Did Jesus Predict the Great Earthquakes of Our Age & A Culminating Pole Shift?

19 Jan

01.18.2010 By Chase Hunter, with supporting quotations from an anonymous Christian writer on the web.

Another site author writes:

“If earthquakes are not on the increase, then what shall we make of the biblical evidence that earthquakes will increase in the last days? As noted above, Hal Lindsey says that earthquakes will continue to increase “just as the Bible predicts for the last days.”50 If earthquakes are not increasing, does this mean that the return of Christ cannot be near? Closer examination of the New Testament evidence will reveal that Lindsey’s statement is wrong on both counts. Not only are earthquakes not increasing, but also the biblical text never indicated that they would. The popular conception that an increase of earthquakes in frequency and severity is a key sign of the temporal nearness of the end results from a misreading of the biblical text.

Earthquakes in Biblical Literature. Earthquakes and other cataclysmic events often carry theophanic significance in Scripture, demonstrating God’s awesome power. At Mount Sinai the LORD’s presence was indicated by smoke and the shaking of the mountain (Exod. 19:18; cf. 1 Kings 19:1151 ; Ps. 68:8; Job 9:6; Hab. 3:6).
When the New Testament church prayed “the place where they had gathered together was shaken” and the Spirit’s presence was manifested (Acts 4:31). Paul and Silas were freed when God’s power and presence was manifested in an earthquake (Acts 16:26). The most unusual earthquakes were associated with the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. When Christ died on the cross, an earthquake shook the temple and rent the curtain of the temple from top to bottom (Matt. 27:51). No human agency rolled away the stone that sealed Christ’s tomb; it was the angel in the presence of the earthquake (Matt. 28:2).

More specifically, many seismic theophanies are manifestations of God’s anger and righteous judgment (cf. 1 Sam. 14:15; Ps. 18:7,8; Isa. 5:25; 13:13; 29:6; Joel 3:16; Amos 1:1,2; 8:7,8; Mic. 1:3-7; Nah. 1:5,6; Hag. 2:6, 21). The Day of the LORD is the most elaborate judgment motif of Scripture. That day is without fail marked by earthquakes and associated celestial disturbances (Isa. 2:19, 21; 13:13; 24:18; 29:5-6; Ezek. 38:19-22; Joel 2:10; Zech. 14:4, 5). For example, Isaiah’s description of the destruction of Babylon has cosmic overtones:

Therefore I shall make the heavens tremble,
. . . And the earth will be shaken from its place
At the fury of the LORD of hosts
. . . In the day of His burning anger.

( Isaiah. 13:13 ).

Yet during the awesome shakedown of heaven and earth, “The LORD will have compassion on Jacob” (Isa. 14:1), and all creation will recognize God’s working (Isa. 14:3-8). When Israel is attacked by the armies of Gog, those armies are demolished at the decree of the LORD by earthquake and cosmic hailstones (Ezek. 38:17-23). Zechariah is even more explicit about the extraordinary geologic upheaval in the Holy Land associated with the Day of the LORD. A final earthquake at the LORD’s return will split the Mount of Olives, uplift Jerusalem on its site, and depress the surrounding Judean Mountains (Zech. 14:1-10).”

What may come to this world with the theoretical arrival of Planet X Nibiru and any subsequent geologic pole shift would transcend our present comprehension of most all of the world’s religious texts which have been accepted as DIVINE REVELATIONS. It is my belief that such an event would be a possible precursor to the eventual actual Second Coming of Christ. This real and actual second coming is not to be confusd with the present day apostasy of Maitreya and his false claims of being the Christ returned. Only a Divine Super Being, an authoritative Divine Overseer and Spiritual Universe King, such as the Christ, (not the many false Christs who will precede him) ,also known as The Creator Son, could set straight the affairs of a planet so utterly devastated by Apostasy, laid to ruin by war, shattered by earthquake and pole shift, and seared by the lack of faith left for those who had survived such catastrophes.

How it came to be that so much of the science, geology and astronomy pertaining to a possible Geological POLE SHIFT in our generation was included in the Christian Bible’s Book of Revelations, is one of God’s most profound mysteries, and must be relegated to absolute DIVINE PROVIDENCE and the Hand of God Himself. Theologians well know that the present day version of Bible scripture was altered and edited more than 22 times since the Ascension of Christ and the times shortly thereafter when the first scriptures about His life and teachings were written. Any religious text which includes prophecy that foretells of such a catastrophic and species altering event must be looked at with a certain degree of reverence and respect. If the religious text(s) that you study under your present spiritual belief system include any reference to this event, then consider that somewhere along the line, AUTHORITATIVE SUPERVISING DIVINE HEAVENLY FORCES made sure that the information was kept in the scriptural text so that people of our day and generation could find it, read, comprehend and try our best as a species to act on it. The hidden Hand of God has been at work all along, apparently, as 2000 years of tinkering with Christian scripture by religious and political demagogues has failed to omit the telltale passages in the Bible that clearly warn of these events to come. It’s worth pondering, even for the hardened agnostic or the outright nonbeliever.If this prophecy is true, regarding a pole shift on or around 2012-2017 then there is certainly no time left for various groups and individuals to argue back and forth about whose science, geology, prophecy or astronomy found Nibiru first, who gets the credit, whose name might appear in the New York Times or Washington Post, or other such spiritually immature childishness. The populations of the world would need to move quickly and invisibly to work around their corrupt controlling NWO backed governments to make provisions for personal and collective survival and the rebuilding and repopulating of the world. This pole shift event has been prophesied repeatedly in ancient times and modern times, by diverse indigenous cultures around the world.


earthquake destruction

“I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place” (vv. 12–14).

From Zephaniah: The great day of the Lord is near; it is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter; there the mighty men shall cry out. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high towers. (Zephaniah 1:14-16)


Joel 2:10-11: The sun and moon grow dark, and stars diminish their brightness . . . for the day of the
Lord is great and terrible; who can endure it?


native american warriorThese passages of scripture above quoted above from the Christian Holy Bible are describing what will occur geologically and scientifically during a complete pole shift, as will occur with the imminent return of Nibiru, or Planet X between 2012 and 2017.
The pole shift will be preceded by a worldwide earthquake of staggering magnitude, possibly a 9.0 or even 10.0+ on the Richter scale. Looking skyward during the pole shift itself, it will appear that the stars are “falling from heaven” as the planet careens wildly out of it’s former fixed rotation and re-aligns itself and it’s poles due to the gravitational pull of brown dwarf star Nibiru as it makes it’s closest pass to the earth. If you already know, and have known, about this event, then God bless and keep you as you:

“Work While You Have the Light.”

I will add that those in government, military and scientific circles, who have known of this event for years or even decades, who have refused to share this knowledge with the innocent populations of the world, will bear the full brunt of KARMA and God’s Wrath once the Divine Hammer comes down in the not too distant future and God’s Heavenly Justice System finally swings into session for the final reckoning of all events from this last dispensation of 500,000 years in our sector of the local universe neighborhood.

The Woman Who Intimidated the Antichrist

The Woman Who Intimidated the Antichrist: Kathleen Keating on Coast to Coast Am Radio, Interviewed By Art Bell on March 5th 2001

This historic radio interview is segmented into 12 parts. The playlist should play all 12 in sequence. Set aside a quiet time, with a couple of hours to yourself, without kids, elders or teens around, during the day, on a sunny day, and have your Bible close at hand while you listen. I am NOT promulgating fear or hate. I am supporting and re-posting access to a historic radio interview with Art Bell of one of the bravest Christian journalists and authors I have ever met, Mrs. Kathleen Keating.  Kathleen had been an associate, friend and professional peer to Father Malachi Martin. She also, ten years ago,  had something VERY important to say to America and the world, just a few months before the Illuminati elite became quite frantic.

They were frantic due to the publication of Kathleen’s famous second book: “Final Warning”, and they were frantic due to the public pressure being applied by Dr. Stephen Greer and his DISCLOSURE UFO research and historic press conference.

So what happened after this heart stopping radio interview? Maitreya crept  away again to hide, and in America, we got 9-11. Think it all over. There are HUGE dots to connect here folks, huge dots.

It’s time for the world to know what’s made a nest in London just a few blocks down the street from one the main Masonic Temples in town. It’s time for America’s Great Spiritual Awakening to move to the next level, which is for the Calls for Divine Intervention to begin being made in prayer, and I mean getting down on one’s hands and knees and praying for this nation and the world like you have never prayed in your life.

It’s time for America turn aside from the false apostasy of Maitreya’s global advertising “sell job”, and to embrace her REAL destiny as God’s Spiritual Warriors who will stand against this coming apostasy with everything they’ve got spiritually: In the Name and for the sake of the REAL King of Kings who IS and will forever be our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Call to HIm for instructions after you listen to this interview.

Popular Chase Hunter Links for Spiritual Truth Seekers

11 Jan

Note from Chase Hunter: Alot of people show up at one of my blogs and they are just looking for quick spiritual information and insights. It is getting really confusing out there in the world of deceptive religiosity and absolute hatred being sold as religion. Just always keep in mind, a truly religious person, or a truthful and Holy Spirit inspired and nurtured, Christ centered religious practice which is founded on God’s laws will not have hatred of anyone or anything associated with it. That is a sad fact that pretty much knocks most modern day “religions” out of contention, doesn’t it?

Remember: Jesus told us to “Love one another.” That’s the Divine standard. Those three words practiced with devotion could change the world.

Anything falling  away from that is a falling away lie, a falsehood, and is not of God, no matter how they package and sell it. God is LOVE. Period.

I am still building and linking all blogs, so these links below should be helpful.

Journey to the Edge of the Universe

Judy Collins Is Right: “The Rising of the Women Is the Rising of the Race”

Until acts of animalistic barbarism like the one described in the www.salon.com article below become a thing of the past, the world we live in is doomed to remain in servitude to the violence erupting within it’s own species toward the sacred beings who bear it’s children.

Any man who would do this to his spouse for simply wanting to further her education is not a man; in fact he is not even rising to the dignity of a wild animal. Even animals living in the wild with their chosen mates to not act out this kind of insane senseless violence onto them. This so called man should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Perhaps he should pay by losing his face as well. “Losing face” now portends a much darker meaning, having read this piece. How utterly sickening that in our day and age, with machines now trolling the surface of mars for photos and scientific evidence, that so called men back on earth still splash acid in the faces of spouses who desire an education. How far we all have to go, as a species, for this kind of deranged violence against women to end. How disheartening.

This article ia a gut wrenching example of why radical Islam must never be allowed to take root in the civilized west. it does not matter if the wealthier upper crust of the Islamic world can now build cities reaching to the sky; it does not matter if they pump ten quadrillion barrels of oil per day to sell to the west. If even just a few radical Islamic men are still acting out such acts of evil barbarity on their own spouses, there remains NO CIVILIZED LIFE emerging  from radical Islamic countries. If it has been done to her, then spiritually speaking, then it has been done to the entire species.

This violence against women must end. All acts of reckless violence and life killing savagery against women must end, and it must end now.

I have never been made so sick in my life as I was to have to read this essay. But if we do not speak out, and speak out strongly, against vicious acts of hatred like this, the world will never ascend out of it’s genetically regressive tendencies to desecrate the very beings who give and nurture life and allow for the world to have a population at all.

When you attack any woman with hatred and violence, you are doing no less than attacking yourself, your own future, and the very future of the species itself.

New laws must be created bringing forth the harshest penalties possible against those who believe that their own spouse is so worthless that she deserves to be splashed inthe face with acid for desiring, and rightly so, to educate herself and expand her knowledge. God (Allah) bestowed intelligence upon humankind because the fundamental human urge to know more is a gift from God. Without that urge, your spouse would still be foraging for herbs and small game and feeding it all to you raw.The urge to learn, to know more, is the fundamental driving force that civilizes and inspires the species to move forward into unknown intellectual territory. I can assure the reader that the woman who endured this is a much more civilized being than the evil animal male that did this to her. In God’s grand universe, eventually final  justice will be done. I can assure you that.

This was an act of pure evil. The man who perpetrated it needs to pay. The criminal justice systems in these countries will be held spiritually accountable if they allow this man to walk free, while his wife lies in a bed with her face burned off for wanting to read a book.

Where Have All the Women Gone?A manifesto against gender apartheid.

By Johann HariUpdated Monday, Sept. 14, 2009, at 7:16 AM ET

Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.As soon as I started reading this cry against the global wasting of women’s lives, I could smell Shahnaz‘s face—what was left of it—again. By the time I met her in a hospital in Bangladesh, Shahnaz’s face flesh was a mess of charred meat: Her skin, the soft tissue of her cheeks, and the bones beneath had been burned away. Her nose was gone, replaced by two flared holes. Her lips hung down over her chin like melted wax. Her left eyelid couldn’t close, so a trail of tears was forever slowly tracking down over the wounds. Shahnaz was 21 years old, and her husband had just thrown acid in her face.

Her “crime”? To insist on continuing her studies—she loved science and poetry—when her husband wanted her to have babies. She smelled of a day-old barbecue left out in the rain.

In much of the world today, it is Shahnaz, not her husband, who would be judged to be in the wrong. For them, a woman is there to be a servile baby machine, and if she refuses, she can be beaten, raped, or burned with impunity. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof and his Chinese-American wife, Sheryl WuDunn, have written an impassioned exposé of this subjugation—and a roadmap to equality.

They start with an extraordinary fact that shows how deep this abuse runs. Today, now, more than 100 million women are missing. They have vanished. In normal circumstances, women live longer than men—but China has 107 males for every 100 females in its overall population, India has 108, and Pakistan has 111. Where have these women gone? They have been killed or allowed to die. Medical treatment is often reserved for boys, while violence against women is routine. More girls are killed in this “gendercide” each decade than in all the genocides of the 20th century. This year, another 2 million girls will “disappear.”

But this isn’t considered a story. While we rightly roared at racial apartheid, we act as though gender apartheid is a natural, immutable fact. With absolutely the right Molotov cocktail of on-the-ground reporting and hard social science, Kristof and WuDunn blow up this taboo. They ask: What would we do if we believed women were equal human beings, with as much right to determine their life story as men? How would we view the world differently?

We would start by supporting the millions of women who are fighting back. This isn’t merely a story of victims; it is predominantly a story of heroines. Mukhtar Mai is a 37-year-old woman who was born to a peasant family in southern Punjab, Pakistan. She was never sent to school because there were no schools for girls in her area: Why would girls need to read? In July 2002, her younger brother was kidnapped and gang raped by a higher-status clan. In order to cover up the crime, the gang accused him of having raped one of “their” girls. A tribal council heard the case and found him guilty—and ruled that, as punishment, his sister Mukhtar should be gang raped.

After she was dragged into a barn and raped by four men in turn, Mukhtar was supposed to kill herself to remove the “shame” from her family. As she explains: “They know that a woman humiliated in that way has no other recourse but suicide. They don’t even need to use their weapons. Rape kills her.”

But Mukhtar did something a woman wasn’t supposed to do: She went to the police and demanded justice. Unusually, the police arrested the attackers. Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf heard about the case and sent $8,300 in compensation. She used it to build a school for girls, saying it was the only way to start eroding the attitudes that led to her rape. But once she started speaking out—saying rape was a systemic problem in rural Pakistan—Musharraf declared that she was “embarrassing” Pakistan and had the secret services order her to shut up. She refused—so she was placed under house arrest and then kidnapped by Musharraf’s goons.

Even then, Mukhtar wouldn’t give up. She got word out to her supporters—and they ensured that she was released. Her campaign is working. As Kristof and WuDunn explain, “Rape is no longer a penalty-free sport, and so it seems to have declined considerably in the Punjab.” Thanks to her, thousands of girls are in school, and tens of thousands now will not be raped.

It’s a humbling story in a book full of humbling stories. An illiterate woman from a middle-of-nowhere village stood up to her country’s president and security services, in the name of the most basic human value of all, equality—and she won. It forces you to ask: What have I done, with almost none of the odds stacked against me that Mukhtar had?

Perhaps that sounds depressing. But on the contrary, Kristof and WuDunn’s book is empowering for the reader. It shows that, while there is a mountain of misogyny to be climbed, it is being ascended, woman by woman, day by day. The authors are constantly pointing readers toward practical things they can do, from giving to the best charities to volunteering for Mukhtar’s schools in Pakistan.

They take the reader on a grand tour of all the issues that are ignored because women are ignored. For example—who has heard of fistula? It is today’s leprosy, causing 2 million women to live and die as despised outcasts—yet it is virtually unknown. When a woman has a long, obstructed labor with no doctors to help her deliver, the blood supply to her vagina, bladder, and rectum can be cut off. The tissues die, and a hole is ripped in her flesh. From that hole, shit and piss will leak for the rest of her life in one long incontinent streak. Because she stinks, she is rejected by her husband and her community, and forced to live scavenging on the streets.

In every African town, you see fistula-stricken women, wandering aimlessly, their heads down in shame. They are the saddest people I have ever met. But this problem is cruelly easy to treat. For $300, a fistula can be repaired in 90 percent of cases. Fistula can be beaten, if only we value women enough to do it. There used to be a fistula hospital in Manhattan. Today, it is the Waldorf-Astoria.

Or how about the enslavement of women in brothels, which is now far larger than the trans-Atlantic slave trade at its height? Some 3.5 million women are being jailed, drugged, and raped for cash today. This brutalization of women doesn’t have to happen any more than the enslavement of Africans did in the 18th century. As the authors write: “The tools to crush modern slavery exist, but the political will is lacking. That must be the starting point of any abolitionist movement.” International pressure—set in motion by the acts of ordinary citizens—works.

In a book that comes close to being a masterpiece of modern journalism, it’s sad—and a little squalid—that Kristof has allowed a discredited cause from his columns to crawl into its pages. He has long defended sweatshops, where by definition women are forced to work near-impossible hours for a pittance. He does so again here, writing: “Sweatshops have given women a boost. … Women and girls still stream to such factories because they’re preferable to hoeing fields all day back in a village. … Instead of denouncing sweatshops, we in the West should be encouraging manufacturing in poor countries.”

But Kristof surely knows that it is a false choice between having poor women hoeing the fields and having them working in dangerous conditions in factories. There is a third—and better—way. Anti-sweatshop campaigners—who he has explicitly chided—want all factories, everywhere, to adhere to certain minimum standards: No use of beatings, a maximum working day, safety precautions. Then they won’t be sweatshops; they’ll just be factories.

Whenever he is confronted with this argument, Kristof says that any country that imposes basic human conditions on sweatshops loses its trade to a country that won’t and women suffer. But this ignores an obvious truth: Anti-sweatshop campaigners want to see these rules imposed everywhere. There should be no escape clauses and no places where multinational corporations can go to cheaply abuse women for a few extra pennies of profit. Given his genuine disgust at the abuse of women elsewhere, it’s bewildering that he endorses it in this form—and as a species of feminism, too!

There is another, more subtle flaw with this book. The Kristof journalistic template is plain: He finds individual heroines in countries ignored by the United States who personify both the problem and the fight-back against it. He then tries to marshal U.S. public opinion and, in turn, U.S. governmental power behind it. It’s effective—but he uses it only when the victims are marginal to the bigger goals of American power. The U.S. government has no interest in maintaining the sex trade, or fistula, so it is relatively straightforward to enlist its support in eradication efforts.

But when it comes to crimes of commission by the United States, rather than of omission, this formula falters. One of the worst places in the world to be a woman is Saudi Arabia, where you can be imprisoned for trying to drive a car and lashed for being raped. Perhaps the very worst is Afghanistan, where—outside the Potemkin village of Kabul—women are almost invariably imprisoned in their homes and used as property-cattle in private fiefdoms run by warlords.

Yet woman-lashing Saudi Arabia is the closest U.S. ally in the region (along with Israel), and woman-crushing Afghanistan is actually occupied by the United States. The rights of women are being casually sold out in exchange for oil, military expediency, and hard geopolitics. U.S. citizens have the most responsibility for this, because it’s your government doing it—but Kristof and WuDunn choose not to focus on these places, skimming over them briskly. The closest they get to condemning a U.S. ally is the fragile regime of Musharraf, who was already widely criticized within elite U.S. circles and has subsequently been junked for a more pliable puppet. To assume the U.S. government could easily become a nuclear-armed Amnesty International if only its citizens would ask it more assertively is dangerously naive. It overlooks the massive structural changes that need to happen at home—like kicking America’s oil addiction—before the United States can consistently support women’s rights everywhere.

Even with these stains, Half the Sky—named after the Chinese proverb: “Women hold up half the sky”—remains a thrilling manifesto for advancing freedom for hundreds of millions of human beings. Yet many people who should be buying this book and supporting the women it describes are inhibited by the fear that it would be “cultural imperialism.” Isn’t it their culture to treat women differently? Who are we to judge?

This is historically illiterate. Cultures can change. It was the “culture” of Massachusetts to burn witches once; it was the “culture” of Alabama to enslave black people. A century ago, China was the worst place in the world to be a woman. Your feet would be bound into gnarled, bloody stumps. Often, you weren’t even given a name, just called “Daughter No. 4.” For all its flaws, China has left these bloody bandages far behind it. “If culture were immutable,” the authors say bluntly, “Sheryl would be stumbling along on three inch feet.”

This argument collapses even further into The Chasm of Lousy Excuses for Inaction when you speak to the women themselves. It wasn’t Shahnaz’s culture to have her face burned off or Mukhtar’s to be gang raped. No—it was the culture of their oppressors. Slaves do not love their chains; women do not love to be subordinated. There is a conflict within these cultures—and we must now pick a side or sit out the great civil rights battle of our time.

Original “Call Global to Awakening” By Chase Kyla Hunter Posted 3.2008

24 Aug
Hand with planned insertion point for Verichip...

Image via Wikipedia

I penned this essay below in March of 2008 after realizing beyond all shadow of a doubt that Barack Obama was not just a hand selected Bilderberg anointed new world order  Manchurian candidate. He was possibly not even a legal American citizen.

Since I wrote this document the skeptics and cynics who told me this was all conspiracy theory and speculation have fallen oddly silent as hundreds of thousands of other Americans began publishing what they knew and understood. It turns out that millions of us had been quietly doing our “due diligence” since our mainstream media now completely belongs to the global NWO elite, and does not represent the American people, but advocates for the New World Order globalist agenda 24-7.

Also in 2008 the USA economy was given a very public controlled demolition, not unlike building seven on 9-11. RFID chips are being put into US soldiers, in the UK all handguns have now been confiscated, surveillance cameras watch their every move in Great Britain, while foolish American teens watch TV shows like “Big Brother” – not even realizing that an entire adult population (the ipod generation) is now being psychologically groomed to have their every move monitored by surveillance 24-7 for the rest of their lives.

Some brave soul managed to get high resolution video out of the USA D.U.M.B. secret underground tunnel system and posted the video to an astonished youtube audience, who in turn grabbed it and posted it around the world. The silence from the nay-sayers grew as what we now began to hear instead was the steady stream of nonsense which spewed from paid NWO disinformation agents, trying in vain to stand against the avalanche of cold hard facts being published online by people like me. Futuristic dark illuminati theme cities are being built, complete with all the occult trappings that glorify their sun worship, which is the ancient worship of Annunaki / Nephilim / Molech / Marduk and finally: Lucifer. Apparently these fiends in the flesh are quite confident.

They have not counted on a Divine Intervention, but a Divine Intervention is exactly what they are about to get. It might look like they have it their way for a very short season, but the faithful in the secret and hidden global Body of Christ know the end from the beginning and they know EXACTLY how this story ends. You all know who you are.

And the Godless know who they are. Let the days pass. Let the wheels begin to turn. Let the Light of God dissolve the evil madness of a few hundred men and women who believe they own the world. The Light of God Never Fails. – CKH

Understanding Why a Historically Re-occurring Scientific Astronomical Event May Bring About A Pole Shift of the Earth and the Seven Last Plagues as Recorded in the Christian Holy Bible’s Book of Revelations

Prelude: [ Authored by CKH, a pen name, for privacy and personal safety ]

I postulate in this Wiki that there is a direct relationship between escalating earth changes, the secret FEMA detention camps that are presently being constructed in many USA states, the global scientific community’s & Vatican’s present cover-up of the scientific actuality (world governments have installed a secret astronomical observatory station to track Nibiru in Antarctica – paid for with taxpayer dollars ) of an extra-solar system planet named Nibiru (brown dwarf collapsing star) and it’s approach toward the earth to arrive at it’s closest point in December 2012 through February 2013, (dates for the end of the Mayan calendar), the sudden rise of Barack Obama to ascend to the White House with little or no governing experience, the rapid covert legislation to create a North American Union to replace the present US Constitution, the rapid approach of a politically super-correct Godless One World UN government, the mystery of CROP CIRCLES and their messages of warning to humankind, RFID chips, martial law, global surveillance, and the UN’s long standing Luciferian Illuminati world dream of reducing the population of the earth to a more “manageable” (controllable) approximately one half billion people. After you read this site and study the supporting links and documents you may find it easier to connect the dots between these many apparently unrelated issues.

Before you read on, it’s important understand that the approach of Nibiru / Planet X is neither hoax or mere speculation, as government disinformation experts would have you believe. So please visit some of these links and watch some videos being produced and distributed by other independent researchers from all around the world, who are frantically trying to publish the truth and share what they know with others. Every human being who is alive upon this earth deserves to know the truth about this long prophesied event, so that they may make their own personal spiritual decisions, along with any survival preparations for themselves and their loved ones.

For more details on the hard science supporting the
approach of Planet X / Nibiru see http://yowusa.com
and http://yowusa.info

There is also a direct relationship between the fact that every major news outlet in the west is now owned and operated by some multinational corporation that has direct ties to the UN, the pro-Obama western press, and the ongoing suppression and ridicule of all persons who are figuring everything out and trying to share what they are learning with others.
There is also a relationship between the ongoing public ridicule of truth tellers and the mass media’s determination to ignore or discredit the research of brilliant credible dedicated investigators like Dr. Steven Greer and his recent Disclosure Project press conference of 2001, Linda Moulton Howe and her Earthfiles Reports, and others.


Scientists and astronomers first began reporting of a new planetary body that was being observed by telescopes and space satellites at the outer edges of our solar system in the 1980s, specifically 1983. Had the governments of the world been attentive to what was being discovered back then, and proper preparations made, we would most likely not be in the dire circumstances that we are in today. If you are alive upon the earth, where-ever you are, and if you want to live past 2012 in your present physical body and physically survive what is to come – then you need to read on.

This information is for every living human being who is alive upon the earth. Everyone else who believes in some sort of Higher Power, a Deity, God, All that Is, The Creator, Allah, The Great Mother, Mother / Father God, the Goddess, or whatever you choose to name your present comprehension of a Universal Divine Creator, this Wiki page is being written for you. The leading governments of the world, their military, the UN, and the VATICAN know about and are presently tracking an ENORMOUS scientific cosmic astronomical event, which is shortly to occur, that will most definitely induce a partial or complete POLE SHIFT of the Earth. NASA has known about this event since at least the early 1980s.

It was decided among the world governments and the UN – NOT TO TELL their civilian populations, as they feared mass panic and hysteria, and overthrow of these governments. The global G8 Group and the UN are the guiltiest of all. The collective soul of certain nations’ populations subconsciously know that MANY GREAT AND SECRET TRUTHS ARE BEING KEPT FROM THEM, and many populations are now revolting against their [ corrupt ] governments anyway. These governments have used taxpayer dollars to construct elaborate facilities for their own survival, with the clear intention of leaving their innocent and uninformed populations to fend for themselves when this event takes place. Various links on this Wiki site will reveal where some of those government world Elite survival hide-outs are located.

What we will be seeing take place in the next 15 years upon this world is the apparently unintentional, yet Divinely directed convergence of Bible prophecy, new age prophecy, Native American prophecy, science, astronomy, geology, archaeology, anthropology, the predictions of famous psychics, visionaries, seers, the re-emergence of indigenous cultures’ ancient teaching stories, along with newly revealed Bible Codes.

The actual imminent return of Planet Nibiru or (Planet X) is the approaching cataclysmic astronomical cosmic event which world governments are hiding from their populations. It is the REAL reason for global warming, not CO2 emissions.

Spiritual seers, prophets, visionaries, shamans ( like myself – I am a clairvoyant, a Christian Mystic and Cherokee Shaman ), scientists, government personnel, traditional religious leaders, Bible scholars, philosophers, new age leaders, military leaders, Native American prophets, astronomers (and even atheists) are now experiencing a phenomenon which no one would ever dream could happen on this war scarred, evil infested, corrupt yet beautiful world: They are all coming to the same conclusions, from wildly different educational backgrounds, philosophies, religions, and theological points of view.

This phenomenon is an activity of the SPIRIT OF TRUTH or “Holy Spirit” at work. It transcends personal religious beliefs, or the lack thereof.

Returning Planet X also known as Nibiru will induce an astronomical event called a pole shift in our lifetime.

This astronomical event has occurred before and takes place approximately every 3,600 years, when the returning orbit of Nibiru comes closest to Earth’s orbit. The approach of Nibiru is well known to the hidden world governing elite, their puppets in office, US and overseas scientists & astronomers stationed in secret on the south pole (where the returning brown dwarf sun Nibiru and 5 of its moons are already visible and many photos and videos have been taken), to NASA, to all branches of the USA military and other nations’ military., and to the Vatican, who have several astronomical observatories stationed around the world watching. (If you are just now learning that 90% of the governments of the world are utterly corrupt then one would have to wonder what planet you were living on all this time.)

The decision has been made to maintain a worldwide mass media blackout on this great cosmic event, as it is expected that up to 1/3rd of the world population may possibly perish during the pole shift, which will be induced due to severe solar activity and the gravitational pull of Nibiru upon the Earth as Nibiru passes closest to earth between DECEMBER 21ST 2012 and February 14th 2013. This is the same date on the Mayan Calendar which indicates the biblical phrase: End of the World as we know it. There is no coincidence here. Many of the scientific astronomical phenomena that will occur right before, during and after the Pole Shift ARE RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS. That also is no coincidence, but was DIVINELY PLANNED ages ago by the Creator.

I’d like to digress to say that I am not authoring this Wiki site in order to try to “save” someone’s soul via the orthodox Christian faith. At this late date, you have either found your truth and your own personal spiritual path or you are sitting in front of a TV, a video game, a casino game, at a bar, at a sports event, s strip club, worshiping NASCAR, or you are just lost and really don’t know where to turn. I might add that every religion upon the earth has been tampered with or else is theologically, intrinsically FLAWED, and not one of the world religions is actually capable of telling the people the complete truth, for they don’t know it themselves.

The Christian prophecies in the Holy Bible come the closest to full disclosure of catastrophic world events in this author’s opinion at this time. (Fall 2008) I’m quite aware of how unpopular such a statement may be, albeit – I am telling you the truth. The Presence of God’s Light within you will teach you to find the truth in time to know what to do between now and 2012. Get out of big loud noisy gang infested cities and go into nature, into the deep wilderness, to listen for God’s inner instructions to you. I am instructing you specifically to do this if you want to become personally tutored by the Holy Spirit and thus “God taught from Within” about how to prepare and what you should do to make changes in your life in time to survive what 2012-2019 may bring.

THE BIBLICAL EVIDENCE: DID JESUS PREDICT AN INCREASE IN EARTHQUAKE BEFORE THE END?

Another site author writes:
If earthquakes are not on the increase, then what shall we make of the biblical evidence that earthquakes will increase in the last days? As noted above, Hal Lindsey says that earthquakes will continue to increase “just as the Bible predicts for the last days.”50 If earthquakes are not increasing, does this mean that the return of Christ cannot be near? Closer examination of the New Testament evidence will reveal that Lindsey’s statement is wrong on both counts. Not only are earthquakes not increasing, but also the biblical text never indicated that they would. The popular conception that an increase of earthquakes in frequency and severity is a key sign of the temporal nearness of the end results from a misreading of the biblical text.

Earthquakes in Biblical Literature. Earthquakes and other cataclysmic events often carry theophanic significance in Scripture, demonstrating God’s awesome power. At Mount Sinai the LORD’s presence was indicated by smoke and the shaking of the mountain (Exod. 19:18; cf. 1 Kings 19:1151 ; Ps. 68:8; Job 9:6; Hab. 3:6).

When the New Testament church prayed “the place where they had gathered together was shaken” and the Spirit’s presence was manifested (Acts 4:31). Paul and Silas were freed when God’s power and presence was manifested in an earthquake (Acts 16:26). The most unusual earthquakes were associated with the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. When Christ died on the cross, an earthquake shook the temple and rent the curtain of the temple from top to bottom (Matt. 27:51). No human agency rolled away the stone that sealed Christ’s tomb; it was the angel in the presence of the earthquake (Matt. 28:2).

More specifically, many seismic theophanies are manifestations of God’s anger and righteous judgment (cf. 1 Sam. 14:15; Ps. 18:7,8; Isa. 5:25; 13:13; 29:6; Joel 3:16; Amos 1:1,2; 8:7,8; Mic. 1:3-7; Nah. 1:5,6; Hag. 2:6, 21). The Day of the LORD is the most elaborate judgment motif of Scripture. That day is without fail marked by earthquakes and associated celestial disturbances (Isa. 2:19, 21; 13:13; 24:18; 29:5-6; Ezek. 38:19-22; Joel 2:10; Zech. 14:4, 5). For example, Isaiah’s description of the destruction of Babylon has cosmic overtones:

Therefore I shall make the heavens tremble,
. . . And the earth will be shaken from its place
At the fury of the LORD of hosts
. . . In the day of His burning anger. (Isa. 13:13).

Yet during the awesome shakedown of heaven and earth, “The LORD will have compassion on Jacob” (Isa. 14:1), and all creation will recognize God’s working (Isa. 14:3-8). When Israel is attacked by the armies of Gog, those armies are demolished at the decree of the LORD by earthquake and cosmic hailstones (Ezek. 38:17-23). Zechariah is even more explicit about the extraordinary geologic upheaval in the Holy Land associated with the Day of the LORD. A final earthquake at the LORD’s return will split the Mount of Olives, uplift Jerusalem on its site, and depress the surrounding Judean Mountains (Zech. 14:1-10).

What is coming, transcends most all religious texts which have been accepted as DIVINE REVELATIONS.

How it came to be that so much of the science, geology and astronomy pertaining to the coming POLE SHIFT was included in the Christian Bible’s Book of Revelations, is one of God’s most profound mysteries, and must be relegated to DIVINE PROVIDENCE and the Hand of God Himself. Theologians well know that the present day version of Bible scripture was altered and edited more than 22 times since the Ascension of Christ and the times shortly thereafter when the first scriptures about His life and teachings were written.

Any religious text which includes prophecy that foretells of this catastrophic and species altering event must be looked at with a certain degree of reverence and respect. If the religious text(s) that you study include any reference to this event, then consider that somewhere along the line, AUTHORITATIVE SUPERVISING DIVINE HEAVENLY FORCES made sure that the information was kept in the scriptural text so that people of our day and generation could find it, read, comprehend and act on it. The hidden Hand of God has been at work all along, apparently, as 2000 years of tinkering with Christian scripture failed to omit the passages in the Bible that clearly warn of these events to come. It’s worth pondering, even for the hardened agnostic.

There is no time left for groups to argue back and forth about whose science or astronomy found Nibiru first, who gets the credit, whose name might appear in the Washington Post, or other such spiritually immature childishness. The populations of the world must move quickly and invisibly to work around their corrupt controlling governments to make provisions for survival and the rebuilding and repopulating of the world. This pole shift event has been prophesied repeatedly in ancient times and modern times.

“I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its
late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every
mountain and island was moved out of its place” (vv. 12–14).

From Zephaniah: The great day of the Lord is near; it is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter; there the mighty men shall cry out. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high towers. (Zephaniah 1:14-16)

Joel 2:10-11: The sun and moon grow dark, and stars diminish their brightness . . . for the day of the Lord is great and terrible; who can endure it?

These passages of scripture quoted above from the Christian Holy Bible are describing what will occur geologically and scientifically during a complete pole shift, as will occur with the imminent return of Nibiru, or Planet X between 2012 and 2019.
The pole shift will be preceded by a worldwide earthquake of staggering magnitude, possibly a 9.0 or even 10.0+ on the Richter scale. Looking skyward during the pole shift itself, it will appear that the stars are “falling from heaven” as the planet careens wildly out of it’s former fixed rotation and re-aligns itself and it’s poles due to the gravitational pull of brown dwarf star Nibiru as it makes it’s closest pass to the earth.

If you already know, and have known, about this event, then God bless and keep you as you “Work While You Have the Light.”
I will add that those who have known of this event for years or even decades, who have refused to share this knowledge with the innocent populations of the world, will bear the full brunt of KARMA and God’s Wrath once the Divine Hammer comes down and God’s Heavenly Justice System finally swings into session for the final reckoning of all events from this last dispensation of 500,000 years in our sector of the local universe neighborhood.

“Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying,
‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.” (Matthew 24:4–5).

The first four seals are also known as the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. See Bill Cooper’s book “Behold A Pale Horse”. The white horse and its rider represent false religions“false Christs” (v. 24). In Matthew 24, Jesus continues describing the sequence of events: war, famine, pestilence and tribulation. Jesus is the One who interprets the seals of Revelation. He tells us: “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake” (vv. 6–9).


A General Time-line of Prophesied World Events from the Book of Revelations

http://www.apocalypsetheunveiling.com/table_of_contents.htm

Is the year long “Day of the Lord” also the same year that the poles shift? Evidence indicates that this could be true. Revelation 8 describes the seventh seal being opened. We find that this seal—the Day of the Lord—is comprised of seven trumpet judgments or seven last plagues.

THE “DAY OF THE LORD” may be a year-long period of Divine Intervention, during which time the poles will shift.
One Christian author writes: “The Day of the Lord, mentioned in more than 30 places in the Bible, will be a time of God’s intervention in the affairs of men on this earth, when He will punish the inhabitants of the earth for their flagrant sins.” (Joel 1:14-20; 2:1-32; 3:9-17).

According to Matthew 24:29-31, there will be signs in heaven, “the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven” immediately after the tribulation and before the Day of the Lord. God said, “I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth… The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord” (Joel 2:30-31).
Let’s look at some of the science explaining what happens when the planetary poles shift.


First Plague: ( The White Horse) A Foul and Painful Seeping Sore for Those Who Take the Mark of the Beast
http://www.apocalypsetheunveiling.com/upon_the_earth_.htm

Second Plague: (The Red Horse) The Death of Clean Ocean Waters – Changes in the Chemical Composition of the Oceans http://www.apocalypsetheunveiling.com/into_the_sea_.htm

The second seal reveals a horseman riding a red horse, having the power to take peace from the earth.


Third Plague: (The Black Horse) Fresh Water Lakes, Rivers, Streams Polluted, Unfit to Drink – Dire Water Pollution, Water Shortages, Food Shortages, Famine
http://www.apocalypsetheunveiling.com/upon_the_rivers_and_fountains_of_water_.htm

The third seal presents a rider on a black horse, representing a scarcity of food and resulting famine.


Fourth Plague: (The Pale Horse) Excessive Scorching Heat from Our Sun, Pestilence ( Nibiru Brown Dwarf Approach Overheats our Sun, Bringing also a Fierce Heat of It’s own – Global Warming Skyrockets to Unbearable Levels ) http://www.apocalypsetheunveiling.com/upon_the_sun_.htm

The fourth seal shows a rider on a pale horse with the power over one fourth of the earth to kill “with sword,
with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth” (Revelation 6:8).


Fifth Plague: Tribulation as the Locale of the Seat of World Authority is Tormented by God’s Wrath, Persecution and Martyrdom of Christians

http://www.apocalypsetheunveiling.com/upon_the_seat_of_the_beast.htm


“When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held” (Revelation 6:9).

Sixth Plague: The Euphrates River Dries Up; False Miracles Occur, Armies Begin to Gather in Armageddon
http://www.apocalypsetheunveiling.com/upon_the_euphrates.htm

“Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east (armies of China) might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty” (vv. 12–14).

The name Armageddon comes from the Hebrew, “Har Magedon,” which means “the hill of Megiddo.” Megiddo is located in Modern Israel about 55 miles north of Jerusalem. The hill or mount of Megiddo overlooks the largest valley in Israel, the Plain of Esdraelon, or the Valley of Jezreel.

“When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets” (8:1). The trumpets give us warning, announcing seven plagues, or judgments! The seven seals reveal end-time trends and events. The seventh seal represents the year-long Day of the Lord (cf. Isaiah 34:8). And the seventh seal consists of seven trumpet judgments during the year-long Day of the Lord. As we will see later, the seventh trumpet itself consists of the “seven last plagues” mentioned in Revelation 15:1.

Seventh Plague: Thunder, Lightening, A Worldwide Earthquake Magnitude 9.0, 60 Lb. Hailstones Fall from the Skies, the Armies of the Nations make war at Armageddon, Nuclear Warheads are Launched.
http://www.apocalypsetheunveiling.com/into_the_air_.htm

“And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, ‘Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!’” (Revelation 8:13).

Revelation 9 describes the first woe or the fifth trumpet plague. The fifth angel sounds a trumpet that begins a military action that lasts for five months. The second woe, or the sixth trumpet plague, is pictured with symbols of horses and horsemen. Here we see an intense military counter-attack. We read: “One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things. Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, ‘Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates’” (9:12–14).

An army of 200 million moves westward across the Euphrates River and destroys one-third of the earth’s population.

“So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed; by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths” (vv. 15–18).

This is passage is describing world war III. And this phase of World War III will kill billions of human beings! Jesus said that unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved—all life on earth would be destroyed (Matthew 24:21–22).

The Voice of the Seventh Angel

“Then the seventh angel sounded: and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!’” (Revelation 11:15).

Patriots: How NOT to Blog & How NOT to Get Sent to Jail

‘Uh-Oh They’re Here’

A persistent blogger annoys police — and winds up in jail.

Monday, August 10, 2009

A 34-YEAR-OLD woman, the mother of a 12-year-old girl, has been locked up in a Virginia jail for three weeks and could remain there for at least another month. Her crime? Blogging about the police.

See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/09/AR2009080902126.html


The tragic, yet somewhat comical news story linked illustrates a very valid point for bloggers who follow local police activity. The woman who was jailed for blogging about undercover drug enforcement officers in Charlottesville Virginia clearly had some real issues, possibly a romantic obsession with one or more of the officers, and lacked all common sense and respect for personal and professional privacy in her blog posts. For those who intend to blog and write citizen journalist news stories about local law enforcement, there should clearly be some protocols to follow in order to avoid the fate of the woman in this news story, who is still sitting in a jail cell as of the date of this article.

New Citizen Journalists: Use good judgment as to what is REALLY newsworthy

New Citizen Journalists: Use good judgment as to what is REALLY newsworthy

These are my own protocols. I offer them up for those who might be new to citizen journalism and who do not really know where the boundary line is between reporting, good reporting, no reporting –  and just plain outright idiotic harassment. We live in an era where all intrinsic common sense seems to have flown out the window and many people literally do not know how to conduct themselves in the most basic and fundamental of circumstances. The woman in the news story linked is obviously one of those people. She needed to have someone sit her down and just talk some common sense to her. That did not happen so now she is sitting in jail.

I actually do not think the woman in the linked news story was actually doing any real “reporting” at all. I believe she had a personal issue with one of the undercover officers which may have been an obsessive romantic crush, and was acting out of a personal vendetta, which ended up getting her arrested, all her equipment and even her personal journals confiscated, and has ultimately landed her in a jail cell. A jail cell is the last place a real citizen journalist needs to be, because you cannot reflect and report on what is happening in media if you are locked up. You are silenced. This woman crossed all boundaries of common sense and she got herself silenced as a result.

=> First of all, harassment of any kind  is NOT actually reporting wethemedia1at all. Obsessing on one or more individuals with repeatedly taking personal photos, following them in your car, photographing their home, publishing their home street address without their knowledge or consent violates their own rights to privacy, and is in total contradiction to the VERY REASONS that citizen journalism exists. We write to provide the point of view of someone who observes what is taking already taking place and we reflect back to the news reader what was seen and observed. If the event taking place is deemed to be of interest and concern to the general public it is worth recording and writing about. Here is an example. I enter a cafe and see a police officer talking to a waitress, just having a casual chat. That is not newsworthy.

On another day I enter a cafe and see a police officer slapping a patron in the face. Another officer covers up his actions and threatens observers if they report what they saw. THAT would be newsworthy, but I would discreetly step outside and find a way to make notes on what I saw unnoticed. If the slapping escalated into a beating, I would try to find a way to get photos or video without putting myself in the line of vision of the officers doing the beating.

The first thing they would do if they saw me shooting video is come for me and my camera. These kinds of things are happening now.  I have several videos posted on alligatorfarm.wordpress.com under “Cops Gone Wild” of private citizens actually being arrested for taking photos or video of police officers.

useeit-ureportitThere is a very fine line being drawn between news reporting, and recording routine police activities with no real reason or purpose. This is fuzzy territory and people like the woman in the linked story really crossed those fuzzy places with what she was doing. A journalist’s job is now more treacherous than ever in the USA, and a citizen journalist’s work in the present atmosphere  can be quite nerve wracking.

=> Make your best judgment call on what is NEWS, what is NEWSWORTHY, and butt out of all the rest of it. I am tending towards being vigilant locally i.e. observing incidents of apparent police harassment of individuals who are doing nothing wrong in public places. However, many times there is a history behind what is being observed that would shed new light on what looks like harassment. Often it’s a policeman or policewoman who already knows the person and has had recent issues with that same person repeatedly. Unless you actually know the entire background on a situation, what you might observe in public and describe as harassment of a private individual by police is in fact an officer trying to move someone along in  – without incident  – order to avoid having an issue re-emerge which has taken place before.

9 times out of 10 these incidents have something to do with public drug use, public drunkenness, and / or publicly dealing drugs in plain sight. There is almost always a history behind situations where the same individual and the same police interaction take place over and over again.

=> Keep a safe distance away at least 15 to 20 yards distance when observing any event or potential altercation. Use your telephoto function discreetly for photo / video. Take cover behind a dense solid object like a concrete wall or a large tree if possible. Stay quiet and calm. safe-videoshooterLearn to become invisible as you observe and record. (It’s a shamanic thing.) This should not have to be explained, but for the record, all kinds of things can go horribly wrong for you if you are just standing too close to a police officer who is trying to deal with a person, an event, a situation or a potential situation.

The urge to get right up in someone’s face to record video and watch something “go down” is asking for real trouble. I would add that in the present tense atmosphere it would be quite foolish to be seen in public anywhere pointing a camera or video unit at a police officer for no particular reason. The trick, is do this unseen if you want to capture events of real newsworthiness as they occur. An officer eating his doughnut is not newsworthy. Use some common sense.

Rushing in to ask a police officer for his badge number in the middle of an altercation can turn ot to be "the good, the bad or the ugly."

Rushing in to ask a police officer for his badge number in the middle of an altercation can turn out to be "the good, the bad or the ugly."

=> Don’t try to be a “cowboy.” Be forewarned: If you march up to a police officer during a “situation” and “ask for his badge number” in the present mood and atmosphere of any town or city in America, you can expect to experience a surprising and legally unpleasant response. The police man you are addressing may just decide to “make your day”. Most often you are not going to get a badge number, instead you are going to get arrested or marked as a trouble making local for police. Think really hard before you choose to do this. People are being arrested, roughed up, handcuffed, interrogated, and even hauled away for “asking officers for their badge numbers”. I am not kidding. Better to cleverly stand behind a large tree, at a safe distance, get your video, post it to youtube.com for 2 billion people to have access to it, where it will make a bigger impact on reeling in out-of-control local law enforcement by public shaming, than to swagger up in the middle of a melee and demand the aggressing officer’s “badge number”.

=> Do not engage in public behaviors which will make you a “regular target” for aggressive, volatile, local police.
This is kind of similar to the rule of thumb for people who drive sports cars. If you are going to own one, don’t own a red one. In other words, DON’T MAKE YOURSELF A TARGET. I am continuously astonished at the stupidity of the young people who live in the region where I travel frequently. As the months go by, each time I return I see the same young homeless vagrants doing the same public behaviors repeatedly which inevitably get them roughed up by police. It reminds me of the wild feral child who acts out to get attention, only to be put into “time-out” over and over again for the acting out.

NEW ORLEANS TAPED BEATINGAdults now do this same behavior:  they “act out” in public to get attention. Apparently even really unwanted negative attention, like a 100 lb man being jumped on by 8 250 lb. police officers must constitute some kind of attention. I have seen this occur with the same man on several occasions. He is always doing the same negative behavior. He is an intellectually brilliant college aged man who has no common sense whatsoever. He will most likely be beaten to death by police officers one day. Which brings me to my next protocol:

=> Do not try to be a “bad ass” and brag that you intend to “take on the cops” in public the next time you see them.
This is the final and most utterly foolish behavior that I now watch young people doing in public (mostly men, but some young women too). It almost always begins with a young person being somewhat humiliated by several police officers in a public place, the person in question is either drunk, high, tipsy, mouthy, physically aggressive, and they get wheeled around, cuffed, pushed to the ground and wrestled into submission before they even realize they are out of line. They are too drunk or high TO BE COGNIZANT THAT THEY ARE OUT OF LINE. They end up being humiliated in front of their peers, and then vow to get back at the cops when they see them the next time. What do you suppose happens when “the next time” takes place?
Correct – they escalate sooner, more cops are called for backup, they are wrestled down faster, hauled away to jail – and now their face, name, behavior and where they live, and hang out are now WELL KNOWN to local police. Add to this the fact that during their drunken or high moment they actually vowed out loud to police and to other witnesses that they would “get back” at the cops who are restraining them, and they are actually stupid enough to VOW to fight back harder next time. This kind of talk in public is both a legal and potentially lethal nightmare for the braggart doing the “bad ass” talking. They have now talked their way into becoming HIGH visibility LOCAL TAREGTS FOR POLICE BRUTALITY AT A FUTURE TIME. That’s exactly how it starts. That is precisely what I observe taking place repeatedly which makes certain people stand out as potential targets for police to brutalize later. They taunt police, they swear revenge, they boast to their peers and even to strangers that they will beat the officers down “the next time” and so forth, and they may as well paint a red bull’s eye on their own backs and carry a sign that says: “I hate cops – come and beat me up now before I kill a cop.”

One would think that college males smart enough to attend classes and pass would be smart enough to know how to NOT become a police target. One would also assume that grown mature men in their 30s, 40s, and 50s would know how to NOT become a police target. One would be wrong. Failure to exercise common sense and good judgment in relation to local police law enforcement activities during any kind of encounter can now result in a lifetime of misery for locals who suddenly discover that they are now permanently unwanted HIGH PROFILE TARGETS OF THE LOCAL POLICE. Those who decide after an unhappy altercation that they want to “take on the law” the next time using their own foolish “cowboy style” acting out may end up ruining any peace they will ever have in their own local neighborhoods. Instead, exercising certain specific acts of restraint, remaining calm, refraining from excess verbosity, refusing to be provoked into vocal protests, refusing to be provoked into violent opposition, and choosing to NOT ENGAGE IN CERTAIN BEHAVIORS IN PUBLIC can save one’s reputation, privacy, peace, sanctity of person, even your job, and your future relations with everyone you know. Think before you act on impulse.

Perfect self control is the hallmark of the spiritually evolved human being. Jesus of Nazareth exercised perfect self control even when he was being absolutely brutalized by local authorities. He would expect no less from us. Absolute adherence to non-violence is the Way of the Path of the True Spiritual Warrior. it is also what Jesus would do.
