Iceland’s volcano, NO END IN SIGHT!

The Northern Lights over Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcanic eruption.   Photo by Kristinn R Kristinsson.  So much beauty in the devastation.

Ashes, Ashes, They all fall down

Anticipation of the volcanic activity slowing down is wishful thinking as planes remain grounded over much of Europe because of a supposed invisible ash plume.

The earth in Iceland is hardly settled with no less than 57 earthquakes occurring in the last 48 hours. From http://en.vedur.is/earthquakes-and-volcanism/earthquakes/#view=table

Earthquake count:

  • Magnitude less than 1:  16
  • Magnitude 1 to 2:  36
  • Magnitude 2 to 3:  4
  • Magnitude more than 3:  1
  • Total: 57

For whatever reason the USGS (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php)  is is showing no seismic activity from Iceland.  Iceland’s Meteorological Office shows numerous quakes including today’s, April 17, 2010 seismicity-

An ash cloud above the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull. April 16, 2010.

Staff from the Icelandic Meteorological Office flew with the Icelandic Coast Guard to the Eyjafjallajökull eruption site on the afternoon of April 16th 2010.  At 4 pm the volcanic ash cloud was clearly visible above the cloud deck, rising at times to at least 30,000 feet. Steady winds from the east-north-east moved the cloud away from the volcano.  The cloud height was variable from 25 to 30,000 feet and its colour varied from dark to white, depending on how much ash was in the cloud.

From the live feed of photos from a camera located in Þórólfsfell, which has a view over the river Markarfljót and the glacier Eyjafjallajökull where the eruption is, you can see large plumes continuing to erupt.

“The activity has been quite vigorous overnight, causing the eruption column to grow,” Icelandic geologist Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson told The Associated Press on Saturday. “It’s the magma mixing with the water that creates the explosivity. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.” via http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eu_iceland_volcano

Thousands of commercial flight have been grounded just like on 911, all air-traffic in Northern Europe is down.  The military while diverting injured soldiers away from Germany, are still playing war games.  A large fleet of warships, submarines, frigates and aircraft from 10 NATO countries are taking  part in the ‘Brilliant Mariner’ maritime exercise in the Baltic Sea.  https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/04/15/911-false-flag-volcanic-ash-grounds-flights-military-drills-continue/

What about global warming?   Remember, all the volcanoes in the world release 130 times less CO2 than the human race does each year, so even big eruptions add relatively little to the atmosphere. via  http://scienceblogs.com/eruptions/2010/04/eyjafjallajokull_eruption_cont.php

Temperatures in Europe could rise as a result of planes being grounded across the continent, according to research. A study conducted after commercial flights were grounded for three days following the September 11 terror attacks found the average daily temperature range in the U.S. rose markedly – exceeding the three-day periods before and after by 1.8c.  Scientists claimed this showed that clouds formed by the water vapour in the exhaust from jet planes have a small but significant effect on daily temperatures.

What about global cooling?  With an invisible ash cloud, one would suppose that solar radiation would permeate the atmosphere in it’s usual manner.

Somewhat undecided via http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100035032/official-icelandic-volcano-with-unpronounceable-name-was-caused-by-man-made-global-warming/

Scientific American – via Reuters –OSLO (Reuters) – A thaw of Iceland’s ice caps in coming decades caused by climate change may trigger more volcanic eruptions by removing a vast weight and freeing magma from deep below ground, scientists said on Friday.

Er well, sort of. In the next paragraph they’re forced to concede that the eruption below the Eyjafjallajokull glacier had nothing to do with global warming.

They said there was no sign that the current eruption from below the Eyjafjallajokull glacier that has paralysed flights over northern Europe was linked to global warming. The glacier is too small and light to affect local geology.

But they’re not about to let a good story go that easily:

“Our work suggests that eventually there will be either somewhat larger eruptions or more frequent eruptions in Iceland in coming decades,” said Freysteinn Sigmundsson, a vulcanologist at the University of Iceland.

“Global warming melts ice and this can influence magmatic systems,” he told Reuters. The end of the Ice Age 10,000 years ago coincided with a surge in volcanic activity in Iceland, apparently because huge ice caps thinned and the land rose.

 I can’t get that Jimmy Buffet Song out of my head….

I don’t know where I’m a-gonna go when the volcano blow…”

The Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in Iceland has not only spewed ash clouds and lava, but conspiracy. 

Floating ash clouds, an alien face on the surface, a UFO caught on tape, mandatory evacuations, restricted air space, eruptions and no seismic activity.  Where did you put your tinfoil hat? You’re gonna need it!

“Although not visible from the ground, volcanic ash can be highly dangerous for aircraft, clogging up the engines and reducing visibility, experts say.” via http://www.citizen.co.za/index/Article.aspx?pDesc=1,1,22&Type=top&File=newsmlmmd.8a09f0d80c2f8bfe5ad2bcb584e4caa4.1e1.xml These These experts are idiots, as most certainly you can see ash. 

Asholes.

“Volcanic ash consists of tiny jagged pieces of rock and glass. Ash is hard, abrasive, mildly corrosive, conducts electricity when wet, and does not dissolve in water. Falling ash can turn daylight into complete darkness. Accompanied by rain and lightning, the gritty ash can lead to power outages, prevent communications, and disorient people.” says the USGS.

Apparently, ash also has the ability to float at an altitude of 30 to 40,000 feet, grounding planes in some 13 European countries. 

Eyjafjallajokull Volcano Eruption, liveleak

On March 31, 2010 the volcano Eyjafjoll or Eyjafjallajökull erupted near a glacier in southern Iceland shooting ash and molten lava into the air and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people from nearby villages. 

In the early morning hours of April 14th the Icelandic Civil Protection Department ordered evacuations of the towns and farms near Eyjafjallajökull due to a sudden increase in the amount of water in the area’s streams and rivers. Combined with rising water temperature, the increase in streamflow signaled the onset of a jökulhlaup: a flood caused by an eruption under a glacier.http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/view.php?id=43676

Were they perhaps forced from their homes for some sort of secret government mission?   Wouldn’t anyone who lives on Iceland; approximately the size of Ohio and home to 130 volcanoes, know to run like hell when you see an volcanic explosion?  Why did they wait so long to issue an evacuation order?

The volcano let go an impressive lava plume on that day, but there are few images that show any additional explosions- only the ash effecting the atmosphere some two weeks later.   

The scream: A radar image shows the crater of Eyjafjallajokull in southeast Iceland, which looks like the nightmarish face painted by Edvard Munch. AFP GETTY IMAGES.

To give you a comparison, this is what the area looked like in August 2009, and these two photo’s bear little similarity.  There isn’t just one crater, there are three.  Did someone drop a bomb? Did the eruption cause new vents?    

Two glaciers in the south of Iceland appear as dark patches in this orthorectified image: Mýrdalsjökull (larger, right) and Eyjafjallajökull (smaller, left). August 2009

A general expectation is that because of the Eyjafjallajokull eruption, the fissure would widen and in that sense, there’s a greater risk of extending into or underneath the glaciers and prompting an eruption at Katla,” said Andy Russell with Newcastle University’s Earth Surface Processes Research Group, who went with a team to Iceland before the eruption. “From records, we know that every time Eyjafjallajokull erupts, Katla has also erupted.” 

Russell said past Katla eruptions have caused floods the size of the Amazon and sent boulders as big as houses tumbling down valleys and roads. The last major eruption took place in 1918. Floods followed in as little as an hour…  

The last time there was an eruption near the 100-square-mile (160 square-kilometer) Eyjafjallajokull glacier was in 1821, and that was a “lazy” eruption that lasted slowly and continuously for two years. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35988484/ns/technology_and_science-science.  

Double read that- “the eruption lasted for two years,” holy ka-pow and shazam!  People are flipping over a few days of flight interruptions, let alone the potential of years of ash debris preventing air travel.  Say nothing of climategate.

So far as we know, all the military exercises by NATO in the Baltic Sea, those between The U.S. and South Korea, and the Israeli military preparedness drills have not been affected by the ash.  Yesterday’s article has more on restricted airspace possibly being a red flag for something else at   https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/04/15/911-false-flag-volcanic-ash-grounds-flights-military-drills-continue/   

Others are saying:

“It is more or less the same situation as yesterday, it is still erupting, still exploding, still producing gas,” University of Iceland professor Armann Hoskuldsson told Reuters.

“We expect it to last for two days or more or something. It cannot continue at this rate for many days. There is a limited amount of magma that can spew out,” he added, saying it was the magma, or molten rock beneath the Earth’s surface, coming out of the volcano that turned into ash….To the east of the volcano, thousands of hectares of land are covered by a thick layer of ash. http://www.armageddononline.org/Icelandic-volcano-still-spewing-huge-ash-plume.html

In Iceland, “hectares of land are covered by a thick layer of ash,” that have fallen from the sky not and not lingered in the clouds like some kind of gravity defying object.  And, the airport is open!

Yet, it could be two years or two days until the airspace in Europe reopens.  Talk about billions in lost revenue! At least there will be no contrail or chemtrails for awhile.  

Maybe it is not a natural occurrence at all, and the aliens have come to invade or investigate.  The Getty image does sort of resemble a face one might find on the surface of Mars.  Disclose TV has a video showing a UFO disk flying over the volcano at http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/42233/UFO_Disc_Volcano_Iceland_31_March_2010/ Could there be alien ship far beneath the glaciers making an exit or an entrance through the craters?  

  

EPA/EUMETSAT released these four satellite images today, taken at intervals at 11:00 UTC on 16 April 2010 showing the plumes movement.

April 14, 2010 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments aboard NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites.

On April 14,  Morning daylight revealed a spectacular steam plume over Eyjafjallajökull. These natural-color images were obtained by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments aboard NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites. The image was acquired shortly after noon, 12:30 pm local time. The white plume extends roughly 70 kilometers (40 miles) almost due east, rising above snow and clouds and casting a shadow to the north. The white color indicates the plume is primarily steam, unsurprising since 1,200° Celsius (2,200° Fahrenheit) lava reached the surface beneath a 200-meter (700-foot) thick glacier, which was quickly vaporized.

Glance again at the NASA photo, what is that cylindrical image above and a little to the right of the text? A UFO? If the plume is steam as NASA states and not volcanic ash why is airspace closed?

Not surprisingly, just when there might be something to see, NASA says that, “Due to hardware problems some of the subset imagery archive is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”  http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/?subset=Iceland.2010106 

Hmmm, is there something we aren’t supposed to see?

Maybe it’s time to look past airplanes and into future airships that wouldn’t be so effected by ash. http://www.greendiary.com/entry/amazing-futuristic-airships-for-sustainable-air-travel/  

You can still watch the eruption through the clouds on both the Vodafon and Mila.is webcams. Vodaphon updates every 6 seconds.

The plume from the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull volcano is still ongoing, reaching heights of 4 to 5 kilometers, occasionally reaching higher altitudes. The plume drifts with north-westerly winds reaching Europe. It has been detected over Norway, Sweden, northwestern Russia, northern Poland, northern Germany, northern France and southern UK. There is no indication that the ash from the volcano is decreasing and it is predicted that high-level winds will stay north-westerly today. http://en.vedur.is/about-imo/news/2010/nr/1868 From Icelandic Met Office.

ACCORDING TO THE USGS,  THERE IS NO SEISMIC ACTIVITY THAT OCCURED IN ICELAND ON SUNDAY MARCH 21, NOR THE WEEK BEFORE, NOR SINCE.   Where is the scientific data?  Even as the Volcano continues to erupt there is still NO SEISMIC DATA. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html

There is no indication that the conspiracy will be ending anytime soon.   Stay tuned.

UPDATED–  Over the weekend I caught a glimpse of either a UFO or a fabulous lense flare in Iceland from a live webcam. Have a look see for yourself and you decide at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/04/17/ufo-near-iceland-volcano-on-webcam/

False Flag Alert?

Volcanic Ash is supposedly to blame for grounding a significant portion of Air Travel throughout Europe. 

All flights in and out of the UK and several other European countries have been suspended as ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland moves south. Up to 4,000 flights are being cancelled with airspace closed in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark among others.

The UK’s air traffic control service (Nats) said no flights would be allowed in UK airspace until at least 0700 BST on Friday amid fears of engine damage.The airspace restriction was the worst in living memory, a spokesman said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8621407.stm

It is an eerie reminder of 9-11 in the U.S., when all commercial planes were grounded.  For now the skies are quiet in most of the U.K., except for maybe a fighter jet or two.

Volcanic Ash Plume

Or link to the image here http://www.sat24.com/Eyjafjallajokull-volcano.aspx.

One of the largest NATO military drills is being held today, rather conveniently while volcanic ash is keeping all commercial aircraft on the ground around the U.K.  That won’t stop one of the world’s largest military exercises from going forward though.

 A large fleet of warships, submarines, frigates and aircraft from 10 NATO countries and one non-NATO member has congregated here to take part in the ‘Brilliant Mariner’ maritime exercise in the Baltic Sea.

The 10-day long multi-nation naval drill began here on April 12, 2010. It will engage the NATO forces to respond to a number of challenges, including asymmetric or terrorist threats, maritime security operations and embargo operations “in a realistic scenario,” a NATO statement said.

The exercise will see participation of 6,500 defence personnel, 31 warships, 28 aircraft and four submarines that will operate in the Northern European waters and airspace.

The French Navy, which is commanding the maritime exercise, has sent 10 of its warships and 30 aircraft.

Its naval fleet includes aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, amphibious warship Mistral, under-attack submarine Emeraude along with other frigates. The aviation fleet includes Mirage fighter aircraft, Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft and Atlantique 2 maritime patrol aircraft along with other planes.

The countries participating in the huge military drill are Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, USA, France, Norway, Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom and Sweden. Sweden, a non-NATO member, is taking part in the exercise as a ‘Partnership for Peace’ country.http://www.brahmand.com/news/NATO-countries-begin-Brilliant-Mariner-naval-exercise/3645/1/10.html

Things are not so quiet in Israel either!  

Israel is sending a strong message to Iran, US and the world as it readies itself to undertake military drills to strike Iran’s nuclear sites if it gets green signal in future from its government. Israeli military will prepare itself to launch massive aerial attack to bomb nuclear sites in Iran. The drill also includes civil defense drill to prepare civilians(emphasis mine) for the retaliatory attack from Iran too.

No doubt Israel is making it clear to Iran that in case of any eventuality they can bomb more than dozen nuclear sites and moving convoys in a matter of few days or hours.  The on-the-ground preparations, training exercises involving F15 and F16 jets, tankers and helicopters indicate that threat can translate into action.

Israel will need consent from US to carry out such a big operation.  Without US intelligence input it would be impossible to get all information about exact locations of nuclear facilities. But by carrying out this drill Israel is showing a kind of preparedness to take on Iran alone. The fate of Middle East crisis now depends on new Israeli government, Obama and Iran. http://trendsupdates.com/israeli-military-drill-to-strike-iran%E2%80%99s-nuclear-sites/

In the U.S. Northcom, Southcom, FEMA, NORAD and other U.S. government agencies were running drills before 9-11, and before the recent Haiti quake just to name a few.  Read more coincidences between disasters and drills here https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/03/23/earthquake-tsunami-military-drills-precipitate-catastrophe/.

During a conference, Obama said in response to a question on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that such disputes are “costing us significantly in terms of both blood and treasure.” http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3876404,00.html 

We can only hope Obama does a better job.

While it never made the national news, the U.S. and South Korea were playing war games this week with live ammo:

RODRIGUEZ RANGE, South Korea — The U.S. and South Korean militaries on Thursday staged a large live-fire exercise 15 miles south of the Demilitarized Zone, but officials insisted the event was not meant as a warning to North Korea.

“There is not a message we are sending to any particular audience,” said Col. Thomas C. Graves, commander of the 2nd Infantry Division’s 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team. “The message that comes out of this is the strength of the [U.S.-South Korean] alliance across the board.

“We are doing an integration at the combined arms level — at the tactical level — that probably isn’t seen anywhere else in the world. How the North reacts to this is certainly not something I can predict.”

The exercise came on the birthday of Kim Il Sung, North Korea’s founder and the father of current leader Kim Jong Il — and a day after the Korean Central News Agency reported the recent staging of a major military exercise in North Korea to mark the anniversary. http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=69377

That’s three major military drills going on at the same time in the same week. This week also saw another huge earthquake, a cyclone, major flooding and volcanic eruptions.

Convenient timing, would you say? 

SNAFU.

Are the Earthquakes, Cyclones and Volcanoes that are occurring giving clue that some larger catastrophe is coming?

Conspiracies from HAARP, EISCAT, CERN’s LHC and other man-made experiments offer a plausible explanation, but certainly not a definitive one for the cause and frequency of the recent rash of disasters. 

Is Mother Nature having growing pains with theories of Tectonic Shifts, Continental Drift, the sea floor spreading;  maybe a theory of global expansion?  

Professor of Geophysics at the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, John N. Louie, Ph.D teaches, “The plates consist of an outer layer of the Earth, the lithosphere, which is cool enough to behave as a more or less rigid shell. Occasionally the hot asthenosphere of the Earth finds a weak place in the lithosphere to rise buoyantly as a plume, or hotspot.  “Only the lithosphere has the strength and the brittle behavior to fracture in an  earthquake.” http://www.seismo.unr.edu/ftp/pub/louie/class/100/plate-tectonics.html

Dr. J. Louie said, “occasionally,” yet there are daily reports of disasters from the four corners of the earth and a whole lot of places in between- most with no commonality to geography.  Some of the quakes are near tectonic plates, but not all.

The recent earthquakes have many people feeling earthquake anxiety and wondering if they are foretelling “The Big One” in the United States, which geologists say is inevitable.

But the U.S. Geological Survey insists the number of major quakes occurring has not increased in frequency, yet people continue to be unusually concerned.  There is a widespread perception that something unusual is going on – a pervasive level of anxiety regarding the stability of the earth under our feet – something we normally take for granted. http://news.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978171654

Is it just pure randomness?  “In the last few years, scientists have found a new source of randomness that cannot be produced by a computer program. This is called algorithmic randomness and it is the gold standard when it comes to the absence of order.” http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/25041/

There certainly is an absence of order on planet Earth!  There are often earthquake swarms where following one large quake, additional quakes occur as illustrated here http://fromtheold.com/news/earthquakes-today-chile-earthquake-swarm-continues-russia-and-new-guinea-has-few-earthquakes-20; they do not normally occur all over the earth.

Now we are witnessing volcanic swarms!  Thirty years ago, At 8:32 Sunday morning, May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helen’s erupted. Shaken by an earthquake measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale, the north face of this tall symmetrical mountain collapsed in a massive rock debris avalanche. Nearly 230 square miles of forest was blown down or buried beneath volcanic deposits… http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/mshnvm/

Ironically, there in an argument over funding for its National Monument Designation.  http://www.columbian.com/news/2010/apr/14/no-national-park-for-mount-st-helens-yet/

Now we see,

 ” A swarm of small earthquakes began Monday at a volcano near Anchorage in what scientists said was a warning that Mount Redoubt could be waking from its slumber. “It is reminding us that it is an active volcano.” said Rick Wessels, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Anchorage. 

Wessels said the current earthquakes were not connected to Sunday’s magnitude-7.2 quake in Mexico just south of the U.S. border. 

“We wouldn’t expect there to be any connection given the distances,” he said. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j8VGiRVV36COvlIWeZk4NOj06C2wD9ET7N300

We wouldn’t expect a connection?  Except, maybe there is a connection.

The eruption of Fimmvoerduhals volcano in Iceland Photo: EPA

Thousands of miles away:

An Icelandic volcano, dormant for 200 years, has erupted, ripping a 1km-long fissure in a field of ice.  The volcano near Eyjafjallajoekull glacier began to erupt just after midnight, sending lava a hundred metres high.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8578576.stm

Eyjafjallajokull, the Icelandic volcano that has continued to belch lava, ash and steam since first erupting last weekend, isn’t the direct problem. It’s Katla, the noisier neighbor, that’s the concern. If lava flowing from Eyjafjallajokull melts the glaciers that hold down the top of Katla, then Katla could blow its top, pumping gigantic amounts of ash into the atmosphere.

Air Travel Grounded due to Volcanic Ash

Scientists say history has proven that whenever the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupts, Katla always follows — the only question is how soon

“When volcanic ash reaches the stratosphere, it remains for a long time,” reports Hufford. “The ash becomes a very effective block of the incoming solar radiation, thus cooling the atmosphere’s temperatures.”  http://content.usatoday.com/communities/sciencefair/post/2010/03/global-cooling-what-happens-if-the-iceland-volcano-blows/1

The Batu Tara volcano off Indonesia isn’t sleeping soundly either with the Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) showing an ash plume rising 7,000 ft on April 5 and spreading a plume more than 35km.  

USGS offers these updates from around the world:

New Activity/Unrest: | Egon, Flores Island (Indonesia) | Etna, Sicily (Italy) | Eyjafjöll, Southern Iceland | Gaua, Banks Islands (SW Pacific) | Miyake-jima, Izu Islands (Japan) | Redoubt, Southwestern Alaska | Reventador, Ecuador
Ongoing Activity: | Arenal, Costa Rica | Batu Tara, Komba Island (Indonesia) | Dukono, Halmahera | Karymsky, Eastern Kamchatka | Kilauea, Hawaii (USA) | Kliuchevskoi, Central Kamchatka (Russia) | Popocatépetl, México | Rabaul, New Britain | Sakura-jima, Kyushu | Shiveluch, Central Kamchatka (Russia) | Soufrière Hills, Montserrat.  Updates can be found at http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports/usgs/index.cfm?wvarweek=20100407#etna

All that ash is another black mark for global warming.  Perhaps it can be washed clean with water from cyclones or hurricanes?

CALCUTTA, India (AP) — Disaster officials in India say there was no warning issued by forecasters before a cyclone struck overnight in a northeastern region. The storm’s winds topped 100 miles per hour and demolished thousands of mud homes across two states. http://www.wlos.com/template/inews_wire/wires.international/3f9eb90d-www.wlos.com.shtml

"NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth’s environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources."

NO WARNING? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, there are buoys everywhere to set off alarm bells.  The Cyclone is one  the most famous attraction in all of Coney Island and one of the most famous roller coasters in the world, (http://www.coneyislandcyclone.com/)  Those who died and lost their homes got taken for a ride alright, especially with NOAA claiming to predict weather related disaster.

West Bengal is located at approximately, Latitude : 23° 00′ N  Longitude : 87° 00′ E.  The closet data buoy is hundreds of miles away at Station 23101
National Institute for Ocean Technology
Location:
14N 83.3E
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=23101  It is apparently out of order.  Could it have predicted the coming cyclone to give warning? It was supposed to. 

 
 
 

Relative Intensities of NOAA POES Energetic Particles

Perhaps it is the Earth’s bombardment of Energetic Particles or Space Weather causing an abundance of earthquakes, volcanoes and cyclones all on one day.  

 

The expanding cloud could deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field around April 17th. NOAA forecasters estimate a 35% chance of polar geomagnetic activity when the CME arrives. Photo byJo Dahlmans of Ulestraten, The Netherlands.

Coincidences or not, the Earth is ticked off.  I wonder when CERN powers down if the Earth will settle down as well. 

Stay tuned.

Earthquakes were reported prior to the West Virginia mine explosion, killing 25.  Hope dims to find additional survivors.

A 3.4 Magnitude earthquake hit the region days before, http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/sehnw0404b.php#details.  Earthquakes release Methane as does coal mining, so one has to pull out the tin foil hat to see if there is a correlation.

Julie Dutton from USGS claims there is little probability that the two are connected at  http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/04/06/seismic-events-triggered-explosion/ but does not completely rule out the possibility.

On March 28, 2010 miners were trapped in a China mining disaster, with more being rescued a week later. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/06/world/asia/06mine.html  While http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/qed/  shows minimal activity in the region, in fact- you have to back up 4 days to see anything  more than a 4+ in China. 

Maybe God had a bad day, as March 28, was also Easter Sunday. http://www.usccb.org/nab/032810.shtml Though, I take my tin foil hat off the think if God was pissed off the calamity would be far more reaching than a coal mining disaster.  Maybe an earthquake in Mexico instead?

CERN and FERMI are still setting world plasma records, the solar flares are at an uptick and so far it it not the end of the world as we know it,,,,unless you are one of the dead from the recent quakes or coal mining incidents.

A whole flipping lot of them as CERN’s LHC remains powered up, setting world plasma collider records. 

http://www.cyriak.co.uk/lhc/lhc-webcams.html shows the destruction, though not actual- certainly plausible.  In reality, the public channel from CERN is rather reassuring http://public.web.cern.ch/public/ achem- as we clear our throats.

Shaking, rattling and rolling…, hold on. posted via i-phone……………………………

Chemtrails, Contrails, Skytrails, where are all the fluffy clouds?  As March comes to a close, this past month has been exceptionally volatile for the earth.  Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunami warnings, and irregular weather at varying latitudes and longitudes.

Alas, there is light at the end of Winter’s Tunnel.  We are finally into Spring and with the clocks having changed and the earth’s rotation, we have more hours daylight and what should be sunshine.  In this video though the sunshine is certainly lacking with a full display of airplane emissions engulfing the sky.

“It is important to distinguish between contrails and chemtrails. Contrails are streaks of condensed water vapor created in the air by jet airplanes at high altitudes. Contrails can exist in two forms: water droplet and ice crystal. Contrails typically become visible about a wingspans distance behind an aircraft flying at high altitude. The trail dissipates quite quickly, usually within a minute or so. Chemtrails, on the other hand, are visible directly behind an aircraft, with little or no gap between the aircraft and the start of the trail. Chemtrails are said to vary from contrails in their length of persistence. Chemtrails do not dissipate quickly; they tend to form into mushy clouds which can block sunlight. Some people are reporting what they describe to be unusual activity in the sky, including jets leaving trails at low altitudes, spray lines creating X’s, S’s and parallel lines, lines that slowly spread to create a canopy of haze, and reports of unusual smells, tastes, and even illness related to the trails. Also, a reddish-brown gel, dropped from low-flying aircraft, has been observed by people in the past and was even documented on Unsolved Mysteries. Samples of this substance have been allegedly analyzed by Margareta-Erminia Cassani and found to be teaming with biological organisms. Other tests have shown that chemtrails contain more than 3 times the legal level of the toxic substance, barium. Chemtrails may also be one of the primary contributory factors in the collapse of honey bee colonies worldwide. Albert Einstein clearly knew the importance of the honey bee when he said: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.””

This 5-minute video serves only as an introduction to the phenomenon of chemtrails-

Last week while prepping the farm, I got bit by a bee and thought nothing of it.  A sign of spring and pollination of the crops, was I wrong!  The bite on my leg swelled to the size of my hand, red, and itchy it lasted for a week and there remains a purplish haze under the affected area.  Maybe a killer bee?  I killed it.

The 2010 prognosis for honey bees doesn’t look good, according to Jeff Pettis, Research Leader at the USDA Bee Lab.

Although hard data won’t be available until April, preliminary surveys of our nation’s beekeepers suggest that at least as many bee colonies have died off over the winter as they have the last few years — and possibly even more than in years past — thanks to Colony Collapse Disorder, or CCD. …

And here’s the really bad news: This is the fourth year surveying honey bee losses across the U.S. In 2007, beekeepers lost 32 percent of their colonies. In 2008 they lost 36 percent. In 2009, 29 percent.  Pettis suspects the 2010 numbers will be as bad or worse than these previous surveys.  http://news.discovery.com/animals/honey-bees-disappearing-still-a-problem.html

The chemtrail, contrails and skytrails seem to be increasing as the bee population is decreasing.  Coincidence? http://www.chemtrailcentral.com/ is a great place to follow recent events in the sky and although not so up to date is http://educate-yourself.org/ct/ has much more information. Best of all with tons of chemtrail videos may we suggest http://weatherwars.info/

“They can use [HAARP] to warm the upper atmosphere to lift it, to create domes [in the ionosphere]. …Once you’ve got the particulates via the chemtrails laid out in the sky, you can deposit heat in the atmosphere.

And as you deposit it and warm the air you create a high pressure and if you continually pulse zone – grid by grid by grid, you can accentuate that high pressure that is in place and thereby diverting the jet stream north or south of that island of air.” – Award winning TV Weatherman, Scott Stevens during Project Camelot interview on Jan. 21 2010.

In January, we asked we looked into HAARP and EISCAT in relation to the Haiti quake at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/01/14/haiti-earthquake-conspiracy-haarp-eiscat/ There are 50 or so more articles on earthquake conspiracy, HAARP and related topics by the writers of Ahrcanum here at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/earthquakes-haarp/

For our subscribers, as always thank you for visiting. If you do not subscribe, we encourage you to do so or follow us on Twitter.  As the main administer of Ahrcanum, for a week or two writing here will be intermittent barring some major calamity in the news that we feel merits our viewpoints. 

Following the suggestions of our ancestors the Full Moon  is Tomorrow, Tue. Mar. 30 @ 1:25 GMT and offers the best time to plant. 

Instead of sitting in the warm barium free office, I will be cultivating the flora and fauna, preparing the land.  I will be inhaling whatever comes my way and yes, that includes a limited amount of chemical pesticides and fertilizers to increase crop revenue.  I will also be breathing whatever those planes are dispersing over my fields.  Sorry Charlie, all organic farming just isn’t as profitable.  If it makes you feel better we do not plant Genetically Modified Seeds.  I will also be cursing Al Gore for his global warming opinion and President Obama for a myriad of things; though not wishing them harm, but for changes I can believe in that they don’t. 

When the bees come to pollinate, let’s hope I don’t get bit again.  A pondering thought- can cell phone relay towers emit signals that kills or changes bee behaviour, and what about HAARP- wouldn’t it make sense that changes in the ionosphere could be picked up by bees?  Maybe the damned bee was attracted to the signal emitted by my cell phone that I wear in a case connected to my belt?

Buzzzzzzzzz.

Mars ended its significant visibility from Earth on Thursday night, March 25, 2010.  It is still there though but fading and it will not come close to earth again until 2012.  

What is that bright light next to the Moon?…night by night as the moon travels along the ecliptic, the path the sun, moon and planets follow across the sky. If you ask the question again on Monday night, March 29, the answer will be the ringed planet Saturn. Such conjunctions of the moon and planets are regular reminders of how rapidly the moon moves across the sky. http://www.space.com/spacewatch/gaherty-mars-100324.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+spaceheadlines+%28SPACE.com+Headline+Feed%29&utm_content=Twitter   

With Mars next closest approach in 2012, we’ve got our tin foil hats back on wondering if the alleged Planet X or Nibiru will block our view and what impact it may have on Planet Earth?  

Amateur astronomers pick up new entities and images all the time including Robert Harrison who pretty much put NASA to shame with his recent images at a cost of about $750 U.S.D.  

Amateur photography of Earth

“It’s amazing what a little British ingenuity and a shoe-string budget can achieve. These glorious photos of space were taken by amateur enthusiast Robert Harrison, using a cheap Canon digital camera, some duct tape and a helium balloon.   http://gnews.com/science/Million-Dollar-NASA-Photos-Beaten-by-Budget-Balloon-632572225751.html  

More of his images can be found here-http://www.flickr.com/photos/30721501@N05/collections/72157621244472915/?page_id=125  

What is the astronomic object at 19 25 12 -89 46 03?  We believe NASA knows, is being tight lipped and continues to deny this objects.

In particular, several threads of irrational thought have created an internet phantom, the secret planet Nibiru. It’s the bowling ball, and Earth is the pin. There is no such planet, though it is often equated with Eris, a plutoid orbiting safely and permanently beyond Pluto. Some insist, however, that a NASA conspiracy is in play and that Nibiru, looming in on the approach, can already be seen in broad daylight from the Southern Hemisphere. It was supposed to become visible from the Northern Hemisphere, too, by last May, but like a fickle blind date, it stood up those awaiting it. Wrote  E. C. Krupp, Director of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, via NASA at http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012-guest.html –

None the less images are available.

Will Earth’s inhabitants ascend to a higher plane?  Is Earth doomed or redeemed?  Consider the following from http://newstalk.daturic.com/planet-x-nibiru-home-of-the-annunaki/…  

* The sun is more excited currently than in the past 150 years.
* Solar cycle #twenty four can be the most violent ever (peaking in 2012)
* Mercury’s magnetic field is expanding as a result
* Venus is displaying a brightness that is 2500% greater than normal
* Mars & Earth are showing great global warming (there are no cars on Mars!)
* Jupiter’s plasma clouds are brighter by 200%
* Saturn’s jet streams are acting uncharacteristically
* Uranus is generating clouds!
* Neptune has shown a 40% increase in brightness since 1996.
* Pluto has increased 3.6 degrees F even while moving away from the sun.
* NASA recently discovered a faint atmosphere on the moon, it wasn’t there the last time we visited.  

  
 

   

 
 

Image above: These time-lapse images of a new found planet in our solar system, called 2003UB313, were taken on Oct. 21, 2003, using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at the Palomar Observatory near San Diego, Calif. The planet, circled in white, is seen moving across a field of stars. The three images were taken about 90 minutes apart.

After 75 years of speculation and false leads, it has finally happened. A team of astronomers using the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory and the 8-meter Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, has discovered the largest Kuiper Belt object (KBO) ever.  It is bigger than Pluto, the 9th planet. The object, designated 2003 UB313, is currently 97 astronomical units (Earth-Sun distances) away — more than twice Pluto’s average distance from the Sun. This makes it the farthest object ever seen in the solar system http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/3310526.html?page=1&c=y  

TWO YEARS LATER- July 29, 2005: “It’s definitely bigger than Pluto.” So says Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology who announced today the discovery of a new planet in the outer solar system. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/29jul_planetx.htm  

Planet X remains hypothetical?  

A hypothetical Solar System object is a planet, natural satellite or similar body in our Solar System whose existence is not known, but has been inferred from observational scientific evidence….Planet X, a hypothetical planet beyond Neptune???????, via WIKI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hypothetical_Solar_System_objects Why does  

Planet X remains hypothetical in this list, even though NASA has confirmed it’s existence?  Is there more than one planet out there that has been identified, but it’s information not released?  

There are hundreds, if not thousands+ of planet–sized objects known and yet unknown, but what are the chances that the same coordinates line up to a predicted end of time?  What of the Kuiper belt?  

The Kuiper belt is a great ring of debris similar to the asteroid belt, but it is composed mainly of ice. Kuiper extends between 30 and 50 AU from the Sun, and it is composed mainly of small solar system bodies. Many large objects are in the Kuiper belt such as Pluto, Quaor, Varuna, and Orcus which may be reclassified as dwarf planets

The Kuiper belt terminates suddenly at a distance of 48 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun (by comparison, Neptune lies 30 AU from the Sun), and there is some speculation that this sudden drop-off, known as the “Kuiper cliff”, may be attributed to the presence of an object with a mass between that of Mars and Earth located beyond 48 AU.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_X#cite_note-Brunini2002-48  

From 2005, “The object, designated 2003 UB313, is currently 97 astronomical units (Earth-Sun distances) away — more than twice Pluto’s average distance from the Sun. This makes it the farthest object ever seen in the solar system…the 8-meter Gemini North telescope, show methane ice on the object’s surface — much like the spectrum of Pluto, which is also dominated by methane ice in the near infrared.http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/3310526.html?page=1&c=y  

Back to the Methane!  Methane has also been discovered on Mars, “…about 90% of the earth’s methane gas comes from living things, such as the decomposition of organic materials. So this is tantalizing evidence that perhaps some form of Martian life created this methane. https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/methane-bubbles-in-arctic-sea-methanegate-by-cern-haarp-w-earthquake-conspiracy/  

What was or is alive on the mysterious Planet X to contain Methane?  Aliens? Earthlings? Microbes? The Annunaki?

Has Nibiru/Planet X Been Sighted?  

Is Nibiru going to appear in April, 2003 as is being claimed by certain New Age Gurus?  In a word, NO. And you can take that to the bank.  

  • It is part of a COINTELPRO operation designed to drive believers over the edge and force legislation against alternative ideas, research, and the free exchange of information over the Internet.
  • It is part of the Stargate Conspiracy.

Remember Hale Bopp? Remember Heaven’s Gate? Have we learned anything? with duplicated sources at  http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/sitchin.htm and http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/hercolobus/esp_hercolobus_56.htm Discounting the possibility that a Planet X could be catastrophic for the Earth.  

Is it the end of the world as we know it?   One thing for sure, Mars is moving away and something besides Saturn appears to be getting closer.  Only time will tell.

R.E.M Lyrics, “It’s The End of The World.  

That’s great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes,
an aeroplane – Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn,
world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak,, grunt, no, strength,
The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing!
Fine, then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it’ll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right – right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.  

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

24 Cancelled. Image Fox

24 CANCELLED.  Fox TV today stopped the clock on “24,” ending one of the  most successful dramas in its eighth season.

While ratings were slipping a bit make no mistake there is more money to be made on the big screen. “Looking ahead to the future, (executive producer) Howard Gordon and I are excited about the opportunity to create the feature film version of ’24’,” Sutherland added.http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE62Q03020100327

Ya know what- frig u.  As much as we like the show, we’ve got something else to do with 24 hours than watch Jack .  Jack ing off for free rather than paying $12 for a 3D version at the theatre sounds like a good date.  Oh yeah, the gosh dang cable bill is already $190 a month and we pop our own popcorn.  Thank you very much.

How much is FOX selling the rights for? 

Who really cares if it adds to the bottom line.  Too bad for us followers who watched the show for 6-7 years filled w all the crap commercials.  Let’s hope it turns out better than the X-Files movies that fell far flat from the entertaining series on TV.

Scully: You have seen this before, I can tell. You lied to them.
Mulder: I would never lie. I willfully participated in a campaign of misinformation. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106179/quotes

Same shit, different show, different day –24 hours later, my cable bill is the same without 24.

Sunspot-space station conjunction

The Space Station was caught on film in orbit over sunspot 1057! 

Yesterday in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, astrophotographer John Stetson and his son Peter observed a very rare event–a sunspot-space station conjunction. 

“We knew when to look thanks to a prediction from CalSky,” says Stetson. “The International Space Station transited the solar disk in only 0.62 seconds. We managed to catch the station’s silhouette just as it was passing sunspot 1057.” Stetson has been photographing solar transits for years; he ranks this one as “the best yet.”  As far as we know, this is the first time the ISS has been observed in conjunction with a big sunspot. via http://spaceweather.com/.

If you are so inclined to track the ISS yourself you will have to go to http://spaceflight1.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/index.html.-  NASA no longer tracks it.

Heaven’s Above http://www.heavens-above.com/ does not appear to be so private.  It is hosted by Space Operations and Astronaut Training
DLR Space Operations, the central institution for spaceflight operations in Germany. http://www.dlr.de/rb/en/

The Expedition 23 crew members aboard the International Space Station were busy Thursday with an emergency Soyuz descent training drill and preparations for the arrival of space shuttle Discovery and the STS-131 crew…. Discovery and the STS-131 crew are targeted to launch to the station on April 5, bringing a multi-purpose logistics module filled with science racks for the station’s laboratories.  http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html 

The really cool thing would have been if the ISS snapped a picture up close of the solar spot. Even better, zoomed in on the coordinates and location of the photographers on earth and taken their picture, taking their picture!

Can they do that?  Terra Server http://www.terraserver.com/ and Google Earth http://earth.google.com/ are pretty good at it and so are governments.

The code named Kennan “Keyhole-class” (KH) reconnaissance satellites have been orbiting the Earth for more than 30 years. They are typically used to take overhead photos for military missions. The big question for a lot of people is: “What can they see?”

A KH-12 is a $1 billion satellite that resembles the Hubble Space Telescope, except it is looking at our planet. For security reasons, there are no published orbit schedules for the imagery spacecraft. They are supplemented by the 15-ton Lacrosse-class radar-imaging satellites…They have an imaging resolution of 5-6 inches, which means they can see something 5 inches or larger on the ground. These satellites probably can’t read your house number, but they can tell whether there is a bike parked in your driveway. http://science.howstuffworks.com/question529.htm

March 19, 2010 was a different story, at least for Earth.

This photo is a still taken from a NASA Allsky camera video taken of a meteor fireball over western Alabama on March 19, 2010. The meteor was about the size of a soccer ball and completely incinerated before reaching the ground, scientists say.

A bright fireball that lit up the sky above parts of Alabama last week  was caught by NASA cameras as it streaked over the southeastern United States. 

The fireball was caused by the death plunge of a meteor about the size of a soccer ball as it burned up in Earth’s atmosphere on Friday, March 19, at 11:19 p.m. local time while flying over western Alabama. Two NASA cameras, one based at the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., recorded a the meteor’s fiery demise as it happened. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/03/25/nasa-camera-catches-fireball-alabama/

Pretty good photo, eh?  A good explanation too, but what are all those other bright white lights on the right side of the earth?  UFO’s, asteroids, meteors, other satellites…?

The next meteor shower is the Lyrids on April 21. The Moon is just past first quarter, so it sets around 3 or 4 a.m., providing several hours of meteor watching before dawn. http://stardate.org/nightsky/meteors/

Keep looking up.
