  As it turns out, it isn’t Nuclear Winter or Global Warming that we need to worry about.   It isn’t alligators in the sewer, monsters under the bed or even the dreaded twi-night doubleheader that should rob us of sleep.   Mother Nature appears to be warming up something brand new in her bullpen of unanticipated worldwide changes.   The world’s magnetic field is weakening at rapidly accelerating rates.   The Earth is preparing to reverse its magnetic poles.               Let’s start with the fact that all astral bodies have a magnetic field.   The sun has magnetic poles and they flip on a regular eleven year cycle.   [See my blog: The Sun is Switching Polarity published on 8-18-2013.]   Second, let’s point out that the Earth has switched this polarity many times before.   There have been no mass extinctions or calling up of demons during any of these times.   No space aliens...

  I love my neighbors.   But let’s suppose I don’t.   Let’s suppose that my neighbor and I have a genuine dislike for each other.   What is more, I want the three feet lying on the far side of my fence that is currently part of his yard.   Hatred, envy, greed all come together in my mind, and I hatch a plan to get rid of that neighbor.   I decide to accuse that neighbor of pedophilia.   I spread the word that he is a pedophile.   I put up flyers to that effect.   I then call the police and accuse him of pedophilia.   When the police ask me what evidence I have of that serious charge I tell them it is their job to find the evidence.   My job is simply to make the accusation.   I want his house and computers searched.   I want him arrested and interrogated.   I want him brought to court.   When I am told that they need more than just my say-so, I tell them that I heard he was a pedophile.   Who said it? ...

  On the night of February 21, 1944, a Norwegian named Knut (please pronounce the “K”—it is not a silent letter) Haukelid and two of his friends approached the Ferry Hydro docked on the shore of Lake Tinnsjå in Telemark, Norway.   Tinnsjå is one of the largest and deepest lakes in Europe.   Knut and his recruits needed the deepest lake in Norway, because they needed to sink the Hydro in the deepest water they could find.   These men, working late in the night, planted over eight kilograms of plastic explosives in the boats keel, and armed it with two hand wound alarm clocks.   Shortly after midnight, just as the Hydro moved over the deepest water in Lake Tinnsjå, an explosion tore through the hull and sunk the boat, sending its cargo the bottom.   Knut Haukelid watched the ship go down with tears in his eyes.   There had been Norwegian nationals on that boat; and he could not warn even one of them.   Because there was also a shipment of hea...

  On October 25, 1415, Henry V of England laid some serious hurt on the French at the Battle of Agincourt at Pas-de-Calais, France.   Part of the success of this campaign was due to Henry’s use of the longbow, but part of it also goes to the creative use of military indentures.   These legal contracts required all the English captains to provide specified amounts of men, material and time to the King’s cause.             An indenture was a document, written in duplicate and then torn along a jagged line, like little teeth ( dents ), in the paper.   One portion of the contract was in possession of each party and when the required conditions and period of service were fulfilled, the parts reunited, and the debt was considered paid.   Many of the people who first came to this country from England came as indentured servants, worked off their debt and became the backbone of the country.   ...
