		<description>PS...You guys should be happy to know that the Government contacted me today.  It appears that someone complained about threats that I made.  

Why is the government concerned about something that doesn&#039;t exist?

Keep thinking you are safe.  While they hide you will be left to fend off the bombardment of meteors.</description>

		<description>A Martian orbiter has spotted seasonal footprints of spring creeping up on the red planet.

Seasonal polar caps formed from carbon dioxide have begun vaporizing or changing directly from solid ice to gas, and have kicked off a chain of events detected by NASA&#039;s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO)
=========================================================================

Amatuer sleuths have known that for YEARS.  Why admit it now?

Changes in seasonal patterns suggest the possibility of life.  Yet, NASA holds that information close to the vest.  WHY?

Why don&#039;t we know more about the dark side of the MOON?  We can see tracks on Mars from the mars rovers but we don&#039;t even know what&#039;s on the dark side of the moon?

Why can&#039;t we put an orbiter in the Moons atmosphere and detail EXACTLY what&#039;s on the dark side?

We will suffer the same fate as Mars did.  The moon was used as a base station to colonized Earth by Martians.  They know this but refuse to do anything construtive to prevent it.</description>

		<description>Hidden Planet Discovered in Old Hubble Data
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29993465/

Wake up America!!!  These cowards know what&#039;s going on!  This planet is 130 light years away.  That&#039;s right around the corner in astronomical terms.  The universe is 15 billion years old.  130 light years is nothing compared to 130 light years.  That&#039;s just the stuff that they tell us about.

Listen...if they just found this out then what else don&#039;t they know?  Or do know?</description>

Although I do gotta say, it’s kinda cool and renegade at the idea that IF there were some Caves for Cowards, Texas would be all like “Fergit that…” and be like a defender of the people.  Modern Day Superman. 
=========================================================================

LOL!!!  I get a little over dramatic at times.  However, who are THEY to decide which children live and which one&#039;s don&#039;t?  Why are my children expendable and theirs are not?  So every man, woman and I&#039;m sad to say child trying to hide in some cave will be my focus.

I say NO government run caves period.  Unless we all can fit in there.

Any G-Men listening here me well!!!  You better pack some body bags in those caves.</description>

I&#039;d have time to stage a little come-to-Gawd meetin&#039; with some fundies I know. Of course, the Gawd in question would be Nyarlathotep...</description>

		<description>&quot;Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the Sun, 

       and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.   

       And men (mankind ... men and women) 

       were scorched with great heat, 

       and they blasphemed the Name of God 

       who has power over these plagues; 

       and they did not repent and give Him glory.&quot;

       (Revelation 16:8-9)

Solar flare that is predicted to happen?

&quot;And great hail from heaven fell upon men,   (&quot;Mankind&quot;..  men and women)

       each hailstone about the weight of a talent. 

       (A &quot;talent&quot; = 85 - 114 pounds!!)

       Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, 

       since that plague was exceedingly great.&quot;

       (Revelation 16:21) 

Meteors maybe?

  &quot;And the stars of heaven fell to the Earth, 

        as a fig tree drops its late figs 

        when it is shaken by a mighty wind.

        Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, 

        and every mountain and island was moved out of its place

        And the kings of the Earth, the great men, the rich men, 

        the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, 

        hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains&quot;

        (Revelation 6:13-15)

Cave for the Cowards maybe?</description>

		<description>Ah, the mX &quot;newspaper&quot; (I use that term loosely) yesterday mentioned this - just said there was a fireball seen in the sky and concluded with something like &quot;weather experts have no explanation for it&quot;. Well of course not, they should be asking the astronomers! &gt;_&lt;</description>

Also, about how the goverments wouldn’t tell anyone if there was an ELE… who’s going to stop all the amateur and independent telescopes out there? That’s a WHOLE mess of people to stop. *Shrug* Maybe I’m just one of those naive naysayers who already has a spot in the Coward Cave
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Like the two that wizzed by us that they missed.  Amateur astronomers call the NASA hotline FIRST.  NASA then tells them its top secret and that they will get a seat in the Cave for Cowards when the chit hits the fan.  This seat is good for them and their families.  That&#039;s plenty of reason to keep it quiet don&#039;t you think?</description>

		<description>Why won&#039;t NASA or the President put all our fears to rest then?  30 minutes of their time doesn&#039;t seem unreasonable does it.  Tell us there is nothing to worry about.  Have a news conference and say there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

But the naysayers will say, &quot;why should they&quot;.  There is nothing to worry about right.  I will tell you this right now naysayers.  I will do everything in my power to ruin any chance of you entering that Cave for Cowards.  I will seek it out and blow that rat hole up.</description>

		<description>Oh yeah...there was no collision between satellites like they told us.  Those things were hit by meteors.  The space shuttle has almost been hit several times in the last few months.</description>

		<description>Oh yeah...the naysayers on here probably have a seat in the Cave for Cowards.  Paid zombies to spread disinformation.

Its been going on since WWI.

These cowards know something....Why no media covering this event?  Especially after the Texas event.  Let&#039;s not forget the one that blew up over Africa a few weeks ago.  So Texas, Kentucky, Canada, Virginia and Africa...all just meer co-inky-dink?

The media mogals are a instrument to control government disinformation.  Tell me I&#039;m wrong about that.</description>

		<description>Any questions naysayers?

It was not a rocket.  Oh yeah...another one in Canada?

Come on guys!!!

This is not natural to have this many hit our atmosphere.  Yes...it does happen but not this often.  Look at the sheer odds of this happening now.  Our galaxy is way to big for comets to hit our atmosphere at this rate in such a short time.

The caves of cowards are being built around the world.  The outerspace Cave of Cowards is almost complete.  IE...the International Space Station.

They just need to tell us now.  I&#039;m sure private investors will do anything and everything to help save this planet.</description>

&quot;But what about the frequency of these things? THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY LATELY! Are we under attack? No, I don’t think so. I think it’s a mix of COINCIDENCE — there may be a few more than usual... sometimes there are more and sometimes fewer — together with people being more aware of them because they’ve been in the news lately.&quot;

I BET TO DIFFER!  If you peruse the &quot;Video Meteor Database&quot; on the International Meteor Organization&#039;s website (http://www.imonet.org/database.html) you find a rather astonishing phenomenon:

Look at the &quot;overall&quot; column for the years 2004-2008 respectively. The total number of recorded meteor events increases as follows: 25,209 &lt; 40,785 &lt; 69,809 &lt; 75,070 &lt; 92,311. Remember, this is from a fixed number of cameras around the world observing the sky on virtually every night throughout the year.

This is a rather ASTONISHING INCREASE to say the least and it is certainly NOT attributable to &#039;greater awareness.&#039;  SOMETHING IS GOING ON WHICH NEEDS EXPLAINING.

Given the government&#039;s rather clumsy initial attempts to convince the public that the latest meteor events were merely  &quot;space junk&quot;  (remember that they tried it as well regarding both the Tesxas and Kentucky fireballs in February)...well...one can only wonder if they know something and just aren&#039;t telling.</description>

		<description>Also, about how the goverments wouldn&#039;t tell anyone if there was an ELE... who&#039;s going to stop all the amateur and independent telescopes out there? That&#039;s a WHOLE mess of people to stop. *Shrug* Maybe I&#039;m just one of those naive naysayers who already has a spot in the Coward Caves.</description>

		<description>Wow.... Texas2Step and DannyDangerously, I dunno what to think of that. I mean, I guess on one side I can get a bit worried considering the fact that it may be something leading up to a much bigger object.. (but at the same time... wouldn&#039;t the big one be first and the smaller remanants be there after? Just sayin.)

Or, on the other side of the coin..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH Wow...</description>
