1 Page 1 of 12 The Issue 396, Sunday May 4, 2014 Weekly news and views from around the world and beyond. New ZetaTalk Earth Changes Announcements Signs of the Times Korea Ferry Disaster What caused the Korean ferry Sewol to tilt and swamp in the cold seas in the early morning hours of April 15, 2014? Since there was no hole in the hull, the tilt was blamed on a sharp turn of the wheel causing cargo to shift. Per the Zetas, this is another case of a ship disaster caused by the violent daily Earth wobble. Six Dead, 290 Missing in S. Korea Ferry Sinking April 16, The cause of the accident was not immediately clear, although rescued passengers reported the ferry coming to a sudden, shuddering halt - indicating it may have run aground. South Korea Investigates Ferry Captain; 9 Dead, 287 Missing April 17, The ferry listed and capsized in an area of the ocean as shallow as 20 meters (66 feet) in some parts, based on readings from a coast guard vessel used in the rescue operation. The ferry appears to have sailed on the route approved by the coast guard. The coast guard received the accident alert from the ferry at 8:58 am.

2 Page 2 of 12 South Korea Ferry Disaster: Rapid Direction Change, Route Deviation may be Cause April 17, The Coast Guard investigators suspect that the ship changed directly too quickly, causing cargo to come loose and push the vessel off balance. The site of the accident is said to be near the point where ships on the Incheon-Jejudo route change directions. The Sewol only appeared to have turned sharply north, as it was pushed in that direction and tipped by a tide caused by the Earth wobble, a type of localized tsunami. Water moves independently from the land. When the daily polar push shoves the Earth s N Pole back over the horizon, the land moves, but the seas do not. This creates a void along the coastline facing the south, until the seas rush back in to fill the void. Where this would merely be a strong tide along a smooth coastline, in a region of small islands and rocky outcroppings, the tides swirl about, rushing this way and that. The Zetas explain. ZetaTalk Explanation 4/19/2014: Why was the Sewol thrown north from its channel when the polar push is throwing the land under the water to the north? Would the ferry, floating on the water, not find itself on water to the south? There is a reaction in displaced water, especially along a coastline where a void can form. As Korea moved north, the water, which is independent from the land, remained in place, creating a temporary void along the coastline. The water to the south then rushed in a strong tide to fill this void, carrying the ferry with it

3 Page 3 of 12 like so much flotsam on the water. The Sewol disaster will be blamed on shifting cargo, ultimately blamed on the crew, as the Earth wobble cannot yet be explained by the establishment. Two prior incidents that hit the news were also caused by the Earth wobble, though this was never officially admitted. The Costa Concordia cruise ship found the ground suddenly moving under the ship on January 15, The Costa Concordia was in the bay to the south of the rock, when the rock suddenly moved under it. The Costa Concordia accident occurred at 8:00 pm, when the polar push was happening on the opposite side of the globe. If Korea finds the globe suddenly moving northward, Italy finds it suddenly moving southward. ZetaTalk Explanation 1/21/2012: Europe also participates when the most violent push of the wobble occurs, when the Sun is high over the Pacific and Europe is in the dead of night. The globe is pushed violently north as the magnetic N Pole of Earth comes up over the horizon and is pushed away by Planet X. When this happens the globe is pushed southward on the opposite side of the globe, as the globe rolls as one. What does this do to the rocky shores of Italy and any hapless ships moored or traveling just off the coast? The land is pushed under the water, and the ship suddenly finds itself on rocks it thought safely at a distance. The Sewol incident is also not the first for Korea. On January 15, 2012, the same day as the Costa Concordia accident, an oil tanker was thrown against the rocks along the southwest coastline of S Korea just north of Jawol Island. Note the similarity in time with the Sewol disaster! Jawol Island happened at 8:00 am, and the Sewol disaster at 8:58 am.

4 Page 4 of 12 ZetaTalk Explanation 2/4/2012: At 8:00 am in South Korea, the Sun is high over the Pacific, just the location for the strong polar push of the wobble, sending the emerging magnetic N Pole of Earth back over the horizon. This is the time when the globe is shoved north in the Pacific Rim, which would indeed cause the undersea landscape just 3 miles north of Jawol Island to shove under and tear apart the oil tanker. This is of course the same global push that occurred in Italy to the Costa Concordia, when the undersea landscape moved suddenly south on that side of the globe to gash its side, late in the evening. On opposite sides of the globe, on opposite sides of the clock, both victims of the same global wobble. GLONASS Failure Yet another indication of the increased wobble is the GLONASS outage. GLONASS is equivalent to the GPS system maintained by the US, using geostationary satellites that speak to one another, forming a net around the globe. GLONASS had an outage on April 2, which hit one or another of its satellites so that the entire GLONASS network could not function until these outages ceased. Then on April 15, another larger outage. That these are repeating outages indicates that the human factor excuse, a programming error, is a lie, part of a cover-up. Coincidentally, the second outage on April 15 coincides with the wobble disaster in Korean, the ferry Sewol tipping over. Per the Zetas, the GLONASS outage is another piece of evidence that the Earth wobble has increased in violence and scope. GLONASS System has Suffered a Major Failure April 15, Eight satellites Glonass navigation system both went out for half an hour last night. This is the second failure in the system from the beginning of the month. Problems started a few minutes before the morning on April 15. Spacecraft number number 747, 743, 717, 737, 738, 720, 732 and 735 show signs of "unhealthy" in their ephemeris (satellite position data in space). This condition persisted for half an hour, said the informationanalytical center of Roscosmos. This is the second state of emergency in the GLONASS system in two weeks. On April it has failed for more than 10 hours. Spacecraft were given incorrect information about its location and therefore provide consumers the wrong navigation information. An error occurred while virtually all vehicles. As explained by the "Interfax" a source in the space industry, then the problem was caused by the "human factor " - the program tab on board vehicles incorrect data. April 11, it became known that a group of GLONASS satellites are 22 of the necessary apparatus 24. Therefore, the system is not yet able to provide coverage of the entire Earth navigation signal. For

5 Page 5 of 12 uninterrupted availability of the GLONASS system anywhere in the world need to work 24 spacecraft. Navigation support for customers in Russia rather work 18 vehicles. GLONASS Gone then Back April 2, Bad ephemerides were uploaded to satellites. Those bad ephemerides became active at 1:00 am Moscow time, reported one knowledgeable source. For every GNSS in orbit, the navigation messages include ephemeris data, used to calculate the position of each satellite in orbit, and information about the time and status of the entire satellite constellation (almanac); this data is processed by user receivers on the ground to compute their precise position. ZetaTalk Insight 4/5/2014: Was this, as is being reported in some media, merely a bad ephemerides passed to the satellites or is this a cover story? It is clear that the mass outage was due to some of the satellites in the network being disabled, as all must be operational for the network to operate. But it is also clear from the graph that satellite failure was transient, and this failure moved from one satellite to another and did not linger on an affected satellite. And if a programming error was the cause, they why did this situation repeat during the month of April? Were the GLONASS programmers repeatedly drunk? This GLONASS failure was due to some of the satellites being affected by the Earth wobble, moved out of position temporarily by uneven air pressure in the upper atmosphere caused by layers of the atmosphere being dragged about by the wobbling globe. Air pressure sorts itself out in time, high pressure disbursing to low pressure regions, so the satellite floats back to its

6 Page 6 of 12 assumed position and comes back online. Else why would a given satellite in the network be affected, and then not, if its programming were the cause of an outage? Blood Moons In yet another coincidence with the April 15, 2014 date, the first in a series of Blood Moons occurred this on April 15. Blood Moons are a natural lunar eclipse result, and on occasion run in a set, as is occurring again for Jewish holidays which normally are scheduled around a Full Moon thus coincide with a Blood Moon, but there is likewise no particular significance in this synchronicity. Nor, per the Zetas, are the Blood Moons the blood red moon predicted in the Bible for the Apocalypse. Four Blood Moons: Total Lunar Eclipse Series Not a Sign of Apocalypse April 9, So while a tetrad of total lunar eclipses is somewhat rare, it is not extraordinarily so, and probably nothing to make a fuss about. After all, the only thing that happens during a lunar eclipse is that the moon spends a couple of hours passing through the Earth's shadow, hardly something to be concerned about. Revelation 6:12-14 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day. Joel 2:31

7 Page 7 of 12 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. ZetaTalk Comment 4/12/2014: Biblical verses predict a Blood Moon prior to the next Apocalypse, which is the pending passage of Nibiru. Given that a passage involves red dust turning ponds and rivers blood red, and given that this red dust is wafting about the Earth during the passage, putting a thick layer in front of the Moon, is this merely a prophecy depicting the red dust during the Last Weeks and hour of the Pole Shift? At no point in the Biblical prophecies is there an indication for a series of Blood Moons. If anything, the color of the Moon is not described as a fleeting color, as occurs during an eclipse, but lingering for days. The Biblical passages are thus not referring to a series of eclipses in , but to the passage itself. What is to be made, then, of the Jewish holidays lining up with the Blood Moons in ? Sukkot is a Full Moon holiday and is scheduled thus for the Full Moon, as is the Passover. It is not that the Tetrad of Blood Moons magically lined up with the Jewish holidays, it is that the Jewish holidays lined up with the Full Moons. Earth Orientation Graphs Since the start of 2014, the mapping of the Earth s polar orientation done by IERS has changed. The focal points for determining the Earth s x and y coordinates during the year are on the Meridian and various points on the Equator, as this Japanese presentation shows. What is Polar Motion?

8 Page 8 of 12 The angles which characterize the direction of the rotational pole within the Earth are called the polar coordinates, x and y. Variation in these coordinates is called polar motion. The polar coordinates measure the position of the Earth's instantaneous pole of rotation in a reference frame which is defined by the adopted locations of terrestrial observatories. The coordinate x is measured along the 0 (Greenwich) meridian while the coordinate y is measured along the 90 W meridian. International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) August The x-axis is in the direction of the IERS Reference Meridian (IRM), the y-axis is in the direction 90 degrees West longitude. The daily Figure 8 of the Earth wobble has a lean to the right for the N Pole when the Sun is over India, and then a lean to the left for the N Pole when the Sun is high over Italy. This leaning has gotten more extreme since the start of But primarily it is the polar push, shoving the magnetic N Pole away when the Sun is high over the Pacific, that has affected IERS. The tilt of the Earth at this point equates to a Winter posture, and thus the lingering Polar Vortex experienced by eastern Canada and the eastern US this past Winter, but the bounce back of the N Pole and the swings to the right and left smooth out the overall climate for the globe. A keen eye d observer notes that the IERS polar motion graphs show this more extreme wobble, since the start of Would the Zetas like to comment on the following graph, depicting pole motion over the past year According to the graph, there has been a major and maintained shift since mid January '14 and it doesn't seem to be self-correcting. ZetaTalk Comment 4/5/2014: The polar motion graph presented for our comments is based on X, Y locations clearly affected by the Earth s seasons, making a circle during the year. Since the start of 2014, this circle has changed shape, indicating that the measurement point has not pulled southward as the Spring progressed, the Earth s geographic N Pole tilting

9 Page 9 of 12 toward the South, but rather remained as though in Winter. The wobble has worsened, as we have often mentioned, which means that the daily Figure 8 taken by the magnetic N Pole is pushed farther away, bounces back more aggressively, and the swings to the right and left are taking a wider swath. Planet X Looms Closer Most photos of the Planet X complex, regardless of filter, show only the brilliant Moon Swirls which appear as tubes when viewed from the side and as bright orbs when seen from the end, the sunlight bouncing down the tube to emerge at the end. Since 2003 Planet X itself has only been evident as a Second Sun when sunlight reflects off the closely shrouding dust cloud at the right angle at sunrise or sunset, or on occasion as a Monster Sun. Planet X itself, due to being so heavily shrouded in dust, is rarely captured in photos. The Earth is currently in the 8 of 10 posture (with 10 of 10 being the Pole Shift itself) with the increased visibility of the Planet X complex being predicted by the Zetas for the 8 of 10 evident. This prediction is based on the relative position of Planet X vs a vs the Earth, where Planet X is seen more to the right of the Sun, the Earth squeezed as far as possible to the left, and Planet X having progressed outbound from the Sun, thus having moved overall closer to the Earth. This movement is evident in Alberto s photos since late March where the tail now has a splayed appearance as it blows toward the Earth. Per the Zetas, the Earth is caught within the tail, where formerly was viewing it from afar.

10 Page 10 of 12 ZetaTalk Insight 4/5/2014: Why has the appearance of Alberto s photos changed to show a splay of the tail directly toward the Earth, rather than slung to the left as has been the mode for the past few years. When slung to the side, the tail with its individual Moon Swirls has been seen as long tubes or as bright orbs when the tubes were turned to focus light directly toward the Earth. This was recently apparent in the String of Pearls display, captured by Alberto. But what would happen if the tail were hosed more directly at the Earth? The long tubes and bright orbs would seem to disappear, while the debris in the tail would hose out in a splay. Imagine a fire hose of water seen from the side, and then seen when the hose is in your face. Why has this orientation changed, between the Earth and Planet X? We explained that during the 8 of 10, more visibility of Planet X could be expected. Planet X is approaching the Earth via a retrograde orbit, clockwise, where the Earth and all the other planets orbiting the Sun are orbiting in a counterclockwise manner. As Planet X proceeds past the Sun and outbound, it has pushed the Earth back in her halted orbit from the December position to the August position, and the Earth can go no further. While the Earth squeezes as far to the left as possible, in her trap, Planet X moves steadily outbound, coming closer to the Earth. Thus Planet X appears larger, closer, while at the same time further to the right. But the most dramatic proof that Planet X is now closer to the Earth comes from an April 15, 2014 photo capture by Alberto (using Mylar as a filter) wherein the corpus of Planet X itself is evident. It is not seen as a brilliant Moon Swirl, but rather as a heavily shrouded body. The Zetas explain why concentric rings are seen outbound from this shrouded body. Yet another April 15, 2014 synchronicity, this photo capture must be added to the Sewol disaster, the GLONASS outage, and the Blood Moon. Humm.

11 Page 11 of 12 ZetaTalk Explanation 4/19/2014: Alberto has noted a change in his photos. There seems to be a distinct orb at the 4 o clock position on an April 15 photo, which is itself reflecting sunlight as though it were partway between the Sun and the Earth. Is this Planet X itself?

12 Page 12 of 12 Unlike the Moon Swirls, which can focus light down a tube as though coming from the end of a flashlight, the Planet X halos are caused by an even distribution of light from the corpus itself. The shroud of dust clings closely, but rapidly becomes less thick at a distance from the corpus. At various points where the composition of this shroud changes, a ring is formed that will reflect and diffract light outbound from the corpus of Planet X.
