OF THE MOMENT, WORLD QUAKE ACTIVITY OVER 4.O IS DOMINATED BY QUAKES ON THE WESTERN COASTS OF THE AMERICAS, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE BAJA PENINSULA WHERE A 6.6 QUAKE STRUCK 10 HOURS AGO

MAINTAIN ALL HEADS UP: COSMIC QUADRUPLE WHAMMY PERIOD - This current period from now through to about January 20 is without doubt the most dangerous period for major tectonic reactions to the cosmic vectors during the past year, since the rupture of the Indo Trench off the Northern portion of Sumatra on Christmas 2004. So far we have been fortunate.

The New Moon Perigee factor is now waning after having caused only two 7.0 plus quakes in remote zones, a 7.1 in Fiji and a 7.4 in the Mid Atlantic Ridge (which was followed by a major increase in seismic activity in Baja and Alaska). We are fortunate because nondestructive quakes or eruptions hit human populations. But soon the Full Moon factor will come into play and keep this Perihelion period a guessing game.

WHAT IS NOT A GUESSING GAME IS THAT IN THIS PERIHELION PERIOD (which is perfected approximately January 9 after which the Earth begins to move out away further from the Sun) HAS BROUGHT THE INDUCTION OF A MAJOR ANOMALY IN THE EARTH’S WOBBLE, POSSIBLY THE LARGEST ANOMALY WHICH HAS BEEN SEEN IN OVER 100 YEARS.

Polar Motion Vortex:

CONFIRMING LAST’S WEEKS OBSERVATIONS WITH NEW INFORMATION:

A shift in the phase of Chandler's Wobble is most apparent, which will shorten the seven year Chandler's Wobble this time around. As well, a large acceleration in the shift of the average location of the Spin Axis is now "apparent".It is a little too early to define the numbers and magnitudes of this shift, the wobble is untidy and may suddenly begin to move in a way which corrects or cancels out some of the anomaly which is now apparent. If so, this would leave us with MERELY the largest “dent” in the wobble which has been seen since the 1930’s.

But as things look now, the Earth is being subjected to forces which are inducing a rather large PHASE SHIFT in the timing or frequency of the wobble. This shift is huge. Apparently, as of this week, about 10 months early on a 7.1 year baseline. To see this shift, go to the Wobble Tracker plot which I composed today at:
<http://www.michaelmandeville.com/earthmonitor/polarmotion/plots/wobbletrack_Jan2_06.gif>http://www.michaelmandeville.com/earthmonitor/polarmotion/plots/wobbletrack_Jan2_06.gif

As well, the spiral track for 2005 to present (shown in red) is far too tight, showing a pirouette at least one third the size it should be.

These things can easily be seen by comparing the small inner circle to the right of the current track. That small circle is the X MIN spiral track for 1999. The plot line begins in black with January 1, 1999. That track was anomalous compared to others during the preceding 30 years. The current track for 2005 (and for the first three days in January) is even stranger.

If the track continues along these lines, the total displacement of the spiral for this year will be about .5 arc seconds, some 60 feet, which is about 10 feet per year. This is a rate which is about 4 to 8 times faster than all of the twentieth century.

If the track “repairs” itself by jiggling downward and toward the right to trace out more of an overall circle, the phase shift and displacement will be smaller than the numbers I have given here. I expect some recovery towards a more average size for this X MIN spiral during 2006. But even if so, I also expect that it will not be a normal track and will include a significant phase shift and show a much faster rate of displacement than the previous century. Having said this, it is impossible to guess at the moment how this is grinding out.

Clearly we are confirming Cayce’s predictions on a monthly basis.

The Change In The Earth is accelerating. Clearly another cycle in the shifting of the poles BEGAN IN 1999 OR SO, DEFINITELY BY THE 2000/2001 dates he affirmed. All this arguably increases Edgar Cayce’s rate of confirmed accuracy for the Earth Changes from 84% to about 92%.

One other factoid impression can be abstracted out of the current anomaly. The Spin Axis is falling towards negative numbers on the X axis, which means that the crust of the Earth is bobbing England currently to the South. (My eyes crossed last week and I reported this as correcting to the North). Or, in other words, the Pacific crust is flowing up over the Pole into the Atlantic Hemisphere. It appears to be doing so along a vector which is approximately Longitude East 170 degrees to East 145 degrees. I do not know what this means at the moment.

THIS ANOMALY, SHOWING UP AT PERIHELION, IS NO ACCIDENT. IT IS PART OF THE (HAMLET’S) COSMIC MILL, THE CYCLES SYNCHRONIZING TO GRIND OUT THEIR INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCES.

Everything happening physically on the Earth is incessantly connected to the cosmic forces here, just exactly as the ancients taught.

This pix means so much more than numbers defining the difference.

Most significantly, the alignment of planets is still sufficient to causemajor solar storms and sudden ionic impacts on the Earth through toabout the middle of January.

These past few days we have seen significant shape shifting activity in the Earth with a 7.0 plus quake in the South Sandwich Islands, near the margin of the Antarctic Plate and the Mid Atlantic Rift.

CONTINUE WITH A STRONG HEADS UP.

Major quakes could occur in any ofthe usual and historical zones and are still more probable than they have been for at least a year.

Settle in somewhere cozy and warm, avoid travel, but be ready to fleefrom coastal zones or major earthquake destruction at the drop of a hat.

Solar Vortex Planets:

AS STATED IN PREVIOUS WEEKS - Currently Venus is moving into alignment with Earth while Mercury aligns on the other side of the Sun with Pluto. This double-headed alignment will be near perfect on both legs about January 9, 2006. This will bring in a new surge of sunspot and solar activity about January 1-4, during the New Moon Syzygy in Perigee, even as the Earth approaches its Perihelion (closest approach to the Sun during the first week of January). Venus and Earth will as a pair move into alignment with Saturn about January 22 while Mercury is close to an alignment with Neptune (which it will perfect a couple of days later). This most likely will induce even greater solar activity, which will likely surge out from the Sun about mid-January.

Weather: From these alignments we will probably see two major storm waves peaked into extremes by the Sun, the first to hit during the first two weeks of January, the second to hit during the last two weeks of January.Solar Vortex Current Conditions

COMMENT: Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain quiet. During the previous rotation a fast stream was encountered on Dec 10th which led to sporadic minor storm conditions Dec 11th; the stream would beexpected to return around Jan 6th. Whilst it is hard to identify alikely source the same was true on earlier rotations so we tentativelyforecast sporadic active conditions towards the end of the week.

Solar activity is expected to remain low to very low with NOAA AR 0841(Catania 89) holding the greatest, albeit small, potential for an isolated event. Old NOAA AR 0834 is due to rotate over the E limb before the end of the week which may increase the background X-ray and 10.7 cmradio fluxes, though it was declining during its previous transit.

Fluxgate Monitor: U of Alaska – now flat line confirming Belgium’s SIDC statements above.

SUNSPOT COUNT (BOULDER NASA COUNT) was 39 for January 3, likely to fall for the next 48 hours.

Basically, the series of planetary alignments through to January 24 will keep us all guessing as major storm waves pound added extremes into this winter's worst weather periods.

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED: On January 8, Venus and Earth will align, this also has never failed to produce a spectacular result, but then I said the same thing about Earth Mars. So spin the roulette wheel and find your number that way.

This is virtually on PERIHELION, in fact without looking at an ephemeris, I would say that this IS PERIHELION because the orbital synchronicity of the two planets on this swing MUST mark the Earth's closest approach to the Sun. I wonder how often this synchronicity repeats. Then on January 24, 2006, Earth and Saturn will align, with Venus close into the alignment, with Mercury nearly 180 opposite on the other side of the Sun. I will be very interested and eager to see what this configuration brings. Remember, as we have seen the past few years, the peak sunspot periods should be about 3-10 days in advance of the alignment, sometimes up to 3-5 days afterwards.

Storm fronts are energized in as little as 24 hours but generally the full result in broad storm fronts between continental air masses and marine air vapor flow does not seem to be felt until about 3-5 days later. These then take another 3-5 days to work across the continents.

All in all the Sun is likely to be highly unpredictable during the next 30 days, some additional major spikes in activity are likely to be seen. Thus, we will likely see more than two waves of extremes pour through the Sun and though the weather fronts through to the end of January.

EARTH-MOON VORTEX - QUAKE AND VOLCANIC ACTIVITY LAST SEVEN DAYS

So far, quake activity is apparently about normal in frequency and magnitude, albeit with one extra 7.0 plus quake in the bargain.

AS OF THE MOMENT, WORLD QUAKE ACTIVITY OVER 4.O IS DOMINATED BY QUAKES ON THE WESTERN COASTS OF THE AMERICAS, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE BAJA PENINSULA WHERE A 6.6 QUAKE STRUCK ABOUT EIGHT HOURS AGO.

As well, four minor quakes struck in the New Madrid Fault Zone area in and near Southern Illinois.

Even so summary quake activity numbers for North America are below normal for this period.

From the SWVC, volcano stats:
6 restless – Yellowstone, Alaska, Kamchatka –, Mauna Loa and White Island
17 active
61 on alert status
These stats downgraded seven volcanoes to restless or to on-alert. This downgrade in the status reports happens at the beginning of every year. Volcanoes which cannot be confirmed for the lists are summarily dropped.There does appear to be some over all diminishment this week as well in the latest reports, esp. in the Northern Arc of the Pacific Rim. Kamchatka and St. Helens all appear to be down. Very little ash of lava is evident except at a half dozen or so “regulars”.

Popo gave out 17 exhalations (explosive puffs) of steam and ash today. Most active zones remain the Carib Plate, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, and Kamchatka. All these zones are collision points with the Pacific Ocean Bottom Plate. Expect new eruptions at nearly any time to commence a new season of acceleration in volcanic activity.

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED: The biggest danger period coming up is the New Moon Perigee at Perihelion, from about December 30 through to about mid January. Solar Activity should be intense during this time for the Venus Earth alignment and this "touch" could add impetus to earthquakes as well. Solar flares and CME's can suddenly and briefly impact the Earth with a force which is up to 30 times the gravitational vector of the Moon. This jostle on one continental slab may produce quakes.

All in all, then, the first week in January will be an exceptionally dangerous one on all fronts in the vortex. We have a full-fledged Four Whammy danger period

This period actually has one additional whammy built into it for the Northern Arc of the Pacific Rim of Fire. I cannot explain why, but during a X MIN year when the wobble is as small as it gets during its seven year cycle of expansion and contraction, seismic activity mag 3.0 plus in Japan and California go way up, even doubling overall for the year. This has been seen several times since 1962.

Worldwide, overall quake activity above 3.0 decreases or at least seems to "pause" in its growth curve during the X MIN, but overall volcanic activity increases RADICALLY, which is followed in the next expansionary phase of Chandler's Wobble with an increase in the acceleration of Earthquake activity. This pattern has been seen repeatedly since 1973.

These patterns can be seen ever more clearly in the charts I have updated for the "Return of the Phoenix".

Based on these charts I can predict that 2006 will be the most dangerous earthquake period in California and Japan since 2000, with "big ones" much more probable than during the past several years. This zone of danger will persist all year and into 2007 through at least the Spring. Thereafter the danger will diminish through the next X Wave cycle of Chandler's Wobble.

Volcanic activity is already surging upwards and during 2006 will be more explosive and colorful than in the previous five years. St. Helens is likely to have the major eruption it has been building up towards this past year, along with Popo, Colima, and of course with major flare-ups in the steady erupters, including esp. Etna and Kilauea. If St. Helens erupts, expect it will have company in the Far East in Kamchatka, the Aleutians, the Kuriles, and possibly Japan and the Philippines.

Any volcanic pre-signaling during 2006 should be taken with GRAVE ATTENTION. Often times the flare up of pre-signals lead to nothing, but during the next 18 months they are more probable than at other times to actually lead to increased activity.

When the revised books are in the can, I will make these charts visible to subscribers.

THE TRILOGY VORTEX: The revised version of Book One is available now at the website. Book Two is almost finished but I have spent a lot more time than I thought on the finishing details. Events and perspectives keep evolving so fast and I am trying to freeze frame a moving target in a way which will look as good 20 years from now as it does now. Getting that right is tricky business. Book Three will slide to late January. After finishing them, I will put the entire trilogy into paperback and hardbound editions.

ECONOMIC VORTEX: as previously reported

Don't blink. Hold your course.

Meltdown window: mid-Spring to mid-Fall. Almost all observers agree that the housing bubble is the driver of the current economy and that it is bound to break in 2006. We are pretty much at the beginning of 1929 with the same kind of psycho-dynamics and vastly over-inflated bubbles at work with easy credit far too easy to obtain to inflate the bubble even more. Welcome to the re-run of the Great Depression, you are right on time.

AS OBSERVED LAST WEEK: In Iraq, a new government, thankfully, will form, a national unity move will begin, and by March 2006, the U.S. will be asked to leave rather abruptly so that the Iraqi's can get on with fixing the basic utilities in the country with the help of Iran/Gulf States money. So will the U.S. be out of there in, say, six months? With the Iran play now unfolding it very difficult to predict much of anything....see the next item.

VERY PATHETHIC PSYCHO VORTEX:This week we witness the Mass Broadcast Industry, esp. CNN, puddle down into a completely obvious morass of editorial stupification in a vain, last desperate effort to hallucinate fig leaves to shield its sheeple from the carnage of the massively imploding U.S. government. After 40 hours of nonstop international exposure of a relatively common industrial mining accident, including endless hours of heartfelt but ignorant hillbilly talk tormenting us with a constant barrage of the World’s Worst Grammar, the American people were heroically spared almost all exposure to what is likely to be the second greatest corruption case in American history (Ken Lay was the Grandfather of all corruption). The implications of Abramhoff’s plea bargain and testimony are rolling through Washington DC like a volley of hand grenades. Several to lots of political careers are going to be greatly and adversely affected, the entire balance of power in the national government could shift as a result. Fortunately, the American people are being spared having to think about this sordid possibility by the dedicated sacrifices of CNN’s editorial class who are laboring under the severe duress of over-stuffed paychecks in over-stuffed lifestyles. Or perhaps they are working so hard to cover up and ignore the international revelations which are exposing the Zionist maneuvering to set Israel or the U.S. up to mugging Iran on a dark and stormy night.

In any event, this first week in January is especially auspicious at seeing just how crooked the Mass Media has become in their chosen roles as shills to the Great American Empire Dream. With these bubbleheads, a reckoning must come. A free and informed citizenry cannot tolerate these sociopaths.

AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED: THE THREAT OF A BROADER WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST AS A RESULT OF WESTERN IMPERIAL POLICIES IS EXTREMELY REAL AND EXCEPTIONALLY GRAVE. Neither Israel nor the U.S. can accomplish their goals with military force against Iran. Yet there really is a faction of well-entrenched Imperialists in the U.S. and Britain who are and who intend to continue to pursue policies of violent dominance against many Arab nations.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST STORY OF STORIES OF THIS NASCENT CENTURY. Their only accomplishment will be rather like their accomplishments in Iraq. There will be the gradual generation of World War IV and about 3 billion humans hostilely polarized for the remainder of Century 21 against everything American and Jewish. Not a very wise course of action. I am completely convinced that the fall of Israeli bombs in Iran will begin the rise of Nostradamus's fated figure, the so-called Anti-Christ, who will essentially be the "Mirror" in which the West will see its own terrible image. Already we can see in Iran the nascent President looking more and more like Bush's mirror. An Israeli strike, in Iran, or an American one, will be conducted by exactly the same arrogant, bigoted, stupid mentality which created "Custer's Last Stand". The result will be the same, except this: the West will not be able to eventually over-run these Eastern lands.
