*** EARTH CRASH: DOCUMENTING THE COLLAPSE OF A DYING PLANET ***

Unknown Energy Surges Continue to Hit Planet; Global Weather Systems in
Chaos

December 22, 2004

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to the Russian Academy of Sciences

An increasingly panicked global effort is now underway by the world's top
scientists to understand an unprecedented series of 'blasts', energy surges,
which the planet has been taking from an as yet unknown source which has
been bombarding Antarctica with cosmic rays and disrupting Northern
Hemisphere weather systems on a global scale.

The first of these cosmic ray blasts occurred nearly 5 years ago and have
been increasing in their frequency and intensity since the end of November.
The once normally darkened skies of the Northern Hemisphere's Arctic regions
are now in twilight due to these blasts. Wayne Davidson, from the Canadian
Government's weather station at Resolute Bay, located in the Arctic Circle,
says about this mysterious lighting, "The entire horizon is raised like
magic, like the hand of God is bringing it up."

On December 1, 2004 the largest recorded blast sent not only shockwaves
through the world scientific community but also through the Northern
Hemisphere resulting in one of the largest weather events in recorded human
history when 86,800 square miles of China was shrouded in fog, bringing
transportation systems (especially air travel) to a virtual standstill
throughout the country.

As reported by the BBC in this article from October, 2002, "German
scientists have found a significant piece of evidence linking cosmic rays to
climate change. They have detected charged particle clusters in the lower
atmosphere that were probably caused by the space radiation. They say the
clusters can lead to the condensed nuclei which form into dense clouds."

These German scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Nuclear Physics in
Heidelberg go on to say that their measurements "have for the first time
detected in the upper troposphere large positive ions with mass numbers up
to 2500", and "Our observations provide strong evidence for the ion-mediated
formation and growth of aerosol particles in the upper troposphere."

What they hadn't expected to happen though has been the large- scale
occurrences of this over the past few weeks, to include China on December
2nd and 14th and then India on the 21st, which is due to both China's and
India's reliance on fossil fuels and the continuing degradation of their air
quality.

The effects of these blasts have also been felt throughout the rest of the
Northern Hemisphere resulting in such freak occurrences as, hurricane force
winds in Paris , Germany, Canada, Russia, England and the United States on
an almost simultaneous basis. Accompanying these hurricane force winter
winds have been the massive cold fronts following them dropping normal
winter lows to record lows throughout the entire Northern Hemisphere.

Though not yet at a point to acknowledge this publicly, some of the world's
top scientists are beginning to see an astrophysical correlation between
these cosmic ray blasts to our planet and an ever-increasing number of
global events relating to atmospheric explosions of inbound meteors, such as
those in Indonesia, where a meteorite was picked up by their Air Forces
radar, China, where a meteorite explosion turned 'night into day' and
Washington D.C. where one police official stated, "It looked like a ball of
fire falling out of the sky."

We're waiting to hear from Nick Begich, who has been investigating the
government's HAARP program for years.

Mass Extinction Underway, Majority of Biologists Say
Washington Post
Tuesday, April 21, 1998

By Joby Warrick
Staff Writer

A majority of the nation's biologists are convinced that a "mass extinction"
of plants and animals is underway that poses a major threat to humans in the
next century, yet most Americans are only dimly aware of the problem, a poll
says.

The rapid disappearance of species was ranked as one of the planet's gravest
environmental worries, surpassing pollution, global warming and the thinning
of the ozone layer, according to the survey of 400 scientists commissioned
by New York's American Museum of Natural History.

The poll's release yesterday comes on the heels of a groundbreaking study of
plant diversity that concluded than at least one in eight known plant
species is threatened with extinction. Although scientists are divided over
the specific numbers, many believe that the rate of loss is greater now than
at any time in history.

"The speed at which species are being lost is much faster than any we've
seen in the past -- including those [extinctions] related to meteor
collisions," said Daniel Simberloff, a University of Tennessee ecologist and
prominent expert in biological diversity who participated in the museum's
survey. [Note: the last mass extinction caused by a meteor collision was
that of the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago.]

Most of his peers apparently agree. Nearly seven out of 10 of the biologists
polled said they believed a "mass extinction" was underway, and an equal
number predicted that up to one-fifth of all living species could disappear
within 30 years. Nearly all attributed the losses to human activity,
especially the destruction of plant and animal habitats.

Among the dissenters, some argue that there is not yet enough data to
support the view that a mass extinction is occurring. Many of the estimates
of species loss are extrapolations based on the global destruction of rain
forests and other rich habitats.

Among non-scientists, meanwhile, the subject appears to have made relatively
little impression. Sixty percent of the laymen polled professed little or no
familiarity with the concept of biological diversity, and barely half ranked
species loss as a "major threat."

The scientists interviewed in the Louis Harris poll were members of the
Washington-based American Institute of Biological Sciences, a professional
society of more than 5,000 scientists.
