When we turn our focus towards the Sun, we find similar anomalous increases in overall energetic activity. A team at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford, led by Dr. Mike Lockwood, has discovered that in the last century, the overall strength of the Sun’s magnetic field has more than

doubled, becoming 230 percent stronger than it was in 1901. [20] Even more interestingly, this rate of magnetic field growth is continually increasing in speed.

Dr. Alexey Dmitriev reports that:

As a whole, all of the reporting and observation facilities give evidence to a growth in the velocity, quality, quantity and energetic power of our Solar System’s heliospheric properties. [emphasis added]

And let’s remember that the heliosphere is the magnetic field that emanates from the Sun, surrounding our Solar System and beyond.

Every 11 years there is a major increase in the amount of Solar activity, and we have again hit this solar maximum in the period of 2000-2002. In Figure 8.11, which is tinted green for contrast, the difference between the solar minimum of 1996 and the maximum of 1999 is quite obvious. Furthermore, this current solar maximum has defeated all predictions for when it would end; it continues to show high levels of activity in summer of 2002, though it was originally expected to peak in 2000 and rapidly decline.

During the previous solar maximum in 1989, a very powerful X-ray flare on March 5th led to the Sun emitting a stream of high-energy protons, which flowed to the Earth continuously until March 13th. As reported by Chatelain and Gilbert in The Mayan Prophecies, this event caused the Earth’s magnetic poles to deviate by a whopping eight degrees in only a few hours, which was the most substantial sudden change in Earth’s magnetic field since 1952. This event also caused serious disruption of communications systems, created intense aurora borealis phenomena and completely collapsed the Canadian power grid, with more than a million people losing their electricity for several days.

Furthermore, Dr. Aleskey Dmitriev has correlated intense solar emissions with Earth phenomena including severe weather such as hurricanes and tornadoes, earthquake activity and volcanic activity on Earth. This same information has been rigorously documented by Richard Pasichnyk in The Vital Vastness book series and his Living Cosmos website. [31] Again, this “action-at-a-distance” is caused by torsion radiation, whose effects were scientifically proven by Dr. N.A. Kozyrev and others, as discussed starting in the first chapter of this book.

To everyone’s surprise, the Sun had lost all signs of its normal magnetic field; there was no north pole, no south pole, just a field of constant intensity over the entire surface. No one could begin to explain this and as Dr. Dmitriev states, this “drastically changed the general model of heliomagnetism, and further complicated the magnetologists’ analytic presentations.”

Arguably the ultimate energy release from our Sun comes from what are known as coronal mass ejections. In these cases, the entire Sun releases a super-flash of energy over much of its surface simultaneously, which travels out into space as a halo-like expanding bubble that can contain up to ten billion tons of electrified gas. [28] Not surprisingly, Dr. Dmitriev explains that with each passing year, these super-flashes are actually traveling faster through space than ever before! This is the same reason as why you can swim faster in water than molasses; interplanetary space has become a better conductor. This shows us another consequence of our heliosphere’s

movement into an area of higher aetheric energy density.

So, on November 6, 1997 there was a huge coronal mass ejection rated at a tremendous X level of 9.1, which NASA labels as being, quote, “severe.” For 72 hours, the Earth was charged with highly energetic protons. The

conventional models had predicted only one severe event for 1997 when in fact there were three, which shows a 300-percent increase. And as Figure 8.12 shows, the severity of this event in November 1997 was later outstripped

by an even greater intensity of events in April through May of 1998.

Even more recently, from May 10th through 13th of 2000, the energy and dust streaming out of the Sun known as the “Solar Wind” abruptly shut off, causing NASA to announce that this was, quote, “the most drastic and longest-lasting decrease” ever observed. [25] This created huge auroras on Earth and caused the magnetic field to swell to between 500 and 600 percent of its normal size. Many international satellites confirmed that this was the single largest expansion of the Earth’s magnetic field they had ever witnessed. The graphic on the left shows the Earth’s magnetic field in a more compressed and energetic state, whereas the graphic on the right shows a more relaxed state that allowed the expansion to occur. The blue end of the spectrum shows a higher degree of magnetic energy charge than the red.

Then, on July 14, 2000, a massive solar flare shot directly at the Earth. Protons from the Sun came to us in only fifteen minutes, which NASA indicated as being one of the fastest traveling speeds ever seen. [26] The speed of pure light itself is only less than twice as fast as this, at 8 minutes travel time from the Sun to the Earth. Normally, energetic protons are not thought to travel this close to the observable speed of light. After this flare, a coronal mass ejection was released that traveled fully 200 percent faster than conventional models expected. A variety of satellites and equipment were either disabled or shut down completely, including the Japanese “Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics,” which was so damaged that it was actually sent reeling blindly in its orbit.

On Nov. 8, 2000, a massive flare was soon followed by a coronal mass ejection that created one of the most intense radiation storms in decades.

[27] The shock wave hit the Earth in only 31 hours, arriving on Nov. 10, which is easily twice as fast as NASA scientists had expected. As we can see in Figure 8.13, the speed of the solar wind surged from 600 to nearly 1000 kilometers per second as the shockwave passed, and the amount of high- energy protons that were measured around the earth at this time spiked to a level that was fully 100 thousand times greater than normal. Both the SOHO and Stardust satellites were not built to withstand such an impact, and were rendered blind by the surge in radiation, which made them incapable of “seeing” the stars they normally use for orientation. [27]

In the second week of February 2001, the Sun was still quite active, continually bombarding the Earth with particles. At this time, NASA first

reported that the Sun’s magnetic poles were in the process of reversing, as is normally expected at the end of every eleven-year solar cycle. As this

reversal began, the energy streaming into the Earth was again suddenly increased, causing a number of very serious, very high magnitude earthquakes. Most conventional scientists are still refusing to make such obvious connections.

Between January 12 and 25, we saw a 6.9 earthquake on the coast of Alaska, a 7.6 earthquake in El Salvador [13],and a 7.9 earthquake in Gujarat, India. [14] Then on Feb. 28, a 7.0 quake struck Seattle, Washington, and the HAARP program’s fluxgate magnetometer measured a sudden dip in the Earth’s magnetic field strength from zero to –200 gamma as this earthquake

occurred. This shows how the pressure on the Earth’s luminous plasma core caused it to temporarily eject a great burst of its energy to create the Seattle earthquake. As the Earth released this sudden charge, there was a

momentary, major dip in the strength of its magnetic field, since the energy had been released. This energy deficit was quickly replaced by the

instreaming pressures of solar torsion-field radiation, but the clear signature of this event is visible in the magnetometer data.

Conventional theories believed that the Sun would become calmer once the poles reversed, since this is what had always happened before. Yet, the solar magnetic field steadily increased from March 18th to 27th of 2001, with a very large solar flare then erupting on the 29th. This event was followed by an Earth-directed CME that created significant aurora borealis as it hit.

Then, soon afterward on April 2, 2001, solar flare number 9393 broke all records for brightness and strength, weighing in at the unheard-of X-class of 22; the measurement scale had previously only been designed to go to a frightful maximum of 20. This flare was considered the largest of its kind ever observed for at least 25 years, earning it the new name of “mega-flare.” [43] Two consecutive coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, were then released on April 10. The first CME traveled more slowly than the second one, and this was named a “cannibal CME”, since the first CME was consumed by the faster- moving second one.

Fortunately, the X-22 level of radiation from flare number 9393 did not

directly impact the earth, as it was nearly three times more powerful than the March 1989 event, which deviated the Earth’s magnetic field by eight degrees and totally shut down Canada’s power grid. A burst nearly three times larger than this could literally disable the entire half of the earth that it hit.

Again, two CMEs were released on April 10, 2001. Then, on April 11th, a rash of severe tornadoes, some a quarter of a mile wide, ripped through the Midwestern United States, affecting Kansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska. Furthermore, a 5.7 earthquake occurred in Indonesia on April 7, a 5.9 earthquake on April 13 that destroyed 30,000 homes in China, and a 6.5 on April 15 off the coast of Japan. Most scientists would not be willing to acknowledge the connection between the solar activity and events such as severe weather and earthquakes, but again we see how the energy

phenomena are related. All these events clustered around the surge in solar activity of April 10th.

And since this time, right through to the present, the solar activity has not backed off, creating untold problems for the NASA scientists and far more CMEs than were ever thought possible in previous models. This is not being covered up or hidden by NASA or other space agencies; it is simply not given very much attention in the media. So, in short, this most recent solar

maximum cycle has been so unusually energetic that George Withbroe, Science Director for NASA's Sun-Earth Connection Program issued a

statement saying that, quote, “This is a unique solar maximum in history. The images and data are beyond the wildest expectations of the astronomers of a generation ago." [41]
