The Elenin Timeline !
Elenin, the so-called “Comet” that is heading for Earth at the moment is coming closer and closer ! Rumours go that it should be visible by the end of August 2011 and would look like a “second sun” from Earth ! I made a complete timeline of alignments between ELENIN and the Earth together with other planets, check it out and see for yourself : Everytime the “dwarf star” aligns with earth and one of the other planets, moon or sun in our solarsystem there is a large Earthquake ! In my timeline i only placed Earthquakes larger than 6,0 magnitude !

Remember the Prophecy of the “Rome Earthquake”? On may 11th 2011 a 5,5 Magnitude Earthquake happened in Spain, on this day there was an “almost” so not perfect alignment between Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and Earth. Also the March 11th Japan earthquake moved the axes of the planet, just like the large quake in Haiti did … where would the spain quake have taken place if this didn’t happen ? I got this from a reader of Alamongordo.com, great thinking dude !
ELENIN alignments vs EarthQuakes still to come !
2011 JUN 17
Perfect Alignment between Elenin, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter on the outside. Keep an eye on Mercury and Venus for special happenings.
2011 JUL 6
Perfect Alignment between Elenin, Mercury, Saturn and the Sun. We should keep an eye on Mercury, things could start moving there ! ( it happened – 7.6…)
2011 AUG 15
Alignment between Earth, Mercury and the Sun just after the Full Moon on August 13th 2011, there is no alignment with Elenin but still we should watch this date for a possible 6,0 or higher magnitude Earthquake !
2011 AUG 18
Closest approche Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova at 0,0766 AU ! This close approach will happen during the alignment between Earth, Mercury, Venus and the Sun so keep an eye on August 18th 2011 (8-8-11). Again ELENIN is not involved but by this time ELENIN’s gravity could effect the 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova comet and the Alignment between Earth, Venus, the Sun and Mercury could trigger a +6 Magnitude quake somewhere on the planet. Still i think the fun will start in September 2011…
2011 AUG 21
ELENIN enters the orbit of Venus ! At this moment Elenin is apprx 111.361.288 miles or 179.218.620 kilometers from Earth. On this date there is an Alignment between Elenin, Mercury and Jupiter again.
2011 AUG 28
Alignment between Elenin, The Sun and Mars. There could be Solarflares again.
2011 SEP 11
On 9/11 Elenin will make it’s closest approach to the SUN, the distance between Elenin and the Sun at this time is apprx 44.804.792 miles or 72.090.910 kilometers.
2011 SEP 12
The last Full Moon before Elenin will align with earth several times
2011 SEP 21-22
Perfect Alignment between Earth Elenin and Venus with for the First time ELENIN in between 2 planet when the alignment happens !
2011 SEP 26-27&28
The TRANSIT of ELENIN – Elenin will pass between the Earth and the Sun for 3 days, this could be the “Three days of Darkness” in the Bible !
2011 SEP 27
Perfect Alignment Elenin, Earth and Sun, ELENIN will be in between the Earth and the Sun !!! This is the same alignment as the one that triggered the Japan Earthquake on March 11 2011, only this time ELENIN is much closer to Earth than in March during the Japan Quake !!! So the First of Several massive earthquakes will happen around or on September 25th 2011. By this time, if ELENIN is the long-awaited NIBIRU or PLANET X we will have seen signs already, the changing magnetic field could kill millions of animals like fish and birds. Note that this is the FIRST TIME that ELENIN is in between the Earth and Sun when an alignment takes place !!! At this moment the distance between ELENIN and the EARTH is 38.297.872 miles or just 61.621.276 kilometers.
2011 SEP 26-27
Maybe an even worse but not “perfect” alignment between Elenin, Earth, Sun AND Mercury this time, the same as on March 11th 2011 and Sep 24th only Mercury is in the picture to, Elenin is at its closest point to earth yet. This alignment could trigger the largest Earthquake in the history of mankind !!! Remember the Bible talking about a large earthquake moving mountains and stuff … this could be it if “it” wasn’t 2 days ago. The distance between ELENIN and the EARTH : 35.416.236 miles or 56.984.723 kilometers.
2011 OCT 12 – OCT 19
The 3th Alignment : Elenin, Earth and Mars align with Elenin for the first time ever IN BETWEEN Earth and Mars + this allignment will happen during a Full Moon !!! On October 12th 2011 the comet/astroid 1036 GANYMED makes it’s closest approach to Earth !!! At this date there is also a second alignmend involving the Earth, Jupiter and Venus !
2011 OCT 17
Closest approach to Earth of ELENIN : 0,232 AU that’s 21.565.792 miles or 34.569.964 kilometers, if NASA isn’t telling us a lie about these distances … Also on OCT 17th there is an alignment between the Earth, Jupiter and Mercury !
2011 OCT 28
Alignment Earth, Mercury and Venus together with again a second alignment at the same time between Earth, Sun and Jupiter (alignment untill 1-11-11) !
2011 NOV 09
Closest approach of 2005 YU55 (0,0023 AU) : This Astroid will pass between Earth and the Moon (Distance Earth-Moon = 0.00257 AU). This Astroid could hit the moon, normally it will pass the moon at (0,00027 AU) ! This is a very important time period, the 2005 YU55 comet passes earth at just 2.137.988 miles or 3.427.194 kilometers, but even more important, this comet will “pass” our moon at just 25.098 miles or 40.232 kilometers, thats the distance of just one time around the earth ! If ELENIN has a powerfull field it could push 2005 YU55 out of it’s “normal route” and closer to the moon. If the moon is hit by this 400 meter diameter rock, disaster will also hit earth with tidalwaves and more !
REVELATION 9:11 – And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon !
2011 NOV 09
Astroid 1036 Ganymed in the Area
2011 NOV 09
Also in the Neighborhoud : 1996 FG3 Astroid !
2011 NOV 10
Full Moon !
2011 NOV 11
Perfect Alignment Elenin, Earth, Mercury and Venus. During this alignment the Earth will also pass the route of Elenin so when Elenin has a tail with Debris, all the rocks will hit Earth and it could be raining Fire as the Bible tells us !!! By the way, this stuff is all going to happen when the date is 11-11-11 isn’t that cool !!!
REVELATION 11:11 – And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. (3 1/2 Days – <9-10-11 November>)
Note : Comet Elenin passes in the same vicinity at exactly the same time, what are the odds ?
Do they get close enough in their projected paths to interact and cause a change in known trajectory? I know trajectory calcs are still being worked on for the comet (being it is still in the Asteroid Belt) ….but what are the odds of these two space bodies meeting up like this…
2011 NOV 23 – NOV 28
Perfect Alignment between Sun – Earth and ELENIN !
2011 NOV 25
Closest approach of Astroid 1996 FG3 to earth at 0,101 AU – that’s 9.338.556 miles or 15.049.855 kilometers !

Seeing is Believing – Nibiru in the Sky

Seeing is Believing

Take your laptop or computer and do the following please.

From a web browser type in the following URL.

Google Sky:
http://www.google.com/sky/

1.      Step One: After you go to “Google Sky” you will see “outer space” and the blackness of stars.

2.      Step Two: In the search bar at the upper left corner of the Google Sky screen, type “Mercury” and press Enter.  Again you will see only the blackness of outer space with a little devil like symbol for the planet “Mercury”.

3.      Step Three: Next, find the little button in the upper right of your screen that says “Infrared”.  Click that button.  The screen will turn to a hazy reddish color.

Nibiru

You can now see NIBIRU, in the upper left quadrant of your computer screen.  Please note that you did not have to press the + “Zoom In” slider buttons at all to see this monster.  This view is from the perspective of Planet Earth.  If you hover your cursor over the black ambassador of death, you will see the “coordinates” on the bottom of your screen.  They are:

9 hours / 47 minutes / 59.0 seconds / 13 degrees / 16 feet / 19.3 inches

If you want a feel for how close it is to earth, I recommend you search on Jupiter.  After doing so you will again see nothing but black space.  However, to see Jupiter you will have to click the + “Zoom In” ladder slider about 6 times.  Think about that.  In order for you to SEE Jupiter, you have to ZOOM IN about 6 times.

How many times did you have to zoom in to see Nibiru?  None.

 

Films on A Better World

3 Great FREE films! – Sunday 28-Aug-2011 at 2 PM in NYC

The M.O.R.E. project is proud to present a ‘fair use’ screening of THREE outstanding films this coming Sunday 28-Aug-2011. Two are shorts and one full length film. There is NO admission fee!

The three award winning films are “The Story Of Stuff” at 2 PM, then “The American Dream” around 3 PM, and third “GasHole”. They will be shown in the back room of a great bar in Greenwich Village called “Pour George” at 35 West 8th St, New York, NY 10011 / (212) 253-2999. Take the N/R to 8th Street, the 6 to Astor Place, or the A/C/E to West 4th St.

 

The Story Of Stuff - http://www.storyofstuff.com/ (short)

From the SOS website, “With over 12 million on-line views, The Story of Stuff is one of the most widely viewed environmental-themed short films of all time. Since its release in December 2007, The Story of Stuff has been shown in thousands of schools, houses of worship, community events and businesses around the world.”

Annie Leonard wrote and narrated the film. She has a knack for presenting large concepts in an easy to understand, entertaining, and amusing way. The film features her speaking in front of cleverly drawn animations.

 

 

The American Dreamhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPWH5TlbloU (short)

Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day?

“The American Dream” takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.

 

 

GasHolehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qbdTcvr8bQ (full length)

f

“GasHole” is about the history of oil prices and the future of alternative fuels. The film is a broad, yet detailed examination of our dependence on foreign supplies of oil. What are the causes that led to America turning from a leading exporter of oil to the world’s largest importer?

The film examines many different potential solutions to our oil dependence. It also presents compelling evidence that technology to improve energy efficiency has been suppressed. It shows that people have had their careers wrecked, or even been killed for opposing the vested interests in oil and energy distribution.

If you are coming to the event, please RSVP to me, John Hechtman at jhecht410@gmail.com. You don’t have to do this – as long as we have space to seat you, no one will be turned away. But Pour George is not a huge place – it would be very helpful to have a rough idea of how many people are coming.

This screening is brought to you by the M.O.R.E. project in collaboration with Drinking Liberally and Pour George. M.O.R.E. stands for (M)edia (O)ut (R)each (E)ffort. Our aim is to create public, no fee screenings of outstanding documentary films and videos. The media we’ll present is widely acclaimed, often award-winning, and always both enjoyable and educational. For more about M.O.R.E. please go to www.zenarrow.com and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Help Warren Buffett raise taxes on the super rich

Because of the recent Tea Party budget deal, Congress must cut over $2 trillionfrom the 10-year budget this fall.Instead of slashing essential programs like Social Security, health care, education, and environmental protection, Congress should listen to billionaire Warren Buffett and stop “coddling” the super-rich.Let’s tell Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to call a vote on Sen. Bernie Sanders’ bill (S. 552) to tax millionaires and billionaires, which would raise $500 billion over 10 years and avoid some devastating cuts.Thanks for all you do!

Tell Harry Reid: Warren Buffett wants you to raise his taxes

There’s no excuse for Congress not to vote on taxing millionaires and billionaires.

 

Take Action!

Click here to add your name to this petition:“Senate Majority Leader Reid: Billionaire Warren Buffett wrote, ‘My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It’s time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice.’ Call a vote now on Sen. Bernie Sanders’ bill (S. 552) to tax millionaires and billionaires, and make every senator go on the record about supporting or opposing Mr. Buffett’s request to raise his taxes.”

Take action now!

Dear Friend,

We hear a lot about “shared sacrifice” and belt-tightening out of Washington, but as billionaire investor Warren Buffett noted recently:

“Our leaders have asked for ‘shared sacrifice.’ But when they did the asking, they spared me…and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks.”1

As complicated as some want to make it, this issue is very simple. In a time of economic crisis, it’s both healthy for our democracy and fundamentally fair to ask the super rich to pay more.

Senator Bernie Sanders has a bill to do this and make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has yet to call a vote on it.

Tell Harry Reid: Warren Buffett wants you to raise his taxes. Click here to sign the petition.

One of the main drivers of our federal deficit are the Bush tax cuts, which have driven down tax rates for the wealthiest Americans to the lowest levels we’ve seen since the 1950s.

Tax rates for the richest Americans have fallen sharply despite the fact that taxing millionaires and billionaires is wildly popular, and the cost of not taxing them extremely high. The Sanders bill alone would bring in an additional $50 billion a year in revenue.

When someone like billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that he and his friends “have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress,”2 people pay close attention. And with Washington focused on what to cut and by how much, Mr. Buffett asking for Congress to raise his taxes represents an important opportunity.

This is a rare moment to inject common sense into the debate over budgets and get senators on the record about being for or against record low tax rates enjoyed by billionaires like Mr. Buffett.

Tell Harry Reid: Warren Buffett wants you to raise his taxes. Click here to sign the petition.

With the creation of a new twelve member Super Committee empowered to fast-track through Congress budget-slashing legislation that cannot be amended, it’s more important than ever that we pressure our representatives to deal with the crisis caused by their inability to end the Bush tax cuts and bring back rational taxation rates for the richest Americans.

And before the congressional Super Committee issues a draft of its budget plan, we need all senators to go on the record about whether they support or oppose the simple notion that the super rich need to pay their fair share. This will create much needed momentum to help Democrats on the Super Committee hold the line on our demands for revenue increases.

Tell Harry Reid: Warren Buffett wants you to raise his taxes. Click here to sign the petition asking Harry Reid to call a Senate vote on Sen. Sanders’ bill to tax millionaires and billionaires.

Republican hostage-taking and other deeply undemocratic tactics by members of both parties have left us with a budget process that is broken, and as a result most senators avoid taking a stand on important issues like whether we should raise taxes on the very richest among us.

But in the face of massive budget shortfalls, and with a billionaire like Warren Buffett literally asking for it, there’s no excuse for Congress not to vote on taxing millionaires and billionaires.

Tell Harry Reid: Warren Buffett wants you to raise his taxes. Click here to sign the petition.

A Tour by Satellite of Foreclosed Homes in America

Most of these homes that were lost were owned by people who didn’t fight it.  Some fought it and lost, but there is a long list of success stories of people who fought it and won.  Still, sadly, they are a small fraction of the numbers who simply acquiesced to it, as these pictures show.

A tour by satellite of Foreclosed Homes in America

What’s wrong with these pictures?

Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac are partly owned by the govt. or at least were initially.  They will own most of American soil soon.

While this is terrible in itself, Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac own all or most of the loans on these properties.

These satellite photos brings home the seriousness of this nation-wide crisis.

Warning About Microwaving Water!

CONFIRMED BY:  http://www.snopes.com/science/microwave.asp

 

 

WARNING !!!

 

              Microwaving Water —– (and I bet you have done it, too)

 

Microwaving  Water

A 26-year old man decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he wanted to bring the water to a boil.. When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the! Water was not boiling, but suddenly the water in the cup ‘blew up’ into his face. The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand, but all the water had flown out into his face due to the buildup of energy.  His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face which may leave scarring.

He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye. While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is a fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc…, (nothing metal).

General  Electric’s Response:

Thanks for contacting us, I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail that you received is correct. Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds! Before moving it or adding anything into it.

Here is what our local science teacher had to say on the matter: ‘Thanks for the microwave warning. I have seen this happen before. It is caused by a phenomenon known as super heating. It can occur anytime water is heated and will particularly occur if the vessel that the water is heated in is new, or when heating a small amount of water (less than half a cup).

What happens is that the water heats faster than the vapor bubbles can form. If the cup is very new then it is unlikely to have small surface scratches inside it that provide a place for the bubbles to form. As the bubbles cannot form and release some of the heat has built up, the liquid does not boil, and the liquid continues to heat up well past its boiling point.

What then usually happens is that the liquid is bumped or jarred, which is just enough of a shock to cause the bubbles to rapidly form and expel the hot liquid. The rapid formation of bubbles is also why a carbonated beverage spews when opened after having been shaken.’

If you pass this on you could very well save someone from a lot of pain and  suffering

Tell your representative not to weaken the Clean Water Act

Take Action


Take Action Now

Just decades ago, America’s rivers were so polluted that they actually caught fire. The Clean Water Act changed that by making clean water a federal responsibility, empowering the Environmental Protection Agency to set national standards for protecting water from pollution. Now industry-backed members of Congress are attacking these fundamental protections with a new bill that would undermine national clean water standards and could loosen regulations on mountaintop removal mines, sewage treatment plants and other polluters.

This dirty water bill would drastically weaken federal oversight over water pollution limits, depriving Americans of minimum health and environmental standards that apply no matter where you live or travel in the nation. States alone cannot effectively prevent polluters from dumping much more pollution in their waters than is currently allowed under EPA standards, potentially polluting the waters of neighboring states and undermining the overall effectiveness of clean water protections.

While states appropriately have a primary role in implementing clean water protections, the law does not function effectively without a level playing field that ensures people have a minimum level of clean water and safe drinking water regardless of what state they live in.
