PHOENIX FIVE EARTH CHANGE BULLETINS
February 15 , 2001 by MW Mandeville
ITEM(S):Mahesh Send Commiques From India: earthquake relief pleas
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is possible that the 7.8 quake in India may be seen in retrospect as the
beginning of the tribulation phase. Certainly parts of India are in
tribulation. I was criticised about being too alarmist about the impact of
five 7.8 quakes, about which I suggested that the functioning of civil
society and government of a nation like India might collapse.
Consider now the dispatches below from Indian sources. Several million
people are stranded alongside the roads looking at cities where most of the
buildings which are still standing have cracks and sags in them. No one
wants to return to their homes. Scores of provincial towns of 20,000 to
30,000 population were also flattened and apparantly the casuality figures
have not even begun to be tabulated from all of these sources. Milllions
of people are gridlocked and are threatened by starvation and thirst and
the international news media is erronously reporting that the government
has casualty esitmates and that they have more aid at the airports than
they need.
We can see how valuable the professional news media is going to be. What a
crock of crap. CNN is fully as incompetent as ABC. I think that if you
multiplied this by five times, striking New Dehli as well, you would not
find anybody in India nor in the international media who could tell you a
straight story. Under such circumstances, millions of people would begin
to die two weeks after the quakes from hunger and thirst.
This particular quake may best be thought of as a New Moon Earth Perihelion
double-whammy vortex quake on the X Wave low. We are going to be seeing
some triple whammies and even a sixfold vortex whammy later on this year.
