mULTI-aGENCY sUPER sURGE: U.S. government shenanigans, January 2019

The Faulkner County Quorum Court improperly used $350,000 in restricted taxpayer funds that were meant to support the 20th Judicial Circuit public defender’s office

CALIFORNIA: Hawthorne based taxpayer (NASA) funded Space X eliminating 7-hundred jobs!

Several Fairfield Police personnel disciplined for sex ‘crimes’

Barack Obama’s buddy Mayor Rahm Emanuel spent an incredible amount of taxpayer money on big corporations to encourage economic development. However, entire swaths of the city have seen little return on investments made with their tax dollars: “Development that does not address displacement is not development, it is whitewashing our neighborhoods and our communities.”-Amisha Patel, Grassroots Collaborative 

Community groups try to slow down taxpayer raping $5 billion Lincoln Yards development

Des Plaines Moves Forward With Oakton Corridor Tax Increment Financing

MARYLAND: A former Baltimore cop has published a book detailing the level of crimes committed by cops, including fake drug busts, ‘disappearing’ drugs from police evidence lockers, just to name a few: “I learned about cops burglarizing houses and transporting stolen antiques in a paddy wagon. I’d seen cops sleeping and drinking on the job. I lost trust in fellow officers I had respected who were accepting bribes – even one who was my academy instructor. After two and a half years, I knew I had to get out of there!”James I. Cabezas, who helped convict state lawmakers, city councilmen and, famously, a Baltimore mayor

(Reminds me of a cop crime while I was working in the News Department of KYMA, in Arizona, in 1995.  Store owners in a shopping plaza were reporting massive thefts, they were taking place overnight even though the shop owners were paying the city of Yuma to have cops patrol the plaza.  Yep it was a cop!  The dumb cop that was committing the crime didn’t stop to realize that it’d be easy to finger him because the thefts took place only on his watch.  Other cops staked out the plaza on his watch and caught him red handed.)

Department of Energy secretly shipped plutonium from South Carolina to Nevada

Nevada Army National Guard ends lease of Camp Stead after 50 years.  The land is owned by the city of Reno and was leased at one dollar per year, but don’t think it saved state taxpayers any money.  Official reports say the state Military Department spent millions of tax-dollars, including $4-million in just the past ten years, upgrading the property.  The lease was allowed to expire because the property is part of the Reno-Tahoe Airport, and the Federal Aviation Administration says the land must be used for airport operations.

For proof how paranoid NYC is, taxpayer dollars being spent on having New York Army National Guard conduct Operation Empire Shield “…patrolling through Penn during a Multi-Agency Super Surge, a mission where multiple law enforcement agencies have a very strong show of Force and work in a Unified, collaborative Effort to share intelligence, best practices, relevant information in a Unified effort to detect, deter and defeat terrorism.”

OHIO:  City of Barberton warning of massive layoffs due to the loss $1.5 million in state government funding, the continued rising costs of day-to-day operations, the loss of $1.3 million in income tax revenue as private sector employer Babcock & Wilcox relocates its 600 employees to Akron later this year, and carry over of last-year’s $800,000 deficit!

OREGON: The local taxpayer owned former Sgt. Jerome F. Sears U.S. Army Reserve Center building was to be remodeled into Portland’s new Cascadia Event crisis center (Bureau of Emergency Management response center), but nine years later nothing is being done because, according to local news media, exalted city leaders can’t still decided which emergency response unit will use it, how to rebuild it or how to fund it!

A study published by Science Advances claims that you can determine if you’re experiencing a major magnitude 7 to 9 quake 10 seconds into the shaking. I’ve experienced dozens of earthquakes in my life, both large and small, and I concur there is a noticeable difference in the M6 and large quakes; if you’re directly over the epicenter the Earth heaves under your feet, I’ve seen people literally thrown straight up into the air by a couple of feet (I was sitting in a parked minivan at the time and it bounced violently, as if we were off-roading at 30mph.)  If you’re on the periphery of a major quake it feels like a giant dog has grabbed you and is trying to shake you to death.

“Most distant objects all swing out in one direction, in a very strange way that shouldn’t happen….the only way we could get them to swing in one direction is that there is a massive planet…keeping them in place…”-Mike Brown, Professor of Planetary Astronomy

In time for All Hallow’s Evening (Celtic harvest festival, which is fitting because not only is Nibiru a Messiah Planet, it’s also a Reaper Planet) astronomers finally revealed that they discovered what could be Nibiru, or a Nibiru (actually, there’s lots of those thing in the Oort Cloud)!

Astronomers are actively looking for what the ancient Sumerians called Nibiru, a planet that lives in the Oort Cloud (farther away than the Kuiper Belt) and periodically ‘crosses’ through the Plane of the Ecliptic, causing massive catastrophes to any inner solar system planets it comes near to (or impacts).

The discovery was revealed in The Astronomical Journal, number 4, volume 156, October 2018. The exo-planet was named The Goblin.  It’s two and a half times farther away from the Sun than is Pluto.

For more technical information about The Goblin read New dwarf planet nicknamed The Goblin.

Video explainer how astronomers came to believe the Sumerians at Space.com.

“The object itself is likely to be more massive than the Earth, probably a little less massive than Neptune…… Its orbit, unlike the orbits of the known planets, is not nearly circular….20 times bigger than the orbit of Neptune. ….the orbital period of this punitive ninth planet is 20-thousand years!”-Konstantin Batygin, Assistant Professor of Planetary Science

“…the invader itself became a member of the solar system, a 12th member because they [Sumerians] counted the Sun, the Earth, its Moon, and not nine but ten planets….  This is really the tenth planet which is the 12th member of the solar system….    …each time that the planet Nibiru, that was usually depicted as a winged disc, was on its way back to our vicinity…..the symbolism…changed…to the cross…   …the orbit of Nibiru roughly 3-thousand-6-hundred years…”-Zecharia Sitchen, The End of Days (first published in 2007) lecture

Video of Zecharia Sitchen (1920-2010) giving one of his last lectures (The End of Days lecture), explaining the concept of Nibiru and the creation of Earthing civilization:

“At that time, in the heart of the Deep [Oort Cloud?] a god was engendered, In a Chamber of Fates [The Sun?], a place of destinies, was he born. By an artful Creator was he fashioned, the son of his own Sun he was. From the Deep where he was engendered, the god from his family in a rushing departed; A gift of his Creator, the Seed of Life, with him away he carried. To the void he set his course; a new destiny he was seeking. The first to glimpse the wandering celestial was the ever-watchful Antu [Neptune, Virgin Mary?]. Alluring was his figure, a radiance he was beaming, Lordly was his gait, exceedingly great was his course. Of all the gods he was the loftiest, surpassing theirs his circuit was. The first to glimpse him was Antu, her breast by child never sucked. Come, be my son! she called to him. Let me your mother become! She cast her net and made him welcome, made his course for the purpose suited. Her words filled the newcomer’s heart with pride; the one who would nurse him made him haughty. His head to doubled size grew larger, four members at his sides he sprouted. He moved his lips in acceptance, a godly fire from them blazed forth. Toward Antu his course he turned, his face to An [Uranus, John the Carpenter?] soon to show. When An saw him, My son! My son! with exaltation he shouted. To leadership you shall be consigned, a host by your side will be your servants! Let Nibiru [Shepard, Messiah, Reaper, Judgement Day, Jesus of Nazareth?] be your name, as Crossing [crosses the Plane of the Ecliptic, Cardinal Directions, Sign of the Cross?] forever known!”Lost Book of Enki, from Tablet Two (first published in 2002)

It’s been six years since I last wrote one of my Japan, Modern Day Atlantis articles, but its looks like 2018 is another big-bad-year for Japan.  The original story of Atlantis wasn’t just about a natural disaster, it was about human ignorance, arrogance, immorality and never ending wars.
