Recent Tornadoes Spur Strategies for Improving Disaster Prep

We can demand that the Congress of the United States gear up and at least pass an Disaster Preparation Enhancement Act.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Our country is clearly vulnerable to havoc. Those recent tornadoes that spun across the South, wiping out over 200 innocent lives and millions of dollars in structural damage certainly drives home that point.

Hibernate not--it's a powerful wake-up call!

Stellar Slowdown: Stubborn Scientists Ignore Einstein`s Rule on Empiricism

Scientific community's dependence on empirical data halts promising theories; slows advancement of space comprehension.

Saturn`s Rings

Regardless of the scientific community's inability to latch on, there are very simple explanations to assimilate these bizarre features.

(SAN DIEGO) - In a January 2010 television program titled “Essence in Science”, Dr. Robert Granetz created a wave in a ribbon of glowing plasma while demonstrating how a magnetic field contains the plasma in their nuclear fusion reactor experiments.

Then he showed a glowing fluorescent tube and said this was an example of plasma conducting electromagnetism.

Aurora Borealis & Magnetic Storms in an Accelerating, Expanding Universe

Scientists have considered magnetic fields as a dirty word and have almost completely ignored it until lat summer, while I have been trying to apprise them of its importance for over three decades.

(SAN DIEGO ) - For over 30 years scientists kept telling me that comparing electricity and magnetism is like comparing apples and oranges and that the magnetic fields of planets are so weak they are totally irrelevant.

There is a very simple explanation for this acceleration of the expansion of the universe.

Rain will fall in buckets across northern and central California today, while AccuWeather.com meteorologists are watching two other systems on the horizon.

Magnetic Pole Shift May Drive Animals and Humans Mad

Mass animal deaths may be the early symptoms of this encroaching electrical brain disruption caused by the magnetic pole shift.

(CHICAGO) - Scientific research suggests the Earth's changing magnetic field may cause otherwise peaceful animals to become enraged killers banding together in voracious indiscriminate attacks and killing both terrified humans and each other.

Imagine for a moment a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's classic horror movie "The Birds": townspeople are inexplicably attacked by the creatures. Darting and screeching, once docile birds swoop and soar, purposefully striking from the skies to maim and kill.
