What is the Galactic Alignment?

It is important to define what the Galactic Alignment is in precise astronomical terms. (See the Glossary below for terms.)

The Galactic Alignment is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator. This alignment occurs as a result of the precession of the equinoxes.

Precession is caused by the earth wobbling very slowly on its axis and shifts the position of the equinoxes and solstices one degree every 71.5 years. Because the sun is one-half of a degree wide, it will take the December solstice sun 36 years to precess through the Galactic equator (see diagram below).

The precise alignment of the solstice point (the precise center-point of the body of the sun as viewed from earth) with the Galactic equator was calculated to occur in 1998 (Jean Meeus, Mathematical Astronomy Morsels, 1997).

Thus, the Galactic Alignment “zone” is 1998 +/- 18 years = 1980 – 2016. This is “era-2012.”

This Galactic Alignment occurs only once every 26,000 years, and was what the ancient Maya were pointing to with the 2012 end-date of their Long Count calendar.

These are the astronomical facts of the matter. From a larger perspective, we can visualize the 2012 Galactic Alignment in the following way:

Position A is where the December solstice sun was in relation to the Milky Way some 3,000 years ago. Position B is 1,500 years ago. And position C is “era-2012″, when the December solstice sun has converged, as a result of the precession of the equinoxes, with the exact center-line of the Milky Way (the Galactic equator). Notice that the place of alignment is where the ‘nuclear bulge’ of the Galactic Center is located.

A long awaiting digital portrayal of precession and galactic alignments is now available on Nick Fiorenza’s web site.

Descriptions of the process are also there, but it should be noted that Nick describes what I refer to as “the solstice-galaxy alignment” with a preference for the equinox as the measuring reference. Thus, he speaks of the “Holy Cross” of the equinox axis and the Milky Way. The point is that “solstice-galaxy alignment” and “equinox-galaxy cross” refer to the same event.

It is my hope that the these definitions will help to standardize the terminology so we can clearly discuss the rare precessional alignment that culminates in era-2012.




The ecliptic: The path followed by the sun, moon, and planets. It is the plane of our solar system. The ecliptic encircles the earth and is divided into twelve constellations, or zodiac signs.

The Milky Way: The bright band of star that our solar system belongs to. It encircles the earth and is wider in the region of Sagittarius because that is where the ‘nucelar bulge” of the Milky Way’s center is located (our Milky Way is saucer shaped).

The Galactic equator: The precise mid-line running down the Milky Way. Analogous to the earth’s equator, it divides the galaxy into two hemispheres, or lobes.

The Dark Rift in the Milky Way: A feature caused by interstellar dust that runs along the Milky Way from the Galactic Center northward past the constellation of Aquila.

The December solstice sun: The sun, on the December solstice. It is one-half of a degree wide.

The December solstice point: The precise midpoint of the sun, on the December solstice.

The Precession of the equinoxes: The earth wobbles very slowly on its axis and this causes the position of the equinox to shift backwards, or precess, through the signs of the ecliptic at the rate of one degree every 71.5 years. The full precessional wobble is complete in roughly 25,800 years.

The vernal equinox point is defined by the intersection of the ecliptic and the celestial equator.

The Celestial Equator: The earth’s equator projected into the stars. It is the plane of the earth’s rotation.

The Cross formed by the Milky Way and the ecliptic: Exactly as stated. There are two of these, one in early Sagittarius, the other in early Gemini. The former cross has the virtue of being located within the nuclear bulge of the Galactic Center.

The nuclear bulge / the Galactic Center: A bright and wide region of the Milky Way, visible to the naked eye and between Sagittarius and Scorpio. The more precise and abstract center-point of the nuclear bulge is the precise Galactic Center, located at about 6 degrees Sagittarius (sidereal) and 27 degrees in the tropical zodiac.

Additional Glossary of Mayan Calendar terms

We can have a more general discussion of galactic alignments in history if we consider that the solstice axis aligns with the galactic equator every half precession cycle. Likewise, the equinox axis aligns with the galactic equator every half precession cycle. Thus, galactic alignments, more generally speaking, occur in era 2012 (1980 – 2016) and every quarter precession cycle before and after era 2012.

In terms of Mayan astronomy and mythology, the Dark Rift feature (which the Maya called the Black Road or Xibalba be) lies along the galactic equator (the Milky Way) in the place where the December solstice sun will be in 2012. (More precisely, the December solstice sun will reach the southern terminus of the Dark Rift, where it touches the ecliptic in Sagittarius.) Thus, in terms of Mayan mythology, we can also describe the Galactic Alignment of era-2012 as the alignment of the December solstice sun and the Dark Rift. This entire region is targeted by the cross formed by the Milky Way and the ecliptic between Sagittarius and Scorpio. This Cross was also recognized by the Maya, and was called the Crossroads or Sacred Tree. This entire region is embraced by what astronomers call the ‘nuclear bulge’ of the Galactic Center—the center of our Milky Way galaxy. As any amateur astronomer or naked-eye star gazer knows, this nuclear bulge is recognizable without the aid of radio telescopes. It is wider and brighter than other parts of the Milky Way. So, in a general sense we can also say that the alignment in 2012 is an alignment between the December solstice sun and the Galactic Center. However, since the nuclear bulge is quite large, this definition is not as precise as saying “the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator”, which occurs in the range 1980 – 2016. This is the alignment zone I refer to with the term “era-2012.”

Only What’s Actionable

*From UrbanSurvival*

If I had a crystal ball, I’d be tempted to cover the damn thing up because the next several weeks are looking downright crappy.  So much is drifting around in the predictive linguistics that Cliff at www.halfpasthuman.com is planning to put out a “Shape of Things To Come” report around the 15th.  But, beyond that, after swearing off ‘short term immediacy values’ there are three that I outlined for Peoplenomics subscribers on Sunday that you may as well put them on your refrigerator door so you can play along at home.

The three high immediacy values indicate the increased chance of a major earthquake this week (Sep 2-5, more likely 3-4) which will be large enough (>6.8 to 8.0+) that a couple of weeks after the quake we’ll still be watching imagery of buildings falling into their foundations.  Might want to bookmark the USGS global seismograph page here.  Oh, and the global quake list here.  Along about Thursday or Friday is when the data seems to peak.

Quake could be Turkey/Pakistan/Asia/China because of the time delay in the pictures, or around latitude 34 north but that data’s very broad, so anything south of the SF area latitude-wise seems possible.  And may not be North lat.  See the problem?

Then about a week later (shading toward September 7-11 there’s an increased risk of ‘terrorism’ events (explosions, no further detail or clarity yet) and then around September 13-15 a ‘sudden/surprising’ hurricane coming ashore in the Southeast USA.

—-

Actionable?  Maybe not.  Let me explain:  The problem with all of this is that these are statistical probabilities based on shifts in language and may or may not actually happen.  Secondly, they are not specifically actionable except insofar as people in SoCal and around New Madrid may wish to have earthquake kits topped off with fresh water.  That comes up on my list this week, even though we’re nowhere near a quake-zone.  At least yet.

Same thing with terrorism risks elevating around September 7-11th:  Not enough clarity to be actionable and may not even be in the US, since only the terra entity has been processed so far, so it could be a few days before we find out if that shows in the PopUSA data when that portion of the model is run.

Then there’s the ‘sudden/surprising’ hurricane around Sept 13-15 in the SE USA.  Again, about all you can do is buy a couple of blue tarps and have the generator ready; this one threatens to cause some degree of Diaspora and we should be treated to visuals of FEMA’s response in KatRita kind of fashion by say the 20th or so.

—-

Beyond these three immediacy value pops it looks like the “Shape of Things to Come” report will be out around September 15th, and by then many of these short term values/aberrations in the data will be passed and they’re not really the point of the work, anyway.

My advise to anyone is to focus on those things which are personally actionable and blow off most of the rest of the news.  Toward that end,  next week’s Peoplenomics report is a kind of step-by-step report (workbook?  Don’t know how wordy I will get…) which explains how to set up your own cross between a radio or TV assignment editor-level information platform at home and personal recording studio.  Hope it won’t go ebook length, but that sometimes happens when it’s a subject that I really enjoy.  Not that  the budget for such a creation (About $1,000) could be better spent on other things, but it’s at least a primer on how to get access to non-corporate media and get some sense of how the rest of the world is operating.

You are what you think – and getting control of your own electronic sheep leash is at least a first step on the road to independent thought.

Having laid all that out, the markets really fade into insignificance, since fall market declines are nothing new and we’re almost at fall now.  In the linguistic work, fall in America may be described any number of ways:  The classic version would be through September 20/21 which it ‘officially’ arrives, but in contemporary language it’s from Memorial Day to Labor Day which means next weekend we’ll be edging out of it.

Where things have come more clearly into focus is what happens to the longer term values from September 15th out through next year and there are been some degradation in the outlook there, especially as it relates to basics like food and governmental organization and response to (nominally) free humans; just be patient and the report will be along.  Meantime…

Fires Over Glendale

The “Summer of Hell” has been a bit lighter (so far) than some of my personal expectations, although we’ve had plenty of ‘revolutionary’ imagery & revolutionspeak to contend with; everything from demonstrators practicing open-carry of fire arms at political demonstrations, to the hot language around the town hall meetings attempted by congresspersons and now the major fires out in California which are threatening the big communication towers up on Mount Wilson.

Don’t know if you have ever had the chance to take the ‘windy roads’ up northeast from Glendale, but it’s a pretty area, or at least it used to be.  A Google map of the area is here.  The reason the Mount Wilson fire is important is that there are something like 22 television stations and 25 radio outlets with facilities up on that hill, although there aren’t that many towers.  A lot of them are shared facilities with big backup generators and cooperative tower leasing.  Two firefighters dead so far.

New Broom Sweeps Japan

The first time in what, 30-odd years, Japan has a new party in power.  Gone are the (not really) Liberal Democratic Party and in come the Democrats.  All of which would be a total yawner except for the fact that the Dems want to impose a ban on temporary workers on the factory floors of the country which has the business lobbyists are twisted up in their knickers.

Monday’s action on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was muted with the N225 down 4/10th’s of one percent.  Japan’s economy has about been flatlined since 1996.

Like the US problems catching up to us now, Japan has problems that no one has simple answers for because all possible solutions will cause socioeconomic pain.  The problem can be summarized as”

  • Government has made too many social commitments

  • Government hasn’t really ‘saved’ money to meet these commitments and

  • When a recession (second depression) kicks in, guess what?  Not enough dough!

All of which leads to all kinds of teeth-gnashing and snarling among the politicos who rather than getting candid in in-your-face about the tough choices spend most of their time maneuvering for maximum personal gain/profit/wallet padding.

China was down almost 7 percent last night – way I figure it is that some of China’s hot money will be called home to cover, so I’d expect the US market to be down today.  Just a feeling.  Shanghai chart and numbers here.  A couple of big losers in Chinese steels and transports when you drill down into it.  Bummer for China’s economy.

Sick City

The headline that H1N1 has infected about 10% of New York in its rounds this spring leaves me wondering “If this stuff is so damn dangerous, where are all the dead NY’ers?”

Such reasonable questions aside (and yes, I understand it can mutate) I’m still aghast and appalled that flu hysteria is on the verge of turning the Republik of Massachusetts into a “Constitution-free Zone” by contemplating roundups and $1,000 a day fines for those who won’t roll up their sleeves.

I won’t go for the obvious jackboot and needles since the net’s full of that.

President of Columbia has the swine flu.

Like It Wasn’t Obvious Department

Faced with North Sea declines, mounting debt load on the Pound, newspapers in the UK are getting around to my view that the “Lockerbie bomber was set free for oil.”  Not being judgmental on this, mind you; depends how attached you are to driving and reliable power in the UK, does it not?

That said, Al Jazeera is reporting this morning that the Lockerbie bomb is in the hospital.

Pirate Blockades

The British government is considering new rules which would allow UK ISP’s to cut off internet file-sharing users.  As you’d expect, there are some folks who are really ticked at the proposal because it will likely add to internet costs.  But, the government’s business secretary Peter Mandelson insists it’s a workable solution

News watching tip:  If a media outlet refers to the UK biz-sec as ‘Lord Mandelson’ you can get an important insight into the old (top down/royalty model) paradigm being supported down at the unquestioned/subliminal level.

“Lord” is royal labeling scheme and we don’t do that around here as my personal clarity on the subtleties of paradigm reinforcing mechanisms improves.  Sorry for being so dense.

Slow Learner’s Department

I noticed that Russian television today is marking their pull out from Afghanistan 15-years ago.  Meantime, “U.S. fears clock ticking on Afghanistan.“  Can someone explain to me why we’re there besides the economic stimulus for the war machinery outfits, the poppy fields and pipeline routes?

Russian TV is also reporting about the growing number of political prisoners in Georgia – evidence they say that democracy is dying there.  Still looks like a Moscow vs. the West flashpoint to me.

New Kind of Eye Surgery

One more from our scan of Russian headlines?  Sure, how’s this one:  “Cutting-edge laser surgery – with no cuts” is coming along.

Immunity Card?

I’ve been wondering if former veep Dick Cheney might have gotten a ‘get out of jail” card from his former boss George Bush before leaving office.  At least that’s one question which crosses my mind upon reading how “Cheney may snub detainee probe.

Linguistic note: If you or I did that it would be contempt.  That Cheney might do it being called just a ‘snub’ is curious, isn’t it?

This thing developed when? Rare Hurricane Jimena exploding

I can’t recall one hurricane off the top of my head that became a category two within 24 hours of being upgraded to a tropical depression.  Even Hurricane Alicia in 1983 didn’t develop this fast.  I honestly cannot recall of the top of my head any Atlantic or East Pacific storm that has gone from being classified a tropical depression to a category two hurricane within 24 hours.  If anyone knows an example, please let me know.  So, why is Jimena doing this?

Size Does Matter

To get with the basics, Jimena is a tight system.  In fact, hurricane-force winds only extend about 20 miles from the center.  Add in the tropical storm-force winds and the estimated diameter of the eye and Jimena is only 120 miles wide.  In comparis, Hurricane Katrina covered that same distance with hurricane-force winds alone.  Another rapidly intensifying hurricane, Bret, was 165 miles wide (tropical storm-force wind radii) after it’s intensification cycle.  Charley was 175 miles wide.  Seeing a pattern?

Hurricane Jimena Visible - Credit NRL MontereyHurricane Jimena Visible – Credit NRL Monterey

This isn’t to say a storm must be small to intensify rapidly.  But, it helps.  The smaller the storm, the faster it can strengthen.

What’s Your Thermocline?

Jimena is currently located over water temperatures above 30°C (celsius) or 86°F (farenheit).  That is extremely warm for tropical development.  Consider the minimum sea surface temperatures supportive of tropical cyclones is 26°C or 80°F.  Six degress may not sound like much.  But, for a tropical system that lives on the release of heat energy, that’s tremendous – like spinach to Popeye.  Even more incredible is that Jimena will be passing over or very near water temperatures pushing 32°C or 89°F.

Would you like steroids with that spinach?

Would you like some water with that spinach?

How about thousands of square miles of over 50mm of h20/in2.  In essense, it’s humid.  Very humid.  And it won’t dry up anytime soon.  Jimena has more than enough moisture to work with.  And the moisture, thanks to the water temperatures and air temperatures, is over 85°F.  Hurricane Jimena is drawing in all of this warm abundant moisture and processing it into energy, dropping pressures and increasing wind speeds.  As you can see from the image below, there’s plenty of it around for the next several days.

Hurricane Jimena - Total Precipitable Water - Aug 29, 2009 - Credit CIMSSHurricane Jimena – Total Precipitable Water – Aug 29, 2009 – Credit CIMSS

What goes up must go out

Jimena is beneath an anticyclone or an upper-level high pressure system.  This leads to upper-level winds that are more than enough to pull the used energy from the center of Jimena.  Yet, the winds aren’t too strong to pull the convection away from the system.  This system will remain over Jimena for the next several days – possibly up until landfall.  As long as this anticyclone stays over Jimena the hurricane will be able to draw in ample amounts of energy, process the energy to help strengthen the storm, and dispose the energy through the upper levels.

Surely, there’s a catch

The catch is Jimena can destroy itself.  Not to the point of dissipation, but certainly the system can trip up over itself.  Primarily, this comes in the way of eyewall replacement cycles.  The more intense a hurricane is, the more likely the eye collapses under the pressure of the storm itself.  These are unpredictable and could happen at anytime.

Hurricane Jimena - Visible - Aug 29, 22:00 UTC - Courtesy NASAHurricane Jimena – Visible – Aug 29, 22:00 UTC – Courtesy NASA

Don’t be surprised at all if this thing gets to cat 5 status.  The hurricane, however, will likely go through a “calming” phase where all equal parts of the hurricane try to catch up to each other.  Once the system becomes in-sync with itself then it will continue to grow until:

  • an upper-level trough approaches the storm as expected in a few days and increases shear over the system;
  • the storm approaches a drier air mass – possible in a few days;
  • the storm makes landfall – likely in a few days.

In the meantime, watch Jimena grow.  This is a truly rare occurence.

Weird dreams and contemplation

I do not know. I have not really been watching a lot of news lately, perhaps that is good and there is a lesser chance of being indoctinated. (Heh)

Feeling a bit depressed. For the first time since moving here, it is raining. I like the rain in some ways; however, I am going through an emotional turmoil right now, a bit like a tsunami. Perhaps the rain reflects this position.

I had a dream about Vancouver, that something terrible was going to happen there. There was ash all over the place, covering the city. I do not know what caused this ash-cover, but it was killing people.

I then had a dream about my parents. Wistful in nature, I suppose.

I hope you are all having a positive weekend. I am in some pain today, due to fibromyalgia and such. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Now I am a little freaked out

Woke up at 4am. What woke me up? The sounds of FOOTSTEPS in my apartment. It was very clear…the cat started going bananas. There is nobody living next to me. There is someone downstairs, but I would not hear the noise that clearly. It sounded like it was coming from my stairwell. Either something followed me home from the cemetery, or there is an astral inhabitant living here.

I will try taking some pictures and setting up a recorder, maybe I can get something.

Haunted Ohio: The Moonville Tunnel

*I have been here before. It is freaky. It is not just the Moonville Tunnel, it is the surrounding area as well. Hocking Hills, the cemetery…bad vibes all around.*

ZALESKI — For some locals who are into ghosthunting, the Moonville Tunnel in Vinton County is too tempting to pass up.

The ghosthunters who make up Unseen Forces Paranormal Research Team consist of members from both Meigs County and Mason County, W.Va. who specialize in investigating haunted places. Unseen Forces has previously investigated Beech Grove Cemetery in Pomeroy.

As for their Moonville Tunnel adventure, Unseen Forces members Brenden Black and Raven Johnson said their experience was by far the most haunted the group has documented. Black, Johnson and members Ryan Ferrell and Whitnee Russell have been to the tunnel three times, collecting evidence that the location is indeed haunted.

According to various ghost hunting sources on the Internet, the Moonville Tunnel is regarded as one of the most haunted places in Ohio by many ghosthunters. The old tunnel sits along Raccoon Creek in the Zaleski Forest. The town of Moonville was a mining town founded in the 1850’s which was said to be located around the tunnel which was used by the Marietta-Cincinnati Railroad. The town’s population is said to have peaked in the 1870’s at under 100 residents. The town then completely fell off the map and disappeared in the 1930’s. All that’s left is the tunnel, a cemetery and a few old foundations for long-gone homes. The train stopped running in 1986 and the tracks were torn out in 1988.

Though some ghosthunters report there were as many as six people killed in the tunnel between 1859 and 1986, the most popular “ghost” story haunting the tunnel is the ghost of a railroad worker. The legend goes a Marietta-Cincinnati railroad worker fell onto the tracks outside the tunnel on March 29, 1859 and was hit by the train. People claim to have seen his ghost walking the tracks with a lantern, wearing his railroad uniform.

The crew from Unseen Forces believes they came in contact with what could be the mysterious railroad worker during their investigations at the tunnel. While in the tunnel, Black said the group turned on a flashlight and began asking questions of what they felt was a spirit near them. The group asked the spirit to dim the flashlight for “yes” and brighten it for “no.”

Through this communication, Black and Johnson said the spirit answered to the name of “Brakeman” and said he died in the tunnel. He told the team he is staying at the tunnel because he feels he has a purpose there. He also communicated he did live in Moonville, is happy and feels at peace, was killed at night time and there was an important thing he wanted the team to know but he couldn’t tell them. The Brakeman also said there was a girl in the tunnel who died there. In fact there are reports of a small girl dying in the tunnel in 1986 after she was struck by a train.

In addition, team members reported being touched by unseen hands and heard unexplained noises and footsteps in the tunnel. The team also captured a photo of what appears to be the shadow of a person at the far end of the tunnel. Black said the photo was taken during daylight and no one saw the “shadow man” in the tunnel when the picture was snapped.

Black said the team utilized video recorders, digital cameras, voice recorders, EMF detectors, contact thermometers, UC blacklight flashlights and K2 meters to complete the investigation. In addition they used laser levels in the tunnel which occasionally would show breaks in the light as if something unseen was walking past.

“It is definitely haunted,” Black concluded about the tunnel.

As for those who don’t believe in hauntings, Black and Johnson said, “you’ll believe once you experience it.” As for why do ghosthunting? Johnson said “it’s a rush.”

The evidence collected at the Moonville Tunnel as well as during other Unseen Forces’ investigations can be viewed on the group’s myspace page or at http://www.unseenforcespr.webs.com.

My spidey sense is tingling…

I am not sure why. I went to a cemetery yesterday, just walking around. I have this odd feeling that a ghost followed me home.

I know most paranormal investigators say they do not follow you home. I feel something did, though. My cat was running around the apartment like crazy last night. I felt a presence. I do not believe it is a negative presence, but I can certainly feel it.

Hmm…

Charleston Medical Center Tells Employees to Get Vaccine or Lose Jobs

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Charleston Area Medical Center employees must get seasonal flu shots this year or risk losing their jobs.

All CAMC Health System workers must get vaccinated by Dec. 15 or their employment will be terminated, CAMC said in its August newsletter Vital Signs.

“The strongest recommendation that’s out there is to take the vaccine every year,” CAMC Director of Epidemiology Terrie Lee said Tuesday. “Our board of trustees and administrators had been discussing this for a couple years. We decided this year to make it a mandatory process for all of our employees.”

Employees may submit a request for accommodation due to health reasons, such as allergies to a component of the flu vaccine. They have until Sept. 15 to do so, and if requests are confirmed, those employees would have to wear a mask over their nose and mouth while at work during flu season, the newsletter said.

“That’s interesting,” Dr. Rahul Gupta, health officer and executive director of the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department, said when asked about CAMC’s new policy. “Health care employees are very essential to any flu response efforts.”

From a public health standpoint it is a positive step, Gupta said, adding he was curious to see if other hospitals follow CAMC’s lead.

“I’m not aware of any national guidelines recommending that all employees of any institutions, hospitals or not, be forced to have flu vaccines,” Gupta said. “However … I do understand they are private employers, and private employers do have a right to expect a healthy work force.”

Flu shots will start Nov. 2 and will be offered at employee health offices and on nursing units, the newsletter said.

The requirement covers about 6,000 employees, including clinical staff, workers in off-site locations and office workers, CAMC said.

CAMC workers who submit requests for an accommodation regarding the flu shot because of health limitations must provide     documentation from a physician or take a free allergy test, Lee said.

“Nobody would be given the vaccine if it would be a dangerous thing for them to do,” Lee said.

CAMC always has offered free flu vaccinations to employees, Lee said, and it has raised its worker vaccination rate to 70 percent over the past few years from earlier rates of about 30 percent to 40 percent.

Past efforts to raise the flu shot rate have included training nursing staff representatives to educate and vaccinate their co-workers and requiring employees who work with patients to sign a declination statement if they choose not to take the vaccine, Lee said.

But CAMC officials want to raise the vaccination rate to 100 percent to help avoid spreading influenza or negatively affecting patient recovery, Lee said.

“It’s just not good for anybody,” Lee said. “People are infectious to other people with the flu before they become symptomatic.

“Many people are certainly misinformed about that,” Lee added. “They’ll say ‘I would never want to make anybody sick. If I’m sick, I’ll stay home.’ That sounds like a real good idea and yet… it’s too late.”

Million TIMES More Squalene In H1N1 Vax Than Caused GWI !!

Dr. Laibow’s presentation on squalene during the second hour of your program last night, 8-24, was impressive.  In looking for some verification of the ‘million-times more squalene’ than was in ‘Vaccine A’ that caused the catastrophic Gulf War I Illness (which ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops and killed thousands of others -ed), I came across this article…
What’s The Danger of Swine Flu Vaccinations?
By Dr. Anders Bruun Laursen
“…So, as you see, there is no confusion with regard to swine flu and bird flu viruses. But there is another important consideration: the role of squalene.
The average quantity of squalene injected into the US soldiers abroad and at home in the anthrax vaccine during and after the Gulf War was 34.2 micrograms per billion micrograms of water. According to one study, this was the cause othe Gulf War syndrom in 25% of 697.000 US personnel at home and abroad. (3). You can find this table of FDA analyses from the Gulf War lots on The Military Vaccine Resource Directory website (4)
a.. AVA 020 – 11 ppb squalene (parts per billion)
> b.. AVA 030 – 10 ppb squalene
> c.. AVA 038 – 27 ppb squalene
> d.. AVA 043 – 40 ppb squalene
> e.. AVA 047 – 83 ppb squalene
These values were confirmed by Prof. R. F. Garry (5) before the House of Representatives. Prof Garry was the man to discover the connection between the Gulf War syndrome and squalene.
According to his findings, the Gulf War syndrome was caused by squalene, which was banned by a Federal Court Judge in 2004 from the PentagonZs use. (6)
As seen on p. 6 of this EMEA document (7), the Pandremix vaccine contains 10,68 mg of squalene per 0,5 ml. This corresponds to 2.136.0000 microgrammes pr. billion microgrammes of water, i.e. one million times more squalene per dose than in (4). There is any reason to believe that this will make people sick to a much higher extent than in 1990/91. This appears murderous to me.”

Then, in looking for some confirmation on Novartis putting gp 120 (an HIV/AIDS protein) in their vaccines, I found the following…
The Vaccine May Be More Dangerous Than Swine Flu
By Dr Russell Blaylock
http://socioecohistory.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/dr-russell-blaylock-
vaccine-may-be-more-dangerous-than-swine-flu/
“…Novartis, the second contender, also has an agreement with WHO for a pandemic vaccine. Novartis appears to have won the contract, since their vaccine is near completion. What is terrifying is that these pandemic vaccines contain ingredients, called immune adjuvants that a number of studies have shown cause devastating autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus.
Animal studies using this adjuvant have found them to be deadly. A study using 14 guinea pigs found that when they were injected with the special adjuvant, only one animal survived. A repeat of the study found the same deadly outcome.
So, what is this deadly ingredient? It is called squalene, a type of oil. The Chiron company, maker of the deadly anthrax vaccine, makes an adjuvant called MF-59 which contains two main ingredients of concern-squalene and gp120. A number of studies have shown that squalene can trigger all of the above-mentioned autoimmune diseases when injected.
The MF-59 adjuvant has been used in several vaccines. These vaccines, including tetanus and diphtheria, are the same vaccines frequently associated with adverse reactions.
I reviewed a number of studies on this adjuvant and found something quite interesting. Several studies done on human test subjects found MF-59 to be a very safe immune adjuvant. But when I checked to see who did these studies, I found-to no surprise-that they were done by the Novartis Pharmaceutical Company and Chiron Pharmaceutical Company, which have merged. They were all published in “prestigious” medical journals. Also, to no surprise, a great number of studies done by independent laboratories and research institutions all found a strong link between MF-59 and autoimmune diseases.
Squalene in vaccines has been strongly linked to the Gulf War Syndrome. On August 1991, Anthony Principi, Secretary of Veterans Affairs admitted that soldiers vaccinated with the anthrax vaccine from 1990 to 1991 had an increased risk of 200 percent in developing the deadly disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease. The soldiers also suffered from a number of debilitating and life-shortening diseases, such as polyarteritis nodosa, multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, transverse myelitis (a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord), endocarditis (inflammation of the heart’s inner lining), optic neuritis with blindness and glomerulonephritis (a type of kidney disease).
The second ingredient, and one that greatly concerns me, is called gp120, a glycoprotein. Researchers found when it was mixed with squalene, the glycoprotein became strongly antigenic – that is, it produced a powerful and prolonged immune response to the vaccination. In fact, their studies show that with each dose, the intense immune reaction lasts over a year.
Now for the shocker-the glycoprotein-gp120, a major component of MF-59 vaccine adjuvant, is the same protein fragment isolated from HIV – the virus that is responsible for the rapid dementia seen in AIDS patients.
Studies have shown that when gp120 is taken up by the microglia cells in the brain, it causes intense inflammation and makes the brain subject to excitotoxic damage-a process called immunoexcitotoxicity. This is also the cause of the MS and optic neuritis associated with vaccines that contain MF-59.
So, how would the gp120 get into the brain? Studies of other immune adjuvants using careful tracer techniques have shown that they routinely enter the brain following vaccination. What most people do not know, even the doctors who recommend the vaccines, is that most such studies by pharmaceutical companies observe the patients for only one to two weeks following vaccination-these types of reactions may take months or even years to manifest.
It is obvious that the vaccine manufacturers stand to make billions of dollars in profits from this WHO/government-promoted pandemic. Novartis, the maker of the new pandemic vaccine, recently announced that they would not give free vaccines to impoverished nations-everybody pays.
One must keep in mind that once the vaccine is injected, there is little you can do to protect yourself-at least by conventional medicine. It will mean a lifetime of crippling illness and early death.
There are much safer ways to protect oneself from this flu virus, such as higher doses of vitamin D3, selective immune enhancement using supplements, and a good diet.” End of excerpt by Dr. Blaylock.
