So wealthy people are not buying secret fallout shelters in mountains on or before 2012?
He’s pure left wing trash. Even self described conspiracy theorist Rolleye James stopped having him on her show because he’s psychotic. The last time he was on her show he threw a screaming fit about how much better Mexico is than America and all the violence there is a pure media fabrication.
All I remember about that movie is my husband standing in an aisle at Blockbuster complaining about how lame the entire premise was. All I came away with was the science was really bad, or perhaps impossible. My hubby normally likes SciFi, but this one was too ridiculous for him to even attempt to watch.
I watched CORE last night.
Methinks you have the bird scene somewhat mixed up.
Per the plot (weak as it was), the birds were not dropping out of the sky.
Due to disruptions to the magnetic field around the earth, the pigeons in Trafalgar Square lost their natural navigation capabilities (which in real life nature is basd on the magnetic field) and were randomly flying into buildings and other structures. That is how they died. Not just dropping dead out of the sky.
So, please take off your tin-foil hat and forget any correlation between a weak movie plot and real life bird die-offs. . . . . . .
You will sleep better at night.
Ya, I did, I love cheesy sci-fi (sci-fy). Nothing like setting off a bunch of nukes like they’re M-80’s. However, I did feel a great sense of relief when the core starting going round and round again, wonder what type of machine could see the earth’s core like that? All thoughts to ponder between now and next weekends cheesy sci-fi. I really do like them, giant wasps, gaters, all that stuff, fun to watch ...
They kept showing the huge gator one with the models in bikinis by a water fall for months on end LOL
I’ve always liked Sci Fi written by guys like Robert L Forward. He was an actual physicist and tried to insert a lot of plausibility into his books.
Yeah he has a fetish about Mexico because his wife went there for medical treatment.
As for Forward...I have only read Rocheworld, which was great stuff. Still have a copy.

You must love the SyFi channel. Tried to watch Battle for Los Angeles (titled similar to the major motion picture). Poor casting, horrible dialog, terrible special effects, scenes ripped off from “Independence Day”. Turned it off after 20 minutes. Un-watchable.
Forward was a capitalist who hated greenies.
The first two sentences of Saturn Rukh are, “I’ve got a job for you. Pays a billion.”
The best part of The Core was Rat(the hacker) asking for Hot Pockets. “They help me concentrate.”
I tried hard to watch that. I love a good scifi movie, and I'll forgive mountains of "and then a miracle happened," or budget constraints on props, but only if the plot and acting are decent, and if the humans react to things in the way that humans do... but SciFi channel's Battle for LA was hideous. I was actually embarrassed for the entire genre, hearkening to times I've gotten my wife to watch some scifi with me, only to find that I'm left trying to defend the indefensibly bad. BFLA was that bad. And not only was the science bad, and the special effects (particularly the F16's and the propane-fart explosions), and the casting, and acting, and directing... but there where characters in the movie towards which I felt a gigantic desire to b****slap, and yet I knew that those characters represented the self-image of the morons that wrote the stupid thing, and that they'd be portrayed as the heroes rather than get the alien atomic probe that they deserved.
BFLA may not be the worst scifi movie ever made, but I've never seen worse.
The reason I'm asking the question is that conspiracy theorists seem to have a really bad grasp on proportion. For example, there was a zot thread here this weekend where the zottee was claiming the seismograph patterns of the Japanese earthquake were consistent with undersea nuke detonations and not a real quake. What he didn't realize is that the energy released by a quake makes even our biggest bombs look like a firecracker.
So, if the Air Force has an atmospheric research facility that is affecting the core of the Earth, there must be some serious power output there. Got any numbers?
BTW, I know how much power they're transmitting. Took me less than a minute to find it. If you can't find it, I'll tell you...you will be amazed.

I have no idea.
However, money does not guarantee sense.
Many prominent and wealthy Hollywood types believe that 75 million years ago a galactic tyrant named Xenu froze billions of his subjects, flew them to Earth in spaceplanes that looked exactly like Douglas DC-8's...and their souls inhabit our planet to this day. In fact, if you injected Tom Cruise with some truth serum, he'd tell you you're basically one of these aliens.
Doubt me? L. Ron Hubbard says I'm right.
In the early Seventies, the word was passed down from the Watchtower organization in New York to Jehovah's Witnesses all over the world that Christ would be coming back in a year or two...IIRC, the predicted year was 1974 or 1975. Many Witnesses sold their life insurance policies, sold almost all worldy possessions, etc., so they could have money to fuel their evangelism activities. There were cases where families were left bankrupt because the bread winner died suddenly without life insurance. As you may have noticed, Jesus did not come back. The Watchtower folks denied that this was what they had meant when they said Jesus was coming back in 1975. Those who thought different were told to get in line or take a hike.
So, there could be plenty of folks buying those shelters. Or it could be that Ventura is lying to you like he lied to you about that burial liner company and the 9/11 attacks.
Of course, one wonders why all those wealthy people never bothered to read this:
Despite the publicity generated by the 2012 date, Susan Milbrath, curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, stated that "We have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end" in 2012.[31] "For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Florida. To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday event or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."[31] "There will be another cycle," says E. Wyllys Andrews V, director of the Tulane University Middle American Research Institute (MARI). "We know the Maya thought there was one before this, and that implies they were comfortable with the idea of another one after this."[32]

Of course, some folks might be listening to some New Age guru and think they're getting special instructions on the space radio, and not care what actual experts on the Mayans and their calendar have to say. The good news is, you're smarter than that, and you have facts now.
BTW, did the fact that the bird and fish deaths are completely natural even give you pause?
Who was the author of that broad statement? The same thing was said early on about bees dying off (colony collapse) by many media sensationalists. They were sure it was Globull Warming or pesticides, but it's turned out to be a combination of fungal and viral distress. Interesting how the media spends weeks drumming up hysteria on events like this, then when a totally plausible explanation is found they walk away like a house cat that just turned over a potted plant. Pardon me if I choose to not participate in the hysteria.
So no one should be alarmed of radioactive fallout from Japan in your opinion?
Probably no reason for alarm here given the distance. See the size of the atmosphere and the distance to Japan from the USA for details.
Severe cold and bad weather almost certainly killed the birds. When migrating South for the winter, birds are under extreme stress and can die due from exhaustion, hypothermia, and depletion of fat reserves.
I don't know exactly, but I hear it plays in the heavens.
