The Tension Is As Palpable As The Humidity..

This is some serious/intense bullshit.  Branson remains, so far, "unscathed," but these tornadic systems are CHARGED with electricity, the likes of which I've never experienced.  And they are relentless.  Denning, Arkansas was hit by mile-wide tornado earlier this evening.  It's probably gone. 

I can't imagine having to deal with damage caused by these storms.  It's like a gigantic circular saw blade boring into the earth.  The destruction is so..  Thorough..  So complete.  I can't imagine what these people are feeling right now.

If you live in the four state region, the implications of this particular recurring, savage system have now become very, very real..  There is no real safe place, and suddenly, life holds no guarantees.  Also, the horror of another Joplin-style catastrophe becomes more mockingly random, as total destruction can now come clothed as a rain wrapped tornado within a storm system that's really not all that impressive.  Not that that couldn't have happened before, but it never did.  Now it has.

This is not normal weather, and these are not normal times.  Everything is changing, or is about to change.. 

This is but one manifestation of that change..

Christchurch Earthquake: Update, And Eerie Precursors..

From Raw Story via Agence France-Presse.  Excerpts: 

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – New Zealand declared a national state of emergency Wednesday after one of its worst earthquake disasters left nearly 400 people dead or missing.


Rescuers worked frantically to reach survivors under collapsed buildings in the stricken city centre of Christchurch, after recovering 75 bodies. About 300 people are still missing after Tuesday's 6.3-magnitude quake.
..
New Zealand's second city was a scene of "incredible carnage", police said.
..
"There is incredible carnage right throughout the city," he told Radio New Zealand. "There are bodies littering the streets, they are trapped in cars and crushed under rubble."
..
Prime Minister Key, who has described the disaster as possibly "New Zealand's darkest day", said dozens of aftershocks continued to rock the city, hampering rescue efforts.


"There is no reason that can make sense of this event. No words that can spare our pain," he said. "We are witnessing the havoc caused by a violent and ruthless act of nature."
And:
The quake is the deadliest to hit New Zealand since a 7.8-magnitude tremor killed 256 people in the Hawke's Bay region in 1931.
..
30m tons of ice set loose from glacier by NZ quake 

WELLINGTON: The 6.3-magnitude earthquake that struck New Zealand on Tuesday, killing at least 75 people in Christchurch, also shook loose 30 million tons of ice from the nation’s longest glacier, sending boulders of ice into a nearby lake.

Update coupled with gallery of devastation in the aftermath of the quake.  From the Daily Mail.
Now for some events directly ahead of this quake, noted before the event.

A minute by minute description of the quake's first day.

Now the eerie precursors..

This guy got it almost exactly right.  Yeah, he said an 8 magnitude quake, but this 6.3 mimicked an 8, didn't it?  He ties solar flares to an increase in earthquake activity, with the location of the solar flare on the sun's surface effecting areas here on earth that correlate to said location.  His information regarding New Zealand starts at 4:40..

This was an odd, not too realistic bit of news when it broke several days ago.  What to make of it?

107 Pilot whales offed themselves on a New Zealand beach.

SILENCE - do you hear that? At dawn hardly a bird can be heard.  Here's a conspiracy thread from New Zealand started February 17th.

And finally, 9 Members Of US Congress Left Christchurch New Zealand Hours Before Earthquake.  Man!  That was lucky, right?

Animal Death Events Continue To Grow..

Whatever "this" turns out to be, it has certainly caught the attention and imagination of my normally inattentive friends, the ones who smirk when I talk of conspiracies or anomalous events..

A poster at my favorite conspiracy site provides this list of the latest die-offs, along with a map of event locations. (This also might be the "WTF Moment" predicted by the webbots, but that's another post at a later date..) And though I wouldn't definitively rule out any cause at the moment, it's starting to look less like a WMD release(The deaths are too widespread for Sorcha's theory, and why just birds and fish?), fireworks(no..), or cloaked UFOs(no, and why now?).

Possible explanations that seem plausible include: BP's Corexit saturation finally starting to manifest world wide(Long shot, but if you fuck with nature, side effects will occur..), Methane "burps,"(possible, but that's a lot of methane burping world wide..), HAARP(What's HAARP? Too short of an answer-man made magnetic disturbance-this one's still a Big maybe..), or Non-man made magnetic disturbance(with all the information available, this seems to be the most sensible). If this is some kind of magnetic disturbance, is it coming from space, or from the earth itself?

George Ure at Urban Survival has put together a fairly compelling argument involving the animal die offs as a precursor to some really major earthquake activity. The article's called Coping: Terra's Biggest Bite To Come? (Mr. Ure doesn't post single items, so scroll down to find it. It's in the January 5th column..) Not so encouraging excerpts:

What ties together all those parts of Arkansas, has been associated with bird kills, and might also be somehow related to Baton Rouge down river? You aren't going to like the answer, but here goes:
New Madrid.
Not only have we had some earthquakes in the central Arkansas area in the past couple of months - and there was a 4.2 in that area back in February of 2005 if memory serves me right. We has a little tiny 1.9 quake, just west of the Arkansas bird kill, too:
..
Let me pop up a map I developed last week for Peoplenomics subscribers and then put forth a wild hypothesis: I drew a great circle line around the globe which very roughly links all the big quakes from the China quake, down through the south Pacific, across the Pacific and Nazca plates to Chile, and let's not forget Argentina last week. (You really should check out the map; the visual helps.)

Now imagine for a moment that nature tends toward symmetry. We notice this line happens to come down through the Middle East very near those anomalous quakes in the Gulf of Aden, and then it comes down where that big Rift is developing in Africa which scientists figure may turn into a new inland sea in the future. And possibly something much bigger - think ocean.

Suppose that with all this activity in the southern hemisphere that some outburst of quakes might come to the northern hemisphere as a result.

If such wild guessing - and it is only that for now - held, then activity might be expected 90-degrees offset from the line - and since nature would likely quake along existing faults instead of creating new ones, maybe the the range would be somewhere in the area of +75 to +105 degrees. Uncertainty due to the bulge of the earth and so forth.
And:
So will my "shadow quake line" generally north of the equator appear?

Mr. Ure theorizes that maybe, just maybe, the entire planet might be in for (or effected by) some sort of global quake event(s), larger than anything we've ever experienced. While this is a horrifying proposition, it does seem to tie most of variables into a working theory. A scary, potentially life, history, and future altering theory.

And then, if this theory is correct, the larger question remains: What would cause a global quake event: Jesus, 2012, or Planet X?

Happy Anniversary, Norway Spiral!

Has it really been a year since you appeared? You captured our imagination, inspiring believers and debunkers alike, and generally making a worldwide phenomenon of yourself. So it's hardly surprising that one year later, you're back, making a cameo appearance in this year's Most Sensational Event: Wiki Leaks. And no one's more suited to write about you(again!!) than the Order of Sorcha Faal, a bunch of Russian nuns, or David Booth(I don't know) on their/his site What Does It Mean. Awesome; truly.

Norway Spiral, you are the inter dimensional event/failed missile test our dreams. Thanks for the laughter and the tears, but mostly.. for the weirdness.
