SIMON...Hello everyone,

This is from Dr Richard Boylan.

I thought that this would be this summer, but maybe these will be different quakes.

I will admit to not knowing where all these locations are, other than 'somewhere' in the USA (New Madrid?)

Friends,

The following information should be used thoughtfully by everyone.

The big 7.8 earthquake that struck Indonesia was very powerful, but
there is a bigger one coming in the U.S.
My close associate Fran has seen/been told that there will be a monster
quake along the Appalachians in 2011 that will cause enormous damage.
According to my energy signature readings, the Mega-Quake will have a
very large fore-shock on Sunday, September 4, 2011, (which some people will
think is the Big One. But it is not.)
The Big One(s) will happen on Tues.-Wedns.-Thurs., September 5-6-7,
2011, in apparently a series of enormous shakings that will be felt along
much of the length of the Appalachians (which stretch from Maine to
Georgia.)
According to my energy reading, the epicenter will be to the southwest
of Roanoke, Virginia under the ridgeline of the Appalachian Mountains there.
http://rhodesmill.or...ox/maps/at4.jpg
<blocked::http://rhodesmill.org/thefox/maps/at4.jpg> But to speak of an
epicenter is almost meaningless, given the enormous size and expanse of this
upcoming mega-earthquake.
Fran has indicated that the strength of this earthquake is so large that
its effects will stretch out to the Atlantic Seaboard, and likely occasion
destructive tidal waves/tsunamis along a considerable portion of the
Atlantic Coast facing the Appalachians.
Therefore it will be possible that damaging surges will occur in
Chesapeake Bay, affecting Washington, DC and Baltimore; along Delaware Bay
affecting Philadelphia; and along New York Bay and Long Island Sound,
possibly affecting JFK Airport and low-lying portions of Manhattan.
If the monster Appalachian Quake should trigger reactive massive slope
failures of unstable seaside Cumbre Vieja Volcano in La Palma, Canary
Islands, then that enormous seaslide would generate additional tsunamis of
wave heights of 40-50 meters (roughly 150 feet high) hitting the coasts of
Florida, outer Caribbean islands and Brazil.
www.drgeorgepc.com/TsunamiMegaEvaluation.html
<blocked::http://www.drgeorgepc.com/TsunamiMegaEvaluation.html>
Mother Earth is hurting. Fran has indicated that this is a natural
event, necessary for Gaia/Mother Earth to adjust and equilibrate in the face
of the damage done to her, including the epically-ruinous massive
mountaintop-removal and other coal mining occurring along the Appalachians.
Thus this mega-quake is not something anyone should try to prevent or
minimize by psychic means. We have to learn to accept and learn from the
natural consequences of our collective Human behavior and choices.
Perhaps next year's Appalachian Mega-Quake will be the occasion for us
and the Obama Administration to move dramatically away from reliance on
carbon-based fuel and power, including coal. Maybe not. I hope it does.
If the Administration uses the Mega-Quake as a basis to declassify and
release clean, non-polluting Zero Point Energy technology to the public,
then all the suffering and loss that will attend the Appalachian Great Quake
will not have been in vain.

in the light,

Richard Boylan, Ph.D.

*Howdy Simon...you been hidding in the 'Underground'?
No really, my main objection to this particular prediction...is 'Boylan' using it to 'fit in' his OBAMA nonsense and his USUAL Rants on 'Carbon Fuels'. Obviously a propaganda expedient. Thanks for the Topic/'S'

Hi Sweeps,

I got diverted from the pc and roped in to some serious spring cleaning, plus have been busy with domestic / family issues, entertaining relatives, etc. Also, my last few visits were silent, which means that I became a lurker who just read...

Anyway, as I see it there *is* a dilemma looming, but not the scenario as descibed above.

It seems that the 2012 solar maximum will see CME's etc which reach the planetary surface and cause havoc, and that the safest way to avoid the danger will be to hide in caves or deep underground.

Meanwhile, another long term cycle will see a crustal displacement. The last place a person would wish to be when this happens is below ground.

This is my understanding of the real issue... except to say that our leaders know and are desperately working on their own survival, not caring about the rest of us. It is possible that they are adopting this attitude because at the highest levels the power mongers are in fact survivors from a previous (possibly similar) event and know, from experience, that even with just a comparative few surviving it will be possible to rebuild humanity.

Maybe there is more to it, and I am being too simplistic (?) Anyway, whilst theories can change in light of new information, what seems 'very likely' is that we're in deep deep trouble, with a capital T.

All this would also partly explain why debts are being run up - the leaders know that there will be no need to repay them.

Thanks Sweeps.

Ugh, you are about 11 months ahead of when I was expecting this. I probably wont have finished digitising my life by then - the task is immense... (the idea is store my most important things on cd's, hard drives, etc). As an aside now that spring cleaning is over this is the primary reason why I'm about less often.

I got October from Nosty, in his epistle to King Henry (whatever number).

I am nowehere near ready, and anyway to be the only person with food in a heavily built up area full of the starving does not bode well.

I was thinking of buying two things which may seem really stupid, especially given my present day circumstances. These are some sort of (inflatable) boat and a tent. The coming events may see buildings become unsafe, so a tent would provide shelter - unless sea levels rise (ice packs at the new poles will form more slowly than existing ice packs melt), in which case a boat may become an essential survival tool. Unless others try to kill me for it.

Without saying too much about my personal finances (remember, I've now been unemployed since Jan 2009), I guess that we are past worrying about debts... I take my cue from the various global leaders who have racked up massive debts, knowing full well that what is coming is such that they will not need repaying.

btw, have you ever heard of a 'volcano' kettle (or Kelley Kettle)? Might come in handy if you want hot water and need to boil it using a real fire.

15 April 2010…Ash clouds from Iceland's spewing volcano disrupts air traffic across Northern Europe, forcing authorities to close ALL Nordic air space and cancel hundreds of flights. Volcanic ash is formed from explosive eruptions. Particles as hard as a knife blade range in size from as small as 0.001 millimeters (1/25,000 inch) to 2 millimeters (1/12 inch), the Geological Survey says. Ash can melt in the heat of an aircraft engine and then solidify again,

Yes Sweeps, a preview...

Bit of a shock actually, as such was never contemplated. Shows the fragility of our technology.

For this preview wind directions are an important feature. At present they are blowing from the north-west, which is the direction of Iceland, but if they changed so that we received southerly winds so then the ash wouldn't be coming here.

Its ironic that Iceland is the cause of this chaos and disruption (which is costing a lot of people a lot of money), as when their bank went bust they also lost a lot of people a lot of money... Maybe they are still hankiering to secretly / subsconsciously escalate the Cod war from the 1970's?

As if to add to the misery, if news reports are correct then many people will find that their travel insurance does not cover them for losses due to 'natural events', such as this.

How soon before Mt Ranier? and however-so-many others?

In the meantime, we can expect an absense of chemtrails and a spectacular sunset. But I wont see these properly myself, as I went to an opticians' today for a consultation on laser eye surgery, and they used some eye drops which have made my eyes very relaxed and unable to focus properly. They did tell me this in advance and advised me not to drive for a few hours.

Thanks Sweeps,

Several hours later and things are OK - which is what I was told to expect. I'm not suitable for laser eye surgery, in a nutshell I'm too young and my eyes will change more so that 10 years down the line I would need it again.

At the time of sunset it was cloudy, so we missed out on what earlier in the day the TV weather people said could be quite a sight.

Thanks Sweeps, although Google offered several different ways of spelling this it seems that the concensus meaning is "Praise be to Allah" or 'Thank God'. Maybe in the name of equality I should seek out an online translation for 'Thank You' in Hebrew?

It was never intended to actually go ahead with the procedure, but I saw an online advert and out of curiosity I clicked it for more information... In the meantime today I collected some varifocals, and am now trialing them to see if I can get on with them.

Now, to matters related to volcanoes... On my way home walking through my local park I started looking at the sky, as its now over 24 hours since air travel stopped and I was curious to see a sky without chemtrails. Yes, there is a noticeable difference. I had my camera with me, once the images have been downloaded I'll be in touch re: making them available to see here.

Hello everyone,

Some comparative views of the sky over London with and without chemtrails. Alas, I cannot photograph the reduction in background noise which comes from the grounding of all aircraft..

Simon
-------------------------

This first image was taken in Central London on Thursday. Notice the thin whispey cloud is arranged in lines.






The rest of these images were taken in my local park on Friday. Even where there is thin whispey cloud, it is evenly spread out / not in lines.

I've heard it said that the ash situation is a sham, and that the truth points towards a NATO military operation. During the day the TV news was telling us that its been discovered that a military jet from Finland which flew through the eruption cloud was badly damaged (corroded) by the acids in the cloud.

So, where does truth fit in to all of this?? Pass!


In the meantime, the duration of the eruption is not the whole story, neither is the possibility of a second volcano erupting. All we need is for the winds to reverse direction and then the ash will stop coming here. Might bcreate a problem for Canada, however.

Below are some links which may be of interest...

The Nato military operation.. in the midst of the volcanic issue, is it still ongoing???

and if we think that the volcano that is currently erupting is a problem, then there is this!

Hi Sweeps,

actually, its early morning

(almost 1 am)

Another aspect of all this is that Mercury, the planet of communication, has just gone retrograde.

Some crops can go by rail... even road. But crops such as runner beans from Kenya and blueberries from Chile must be flown in, as they would perish if sent any other way.

*OK Simon...it's now going on Noon of this day then:

*'Sweeps' NOTE:
…More to what I'd posted earlier, Simon and All. The damage caused by Iceland volcano 'Eyjafjallajokull', could be far more damaging than is being reported. It has happened before, and it could happen again. The last large eruption was in 1695 with consequences lasting seven years and brought Scotland to its knees.

Below, from the Mitch Battros Site, is a just-released video…'My Website' Link… showing what it looks like to drive in Iceland. If this is a major "Eyjafjallajokull" eruption, parts of the United Kingdom may look similar. Not only does such an event change the world's climate for 3 or 4 years, it could cause a financial collapse of the European Union. If they go down --- everybody goes down/'S'

This morning there are flights in Scotland and northern England, and later this afternoon airspace over the rest of England and Wales may reopen. This would include London.

BUT

another cloud of ash is on its way - the second opening may not come to pass (don't know yet / its too soon).

----------------

(adding this for the benefit of overseas readers - its a copy of an email I sent to some people in Australia and the US)

The media is very busy reporting on people's desperate attempts to get back to Britain - the government has even sent the Navy in to help! There has been a new realisation that we are still an island nation, and that when flying to (eg: Turkey) the 'land masses' flown over below are actually countries, such as Bulgaria, Rumania, (etc) about which we know very little and through which to pass takes 'ages'. Oh then there are also these things called 'mountains' which again take ages to traverse.

Against a backdrop of the famous White Cliffs of Dover, the televison has also been talking about the Dunkirk spirit of 1940.

But, after 1940 came a much wider and longer period of disruption. Will history repeat itself in this too? In 1943/4 Vesuvius erupted. Will that history repeat itself as well? Is Naples about to be covered is ash too?

Dear United Kingdom,

In response to your demand to send CASH immediately...

Please note the Icelandic Alphabet does not contain the letter "C."

We have complied with your request as best as our language allows.

It's not easy to conjure up a volcano at will to spew tons of ASH.

Please consider our debt paid in full.

Respectfully yours,

This morning there are flights in Scotland and northern England, and later this afternoon airspace over the rest of England and Wales may reopen. This would include London.

BUT

another cloud of ash is on its way - the second opening may not come to pass (don't know yet / its too soon).

The media is very busy reporting on people's desperate attempts to get back to Britain - the government has even sent the Navy in to help! There has been a new realisation that we are still an island nation, and that when flying to (eg: Turkey) the 'land masses' flown over below are actually countries, such as Bulgaria, Rumania, (etc) about which we know very little and through which to pass takes 'ages'. Oh then there are also these things called 'mountains' which again take ages to traverse.

...Looks like 'we' are the only ones contributing to this Topic. People are strange huh?

*Good one Simon…we sure need the Humor, AND thanks for the E-mail.

'Sweeps' NOTE:
…Yeah humor, because of what is NOW being said by Leading Volcanologists. Could this be true? Read down below & can we now expect a 40-60 year cycle of increased Volcanic activity and ASH from Iceland? 'Good Golly' hardly covers that prospect. Cheers/'S'

Volcanologists Predict Decades of Increased Activity on Iceland

Volcanologists say the fireworks exploding from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano on Iceland, which is responsible for the ash cloud that is grounding all commercial flights across northern Europe, may become a familiar sight. Increased rumblings under Iceland over the past decade suggest that the area is entering a more active phase, with more eruptions and the potential for some very large bangs.

"Volcanic activity on Iceland appears to follow a periodicity of around 50 to 80 years. The increase in activity over the past 10 years suggests we might be entering a more active phase with more eruptions," says Thorvaldur Thordarson, an expert on Icelandic volcanoes at the University of Edinburgh, UK. By contrast, the latter half of the 20th century was unusually quiet.

Along with increased volcanism, more seismic activity has been recorded around Iceland, including the magnitude-6.1 quake that rocked Reykjavik in May 2008.
Rifting strain

In 1998 Gudrún Larsen from the University of Iceland in Reykjavik and colleagues used 800 years' worth of data from lava layers, ice cores and historical records to show that Iceland's volcanism goes through cycles of high and low activity. The peaks of these cycles seem to be strongly linked to bursts of earthquakes, which release the build-up of strain on tectonic faults near Iceland caused by the rifting of the Atlantic Ocean.

In addition, the periodicity may be linked to pulses of magma coming from the mantle and pressure fluctuations at the surface caused by glaciers melting and geothermal activity.

Larsen and colleagues showed that the Vatnajökull ice cap region – which includes the highly active Grímsvötn and Bárdarbunga volcanoes – experienced between 6 and 11 eruptions every 40 years during phases of high activity, compared with no more than three eruptions per 40 years during low-activity phases. Other regions of Iceland appear to follow a similar pattern to Vatnajökull.

As well as becoming more frequent, eruptions seem to get more intense during the high-activity phases. A number of Iceland's most devastating eruptions – including that of the volcano Laki in 1783 that killed over half of Iceland's livestock and led to a famine that wiped out about a quarter of its human population – have occurred when the Atlantic rift system has been active. 'If we are entering a more active phase, these bigger eruptions will become more likely', says Thordarson.

Judging by recent volcanic and earthquake activity, Thordarson and his colleagues believe that Iceland is entering its next active phase and estimate it will last for 60 years or so, peaking between 2030 and 2040.
