Boomer On The Ground: The Moon Is Rocking Like a Cradle On Steroids - Antoher Dispatch in the Continuing Lunar Lunacy Series
by
Thomas B. Wallace
A scant three days ago I filed a dispatch on what I termed at that time the "...extreme..." lunar libration movements that have been occurring over the last three months. At this point, as I have observed the moon this morning, at 28 degrees 54 hours Lattitude, and 91 degrees 11 hours Longitude, at 06:10 in the morning, the moon lies 20 degrees above the horizon at 240 degrees azimuth. I am reminded of the nursery rhyme:
"Rockabye baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock,
And when the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all..."
For, as I write these words this is the orientation of the moon as I saw it just forty minutes ago:

While the following was the moon as it appeared just 72 hours ago:

Readers everywhere should understand that this is almost 60 degrees of Libration movement that should be only 7 degrees. Something is not right and since our perspective on the moon is based on both the movements of the moon and the movements of the earth it must be something that is affecting the motion of both as they are tidally locked together. I am not an astronomer, so the actual mathmatics of what is going on is beyond me. What is not beyond me is this, the earth and the moon are rocking on their axes as much as 60 degrees in a period of less than 3 days. This cannot be good for any number of reasons. First of course is the disturbances it can cause in our weather. No question that uncontrolled and radical movements of the earth itself will cause compensatory and equally unpredictable movements in the atmosphere as it both acts as a brake and as it responds to the movement of masses beneath it. Secondarily it could be a harbinger of shifts in the magnetic poles as well, wherein, for whatever period of time it takes for such a shift to occur and then stabilize in the new position, the surface of the earth will be bombarded with cosmic radiation unshielded by the Van Allen Radiation Belts. Someone needs to come up with a sun block in the SPF 1200 range if that is going to occur.
Another thing that is becoming increasingly clear is that those whom we have charged with making these observations for us, and with advising us when something unusual or dangerous is going on, have failed and are failing in that responsibility. It is well past the time when we should have been told of these events and advised regarding measures we can take to protect ourselves. Of course, it is always possible that nothing will happen that drastically affects our lives. If so, all well and good. But if there is even a remote possibility that a disaster of cosmic proportions stares us in the face, and we can do something to protect either ourselves, or our posterity, then it is incumbent on those who recognize the danger to alert those of us who are not paying attention.
So Pay Attention!!!
The Moon and the Earth are rocking on their axes and it could mean impending events that could be unfortunate if you have not protected yourself, your family and your friends. So, what can you do to protect yourself from a storm of cosmic radiation that can pretty much penetrate anything except lead and fry whatever is on the other side? I do not know... that is one of those things I have depended on the scientists to tell me when the time came.
It appears the time is upon us, and the scientists are not talking. Well, then, as the Saturday Night Live skit would say..."talk amongst yourselves..." It is up to us to become knowledgeable and aware and prepared, whatever that may mean. I will, of course, do whatever research I can and publish it here, but I am only one man. We must all begin to prepare to protect ourselves, our friends, our families and our knowledge, if for no other reason than simply to know that regardless of what the future holds, our part of it will be as good as we can make it...
