| _________________________________________________ |
2012Consult...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 make the appropriate steps
regarding this change, you need information. You cannot
trust your fate by relying on the "historical past" because
this 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. 2012!
We are
a "One Stop Shopping" website that will give you the latest,
up-to-date 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 - but depending
upon your level of indoctrination, some of it
you may agree with & some you may not... it will
all be offered to you and then it is your choice as to
what you choose to
believe.
2012Consult's primary
goal is designed to inform you so that you may make
the right decisions for yourselves and your family during a
period that could soon be termed "Cataclysmic" in
nature.

Five Technologies
That Could Change
Everything
It's a tall order: Over the next
few decades, the world will need to wean itself from
dependence on fossil fuels and drastically reduce greenhouse
gases. Current technology will take us only so far; major
breakthroughs are required.
What might those breakthroughs
be? Here's a look at five technologies that, if successful,
could radically change the world energy picture.
They present enormous
opportunities. The ability to tap power from space, for
instance, could jump-start whole new industries. Technology
that can trap and store carbon dioxide from coal-fired plants
would rejuvenate older ones. Success isn't assured, of course.
The technologies present difficult engineering challenges, and
some require big scientific leaps in lab-created materials or
genetically modified plants. And innovations have to be
delivered at a cost that doesn't make energy much more
expensive. If all of that can be done, any one of these
technologies could be a game-changer.
SPACE-BASED SOLAR POWER
For more
than three decades, visionaries have imagined tapping solar
power where the sun always shines-in space. If we could place
giant solar panels in orbit around the Earth, and beam even a
fraction of the available energy back to Earth, they could
deliver nonstop electricity to any place on the planet.
Sunlight is reflected off giant orbiting
mirrors to an array of photovoltaic cells; the light is
converted to electricity and then changed into microwaves,
which are beamed to earth. Ground-based antennas capture the
microwave energy and convert it back to electricity, which is
sent to the grid.
The technology may sound
like science fiction, but it's simple: Solar panels in orbit
about 22,000 miles up beam energy in the form of microwaves to
earth, where it's turned into electricity and plugged into the
grid. A ground receiving station a mile in diameter could
deliver about 1,000 megawatts-enough to power on average about
1,000 U.S. homes.
ADVANCED CAR BATTERIES
Electrifying vehicles could slash
petroleum use and help clean the air. But it's going to
take better batteries. In a lithium-air battery, oxygen flows
through a porous carbon cathode and combines with lithium ions
from a lithium-metal anode in the presence of an electrolyte,
producing an electric charge. The reaction is aided by a
catalyst, such as manganese oxide, to improve capacity.
Lithium-ion batteries, common in laptops, are favored for
next-generation plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles. They're
more powerful than other auto batteries, but they're expensive
and still don't go far on a charge and can run about 40
miles on batteries alone. Ideally, electric cars will get
closer to 400 miles on a charge.
One
alternative, lithium-air, promises 10 times the performance of
lithium-ion batteries and could deliver about the same amount
of energy, pound for pound, as gasoline. A lithium-air battery
pulls oxygen from the air for its charge, so the device can be
smaller and more lightweight.
UTILITY STORAGE
Everybody's rooting for wind and solar
power. How could you not? But wind and solar are
use-it-or-lose-it resources. To make any kind of difference,
they need better storage.
Battery packs located close
to customers can store electricity from renewable wind or
solar sources and supply power when the sun isn't shining or
the wind isn't blowing. Energy is collected in the storage
units and can be sent as needed directly to homes or
businesses or out to the grid.
Scientists are
attacking the problem from a host of angles-all of which are
still problematic. One, for instance, uses power produced when
the wind is blowing to compress air in underground chambers;
the air is fed into gas-fired turbines to make them run more
efficiently. One of the obstacles: finding big, usable,
underground caverns.
Similarly, giant batteries can absorb
wind energy for later use, but some existing technologies are
expensive, and others aren't very efficient.
CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE
Keeping
coal as an abundant source of power means slashing the amount
of carbon dioxide it produces. That could mean new, more
efficient power plants. But trapping C02 from existing
plants-about two billion tons a year-would be the real
game-changer.
Carbon dioxide is removed from
smokestack gases and compressed. It's then pumped deep
underground and stored in porous rock formations. Techniques
for modest-scale CO2 capture exist, but applying them to big
power plants would reduce the plants' output by a third and
double the cost of producing power. So scientists are looking
into experimental technologies that could cut emissions by 90%
while limiting cost increases.
NEXT-GENERATION BIOFUELS
One way
to wean ourselves from oil is to come up with renewable
sources of transportation fuel. That means a new generation of
biofuels made from nonfood crops.
Researchers
are devising ways to turn lumber and crop wastes, garbage and
inedible perennials like switchgrass into competitively priced
fuels. But the most promising next-generation biofuel comes
from algae.
Algae grow by taking in CO2,
solar energy and other nutrients. They produce an oil that can
be extracted and added into existing refining plants to make
diesel, gasoline substitutes and other
products.
Algae grow fast, consume carbon
dioxide and can generate more than 5,000 gallons a year per
acre of biofuel, compared with 350 gallons a year for
corn-based ethanol. Algae-based fuel can be added directly
into existing refining and distribution systems; in theory,
the U.S. could produce enough of it to meet all of the
nation's transportation
needs.

Official
disclosure of extraterrestrial life is
!mminent
An official announcement
by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of
extraterrestrial life is imminent. For several months, senior
administration officials have been quietly deliberating behind
closed doors how much to disclose to the world about
extraterrestrial life. Dissatisfaction among powerful
institutions such as the U.S. Navy over the decades-long
secrecy policy has given a boost to efforts to disclose the
reality of extraterrestrial life and technology.
 The
impending disclosure announcement follows upon the secret
implementation of a year-long openness policy on UFOs and
extraterrestrial life. Over the period February 12-14, 2008,
the United Nations held closed doors discussions where
approximately 30
nations secretly agreed on a new openness policy on
UFOs and extraterrestrial life in 2009. The openness policy
was implemented but never publicly announced due to threats
against UN diplomats not to disclose details of the secret
agreement. The secret UN agreement was based on two
conditions.
First, UFOs would continue to appear around the world;
and second, the openness policy would not lead to social
unrest in liberal democracies. Both conditions have been
satisfied making it possible for the next stage to begin -
official disclosure of extraterrestrial life.
OBAMA'S
September 24, 2009 chairing of the UN Security Councilmeeting
on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament signaled his
emerging leadership role in tackling major global issues such
as nuclear weapons. The Nobel Peace Prize was an important
step in giving global legitimacy to President Obama in making
an extraterrestrial disclosure announcement. Obama is
therefore poised to play a prominent role in the increased
global governance that will be necessary after an
extraterrestrial disclosure announcement. The timing would
most likely coincide sometime soon after his Nobel Peace Prize
acceptance speech on December 10, 2009 in Oslo, Norway.
There have been various sources that have revealed
deliberations are underway to make an announcement concerning
the existence of extraterrestrial life by the end of 2009.
These include, Dr Pete Peterson, a whistleblower who has
recently emerged revealing high-level discussions have taken
place concerning announcing the existence of extraterrestrial
life. In a Project Camelot interview, Dr Peterson revealed
that "Obama is planning to disclose the reality of ET contact
by the end of the year; and that most, but not all, of the ET
visitors are friendly."
Another source is David Wilcock, a prominent
researcher of emerging scientific paradigms. Wilcock has been
told by additional independent sources that extraterrestrial
disclosure will take place by the end of 2009. He
furthermore claimed in a Coast to Coast AM radio interview
that "a 2-hour international TV special has already been
booked that will introduce an alien species, similar to
humans, to the world."
In addition, popular NASA and
space researcher, Richard Hoagland, has publicly come forward
to reveal that the October 9, LCROSS 'bombing' mission of the
moon, discovered an ancient base at the moon's South Pole.
Reviewing the scientific data achieved by NASA's LCROSS
mission, Hoagland concluded, also on the popular late night
Coast to Coast AM radio show, that "LCROSS is part of a
carefully constructed campaign to prepare the populace for
imminent disclosure. The President of the United States will
soon announce that scientists have discovered ruins on the
moon, he added. Nobody saw the LCROSS debris plume because the
probes struck a building which swallowed the effects of the
explosion."
Finally, two independent and confidential
sources have revealed to me that face-to-face meetings have
recently occurred between U.S. military officials with one or
more groups of extraterrestrial visitors. This has allegedly
led to confidence being built for future cooperation with the
extraterrestrials that will be formally announced to the world
public either at the end of 2009, or early 2010.
In
conclusion, a diverse number of sources and events point to
some form of extraterrestrial disclosure being made by the end
of 2009, or early 2010. Official disclosure will most likely
emerge in either of two scenarios. One is that President Obama
will announce the existence of extraterrestrial visitors, and
describe one or more of these to the world. This scenario is
supported by Peterson, Wilcock, and my own confidential
sources. The second scenario is that an announcement will be
made concerning the discovery of artificial structures at the
moon's South Pole, as revealed by the LCROSS mission. This
scenario is supported by Hoagland.
Which ever of the
above scenarios is used for announcing the existence of
extraterrestrial life or technology, President Obama will
figure prominently. Behind the scenes, powerful institutions
are ensuring that nothing derails the planned disclosure
announcement. The disclosure will follow upon a year of
greater government openness on UFOs in accord with a policy
secretly developed at the United Nations. If extraterrestrial
disclosure does occur at the end of 2009 or early 2010,
President Obama will lead an unprecedented effort to promote
global governance through the United Nations. The Obama
administration and its supporters are poised to take a bold
step forward in helping our planet become an interplanetary
culture that openly deals with the challenges posed by
extraterrestrial life.
Comments: they laughed at Galileo when he said earth wasn't in the
center of the solar system; they laughed at Columbus because
he believed the earth was round; they laughed at Newton for
discovering the 3 laws of motion; they laughed at Darwin
because he said that mankind didn't originate from one man and
one woman. Before truth is acknowledged, it's laughed at. Just
like what they're doing about aliens. We have the proof. Proof
in paintings from the 1400s and tablets from the Hopi tribe,
Mayans, ancient china, Sumerians, Egypt and so on will show
you that something human-like came to earth, dropped us off,
gave us technology, and left. If you believe in god, then you
can at LEAST believe in
aliens.

Two Basic Problems with our
Government!
As I see
it, there are two basic problems in how we have designed our
government. The first is that officials favor policies with
short-term impact over those in our long-term interest because
they need to be popular while they are in office and they want
to be re-elected. In recent times, opinion tracking polls, the
immediate reactions of focus groups, the 24/7 news cycle, the
constant campaign, and the moment-to-moment obsession with the
Dow Jones Industrial Average have magnified the political
pressures to favor short-term solutions. Earlier this year,
the political topic du jour was to debate whether the stimulus
was working, before it had even been spent.
Paul Volcker was an unusual public official because he was
willing to make unpopular decisions in the early '80s and was
disliked at the time. History, though, judges him kindly for
the era of prosperity that followed.
Presently, Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner have become the
quintessential short-term decision makers. They explicitly "do
whatever it takes" to "solve one problem at a time" and deal
with the unintended consequences later. It is too soon for
history to evaluate their work, because there hasn't been time
for the unintended consequences of the "do whatever it takes"
decision-making to materialize.
The second
weakness in our government is "concentrated benefit versus
diffuse harm" also known as the problem of special interests.
Decision makers help small groups who care about narrow issues
and whose "special interests" invest substantial resources to
be better heard through lobbying, public relations and
campaign support. The special interests benefit while the
associated costs and consequences are spread broadly through
the rest of the population. With individuals bearing a
comparatively small extra burden, they are less motivated or
able to fight in Washington.

Astrological
Updates
ABUNDANCE ABOUNDS THIS WEEK!
October 26th
This is
the week to make hay while the Sun shines! We have
abundance in multiple varieties. Monday and Tuesday especially
are the best days of all. But we have plenty of abundance all
week long and even into early next week. If you missed out on
Monday, be sure to use Tuesday to your best advantage.
Announce anything you can. Call anyone important for a major
project. Start a promotion. Send out resumes. Start a new
class. Do whatever you can, but do it today. Think big!
This week has Venus trine Jupiter, a wonderful cycle
of abundance which actually peaks on Wednesday, but for
various reasons, we have better overall cycles on Monday and
Tuesday. Just as that is peaking, Venus also
starts trining Chiron, one of the best financial cycles
there is. That one will peak on Saturday, October 31st and it
stays in range through Nov 5th.
It's VERY UNUSUAL to
have both these abundance cycles together. And as if that
isn't enough, Jupiter is in range of conjuncting Chiron again,
which is also a very abundant cycle. That cycle won't peak
until December 7th, so we'll still be in range of abundance
for quite some time. But this is the best period, so do your
best to take advantage of it.
What
could possibly occur in the coming
weeks? I can think of several
possibilities based on the charts and they are all just
possibilities.
* The banking
system, yes including the Federal Reserve, could encounter a
major failure. This could possibly lead to banking holidays.
(Yes, keep some cash on hand, just in case.)
* The US
dollar could drop even more severely than the 15% it's already
dropped in value since March 2009.
* The price
of oil and gold could jump significantly.
* The Federal
Reserve could be forced to raise interest rates, in order to
sell the US debt. This would have a negative effect on the
general economy, but may be necessary in order to sustain the
federal government.
* We could
encounter a very large, structural change to the financial
system such as a large failure of a hedge fund, or a major
amount of derivatives failing.
* We could
see a major downturn in the stock market by the end of next
week or shortly thereafter.
* The Federal
Reserve could be forced to make some major structural changes.
This could eventually include backing a percentage of the
dollar with gold.
* OPEC could
announce that it will no longer sell oil for US dollars.
* Obama or
another world leader may decide to introduce the
extraterrestrials.
Many blessings always!
