already positioned themselves for what's ahead.
Talking of survival – we're not muttering about subversive activities here. We're wondering how to look after the wife and family.
Some quick suggestions (I've done this, and I know for a fact that it relieves a lot of the pressure). If your vehicle is owned on time payment – do whatever it takes to bail out. Buy an older car for cash.
Quit going to the high priced supermarkets as much as you can. Check out the bulk and remainder places (like Grocery Outlet in the US). Buy canned foods on special (nothing wrong with a rack of chili for 50c or 75c a can is there?).
Start yard sale visiting asap. It's amazing what you can pick up. Things like bread machines.(The recipe is real simple – you just need flour, warm water, dried yeast, salt, sugar, and butter or oil). Hand tools are important. I also bought nails at 75c/lb.
Thrift stores have mountains of good clothes for next to nothing. Two extra sweaters just might make a big difference come winter when you turn the oil fired heater on and it sputters and says “did you pay for a fill up yet?”
The main thing is – get serious about your forward thinking. The future is getting here a lot faster than we ever expected.
....
Switching subjects – to outer space - dry tongue in cheek.
Can you believe there's an ELE headed our way? (An ELE being an “Extinction Level Event.”).
Some people say that's true.
I'm talking about a humongous asteroid that's supposedly planning a touchdown in the Atlantic in a couple of months.
Sounds like “the sky is falling”- with a twist, right?
Now I'm not going to vouch for this, but I can say that I've had this story from two different sources this week – and their sources are certainly not mainstream “official” ones either.
However, “official” sources are schooled in the art of obfuscation (also defined as BS or 'keep it under wraps'). Their job is to make you feel good about how “everything is under control” and “we'll be back to normal in no time” and “the government will do whatever it takes....”
Well, sometimes government takes the road most easily traveled – which is to NOT let us know what's really going on. (I think that's also called obfuscation, but lying by omission would do as an alternative).
So the two sources are Dr Rich Boylan – who has been writing about a possible asteroid impact since at least the year 2000. Back then he was saying it wasn't going to happen till about the year 2030.
But Boylan is also featured elsewhere with this answer to a question: "You have been fed a line of disinformation about a supposed "Planet X", supposedly arriving August, 2006. “Unless you develop skills of discernment, you will find yourself continually agitated by extreme and tall tales circulating the Internet.
“The Star Nations who have been in contact with Earth for a long time have graciously deflected more than one incoming space object that was too large to burn up safely in Earth's atmosphere. As long as we are making progress towards becoming a more spiritually and metaphysically advanced Earth society, they will continue to do so.”
To my experienced eye and instinct, those two posts seem to have been written by two different people. Maybe there are two Dr Boylans? Or maybe I'm not as experienced as I think. However there are times I personally wish I had my own contacts with the Star Nations. But so far, they haven't returned any of my calls. (Must be a lot of politicians and lawyers up there).
But when it comes to using your own discernment, rather than being agitated by extreme and tall tales, well, that makes sense to me – stay away from non-sense, or at least do your best to figure out what's wheat and what's chaff.
The other (hearsay) source about the asteroid thing is Major Ed Dames, who I'm told recently featured on a major US talkback radio show. He is a former member of a CIA remote viewing reserach project - which they spent millions on over several years then concluded it was not up to snuff. Go figure. Your tax dollars at work....
Once again, he was saying an asteroid is going to hit this planet – plus his “remote viewers” are seeing lots of people living in undergrounds in the future. He's also the man who coined the term “kill shot” for a solar flare zapping the earth. (I mention that in my ebook – but the source there is actually a scientist with a pretty good reputation). Solar flares hit earth more often than asteroids do. But they're both nasty.
Y'know – when you get this much email about these subjects, it gets a bit difficult to decide what to include in Earth Change Report. After all, an editor likes to think he has a reputation to make, or protect, so he does his picking and choosing according to what he assumes his subscribers are interested in.
But I'm not exactly that sort of editor.
I actually think readers are the ones who should be editing what they read – in other words, instead of having an editor editing in (or out) what is included in a newspaper (or this newsletter) .... how about leaving it up to the subscribers to make their own evaluations?
That's a good idea.
But as an editor I should still at least stick to things that have some connection – and preferably not too tenuous – to earth changes.
So, make of these reports what you will, I think they all give us a chance to work at figuring things out for ourselves. And for some of us, that's a whole new thing to be doing. .... Other newsletters run advertisements.
I stick to blatant plugs.
“The Future of Food.” In my ebook “Earth Changes – Mind Matters” I wrote about a Doomsday vault for seeds up in the Arctic circle.
I found a connection between the vault, and Monsanto – the giant corporation that has cornered the market on herbicides and pesticides, and also bought up billions of dollars worth of seed companies so it could corner that market as well with its genetically modified versions.
And do you know what this is likely to mean for you?
Starvation.
Here's a very interesting video link which I will punnishly say is Food for Thought. And then you'll be inspired to buy the e-book – which just happens to come with a money-back guarantee....and some genuine clues on how to mold your personal future.(That's the 'Mind Matters' part).
..... The next ebook I'm focused on - and it's almost complete - is the one that answers questions from almost 200 subscribers. Care to enter a spontaneous competition for the title (I just had that thought so this is really impromptu...email me at editor@buycontacthasbegun.com with TITLE in the subject line. Keep the suggestion to no more than five or six words...shorter the better...Whoever wins gets a free copy).
....
And so we come to the....
Faster Disaster Thermometer:-
(That's my way of introducing a few snippets of earth shattering info)...
The strongest earthquake to strike Southern California in more than a decade rattled windows, made buildings sway and sent people running into the streets on Tuesday. But there were no immediate reports of serious injuries or major damage.
"I think we were very lucky with this one,'' California's governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said. ....
"The Montserrat Volcano Observatory said without warning, the volcano spewed ash more than 40,000 feet above sea level due to the partial dome collapse on the west side of the volcano,"
NANJING, July 30 (Xinhua) -- “Disasters, triggered by tropical storm Fung Wong, have left four people dead in east China's Jiangsu Province, and one dead and four missing in the southern Guangdong Province. “A tornado, caused by the typhoon, hit Linze Town in north Jiangsu at about 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday. A clothing factory in Yangcha village was destroyed, with 18 workshops, covering more than 800 square meters, leveled, said a spokesman of the Yangzhou government.
“More than 90 people were injured in the factory, four of whom died later in hospital.”
Global warming gets a back flip in this story out of Alaska: “The coldest summer ever? You might be looking at it, weather folks say.
"In Alaska right now “the so-called summer of '08 is on pace to produce the fewest days ever recorded in which the temperature in Anchorage managed to reach 65 degrees."
Sixty five degrees does not a summer make I would think - yet it has been surprisingly cooler in the Pacific Northwest as well. What does this mean for global warming? Scientists automatically say it's not an issue – global warming happens over a period of many years...so I guess we can discount the cold in Alaska this summer? But stand by – maybe the Arctic ice will not melt this summer after all. .....
“If bees continue to disappear at the present rate, there will be no honey bees in the United States by 2035.” - A quote on a PBS “Nature” documentary I watched tonight.
How about that?
No bees. No pollination of fruit trees, crops ....and I am thinking there's a hidden connection between them disappearing, and what's coming for us. We're just further up the chain of life (we think) and far less connected to what's going on around us.
Something is killing the bees – or they're all migrating somewhere we don't know about – as if they're getting ready for some sort of holocaust. (Hyperbole? Maybe).
Blatant Plug Two: I did my best in “Earth Changes – Mind Matters” to explore in layman's terms what science is saying about earth changes.
It seems, if things play out in ever more violent ways between now and 2012, that we'd best get our act together as quickly as possible.
The ebook contains a lot of sources and resources that will help you figure it all out. There just might come a time real soon when you'll wish you'd made it an investment. It also includes some thoughts on making money on the Internet.
I built what's called a "pitch page" right here - and it's all true too.
Thanks for your time.
Be happy.
Stick around till 2013 (my ebook tells you how):-)
Sincerely.
