Dear
Editor,
The tremors in the Santa Cruz region in the past week are at different levels, indicating that a crushing of the crust is occurring. The result of this activity may soon cause massive shifts in the Pacific Rim of Fire, and subsequently, the rest of the Earth’s Crust.

January 5, 2013 - PLANET – Conditions on the planet continue to
deteriorate, particularly in respect to more pronounced climate extremes seen
across hemispheres, and the number of volcanoes that are now continuously
erupting. The planet is undergoing dynamic change, whereby we’re seeing early
evidence that the physical dynamics of the planet is moving towards a spectrum
of greater instability. This is happening, as the planet’s magnetic field
continues to abate in strength. This is suggestive that we’ve passed the
rubicon in this internal process of a geological shift that has been brought on
by an anomalistic fluctuation of thermal gradient in the planet’s outer core.

“Earth’s stability is collapsing…and one by one, the
biospheric processes regulating life itself are going awry. These are early
characteristics of climate shock and are indications that even more ominous
changes are yet to unfold…areas of the Earth…will become increasingly
inhospitable from the extremes of climate change. As incredible as it seems,
we’re witnessing signs of epochal change-across the planet which are typically
consigned to geological periods of planetary extinctions. The climate stability,
we once knew, is gone forever.” –The

REGION

Ominous change in the
South Pacific:
The Santa Cruz seismic swarms are unfolding against an even more complex
geological backdrop. Consequently, the effects of this massive seismic upheaval
signals ominous change for the entire Pacific basin. To the west, the
Indo-Australian plate is breaking up, after the largest strike-slip earthquakes
ever recorded, struck off the coast of Indonesia in April of 2012. The Solomon
Sea Plate, to the east, is an oceanic crustal plate remnant, which is
disappearing into two subduction zones, one to its north, the other on its
southwest margin. Its southeast margin runs along the Woodlark Rise, undefined compressive
zone, which may be a transform fault marking the boundary with the adjoining
Woodlark Plate. The northern subduction zone is located where the Solomon Plate
is diving below the South Bismarck Plate to the northwest and the Pacific Plate
to the northeast. The northwest part of the subduction zone is called the New
Britain Subduction Zone. New Britain in Papua New Guinea is the volcanic island
formed from this collision and resulting volcanism. The southwestern subduction
zone is where the Solomon Pate is diving below the Indo-Australian Plate.
According to scientists, the Indo-Australian plate may in the process of
breaking up, and this heightened activity around the Santa Cruz Islands is
placing additional pressures on a tectonic plate, already exhibiting strains of
fracturing. We should continue to watch the region of Indonesia for massive
changes to come, including very large-scale volcanic eruptions. Nearly all of
the planet’s current 15 tectonic plates, and in some cases, sub-plates and volcanic
arcs are heavily stressed by the recent violent mobility of tectonic plates
shaken by earthquakes. I’ve never quite seen a pattern this fraught with
potential hazards or as heavily laden with seismic tension. The planet is now
experiencing a major geological crisis, and it’s showing some indication of
worsening. –The Extinction Protocol Croatian scientist warns about high number of quakes in 2012

Update:
Crustal
upheaval near Santa Cruz Islands signals planet undergoing massive change
February 8, 2013
– SANTA
CRUZ, ISLS – The deadly 8.0 earthquake and tsunami that hit the Solomon Islands days
ago, struck along a subduction zone, the same geologic setting responsible for
the world’s most powerful earthquakes. In a subduction zone, two of Earth’s
tectonic plates meet and one slides beneath the other into the mantle, the
deeper layer beneath the crust. The Solomon Islands sits above the collision
between the Australia and Pacific plates. In the region of the magnitude-8.0
earthquake, the Australia plates dives beneath the Pacific plate toward the
east-northeast at a geologically speedy 3.7 inches (94 millimeters) per year,
according to the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS). The
earthquake hit at a depth of 17.8 miles (28.7 kilometers) and was the second
largest earthquake in the Solomon Islands region in almost 40 years, IRIS said
in a statement. Several aftershocks followed; the largest measuring magnitude
6.6, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The tsunami generated by
the quake, reported as 3 feet (0.9 meters) in height, hit villages on Santa Cruz
Island, destroying structures and homes, according to news reports. A tsunami
watch was issued for Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand, but not for the rest
of the Pacific, according to the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.
Subduction zone quakes shove the seafloor in one sudden movement, which may
generate a tsunami by pushing the ocean water above. However, depending on the
depth and size of the earthquake, the actual seafloor surface may not move a
significant amount, so a big earthquake doesn’t always produce a massive wave.
For example, a magnitude-7.6 subduction zone earthquake in the Philippines in
August 2012, which started deep in Earth’s crust, did not trigger a tsunami.
There were dozens of earthquakes around the Solomon Islands in the month
leading up to the massive 8.0 earthquake, the USGS reported. More than 40
magnitude-4.5 quakes shook the islands in the past week alone, and seven of
those temblors were larger than a magnitude-6.0, the USGS said. –Discovery
Planet in crisis: “We are entering an
era of increased planetary instability, brought on by a significant rise in the
geothermal gradient, and subsequent magmatic fluid expansion within the
planet’s interior. It will be a time, in which, we will see catastrophic and
exponential increases in the number of natural disasters- most notably:
earthquakes, storms, and volcanic eruptions. Yet, it is not the number of
earthquakes that will strike the planet in the future that should most concern
us. It will be the cluster eruption of mega-quakes, and their resonate
aftermath, which will signal the planet has entered an intensified
cataclysmic period of transition…these quakes will signal the secondary
stage of Earth’s thermal acceleration, and should come to be viewed as signs of
increasing disorder. Some of the quakes will strike as singular events; others
will erupt in clusters, and some will strike some of the world’s most dangerous
faults…this time will be marked by increased tectonic plate agitation, and an
increase in the outbreak of the most powerful and destructive type of
earthquakes, known as mega-thrust earthquakes.” –The Extinction Protocol,

Quake Expert: Earth Cracking Up
Here is something interesting from the Croatian Times a couple of days ago:
“A leading earthquake scientist has warned that the planet could be cracking up after a series of massive quakes in just 48 hours. Expert Gheorghe Marmureanu – from Romania’s National Institute of Earth Physics – says 39 quakes had hit the globe within two days. The series started with two massive quakes in Indonesia measuring 8.6 and 8.2 on the Richter scale rapidly followed by three more only slightly smaller in Mexico within hours.”
“There is no doubt that something is seriously wrong. There have been too many strong earthquakes,” said Marmureanu. He added: “The quakes are a surprise that cannot be easily explained by current scientific knowledge. With the Indonesian quake for example, statistically, there should be one big earthquake in this part of Asia every 500 years. However, since 2004, there were already three quakes with a magnitude of over 8, which is not normal.”

Dear Concerned Earth Lovers,
The eruption of Mt Fuji will indicate that an east/west fault line has fractured, allowing Northern Honshu to slide into a 6500 metre ocean trench. Earthquakes of the past 90 days in the eastern side of Japan has weakened it’s foundation, a porous sub-structure; a land of a volcanic substance. The resulting tsunamis’ will wipe-out millions of humans in the Pacific region as well as severely destabilizing the Earth’s crust, resulting in the dislodging of the Western & Eastern Antarctic ice sheets. This massive loss of weight from the continent of Antarctica will result in an asymmetric rotation of the Earth and so cause the isostasy (Balance of the Earth’s crust.) to become unbalanced. Crust displacement at Magnitude 12+ will then occur until the Earth’s crust reaches equilibrium, while at the same time hundreds of volcanoes will erupt, lands will disappear as well as having an extreme destabilizing effect on climate patterns.

John Berbatis

Rotational
Wobble (Chandler’s). The Crust presents the earth with an unbalanced
distribution of weight, even a small (10 centimeters) displacement of the crust
would cause the earth to wobble more (which ironically could induce more
crustal displacement, thus causing more wobble, thus causing more displacement,
etc.) Added bulges from the expansion beneath the crust would
worsen the imbalance. The diameter at the equator is 43 Kls more than the rest
of the Earth's surface, due to centrifugal forces.
The Result of the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet dislodging.
“In a polar region there is a continual deposition of ice, which is not
symmetrically distributed about the pole. The earth’s rotation acts on
these asymmetrically deposited masses [of ice], and produces centrifugal
momentum that is transmitted to the rigid crust of the earth. The
constantly increasing centrifugal momentum produced in this way will, when
it has reached a certain point, produce a movement of the earth’s crust
over the rest of the earth’s body, and this will displace the polar regions
toward the equator.”
‘Such displacements may take place as the consequence of comparatively
slight forces exerted on the crust……… which in turn will tend to
alter the axis’.

In the past ten years there has been an exponential melting of the ice
sheets and a noticeable disintegration of the ice shelves owing to ‘global
warming’. The loss of mass from the underlying Tectonics Plates causes them
to ascend (iso-static rebound), and this results in an increase in the
intensification and frequency of global seismological activity. The seismic
data of the past ten years confirm this conjecture. Furthermore, the ice
shelves impede the flow of glaciers and ice sheets into to the oceans; and
when the ‘polar regions’ are subjected to unprecedented seismic upheavals,
these events will then cause the ice sheets and glaciers to be dislodged en
masse into the ocean. This occurrence will then instantly destabilize the
earth’s crust weight distribution (isostasy), and so precipitate a ‘crust
displacement’ (Mag. 12), that is, an axis change. The previous subterranean
extraction of fossil fuels and water will greatly exacerbate this impending
Apocalypse. Currently, the excessive amount of carbon and methane gasses in
the atmosphere is causing catastrophic weather conditions, globally – and
this situation will rapidly deteriorate into ‘a runaway climate’.

Pole
Shift by John White
What will happen during a pole shift.”The ultimate disaster! Enormous tidal waves will roll across the
continents as oceans become displaced from their basins. Hurricane winds of
hundreds of miles per hour will scour the planet. Earthquakes greater than
any ever measured will change the shape of the continents. Volcanoes will
pour out huge lava flows, along with poisonous gases and choking ash.
Climates will change instantly, and the geography of the globe will be
radically altered. If the pole shift is less than a full 180 degrees, the
polar icecaps will melt rapidly, raising sea levels, while new icecaps will
begin to build. And large numbers of organisms, including the human race,
will be decimated or even become extinct, with signs of their existence
hidden under thick layers of sediment and debris or at the bottom of newly
established seas…”

Earth
sounds analysis by
Dr. Elchin Khalilov, a geophysicist and a professor in Azerbaijan.
Dr. Elchin Khalilov, a geophysicist and a professor in Azerbaijan.
“We have analyzed records of these sounds and found that most of their spectrum lies within the infrasound range, i.e. is not audible to humans. What people hear is only a small fraction of the actual power of these sounds. They are low-frequency acoustic emissions in the range between 20 and 100 Hz modulated by ultra-low infrasonic waves from 0.1 to 15 Hz. In geophysics, they are called acoustic-gravity waves; they are formed in the upper atmosphere, at the atmosphere-ionosphere boundary in particular. There can be quite a lot of causes why those waves are generated: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, storms, tsunamis, etc. However, the scale of the observed humming sound in terms of both the area covered and its power far exceeds those that can be generated by the above-mentioned phenomena.”
In that case, what could be causing this humming in the sky?
“In our opinion, the source of such powerful and immense manifestation of acoustic-gravity waves must be very large-scale energy processes. These processes include powerful solar flares and huge energy flows generated by them, rushing towards Earth’s surface and destabilizing the magnetosphere, ionosphere and upper atmosphere. Thus, the effects of powerful solar flares: the impact of shock waves in the solar wind, streams of corpuscles and bursts of electromagnetic radiation are the main causes of generation of acoustic-gravitation waves following increased solar activity.
“Given the surge in solar activity as manifested itself in the higher number and energy of solar flares since mid-2011, we can assume that there is a high probability of impact of the substantial increase in solar activity on the generation of the unusual humming coming from the sky. It should be pointed out that solar activity began to rise sharply since early 2011, with its amplitude significantly higher than all forecasts given by a number of influential scientific institutions in 2010 and 2011. Meanwhile, the observed increase in solar activity is fully consistent with the forecast of the International Committee GEOCHANGE published in the Committee’s Report in June 2010. If this growth rate of solar activity continues, its amplitude by the end of 2012 will be higher than the amplitude of 23rd solar cycle, and in 2013-2014 the solar activity will reach its peak the amplitude of which was predicted by us to be 1.5 – 1.7 times higher than the amplitude of the 23rd cycle.”
But you said that the cause of the “sky hum” can lie within Earth’s core as well, what does it mean?
“There is one more possible cause of these sounds and it may lie at the Earth’s core. The fact is that the acceleration of the drift of the Earth’s north magnetic pole which increased more than fivefold between 1998 and 2003 and is at the same level today points to intensification of energy processes in the Earth’s core, since it is processes in the inner and outer core that form the Earth’s geomagnetic field. Meanwhile, as we have already reported, on November 15, 2011 all ATROPATENA geophysical stations which record three-dimensional variations of the Earth’s gravitational field almost simultaneously registered a powerful gravitational impulse. The stations are deployed in Istanbul, Kiev, Baku, Islamabad and Yogyakarta, with the first and last one being separated by a distance of about 10,000 km. Such a phenomenon is only possible if the source of this emanation is at the Earth’s core level. That huge energy release from the Earth’s core at the end of the last year was some kind of a start signal indicating the transition of the Earth’s internal energy into a new active phase.
“Intensification of the energy processes in the Earth’s core can modulate the geomagnetic field which, through a chain of physical processes at the ionosphere – atmosphere boundary level, generates acoustic-gravity waves the audible range of which has been heard by people in the form of a frightening low-frequency sound in different parts of our planet.
“In both cases, even though the causes of acoustic-gravity waves are of a quite understandable geophysical nature, they are indicative of the expected significant increase in solar activity and the geodynamic activity of our planet. There is no doubt that processes in the core rule the internal energy of our planet, therefore, we should expect by the end of 2012 a sharp rise in strong earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and extreme weather events with peak levels in 2013 – 2014.”

West
Antarctic Ice Shelves Tearing Apart at the Seams
Science Daily (Mar. 27, 2012)
Science Daily (Mar. 27, 2012)
A
new study examining nearly 40 years of satellite imagery has revealed that the
floating ice shelves of a critical portion of West Antarctica are steadily
losing their grip on adjacent bay walls, potentially amplifying an already
accelerating loss of ice to the sea
The most extensive record yet of the evolution of the floating ice shelves in the eastern Amundsen Sea Embayment in West Antarctica shows that their margins, where they grip onto rocky bay walls or slower ice masses, are fracturing and retreating inland. As that grip continues to loosen, these already-thinning ice shelves will be even less able to hold back grounded ice upstream, according to glaciologists at The University of Texas at Austin’s Institute for Geophysics (UTIG).
Reporting in the Journal of Glaciology, the UTIG team found that the extent of ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea Embayment changed substantially between the beginning of the Landsat satellite record in 1972 and late 2011. These changes were especially rapid during the past decade. The affected ice shelves include the floating extensions of the rapidly thinning Thwaites and Pine Island Glaciers.
“Typically, the leading edge of an ice shelf moves forward steadily over time, retreating episodically when an iceberg calves off, but that is not what happened along the shear margins,” says Joseph MacGregor, research scientist associate and lead author of the study. An iceberg is said to calve when it breaks off and floats out to sea.
“Anyone can examine this region in Google Earth and see a snapshot of the same satellite data we used, but only through examination of the whole satellite record is it possible to distinguish long-term change from cyclical calving,” says MacGregor.
The shear margins that bound these ice shelves laterally are now heavily rifted, resembling a cracked mirror in satellite imagery until the detached icebergs finally drift out to the open sea. The calving front then retreats along these disintegrating margins. The pattern of marginal rifting and retreat is hypothesized to be a symptom, rather than a trigger, of the recent glacier acceleration in this region, but this pattern could generate additional acceleration.
“As a glacier goes afloat, becoming an ice shelf, its flow is resisted partly by the margins, which are the bay walls or the seams where two glaciers merge,” explains Ginny Catania, assistant professor at UTIG and co-author of the study. “An accelerating glacier can tear away from its margins, creating rifts that negate the margins’ resistance to ice flow and causing additional acceleration.”
The UTIG team found that the largest relative glacier accelerations occurred within and upstream of the increasingly rifted margins.
The observed style of slow-but-steady disintegration along ice-shelf margins has been neglected in most computer models of this critical region of West Antarctica, partly because it involves fracture, but also because no comprehensive record of this pattern existed. The authors conclude that several rifts present in the ice shelves suggest that they are poised to shrink further.

Active
fault may lie directly beneath Mount Fuji: researchers
Kyodo
An active fault as long as 30
km may lie directly beneath Mount Fuji, a team of researchers has said in a
recent survey report.
The possible fault was
detected through a simulated earthquake conducted during a crustal survey over
a distance of around 34 km from Fujiyoshida in Yamanashi Prefecture to Susono
in Shizuoka Prefecture, said Hiroshi Sato, professor at the Earthquake Research
Institute at the University of Tokyo.
"More studies are needed
to determine the depth and other details of the fault," Sato added.
While
faults have been confirmed around Mount Fuji, little is known about the seismic
structure beneath Japan's highest mountain due to mudflows caused by a huge
landslide that occurred around 2,600 to 2,900 years ago, as well as thick
layers of volcanic ash.

Perhaps the events I portray in my SF novel, Midpoint, will come to pass because of another trigger? In my book, a trigger causes the ice on Antarctica to start to slide into the sea, aided by the awakening of 35 dormant volcanoes that are under them. Yes, there are that many volcanoes on the Antarctic continent. Possibly more.
However, I did not have a polar shift because it was too radical for my story, but plausible. If all of the ice slid off or melted, it would raise the oceans about 50 meters all over the world. That is a lot of weight holding down the Antarctic crust. It would lift, causing the earthquakes and volcanoes around the world to become active.
In my book (still unpublished) not all of the ice reaches the sea, only about half because of the mountains that block it from sliding, but it is possible. In Midpoint the oceans rise about 50 meters taking out most of the coastal cities of the world and much of the low land connected by rivers to the oceans. Billions perish in weeks. Is this truly what is in store for humanity?

To all skeptics… don’t take potable water, food, shelter, law & order etc. for granted. Mathematics do not lie… global seismic activity is on a sharp rise.

IMHO...based on info from Sheldan Nidle from the GFL...the 2 lost continents are to rise up at this time. Lemuria in the Pacific and Atlantis in the Atlantic.
This looks like signs of this happening. Mr.Ed
Well. In my opinion, this all boils down to only one equation. Do we trust God or not?
Our Mother Earth is in the process of ASCENSION thru the highest levels of 5D Reality...she is releasing energies (via volcanoes, movement of her plates, crazy weather).
What can you do?
YOU CAN go outside - barefoot if you can - and HUG A TREE - send your love to MOTHER Earth...she is a loving living entity!!!
YOU CAN send love into the ethers - with your thoughts!!!

Not to worry. We'll keep on living in the next life. Or our bodies are adapting to the new living conditions. Piece of cake. Our bodies are changing into crystalline form.
That reminds me of this story: There was a person taking a stroll into unfamiliar territory. Fell upon a cliff. While falling, he got hold of a branch. He started yelling "Help! Is there anybody up there?". After a while, God heard him. God told the man: "If you have faith in me, then let go." The man replied: "Is there anybody ELSE up there?".
Most of the predicted calamities won't happen.
hey dingleberry, the earth is not the MOTHER! Sure, I will go right out in the snow and hug a flippin tree. Get real. You 5d and hollow earth peeps are wacked! Right along with the rest of the new ager liars.
Mother Earth is going through an Evolutionary Shift. She is growing in size! The Tectonic Plates are stretch lines in the belly of Mother Earth. They never separate, they stretch. All of the land continents fit together perfectly so no land masses will rise up out of the oceans. The poles will naturally shift because of the expanding Earth. No mystery here just bad information that has been dumped into our empty heads!
