Signs of the Times #574 (godlikeproduction Message Board)
I have been making note of where the sun is at 12 noon my time (MST) for the last four weeks, taking a visual measurement by standing at the same spot and referencing the level of the sun against one particular tall tree nearby. To all appearances, the sun two days ago (Dec 27, 03) was slightly lower in the south than it had been on last previous measurement day (Dec 23). [and from another source] After Dec 21 the Sun is supposed to move North but it moved 5-6 degrees South. Okay what gives? [Note: Earth up in its Ecliptic noted from weeks now.]

http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/12/22/threat.level/index.html ‘On Tuesday [Dec 30], the Pentagon will conduct a continuity-of-government exercise as part of the orange alert, officials said. Key officials will be told to move to secret alternative facilities. It was not clear how many people would be involved or whether they would move by helicopter or motor vehicle.’ [Note: over two years since 911 and they are just now getting to practice this? Not because of terrorism.]

Burst Main Floods Parts of Halifax [Dec 27] http://www.canada.com/halifax/aroundtown/story.asp?id=6CB34753-46E7-4027-B536-04802DAA23B3 ‘Halifax resident Gwen Smith says she would rather go through Hurricane Juan again than what she went through with a water main break. Smith and her husband got a rude awakening early yesterday when millions of gallons of water flooded a west-end Halifax neighbourhood. A huge water main ruptured and the force of the water triggered flying rocks, shattered windows and shredded tree bark. It's unclear what caused the water main break.’

My windows were shaking at the time, when the fatal EQ was rumbling Iran [Dec 26]! Even here, in Poland, I feel some tremors! Medium sized Red Dust clouds here, constantly. [and from another source] I went out this morning [Dec 28] at sunrise to see the sun rise and I could see more than one extra light source, other than the Sun. [and from another source] I walk my dog around the same time every night and it has been very dark lately being winter. Tonight it is very clear and there is no moon but, it is eerily light outside especially to the east. It reminds me of how it looks very early in the morning before the Sun rises, which will not be for very long hours from the time I walked the dog.

China Gas Field Disaster Kills 191 [Dec 25] http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asiapcf/east/12/25/china.gas/index.html ‘At least 191 people were killed and hundreds poisoned when a natural gas well in southwest China burst and released a cloud of toxic fumes, medical workers, officials and state media said on Thursday. Officials said a gas well burst in the Chuan Dongbei gas field northeast of Chongqing city, releasing natural gas and sulfurated hydrogen "killing and poisoning many people," the state-run Xinhua News agency reported. Officials from the China National Petroleum Corporation, which owns the field, set fire to the escaping gas in an attempt to stop it from spreading, a CNPC official told Xinhua. A CNPC rescue team planned to pump 260 cubic meters of mud into the well Friday morning in an attempt to cap it, Xinhua reported. Details of the tragedy have been slow to emerge because of the area is remote. The gas field is 337 kilometers northeast of Chongqing city, rescue officials said. Rescue officials told CNN that rescue crews were still in the area, and that the gas leak had not been contained. The cause of the "blowout" was still unknown, they said.’

The Mountains Grew A Foot Today During The Quake [Dec 23] ‘The magnitude 6.5 quake hit near the coastal city of San Simeon almost exactly half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles, setting high-rise buildings swaying in both cities. Today one piece of crust shoved beneath another about 7.6km beneath the surface of the earth and at the intersection of the Pacific and North American plates, US Geological Survey seismologists said. That sent tremors along America´s west coast and beyond. Thrust faults produce mountains, and the San Simeon quake probably improved the view from the nearby hills, Stein said because, mountains have probably been pushed up about a foot or so by this earthquake.’
