Signs of the Times #152

Federal Deficit Depresses Real Estate Market and Hoped-For Recovery UPI, July 30 ‘The Fed´s Beige Book, released Wednesday, attempts to paint an optimistic picture, with "additional signs that the pace of economic activity increased a notch" in June and early July, after a weak spring. But it is unconvincing in doing so. For a start, the principal area of strength cited is residential real estate, which has been enjoying a boom for nearly 2 years now on the back of low and declining long term interest rates. ... If this sounds too good to be true, it is. ... a second, deeper recession that is exacerbated by a collapse in the housing market and in consumers´ financial position. ... According to the weekly Mortgage Bankers´ Association survey figures, announced Wednesday, the composite index was at 972.4, down 24.8 percent for the week, while the refinancing index was at 4,145.8, down 32.9 percent for the week and less than half its peak of late May/early June.’

Also, the local weather station out of Cleveland showed the sunset last night [July 30] on time lapse. It was really wierd. It showed the sun going (it was yellowish white) down below the horizon, then a big red ball showed up and then it went below the horizon. It appeared to be about half the size of the sun. If I really believed in Planet X, I´d say I just saw proof of it. The weatherman just kind of looked at it then tried to get the control room to replay it, but they wouldn´t. Guess that will be the last time we see that here.

I quit my job in Morristown, NJ last April because I was becoming overly anxious about Planet X and the ensuing debacle. My co-workers refused to believe me depite the proof ZetaTalk offers on its website (among others). Since I had never seen Planet X with my own eyes (only from the pictures provided on the site) I wanted to see for sure with my own camera. I was in New York City visiting a friend and it was an unusually bright day for the tri-state area, even for the summer. I took my camera and pointed it toward the sun. Low and behold, there it was!

We simply melt from heat here, in the North of Russia. It is 80-85 F during the day in the shadow. ... For today [July 30] Lisbon 100.4ºF, Santarém 105.8ºF, Setúbal 104ºF, Beja 111.2ºF. ... There is a reddish tinge to the sunset and clouds here in the UK and as a kid we learnt from parable ´red sky at night, shepherds delight´ meaning good weather the following day. Now it´s likely to be raining in the morning. ... Here in mid-georgia and these storms are quite freakish in nature. It´ll be sunny and/or stable and the next thing you know in rolls the thunderboomers. ... In Memphis we were hit by a freak storm that came across the Mississippi at approximately 50 miles an hour. There was very little warning (no sirens), and the weather services only issued an alert approximately 10 minutes before we were hit. It was literally a Hurricane on land. We had steady, straight-line winds of at least 60 to 70 mph with gusts of over 100mph (and no tornados were reported). This was most definitely abnormal. ... In Southwest Indiana it is weird. In late May early June we had 100 deg temps. July it is cold. Lucky if it gets to the mid 80´s. ... We have rain 4 days a week for the past three months. Our ground is full of water and we will soon be a flood area if we don´t get a break soon. I have lived in Pennsylvania for 45 years and have never seen it like it is now. ... In Southern California last night we had thunder storms and rain off and on. From the rain on the first day of summer, to the high humidity. Something is different. ... Western Washington has been having an extended heat wave/dry spell. Looks like our beautiful green landscapes are rapidly turning into an extreme fire hazard. ... Western Canada, the dry spell has been going on for months now. No more than 2 days of rain since May. ... There is an article on www.usatoday.com [July 30] that says this July is rainiest ever in Alaska.

The World's No.1 Science & Technology News Service http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99993986 To the left of the ice tower is Planet X in plain view in all it's glory! [Note: The photographer has informed inquirers that the photo accompanying the article was taken by him in either December 1999 or December 2000. The sun does not rise at the South Pole until late September. All of June and July 2003 the sun was below the horizon at the South Pole. In fact, the sun is still below the horizon at the South Pole in August.]

I am a US postal worker. In our current bulletin #22107 a major change has been made regarding employee absences. Before, the manual read ‘Acts of God’ and then defined them. The revision reads: ‘Acts of God and civil disorders involve disasters such as fire, flood, storms, or riots in the local community.’ My feeling is that these unprecedented changes are in preparation for aftertime conflicts and invocation of martial law.
