| _________________________________________________ |
 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 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 you may not... it is up to you.
 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. |

DESIDERATA
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all it's sham drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy in this New Year of 2010!

It is no longer a matter of if; it's just a matter of when!
Past Bear Markets are cautionary tales of long departed fools who ruined themselves searching for easy riches, and of political schemes based upon the false premise that a social utopia is achievable by the effortless creation of credit and the printing of currency. However, the US Government as well as most analysts are now living in a state of DENIAL. Most people are ignorant of financial history, and we have a Fed Chairman, a professor who is touted as a Great Depression know-it-all. So both Washington and Wall Street no longer fear the Big-Bad Bear. As far as future Bear Markets are concerned, not all, but most "Experts" on CNBC would have us believe that as long as the Fed maintains our current historically-low interest rates by  printing trillions of dollars and Congress and the White House keep spending and creating hundreds of billions of dollars of deficits, the Goldilocks Economy and Stock Markets will soon be back in full force. To me, it's just like a heroin addict's befuddled reasoning that concludes his problem can be simply solved with just another heroin fix. Only a credit-addicted public could possibly believe that doing more of the same as what got you into trouble in the first place is the simple solution to our myriad of problems.
 Whenever a country reaches the point where 50% of the public is in one way or another living off the Government, the economy can no longer sustain its standard of living. We in the USA have now reached a level of 58% and our standard of living has now entered the rapidly declining stage. For most of the last 20 years, we were barely able to sustain our standard of living by first borrowing from the productive members of our society. Then we started stealing our savings by encouraging inflation and finally by increasing our borrowing from abroad and by consuming our 200 years of built up capital. But now we have exhausted all avenues of borrowing. Foreigners will no longer lend fresh money and we will be lucky if they allow us to just roll over our debt. Anyone with real savings left, who is still in their right mind, won't lend at zero or near zero interest rates so that the Government is now forced to confiscate whatever earnings and savings are left with onerous tax rates. But that won't work because the Basic Laws of Economics tell us that the higher the Income Tax rates go, the lower will be the total revenue collected. We live in a dynamic economic system. Socialists never learn, so they will try it anyway. Using up all the country's capital and not replacing used up capital by investment will plunge our country into Depression and the same is true for the stock markets. It is just a matter of time. It is no longer a matter of if; it's just a matter of when.

Niburu - fact or fiction!
 In mid-2006 the US Gvt. commissioned JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratories) to design and build a microwave telescope, ship it to Antarctica and construct it right there on the South Pole. And - oh yeah! Keep it secret! In 2007 and 2008 the Air National Guard out of Watertown NY flew one-hundred-twenty-one C-130 non-stop missions from Virginia (where the one-of-a-kind telescope had been set up, tested, and broken down for transport) direct to Antarctica (using very expensive mid-air refueling so they didn't need to stop at Christ Church, NZ for fuel and, maybe, answer questions from curious spectators). The telescope construction folks had absolutely NO contact with any of the established multi-national researchers whose stations have been set up on the coast of Antarctia for decades. The South Pole Telescope (Google "SPT" all you doubters) went into operation in mid-2008 and produced its first photographs in October 2008. The 70+ live-in scientists from JPL, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, Case Western Reserve, McGill U, U Chicago and others, claim to be simply "doing science"; if pressed, they mumble something about "Dark Matter" and nothing further. Note that - by sitting a telescope directly on the South Pole, the world is literally turning beneath you. To maintain rock-solid non-moving surveillance of a certain area of Southern Hemisphere sky, you simply set your telescope to rotate in the opposite direction from the Earth's rotation, and - in effect - you're standing absolutely still. It's the perfect location to do so! Now, why would the US government and a dozen of America's most prestigious technical universities spend many multi-billions of tax dollars in a crash program to look at a particular section of sky? It's not looking for Dark Matter, but instead it's because that is the area from whence the constellations Sagittarius and Orion are best observed. Why those constellations? Because of the ancient Sumerian prophecy that the planet Nibiru comes from that direction about this time, at an angle of thirty degrees below the plane of the solar system, and either wacks us, or passes by very closely (same thing) and considerably rearranges the furniture all over the world. Nibiru is supposed to be a dark planet on a cometary orbit that zings in from deep space once every 3,600 years (or so - the ancient Sumericans ain't available for comment). The last time this happened, we called it "Noah's Flood". Ever wonder why the top of Mt. Everest and many other mountains all over the Earth are covered with sea shells? Specifically, fossilized shell fish who died and were buried in mud so fast that they fossilized in place without opening their little shells (as they do on the beach every summer). Something's coming for sure in 2012, boys & girls! |

The global 2009 stimulus money is going to start drying up. When that happens, we are going to see another economic collapse, the Crash of 2010. We had the Collapse of 2009 - it happened in March. But what they did was paper it over with all this stimulus money. So they kept the collapse from crashing. We are seeing the crash happen in 2010.
The other trends that we are looking at - and it's not all gloom and doom - we're going to see Depression High. There is going to be a return to elegance and quality. Those are the only things that make it in this kind of atmosphere. Go back to the last Great Depression. People were dressed to the 9s and it was the hottest, happiest music America ever saw. It was Swing Time! We're going to see the rebirth of that in a lot of ways. Quality is the only way people are going to be able to make a profit. Average is not going to be able to cut it. Jobs are scarce. People who go to find jobs and are going to be interviewed are going to want to look the best, the brightest and the smartest. It's a time to regain dignity.
So, we're looking at a very turn around point in 2010. And along those lines, another one is Shape Up America trend. There is going to be a lot of money to be made in this. We've hit a literal tipping point. Obesity rates are going to hit 43% in the next eight years! So, now we're going to start seeing a reversal of that in many different ways.
So, more than just a diet program and fitness, it's almost a new New Age. And that's one of the other trends. The only way people are going to understand how to make it through these very difficult times that are coming ahead is to be in shape physically, emotionally and spiritually.
The food you eat, everything, buy local! That's another trend: Not Made in China - huge trend! Everything I buy I turn it over and look at the label. I don't buy anything I don't have to that's made in China. And I'm not only an American Firster. I'm a buy local guy. I support my neighbor. And people better get wise to that thought because the government sold us the biggest lie ever. It came out of the mouth of Bill Clinton and Al Gore - how they shoved NAFTA down America's throat. They told us all that with NAFTA our quality of life would go up, more jobs would be created, and at higher pay.
The exact opposite has happened. It's not 'fair trade.' It's dealing with the country that has the cheapest labor supply, slave labor. Get it made over there, bring it back over here and mark it up! So for us to increase our standard of living, we first have to support each other. And so the Buy Local trend. The Shape Up America trend. The New New Age. These are very positive movements.
And also as I said, it's going to be Depression High. People are going to move back up to elegance, quality and might even rediscover etiquette. Treating people nicely. Doing things respectfully. And do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
There are many more trends we see coming and one of them is: Mothers of Invention. When there is chaos, you work from that and you find a new form. You use it in a productive manner. You know that you can no longer go on the same path. All these trends are interconnected. With chaos, when you look at it in personal health, you hit a point where you have to turn around or continue to decline.
With chaos, you lose a job. That job no longer exists. You are in a chaotic state. What do you do? You re-formulate and move to a new direction. So, the Mothers of Invention as we call this trend is going to really create an America and world that is going to be much better than the one we're leaving.
We have to wash away the system's corruption - the greed and destruction. If we continue on this path, our future will be clear. It's going to decline worse. If we look at it for what it is and move in new directions, we move into a much brighter future.
Dubai and Global Commercial Real Estate - Crashing?
Dubai accumulated at least an $80 billion debt by end of 2009 through banking,
real estate and transportation expansions before credit markets seized up
in 2008.
That was one of the trends we forecast many months ago: 'Bye Bye Dubai!' That was the headline we used at the Trends Journal. And this is the beginning of the commercial real estate collapse. It's only been held up by the funny money and the fed programs.
Federal Reserve Can't Lower Interest Rates and FDIC Is Broke
The Crash of 2010 is in the making. The Federal Reserve cannot lower interest rates lower than zero and they are near zero now. They can't loan more money out. They don't have it.
Oh, by the way, folks, the FDIC - the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation - the one that protects your money in case a bank goes bust. Well, guess what? The FDIC is broke! They are $8 billion in the hole. They are going to the banks now to pay them three years forward so they will have some money to pay other failing banks and the number of failing banks is supposed to increase up into the thousands in 2010.
Q: IF WE ARE HEADED TOWARD A SECOND CRASH IN 2010 WITH UNEMPLOYMENT AT THE HIGH RATES THAT IT IS NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS TO THE AVERAGE AMERICAN WHO THINKS THAT 2010 IS GOING TO BE A TURNING POINT TO SOMETHING BETTER?
A: They are going to be very disappointed! In November 2007, Fed Chairman Bernanke said we were not going into a recession. That was in front of Congress in January and April 2009! That's not ancient history. Ben Bernanke was saying we were not going into a recession - 'we don't see one coming.'
How could anyone believe these people? In 2009 February, the Obama Administration said that without his stimulus program we would face unemployment rates at 8% in 2009. Well, guess what? We hit 10.2% in 2009 and that was with the stimulus programs.
How could anyone believe these people? They have a track record of failure. One failure after the other. So anyone putting their hopes on them is going to be very disappointed.
Physical, Emotional, Spiritual Survival
If you're not in shape physically, emotionally and spiritually, then you're going to have a hard time facing a very difficult future because one of the other trends that we are writing about is: Survival. People have to find within themselves the greatest thing that they can do. So when we say you have to be fit physically, emotionally and spiritually, until that happens, then nothing is going to happen.
No one knows what is going to happen next and that is the kind of survival thinking that people need to take in mind. And also survival means wear it out, use it up, make it do, do without. Be smart in what you do. Be lean and mean. Be ready to move in any way. It doesn't mean going into the woods with a gun and pork and beans. It might mean that! But it also means how are you going to survive the times ahead? How are you going to change your lifestyle and be smart to keep what you have and build on that? Survival in every different way is a major trend for 2010.
American Gap Between Rich and Poor
"Widest of Any Industrialized Nations"
IF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS SHIFTING TO A SAVING MENTALITY AGAIN, WHICH SHOULD BE INSPIRED AND ENCOURAGED, WHAT'S THE IMPACT ON WALL STREET AND THE HEDGE FUNDS?
These are the criminals out there. They are robbing this country blind - hedge funds! What do these people produce? The only thing they produce are giant profits for themselves.
Now because we have our President and Congress that are telling us we have to save the Too Big To Fails and bow to Wall Street - or I should say 'Bend over to Wall Street' - now the gap between the rich and the poor is the widest in the United States than any of the industrialized nations.
China Owns America's Huge Debt
IF CHINA CARRIED THROUGH SWITCHING FROM BASING ITS CURRENCY ON THE U. S. DOLLAR AND SWITCHING OVER TO THE EURO, WHAT WOULD BE THE PRACTICAL IMPACT FOR THE AMERICAN EVERY DAY?
The cost of everything we buy is going to go up. And we're very concerned about a currency crisis. It's not only the dollar - all of the currencies. There is a problem worldwide, but not so much for the Chinese in the sense that they can afford to do it at the moment because they have a currency surplus of about $2.5 trillion. The other countries like the United States, the U.K. and others are stimulating economies within deficits. But even the Chinese are going to face problems because we're looking at world trade in 2009 off more than 20%. If the world doesn't consume (their products), China doesn't go forward.
What is going to happen and we're very concerned about it is that they are going to start bailing out of dollars - everybody is! Because who wants to be stuck with dollars when our government is printing them - this isn't real money! It's digital money not worth the fake paper it's printed on!
And when that happens, there is going to be a devaluation of the dollar. Then everything that Americans buy is going to cost more.
ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE PRODUCTS MADE IN CHINA OR OTHER COUNTRIES.
Exactly!
2010 - A Breaking Point for Whole World?
DO YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE IN 2010 FOR THE UNITED STATES TO END UP AS BADLY AS ARGENTINA A DECADE AGO?
Worse! Worse than Argentina because our debt problems are worse. This is classic empire decline. Argentina was not even an empire. We're fighting wars in foreign countries as we are depleting the Treasury. The worst news is that when America crashes, no one around the world should be happy about it because this is going to affect the entire planet. It's kind of like the collapse of the Roman Empire that was followed by a Dark Age. There is no one there to fill the vacuum. China is not going to emerge, as we at the Trends Journal see it, as a great power. They have 1.3 billion people and a million problems! In 2008, the last numbers that came out, China had 70,000 major riots and disturbances. What are they going to do when people are thrown out of work by the hundreds of millions? So this is going to be a very de-stabilizing period worldwide.
That's why we are calling it: Breaking Point 2010!

Timewave Zero and
the Fractal Time Software
This website is the primary and most complete source on the web for accurate and reliable information about Timewave Zero (including how the end date of December 21, 2012, was arrived at). It contains several articles written (mostly during the 1990s) by Peter Meyer, the developer of the MS-DOS Timewave Zero software (later reincarnated as the Fractal Time software). Peter Meyer developed this software in close collaboration with Terence McKenna, and had many discussions with him during 1986-1994 about the theory.

The prize doesn't always go to the most deserving...
There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena. During WWII, Irena got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an 'ulterior motive' ... She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German.) Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids). She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it and reunited the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.
Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize ...
She was not selected.
Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.

Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you hear, or are about to repeat a rumor.
In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance, who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students...?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three."
"Test of Three?"
"That's correct," Socrates continued.
"Before you talk to me about my student, let's take a moment to test what you're going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man replied, "actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Socrates continued, "You may still pass though because there is a third test - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really..."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"
The man was defeated and ashamed and said no more.
This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. |
