			(CHICAGO) 
			NASA has been warning about it… scientific papers have 
			been written about it… geologists have seen its traces in rock strata 
			and ice core samples…
 Now "it" is here:
 
				
				an unstoppable magnetic pole shift that has sped 
			up and is causing life-threatening havoc with the world's weather.   
				
				 
			Forget about global warming - man-made or natural 
			- what drives 
			planetary weather patterns is the climate and what drives the 
			climate is the sun's magnetosphere and its electromagnetic 
			interaction with a planet's own magnetic field.
 When the field shifts, when it fluctuates, when it goes into flux 
			and begins to become unstable anything can happen. And what normally 
			happens is that all hell breaks loose.

			Magnetic polar shifts have occurred many times in Earth's history. 
			It's happening again now to every planet in the solar system 
			including Earth.
 The magnetic field drives weather to a significant degree and when 
			that field starts migrating superstorms start erupting.
 
 
			  
			
			The superstorms have arrived
 
 The first evidence we have that the dangerous superstorm cycle has 
			started is the devastating series of storms that pounded the UK 
			during late 2010.
 
 On the heels of the lashing the British Isles sustained, monster 
			storms began to lash North America. The latest superstorm - as of this 
			writing - is a monster over the U.S. that stretched across 2,000 miles 
			affecting more than 150 million people.
 
			  
			
			 
			  
			Yet even as that storm wreaked havoc across the Western, Southern, 
			Midwestern and Northeastern states, another superstorm broke out in 
			the Pacific and closed in on Australia.
 The southern continent had already dealt with the disaster of 
			historic superstorm flooding from rains that dropped as much as 
			several feet in a matter of hours. Tens of thousands of homes were 
			damaged or destroyed. After the deluge tiger sharks were spotted 
			swimming between houses in what was once a quiet suburban 
			neighborhood.
 
 Shocked authorities now numbly concede that much of the water may 
			never dissipate and have wearily resigned themselves to the 
			possibility that region will now contain a new inland sea.
 
 But then only a handful of weeks later another superstorm - the 
			megamonster
			
			cyclone Yasi - struck northeastern Australia. The damage 
			it left in its wake is being called by rescue workers a war zone.
 
 The incredible superstorm packed winds near 190mph. Although labeled 
			as a category-5 cyclone, it was theoretically a category-6.
 
			  
			The 
			reason for that is storms with winds of 155mph are considered 
			category-5, yet Yasi was almost 22 percent stronger than that.
 
			  
			
			A cat's cradle
 
 Yet Yasi may only be a foretaste of future superstorms. Some climate 
			researchers, monitoring the rapidly shifting magnetic field, are 
			predicting superstorms in the future with winds as high as 300 to 
			400mph.
 
			  
			
			 
			
			Such storms would totally destroy anything they came into contact 
			with on land.
 
 The possibility more storms like Yasi or worse will wreak havoc on 
			our civilization and resources is found in the complicated 
			electromagnetic relationship between the sun and Earth. The 
			synergistic tug-of-war has been compared by some to an intricately 
			constructed cat's cradle. And it's in a constant state of flux.
 
 The sun's dynamic, ever-changing electric magnetosphere interfaces 
			with the Earth's own magnetic field affecting, to a degree, the 
			Earth's rotation, precessional wobble, dynamics of the planet's 
			core, its ocean currents and - above all else - the weather.
 
 
			  
			
			Cracks in Earth's Magnetic Shield
 
 The Earth's northern magnetic pole was moving towards Russia at a 
			rate of about five miles annually. That progression to the East had 
			been happening for decades.
 
 Suddenly, in the past decade the rate sped up. Now the magnetic pole 
			is shifting East at a rate of 40 miles annually, an increase of 800 
			percent. And it continues to accelerate.
 
 Recently, as the magnetic field fluctuates, NASA has discovered 
			"cracks" in it. This is worrisome as it significantly affects the 
			ionosphere, troposphere wind patterns, and atmospheric moisture. All 
			three things have an effect on the weather.
 
 Worse, what shields the planet from cancer-causing radiation is the 
			magnetic field. It acts as a shield deflecting harmful ultra-violet, 
			X-rays and other life-threatening radiation from bathing the surface 
			of the Earth. With the field weakening and cracks emerging, the 
			death rate from cancer could skyrocket and mutations of DNA can 
			become rampant.
 
 Another federal agency, NOAA, issued a report caused a flurry of 
			panic when they predicted that mammoth superstorms in the future 
			could wipe out most of California.
 
			  
			The NOAA scientists said it's a 
			plausible scenario and would be driven by an "atmospheric river" 
			moving water at the same rate as 50 Mississippi rivers flowing into 
			the Gulf of Mexico.
 
			  
			
			Magnetic field may dip, flip and disappear
 
 The Economist wrote a detailed article about the magnetic field and 
			what's happening to it. In the article they noted:
 
				
				
				   
				"There is, however, a growing body of evidence that the Earth's 
			magnetic field is about to disappear, at least for a while. The 
			geological record shows that it flips from time to time, with the 
			south pole becoming the north, and vice versa.    
				On average, such 
			reversals take place every 500,000 years, but there is no 
			discernible pattern. Flips have happened as close together as 50,000 
			years, though the last one was 780,000 years ago.    
				But, as discussed 
			at the Greenland Space Science Symposium, held in Kangerlussuaq this 
			week, the signs are that another flip is coming soon." 
			Discussing the magnetic polar shift and the impact on weather, the 
			scholarly paper "Weather and the Earth's magnetic field" was 
			published in the journal Nature. Scientists too are very concerned 
			about the increasing danger of superstorms and the impact on 
			humanity.
 Superstorms will not only damage agriculture across the planet 
			leading to famines and mass starvation, they will also change 
			coastlines, destroy cities and create tens of millions of homeless.
 
			  
			
			 
			
			Superstorms can also cause certain societies, cultures or whole 
			countries to collapse. Others may go to war with each other.
 
 A Danish study published in the scientific journal Geology, found 
			strong correlation between climate change, weather patterns and the 
			magnetic field.
 
				
				"The earth's climate has been significantly affected by the planet's 
			magnetic field, according to a Danish study published Monday that 
			could challenge the notion that human emissions are responsible for 
			global warming.
 "'Our results show a strong correlation between the strength of the 
			earth's magnetic field and the amount of precipitation in the 
			tropics,' one of the two Danish geophysicists behind the study, Mads 
			Faurschou Knudsen of the geology department at Aarhus University in 
			western Denmark, told the Videnskab journal.
 
 "He and his colleague Peter Riisager, of the 
				Geological Survey of 
			Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), compared a reconstruction of the 
			prehistoric magnetic field 5,000 years ago based on data drawn from 
			stalagmites and stalactites found in China and Oman."
 
			In the scientific paper "Midday magnetopause shifts earthward of 
			geosynchronous orbit during geomagnetic superstorms with Dst = -300 
			nT" the magnetic intensity of solar storms impacting Earth can 
			intensify the effects of the polar shift and also speed up the 
			frequency of the emerging superstorms.
 
			
			
 Pole reversal may also be initiating new Ice Age
 
 According to some geologists and scientists, we have left the last 
			interglacial period behind us. Those periods are lengths of 
			time - about 11,500 years - between major Ice Ages.
 
 One of the most stunning signs of the approaching Ice Age is what's 
			happened to the world's precessional wobble.
 
 
			  
			
			The Earth's wobble has stopped
 
 As explained in a geology and space science 
			
			website,
 
				  
				10 February 2006The Chandler wobble was 
				first discovered back in 1891 by Seth Carlo Chandler an 
				American astronomer.
   
				The effect causes the Earth's poles 
				to move in an irregular circle of 3 to 15 meters in diameter in 
				an oscillation. The Earth's Wobble has a 7 year cycle which 
				produces two extremes, a small spiraling wobble circle and a 
				large spiraling wobble circle, about 3.5 years apart. 
				   
				The Earth was in October 2005 moving 
				into the small spiraling circle (the MIN phase of the wobble), 
				which should have slowly unfolded during 2006 and the first few 
				months of 2007. (Each spiraling circle takes about 14 months).
				   
				But suddenly at the beginning of 
				November 2005, the track of the location of the spin axis veered 
				at a very sharp right angle to its circling motion.
 The track of the spin axis began to slow down and by about 
				January 8, 2006, it ceased nearly all relative motion on the 
				'x' and 'y' coordinates which are used to define the daily 
				changing location of the spin axis.
 
				One interesting implication is the likely increase in tectonic 
				activity which may follow during the next 20 years or so. The 
				last major anomaly in the MIN phase of the X WAVE was during 
				1936, which induced a major phase shift and sharp change in 
				direction of the drift of the pole.
   
				Following that anomaly, the 
				frequency of 7.0 plus quakes nearly doubled from some 18 per 
				year to over 30 per year.    
				The year following the anomaly saw 
				many major increases in volcanism. We are likely headed towards 
				a similar 20 year season of increase in tectonic activity, 
				beginning with a major increase in volcanism during 2006-08 and 
				the occurrence of more 7.0 plus quakes, even as many three per 
				month for many years afterwards.    
				This activity, combined with the 
				effects of
				
				Global Warming on the creation 
				of Super Storms, are likely to keep the news channels quite 
				busy.
 This anomaly will be of significant interest to fans of 
				
				Edgar Cayce, the famed 
				sleeping prophet. He predicted during the mid 1930's that a new 
				cycle of the shifting of the poles would begin in 2000/2001 and 
				thereafter an increase in the "upheavals" in the Earth.
   
				Since this anomaly has appeared in a 
				"cycle" of Chandler's Wobble which began in 2000, just after the 
				completion of the MIN PHASE in 1999, we are now seeing Cayce's 
				prediction fulfilled with remarkable fidelity.
