From Deep Space To Hollow Earth

From the desk of Editor Michael Knight June 07 07

Before we get into this week's earth changing events, let's pay a brief visit to outer space and inner earth.

A night under the stars in the Australian desert or the New Zealand mountains or in those special places some of us have visited, is enough to make a person wonder....how deep is space? How far does it go?

Then - for those of us who have seen moving stars (and I don't mean Elvis or Michael Jackson gyrating and moon walking) - there is the question:

Is there anybody there?

If you've ever seen what looks like a big satellite tracking overhead, and watched it suddenly stop in its tracks, pause for a full minute, then hit reverse and back up to where it first appeared - there is no doubt in your mind.

Of course there is "anybody there."

But who are they? What do they want? Where do they come from (or when)? And why are they here?

First up, he reminded me that I have been invited to speak at his upcoming Science Spirit and World Transformation conference next month. Dry-mouth syndrome instantly stilled my tongue.

I remembered my first visit to his sanctuary near Mt Adams (Washington) two years ago, just prior to his first such conference.

I remembered seeing a UFO fly overhead and "power up" (become extremely bright) as we looked at it.

Producer John Savage and I both saw a similar thing just before daylight the next morning - and it was undeniable that the craft we were watching actually responded to our signals.

Our signals were totally spontaneous, not very scientific, quite hilarious, had us convulsed in laughter and were completely off the wall.

After the first power up way overhead, John used his pocket-sized digital camera to flash back a response. Of course he knew it was impossible to take a picture at that distance, but light does travel fairly quickly ... and each time his camera flashed, the UFO flashed back.....three times in succession.

I would defy any armchair pundit, bone-deep skeptic or Dr Debunker PhD to come up with the mathematical probability of that being an iridium flare launched in year-whatever coincidentally synchronized in advance with a digital camera flashing three times at that precise place and moment in time.

As James says, hundreds of people have visited his ranch and seen such power ups themselves.

Hundreds are expected at this year's conference too. And among the speakers will be Dr Miceal Ledwith. He was featured in Contact Has Begun and is also author and presenter of "Orbs: Clues to a More Exciting Universe."

Here, courtesy of Mona Leigh is a Youtube video that'll give you a view of the mountain in James' back yard, and the conference hall and speakers from last year's conference.

Now I know a lot of ECR subscribers live outside the US, so you probably won't be there. But maybe you can send some kind thoughts along? After all, the plan is to heal the planet.

But if you are interested, click this link to James' web site.

Inner Earth?

Yes - the inside of the planet on which we live. As you can see from these images (purportedly from the 1969 Apollo mission, but airbrushed out of future polar images) there is a major indent or entryway at the north pole.

Though officially dead silence rules on the subject and these indents seem to have disappeared under some sort of air brushing technique in later pictures, there have certainly been a number of military/scientific expeditions to this isolated region.

In 1931 a privately funded effort was made to use a chartered US submarine (originally built in 1916) to find its way under the ice to the north pole. (Pic and info courtesy American Philosophical Society).

The sub was renamed "Nautilus" after Jules Verne's imaginary craft in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". However a series of near-disasters, including the loss of its diving trim fins (which prompted thoughts of sabotage) prevented the venture from completing its mission.

An experienced US Navy submariner who was one of the crew said however that the fins were lost when they "hit a chunk of ice." He later became a prominent figure in Washington DC's bureaucracy.

It wasn't until the US built its first nuclear powered submarine, the USS Nautilus that such a journey under the ice was finally successful.

Nevertheless, it took three attempts before the Navy was able to claim that it had crossed the north pole under the ice. The first trip was aborted because a gyro compass failed. Bad weather foiled the second.

Believe it or not, "success" was announced on the third.

Maybe I have a personally jaundiced view of this, but it seems oddly coincidental that all three of these north pole forays have some military involvement, all three are said to have been for scientific purposes - but only one of them (Byrd) hints at there being anything but ice and deep water up there.

Top that off with the fact that compasses (like the gyrocompass on the USS Nautilus) can go haywire at a certain point north, and for a simple man like me, questions remain.

{Note...this is where we come to a temporary end to this story...the rest can be found somewhere in deep space...and it has only happened four times today.....which is why I am taking time out.....MK.}

Update Sunday morning: For more about the Hollow Earth, and the story of a man who went there, the book "The Smoky God" is on line at this link.

....

As for myself - the "time out" is going to be extended. There is a great deal to reorganize and do. Chaos is always a signal that it's time to change...and that's what's happening. But for the better. It means reorganizing this web site, and a lot of other behind-the-scenes technical stuff.

About 2a.m. today I added the following section from ther new eBook. But I need time to finish the job.

So here are some links that I hope will keep us all happy.

Late Night Update on New Earth Changes eBook

It’ll take a week or so to get it done, and I intend to give it priority. So there may not be a free newsletter until it’s completed. (The NewECR will still come out on schedule. It’s a bi-weekly report, and well worth the subscription fee).

Here’s an example of a question and answer – the question requires some in-depth research, and we come up with an answer which really does have relevance for all of us.

Q“A possible scenario in Holland can be that a huge sun flare will damage our electricity. This causes failure of water pumps all over Holland. Within 24 to 48 hours the water will rise out of the ground. Can you give me an example scenario how to survive these events: sun flares and water floods?" – Marcel, Netherlands.

Let me address this question in a roundabout but broader manner by expanding the flood scenario to include much more of Europe, and the east coast of the United States (New York in particular). I’ll deal with solar flares elsewhere, but one can imagine power outages as part of any of the following scenarios.

New York city has been aware for some time that it is vulnerable to both hurricanes and rising sea levels as global warming takes hold. >a href = "http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/hazards/flooding.shtml">Flooding is an obvious consequence in both scenarios.

In 2004 approximately 1500 residents of New York City’s five boroughs were interviewed as part of an update to the New York City Hurricane Evacuation Study. They were asked about preparedness, sources of information, perceived vulnerability, and evacuation intentions.

The city recommends that residents prepare a “go bag” containing items that might be needed in an evacuation. Approximately 25% said they currently had go bags prepared.

The city also recommends that residents have an emergency supply kit containing items allowing them to survive in their home for at least three days after a hurricane or other disaster. Almost half said they currently have one.

More than half said they had identified the safest location in their home or building to ride out a strong hurricane if they had to while a substantial majority said they would evacuate in any one of three storm scenarios – the great majority intending to go to a hurricane shelter or to the home of a friend or relative,

Up to 30 per cent said they had pets, and when told pets are not allowed at shelters, 25% of them said they’d take their pets with them anyway. (This is an example of emotional attachment getting in the way of reality – is it worth putting your own life at risk because of a pet?).

The great majority said they would use their own vehicle rather than public transport. (Picture yourself in a vehicle logjam as you attempt to rush out of New York city with a hurricane or flood waters climbing up your tailpipe).

But the most telling finding of the survey was that as few as 2% had any idea what evacuation zone they lived in.

In November 2006 the Christian Science Monitor ran a feature under the headline “How to keep New York afloat: With sea levels rising, once-a-century floods may become once-in-20-year events. One solution: huge storm-surge barriers.”

A scientist from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies who was involved in the study expressed concern that rising sea levels and warmer ocean temperatures would create ideal conditions for more frequent hurricanes, which in turn would mean stronger storm surges. Add to that a three-foot sea level rise and flooding could happen every four years.

New York, a city surrounded by water, and much of it not more than 10ft above sea level, has 13,000 miles of water supply and waste pipelines. Aside from channeling water to 8 million residents, the system also has to dispose of 14 million gallons of water a day from the New York subway system.

Possible flood protection scenarios include elevating roads, raising buildings, building dikes and flood gates and even “temporary seals over tunnel entrances. One group proposes raisable flood barriers large enough to protect all of Manhattan Island.”

Such barriers – similar to those used in Britain, the Netherlands and under construction in Italy - might be built at "choke points - the Verrazano Narrows, Throgs Neck, and the Arthur Kill…(which would)…protect all of Manhattan and half the entire flood-prone area.”

Now let’s broaden the picture somewhat. In 1953 a major storm and flooding took many lives in Holland and Britain, prompting both countries to devise great storm surge barriers at great expense.

Half of the Netherlands is below sea level and its huge Eastern Scheldt barrier keeps the ocean at bay, while the one on the Thames in Britain has been raised almost 100 times since it was built.

Are such barriers therefore a viable solution to rising sea levels?

Hardly.

First of all because despite spending huge sums of money on studies such as this, governments (whether federal or local) seldom commit to such projects until after a killer storm has come and gone. So it’s extremely unlikely that any barriers will be built around New York any time soon.

Secondly – while barriers and dikes might buy you time, they are certainly by no means a viable long term solution. That’s because whether it occurs abruptly or gradually rising sea levels are not necessarily going to stop when they reach the three feet mark. Britain has already recognized this and is prepared to see much of its low-lying coastline disappear in the next few decades.

This means that the Thames Barrier is also likely to be overwhelmed by storm surges which bodes ill for the Port of London and the Thames estuary.

The same rise in sea levels will also inundate much of coastal Europe. (I’m no engineer, but it seems too that rising sea levels could result in a rising water table under the low-lying Netherlands to such an extent that it will be impossible for pumps to cope).

Thirdly – barriers that keep water out, once breached by a storm surge or rising sea levels are going to keep water in. This in turn would create a far bigger flood plain area.

Fourthly - none of the above takes into account the probability of a tsunami originating in the Atlantic and striking the east coast of the United States.

Something similar could well affect the coastlines of Britain and Europe. In which case no amount of money spent on barriers and pumps would do any good at all.

Meanwhile, back in New York, and the CSM article. “Klaus Jacob, author of several papers on New York's vulnerability to flooding...sees only one viable, long-term option: Retreat from low-lying areas.”

Now this might seem to be totally off topic here folks, but it happened as I was writing this and it does have to do with survival.

How is it that humming birds only come to my office window when their feeder is empty? Their feeder is round the other side of the house, but every time it runs out, one of them flies round the back to my window and hovers at eye level in front of me.

The biggest of these birds is no bigger than my thumb, weighs a lot less and has a brain about the size of a split pea.

Nevertheless, these little guys arrive here in March and fly away in the fall. They live outside all the time, have no power bills or rent to pay, and they get to travel the length of the Americas without going through any security checks or paying extra for a carry on bag.

They can hover in one place as they sip nectar from a flower, fly backwards, move themselves up and down on the spot, and navigate from here to there and back again better than Bilbo Baggins.

Life has given them wings and a mind that somehow exceeds what you’d expect from a split pea; they may know when to ask for their feeder to be topped up but they’ll also take flight and move on down south as soon as something tells them winter is on the way.

Does that answer the question?
