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:

U.N. report: Insects are environmentally-friendly food

Although many find them scary or disgusting, bugs can be nutritional.

Eating bugs may be an environmentally friendly food for the future, according to a United Nations report released in 2013, describing the many benefits of farming and eating bugs. For example, pest bugs can be harvested from farmer’s crops and eaten, which means that not only will the crops be safe, but the bugs can provide additional nutrition.

Crickets, for example, have 28 grams of protein per 100 grams. Cows, for comparison, have about 20 grams of protein per 100. Bugs also do not release methane, which is a greenhouse gas that damages the climate by absorbing heat. Although cows are not the main source of methane pollution, they do contribute to it.

“Insects are everywhere, and they reproduce quickly. They have high growth and feed conversion rates and a low environmental footprint,” according to the report.

Some cultures already eat bugs, according to the report. Mexico has a long tradition of eating the local grasshoppers and locusts, such as grasshopper tacos, and many dishes in China involve bugs, including ant soup and fried scorpions. In addition, certain traditional African cultures eat bugs.

“There’s food, not food, and not food to me,” anthropology professor Julie Adkins said.

But, currently, most U.S. bug-eating is limited to accidents, dares and novelty items. One company, Hotlix, provides novelty candies, including scorpion lollipops and flavored crickets. It was founded by Larry Peterman after he was inspired by the tequila brands that put worms in the bottoms of their drinks.

“People are already eating insects in widely popular foods, such as chocolate, ketchup, peanut butter, wine and many others,” Peterman said. “Hotlix is simply open about it.”

They may seem disgusting now, but the future is open, and this is not the first time people have changed their minds about what is edible.

In the 1800s, lobsters were considered sea trash, in part because they were not overfished and were still plentiful. There was a large protest when certain jails fed their prisoners lobster. It was considered inhumane. But, during the Great Depression, it was one of the few unrationed foods available, and so it became more widely consumed, according to an article from Pacific Standard Magazine. Today, lobster is considered a delicacy.

“It’s interesting how you can dry bugs out and flavor them,” said Connor Denney, a computer science freshman. “If I was raised to eat them, it wouldn’t seem as strange to me.”

Get Ready for an Earthquake, NASA Tells L.A.

Los Angeles residents better start making their earthquake-preparedness kits — scientists say there’s a 99 percent chance that a quake will rock the city sometime before 2018. (earthquake-preparedness kits — scientists say there’s a 99 percent ...)

Using radar and GPS to measure the likelihood of an earthquake, experts from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena predict a 5.0-magnitude shaker — or bigger — for the L.A. area. After the La Habra quake in spring 2014, there’s apparently enough strain on the L.A. basin to produce an even larger earthquake with the same epicenter just 20 miles southeast of downtown, JPL geophysicist Dr. Andrea Donnellan told CBS Los Angeles.

Although the earth isn’t expected to literally crack open, “there’s enough energy stored to produce about a magnitude 6.1 to 6.3 earthquake,” Donnellan says. 

No injuries were reported in the moderate 5.1-magnitude La Habra shaker, but an earthquake with a magnitude of 6 or higher on the Richter scale is considered “strong” and able to cause a lot of damage in heavily populated areas — like L.A.

A good comment on FB re: this:

I have a BAD feeling about this......... Such as, I bet they found a big one heading this way, big enough to kill a large chunk of the planet, and nothing they can do about it... SO, turning off this program would make it easier for "plausible deniability" to be in effect by declaring, "Since we turned off this program, we didn't see it coming."

Re the light show: they are putting up chemicals in the upper atmosphere, supposedly for some study. and a byproduct of this will be many colors in the skies. I find this suspicious, as rainbow type displays are much in evidence lately, from the grease in the tail of Nibiru/Planet X. See most recent Issue 470 of the newsletter, Signs in the Skies section. I think they are going to use this stuff as an excuse, like blame the Sun for the EMP. It is part of a continuing coverup.

"Tonight, NASA says it’s ejecting four different payloads of a mix of barium and strontium, creating “a cloud with a mixture of blue-green and red color.” Here’s an example of a barium release provided by NASA; on the upper left you can see the barium’s “ionized component, which has become elongated along the Earth’s magnetic field lines.”"

Dalai Lama in U.S. for 'Checkup' as World Leaders Gather at U.N. (Sep 24)

Tibet's exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama was in the United States for a medical checkup on Thursday, and he had no plans to meet world leaders gathering in New York for the annual United Nations general assembly, officials at his office in India said.

The Nobel Peace Laureate is not ill, but was going to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, for a yearly health check-up, his secretary Tenzin Taklha said in an email.

China's President Xi Jinping is also in the United States, where he will make his U.N. debut as China's leader.

The Dalai Lama's trip also coincides with the visit of Pope Francis, who met with President Barack Obama and is scheduled to address the United Nations on Friday.
