The Shining & The 2012 Movie
Found this via The Wrong Way Wizard blog:
The teaser trailer for 2012 uses the same music as the theatrical trailer for The Shining. Watch both trailers and compare the music and visual themes. Both previews depict a flood.
He also links to a massive look into hidden messages of The Shining, which notices that there is a piece of Mayan artwork in the film:
Meanwhile the Lord Pakal Ahau folk have noticed that a Mayan pyramid appears in the Beatles’ movie Yellow Submarine:
Protect Your Bunker From Earthquakes
For surviving 2012, a bunker is your #1 bet. If you design it well, and locate it well, it is almost perfect:
on a clear hill, with nothing that can fall on top of it
far enough from the coast to be safe from the tallest tsunami
deep enough in the ground to be safe from radiation
sealed and filtered
a safe distance from volcanoes
hidden from humans
Possibly the hardest to protect yourself from is earthquakes, which can happen anywhere, and in a SHTF scenario could occur everywhere. Researchers might have found an effective, and maybe even cost-effective earthquake barrier:
Researchers say they have found a way to make buildings essentially invisible to earthquakes. If perfected, the technique could protect skyscrapers and homes alike from even the most devastating temblors.
Earthquakes, sunlight, and radio all share a common factor: They propagate via waves. The only difference is that earthquake waves are so powerful–their energy can equal several …
Mammoths in UK later than thought
Mammoth bones found in Shropshire, England provide the most geologically recent evidence of woolly mammoths in the UK and North Western Europe. The new evidence proves that mammoths existed in Britain long beyond when they were previously believed to have become extinct.
The bones, of one adult male and at four baby mammoths, were first excavated in 1986, but back then the carbon dating used was not as accurate as today. Consequently the extinction date has been advanced from 21,000 years ago to roughly 14,000 years ago.
“The new dates of the mammoths’ last appearance correlate very closely in time to climate changes when the open grassy habitat of the Ice Age was taken over by advancing forests, which provides a likely explanation for their disappearance,” said Lister. “There were humans around during the time of the Condover mammoths, but no evidence of significant mammoth hunting.”
Instead of a pole shift, or …
Chinese “Tomb” of Emperor Qin Shihuang – A Pyramid
In Science magazine, (Vol 325, pages 22-23), I was amazed to read what is perhaps the most mundane description of a pyramid ever:
Soon after Qin took power, he began preparing for the afterlife. Construction of his mausoleum at Mount Li, 35 kilometers east of Xi’an, took 38 years. The mausoleum, once crowned with pavilions, was never a secret, and even today it is visible as a kilometer-long wooded mound that rises a gentle 75 meters above the surrounding land.
And here is the mausoleum that gently rises 75 meters:
The above image is from the People’s Daily Online. It is a refreshing change from the hill we usually see:
That the Chinese pyramids are in fact pyramids has been very under-investigated. Pyramids in Egypt and Americas have been argued to be a coincidence. How many more do we need before orthodox archaeologists consider that a common culture created them all?
Samoa, Indonesia, Central America, …
Martian Invasion in 2012?
Well, more Martian Importation:
A Mars mission to be launched in October on a Russian robot spacecraft will include specimens of thale cress; tiny water creature tardigrade – or water bear – which can also survive extraordinary extremes of temperature and pressure; samples of brewer’s yeast; and permafrost from the Siberian Arctic. Together with several other microscopic organisms, these representatives of Earth life will be carried in a package that will be flown to Mars and are scheduled to be returned to Earth in 2012.
Could it be that, due to our own stupidity, we import something alien and dangerous in 2012? I can’t help but think some expert will declare a sample to be inert, and that will be mankind’s famous last words….
2012 T-Shirt Design
Over at Threadless is a half-finished design that, if you vote for it, might become a t-shirt you can wear:
Obama Visits Egyptian Pyramids
There has been plenty of discussion at the 2012 Forum regarding Obama not being all that he seems – more of a charismatic puppet for the Illuminati et al, less of a socialist hero.
Consequently I find it interesting that he has paid a visit to the Giza pyramids. It could just be that he figured he’d take a look around while he was there. Or does he have a deeper interest, one that may be a factor in 2012? Pure speculation of course.
The visit followed Obama’s speech to the Islamic world from Cairo University. Zawi Hawass said:
“This is the longest official visit to the pyramids, at around 75 minutes. Almost every official visiting Cairo travels to the pyramids, which rise up from the desert outside the Egyptian capital.
Oceans Might Cause Magnetic Pole Shifts
There has been considerable difficulty trying to determine if a magnetic pole shift will occur in 2012. The underlying problem is that orthodox science has not been able to work out how our planet’s magnetic field ticks, and all we have seen is guesswork.
According to Wikipedia:
There is no clear theory as to how the geomagnetic reversals might have occurred. Some scientists have produced models for the core of the Earth wherein the magnetic field is only quasi-stable and the poles can spontaneously migrate from one orientation to the other over the course of a few hundred to a few thousand years. Other scientists propose that the geodynamo first turns itself off, either spontaneously or through some external action like a comet impact, and then restarts itself with the magnetic “North” pole pointing either North or South.
Current theories are not capable of producing predictions of when the next reversal might occur. …
Solar Storm on July 7 Predicted by Crop Circle
I’m open-minded, but unconvinced that crop circles are anything but a distraction created by the armed forces using futuristic weapons. Usually the circles are just complex images that can be decoded by folk well-versed in science, myth and esoteric arts. This one stands out because it seems to predict something that orthodox science has not predicted (to my knowledge…) – a solar storm on July 7th of this year, a couple of days from now.
The circle just looks like a jellyfish. However it has 7 circles in its tail, and 7 tentacles = July 7th. And on that date there will be a penumbral lunar eclipse. It can be seen rising over Australia after sunset on July 7, and setting over the west of North and South America just before the dawn of July 7.
Earth changes researchers tend to associate earthquakes, tsunamis etc with astrological phenomena like full moons and …
UltraSound and Evolution
Barely mentioned in the scientific media, heating from sonic waves can activate genes:
Using mice engineered with a bioluminescent gene containing a heat-sensitive stretch of DNA, they focused high-intensity ultrasound pulses on a 0.5-millimeter-wide patch of the mice’s legs, heating up that area just below the skin’s surface to about 43 degrees Celsius (109 degrees Fahrenheit). Light given off revealed that the gene became active.
Call me stupid, but could there be a link between why dogs have evolved to hear ultrasounds (for no purpose that I could find), and the ability of these waves to activate genes, and evolution?
