Survivalists in Florida

May 19, 2012 – 11:49 pm | 2 Comments

Great article in the Miami New Times last week, profiling preppers and survivalists like these folk:
Jorge Villa – after a terrifying experience during Hurricane Andrew he devised his own bunkers, and sells them to folk – some of whom are worried about the end of the Mayan calendar – via his business U.S. Bunkers
Neal Wiseman – moderates a group called the South Florida Survivalist Network, and has a year’s worth of food stored for his family, should the need arise:

Chris Petrovich – prepper for 25 years. He has helped others “cache extra fuel and food, stashed in public-storage units and underground, at intervals on an 800-to-1,200-mile path out of Florida. Amid darkness and chaos, skirting burning sugarcane fields and accidents and roadblocks, they’ll drive from cache to cache toward a secret inland hiding spot, exhausting the last available remnants of the petroleum age.”
While Petrovich himself plans on staying, I agree with …

New Evidence for Rapid Magnetic Pole Shift

Submitted by Robert Bast on September 3, 2010 – 2:26 pm7 Comments

Suddenly a candidate for 2012 becomes more feasible… if only we can work out a way the Mayans could have predicted it!

Previous evidence for a high-speed pole shift (in 1995) was dismissed by most scientists because it was an anomaly. Now that more evidence has emerged, it is time for geologists to accept that a magnetic pole shift can affect us without notice.

This lava, Bogue says, initially started to cool and then was heated again within a year as a fresh lava flow buried it. The fresh lava re-magnetized the crystals within the rock below, causing them to reorient themselves a whopping 53 degrees. At the rate the lava would have cooled, says Bogue, that would mean the magnetic field was changing direction at approximately 1 degree per week. (Read the full news item at Wired.com.)

Still scientists are clinging to a slow reversal, rather than an on/off switch. 53 degrees of difference between one year and the next does not necessarily mean it took a whole year. If there were three data points, then a rate of change can be deduced. But with two, it is impossible to determine the rate of change. It’s like saying I was asleep at midnight, and awake at 7am, therefore it takes me 7 hours to slowly awake.

But apocalyptic SyFy channel movies to the contrary, nobody should worry about waking up one morning to geomagnetic havoc, says Bogue. “To geologists a polarity reversal is a nearly instantaneous thing that changes a global feature of the Earth — it’s really a spectacular phenomenon,” he says. “But if you were alive when it was happening, it probably wouldn’t be that big a deal.”

No big deal! Well, all GPS systems will fail, alongside any equipment that depends on it. We are also likely to discover that many more animals are affected that expected, and who knows what a planet full of disoriented beings would be like! Oh, and don’t forget that minor detail of the protection we receive from the geomagnetic field – if the pole shift involves that shield disappearing for a day, anything out in the sun could suffer terribly.

  • Excellent post!

    The Mayans could have predicted it the same way that all prophets get their predictions–they have access to the Universal Mind.

    Hi Rob
    Just letting you know that I wrote a 5-part article on the ‘evidence’ shown to us in the 5 months of this year that the magnetic shift started, and is proceeding in an exponential speed curve. The article is called ‘Gaia’s first 2012 chills’.

    Keep up the good work

    Love

    Hello,
    Dec 21st…2012 will mark both an end and a beginning. I say this because for something to begin, something has to end.

    Most likely scenario among the current factors which could be responsbile, is the solar hotspot cycle theory. Earth pole shifts usually have occured over thousands of years.
    So it is unlikey to happen.

    The burst of heat and radiation from the sun will most likely fry up the global electric grids, satellites, electronics and all circuits. This will lead to global financial,banking, IT collapse which in turn evetually lead to the collapse of global economies resulting in massive unemployment, war,hunger,spread of disease which could directly and indirectly wipe out 70% of global human population. This signifies and end to the current human civilisation as we know it.

    Bu the remaining 30% who survive will come out stronger and this 30% will repopulate the earth gradually leading to the beginning of a new civilisation. Since animals and plants live off the grid:-) they will survive too.

    This is my conclusion based on the predictions of many people who say 2012 will mark the end and some who say the calender actually implies that 2012 will mark a new beginning.

    As an explorer who has been to the North and South Poles a number of times, I have seen the effect of the movement very practically. In terms of 2012 though, and global change i much prefer the prognosis given by an Indian Enlightened master who is noticing that the gravitational pull is getting less. He also notices that the effect on the human body is to lower the rate of thinking. This disturbs people who are addicted to high thought rates, and assists those who are interested in meditation. He describes this shift as as huge as the shift from walking on 4 legs to walking on two. You can watch him explain more at http://www.dhyanapeetem.org
    Enjoy!

    Hey.
    Just been reading up on all this. Pretty new to this whole thing
    so forgive me if I’m wrong…..
    I read somewhere or possibly heared that the Mayans referred to the Earths pulse eventually growing strong enough by the end of the 4th cycle that it “flips” us into the new cycle of the 5th world. Ether or spirit?
    Could this possibly refer to a Magnetic Polar Shift?
    And Rob, I did find reference to the Aztecs whom both they and the Mayans took the long cycle calendar from the Olmecs. The Aztecs DID prophecise of the end of the cycle and a catastrophy. And end by eathquakes. Possibly a reference to a Crustal Pole Shift?

  • Robert Bast says:

    @Mikey: the Earth pulse thing sounds like something said by a modern New Age Mayan.

    You are correct about the Aztecs – their calendar was virtually the same and they said this age will end in catastrophe. And the Mayans said that’s what happened at the end of each previous age, therefore inferring disaster for 2012.

    The more the supposed experts find that challenge their set beliefs, the more irony I find. The magnetic reversal is happening right now, it is changing faster than the scientists can imagine or admit to. It’s funny how ignorant these committees are being made to look, kinda makes the cost of their collective collage degrees seem like a total waste of money, hmmm. Lamonema Nm156
