My new site is up and running. It is just a starting effort. It will be evolving and expanding. Please take time to check it out. Also, your feedback is welcome. Don't hestitate to tell me what you think of it.
The Shift Is In-Process
REVEALED: ANTARCTIC ICE GROWING, NOT SHRINKING
On April 18, 2009, the news agency “The Australian” published an article; byline Greg Roberts that had the above title. The full article can be found at http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25349683-11949,00.html. Its importance is literally groundbreaking. Two major issues arise when reading this news release.
First: How, during these times of perceived global warming, can this be happening? The conflicting cooling and warming arguments show just how hard it is to understand Earth’s natural climate changes. An excerpt from “Exploring Complexity: An Introduction”, 1989 by Gregoire Nicolis and Ilya Prigogine sums it up nicely. It reads:

First: How, during these times of perceived global warming, can this be happening? The conflicting cooling and warming arguments show just how hard it is to understand Earth’s natural climate changes. An excerpt from “Exploring Complexity: An Introduction”, 1989 by Gregoire Nicolis and Ilya Prigogine sums it up nicely. It reads:
“In the northern hemisphere at the peak of the last major glaciations, 18,000 years ago, a continental ice layer several kilometers thick covered much of northern America, down to the middle part of the United States, as well as much of northern and western Europe, to the latitude of Paris and Berlin. In the present-day situation, continental ice is confined essentially to Greenland. Furthermore, it is known that, as far as continental ice extent is concerned, the present situation was essentially established 10,000 years ago. In other words, we are forced to conclude that the planet Earth, a physical system, has in a few years (a short time on a geological scale) undergone a transition between two extraordinary different states whose difference extends over the dimension of the Earth itself.
The above remarks suggest that any reasonable model of the climatic system should be able to account for the possibility of such large-scale transitions.”
While many that follow differing theories may automatically dismiss this excerpt for reasons as simple as the length of time periods addressed, the point about climatic complexity cannot be argued. One plus one does not always equal two with regard to Earth Changes. However, a climatic system that addresses the complexity based on the salinity of the world’s oceans has been addressed in the book “Are We Worth Our Salt?” by Arthur Ryan. After reading this book, it should be easy to understand ice building during warming periods. This book is available on Amazon and at Lulu.com.
The second issue deals with the Crust Shift theory. The greatest scientific mind of modern time said:
"In a polar region there is a continual deposition of ice, which is not symmetrically distributed about the pole. The earth's rotation acts on these asymmetrically deposited masses [of ice], and produces centrifugal momentum that is transmitted to the rigid crust of the earth. The constantly increasing centrifugal momentum produced in this way
will, when it has reached a certain point, produce a movement of the earth's crust over the rest of the earth's body, and this will displace the polar regions toward the equator."
will, when it has reached a certain point, produce a movement of the earth's crust over the rest of the earth's body, and this will displace the polar regions toward the equator."
Albert Einstein From The Path of the Pole by Charles Hapgood
Art Ryan’s book was written to provide a process that explains how this would happen. Now, Dr. Ian Allison, Head of the Galciology Program at the Australian Antarctic Division has found that in fact “it” is happening. Dr. Allison basically said that the ice carving off in west Antarctica while growing in the east. This compounds the problem addressed by Einstein.
View the above picture and remember that the area displayed on the left, where the ice shelves are displayed is the west of Antarctica. This corresponds with its proximity to the portion of the Earth known as “the west”. Specifically, the Americas. As a result, that portion shown on the right side is considered the east of Antarctica. Therefore, you can see the areas of losses and gains with regard to ice.
Now, notice the position of the South Pole. This is the rotational pole and no the magnetic pole. It is at that point that the Earth rotates. Crust Shift supporters have already identified the major problem. For those of us that are new to the theory, I will say that a simple physical law of centrifugal force that Einstein addressed is enhanced by the growing state of unbalance. As the ice builds on one side (if you will) of the South Pole and reduces on the other the state of “out of balance” increases.
If you drive a car that needs its wheels balanced, the car bounces. If, you balance the wheels incorrectly and add weight to the heavy side, the bouncing becomes worse. Continue this process and eventually you will crash.
It appears that the Earth is moving towards its crash. A crash that many of us will find extremely hard to survive.

"DAKOTA" The Dino with Skin
O.K. Science Fans, explain the process that took place to preserve the skin on a dinosaur.
It is hard enough to explain how fossils are created. I mean an explanation that is viable. Now science is faced with fossilized skin. Oxidation and predators make fossil creation one of earth's mysteries.
Without doubt - to save the skin for us to find, this dinosaur had to be desiccated. That would involve salt and alot of it. Easy said. But, how did it happen?
My book "Are We Worth Our Salt?" will provide for you the mechanical process required and show verifiable evidence that salt is really the key to Earth's Changes - Past and Future.

EXCERPT FROM "ARE WE WORTH OUR SALT?"
The Creation of Fossils
Defeating Erosion
The creation of fossils is a question that is often ignored by the sciences. Finding them and applying an age to them is common. Yet, we fail to ask how was this made, especially, when the fossil is on the surface of this planet like the ancient foot prints found around rivers and streams. How can a foot print in the sand or muck withstand the flow of water?
We have all built sand castles and without noticing formed foot prints in the sand at beaches all around this planet. These structures and impressions have always been temporary. Even when the waves and tides don’t erase our marks on the earth; rain does, not to mention the effects of wind. None of us has left an everlasting signature. Erosion works!!
When it comes to bones and other organic material, placement in an oxygen free environment is required in order to leave an eternal impression. Now we have to find the right conditions that would facilitate fossilization.
The remains of an animal killed by a moving automobile will be picked apart by scavengers and any leftovers will rot and decompose into nothingness. Even bodies placed in caskets and vaults after embalming will decompose and return to mother earth. Eventually, even the vault and the casket will oxidize. The mummies that have been found are not examples of defeating oxidation - they are only proof that the process can be slowed down. This is proven by the fragile state of these mummies now located in museums all over the world. Upon exposure to the surface of the planet, they become susceptible to the very elements that those who performed the mummification were trying to avoid.
Even if mummification could stop oxidation, we would be even more perplexed by the thought that someone or something would have had to perform this process on thousands of bones that have been uncovered. I doubt that there was a society that disemboweled and/or embalmed dinosaurs, so that they would leave a legacy that lasted eons.
Other organics, such as leaves, grasses, and woods would also not survive ages to be found today. Decomposition happens. Today, we create compositing contraptions in our yards to deal with this type of debris. Nothing magical occurs in a compost pile. Many call it - rotting. Basically the material is oxidizing. As it breaks down, it turns into a material similar to dirt that we use in gardens and flower beds to feed nutrients to our beloved plants.
Just add oxygen to these organic materials and oxidation (rot, decomposition) will take place. That is why we periodically turn the material over with a shovel. Which means - if oxygen is present, the process will take place. Can anyone think of and defend a way in nature that oxygen can be totally removed from anything?
The sea, mud, and muck also do not totally remove oxygen from those items that will become fossils. After all, muck is the process in action. Materials gathered together and decomposing are the ingredients of muck.
Proof of this oxidation in a low oxygen environment is exampled by the USS Arizona in Honolulu Harbor. This memorial submerged in the water is oxidizing. It is slowly wasting away. While it is at a slower rate than it would be if it were above the water, it is still succumbing to the process. Mud and muck would probably make the change slow to a crawl; however, it would not stop.
So, how can the fact that the fossils exist be explained?
What process in nature could happen that would preserve any organic material long enough for debris to build up on top of it until the weight creates enough pressure to form a fossil?
One answer is volcanic ash cover. A complete burying of materials under this ash could explain the number of fossils found. Yet this causes one to wonder about the conditions required that would create global fossilization within the same strata layer. What would cause volcanoes to erupt all around the earth at the same time?
Another answer of the same type could be the covering of the bones by debris returning to the earth following a meteor impact. This would adequately accomplish the protection from oxygen. How many times has this event happened to the extent that would cover the entire globe and create the innumerable strata layers?
The only other answer can be found in any modern kitchen. It is simple - we rely on it most every day: Freezing. In our freezers, we find numerous examples of items that are defying oxidation. As long as a roast is frozen, it will remain and exist. The same would happen to any organic matter placed in the freezer. While freezer-burn may cause us to throw the roast away, it won’t allow the oxidation process to continue. If it’s frozen, organic matter will not oxidize. Plus, scavengers will not eat frozen meat.
If some organic item - say a dinosaur - becomes frozen and drops in its tracks, it will remain untouched by scavengers and defy oxidation. Subject to a continual frozen state - this same dinosaur will eventually be covered by all manner of materials through erosion deposits, space/sky dust accumulation, lava and the like. Over many years of this build up, the weight will increase. As the pressure builds from this weight, the process of fossilization begins.
Granted, as the pressure goes up, so will the temperature; however, by then the oxidation process has been slowed so much that fossilization takes place before the dinosaur bones rot away. Thus, a fossil exists for a future generations to find.
A flash freeze fossil creation method is really the only one that I think could protect foot prints in sand long enough to be made into fossils. The other methods would actually fill the prints and subsequently prevent their being found on the surface of the earth.
The explanation of how this freezing would take place will be addressed in another chapter. The global covering by volcanic ash will become obvious later, when events that would cause the vast amounts of lava to reach the surface will be discussed. The meteor impact theory is not covered herein because the event probably happened a few times throughout earth’s history; but, I doubt it happened once for every strata layer we have.
Fossil creation is an important piece of the puzzle. Their existence begs to be explained. The explanations cause greater questions. The questions lead to theories. The theories point to cataclysms. All of this warrants our attention.
