Pre-Announcement Media Coverage

[John Smith]

We are seeing so many remarkable pre-announcement pieces showing up, this is a place to post and discuss them. This one for example, is making discoveries sound 'ho hum' which a few months/years ago were heralded as amazing breakthroughs. Today for example: 

"Nearly Every Star Hosts at Least One Alien Planet"

http://news.yahoo.com/nearly-every-star-hosts-least-one-alien-plane...

When a month or so ago they were making a BIG deal about finding one planet in the sweet zone which could possibly support life, son they they say 25% of them could support life! Including mention of red dwarfs, etc. The Zeta predicted evidence continues to build up!

Here is another blog that relates, describing a wobble:

American Doomsday: White House Warns of Climate Catastrophes

By  Matthew DeLuca

Scorching temperatures, flooded cities, and changes in the growing season are just some of the hard realities of a changing climate that are beginning to hit Americans directly, says a new White House report.

“Climate change, once considered an issue for a distant future, has moved firmly into the present,” the White House report released on Tuesday says.

The third National Climate Assessment, the result of four years of research by hundreds of leading scientists and experts, draws a dire picture of a future in which human activity has contributed directly to massive changes in weather. A 1,300-page draft version of the National Climate Assessment was issued last year.

“Corn producers in Iowa, oyster growers in Washington State, and maple syrup producers in Vermont are all observing climate-related changes that are outside of experience," they wrote in the report.

"This National Climate Assessment concludes that the evidence of human-induced climate change continues to strengthen and that impacts are increasing across the country."

The changes could help fuel wildfires across the Southwest, lead to lengthened growing season in the Midwest, and cause heat waves and coastal flooding in the Northeast, according to the report. Glaciers will shrink in Alaska even as drought leads to “increased competition for scarce water resources for people and ecosystems,” the report warns.

“This National Climate Assessment concludes that the evidence of human-induced climate change continues to strengthen and that impacts are increasing across the country,” the report states.

Researchers underscored the high temperatures experienced in recent years by Americans, including 2012, which was the hottest year the continental United States has yet had on record, according to the report. The report projects that temperatures will rise a further 2 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit in coming decades.

And in scenarios reminiscent of Hurricane Sandy, heavy rain storms stand to slam America's transportation networks, flooding tunnels, washing across rail lines and overwhelming drainage systems for streets and tunnels.

“Americans are noticing changes all around them,” the researchers wrote in the report. “Summers are longer and hotter, and extended periods of unusual heat last longer than any living American has ever experienced. Winters are generally shorter and warmer.”

The report drew a direct connection between human activities and the uptick in global temperatures over the past five decades, leading to erratic weather experienced across the country. Extreme weather events that have changed over that period include heatwaves that have swept the West while similar bursts of cold weather have become less frequent.

"Corn producers in Iowa, oyster growers in Washington State, and maple syrup producers in Vermont are all observing climate-related changes that are outside of experience."

“Natural drivers of climate cannot explain the recent observed warming,” the report states. “Over the last five decades, natural factors (solar forcing and volcanoes) alone would actually have led to a slight cooling.”

The report comes after a series of other high-profile warnings on the pace and effects of climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is releasing a series of global assessments. The American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society have all issued their own reports or begun educational campaigns.

The White House’s report presents “actionable science” on how to deal with climate change and its effects, John Podesta, a counselor to President Obama, told NBC News’ Chuck Todd on Tuesday. The peer-reviewed report is the most comprehensive yet produced on the effects of climate change in the U.S., Podesta said.

Some climate experts who spoke to NBC News in advance of the report’s release highlighted the need for quick action to mitigate the effects of climate change.

“While President Obama has taken some important steps to address climate change at home, his administration is undermining that progress by ignoring the huge amounts of carbon pollution that would accompany the fossil fuel industry’s plan to export coal, liquefied natural gas and oil abroad,” said Gabe Wisniewski, Greenpeace USA's climate and energy campaign director, in an email. “Climate change is a global crisis which will only be made worse by extracting and exporting fossil fuels, whether it’s fracked gas from Appalachia, coal strip-mined from Montana, or oil drilled from the Arctic.”

Prehistoric hunting structures found under Lake Huron

https://ca.news.yahoo.com/prehistoric-hunting-structures-found-unde...

Archaeologists have discovered sophisticated prehistoric stone walls deep beneath the surface of Lake Huron that give the clearest portrait yet of the mysterious people who lived in the Great Lakes region at the end of the Ice Age.

"It's just way more complex than anything we've seen before," said John O'Shea, a University of Michigan archeologist who published his findings Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

Since 2008, O'Shea and his colleagues have been investigating an underwater ridge in Lake Huron that runs roughly between Alpena, Mich., and Point Clark, Ont. As the glaciers were beating their final retreat about 9,000 years ago, water in the lake was about 100 metres below today's level and the Alpena-Amberley Ridge was exposed.

......

In 37 metres of water, just over 50 kilometres from shore, O'Shea was looking at two stone lines forming a lane about 30 metres long and eight metres wide which ended in a corral-type structure. It had hunting blinds built into the sides as well as other lanes and structures.

This definitely is yet another 'primer' for the people to expect an announcement....more proof of massive and sudden changes to peoples far more advanced then we thought at the time!!!

Astronomers Have Discovered A Star That's As Cold As Ice

"Because they are so much smaller and cooler than stars, brown dwarfs appear red and faint. But astronomer Kevin Luhman noticed that WISE J085510.83-071442.5 was very red and very faint...partly because it is small...

"It may well be that instead of being a brown dwarf, this object may in reality be one of the half dozen or so mysterious rogue planets..., "

University of Washington launches effort to prepare Northwest region for 9.0 magnitude quake - 314 years since the last one
April 25, 2014
SEATTLE -- Scientists fully expect that the coast of Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and part of northern California to see a magnitude nine subduction zone earthquake again.It's been 314 years since the last one in January of the year 1700. Scientists know of this quake because of written reports from Japan that recorded a tsunami. The reports of a giant wave also correlate with rings in old trees killed when marsh land along the Washington coast dropped several feet, allowing sea water to envelope their roots.This week, scientists with the University of Washington gathered 55 experts from around the region. Their goal: to step up efforts to prepare for the next magnitude nine earthquake in the Northwest and the ensuing recovery."That's the critical part. To be prepared and then to bounce back." said John Vidale,Washington state's seismologist and head of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. Vidale moderated the event.MORE:Quake off Vancouver Island a wake-up call for the NorthwestThe project is called M9, as in magnitude 9.But the lessons learned from it could be applied to any major natural disaster in Washington, a state that's currently recovering from the landslide near Oso on March 22 that killed at least 41 people.In addition to earthquake scientists, M9 participants included structural engineers, transportation experts, representatives from the insurance industry, social scientists, oceanographers, tsunami specialists and emergency managers.The plan is to update the science to better prepare everything from skyscrapers to bridges to people in their own homes for when a mega-quake hits."People may not be preparing themselves adequately for the kind of disaster that's going to happen," said Ann Bostrom with the U.W. Evans School of Public Affairs. Butshe added that the big quake is just one scenario that threatens people and homeowners."I do think about insurance, about the preparations people can do. I think about the mental preparations people have to doin order to plan for all kinds of hazards, and what we can do in our risk communications projects to help people do that," Bostrom said.Interdisciplinary efforts have happened before, at meetings and conferences. But this time it's a bigger commitment to work together: a three year, $4 million project financed by a grant from the National Science Foundation.The risk from violent shaking and a tsunami is not just confined to coastal communities. The Seattle area is also considered at an elevated risk. The city andsome of the surrounding area sits on a basin of softer soil and rock surrounded byharder materials. That could trap earthquake waves and cause them to resonate for a longer period of time, creating more damage.An area of further study is how those earthquake waves, particularly ones of certain frequencies will effect tall downtown buildings.

Tuesday 15.04.14 was an interesting article in The Sun U.K.

Apocalypse HOW?  Could  you survive after the end of civilisation? 

No mention of Niburu of course, but could be part of the pre - announcement. 

And some useful tips for survival.

I did not find the article on the net but there is a twitter link ApocalypseHow

Barack Obama's Twitter account sent this link today, a show on Showtime showcasing climate change, and not blaming humans (apparently). Produced by James Cameron, who according to the Zetas has personally seen proof of their words, when he dove into the Marianas Trench.

It never ceases to surprise me that the Daily Mail keeps the dripping tap technique to embed the concepts in the mind of the readers. Readers of the blog should note that the usual Daily Mail coverage is usually concerned with celebs ( A list to Z list with anything in between), fashion, opinion, right wing perspectives on immigration, education, policy and politics…. and surprising for such a paper, the latest in space exploration from NASA!!!

Interesting body language of Bill Clinton when asked point blank if he would tell us if he knew there were aliens! He says he would tell, but is looking down, so you can't see his eyes when he says it.
