countdown to apocalypse 2012: vivos underground doomsday bunkers

doomsday bunker sales surge in wake of disasters and uncertainty; bunker sales skyrocket 1000%
Is your purchase of a spot in a secure Vivos underground shelter a ticket to salvation--at least survival--or another scam to empty your pocket? The Vivos company website offers a global risk assessment, including familiar threats such as electromagnetic pulse, solar flares, bioterrorism and economic collapse. There are links to movies that describe a number of possible scenarios. Co-ownership of a Vivos shelter goes for $25,000 upon acceptance of your application. The present writer questions whether you want to be underground if there's an earthquake, a number of shelters are in California, according to a Vivos map? The message seems to play off fear and reason should prevail in any decision? What's to stop what government remains after a catastrophe to declare an underground shelter--a detention camp? A finished shelter with all amenities is appealing--even in Nebraska--and may be right for you? The present writer wants simply to reinforce message: buyer beware! Is it terra vivos or subterran muerte?

lake vostok mystery

Mystery builds as Russians quit drilling for season. The drill lies less than 50 feet from subglacial Lake Vostok environment. Russians leave a two mile borehole filled with kerosene to prevent freezing, until drilling resumes in December. Mystery surrounds the lake even thicker than the two miles of ice covering it. There is a reluctance to penetrate an environment separated from the rest of the world for thousands of years. The pristine lake could be contaminated in the process, but release of pressurized gases is also a concern.

Vostok station was established in 1957 by the Russians, who suspected the presence of water. A.P.Kapitsa attempted to verify a freshwater lake by seismic measurements in the fifties and sixties, but data failed to confirm it. Russian scientists were convinced though physical pressure exerted by the ice sheets, could reach melting temperatures.

In 1974, British scientists did a radar survey by flying over Antarctica and uncovered the terrain below ice of predominantly mountains, and on Christmas Day, what appeared to be a lake. A satellite study by space-based radar in 1991 confirmed the presence of one of the largest lakes in the world. A documentary, "The Lost World of Lake Vostok," provides an excellent summary of efforts made in the discovery.

Lake Vostok lies not only two miles down in complete darkness, but apparently a very old and deep lake. Vostok is about the size of Lake Ontario but with twice the volume and almost half as deep as Lake Baikal--the deepest lake in the world. NASA became interested because of similarities to Europa and viewed the lake as a testing ground.

Mystery helped propagate rumors a decade ago, when a NASA press conference was interrupted after allusions to "national security" concerns and intervention by the NSA.

The Art Bell show contributed to controversy with statement on air scientists were suffering ailments after returning from the South Pole. A McMurdo Station physician made a comment at the time to his replacement, "fill your pockets with salt," a hint to bring
iodine tablets because of radiation. It didn't end there.

Two million missing Nazis and base 211 have been tied to the lake. A 2009 Science Daily article can be worked into the conspiracy web, reporting a dynamic network of lakes below Antarctica--what better place for Nazi U-boats? The conspiracy-fest continues with possibility a large crystal, which powered legendary Atlantis, is the source of the magnetic anomaly detected at one end of Lake Vostok.

Is all the hype comic book fantasy or disinfo agents at work to obfuscate reality? Worse, has a virus we haven't encountered been released? Or, is the South Pole going to suffer a similar fate as the Gulf of Mexico? We won't have long to wait, December is the last month before apocalyptic 2012!

alternative 3 revisited

Is Alternative 3 just good sci-fi? The planning of options for a dying planet due to climate change, seem to ring true. Anomalies Network website, founded by Olav Phillips, in article, "The Most Dangerous TV Show Ever Made", draws some interesting parallels between the last Science Report program broadcast in June 1977 and our recent past. The program was intended to air as an April Fool joke a grand finale for the discontinued program. Critics find, however, the addition of Tim Brinton as presenter, a well-known host, only added to the program's apparent authenticity. The program has virtually disappeared with all masters destroyed in a fire, some time ago. The article finds puzzling how the production company allowed not only the destruction of the film but all contracts and legal documents, as syndication rights are a significant source of income?


The climate change premise, which only surfaced as a prominent issue decades later, is an eery correspondence to our current reality.  Edward Teller, nuclear scientist and father of the hydrogen bomb, is credited as the source for many of  these ideas. Teller warned about rising levels of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases in a famous 1957 speech in front of American Chemical Society.  The article's author believes this may have been the inspiration behind Operation Argus , one year later, to see if gases could be vented into space by blowing a hole in the upper atmosphere with a nuclear explosion, which is Alternative 1.

Teller also "surmised that global warming could be reduced or abated by jettisoning large amount of metallic debris into the upper atmosphere to reflect sun light and cool the surface of the earth. In looking into his theory, it became quickly obvious that chemtrails were the obvious result of high altitude dumping of material and could very well be the execution of that original plan." It's another stunning parallel made in the article that seems apparent and squarely blames the famous nuclear scientist.

Alternative 2 was proposed as an option to build networks of underground cities and tunnels for a select few to carry on the human race.  Site R and the Svalbard Seed Vault add validity and support that these ideas have been put into effect, according to the article.  The Old Greenbrier Bunker under the resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia needs to be included as its completion in 1962, places it near the pinnacle of the Cold War Era.  The rumors of an underground rail into the Rocky Mountains underneath the Denver Airport, should be noted here.

Alternative 3 option planned on evacuating a cross section of the population to Mars via a way station on the back side of the Moon.  The final Science Report: "Alternative 3" contends the missing scientists in a brain drain of the United Kingdom were, in fact, apprehended for the purpose of the third alternative. The article points out the large number of children that go missing each year in the United States as a plausible resource. Nazi anti-gravity technology of Die Glocke or The Bell makes this option feasible in the author's estimation.

2012 is the suspected date, when the usefulness of the alternatives, may become apparent to the rest of us. The author isn't certain of the end game whether it's climate change. a solar flare, or an asteroid?  The article is going on intuition and gut instinct, predicting apocalypse for 2012, citing the end of the Mayan Calendar and remote viewers' reports of a hazy period around 2012. The present writer falls in the author's camp, the oligarchs are planning for something and aren't telling us!  You should watch Alternative 3 on You Tube while it's still on the net!

lunar eclipse to unlock apocalypse?

Nicholas West, in Activist Post entry,considers metaphysical effects on human consciousness of impending lunar eclipse to occur early Tuesday, December 21, 2010. This is a rare coincidence of lunar eclipse and winter solstice, the last incident occurred over a half millenia ago. There is an additional dimension of the galactic crossing of the ecliptic a rare once in 26,000 year event. West explains his article's title, "Will the Lunar Eclipse on December 21st, 2010 Unlock the "Apocalypse?", to clarify "...apocalypse, as it is purely translated, actually means a 'great revealing/revelation' or 'unveiling' or 'end of a cycle'," in contrast, to biblical use of apocalypse that may imply, "...effects from solar maximum predictions, magnetic pole shifts, new galactic radiation fields...".

West describes his view of our world as composed of vibrational waves of energy. The author suggests this lunar eclipse may mark the beginning of the great revealing, it "...may provide a cosmic magnifier for collective thoughts...", a reference to Mike Bara's belief from his book, "The Choice: Using Conscious Thought and Physics of the Mind to Reshape the World".

It is suggested the coming apocalypse is not to be feared but rather embraced as transformational--an enlightenment of what has been hidden! "Many point to our solar system's coming brush with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy as a time when new vibrational energy fields will radiate our planet, resulting in a massive transformation in what our conscious mind and five senses can 'decode'," West believes, "...at the very least it provides us with an excuse to have a party and howl positive vibes at the moon and beyond".
