The 1982 Alignments

"Great glowing galaxies of light hang as if motionless in a timeless continuum... In one of those galactic spiral-vortices of light, a small and almost insignificant dwarf-star of spectral class G1 spins quite rapidly in its seemingly slower orbit around the centre of what is known as the Milky Way Galaxy - comprised of some 100,000,000,000 other orbital star-systems of varying sizes and colours. That small star is, itself, orbited by nine small planetary bodies which are constantly bathed in a storm of 'solar particles' emitted by that star - referred to by the inhabitants of its third planet as, 'The Sun'. Almost 4,700,000 tons of matter are radiated by the Sun each second in the form of charged particles and electromagnetic radiation."

"The inhabitants of the third planet call their abode, 'Earth'. At the present time, their scientists are in a great state of confusion over the strange and, obviously, unpredicted behaviour of the Sun. Their 'long-accepted' mathematical models of the Sun had forecast a relatively long life for it before it was to enter the 'Red Giant' stage... supposedly, some 1,000,000,000 earth-years hence. Recent abnormalities in the Sun's spin-rate, surface oscillation rates, and sunspot activities have worried them a great deal. Perhaps they will understand in time... perhaps..."

THE WEATHER FORECASTS

According to an article written by Gary Hughes (in February of 1978) which was reprinted in the Australian Sunday Times newspaper, the world is facing a 'mini ice age'. His article entitled, "Mini Ice Age on the Way" stated:

"The freezing weather which brought south-west England to a crunching halt this week and buried the countryside under mountainous snow drifts is here to stay... For experts say it is part of the same weather pattern that paralysed Scotland and New York in January and caused freak heat waves in Australia and other southern hemisphere countries."

Elsewhere in his article, Hughes quoted the well-known astro-physicist, Dr. John Gribbin, from the science policy research unit at Sussex University. According to Dr. Gribbin the cause of the cooling in the northern hemisphere is the Sun, itself. The increased number of sunspots (magnetic holes in the Sun's burning chromosphere) has apparently brought about the beginning of a new ice age on Earth,... according to Dr. Gribbin. It was also Dr. Gribbin who pointed out that individual sunspot occurrences are not as vital in the weather changes as are the cumulative effects of a constant increase in sunspot activity. In a public release issued in January of the same year, an American geologist, Madeleine Briskin, expressed the same gloomy prediction: "An ice age is coming!"

On the 26th of July in 1977, The West Australian newspaper printed: "Climate in Danger - Experts". It began:

"Washington, Mon: A panel of American scientists and engineers has warned that continued use of oil, gas, and coal will cause a carbon dioxide build-up that could change the climate and perhaps cause oceans to flood coastal cities."

..."Roger Revelle of the University of California at San Diego, told a news briefing that the potential climatic changes might mean increased snows in polar regions and destruction of the west Antarctic ice pack,... (recall last chapter's discussion?).. resulting in arise in the sea level of five metres in 300 years."

"...if present trends continue, global temperatures will probably increase 6C by the 22nd century... Such an increase would far exceed the temperatures of the past several thousand years..."

On the 10th of May in 1976, The West Australian also printed: "Big Climate Changes Pose Threat." It began:

"Washington, Sun: Major world climate changes are under way which will cause economic and political upheavals 'almost beyond comprehension', according to an internal report of the Central Intelligence Agency (the C.I.A.)."

" 'The new climatic era brings a threat of famine and starvation to many areas of the world,' the (C.I.A.) report says...' (furthermore)... The change of climate is cooling some significant agricultural areas and causing drought in others. If, for example, there is a northern hemisphere drop of one degree celsius it would mean that India will have a major drought every four years and can only support three-quarters of its present population... The world reserve would have to supply 30 to 50 million tonnes of grain each year to prevent the death of 150,000,000 Indians", the report said. (The reader is asked to remember the figure of 150,000,000 Indian deaths by famine in the next section of this book which discusses another side of this situation).

The news article continued,... "The report, which was concerned with possible political and economic threats that the United States could expect from such drastic events, said that starvation and famine would lead to social unrest and global migrations of populations."

On the 21st of January, 1977, the magazine, Pacific Computer Weekly published an interesting article:

"A unique and complex modelling project which was used to analyse the effects on Earth's atmosphere after the Sun was removed, has created high interest worldwide. The project was undertaken by Barrie Hunt, principal research scientist with the Australian Numerical and Meteorology Research Centre..."

His study which utilized the "C.S.I.R.O.'s Cyber 76 in Canberra and the department of meteorology's dual 360/65s in Melbourne", obtained the "surprising conclusion that activity on the Earth would remain for longer than the text-book conclusions of about 10 days..." if the Sun were to suddenly 'go-out'. His model showed the Earth in some life-like state even after 50 days of total darkness. His next project was to be one to analyse the "effects of speeding and slowing the rotation of the Earth by a factor of five..." One must ask the obvious,... "Why has there been such high-level interest in his project - unless there was already some doubt in somebody's mind as to the duration of the Sun's steady-state energy levels?"...

The West Australian Daily News of September 14, 1976 published an article entitled, "What On Earth Is Happening?"..., a report written by Angus McPherson in London. It started:

"Planet Earth, it seems, is on the rampage. The earthquake barrage in the Far East probably has done more damage and killed more people in China than a nuclear attack. On the other side of the Pacific with one major volcano erupting and another ready to go, it seems as 'if the whole Caribbean is about to blow-up'..."

"Day after remorseless day of sunshine has burnt England as brown as the Arizona desert - and this is only a part of a world-wide weather aberration that has brought drought, shrivelled crops and hungry livestock to Western Europe, the American Mid-West, India, and Australia."

"...This year of drought and disaster, 1976, has come when the spots on the Sun are at a minimum... 'I for one, find it very hard to see that as a coincidence,' says Or. John Gribbin, one of Britain's most avant-garde astrophysicists."

" 'Records I have studied do seem to show that bursts of earthquake activity on Earth come when the sunspots - which fluctuate roughly every 11 years - are either at their maximum or their minimum.' "

..."In just the past two years, after an exhaustive study, scientists at America's leading atmospheric research centre at Boulder, Colorado, confirmed that they (sunspots) did alter the weather."

"...But what astronomer Carl Sagan has called the 'Cosmic Connection' is well established - and the effects of the Sun's next rash of spots, due in about 1980, will he watched with fervor."

EARTHQUAKES HAVE INCREASED

In 1975, Hawaii suffered two earthquakes and a new eruption of the volcano, Kilauea. One of the quakes which was 7.2 on the Richter scale was the biggest earthquake to hit Hawaii in over 75 years.

In January of 1976, Iceland was struck by a quake measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale. Also in January, more than 20 earthquakes were reported in the Pacific region near the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula. The event was the worst in 25 years.

In October of 1976, earthquakes and tremors hit Scotland and Guatemala. The death toll in Guatemala was over 22,000 while the injured numbered over 74,000. It left 1,300,000 people without homes.

In May, the west coast of New Zealand's South Island suffered a quake at 7 on the scale; while one of only 6.5 clobbered North-eastern Italy. Uzbek in the USSR suffered one at 7.2; and the Chinese-Burma border suffered one at 6.9.

In June, Papua New Guinea received one at 7.2; while Irian Jaya was hit at 7.1 on the scale. Bali received one at 7.

In July, China received hers, which was, as previously mentioned, an absolute horror at 8.2 on the Richter scale!

By December of 1976, California residents were preparing for another big earthquake to hit them in April of 1977. What they finally received was a 40,000 square kilometre "bulge".

It is almost certain that California will have the worst earthquake in its history before the turn of the century... It is just as amazing to find that Californians are still living right on top of the fault line like there was no tomorrow. They even have a land development scheme nicknamed, "The Faultline Estates"!

America has officially begun to prepare itself for earthquake disasters in the nine most probable regions. Of the nine regions, California is the only one which has spent any large amounts preparing the buildings and other edifices for the eventuality of a horrendous earthquake. It is a matter of public record that Carter's Office of Science and Technology has drawn-up plans for the widespread reinforcement of American skyscrapers in the most prone areas. Incredible effort has been thrown into early earthquake detection and prevention studies.

Between the years 1897 and 1946, the average number of observed earthquakes over Richter 6 was 3 per decade. Between 1946 and 1956, the average jumped to 7. to the following decade, it jumped to 17 earthquakes over Richter 6. Then, in 1967, the yearly earthquake figure for Richter 6 or better was 17! In 1968, it was 19; in 1969, it was 21; in 1970, it was 24; and in 1971, it was 34... However, during the decade of 1967 to 1976 there were 180 earthquakes over Richter 7 on the scale! Note that in the recorded history of man, an estimated 74,000,000 people have been killed either by earthquakes or indirectly by their attendant fires, floods, landslides, and disease.

PLANETS AND SUNSPOTS

Sunspots are actually holes ripped into the surface of the Sun by magnetic storms deep inside the Sun's multi-shelled core. Various factors can influence the propagation of these 'mysterious' blemishes. When a star is young, its outer shell of hydrogen is usually quite thick. As a result, it very seldom has such deep vortices of magnetic turbulence that visible black spots are made to appear. There are, however, times even in the young and stable state that a star's surface may be so disturbed as to show visible signs of magnetic turbulence.

If a large enough external body interacts or collides with the outer planetary or 'gravitic' shells of a young star, it can create relatively brief - but visible - 'sunspots'. As a star grows older, it burns up its hydrogen fuel-layer in the process of nuclear fusion. This means the hydrogen layer grows thinner and thinner as the star ages. As a result, it takes less and less in external forces to create visible signs of the magnetic turbulence.

In the case of those stars which have planets occupying two or more of their 'gravitic' shells (or possible orbits), the periodic motion of the planets themselves can effect 'sunspot' (or 'starspot') activity after about half of the original hydrogen shell has been consumed. The Sun is one of those stars whose hydrogen supply is over half of its original amount and whose orbital shells contain planets. As the nine charted planets of the Sun all orbit the Sun at different speeds, it is only infrequently - by Earth time - that all nine of the planets are somewhere on the same side of the Sun at the same time. It is even more infrequent that all nine form a straight line from the centre of the Sun to the outermost of the nine planets... (it is, in fact hundreds of thousands of years between such events). Yet, as partial alignments do occur, certain imbalances in the spin of the entire solar system manifest.

Consider a man standing on a small platform which, in turn, rests on the floor - mounted in such a way that it spins around quite readily when someone spins it. Let the man be given two equally heavy balls with rigid cables attached, so that the man can swing the balls out at his side. Let the man be spun quite rapidly. The balls will 'orbit' away from the man's spinning body. His body will be erect and stable, as the balls will both be travelling at the same speed and at the same distance from his body. If the man then pulls in one of the balls so that it is closer to his body than the other, the resulting imbalance of forces will cause the man's erect posture to sway to the side of the ball with the longest tether...; and, subsequently, to vibrate in a awkward fashion until he stops spinning.

If one were to replace the man and the platform with a pole that was anchored to the floor, one could create a very good analogy to the processes which cause planets to periodically 'shake-up' their star (or the Sun, in this case). One could affix nine rigid bars each of a different length to the upright pole so that they could be easily spun around the pole by the observer. To the ends of these nine bars, nine balls of varying weights could be attached. If the observer were to, then, spin all nine balls around tile pole by thrusting each in turn with his hand, he would see a peculiar sight. As the balls orbited the pole it would gyrate violently for a time; then it would 'settle down' and sway briefly in an arc; then it would 'straighten-up' and momentarily appear as erect and as stable as the man did when his balls were 'balanced'; and then it would gyrate madly, again.

Such is the case with the Sun. The nine planets are connected by invisible 'rods' of gravity to both the centre and the surface of the Sun. As the planets line-up in varyine numbers, attitudes, and times, the Sun is shaken to various degrees - the more so, the older it becomes.

In March, 1951 issue of RCA Review, John H. Nelson commented on planetary orbital patterns and sunspots and the correlation of both to the heavy radio frequency storms that even now plague Earth communications systems with a growing regularity:

"It can be readily seen from these graphs that disturbed conditions (excessive radio interference) show good correlation with planetary configuration... It is definitely shown that each of the six planets studied is effective in some configurations."

Nelson went on to say that short-wave frequencies are disturbed when Jupiter, Saturn and Mars line-up in either a straight line or at right angles to each other. He also emphasized that the phenomenon... "is not due to gravitational effect or tidal pulls between planets and the Sun". His last statement is, technically, correct; however, "gravitational effect" does not mean the same as 'gravitic tensors'. Remember, 'gravity' is that illusion produced by the interaction of two forces hitting each other and forming a zone or shell of equilibrium. The actual connectors of either force to its respective source are 'tensors' like muscles between parts of the body. As it is the balance between these 'connectors' which generates the illusion of gravity, great and powerful changes in the magnitude of both 'tensors' can result in only small change, to the apparent 'gravitational effect'.

Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky felt that these 'tensors' could be better explained as functions of electric charges; thus giving the solar system the appearance of a balanced 'atom' on a large scale. His words are slightly different - but they imply the same as this author's. For those who were unaware of it, Dr Velikovsky was a regular correspondent with and visitor to the late Dr. Albert Einstein - who eventually died with one of Dr. Velikovsky's early manuscripts open on his desk. It was also Dr. Velikovsky who quoted a most enlightening statement from an article in the April 15, 1951 edition of the New York Times in his own book, Earth In Upheaval. The article reported that:

"...evidence of a strange and unexplained correlation between the positions of Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, in their orbits around the Sun and the presence of violent electrical disturbances in the Earth's upper atmosphere.... seems to indicate (that) the planets and the Sun share in a cosmic electrical-balance mechanism that extends a billion miles from the centre of our solar system. Such an electrical balance is not accounted for in current astrophysical theories."

In the same book, (p.259) Dr. Velikovsky went on to say, "By 1953 the strange fact was established that the solar tides in the Earth's upper atmosphere are sixteen times more powerful than the lunar tides in the atmosphere, a fact in complete conflict with the tidal theory, according to which the action of the Moon on oceanic tides is several times more powerful than that of the Sun. The fifty fold discrepancy is still without an acceptable explanation."

An undeniable set of circumstances now presents itself to the people of Earth: The Sun is entering into a transitional stage - which is allowing the increasingly eccentric alignment of its nine planets to effect abnormal magnetic and electromagnetic 'Storms' on its surface. These 'storms' - evidenced by the extremely high number of sunspots - are sending increasingly more violent 'sprays' of charged 'particles' and short wavelength radiations outward to collide with all the planets in a form called the 'solar wind' by the N.A.S.A. technicians. This 'solar wind' of great energy density can increase or decrease the spin rate of the Earth in its orbit; hence, it can change the length of an Earth 'day'. This 'solar wind' has already been responsible for creating ionospheric 'tornadoes' which have caused the Skylab space station to prematurely drop from its correct orbit to one which will eventually result in its crashing down to Earth. The increased solar wind is blamed on "abnormally high sunspot activity accompanying the 1980 arrival of the peak of the current, 11 year sunspot cycle."

The biggest solar flare since 1968 occurred in May of 1978. Its size was over fifty times the surface area of the Earth! The resulting radio frequency and high-speed particle bombardments of Earth caused widespread short-wave, radio communications disruptions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder, Colorado reported that the U.S. Coastguard had lost all radio communication with its ships in the Atlantic while the initial flare effects continued.

Only two and a half months later, a huge sunspot formed on the Sun. The previous flare had receded leaving a 'thin' area on the Sun's surface. Then, the relatively high 'planetary alignment effect' in the July-Sept. period of 1978 triggered such an intense magnetic storm on the Sun that a sunspot of over 3,900,000,000 square kilometers formed... becoming the biggest since 1947... by five times the size of the one in 1947!

This sunspot is steadily growing in size; and could double its present size in only a few short months. Already, it has reduced the visible light and heat effects on the Sun by two percent on the visible disk! Over 20,000,000 highly-charged particles are bombarding Earth each second as a result of this hugh sunspot. It is surely the major factor in causing the recent Indian floods and the last, absolutely disasterous summer in Europe.

A news report by Bruce Sandham in the Brisbane Sunday Mail Color of 5 November 1978 had these things to say about the sunspot:

" 'These enormous emissions from the Sun can have a profound effect on the way humans react', says Dr. Michel Gauquelin, Director of cosmic research at France's Strasbury University."

" 'This sunspot activity is causing massive ionization which can have dramatic influence on our behaviour,' he explains. 'Some areas of the human body contain a positive charge of electricity and others a negative one. So the arrival of electromagnetic waves from the Sun can seriously upset the delicate balance between the two.' "

Dr. Gauquelin continued on the subject of possible sunspot effects on world diseases,... "The invasion of a human cell by a virus is virtually an electrical reaction. Normally the virus and the living cell carry a charge of negative ions, thus the virus is repelled and can't enter the cell. When something happens to the body and the cell's charge becomes positive, then the virus is free to enter. This 'something' could be the disturbance caused by solar activity."

The article also noted the high correlation of suicides, industrial mishaps, divorce, and insanity during heavy sunspot peaks like this one. Dr. Gauquelin also told Mr. Sandham (the journalist) that these effects could last for up to four more years; however, this was a gross understatement, as the reader will soon discover.

DISASTER IN 1982?

The reader in invited to study the computer generated graph in Chart No. 1. The graph is a correlation of relative-planetary-positions against time. If all nine planets were to be aligned in a straight line from the Sun outward, the graph would show a dot on the line labelled '9'. If the planets were to be unaligned as much as possible, the graph would show a dot on the value '4.55'. The dotted reference lines help the reader to quickly assess what months and years have had and will have very high relative-planetary-position quotients. If... (please note the conditional tense)... if this method of approximating the timing of sunspot activity is valid, then the next seven years may hold eighteen periods of solar activity that will be far more disasterous for mankind than any of those in the past 3,563 years!

This graph is only one of some six hundred and thirty produced by the author on a HewlettPackard computer. The computer, an 'HP System 45' 'crunched' through 2,000,000,000 calculations and drew these graphs in a little under two and a half days. The calculations were simply those of running a mathematical model of the solar system in reverse motion for six thousand years, and then in forward motion for one thousand years. These figures are only monthly position checks; so slight variations in some of the figures will occur on a daily position check.

The reader will note that the highest peak shown on the graph occurs in February, 1982. If Dr. Gribbin's hypothesis is correct, then the cumulative effects of sunspot activity triggered by certain planetary positions may not return to an acceptable level until after 1986!...

The 'dropped lines' were generated by the computer whenever the relative-planetary-position quotient exceeded a statistically critical value of '6'.

The reader will note that both the solar flare of May and the giant sunspot of July-Sept. occurred or were initiated on the only two near-critical peaks in 1978. The author has also made a preliminary study of ancient history in correlation to the last 6000 years of planetary motions as shown by the other six hundred charts. In forty-nine out of the fifty major revolutions and wars of the last 3500 years, the graphs' high peaks matched the event to the year. The graphs' peaks also agreed to the year with the corrected Biblical dates for the Flood of Noah and the Exodus of Israel from Egypt amidst great geological distress and plagues of vermin. It is this author's intention to publish a sequel to this book which will contain all the charts mentioned and his correlations to that date; so that the reader may analyze the results for himself. For the computer users in the readership a copy of the author's program listings written in the System 9845's basic language will be in that book; so that cross-checks and 'fine-tuning' may be effected by those who wish to pursue the subject... if there is any time left...

PROJECT "NOAH'S ARK"

Early in 1977, the President of the United States, Mr. Carter, announced a few details of a topsecret Pentagon project code-named: "Noah's Ark". It is, supposedly, a system of some 96 'bunkers' and 'bolt holes' which have been established at various places on or near the Earth to house approximately 6500 key officials in case of a nuclear war.

Many of these 'bolt holes' are underground cities complete with streets, sidewalks, lakes, small electric cars, apartments and office buildings. One such 'city' is carved out of a mountain near Washington. It is called Mount Weather. One other such 'city' is most probably located at each of the super VLF broadcast stations around the planet.

One wonders why the project was code-named "Noah's Ark"... Any Biblical student knows that 'Noah's Ark' has to do with a weather calamity - not a nuclear war. Carter would have been better advised calling it something like "Project Gomorrah", "Project Brimstone", or their ilk;... yet he chose a weather calamity. Could it be that he - like many other senior statesmen and key scientists - knows the Earth is heading for a severe weather catastrophe? If so, one can understand why the masses have not been informed... can't one?... It appears that a new solution is needed... one which requires a Copernican revolution in human philosophy.. Pray that it comes soon...
