1 Today is December 21, According to the Maya Calendar our Earth will perish. In other words: Everything is over. Today, the neutron star Nemesis will reach the boundaries of the solar system. The Earth will not perish but from this day terrible global natural catastrophes will take place: earthquakes, floods, droughts, hurricanes, displacement of the Earth s axis, unknown illnesses and war. This will go on for about years, the end will come nearer step by step. Something noticeable will happen and then, on the seventh day, the neutron star Nemesis will turn up in the skies as a giant comet according to Nostradamus. Note that I in this context use available material and that I interpret it according to my knowledge. The symbols Alfa and Omega are also quite often used in Christianity, especially on various persons coats of arms. Examples are coats of arms of bishops, arch bishops, cardinals and even some papal coats of arms which are preserved with the symbols Alpha & Omega, among them the coat of arms of Pope Sergius III ( ). SERGIUS III Above are some personal Christian coats of arms, symbolizing Alpha & Omega, Omega indicating the End. Even the Bible often refers to Omega, the End, i.e. the End of religion. Note that all Alpha & Omega symbols also represent religion in the fullness of time. is a symbol of the End

2 The Comet Nemesis Its symbol is a five-pointed star with a tail Comets are also connected to the End, natural catastrophes. In the Christian religion comets often appear as symbols on various personal coats of arms of, for example, bishops, arch bishops, cardinals and there are even some papal coats of arms preserved, displaying the comets: Pope John XIX ( ), Innocent VII ( ), Gregory XVI ( ), Leo XIII ( ) and Cardinal August Hlond ( ). John XIX, After the year 1000, in 1024, Pope John XIX was elected pope. His personal coat of arms is an illustration of the comet Nemesis as it passes in the sky and its strong magnetic field will also affect the Earth. The comet is a symbol of the fullness of time. The Vatican already knew about the neutron star which was on its way to our solar system. During John s pontificate the world got to see his personal, papal coat of arms. Everybody was afraid of comets since they bring misery and natural catastrophes. His coat of arms is an illustration of the fullness of time. Innocent VII, ( ) 206, 47. From a Better Star The next comet turns up on Innocent VII s papal and personal coat of arms in The coat of arms is an illustration of an eight-pointed star as a comet. St. Malachy writes about him: From a better star. What does this mean? According to Malachy the pope comes from a betters tar. The better star in this context is the neutron star Nemesis. This means that he has his origins on planet Nibiru, one of the seven planets orbiting the star Nemesis. His papal name was Innocent VII. If I interpret this correctly, we have a pope coming from another star reaching the boundaries of our solar system today, December 21, His coat of arms is an illustration of his origins and the fullness of time.

3 Gregory XVI ( ) 256,100 From the Baths of Tuscany Leo XIII ( ) 258, 102 Light in the Sky Cardinal August Hlond, The comet as a symbol appears during the pontificates of Gregory XVI and Leo XIII. More info at Akhenaten page 36. Cardinal Hlond s coat of arms from Poland is also an illustration of the fullness of time. It is an illustration of, among other things, a comet and John the Baptist s head. It was he who was the first to announce the future Kingdom of Heaven as a star about 2000 years ago. This Kingdom of Heaven is another solar system which, during Cardinal Hlod s, time in office, was on its way to our solar system. John the Baptist was a reincarnation of, among others, Julius Caesar. Later on he was also reincarnated in Árpád and vitéz Kemény Simon. More info at Nero, Fright and Poet, Obscure Magyar and Ancient Persia and its Secrets p. 9. It is general knowledge that when catastrophes occur, people approach the church because of fear. The idea of the comet as a coat of arms is to tell the public that the catastrophes are God s punishment, the wrath of God, since people have turned against the church and sinned. Christianity calls the people a Flock of Sheep (a united people without knowledge) so there is a chance, the church believes is, that people return to church on the return of Nemesis. Later popes eagerly look forward to Nemesis s return, they have been doing this since the beginning of the Holy See, during 2000 years. The Vatican both observes and waits for Nemesis s return. Let us see how the Holy See follows this development. Binary Star System The Sun, the so-called proton-proton-chain/main sequence star. Living star Neutron star Nemesis, Dying star Top-level Science Christian religion has two sides. One side is top-level science. The other, dark side, is the lie as fairytales focused on violence, terror and war. Antipope Alexander V s coat of arms is double-sided. Partly a scientific message at a very high scientific level, partly a religious message not for the flock of sheep. I will now analyze the antipope s special coat of arms a bit closer. This coat of arms is the only and most remarkable one of all papal coats of arms.

4 Alexander V, Antipope ( ) 49. Whip of the Sun proton+ neutron The Sun s symbol is a lion, a male symbol. The 6-pointed star is a symbol of David. Origins: The Lion Marduk. This coat of arms is an illustration of an 8-pointed star with eight smaller 6-pointed stars in orbit. The symbolic 8-pointed neutron star has a much stronger magnetic field than the sun and causes natural catastrophes. A false lion, a symbolic lion, a female symbol. The 8-pointed neutron star is a symbol of the Virgin/the Lamb. Origins: The Dragon/Serpent Tiamat, Inanna. Marduk s 6- pointed star, a Sun symbol. Inanna s 8-pointed star, a Nemesis symbol Inanna with the V sign.

5 These two lions can be found on the coats of arms of many popes. I chose some coats of arms in this context. Felix III Gregory I Gregory the Great, Gregory II Formosus Gregory VI Anastasius IV ( ) 170, 4. Suburran Abbot Honorius III ( ) 179, 16. Canon from the Side Honorius IV ( ) 192, 29. Out of the Leonine Rose John XXII ( ) From a Bony Cobbler Adrian VI ( ) 220, 64. Florentian Lion Pius IX ( ) 257, 101 Cross from Cross It is a fact that Christianity was founded assisted by top-level science and people, not God/animals. The front side of Christianity is connected to the centre of the Milky Way. Everything has its time and its boundaries. This side is not for the Flock of sheep. The reverse side is dark and is a fairytale of violence, war and terror and this side is suitable for the flock of sheep, via the Gospels.

6 The Comet Nemesis The comet s symbol is a five-pointed star with a tail ISS The five-pointed star with the tail, an emblem connected to STS and ISS missions. The comet is an important symbol for the cooperation between NASA and its allies concerning outer space research. I have chosen a number of emblems connected to the space programs of STS and ISS concerning the discovery of the neutron star, its location and arrival. STS-41G, October 5, 1984 The first comet emblem

7 We'll mention once more, since it is the most popular one mentioned on the internet. It involved a statement made by some NASA scientists following the launch and retrieved data from IRAS, the infrared detection satellite that was launched back in A story ran in the Washington Post on December 30, 1983 with the headline, Possibly as Large as Jupiter; Mystery Heavenly Body Discovered. Written by Thomas O'Toole it read as follows: In the US, as early as in 1983, we could read that a so-called heavenly body/planet X had been discovered. The discovery obviously follows the space programs and space research of STS and ISS. The second comet emblem appeared in 1992 connected to the space journey of STS- 53. The emblem depicts an eagle holding a star in its claws, a newly discovered star outside our solar system. The star can be called neutron star Nemesis or Planet X. A confirmation STS-53, December 2, 1992 STS-54 January 19, 1993 STS-54, January 19, 1993 STS-61, December 2, 1993 STS-59, April 9, 1994 STS-69, September 7, 1995 STS-77, May 19, 1996 The crew is probably measuring the Earth s magnetic field, if it is affected by Nemesis. STS-76 March 22, 1996 STS-77 May 19, 1996 The crew is probably measuring the distance between the star and the Earth. STS-80, November 19, 1996 STS-96, May 27, 1999

8 STS-106, September 8, 2000 Nemesis STS-105, August 10, 2001 NASA s best emblem concerning space research of the neutron star Nemesis. The emblem is an illustration of Nemesis which outside our solar system passes by the Sun and then continues its journey in a pentagonal trajectory to a shorter distance in around 1000 years. We cannot get a better illustration of the binary star system. Everybody involved in astronomy should understand this message. STS-108, December 5, 2001 STS-111, June 5, 2002 STS-112, October 7, 2002 An expressive emblem The pentagonal orbit around the Sun neutron star Nemesis/Planet X. STS-113, November 23, 2002 STS-107, January 16,, 2003 Spaceship Columbia crashed during reentry and a lot of important, fresh information was destroyed. STS-121, July 4, 2006 STS-117, June 8, 2007 STS-118, August 8, 2007 STS-123, March 11, 2008 STS-126, November 14, 2008 STS-119, March 15, 2009 STS-131, March 18, 2010 STS-135 July 8, 2011 STS-128, August 29, 2009 STS-129, November 16, 2009 All these emblems clearly illustrate NASA s mission connected to the observations of neutron star and giant comet Nemesis.

9 The ISS Mission Mission 3, August 10, 2001 Mission 3, August 10, 2001 The international space station orbits the Earth since 2000 with staff onboard. I chose some emblems which are symbols of the program connected to various assignments for the ISS crew around the Earth. Mission 9, April 18, 2004 Mission 12, September 30, 2005 Mission 14, September 18, 2006 Mission 16, October 10, 2007 Mission 17, April 8, 2008 Mission 18, October 12, 2008 Mission 20, May 2009 Mission 32, May 2012 The brown dwarf star Nemesis

10 Soyuz TM-33 21/10/ /10/2001 ISS Claudia Haigneré Viktor Afanasiyev, Konstantin Kozeyev, Claudia Haigneré Crew of Soyuz TM-33 The international space station ISS is in orbit around the world since The ISS is permanently manned with international crew, especially Americans and Russians. Activities onboard are constant: science, research and astronomical observations, among them the return of the neutron star to the solar system. When Soyuz TM-33 visited the ISS something remarkable happened to the French woman Claudia Haigneré who did her second journey. She sent a cryptic message back to Earth: Mankind must we warned. What did she see up there that made her send a warning to people on Earth? She had probably, using her own eyes, seen the neutron star approach the boundaries of the solar system and, being a human, she thought about the population on Earth and their safety, a human reaction. She obviously violated professional secrecy. Her revelation is further evidence that secret research and observations of the neutron star Nemesis are carried out in the ISS. Claudia Haigneré is one of the human and important women on Earth. More info at Mystery of the Moon, page 105. Spanish Astronomers Claim Dwarf Sun Beyond Pluto Some time ago, on January 7, 2010, we could read that Spanish astronomers had discovered a brown dwarf sun beyond Pluto, officially named G1.9. Americans discovered the same sun as early as in NASA: 31/12/2009 Magnetic cloud. A cloud of gas is approaching our solar system and a strong magnetic source has been discovered out there, NASA claimed. It is a solar system which has a stronger magnetic field and NASA located in as early as in the 1990s, see above. It is no secret that this brown dwarf star in the magnetic cloud is neutron star Nemesis and its planets. This is how Nemesis is described: Nemesis The theory of a companion sun is not new. It has often been described as Nemesis, after the Greek figure in mythology The mythological Nemesis was the spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris, vengeful fate personified as a remorseless goddess. The name Nemesis is related to the Greek word meaning "to give what is due". Nemesis is now often used as a term to describe one's worst enemy, normally someone or something that is the exact opposite of oneself but is also somehow similar. For example, Professor Moriarty is frequently described as the nemesis of Sherlock Holmes "Opposite yet similar" is the perfect description for a companion to our Sun. But the name Nemesis also implies a sinister nature. Will this new Nemesis be beneficial or harmful to our lives? We usually say: No smoke without fire. Step by step Nemesis is put into people s everyday lives and surroundings.

11 Nemesis and the Sun, our binary star system Here we can see how our binary star system works and what it looks like. Nemesis, the brown dwarf star G1.9, is beyond planet Pluto, located just outside the solar system. Note that this picture was produced a couple of years ago, today Nemesis is much closer to us. Some people call Nemesis Planet X because a neutron star shrinks as time goes by, down to the size of a planet. As far as I understand Nemesis is called Planet X, X as in extra, because of this. Nemesis will reach the boundaries of our solar system on December , today according to the Maya calendar. Anyway, it is on its way here. Our earlier knowledge about the Maya Calendar was mainly based on three books made of bark, probably written in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. Today all three are in European libraries and it is very sad to read how priests and monks from Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries on purpose destroyed nearly all Maya documents which then were preserved in Central America. Why? Well, nobody is supposed to know anything about the fullness of time. Why did the clergy not remove the fullness of time from the Gospels? More info at Maya- Inca-Aztecs and their Secrets pages The Maya calendar is an impressive construct which is based on the movements of various objects in the sky: the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury. By comparing the cycles of the Moon and the Sun they could probably predict eclipses of the Sun and the Moon, events of symbolic importance. Nostradamus - Quatrains Century 2, Quatrain 41 The great star will burn for seven days, The cloud will cause two suns to appear: The big mastiff will howl all night When the great pontiff will change country. Nostradamus, too, writes about two suns, Nemesis and the Sun. The whole world will see them, with their own eyes. The scientists, astronomers and politicians who deny Nemesis existence will hide from people s wrath all over the world.
