World Truths

THE CASE OF THE LURKING PLANET

 

BACK to Main Page

"Far beyond the solar system's nine known planets, a body as massive as Mars may once have been part of our planetary system -- and it might still be there;”

The lead paragraph in a science-fiction script?
The lead paragraph from an article by Zecharia Sitchin about Nibiru?

No.  It is the lead paragraph in a report in Science News of April 7, 2001 headlined "A Comet’s Odd Orbit Hints At Hidden Planet.”

The article reports the conclusions of an international team of astronomers who have studied an unusual comet discovered last year, designated 2000 CR/105.  It follows a vast elliptical orbit around our Sun – an orbit that takes it way out to some 4.5 billion kilometers from the Sun, and brings it back at its closest to the Sun to the vicinity of Neptune; it is an orbit whose period “takes roughly 3,300 years” (according to Sky&Telescope News of April 5, 2001).

“Such an oblong orbit is usually a sign that an object has come under the gravitational influence of a massive body," wrote R. Cowen in Science News.  Was this the gravitational pull of Neptune?  In a study to be published in the Journal Icarus, the team of astronomers (led by Brett Gladman of the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur in Nice, France), after analyzing all the possibilities, does not think so.  An alternative solution, they say, is that  “the comet's orbit could be the handiwork of an as-yet unseen planet”  -- as massive as Mars -- "that would have to lie some 200 AU from the Sun," in the so-called Kuiper Belt of cometary and other planetary debris.  This would also explain "why many members of the Belt have orbits that angle away from the plane in which the nine known planets orbit the Sun."

“Undoubtedly, something massive knocked the hell out of the Belt," Harold F. Levison of the Southwest Research institute in Boulder, Colorado, told the magazine. “The question is whether it is still there now."

“Comet’s Course Hints at Mystery Planet,” was how the journal Science headlined the discovery news in its issue of 6 April 2001.  The special report, written by the Dutch astronomer Govert Schilling, summed up the findings in the following lead paragraph:

"A Supercomet following an unexpectedly far-flung path around the sun suggests that an unidentified planet once lurked in the outermost reaches of the solar system, an international team of astronomers reports.  What's more, the mysterious object may still be there."

 

Now, As the Sumerians Said…

Readers of my books may well join me now in saying:  So what else is new?

Ever since the publication of my first book (The 12th Planet) in 1976 I have asserted that Sumerian and other ancient Near Eastern texts and depictions showed familiarity with a complete Solar System that included, beside the Sun and the Moon, ten (not nine) planets -- the tenth planet (or twelfth member of the Solar System) having a vast elliptical orbit that lasts 3,600 years. Its Sumerian name was Nibiru. 

I have-suggested that Sumerian/Akkadian texts such as Enuma Elish (also called the Babylonian Epic of Creation) were not mythological tales, but records of sophisticated advanced knowledge.  Establishment scientists and scholars (see a previous article, The Case of the Misplaced Teapot, as an example) resist such an inevitable conclusion because it requires the acceptance of the ancient claim that Earth had been visited by Extraterrestrials, the ANUNNAKI ("Those Who From Heaven to Earth Came") of Sumerian lore.

According to the ancient texts as interpreted by me, Nibiru was a planet ejected from some other planetary system in outer space that was captured into our Solar System as it passed near Neptune.  It became involved in a collision with a pre-existing planet where the debris of the Asteroid Belt are now.  As a result of that collision, some 4 billion years ago, the Earth and the Moon came to be where they are now.

And, what do you know? In an article titled Neptune Attacks! In the 7 April 2001 issue of the magazine New Scientist, Ivan Semeniak wrote thus:

“There is new evidence that a sudden barrage of deadly debris crashed against the Earth and the Moon 3.9 billion years ago… What triggered this onslaught?  Something in the structure of the Solar System must have changed.”

The “something,” I am more certain than ever, was Nibiru.

 

The Sumerian Descriptions of our solar system.

We know today that beyond the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn lie more major planets, Uranus and Neptune, and a small planet, Pluto. But

TIME LINE OF RESEARCH REGARDING THE "SEARCH FOR PLANET X"

 

  • In 1841, John Couch Adams began investigating the by then quite large residuals in the motion of Uranus. In 1845, Urbain Le Verrier started to investigate them, too. Adams presented two different solutions to the problem, assuming that the deviations were caused by the gravitation from an unknown planet.
  • Sept 30, 1846 --- one week after the discovery of Neptune, Le Verrier declared that there may be still another unknown planet out there. On October 10, Neptune's large moon Triton was discovered, which yielded an easy way to accurately determine the mass of Neptune, which turned out to be 2% larger than expected from the perturbations upon Uranus.
  • Another attempt to find a trans-Neptunian planet was done in 1877 by David Todd. He used a "graphical method", from the residuals of Uranus, he derived elements for a trans-Neptunian planet: mean distance 52 a.u., period 375 years, magnitude fainter than 13.
  •  In 1879, Camille Flammarion added another hint as to the existence of a planet beyond Neptune: the aphelia of periodic comets tend to cluster around the orbits of major planets. Jupiter has the greatest share of such comets, and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune also have a few each.
  •  Percival Lowell, most well known as a proponent for canals on Mars, built a private observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. Lowell called his hypothetical planet Planet X, and performed several searches for it, without success. Lowell's first search for Planet X came to an end in 1909, but in 1913 he started a second search, with a new prediction of Planet X: epoch 1850-01-01, mean long 11.67 deg, perih. long 186, eccentricity 0.228, mean dist 47.5 a.u. long arc node 110.99 deg, inclination 7.30 deg, mass 1/21000 solar masses. Lowell and others searched in vain for this Planet X in 1913-1915. In 1915, Lowell published his theoretical results of Planet X. It is ironic that this very same year, 1915, two faint images of Pluto was recorded at Lowell observatory, although they were never recognized as such until after the discovery of Pluto (1930).

    Recent calculations by the United States Naval Observatory have confirmed the orbital perturbation exhibited by Uranus and Neptune, which Dr. Thomas C Van Flandern, an astronomer at the observatory, says could be explained by "a single undiscovered planet". He and a colleague, Dr. Richard Harrington, calculate that the 10th planet should be two to five times more massive than Earth and have a highly elliptical orbit that takes it some 5 billion miles beyond that of Pluto


    New York Times
    June 19, 1982

Something out there beyond the farthest reaches of the known solar system seems to be tugging at Uranus and Neptune. Some gravitational force keeps perturbing the two giant planets, causing irregularities in their orbits. The force suggests a presence far away and unseen, a large object that may be the long- sought Planet X. The last time a serious search of the skies was made it led to the discovery in 1930 of Pluto, the ninth planet. But the story begins more than a century before that, after the discovery of Uranus in 1781 by the English astronomer and musician William Herschel. Until then, the planetary system seemed to end with Saturn.Today, scientists accept theories concerning plate tectonics. There are articles and studies showing that, at one time, all of Earth continents were on one side of the planet. What the stories don't explore is the question, if all the continents were on one side, what was on the other? The other side has been described as a tremendous gap, matching the Sumerian story of how the Earth came about. The Sumerians said Earth was really half a planet called Tiamat, which broke up in a collision with Nibiru, [or Planet X].

The discovery of new planets has, in the last two hundred years, owed more to the science of mathematics than it has to the design of bigger and better telescopes. The unaccounted-for mathematical irregularities in the orbits of the outer planets have prompted astronomers to speculate upon the existence of a further, undiscovered planet. Astronomers are so certain of this planet's existence that they have already named it 'Planet X' - the Tenth Planet.

In 1982, NASA themselves officially recognized the possibility of Planet X, with an announcement that 'some kind of mystery object is really there - far beyond the outermost planets'. One year later, the newly launched IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) spotted a large mysterious object in the depths of space. The Washington Post summarized an interview with the chief IRAS scientist from JPL, California, as follows:

"A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope... 'All I can tell you is that we don't know what it is', said Gerry Neugebauer, chief IRAS scientist.

The 6,000 year old Sumerian descriptions of our solar system include one more planet they called "Nibiru", which means "Planet of the crossing".The descriptions of this planet by the Sumerians match precisely the specifications of "Planet X" (the Tenth Planet), which is currently being sought by astronomers in the depths of our own Solar System. Why has Planet X not been seen in recent times? Views from modern and ancient astronomy, which both suggest a highly elliptical, comet-like orbit, takes Planet X into the depths of space, well beyond the orbit of Pluto. We discovered Pluto with our telescopes just recently in 1930. Is it not possible that there are other forces at work on our solar  system besides the nine planets we know of? YES!!!! The Sumerian descriptions of Our Solar System are being confirmed with modern advances in science. This article will show actual diagrams from the Sumerian times and how the accuracy for describing the planets is overwhelming!

To illustrate some of the amazing knowledge the Sumerians possessed 6,000 years ago, I will use a reference to something that to this day is still being taught in our high schools and colleges. When the Earth was much older, we can determine the land mass was a once a clumped together mass at one point in time. But due to the process known as "Continental Drift" the land clump was slowly pulled apart to where the current land masses are today. We can see clear proof that the continents were all once connected by simply looking at a map of the Earth and seeing how the pieces fit. That would only mean that at one time, Earth was basically half a planet. If you were to syphon all the water off of Earth's surface, you would see a large gapping hole where the ocean has filled in this tremendous missing part of the Earth. Where did it go? Why is Earth only half a planet? The diagrams shown here are descriptions from the Sumerians explaining how our Earth came to be... They state that PLANET X, (Nibiru) as they called it, collided with our primitive Earth in the past. Creating the asteroid belt and forever becoming another member of our solar system in a comet like 3,600 year orbit around the sun.

"PANGEA" EXPLAINED BY THE SUMERIANS 6,000 YEARS AGO

In February, 1971, the United States launched Pioneer 10. Pioneer 10 scientists attached to it an engraved aluminium plaque. It attempts to tell whoever might find the plaque that Mankind is male and female, etc., and that (Pioneer 10) is from the 3rd planet of this Sun. Our astronomy is geared to the notion that Earth is the 3rd planet, which indeed it is if one begins the count from the centre of our system, the Sun. But to someone nearing our solar system from the outside, the 1st planet to be encountered would be Pluto, the 2nd Neptune, the 3rd Uranus, the 4th Saturn, the 5th Jupiter, the 6th Mars .. and the Earth would be 7th.

The (12th) Planet's periodic appearance and disappearance from Earth's view confirms the assumption of its permanence in solar orbit. In this it acts like many comets. If so, why are our astronomers not aware of the existence of this planet? The fact is that even an orbit half as long as the lower figure for (the comet) Kohoutek, (every 7,500 years), would take the 12th Planet about 6 times farther away from us than Pluto - a distance at which such a planet would not be visible from Earth. In fact, the known planets beyond Saturn were first discovered not visually but mathematically.

Mesopotamian texts exalt the planet's radiance and suggested that it

The Mesopotamian texts spoke of the planet's periodic appearance as an anticipated, predictable, and observable event. The nearing planet, however, was expected to cause rains and flooding, as its strong gravitational effects have been known to do. Like the Mesopotamian savants, the Hebrew prophets considered the time of the planet's approaching Earth and becoming visible to Mankind as ushering in a new era.

 
Many of the Cylinder seals describe the movements of the planet and the three crucial points at which its appearance can be observed and charted from earth. The first opportunity to observe the 12th planet as its orbit brings it back to the Earth's vicinity , then, was when it aligned with Mercury (Point A) - by our calculations, at an angle of 30 degrees to the imaginary celestial axis of Sun-Earth-perigee. Coming closer to the Earth and thus appearing to "rise" farther in the Earth's skies (another 30 degrees), the planet crossed the orbit of Jupiter at (Point B). Finally arriving at the place where Planet X originally Hit the primitive Earth (Point C). 

The actual expectations for the return of the Kingdom of Heaven, was thus based on the actual experiences of Earth's people: their witnessing the periodic return of the 12th planet. 

The planet's periodic appearance and disappearance from Earth's view confirms the assumptions of its permanence in the solar orbit. It this it acts like many comets. 

 
The Mesopotamian and biblical sources present strong evidence that the orbital period of the 12th Planet is 3,600 years. The number 3,600 was written in Sumerian as a large circle. The epithet for the planet, shar, also meant "a perfect circle" or "a completed cycle". It also meant the number 3,600. The identity of the three terms - planet/orbit/3,600 - could not be a mere coincidence. The reign periods (a Sumerian text) gives are also perfect multiples of the 3,600 year shar. The conclusion that suggests itself is that these shar's of rulership were related to the orbital period shar, 3,600 years.

All the people of the ancient world considered the periodic nearing of the 12th Planet as a sign of great upheavals, great changes, new eras. The Mesopotamian texts spoke of the planet's periodic appearance as an anticipated, predictable, and observable event. "The great planet, at his appearance dark red." The day itself was described by the Old Testament as a time of rains, inundation's, and earthquakes.

If we think of the biblical passages as referring, like their Mesopotamian counterparts, to the passage in Earth's vicinity of a large planet with a strong gravitational pull, the words of Isaiah can be plainly understood. "From a far away land they came, from the end-point of Heaven do the Lord and his weapons of wrath come to destroy the whole Earth. Therefore will I agitate the Heaven and Earth shall be shaken out of its place. When the Lord of Hosts shall be crossing, the day of his burning wrath." 

Who Will Determine Your Need To Know About Planet X (Nibiru)?

YOWUSA.COM, February 18, 2002
Len Bucuvalas

Nibiru is a Planet X-class Kupier Belt Object (XKBO) that allegedly is on an elliptical orbit between our own Sun and a dwarf star that may be located 18 times the distance from our Sun to Pluto, outside of Pluto's orbit - an orbit that takes approximately 3600 years to complete.  According to Zacharia Sitchin, the last Earth flyby was during the Biblical Exodus from Egypt, and it, or some other XKBO could fly past Earth in 2003 and may cause what some scholars and scientists feel could become a human catastrophe -- on a Biblical scale!

Reuters news service wire, September 13,2000

A group of scientists in Russia in year 2000 held several meetings to discuss the inbound planet discovered from one of their largest observatories. This led to the infamous 2003 Problem.

The top government officials called for a commission to study the problem, which was said to expect to cause “A string of calamities” &”‘A massive population shrinkage."

They openly wondered whether Russia would still even exist as a country afterwards...

While many American scientists scoff at Sitchin's work, prominent Russian scientists (in consultation with their government), along with several independent researchers around the globe, are deeply concerned that an XKBO could fly past the Earth in 2003 as his work suggests. 

Such a flyby could result in a terrestrial catastrophe that could very well place mankind in the cross hairs of a major kill off.  Can we afford to scoff at this threat any longer?

 



Are there any potential effects of its passing?

 

 
XKBO

 


Planet X-class Kuiper Belt Object (XKBO): A Kuiper Belt Object in a long period orbit around our sun, with sufficient mass to trigger life-threatening global Earth changes as the result of a flyby event.  Marshall Masters, YOWUSA.COM
 

It is felt that an XKBO know as Nibiru (and also known as "Marduk") will pass close by our planet in June of 2003. At the moment of it’s passing it is possible that the Earth may be overtaken by its gravitational influence, being a much larger planetary body.

 

Sometimes referred to as the red comet or red star in some ancient texts, the effects of its passage may range far and wide according to current opinion.

  • The Earth may stop rotating completely for 3 days.
     
  • Electrical/magnetic storms may occur of an intensity that could cause lasting damage to our global infrastructure.
     
  • As the Earth passes through tail of Nibiru’s passage, dust and debris may rain down upon our planet compromising our ability to supply food, and most importantly, water.

Nibiru is reported to be four times larger, and twenty three times more dense than the Earth. The Bible states (defining it as Wormwood in The Book of Revelations) that when it passed, its magnetic and gravitational effects upon the Earth’s molten iron core caused increased earthquakes/ volcanic eruptions, and other phenomena.

I have noticed over the last ten years, as I am sure the readers of this site also have noticed, the drastic change in our present day weather patterns, increased earthquake/ volcanic activity, reports of the gradual slowing of the Earth's rotation and geomagnetic planetary field deviations, and other anomalies. All of which are allegedly due to the energy being released by our planet in response to the gravitational field that is preceding Nibiru.

 



Has it been here before?

The Dallas Morning News published an article, written by Tom Siegfried, Science Editor, in the Science Section on February 5th, 2001, titled, “SCIENCE COULD HELP SOCIETIES WEATHER RUINOUS CLIMATE CHANGE.” The article went on to define certain planetary events that occurred in our far-flung past. Some have placed the dates of these events at: 12,387 BC, 8787 BC, 5187 BC, and1587 BC.

The myths and legends of our society are replete with accounts of gods and their abodes, which strangely correlate to the passage of Nibiru.

Nordic Legend - Nordic mythology identifies the Midgard serpent as the destroyer of Earth come to herald in the age of Ragnarok. Scholars of mythology have postulated that the Midgard serpent is an allegorical depiction of a comet or planetary body that whose proximity to Earth disturbs the oceans.

Nordic mythology goes on to state:

The ship that is called Naglfar also becomes loose. It is made of the nails of dead men; wherefore it is worth warning that, when a man dies with unpared nails, he supplies a large amount of materials for the building of this ship, which both gods and men wish may be finished as late as possible. But in this flood Naglfar gets afloat. The giant Hrym is its steersman. The Fenris-wolf advances with wide-open mouth; the upper jaw reaches to heaven and the lower jaw is on the earth.

This passage could refer to the tail trailing behind the planetary body and extending from the Earth to the Sun. Some researchers also claim that a planet which passes close to another planet can, in theory, tether to the planet it is passing, each linking to the other by the interweaving of their energetic fields.

If true, this passage could plausibly refer to the linking of Nibiru to Earth, remaining in place for a specified period of time before once again departing on its orbit.

When a comet passes by near to the sun, a series of changes have been reported to allegedly take place.

Fire flashes from his eyes and nostrils. Jets of bright light start out from the nucleus, and move through the fainter haze of the coma toward the sun. Then these jets are turned backward around the edge of the coma, and stream from it, behind the comet, until they are fashioned into a tail.

An excellent and detailed analysis of Nordic mythology, as it may relate to Nibiru, is presented at The Age Of Fire And Gravel web site.

Greek Mythology - Greek mythology is rich with stories of the Greek Gods who were thought to dwell on the peaks of Mount Olympus, or somewhere in the sky.

In the beginning there was only chaos. Then out of the void appeared Erebus, the unknowable place where death dwells, and Night. All else was empty, silent, endless, darkness. Then somehow Love was born bringing a start of order. From Love came Light and Day. Once there was Light and Day, Gaia, the earth appeared.

Erebus is defined as “the land of the dead” – a fitting description for an extra-solar planetary object that may not contain an atmosphere suitable for life as we know it to be.  The sentence, “Once there was Light and Day, Gaia, the earth appeared,” seems curiously linked to Velikovsky’s description of how our Earth came to be.

Immanuel Velikovsky describes how the Earth after an extra-solar planetary object careened through our Solar System and struck an ancient planet. The planet was disintegrated and its remains now form the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. Also, a large piece of this planet was hurled toward the Sun, captured by its gravitational force, and placed into an orbit along with its own satellite. Velikovsky postulates that this planetary piece is now what we occupy as Planet Earth.

A detailed analysis of his work is found in the Immanuel Velikovsky Archive.  Also, a group of students at North Polk Senior High School, Alleman, Iowa, devised a computer simulation to at least begin testing Velikovsky’s cosmogony. A detailed analysis of their simulation and its results is located at the Formation Of The Asteroid Belt By Catastrophic Destruction Of The "Missing Planet” web site.

Zeus the hurler of thunderbolts - Was the depiction of Zeus really a planet that came near to Earth?

Zeus, according to his Homeric epithets, is the cloud gatherer, the dark-clouded, the thundered on high, and the hurler of thunderbolts.

Could the mythological god, Zeus, really have been an extra-solar planet? Ancient cultures observed their environment and described what they observed in the language of their age. It was common to define the planets as gods. Wal Thornhill, the author of the Electric Universe presents a theory that the universe is governed at a fundamental level by electromagnetic forces. He states that the planets move together in a plasma sheath.

The plasma sheath provides a balancing electrical force that acts with gravity to keep the planets in alignment and to buffer the planets against colliding with each other. A distinguishing characteristic of plasmas is the generation of what is termed Bierkeland currents, named after Kristian Bierkeland. Experiments have shown plasma sheaths are regions of strong electric fields and therefore electric currents. Birkeland current filaments follow the magnetic field lines.

When planets are in close proximity to each other inside a plasma sheath, currents flow between the planets along magnetic field lines to their respective polar regions. A website on Thornhill’s work shows (with photographs) many instances of what appear to be intense and powerful electrical strikes upon our planet.

 



Has it been reported in the news?

Ulead GIF SmartSaver Ver 2.0Something large and red has been discovered orbiting in Pluto's neighborhood. This discovery has reignited the idea that there may be more than nine planets in our solar system.

Discoverers are calling the object 2001 KX76. The KX76 object might be one of the largest "Kuiper Belt Objects" or KBO's, found in what is essentially a second asteroid belt beyond the orbit of Neptune.

Discovery News, July 3, 2001
Large Object Discovered Orbiting Sun

The discovery of a large reddish chunk of something orbiting in Pluto's neighborhood has re-ignited the idea that there may be more than nine planets in the solar system. 

What the discoverers are calling 2001 KX76 might be one of the largest "Kuiper Belt Objects" or KBO's, found in what is essentially a second asteroid belt beyond the orbit of Neptune. Initial reports give 2001 KX76 a diameter of 900 to 1200 kilometers — roughly the size of Pluto's moon, Charon. Pluto itself, it should be noted, is smaller than our own moon. 

Because KBOs are believed to have very elongated orbits around the sun they spend a lot of time on dark, centuries-long excursions into deep space. That makes them very hard to find, said astronomer Robert Millis, director of the Lowell Observatory, which was involved in the discovery. 

If 2001 KX76 is any indication of larger KBOs out there, it might also lead to the demotion of Pluto from puniest planet to king of KBOs, said Marsden. 

Millis prefers a third alternative: "There may exist a new class of planets."  

 



What does NASA say?

NASA recognized the possibility (in 1982) of an extra-solar planet. One year later, NASA launched the IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite), which located a large object.

 

 

The Washington Post summarized an interview with the JPL IRAS lead scientist:

A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope... 'All I can tell you is that we don't know what it is', said Gerry Neugebauer, chief IRAS scientist.

 



Has a sighting been made?

There are certain moments when one surfs across a site, allegedly given from a channelled source, that is so well developed, so well written, the ideas so cogent and coherent, the continuity of topic to idea to hypothesis and leading to conclusions are so well presented, one must take into account the possibility that - the site which is that well developed and presents itself as "channelled" information, could possibly be a website managed by an authoritative source. The ZetaTalk site is exactly this type of data source.

ZetaTalk states this is a visible comet-like object that will approach from the constellation, Orion, at a 32-degree angle to the ecliptic and assume a retrograde orbit. The site goes on to state that 2003 will be its next passage through our solar system.

 

 

The Zeta site provides the path of this inbound planet, and its degree of variance. For the serious amateur astronomer, the coordinates (convert to degrees) and visibility factors are available at http://www.zetatalk.com/theword/tword03m.htm.

 



Has a path been plotted from the coordinates?

Kent Steadman, the founder and author/developer of the Cyberspaceorbit web site has plotted a possible course for Nibiru using a StarFnder II. Mr. Steadman asserts that Nibiru may rise to the left of the rising sun on 5/15/03 . Venus and Mercury rising along the ecliptic just ahead of the sun (Figure 1).

 

Figure 1

 

According to Steadman’s research, as Nibiru approaches the inner solar system, it may accelerate quickly below the ecliptic, passing behind and below the sun before it comes back up from beneath the sun at a 33 degree angle.Steadman continues to report that, after March 3, 2003, Nibiru will drop below the elliptic (Figure 2), passing behind and below the sun.

 

Figure 2

What is being done about it?

It seems that many factions within our government, and other governments, are all timing certain events with the year 2003!

  • Reported in Reuters, May 11, 1999, Defense Secretary William Cohen and the Pentagon Joint Chiefs of Staff Tuesday urged the Senate Armed Services Committee to vote on a proposal to pave the way for two rounds of base closings in 2001 and 2003.
     
  • Submitted by Lieutenant General Jeffrey W. Oster (USMC Deputy Chief of Staff Programs and Resources) on February 26, 1997 to the Subcommittees on Military Procurement and Research and Development of the House National Security Committee on Navy Shipbuilding – The cornerstone of the Navy shipbuilding plan for the Future Years Defense Program in fiscal years 1998 through 2003 is full funding of all of the ships in the plan, including all submarines and the tenth and final NIMITZ class aircraft carrier, the CVN 77.
     
  • The dedication of the International Space Station is planned for 2003.
     
  • Lawrence-Livermore Laboratories is planning on having developed a laser, made up of 192 beams, and housed in a complex the length of two football fields. The laser will be capable of simulating the blast of a small-scale fusion bomb. This weapon is planned for completion in 2003.
     
  • Nuclear weapons are planned for a 2/3 reduction by 2003. The ZetaTalk site discusses a preliminary forecast of reductions.
     
  • In 1995, the U.S. signed an international agreement for search and rescue, to be in place by 2003.
     
  • The Mayan calendar predicts the end of our world, as we have known it to be in 2012. Sylvia Brown alleges that the Mayan date of 2012 is actually the Gregorian date of 2003. A calculator that converts the Mayan date to a Gregorian date can be found on theGregorian-Mayan Date web site.
     
  • According to a Discovery News Brief, a mission to Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, is planned for 2003. This could make for a very interesting fly-by should Nibiru truly pass through our solar neighborhood.

This list does not even begin to address the international political trends intended to:

  • Centralize a global government with the United Nations as it’s leading authority and governing body
     
  • Disarm all civilians on a global scale (presumably to forestall mass panic should Nibiru turn out to be the ultimate reality)
     
  • Train regular military units in the streets of our cities for urban warfare.

 



What do I think about all this?

All this data says one thing to this writer - our governments are frightened and are reacting to whatever it is that is frightening them.

My own preliminary conclusions (based on available data) are:

  • There may indeed one more planet in our solar system that we have yet to catalogue.
     
  • It may be arriving well within our own lifetime - possibly in 2003 as some researchers assert.

What will happen when it does arrive? Read Velikovsky. Yes I do accept that Velikovsky has never been validated yet, if there is a planet that will intersect our own orbital plane, then possible effects from earthquakes, to lightening storms, to tsunamis, and perhaps even to visitations from another race may be imminent.

I am from New England. In 1978, we had a snow storm that left up to 16 feet of snow in some areas (when you count the drifts). It snowed steadily for nearly seven days.

Many of my friends thought me foolish - "He's stocking food! He's buying water supplies! He's got a great supply of wine and beer too! He even bought army medical kits, batteries, flashlights, emergency lamps, etc."

Did I mention the full tank of heating oil and containers of gasoline for our two vehicles?

Yes I became the focal point of neighbourhood entertainment. That is, until the snow began. And still they laughed on Day 2, and Day 3. By Day 4, one of my friends requested if he could stay with us. The snow ended on Day 7.

Where there were no drifts, the snow was six feet deep.  Where there were drifts, the snow was over twelve feet deep.  They were finding people frozen solid in their cars up to two weeks after the snow ended! We were not allowed to drive in our own city for one week after the snow ended and prohibited from parking in other major cities for up to one month. My friend? He was no longer laughing.

The bottom line is that we live in a strange and wondrous universe - a creation that many take for granted, assuming it will never change. Yet, the only thing of any permanence in our fragile lives is the reality of constant change.

Yet, the tendency of nation states to withhold potential threat information on what they believe to be a need to know basis never does seem to change.  Therefore, the question for each reader is whether or not this XKBO is in fact headed towards a catastrophic flyby rendezvous with the Earth in June 2003. 

Rather, the question is, who will you as the reader allow to determine your need to know about this potential threat and when.
