Crazy?
Posted under out thereRead Lance Ferguson’s take on Hurricane Katrina & New Orleans. It’s very good.
Separate train of thought: am I going crazy, or is the world making less sense than it used to? The older I get the more the alternative explanations for things that I used to think were wacko seem more and more plausible.

Hi Molly, Lance's article was absolutley a clear, concise, and understandable explaination for the events surrounding Katrina and New Orleans. But the event brings to my mind the Tsnami in January this year. I had heard from the news that the power generated from the underwater subduction earthquake was so powerful that it changed the Earth's axis, probably fractions of a degree. Being trained in physical geography and specifically climatology, any change to the Earth's axis can have the impact of a change in climate. The axial tilt of the Earth which is or was 23.5% has a 40,000-year cycle of change that can vary from about 24% to as little as 22%. This of course translates to a change in the radiation from the Sun reaching Earth and can change the climate (weather patterns over a long, long period of time)to warmer and wetter or colder and drier. Of course there are many more variables to this phenonoma. Both of these two events of this year have been physically catastrophic to Mother Earth. Do you have any info concerning the change in Earth's axis? I have not heard any new info from the new? Are these events astrologically linked and part of a kind of chain reaction and are the results magnified due to human causes and weakness? These are just some of the thoughts that have been spinning in my mind as I try to comprehend the magnatudude of what has been happening.2 · Molly · 13 September 2005
Hi Maria-- I haven't read about the earth's axis shifting.. but concerning climate change, the weatherwars.info site has an interesting alternative explanation. There's an interview with the author of the weatherwars site online as well.3 · Molly · 13 September 2005
..or you could follow the simpler example of Pat Robertson and just blame it on Hollywood and gay folk.4 · María · 13 September 2005
Well I am sure there is a huge following of folks who want to use “sinning” to bolster their own agenda and promote their definintion and concept of sinning by saying “in the name of God” to blame everything on that goes wrong. I lived with hearing that kind of philosophy and how the wicked would soon be destroyed for 30+ years. íHogwash! The causes of such a cataclysmic event are complex and synergistic. Astrology explains the energies and their workings. But I belive the most formost cause of the human loss of life and property and the cause of suffering is the environemental damage to Mother Earth herself. Since the beginings of the Industrial revolution and the giant leap of technology, our modern civilizations have been releasing billions and billions of tons of carbon into the atomophere due to the burning of fossil fuels. This unfettered need for massive amounts of energy has resulted in releasing carbon and energy that was ‘stored' within Mother Earth for millions and millions of years. We have altered our environment. The oceans of the world are a huge ‘sink' or storage basin, if you will, for this now latent energy. When due to climatic conditions great storms begin to move over warmer waters they pick up this latent energy and hurricans are born. As Lance alludes to, there appears to be historical evidence of great hurricans in the past, but now there is a new type of enviromental damage. Technology ‘tamed' the Mississippi River. What was a natural and normal occurance of of carrying sediments to the Miss. Delta and normal flooding to build the Delta has been altered. The marshlands and wetlands offered a buffer zone to protect against such raveshing storm surges. These too have been altered. And what of the pumping of the precious ‘black gold' or oil that lies beneath the region? What takes up that space? Surly there is somewhat of sinking that will occure even if there is an underground influx of seawater. And finally, the system of levees that was build just didn't have the capability to withstand the hurrican's effects. I beleive we are all interconnected to the cosmos in intrical ways and yes truly the energies Earth recieves have profound effects. To blame such events on ‘Gods Wrath' is so sad. We need healing and love in times like this not hate and blame. How sad to follow such a philosophy as that man.María
