3 eclipses in a row!

I have found it interesting that for the past 1 and a half lunar cycles 3 eclipses have occurred. Two partial Solar eclipses one in the Midnight Sun, the other one on the opposite side of the globe over Antarctica. One being on May 31st and the other was yesterday. Every 2 weeks, either the Moon barely misses transiting over the Sun or the Moon misses passing through the cast of Earth’s shadow. But to do so three times between Full New and Full again I find it unusual.  Two more eclipses will occurs this year. A partial Solar Eclipse on November 25 over Antarctica (again) and a total Lunar Eclipse on December 10 visible totality at moon set over North America.

Obama Haters are Fickle

Not long ago, Obama haters were furious with him for not acting fast enough with Libya. Now that he has they want to impeach him FOR acting. It is clear to me that they will perceive him wrong even if he is clearly right. This is clear to me because all the facts and logics get distorted somehow.  I have been hearing that his actions are against the Arab league. As they did no ask for such military force, some even ask what is the UN’s position on him and going out of his way to implement this “No Fly Zone”.   I ask myself. “do they get their news from some network I have never heard of?”

Facts:

The Arab League asked to UN to put in the No Fly Zone.

The Arab League -- for a change -- agrees with what is going on.

Obama did not declare war on Libya, instead he went in with the UN.

The “No fly zone” is an International police actions.

Qaddafi (without the deliberate misspelling) is a mad man that shoots passenger jets out of the sky for kicks.

Qaddafi is the homiest middle eastern leader there ever was! (Okay that was a cheap shot at his appearance. He does look as if he has taken some serious drugs in his hey-days.)


In conclusion:

Obama Haters are fickle and they have agreed to always disagree with him, even if he agrees with them.

WWW and 2012

It’s 2am and for some reason I am not sleeping, instead I got my media player connected to a Vocal Trance stream via Internet. To my left the TV is on with no sound, CNN is tuned in. Two simultaneous stories have dominated the news-feeds, Libya and Japan. I get so self-absorbed into my own issues while the world around me keeps on moving.

Japan gets hit by an Earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 .  Tsunami then ensues and tens of thousands of lives  are flushed out to sea. If that seems bad, a atomic crisis comes into play. All-the-while the Middle East is seeing unrest it has never seen before. I have seen unrest from the Iranian crisis with the 50 American hostages through the war in Iraq. But, this is different as a revolution for a new life has begun to sweep across the region. They have seen a new world.

 A new world  is brought to them with the new portable digital age. A technology that demands, without mercy, freedom to expand and can not be stop without destroying humanity with it. The webbing of the Intranets into one true Internet  grows like cells of bacteria. You can destroy any part of it but, the other cells can still communicate with each other; it has no core.  Communications can no longer be blocked.

As I look at all this I wonder if there is more to the alignment of the Winter Solstices of 2012?  The Mayan’s Long Count Calendar measures the Earth’s celestial precession every 25800 years.  At the very moment of the Winter Solstice in 2012 the sun will move over the galactic center of the Milky-Way as the Earth Sol and the Milky-way will align in conjunction with each other. It is believed that Humanity started during the last alignment. Humanity has nearly completed one celestial precession of the Earth. From my understanding, the Mayan’s did not say it was the end of the world, but an end of an age. We will either go into the age of enlightenment or destroy ourselves. The evidence seems to be becoming clear about this too. Information now flows in ways that can highly enlighten us-- or destroy us. The date is purely symbolic in my opinion; however, I think the warning is clear.  We had all feared that weapons of mass destruction would be the end of us. But, have you ever considered for a moment that the Internet, The World Wide Web, Al Gores’s baby, will make or break us?
