Reign of Fire: Meteorites, Wildfires, Planetary Chaos and the Sixth Extinction

‘Damn you al-qaeda!’ An American flag waves in front of a house leveled by the Waldo Canyon fire in the Mountain Shadows community in Colorado Springs, Colorado, 2 July 2012

Over the past 18 months, we’ve been growing increasingly concerned for the future of all life on planet earth. Sure, the signs that things have been going ‘south’ have been there for some time, but our concern began in earnest at the very beginning of 2011, when masses of birds began to fall dead from the sky around the world. The phenomenon continued for several months, and birds around the world are still dying for officially unknown reasons. None of the dead birds showed any sign of disease, but in several incidents birds were found to have ‘external injuries’ like they had been “hit by some kind of blunt instrument”. All sorts of explanations for the deaths were offered (like fireworks or birds colliding with each other) including the predictable attempts by ‘science experts’ to downplay any significance to the bizarre deaths. But among the flurry of speculation, one report stood out.

NewsChannel5 Chief Meteorologist Mark Johnson decided to take a look at the the Doppler radar images from Beebe, Arkansas from the night when many red-winged blackbirds had fallen dead to the ground, and he discovered something interesting.

“There it was. This huge plume of turbulence over the Beebe birds just as they began their frenzied flight,” Johnson said.

The turbulence appears above the birds between about 7,000 and 12,000 feet. Johnson realized there are only a few possible explanations for this phenomena.

Having homed in on the probable cause, Johnson then introduced some nonsense:

“Birds don’t fly that high, and he quickly ruled out military action, a sonic boom, meteor shower or alien invasion.”

While we can understand why Johnson ruled out military action or a sonic boom (there were no flights over the area at the time), Johnson never explained why he ruled out a “meteor shower”, although we can understand the inclusion of “alien invasion” – to ridicule by association the idea of a “meteor shower” or other meteorite-related phenomenon.

Johnson then went on to say:

“Something in the atmosphere, something mysterious, occurred over Beebe, Arkansas that night… And I believe it was part of what caused those birds to fly and then die.”

Indeed, but with the answer staring him in the face, Johnson lost the plot completely:

Johnson’s research captured an unseen temperature reversal just above the birds’ roosting area at about 1,500 feet above the ground. This temperature “inversion” acted like a megaphone, amplifying all the noises that occurred in Beebe at that time. As the fireworks exploded, the sound was amplified by the inversion and became much louder than normal. This appears to have startled the birds so much that they burst into flight, running into each other, and nearby buildings. Thousands of the now-disoriented birds then crashed to the ground, dying from blunt force trauma.

The Doppler radar image used by Johnson to explain the bird deaths. We have added the blue-green arrow to illustrate the trajectory of a meteor reaching that altitude before exploding in the lower atmosphere.

Temperature reversal? At 1,500 feet? But previously Johnson stated that the ‘turbulence’ occurred between 7,000 and 12,000 feet. He even produced a graph of the Doppler radar images that shows this. While temperature inversion does occur and can amplify sound, when birds are startled by noise they don’t generally fly into each other and buildings in large numbers. What’s most likely, is that the bird deaths of January 2011 (and later) were caused by an overhead meteorite or comet fragment (MoCF) explosion, with either the actual shock wave killing the birds (through blunt force trauma) or associated electrical effects ‘frying’ their ‘circuits’. This electrical effect can also explain the massive fish die-offs around the same time. Consider this report, just in today, about two children being mysteriously electrocuted to death as they swam in a lake in Missouri on 4th July. The thousands of dead fish found upstream from Beebe on New Year’s Eve 2010 could well have had their circuits fried because of significant electrical discharge that accompanied the overhead MoCF airburst. Now check out this Tunguska blast simulation by Sandia lab. An incoming bolide exploding overhead would knock the wind out of anything within a radius relative to the extent of its blast. It would probably knock airplanes out of the sky too – more on that below.

Why do we say that the MoCF explanation is the ‘most likely’? Mainly because of the truly massive increase in MoCF sightings and overhead detonations (‘booms’) over the past number of years. Hardly a week has gone by in the past few years without a reported fireball sighting or unexplained booms rocking houses around the world. In the months prior to and after the bird and fish deaths in January 2011, many such events were reported. Check out Sott.net’s fireballs and meteorites blog for further evidence.

So 2011 got off to a very disturbing start, and the rest of the year certainly offered the entire world a chance to sit up and take further notice. But did anyone take it?

There was the “worst storm ever” cyclone Yasi that pummeled Eastern Australia, there was the massive New Zealand earthquake, the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami in Japan and the resulting nuclear reactor disaster (that is ongoing) and the massive eruption of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex in Chile.

There was weird weather all over the place, starting with major freezes and snow storms in the US, UK and Asia and later in the year unprecedented flooding in the US, the UK and China. Earthquakes happen quite often, as do cyclones and volcanic eruptions, but when was the last time that our planet experienced such a confluence of extreme events in a single year? More to the point, what does it all portend? Speaking of earthquakes, did you know that, according to USGS data, there were 103 5.0+ earthquakes detected worldwide between 1980-1999 and there were 366 5.0+ earthquakes detected world-wide between 2000-2011?

As you might (or should) have noticed, the fun didn’t end on December 31st 2011. Bizarrely, on the exact same date as the previous year, another boatload of birds fell dead in Beebe, Arkansas in 2012, and another radar image showed a “large mass over Beebe” just before the birds fell. Lightning can strike the same place twice, and so, apparently, can overhead MoCF explosions.

In the first six months of 2012, we’ve had more freezing weather across the northern hemisphere, with snow as far south as the Sahara desert in February. Summer arrived early in late March in Europe and the Eastern US (for a couple of weeks) and then promptly reverted back to winter with serious implications for this year’s crops. This was followed by major flooding in the UK with virtually unprecedented tornadoes and ‘super-cell’ storms. Standard meteorology blames this chaotic weather on the strange motion of the polar Jet stream, which has been repeatedly pushing south and bringing cold fronts to lower latitudes than normal, but standard meteorology either does not know, or refuses to admit, why the polar Jet Stream is behaving strangely.

In large part, earth’s climate is governed by solar (and other cosmic) radiation. This radiation reaches us as charged particles from sunspots, solar flares, filaments, coronal holes, etc. These particles have a direct effect on earth’s magnetic field which, in turn, affects the currents of our oceans and Jet Streams, which in turn can cause extreme weather and influence human behavior. While we can observe solar eruptions, etc. much of this radiation is hidden from us and we are left to infer the presence of, or an increase in, such radiation from the effects it has on our planet. Given the chaos that has been reigning on earth for the past few years, we can infer that we are indeed being bombarded with high levels of solar and cosmic radiation. Suffice to say that our planet’s climate appears to be gearing up for a radical change, most likely in the form of a new ice age. As recently discovered, the last ice age imposed itself on the Northern hemisphere within the space of a few months.

To get an idea of just how chaotic life has become on planet earth, consider this list of events from just the past two months of 2012.

In June, the US was subjected to both record high temperatures AND record LOW temperatures. The US East coast was battered in late June by sudden and violent storms that left millions without power for a week or more, while simultaneously, further west in Colorado, major wildfires “broke out”. Throughout it all, sightings of MoCFs and recordings of overhead ‘booms’ have continued on an almost daily basis. (See this link for the truly shocking number of fireballs and meteorite sightings in April, May and June 2012 alone).

Tsunami in Japan, March 2011. Two major devastating tsunamis within seven years is clearly pointing to something extraordinary happening.

For example, on June 20th a daylight fireball dazzled Colorado residents as firefighters battled the Springer fire near Lake George in the Pike National Forest in Colorado, one of many out of control, ‘apocalyptic‘ and ‘epic‘ forest fires that have torched suburban neighbourhoods in Colorado Springs. Hundreds of homes have burned to the ground and tens of thousands have been forced to evacuate.

This was one of those “supposedly rare daytime fireballs” (in fact, it was the fourth – that we know of – seen in the US this year), which startled the hell out of firefighters across the state when it careened out of the smoky sky and all aircraft were temporarily grounded. Firefighting aircraft were again grounded on 1st July when a C-130 crashed fighting fires in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The US Air Force immediately ordered all seven of its remaining air tankers to land. There was no suggestion of ‘foul play’ from MoCFs on this occasion, but just as we were wondering whether or not immediately grounding planes in the event of MoCF sightings has become a matter of policy, we came across the following exercise in damage control. The “final technical report” into why Air France flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic in May 2009 was released today (5th July). The timing of the release of this report, the careful management of news related to this event, the constant obfuscation of the real causes of the crash and the delayed investigations that have taken three years just to tell us it was caused by a combination of “human error” and “technical problems”, add serious weight to the conclusion Joe Quinn drew from his analysis in the aftermath of the crash: that Flight 447 was probably destroyed by an MoCF.

Of the June 20th daytime sighting, Chaffee County sheriff W. Peter Palmer received several reports that an MoCF actually hit the ground. Chaffee County Fire Protection District Chief Jim Wingert expressed concern that a piece of the MoCF could start a wildfire. Meteors were seen all over the Midwest, with some reports coming several hours apart, so the earlier reports that the Midwest was hit with a barrage of fireballs seem more accurate than the later ‘confirmation’ that a single MoCF had shown up. Two commercial aircraft crews reported an incoming MoCF from their vantage point above Kansas, while the Denver Post reported “balls of fire or something in the air”.

A large boom was also reported over Colorado recently so another possibility is that a single larger body exploded, showering multiple bolides across a wide area. This Associated Press report comes straight out and states that the MoCF(s) actually started one of the blazes in Colorado. At this point, it seems plausible that all or most of these wildfires were sparked by fireballs raining down from above. Perhaps birds and fish are not the only creatures in the firing line and humans are not so special after all.

If these fires were ignited by ‘heavenly fire’ the fact that journalists (including this one in Nevada who was actually arrested on-site) have been barred from the devastated zones becomes more understandable. Compounding our suspicion that the US government is racing to put out more than just forest fires is this impeccably timed dispatch from the official ‘al Qaeda magazine’ Inspire, in which the CIA’s favourite ‘terrorists’ called for jihadists of the world to “torch forests as part of the Islamic war against the West.” The Department of Homeland Security apparently had their story planned in advance, claiming that for more than a decade “international terrorist groups and associated individuals have expressed interest in using fire as a tactic against the Homeland to cause economic loss, fear, resource depletion, and humanitarian hardship.” Pretty coincidental, eh? Those ‘al-qaeda’ terrorists really are very useful.

Meanwhile COINTELPRO has been set to work helping the US government deceive the alt.net community with the usual garbage about super-secret (sic) scalar weapons, plasma weapons and HAARP being tested on unwitting Coloradans.

Looking at what was in store for humanity in 2012, Laura Knight-Jadczyk wrote the following in an article published by Sott.net on New Year’s Eve 2011: “There is also the possibility of overhead cometary explosions being blamed on terrorism.” So here we are, at the halfway mark of 2012, hearing reports that a bolide (or multiple ones) were responsible for the Colorado fires, followed by ‘al Qaeda’ and the Department of Homeland Security playing their respective roles to ‘warn’ the sheeple that terrorists are planning large-scale wildfires attacks near densely populated areas across the US.

The extent of fires across the US Midwest, 3 July 2012

With fires currently raging from Montana to the Mexican border, fireballs are probably not responsible for igniting all of them. But the tinderbox conditions on the ground are eerily reminiscent of the descriptions of suffocating heat, “spontaneous fires” and “electrical phenomena” during the Chicago Fire (which actually consumed swathes of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois) in 1871, when debris from the tail-end of a comet combined with drought conditions to produce devastating fires in which buildings “burst into flames from the interior“.

It’s not coincidental that these sudden and extreme heatwaves accompanied by unusually intense electrical storms – in which the sky itself appears aflame – are punctuated with multiple fireball sightings. There doesn’t need to be a comet passing close by at this point in time. ‘Shooting stars’ aka ‘meteor showers’ are Earth’s periodic encounters with dust and debris left behind by comets (or long since disintegrated comets) whose orbits intersect our flight path. With so many unexpected and rare fireballs being seen in the skies, it’s safe to assume that we are passing through a lot more cometary debris than ‘normal’ and that it sure is getting awfully busy in our skies. The mainstream media has basically ignored the warning signs for the past decade, but with fireballs now pelting the planet at an alarming rate, they are having to engage the issue.

One of the themes of the Cassiopaean information, brought up during research that extends back to the 1990s, is planetary destruction via a Comet Cluster that cycles through the solar system every 3,600 years as a consequence of the orbit of our Sun’s solar Companion, a smaller, dark Twin Sun, which has set a current running through our solar system and is now producing the noticeable effects – the same pehomena which the geological record shows always precede the advent of an Ice Age. The theory of a solar companion is in fact very mainstream and plausible. Although teams of scientists are trying to locate the Sun’s companion, such research has become heavily classified since the US military announced a blackout on scientists’ access to satellite data on incoming space rocks, so we don’t expect to see headlines announcing its discovery anytime soon.

The Powers That Be will do whatever it takes to prevent the people from realising that there is absolutely nothing big government or their international money masters can do about the cosmic wheels that are now in motion and that present a clearly existential threat to ALL life on earth. In ancient times the instinctive need for ‘Authoritarian Followers‘ to put their trust and faith in an authority was connected to religion – the leaders were authorized by the gods and were society’s representative to the gods. When things got bad, societies regularly got rid of the leaders that they saw as NOT being approved by the gods. That is, in any society, the leaders fill a ritual role and when the people perceive that the ritual is not the right one, out goes the leader. That’s why ‘terrorists’ and the threat of war and conflict are so useful to governments today. The established authorities can keep the people dependent on them for protection against a phony threat that they themselves have created. But cosmic bombardment and a sixth extinction from ‘on high’? There’s nothing they can do about that, and if the people finally realise that, they’ll drop their dependency on, and allegiance to, authority in a heart-beat.

In a report commissioned by the US Air Force, British astronomer Victor Clube, author of The Cosmic Serpent and The Cosmic Winter, succinctly summarised the fundamental tenet of geopolitics:

“We do not need the celestial threat to disguise Cold War intentions; rather we need the Cold War to disguise celestial intentions!”

No, Clube wasn’t referring to aliens or spacecraft; the ‘celestial threat’ he was referring to appears in Earth’s skies during times of turmoil and social upheaval that are linked to a serious imbalance in human evolution. They also induce all kinds of weird environmental effects, the least of which are those strange sky sounds and other electromagnetic phenomena that are also picking up in frequency and intensity. Flooding the Internet with disinformation about chemtrails has convinced some that governments can master Nature’s most powerful forces. For everyone else, there’s always the ‘terrorist’ bogeyman and man-made global warming to remind them why they need Big Brother.

But the true purpose of the phony War on Terror is exposed by the recent bare naked attempt to cover up the real threat from space with the fake threat from al Qaeda. The fascist take-over of the planet this year, foreseen by Laura Knight-Jadczyk who exposed the real meaning of ‘the world will end in 2012’, is proving remarkably prescient:

If short-period bombardment of our planet by comets or comet dust is a reality (as it increasingly appears to be); and the effects of such an event are deleterious in the extreme; and if we are in fact overdue for a repeat performance of such a visitation (which also appears to be the case); what effect might public awareness of this have on the status quo on the planet at present? Would the bogus “war on terror” not become instantly obsolete and would people across the planet not immediately demand that their political leaders reassess priorities and take whatever action possible to mitigate the threat? And if those political leaders refused to do so and it became known that that this grave threat to the lives of billions was long-standing and common knowledge among the political elite (with all that that implies), what then? Revolution? One last hurrah before the 6th extinction?

Who knows. We only know that this knowledge, in its fullest explication, is being suppressed and marginalized.

The fact of the matter is that our planet and everything on it comprises an intelligent and living system that has designed into it a mechanism through which any imbalance in any aspect of the system can be dealt with. Consider the way in which animal populations are naturally kept in check via predators or disease. This mechanism is designed to protect the overall system and prevent any one aspect from compromising the evolutionary goals of the system itself. Humans have evolved to the point where they have no natural predators, and while disease still kills many human beings each year, modern medicine has succeeded (so far) in preventing a pandemic from wiping out the human race. But it would be foolhardy for anyone to think that the ‘living system’ has overlooked human beings when it comes to redressing any imbalance caused by human beings that threatens the aim of the overall living system. We trust that what we have written here provides ample evidence that it has not.

We also hope that it is fairly clear that human beings, as a species on planet earth, have reached a point of serious imbalance, both in terms of their effect on the planet and on other living beings on it, and in terms of humanity’s own proper evolution which can be defined as evolution in knowledge and consciousness. Clearly, humanity today has stalled in its evolution. Indeed it appears to be back-sliding at an alarming rate, due primarily to the influence of the deviant ideology spread by psychopaths in positions of power around the world. We need only consider the fact that billions of people today have bought into and support the lie that is the psychopathic ‘war on terror’, which has as its goal the murder and domination of as many innocent people as possible. What does that fact alone (among many other deceptions that people have bought in to) say about the level of knowledge and awareness of the human race as a whole?

Happy belated Independence Day to our American readers, we hope everyone enjoyed the fireworks, whatever their provenance.
