Southern Tip of New Zealand2012Consult...is a newsletter designed to offer you ONE SOURCE for receiving the varied information relating to our current world affairs and "changes."
 
The only constant in the upcoming years will be "Change" and how you deal with it. To take the appropriate steps regarding this change, you need information. You cannot trust your fate by relying on the "historical past" because the scenario we are now facing has never happened before. 
 
Never before in the history of the world has one date, one moment in time, been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, so many scientists, so many governments and to so many people all around the world.
 
We are a "One Stop Shopping" website that will give you the latest, up-to-date practical & metaphysical information regarding the current as well as upcoming changes affecting the planet from politics to the price of gold, from earth changes to ET's. We will offer you a spectrum of information - and depending upon your level of indoctrination, some of it you may agree with it & some of it you may not...  it's up to you. And of course we will incorporate humor... lots of humor - life is to short!
                                                                                           Made in Montana
2012Consult's primary goal is designed to inform you so that you may make the right decisions for yourself and your family during a time of "Shifting" changes.

The cure for a recession is the recession itself.  Recessions are needed to reset asset allocations and valuations, by allowing poorly managed enterprises to fail, so as to set the stage for the next growth phase.  Recessions are an inherent part of the Government interference in the Socialist/Capitalist process. You can't avoid them unless we go to Laissez Faire Capitalism. 

The chaos you're seeing right now in Europe is a gift; a rare sneak preview of what's about to happen right here in the United States - including...

  • Fiat paper money losing its value at a near-record pace - and likely to plunge dramatically lower, gutting the purchasing power of your dollars ... 
  • Gold surging to $2,000 per ounce and beyond ... 
  • Long-term interest rates going through the roof ... 
  • Key stock market sectors swinging wildly, 3% ... 4% ... 5% and more per day ...

The Gulf of Mexico Oil "Volcano"

NY Times SpillThe bent riser pipe is eroding away by the force of the oil, gases, and other materials from the earth. When this section breaks, the flow of oil will likely increase substantially. It is most likely that attempts to reduce or stop this disaster will fail and some will result in an increase in the flow of oil, gases, and various other crustal material. It is likely that in the coming months, extreme measures will be undertaken that will result in even greater catastrophe.

Surface spraying is driving oil down 20-30 ft under the surface. Fumes from oil and dispersants are making many people very ill. Many of these volatile compounds are known carcinogens as well as being simply dangerous to inhale. New oil flows noticed deep underwater appear transparent suggesting something closer to a solution of oil, water, and chemicals. This is in addition to the initial underwater flow that is headed into the Gulf Stream current. In addition to the poisonous nature of the dispersants and the raw petroleum, there is also the synthetic drilling fluid "mud" that is both poisonous and carcinogenic.

The Gulf has been an important source of various shellfish and fish for human meat consumption and related economic activities, and it is an important breeding grounds and food source for many Atlantic fish that are also pursued for human meat consumption.

In less than one year a major source of ocean-based meat for human consumption will be gone. The oceanic eco-system will collapse and there will be vast dead zones that harbor various type of microorganisms, some of which are toxic. Globally, the major oceanic and large inland lake fisheries used for human meat consumption are becoming depleted or are depleted. More and more fish farming and fish and shellfish farming is being created -and result in toxic soups that yield toxic foods and destroy the health and genes of wild ocean animals.

Inland ground and surface water contamination is likely from storms and earthquakes. The hurricane season is officially expected to be 85% above normal  in terms of overall magnitude and number of major storms. Even moderate tropical storms which are more common will aerosolize toxic Gulf waters and deposit them far inland. Toxic biological byproducts from the inevitable dead zones will result in additional health hazards. The result will be air, water, and soil contamination that will contribute to a growing disaster that will influence enormous population movements and make many agricultural activities impossible. There are stockpiled along the coast and on supply ships unusually large quantities of toxic chemicals hauled in for the oil disaster. If these were damaged in a storm, the potential expands for an even greater immediate crisis.

The likelihood of earthquakes connected with this whole situation is very high. In addition, there is tsunami potential from a seafloor deformation in the Gulf. Beyond this, there is the possibility of the New Madrid fault zone being triggered. For explanation and graphics see: http://newearthsummit.org/forum/index.php?topic=1080.msg4604#msg4604

If I lived within 100 to 200 miles of the Gulf or SE Atlantic coastal region, I would now be looking to relocate before the situation becomes forced. Seriously.

This event is part of a global war. It is not "simply" the result of human incompetence, arrogance and greed, that only makes for easier complicity. It is an engineered event, part of WW3 that is presently being kept "below the public radar", even while there are public slips of speech that indicate the utter callousness and contempt for life by those most involved.

Philippe Cousteau, grandson of famous explorer Jacques Cousteau, went underwater off the Gulf Coast to see first-hand what the Deepwater Oil Disaster looks and feels like. And the answer he came back with: "This is a nightmare."  Click Here for Video
 
Some more basic facts about the Gulf of Mexico catastrophe not being shared with the public:

1. The leak that BP is very publicly trying to close is NOT the main leak.

2. The amount of crude spilling into the Gulf daily is not 5,000 barrels a day as reported - it appears to be over 100,000 barrels today

3. The technology to deal with this exists and BP - and the US government - are willfully
not using it.

"What are you recommending we buy?"
 
His answer:  "Canned goods and ammunition!"

Buy Canadian!---------{American!}

 

American FlagCanadian FlagWhen the Canadian dollar was low in value, foreign companies bought up most of the businesses in Canada at garage sale prices.  Foreign owners have closed down the canning factories in Exeter (north of London, ON) and in the Niagara area. As a result the local farmers have no place to sell their produce or have it preserved.

 

In the soft fruit producing area of Niagara, farmers have ripped out their peach trees because other than road side stands, who will buy their fruit? The big companies have already decided and publicly announced that it is cheaper to buy canned peaches from Greece, so that is what you will see in stores. The farm land is being sold to developers and turned into big house and condo developments.

 

The canning factory in Exeter was eventually taken over by a co-op of former employees and they will try to make a go of it but it sounds kind of shaky. The politicians stood by and did nothing.

 

Garlic is no longer produced in Canada because it comes from China at a price cheaper than the cost of production in Canada. That's all you see in stores and there is no Canadian produced garlic to choose from even at a higher price. Maybe the high taxes in Canada have something to do with it.  A small but determined radical group trying to unionize farm labor didn't help matters either.

 

Sure all these trade agreements bring us low cost material goods, but if everyone is out of a job who is going to buy these products?

 

Good luck trying to find 100% Canadian products in stores. The only way to find such a thing is to deal directly with the farmer and leave out the retailer.

 

"FOOD" for thought.   More information on this subject.....

 

I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT THE COUNTRY MARKET. ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA '.  FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN FROM CHINA . I WAS SHOCKED!!  SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR DOLE IS FROM CALIFORNIA.  

 

Another example was in canned mushrooms.  No-Name brand came From Indonesia.  Next to them the Presidents Choice brand.  Produce of Canada!!  The P. C. Went into my grocery bag.

 

TODAY IT TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING!!  THAT SAID, IT'S A MUST DO!

 

Are we Canadians and Americans as dumb as we appear --- Or --- is it that we just do not think?

 

While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Obama Administration and the Harper Government for perceived errors. 

 

Yet 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.

 

Well, duh... Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?

 

SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, CANADA/AMERICA!!

 

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong) simply choose another product, or none at all.  You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.  Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some North American farmer. Easter is just an example; the point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own. 

 

THINK ABOUT THIS, If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor . . . Fast!!

 

The downside?  Some Canadian/American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.  Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

 

The solution?  Let's give them fair warning and send our own message.  Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on June 4, and continue it until July 4.  That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their North American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it...

 

"Remember: June 4 - July4 "

UN fears 'Irreversible' Damage to Natural Environment
  
 
GENEVA (AFP) - The UN warned on Monday that "massive" loss in life-sustaining natural environments was likely to deepen to the point of being irreversible after global targets to cut the decline by this year were missed.

     Pollution Collage

 As a result of the degradation, the world is moving closer to several "tipping points" beyond which some ecosystems that play a part in natural processes such as climate or the food chain may be permanently damaged, a United Nations report said.

The third "Global Biodiversity Outlook" found that deforestation, pollution or overexploitation were damaging the productive capacity of the most vulnerable environments, including the Amazon rainforest, lakes and coral reefs.

"This report is saying that we are reaching the tipping point where the irreversible damage to the planet is going to be done unless we act urgently," Ahmed Djoghlaf, executive secretary of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, told journalists.

Djoghlaf argued that extinction rates for some animal or plant species were at a historic high, up to 1,000 times those seen before, even affecting crops and livestock.

The UN report was partly based on 110 national reports on steps taken to meet a 2002 pledge to "significantly reduce" or reverse the loss in biodiversity.

Djoghlaf told journalists: "There is not a single country in the world that has achieved these targets, we continue to lose biodioversity at unprecedented rate." 

Potential tipping points analyzed for GBO-3 include:

  • The dieback of large areas of the Amazon forest, due to the interactions of climate change, deforestation and fires, with consequences for the global climate, regional rainfall and widespread species extinctions.
  • The shift of many freshwater lakes and other inland water bodies to eutrophic or algae-dominated states, caused by the buildup of nutrients and leading to widespread fish kills and loss of recreational amenities.
  • Multiple collapses of coral reef ecosystems, due to a combination of ocean acidification, warmer water leading to bleaching, overfishing and nutrient pollution; and threatening the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of species directly dependent on coral reef resources.
     
    UN Environment Programme (UNEP) director general Achim Steiner underlined the economic value and returns of "natural capital" and its role in ensuring the health of soil, oceans and the atmosphere. 
     
    "Humanity has fabricated the illusion that somehow we can get by without biodiversity or that it is somehow peripheral to the contemporary world," Steiner said.

     

  • "The truth is we need it more than ever on a planet of six billion heading to over nine billion people by 2050."

    The report argued that biodiversity was a core concern for society that would help tackle poverty and improve health, meriting as much attention as the economic crisis for only a fraction of the cost of recent financial bailouts.

    It advocated a new strategy to tackle the loss alongside more traditional steps such as the expansion of protected natural areas and pollution control.

    They included attempts to regulate land consumption, fishing, increased trade and population growth or shifts, partly through a halt to "harmful" or "perverse" subsidies.

    The issues raised by the report are due to be discussed at a UN biodiversity meeting in Japan in October.

    Letters to the Editor!
     

    Gooday Steve,

    I wanted to say thanks for your great newsletter!  The world needs folks like you right now - and how!  My name is Doris and I live at Badger Creek, one hour from Melbourne here in Australia.  My family and I are setting up on six acres - vegetable gardens, orchards, animals, water tanks and stuff like that.  We are hoping to become largely self-sufficient and in the meantime its just an incredibly beautiful place to live!  Last year I wrote a booklet called 'Edible Weeds and Garden Plants of Melbourne' because I think folks need to be aware of the food which is growing freely around them as part of the move to greater self-sufficiency.  If anyone wants to buy a copy I can be contacted via www.hellolittleweed.com  Most of the weeds are international.  Also, if anyone wants information regarding edible weeds on the net, there is a great site (extremely thorough and detailed) called houstonwildedibles.blogspot.com  I don't know how relevant this topic is to your newsletter but I think it might be a worthwhile topic to flag maybe and to provide folks with some good links?

    There are great things happening in our local community - permaculture, biodynamic farming, sharing and swopping of produce - as I am sure there are in yours.  There are positive places and people like yourself in a world that needs positive change.

    Keep up the good work and drop by if you are in Melbourne!

    Best regards

    Doris

    Hi Steve,

    I 'm pleased to find your website. I started years ago reading books of Patrick Geryl about the upcoming changes. In preparation, I've started building a 2012 rescue pod. It is a 9 mtr. long steel submarine like vessel which can sustain us for days under deep water.

    I am Dutch and live in Portugal with my wife and 3 young kits. I am enjoying your free 2012Consult newsletter. Glad I found you and let it be known that you are being heard all over the world.


    Bye from Martin, Astrid and kits

    Steve,

     

    Glad to see someone has taken the bull by the horns and is starting to send out 2012 information that concerns the entire world... not just the states. Keep up the good work.

     

    Around twenty years ago I was living in Seattle and I was doing hard times.  I could not find satisfying work. I found this especially difficult as I have had quite some experience and an M.A.  To my shame I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and living with friends.  I had lost my flat.  I had been through five interviews with this company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not get the job.  I went to the bus barn like a zombie loaded with disappointment.   While doing my rounds through a quiet suburban neighborhood I had an inner wave, somewhat like the primal scream arise deep from inside me and internally I screamed, "Give me a sign! I want a physical sign not some inner voice type thing. "Why has my life become so hard?"  All the while I was in total control and driving capably.  Immediately after this internal scream I pulled the bus over to drop off a little girl and as she passed she handed me an earring saying I should keep it in case somebody claimed it.  The earring was stamped metal, painted black and said BE HAPPY.  At first I got angry, ya ya I thought.   Then it hit me.   I had been putting all my considerable energy into what was wrong with my life rather than what was right!   I heard a voice in my head saying, "think of 50 things a day you are grateful for" So I began. At first it was hard, and then it got easier.  One day I decided to up it to 75.   That night there was a phone call for me at my friend's house from a lady who was a manager at a large hospital.  About a year earlier I had submitted a syllabus to a community college to teach a course on stress management :-)  :-) :-) yup, you heard me.

    She asked me if I would do a day for 200 hospital workers.   I said yes and got the job. 

     

    Incidentally, the day after I found the earring the girl asked me if anyone had claimed the earring. I told her no and she said "I guess it was meant for you then".

     

    That day with the hospital workers I got a standing ovation and many more days of work.  To this day I KNOW that it was because I changed my attitude to gratitude.

     

    For a year I did training all around the area then I realized that I wanted to risk it all and go back to Scotland where I had lived previously.  I closed my one man business, bought a ticket and got a six month visa from immigration.  One month later I met my wonderful English wife and best friend of 15 years now.  We live in a small beautiful cottage, two miles from a paved road in the highlands of Scotland.

     

    THE ONLY ATTITUDE IS GRATITUDE has been my motto now for years and yes it completely changed my life. Hope you enjoyed my thought for today... Keep the newsletters coming.
