Q & A

SCOTIA, Calif. - After more than 20 years of protests, the last two people living in the giant redwoods of Northern California were climbing down for good, convinced by the new owners of the forest that the ancient trees would be spared from the saw. www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles

Web bots is a new technology.  It is a system of spiders, agents, and wanderers that travel the Internet, much like a search engine robot, and look for particular kinds of words.  It targets discussion groups, translation sites, and places were regular people post a lot of text. 

The web bot technology apparently taps in to an area of preconscious awareness. 

The mind-bending evidence in Dean Radin's work is that in a laboratory, people begin to react to an event as early as 6-seconds before it takes place.  In other words, if you are about to show someone a horribly grotesque picture of something, they will already be physically reacting to it before the picture actually becomes visible. Up to 6-seconds, or so, and in a lab!  In quantum terms, Radin's work demonstrates that people are physically able to perceive 6-seconds into the future.

George Leonard, author of Silent Pulse, was one of the first researchers to know that people reacted to stimulus before the stimulus was actually sent.

The web bots are an attempt to use the high data density of the internet to sample language and seek linguistic shifts that we believe may precede events.  The initial results suggest that language shifts on a macro level begin to occur 45 to 90 days before society-changing events. 

This group is suggesting that October 5 – 9 are high density data dates. Be especially aware and cautious during the first 10 days of October. www.urbansurvival.com/simplebots.htm

Here is a short recap to the previous Web Bot interview from September 2nd, 2008:

The Web Bots see September 22-27, 2008 as precursor dates to the main turning point date of October 7, 2008. Closely watch events during September 22-27, 2008 for hints as to what to expect on October 7, 2008.

Cliff said whenever "it" happens, and whatever "it" turns out to be, "it" will be a date in history you remember like 9/11, we will remember 10/7.

The Web Bots foresee that October 7, 2008 to February 19, 2009 will be filled with emotional intensity, and the length of the release period will be extraordinary. The Web Bots have never picked up any event lasting this long. In comparison, 9/11 length lasted about 10 days. This event will be four months of high emotion.......

UPDATE ON WEB BOT PREDICTIONS FOR THE COMING WEEKS/MONTHS/YEARS: Coast to coast Radio with George and Cliff the "Time Monks" pimpinturtle.com/2008/09/22/

Remember to keep cell phones away from small children as bones of their skulls are still forming and the radio wave energy emission can heat the developing brain and ear canal. If you have a diaper bag near your stroller remember to have your phone turned off or if you are pregnant and your purse is near the belly. Mobile voice mail ensures you receive all your messages while reducing wireless emissions when the phone is off. In consideration of all people turn off your devices when you are sleeping as the wireless feed is then not running through your environment while you are in rest and repair mode. For lengthy conversations the non blue tooth ear pieces are great as the cell phone is then away from your brain. Teens using them who eat up cell minutes are benefited by parents supplying the ear piece.

The areas of concern are as follows:

 -- Watch for an unexpected down-turn in US economy

 -- Watch for a single nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan

 -- Watch for elevated earthquake and volcano activity

 -- Watch for a US backed strike on Iran. Most likely this will come via Israel. Watch the escalation in Pakistan and Afghanistan. This could be the precursor of a US support of India taking a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Pakistan

Miscellaneous

I am writing in response to last weekend’s developments in America’s financial markets, where after three days of fast-paced negotiations, Lehman Brothers, the 158-year-old investment bank, failed to find a buyer and announced it would seek bankruptcy protection.

On the same day, Sunday, September 14^th, the nation’s largest brokerage firm, Merrill Lynch, agreed to sell itself to Bank of America to avert their further deterioration.

As Monday morning September 15^th dawned, investors the world-over nervously

assessed the impact of these 2 situations, along with anguish awaiting word if insurance titan American International Group (AIG) could raise $40 billion to bolster its balance sheet. The fate of our own, locally managed Washington Mutual (WaMu) is also at stake.

The confidence in the economy was echoed in a stock market that lost 504 points on Sept. 15, their sixth-largest point drop ever and their worst showing since the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Quoting one financial institution’s newsletter, "These stunning developments reflect the depth and magnitude of the credit crisis and the painful — albeit necessary — cleansing process underway to restore financial system stability."

"The International Monetary Fund predicted earlier this year that total losses from the credit crisis could reach almost $1 trillion. So far, banks have only taken about $350 billion in losses.

Commercial banks are also starting to feel the pinch. Eleven have closed so far this year, including Pasadena, Calif.-based IndyMac Bank, which had $32 billion in assets and $19 billion in deposits.

Christopher Whalen, managing director of Institutional Risk Analytics, a research firm, predicts that approximately 110 banks with $850 billion in assets could close by next July. That's out of 8,400 federally insured institutions, he said, which together hold $13 trillion in assets.

Individual customers are starting to get nervous about the financial health of their banks for the first time in generations, he said. Whalen's firm analyzes the safety and soundness of banks for business clients, but began receiving inquiries from individuals in the past two months for the first time, he said.

‘If we don't get ahead of this, we are going to face a run on the retail banks by election day,’ he said, quoting MSNBC. www.msnbc.msn.com

President George W. Bush signaled that the government would not continue to bail out Wall Street, saying only that ‘we are working to reduce disruptions and minimize the impact of these financial market developments on the broader economy.’

Of course not, after the huge mortgage company bailouts of IndyMac, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the American taxpayer all of the sudden has a lot of mortgages they own, many on the brink of foreclosure, at best. The Fed should not have been meddling in Wall Street’s affairs to begin with, letting things go asunder, instead of putting fingers in a leaking dike.

"Alan Greenspan says the country can't afford tax cuts of the magnitude proposed by Republican presidential contender John McCain - at least not without a corresponding reduction in government spending. 'Unless we cut spending, no,' the former Federal Reserve chairman said Friday [Sept. 12] when asked about McCain's proposed tax cuts, pegged in some estimates at $3.3 trillion. 'I'm not in favor of financing tax cuts with borrowed money,' Greenspan said during an interview with Bloomberg Television. 'I always have tied tax cuts to spending.'"

"…Painful — albeit necessary — cleansing process underway to restore financial system stability"?
Of course, since there was little to no oversight from the Bush Administration for the last 7 years, while the herd mentality of many financial institutions climbed on the bandwagon with zero down loans taking in customers with little or no credit history and ability to ever repay.

The cleansing required lays right at the feet of former Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan, his successor Bernanke, & Bush Treasury Secretaries complicity with such folly.

After all, how does a town the size of 5,000 people (Yelm, WA.) all of the sudden have a single proposed development to quadruple the town, unless it had so many loans being of a zero down, bankers greed to make money on anyone willing to move in and pay interest – which equates to monthly rent? Now the buyers (nee renters) just walk away from the homes since they have no equity and the American taxpayer is left holding the free-wheelers’ bag.

No, the government cannot afford, indeed does not have any more money to bailout anyone else; they’ll have to let the chips fall where they may.

Mix in a $100 billion earthquake or hurricane to bring down the insurance companies, more housing price drops, more foreclosures and more financial institution failures, huge personal debt & continued wars and this country has a perfect storm brewing.

So, what do we do?

First off, stay calm and centered.

My experience is that what Greg has shared previously is wise advice:

1. Know your bank or financial institution; get their financial report (Annual Report) and check their ratings on any of the bank rating sites.
2. Do not keep more than $100.000 in an account. This from the FDIC::

1. Store water in underground tanks & have your own independent source.
2. Buy at least 5 one ounce gold coins
3. Buy 5 acres in the country (or less or more as you see fit)
4. Buy and store all the foods that you like, 2 years worth for you and your family, more if you can
5. store seeds of all types in a clean, dark, dry place
6. get all the non-electric tools you like to use

I have been sharing these things with my family in Kentucky for over 2 decades. Hurricane Fay, Gustav & Ike displaced tens of thousands of Americans the last 2 months. and then Ike merged with a front and blew through Kentucky yesterday knocking out power to over 500,000 in a state with 3 million, with "…the biggest outage on record in the Commonwealth of Kentucky," said Gov. Beshear. Many neighborhoods have been told to expect to have no power 10-14 days. My family is getting the message!

Greg’s continued advocacy of following these simple principles should give one pause to ask, "Can I sustain myself for 1-14 days if I had to?"

"Is the government going to be there if my bank fails?

"Maybe I should overcome any fears and ambivalence and move to do something, for my future!"

God speed.

I attended my first beginners retreat in August and I remembered you said you wrote a book; so, I decided to check it out. I would like to thank you for writing it because it is one of the many reasons I am returning for the follow up. Not only did I enjoy reading about your experiences but it really inspired me to continue my enrollment in Ramtha's School for years to come. I just thought you should know that.

Thank you for everything. I am reading your book for the fourth time.  I read it at night before bed as it gives me hope and solace.
