IRIS Earthquake  2-Year Historic Map 2009-2011
IRIS Earthquake  2-Year Historic Map of all Quakes along the Ring of Fire from January 20, 2009 to December 17, 2011 

For those following earth changes for their relevance to the coming of the Messiah, here are two charts to comprehend.  Both are IRIS maps published by the United States Geological Services. What is most important is to notice the dates of each map, and then begin to analyze the finer data that is including in regard not just to large earthquakes but most important to the flurries of smaller quakes (purples dots) that are caused by ‘Planet Earth rocking and rolling’ as it is buffeted by the strong electromagnetic force field of Nibiru, the Dark Twin Binary Brown (Red) Star that is returning as our Sun’s Twin Solar System as an emissary of G-d’s divine judgment.

The IRIS Earthquake map below shows the number of quakes on Planet Earth for a 5 year historical period between the years of January 20, 2004 to January 20, 2009. The IRIS Earthquake map above depicts the number of earthquake for only 2 year historical period between the dates of January 9, 2009 and December 17, 2011.

Take a close look and consider what is visibly obvious of how the number of large earthquakes have become more numerous and intensive in magnitude in the Read more…

US Military Bases Pacific Ocean

BEIJING — China’s Ministry of defense warned the United States on Monday to be “careful in its words and actions” after announcing a defense rethink that stresses responding to China’s rise by shoring up U.S. alliances and bases across Asia.

The statement from the ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng was Beijing’s fullest reaction so far to the new U.S. strategy unveiled last week. It echoed the mix of wariness and outward restraint that has marked China’s response to the Obama administration’s “pivot” to Asia since late last year.

“We have noted that the United States issued this guide to its defense strategy, and we will closely observe the impact that U.S. military strategic adjustment has on the Asia-Pacific region and on global security developments,” Geng said in a statement issued on the ministry’s website.

“The accusations leveled at China by the U.S. side in this document are totally baseless,” said Geng.

“We hope that the United States will flow with the tide of the era, and deal with China and the Chinese military in an objective and rational way, will be careful in its words and Read more…

NEW ZEALAND SWELL: A beach goer takes photos of surfers and body boarders as a large swell hits California beaches.

Massive waves slamming into California’s coast – killing at least one person and causing millions of dollars in damage – are being labelled the “New Zealand surf” because of where they are coming from.

In a rare event, a big weather system between New Zealand and Antarctica has generated a heavy Pacific wide swell, bringing the waves to California.

Sean Collins, chief forecaster and president of Surfline, told news website Patch.com he warned Californian authorities over the swell.

“Extra caution is urged to keep the public aware and safe from these large waves and associated rip currents.”

He said it was one of the biggest swells to hit with some waves coming ashore at six to seven metres.

Collins said southern hemisphere storms routinely produced waves in California, but this latest one was in the top 10 percent of known waves.

The US National Weather Service has warned beachgoers were Read more…

The mighty US Navy won’t say so publicly, but it’s increasingly worried by China’s development of new anti-ship missiles.

The chief worry is China’s new DF-21D whose primary target is America’s huge aircraft carriers.

According to Chinese sources, the DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) has recently become operational in limited numbers.   Originally developed for submarines, the DF-21D is said to have a range of 2,700km and at least some capability to strike moving targets.

China’s military is hard at work on satellites, long-range backscatter radar, submarines, and drones that can identify moving naval targets up to Read more…
