A Russian Solution to the Apophis non-problem
Universe Today recently reported a Russian plan to deflect an asteroid that is not expected to be a problem:
Russia is considering sending a spacecraft to deflect a large asteroid and prevent a possible collision with Earth, according to a radio interview by the head of the country’s space agency. Anatoly Perminov said the space agency will hold a meeting soon to assess a mission to Apophis, and said NASA, ESA, the Chinese space agency and others would be invited to join the project. Apophis is a 270-meter (885-foot) asteroid that was spotted in 2004. It is projected to come within 29,450 kilometers (18,300 miles) of Earth in 2029, and currently has an estimated 1-in-250,000 chance of hitting Earth in 2036.
Perminov said that he heard from a scientist that Apophis is getting closer and may hit the planet. “I don’t remember exactly, but it seems to me it could hit the Earth by 2032,” Perminov said. “People’s lives are at stake. We should pay several hundred million dollars and build a system that would allow to prevent a collision, rather than sit and wait for it to happen and kill hundreds of thousands of people.”
The poor guy has received lot of flak in the media about his uncertainty regarding the date, but to be fair it was a radio interview, not a press release…
There are several reasons why Perminov spoke of the Russian plans:
- they could be genuinely be planning such a mission, so that when a real threat arrives, the world will be ready, thanks to Russia
- they could just be trying to embarrass the US to work harder on this scenario
- it could be spin, a cover of sorts for the asteroid/comet they know will be hitting us in 2012 (pure paranoid speculation based on their mega-bunkers)

Come on People!
The writing is clearly being written on the wall!
You can choose to look the other way but 2+2 = 4… every time.
All of the science and all of the spiritual doctrines of the world have been warning humanity for thousands of years about these event possibilities.
Something is going to change the orbit of Apophis to ensure it arrives on time Dec 2012 as predicted by multiple doctrines worldwide.
It might be this international mission which accidentally changes Apophis’s ordit or other solar collision, but one of a million events will occur to ensure Apophis gets here on time.
The balance of the earth must be corrected. Every time the earth re-balances it is usually a very violent event. Earth quakes, Volcanoes, Tornadoes, hurricanes are all about re-balancing the earth.
The asteriod re-balancing events are little more serious as these events are usually associated to changing the balance of the life force or dominant spies on earth.
Therefore we’ve got a big problem, we’re the dominant spies on this planet that is out of balance.
Excessive human consumption of the earths resources is the problem.
Therefore we must find a way to change or pay a very serious price. Extinction!
If you thinking of digging a hole and waiting it out!
You better learn to hold your breath as we might not have an atmosphere after this one.
Unfortunately history tells us that you will all discard these ideas as ridiculous or label these ideas as fear mongering and in-turn choose look the other way and to learn the extinction lessons the hard way.
Please do not forget, the earth has one powerful ethics enforcer. God, Angels, extraterrestrials or universal life force… call it what you want but the message is clear, live in balance with life or loose your own life!
We have not been good care takers of this giant experiment. earth.
Therefore I’m pretty sure history tells us that the universe finds a way to correct these types of problems, one way or another.
The spiritual doctrines of the world have been trying to warn us about the rules of life since we could write them down.
From one human to another, please prepare to take care of your friends and family.
If we can all hold our business and government leaders to higher ethical standards maybe the technologies they use to power the international space station, will be used here on earth to ensure we all can live in balance with the earth and maybe Apophis will leave us allown for another 26,000 years.
For your children and mine, this will be in my prayers.
