Superstorm Confirmation
13-Nov-2009
Whitley first learned about climate change from the
mysterious individual he calls the
Master of
the Key. Now science has confirmed the theory he put forth
in his book "The Coming Global Superstorm," which became
the hit film The Day After Tomorrow. Are there more
superstorms in our

New 2012 Journal from Whitley
13-Nov-2009
And a special message just for subscribers -
In Whitley's provocative new
Journal,
he writes: "I have gone on record as saying that I doubt that
anything particularly noteworthy will happen on December 21,
2012.
However, this does not mean that I don't think we are in an
era of great change that is going to impact life on earth
profoundly. We are in such an era, and the changes are not
simply of our
own making." He reveals what he thinks will REALLY happen
on that date in a new talk just for

Is This Famous Photo a Fake?
10-Nov-2009
The answer may reveal the truth about the JFK assassination -
A computer scientist who specializes in digital forensics has
reanalyzed the famous Lee Harvey Oswald photograph in

Oswald

The PERFECT fuel would be air and France is developing a

New Whitley's Journal on Reincarnation Proof

Whitley Strieber was blown away by the guests on this

there is life after death, especially after meeting the
Master of
the Key. In his new
Journal
he writes: "Long ago, the
Visitors indicated to me that the primary difference
between us and other conscious species is that we are soul
blind and they are not. They do not think in terms of death,
but rather are fully integrated in and out of the time stream,
and are on truly extraordinary journeys through life that are
just radically different from our own." Don't miss this one (and

CERN Could be Dangerous
03-Nov-2009
Some
questions are so hard to answer that we have to
really
think about them (Anne Strieber reads her paper about this
for
subscribers
this week). For instance, if
time
travel exists, why can't we go back in time and kill our
grandparents (which means we would never have been born)?
The principle of least action means that could never happen,
because nature always takes the simplest and shortest route
to the solution of any problem, meaning that no effort to
assassinate an ancestor can succeed if it would mean that
you could not exist. Scientists think that
this principle is what will protect us from dangerous
repercussions from the
CERN
collider as well.

of the animals on it won't. It's happened before: 55 million
years ago earth had a sudden spike in global
warming caused by too many greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere. In those days, the CO2 did what it would do
today: 85% of the gas dissolved in the ocean, while the
remaining 15% went into the atmosphere. All this CO2
persisted for tens of thousands of years, increasing the
temperatures of both sea and the land.

How Weirdness Leads to Logic
02-Nov-2009
At the Stargate Conference, Anne Strieber told how people
who have had contact with seeming "aliens" usually describe
their experiences in strange, almost surrealistic terms. This
one of the things that separates real contact from created
contact stories, but it is also one of the primary reasons that
these people's stories are doubted by skeptics. Now
neurologists have uncovered a reason for this high
strangeness: It may be preparing us to act for a more logical
future (perhaps battles against things like global warming and
nuclear arms, that could spell the end of our species).

If their students are behaving badly, teachers should spray
