Actually Simon, though it may not appear so, we've been discussing the "implications" right here at the GT for years, over a decade now as a matter of fact. We don't have to say it overtly, and the particulars of the Announcement aren't even known, though we can have a pretty good idea of the salient points of any Announcement that would have the kind of far-reaching affects we would expect it to.

Even so, it's not much different than how some of us share the weekly ZT here for debate and reflection. And since I don't plan on getting on Courtney's bandwagon, I'd rather hear it here from you than there from him.

----------------------------------------



Whoa! Double-whoa! (First though; it does help if you use the Quote-box like I just did in quoting you, so we won't make the mistake of confusing your own thoughts with some Socialist/Communist/Agenda 21 types.)

The Zetans (or Zetas, if one prefers) do NOT "borrow humans to create hybrid babies", and their hybrid program should never be confused or mixed in with "genetic experiments at Dulce, human being used for food, etc" which are human-created and STS-fostered paradigms designed to instill fear in hapless humans. The hybrid program is a joint effort at the soulular level that requires not acquiesence, but outright proactive volunteering by the human souls to become co-parents to the new race that's in stasis awaiting the soul harvest and reimplantation of graduated souls.

The zetas are being given a second chance by the local universal authorities, and were awarded the contracts for the rebuilding effort that will culminate with the elevation of the last phase of humanity into fourth density, following the weeding out of "STS" souls from the planetary soul-garden. Alas, there was a time when that would have only been a 'theory' to even me, a chief proponent of it, and no I didn't adopt it merely as a result of reading ZT one day. It's inferred there, but its spelled out in Oahspe in explicit terms, quaint as the language is. It's always been that way, every time Earth "beholds the red star" and the local universal authorities solicit bids for the shepherding process as this planet goes through the cyclical house-cleaning. There are many facets to this, to our "origin and destiny", but it will have to wait until we're safely beyond third density for this to be proven, and by then it won't really matter anyway. In the meantime, CIA-sponsored Courtney Brown can bedazzle the assemblage, but the truth is we don't need him at all to discuss the "implications".

That discussion has been underway here for longer than the word "Announcement" was being bandied about, and you can be certain of at least one thing: if/when Pres. Obama brings up the subject of a large planetary object that's been sitting between Earth and the Sun for some years now, you will know it was the crazy old woman in Wisconsin, (and to a lesser degree people like myself), who was correct all along and the Johnny-Come-Late-lies of remote viewing latecomers to the party. Though to be fair, Courtney is being more in-your-face about it than most, and is at least willing to lay his reputation on the line even though it may technically be March 1st by the time Obama appears at the podium. At least we can't say Ali Velshi didn't warn us first, or was that why he was pushed out of CNN and into the waiting arms of Al Jazeera? Only his agent at N.S. Beinstock knows for sure!

I've read many hundreds of alien abduction reports over the years, most of them not involving Dulce, and the great majority of them describe extreme terror, anger, disruption of the abductee's lives resulting in the breakup of marriages, careers ending, suicide contemplated, etc. Don, are you saying that this bleak picture of the alien abduction phenomenon is a product of a human disinformation program, that the words presented as coming from the mouths of the abductees either during hypnosis
or during conscious recall of memories are a fabrication or a unintentionally distorted recall by the abductee?

If you are, I have to say your opinion on this issue, along with the opinions of other supporters of Nancy, just doesn't ring true to me. I've read too many stories that are consistent in their details, and that are being told by ordinary, often nameless people not looking for money and fame. These stories leave me with the firm conclusion that the hybrid program is not designed for our benefit. To me, it appears instead to be a key part of a slow invasion of Earth by a group of non-humans that have probably followed this procedure on many other planets in many other solar systems. Not one account read by me presents the idea of the interaction by the human and the alien being initiated by the human "volunteering". Some people claim the act of volunteering occurred before the human was born, but this is highly doubtful, in my opinion. If this were the case, the abduction experience reports wouldn't be filled with terror and unnecessary physical pain, and wouldn't result in the deep psychological damage so often reported by the abductees.

Don, may I ask you one more question? You recently posted that you expect the Announcement at the end of this month. My assumption is that the top level political types would wait until the last possible date to announce the presence of Nibiru in our solar system because they know it would cause social and economic chaos. If Nibiru is getting close enough to begin causing clear-cut damage to our planet, why haven't amateur astronomers reported it's presence? This is a question that must be answered. There are thousands of amateurs, many of them with sophisticated telescopes, telescopes that are powerful enough to discover asteroids, comets, etc., and so surely someone would have seen a planet that is much bigger than Earth. Or is it not a planet? Is it a brown dwarf emitting little visible light? In that case they would still see it when it passes in front of another illuminated body.

Is Nancy still saying we are at level 7? If so, how long have we been stuck at 7? If the Annoucement is two week away, shouldn't we be moving on to level 8?

To answer that, let me give you the experience of one abductee who parented at least 3 'alien' fetuses, which were then taken after about 4 months of pregnancy. It was the last abduction that she experienced that was 'filled with terror and extreme anger', until the hypnotic regression allowed her to see that the last one was NOT an "alien abduction", but one that was staged to appear as alien, and apparently carried out by fellow employees of EG&G (that Area-51 employer) where she had been hired - coincidentally - following her public description of her brief recollections of what she felt were genuine but short-lived, mysterious pregnancies. During the last genuine alien abduction, the memory of which occurred during the recollection, she recalled being indignant at how the aliens were probing and poking and 'lacking bedside manner' in essence (I'm paraphrasing but the gist is what's important), to which they telepathically asked her if she would prefer having the experience of an orgasm during the procedure. She apparently indicated that at least it would make the procedure 'more bearable', but then when she began to experience it [orgasm] she became quite discombobulated and - the analogy is one I'll never forget hearing - she felt like she was being torn between "flooring the accelerator or the brake". However it was nothing like the sheer terror she experienced at the hands of the staged abduction, which caused permanent damage and apparently included genuine physical 'rape'. Apparently it was designed to replace or implant false memories that would discolor and overwhelm any other recollections she might have of the earlier, genuinely alien abductions.

To be sure, the conscious human mind is normally adamantly against any such abduction, because even extremely good-hearted and wise humans often recoil in horror at the thought that anyone, especially THEY, could be abducted against their conscious will. This natural human inclination of the conscious mind is also reinforced by the fact that whether subconsciously or due to memory-screening, the human abductee is braced for the fear-based paranoia among the normally-STS power-mongering humans that are in control of society. Most humans that go about happily chatting about their latest excursion aboard alien craft are ostracized and ridiculed, and in some cases attacked and savaged in a most physical way. Which in effect is a "yes" answer to your last question above.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I agree with your first assessment; they would indeed wait until they couldn't wait any longer, and now the bizarre weather the globe is experiencing is causing bewilderment and consternation among humans of all intellectual levels; they're all asking, "WHY?!? WTF?!?". As to your question that follows, I can say count me in among the amateur astronomers since I have a telescope with tripod and numerous lenses and apertures. However, about 6 weeks ago I got the best answer of all from an astronomer with impeccable credentials who was being interviewed by an analyst with the BBC regarding the recent launch of the European Space Agency's most recent rocket (or was it NASA.....it's always the details that escape me lest I lose the importance of the fact....I'll go dig it up from an email I sent 'round to close friends). The purported mission of said rocket was to look for near-Earth objects, and the question had to do with that very claim; the astronomical pooh-bah grew audibly excited and launched into an explanation of how even the most sophisticated observatories on Earth could NOT see these objects between us and the Sun, due to the extreme brightness of the Sun. Even the analyst seemed taken aback, and mentioned - as if to caution him - that he seemed to have gotten a bit excited, to which the astronomer said something forgettable about how passionate he was about the possibilities of the new camera and telescope and astronomy in general blah blah, but the moment did not escape me: it was a telling moment that was basically broadcasting the fact to the millions of potential listeners that the professionals could NOT see objects, even large NEOs/asteroids/PLANETS even! that were "hiding between us and the Sun". And I don't think I'm paraphrasing that, he said something about how they "hide" there. Proof? No. Logical, under the paradigm I continually refer to? Yes. THEY ANNOUNCED THEY COULD NOT 'SEE' ANYTHING in that spectrum of the sky.



Aren't we at level 8 now, having by-passed the essential earth-changes predicted for the 7-of-10? Those cagey zetas.....cunningly cagey as they continue to both insult clueless humans AND bamboozle the human PTB.

I too am not satisfied with NL/ZT's "explanation" for the delay in the 7-of-10, though if the end result is that if far fewer souls are skewed and warped in the harvest, which is supposedly why the COW stepped in and placed earthquake-deadening 'boxes' in the Pacific, then the deception is supposedly worth it. Still, I have yet to see where the "end justifies the means" if the "means" is lying. However, considering how we're lied to constantly by the STS power-elite, then until the audience of truth-seekers begins to include wide swaths of humans, let them [the PTB] be misled as they listen intently to the very people they publicly slam - Nancy Lieder, the STO zetas, and those that have concluded that the essential message of a pending poleshift to be caused by a cyclically-returning planetoid/brown-dwarf star is authentic and has been with-held from the public.

Thank you for asking pointed questions, btw. Seriously.

Yes, Don, some apparently "alien" abductions could involve only military-type humans using screen memories. But I truly doubt all of them are of this type. There are consequences to these abductions that cannot be explained by screen memories, consequences that often extend throughout a human abductee's life. One specific example won't change my mind that this isn't a benevolent process.

As to to the idea that Nibiru can't be seen because the light of the Sun is too bright, I guess it is possible. But why is that damn thing always hanging out near the Sun? The sky is one wide mother!

Speaking of hats. I'll eat my hat if there is an announcement regarding Nibiru before the end of this calendar year. There should be an outer range of time when the Zetas`predictions become void of meaning. If we are still stuck in level 7 when New Year 2020 dawns, won`t it be time to say their message was not telling us the truthé (the question mark I typed became something else because my typewriter can suddenly become french).

I wouldn't want to change your mind, but I'd at least want to make sure you took all the angles into account. I myself wasn't satisfied with the usual or expected response, which is that evil aliens are abducting humans against their will. I eventually came to understand that there is a very severe quarantine in place around earth which prohibits outright alien interference, though that may be only a modern phenomenon since we have the accounts of the Vedic vimanas; we know this because we never hear of recent-day UFO battles in which X number of aircraft/vimanas/flying saucers were attacked by a hostile group of similar craft, similar at least in that they all flew through the air and displayed all the capabilities Hollywood could invent, and more. Nope; hasn't happened in modern times and public view off-screen.

I then reflected that if they wanted to, (some) aliens could and would swoop down and snatch us from a picnic table if they were allowed to. And after that I started researching the dreams and character of the abductees. I've concluded to my own satisfaction at least that all of us are susceptible to inspirations of every type imaginable, and depending on whether we're predisposed to hostility towards our fellows or assisting them, the aliens responsible for encouraging whichever kind of behavior are given much more latitude in our 'dream state' or 'subconscious'. Eventually, if we're certain about which side of the fence we're on, we get off the fence and engage with these entities, some of which 'abduct' us because we said 'Yes!'. Most of the 'abductions' by the 'good guys' (and yes I believe in 'good guys' and 'bad guys', as well as the vast majority of undecideds that tend to watch confrontations play out from the sidelines before they make their decision) resulted in the hybrids for the repopulation of Earth (another thing I grokked even before landing on ZT's home page thanks to a tip from a Burisch-connected Majestic operative). There are also bad aliens, and though their abductions aren't for use in the 'Repopulation by Hybrid' program, they too occur - and the respondent has subconsciously 'asked for it', though most of the time in an unexpected manner, shall we say.

So in my view there are both 'good' and 'bad' (or evil) aliens that conduct abductions but they must still get the permission from the soul at our center, even if we're not consciously disposed to such a scenario (even when it happens to the individual). The majority are 'good', were 'good', and 'bad' aliens left to their occasional glitches and an equal chance to bedazzle the humn



I'll dig that BBC link up tomorrow, and he'll explain why we can't see stuff out that way. That's why he's on the BBC and I'm posting here, and he gives a pretty clever understanding. Would that I could do the same.



Oh I most certainly agree (other than the hat-eating part; my wager is that it will occur far in advance of the end of the calendar year or I'll eat my hat), and if we move past 2014 into 2015 without either the announcement or the expected earth changes occurring, we can know for certain that there has been a high-level bamboozlement that is almost defiantly antagonistic to the human endeavor to understand our origin, existence and destiny...to the extent it would lie with utter impunity. Even though it (the bamboozlement) is likely to be described by psychophants and arrogant aliens as "having made progress". pfffft.

Okay midnight I found what I needed, though I'm sorry to say the podcast is no longer available on the BBC website since it's now over 30 days.

Here's the relevant snippet I wrote to my friend at the time:



Let me reiterate, for the importance it holds:

"we can't see because our telescopes are blinded by the sun" - Adam Rutherford, astronomer with the European Space Agency

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ancient Aliens" and Dan Burisch & Chi'el'ah the J-Rod

This is for all the readers who might have even a slight interest in the story that originally brought many of us together; the folks at that show, which airs on the History 2 channel here in the States, have asked me for materials on this story. (And they weren't even aware of the name "Chi'el'ah".) I felt strongly that they were simply going to tell the same old stale story about the alien that looks like an insect and that 'came back from our future'; what are the thoughts of the readers here as to what the essential message about Burisch and the J-Rod should be? Was the J-Rod a liar? (He allegedly told Burisch the pole-shift would occur March 28th, 2009.) Was he a traitor to his species? (NL/ZT claims that he was.)

David Hatcher-Childress is/was originally going to be the one to provide the commentary for this story, but he's "on location somewhere in the South Pacific" so I might be speaking with Jason Martell about this sometime over the next 48 hours, as they didn't take my first refusal as final. If any of the readers can post their opinions in the meanwhile, I'm very interested in hearing them and taking them into account.

Well Friday night and Saturday (especially the morning) were wild with many areas receiving a battering.

Apparently a very badly damaged section of sea wall that was being temporarily protected by shipping containers welded together and filled with rocks was breached. I dont know exactly how badly and whether it was just by waves smashing over it (or in another way) as that information was not given.

In some coastal areas the beach huts used by local people were thrown about like toys. Many were smashed to smitherines. Even concrete ones!

One restaurant where diners were celebrating Valentines Day had an especially nasty evening. The winds sent shingle from the beach flying through the air, smashing some windows and showering diners and staff with a seriously unpleasent cocktail of small stones and broken glass. The army had to rescue everyone, and as their vehicle was leaving the area its front windscreen fell victim of the flying shingle as well. The unfortunate diners mostly also lost their cars, as these too were tossed about like toys by the wind and as with the restaurant also inundated by the storm tide.

There was significant disruption from fallen trees and power (electricity) supply cables. That said, things were not as severe as the great storm of 1987, when even even London came to a standstill.

Moving on to more general things, in a town to the north of London called Hemel Hempstead on Saturday morning a large sinkhole opened up in a residential area. The hole was partly under a house and partly under a road - you could see quite clearly that part of the house had a gaping void under it, but the road "looked" OK, as the tarmac remained in situ. The hole was 20 ft deep and 35ft wide... and growing.

Meanwhile, a water quality study in one of the areas that were flooded found that the flood waters are so highly contaminated (with bacteria) that there would be a risk to health if anyone drank it. But this type of result was expected as the waters contain all sorts of yucky stuff, including raw sewage.

On a happier note, it is said that the Thames Barrier saved the central areas of London from flooding. The barrier has been closed more times this year than in all the years since it became operational (which was 1982).

The flooding would have been at high tide where the incoming tidal waters met the outflowing waters from the extreme rainfall.

The last time the Thames inundated London was 1928, and this short article might be of interest.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-26153241

Below is a quote of the opening text on that page. I was amazed to see how the politics of who pays for dredging rivers and flood defences almost exactly mirrored those of 'today'!




On another happy note, Sunday (today) has been mild dry and sunny, giving time for repairs, etc. This weather was however unexpected, and I took advantage of it by putting aside what I had planned to do (on the computer) and going to the Thames Barrier with my camcorder in the hope that I might see it closed - this being something that I've never seen before.

The first three images show it closed, the fourth image shows it partially reopened. In due course there will video footage on youtube (I hope later this week). The sun was not at the best angle for these images but I was not able to relocate to the other side of the river. The second image (especially) also shows seagulls flying over the waters.









Simon

Hello Don,

I used the word "borrow" in preference to the word "kidnap". For the vast majority of humans the latter word would be more appropiate. Not me, because I'm one of the small percentage of humans who have heard of the concept of pre-birth agreement. In fact, somewhere along the line* I managed to become aware of the possibility / probability that the Zetans themselves incarnate into human bodies for the very purpose of being part of the breeding program in this way. This certainly makes the use of the word "kidnap" totally inappropriate.

*(I think it was a psychic reading on a time when someone in NYC was seen being taken aboard; although the human ego was petrified with fear the spiritual essence was delighted as that was exactly what it had incarnated into that body for).

When things are borrowed the intent is usually to return the item afterwards, undamaged and fully functional.



I understand your point of view with respect of the above. I was speaking from what the POV of the majority of humans would be, if they thought that such events were anything more than mere sci-fi horror film scripts.

Its my understanding that the hybrids are not coming to this planet, at least not to replace our present breed of humankind. Some may come here to help with specific projects, but that will be a different issue.

Instead they are being given a planet of their own and will be known as the Essassani.



wow! if the Alien from Andromedan YouTube messages (and my memory) are correct then they will discover planet Taus, which is supposed to be inhabited by some Plaiedians.


Courtney has now created a new fb page for the implication postings.

QUIZ

Directions: Multiple Choice. Pick one.
Why is Star Wars the most lucrative film and merchandising franchise on Earth?
1. Dumb luck
2. Something in it resonates with humanity’s subconscious collective memory.

Directions: Complete the sentence. Pick all that apply.
George Lucas is...
1. a Hollywood geek with a great imagination.
2. a former evil emperor.
3. a former freedom fighter.
4. married to a hottie.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

I suppose that the quiz format was chosen as a way of putting ideas into people's heads without actually telling them anything. Bizarre, perhaps. It would help (me) select the correct answers if I knew more about his wife. If she really is that hot then I'd want her around here - just think of the money I could save not having to burn fossil fuel for hot water.

Simon

Way cool eh?

That is info that seals our fate - just have to choose. Know the gates and know the repentances.

Wait till you get to the description of the Many Heavens right up to the Treasury of Light.

Just been on a weekend with Dr.s JJ and Desiree - and wow! Got another one coming up next w/end.

Some crazy news - it been confirmed now (allegedly) the sea bed is steadily warming up = crazy weather.

Also the time / space overlap is here - anyone deny their time is bleeding away?

So we don't have long now. 5 Gifts from the HolyS - just be at the right level....

Thanks for that clarification, Simon, and I'm glad to know you're familiar with pre-birth agreements (and also in-incarnation meetings and conferences which often lead to the same result).



Possibly, but I don't know that the majority of humans would share that POV though at minimum a goodly amount of them would. There would have to be something included in the Announcement to allay the concerns of the vast 'middle' of the electorate, or citizenry, though to do that would likely result in the evisceration of their religious belief system.



Simon, where did you get this understanding, and have you gone through the deduction process step by step to see if that comports with other data, as well as your own spiritual awareness? I will tell you I have done so after pondering a number of different scenarios (before I even heard of ZetaTalk, let me be clear about that) though of course if one posits the pole-shift and posits it resulting from a passage of a large planetary body, then spiritual logic would show that a divine Creator (yet another thing that would have to be posited, though all of these "posits" work most seamlessly together and do not require a patchwork of different paradigms) would most likely avail himself/herself/itself of various intermediaries (angels, seraphim, 'spirit guides' etc.) in order to reconstitute the world as a home for new life-forms in which the Great Experiment would continue. To do that, in light of the horrific toll in third-density life, those new life-forms would have to be created beforehand and in effect "stashed" somewhere--- such as the base between Mars and Jupiter outside the asteroid belt where the Roswell ship captain Airl was based and which is shown on the back of the Swiss 10-franc note (circa 1979-1984) as a large white egg, which is most fitting. They are also housed in the various ET bases secreted on Earth in fourth-density, such as the Gobi Desert.

How is the planet they will be given different from Earth, and why would it be a different planet, since this Earth would need sufficient life-forms to house the vast number of newly-dead (physically) human souls? Where did the term "Essassani" come from, in your lexicon?





Are you and the Andromedans saying there's yet another planet in addition to Nibiru - this new one named 'Taus' (any other sources than the Andromedan YouTubers?) - hiding between us and the Sun? Must be getting awfully crowded there....what with moon swirls and dust cloud et al.....




I suppose if Pres. Obama says, during the Announcement, that for details on the situation people should go to ZetaTalk and ignore all the black-ops-approved charlatans, the vast majority of humans will be angry at him.

Here's this weekend's ZT on the issue:

The Case of the Missing Georgia/South Carolina/North Carolina Earthquake on Feb. 14, 2014

Has everyone heard that there is no record (still, as of this writing 48 hours later) of the 4.4 earthquake that hit Georgia and South Carolina? On the official USGS website, that is. Nothing listed in my QuakeWatch app, which I check religiously. What a STUNNING THEFT.



REGIONAL MEDIA ONLY, apparently:

The Associated Press:

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/prelim-m ... akes-sc-ga

USA Today:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nati ... a/5501873/

CBS News:

http://www.cbsatlanta.com/story/2473110 ... h-carolina

And an "after-shock" of 3.2 about 10 hours ago.

For those who don't live in the US, this is unusual not just because it's not on their QuakeWatch app, or in the main headlines, it's also extremely out-of-place. It's not on the ring of fire, it's not in Oklahoma, or California, or Mexico, etc. To be sure, trolls are soothingly swarming in to insert "not since 19____ or 18___" have we had "[insert extreme weather/earthquakes/volcanoes]".



And the beat(ing) goes on as the big bully continues its inexorable journey to us....

I would like to put in my 2cents again on this. It is just speculation though. I think that a world game changer could also be a reset of the world banks to the point where all debt would be canceled. A debt free world would have no limits to the heights it could climb to!

I've known about this for so long (decades) that alas I no longer recall my original sources. A web search on the name Essassani will reveal much information.



Indeed so, that is what is being said.

I conducted a web search on 'Taus Planet' and below are just some of the results:

To me it sounds like the build up of a Super Add for RV awareness

Kind of confirms my opinion...

I've Been Having STRANGE phone calls lately!

the Phone Rings I Hear NOTHING on the other end and whoever it was just Hangs up?!?

Things have gone Missing either Temporarily (and showed up in places I remember I NEVER put them) or PERMANENTLY!

I've been having odd pains everywhere?!?

My internet has been Fuzzing over?!?

I've been passing out on a VERY REGULAR basis?!?

Houses that were empty one day have people fully established in them the next! and Vice Versa WTF is going on?

These strange white flashes in the sky?!? I feel weird!

Foods that have tasted Normal one day have tasted Fishy / Cheesy / Mildewish the next.

Reality seems on my part to be coming apart at the seams!
