EARTH TO COLLIDE WITH NIBIRU ON JULY 21, 2012!.


NASA scientists have reportedly confirmed that the planet Nibiru will collide with Earth in July of this year.
The Nibiru collision with Earth in 2012 has been predicted for a long time, but astrophysicists, cosmologists and astronomers around the world have now come to a consensus that Earth will indeed collide with the planet, which lies just outside Pluto.
Nibiru, in Babylonian Astronomy translates to “Planet of Crossing” or “Point of Transition”, especially of rivers, i.e. river crossings or ferry-boats, a term of the highest point of the ecliptic, i.e. the point of summer solstice, and its associated constellation. The establishment of the Nibiru point is described in tablet 5 of the Enuma Elish. Its cuneiform sign was often a cross, or various winged disc. The Sumerian culture was located in the fertile lands between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, at the southern part of today’s Iraq.
As the highest point in the paths of the planets, Nibiru was considered the seat of the summus deus who pastures the stars like sheep, in Babylon identified with Marduk. This interpretation of Marduk as the ruler of the cosmos was identified as an early monotheist tendency in Babylonian religion by Alfred Jeremias.
Natural disasters are accelerating exponentially and astronomers believe that they are being caused by Nibiru coming closer and closer to Earth.

Secrets of the Moon

The Moon is Earth's only known natural satellite, the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System. It is the largest natural satellite of a planet in the Solar System relative to the size of its primary, having a quarter the diameter of Earth and 1⁄81 its mass. The Moon is the second densest satellite after Io, a satellite of Jupiter.

KATY PERRY NUDESUIT.


Katy Perry’s nudesuit is the hottest selling outfit for teen girls across America!
Katy Perry, wearing her nudesuit, performed her song ‘Wide Awake’ and won an award at the MuchMusic Video Awards (MMVA) 2012.
While accepting the award Katy Perry quickly realized her butt was showing through her outfit so she quickly hid it with her award.
Today:  her nudsuit is flying off the shelves.  Teen girls love it and want it.
In malls across America, over a hundred thousand sheer nudesuits were sold to teenage girls, and many of them were planning on wearing them to either their high school prom, high school graduation or both.
Some girls are even wearing the nudesuits to school.  Senior girls at Temecula High School in California all wore their sheer suits to school.  The Principal wanted to send them all home, but if he did – there would only be a handful of girls in the whole school.
“It was very uncomfortable for everyone (except the boys).  It looked like all the girls were naked,” said a source at the school.

VANCOUVER UFO.







A WWN reader spotted a UFO over the mountains of Vancouver this morning.
Zahid Jiwa, an alert WWN reader from Vancouver, was out this morning at approximately 8 am.  That’s when he took the above picture of what is clearly and definitively a UFO.
The mountains of Vancouver have long been a haven for UFOs.   Alien spaceships have found the Canadians friendly and welcoming.
Zahid quickly took out his cell phone camera and took the shot.  Since then  people in Canada have been, “freaking out.”
WWN contacted the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials.  They sent Dr. Banesh Bannerjee to Vancouver to investigate Zahid’s sighting and he has this report.
“This is, once again, an alien spaceship from Planet Zeeba,” said Bannerjee.  ”We have seen several Zeeban ships over the last month, doing recon of various cities.  We want to assure the Canadian citizens that the Zeebans are peaceful and are only here to help them.  They mean no harm.”
The Zeeban ships were seen over Vancouver in 2008 as well:
Dr. Bannerjee is going to meet with Zahid today and review all the photographs in his camera.  ”We think Zahid did a remarkable job of capturing a Zeeban ship and we are going to invite him to the U.N. to discuss it in person.”
Meanwhile, WWN and the U.N. are on the lookout for Gootan spaceships.  The Gootans are here to – destroy us.

ALIEN SPACESHIP FOUND IN BALTIC SEA.


SWEDEN –  An international team of oceanic experts have found an alien ship from Planet Gootan National on the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
The ship was abandoned, but experts from the U.N. Panel of Extraterrestrials told WWN that the Gootans were using the Baltic Sea as a base to spy on humans.
The U.N. dispatched a team of experts in Unidentified Submarine Objects (USOs) to the Baltic Sea accompanied by an elite Navy SEALS team.  The U.S. military has been conducting a vast underwater reconnaissance of Gootan activities, ever since the Gootans landed three large ships on Earth in November, 2011.
Some are saying the ship looks like the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars:
Reports so far indicate that there may be another 29 Gootan ships in oceans around the globe and the number appears to be increasing daily.
“The Gootan ships have been sighted by seamen and divers worldwide and the descriptions are amazingly similar,” said Dr. Simon Michaels, a marine biologist with high-level contacts in the Pentagon.
“The undersea vessels are about 300 feet long with two saucer-shaped appendages and they are extremely fast. They are capable of reaching great depths – but can also pass from the water straight up into the atmosphere and right in out to stellar space.
“Over the past three decades, we’ve had such sightings from time to time. But the vast increase in reports over the last few months confirms that we are dealing with a major alien invasion from Planet Gootan.”
The Gootan ship in the Baltic was found by a Swedish company named Ocean Explorer.  They found the ship using their sonar technology – and immediately reported it to extraterrestrial experts at the U.N.

How to Forgive Anyone—and Why Your Health Depends on It Read more: http://www.oprah.com/oprahs-lifeclass/How-to-Forgive-Others-Health-Benefits-of-Forgiveness-Fred-Luskin#ixzz1wnyDyQy2


Forgiveness
Photo: Levi Brown
Fred Luskin wants me to forgive my mother. And, while I'm at it, my father, my third-grade teacher, my passive-aggressive coworker, the woman who cut me off on the highway, and the guys in Washington who've made such a mess of things. Not for their sake, but for mine: Luskin is convinced I'll be less anxious, more upbeat, and healthier if I do.

After studying forgiveness for close to 20 years, he should know. A lean wolfhound of a man with a mop of bushy hair parted down the middle, Luskin holds a PhD in counseling and health psychology from Stanford University, where he is the cofounder and director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project. He's a pioneer in the burgeoning forgiveness field, and it appears he's onto something. Study after study has found that forgiving is good for the body as well as the soul. It can lower blood pressure and heart rate and reduce levels of depression, anxiety, and anger. People who forgive generally have more and better relationships with others, feel happier and more hopeful, and score higher on just about every measure of psychological well-being.

The trouble is, most of us don't know how to do it. There's no playbook for forgiveness, no manual for getting past betrayals, disappointments, and hurts. This is where Luskin comes in. He's the master of forgiveness how-to. He believes forgiveness is a trainable skill that everyone can—and should—learn.

And this is why, on a sunny Friday morning, I'm seated at a conference room table at the Ackerman Institute for the Family, a therapy-training facility on Manhattan's Upper East Side. A dozen other women are with me, mostly therapists looking to broaden their skills, though a few of us have come for personal reasons. My main motivation is a painful relationship with my mother, who has a history of erratic behavior and lashing out at me (and others). Despite my many efforts at reconciliation, we've been estranged for most of my adult life. I'm here to find out if forgiveness could change our dynamic.

Luskin, dressed in khakis and docksiders, looks like he's ready to sail down the Hudson, not lead a workshop. He has no laptop, no briefcase, no handouts or notes, not even a copy of his book, Forgive for Good. He slouches at the head of the table and talks in a low, patient voice, his hands occasionally smoothing his hair. He tells us that despite what we may have heard about forgiveness "journeys," there are really only two steps in the process: grieving and letting go. Grieving, after you have been wronged, means letting yourself feel the anger, hurt, and trauma in all its original pain—but not indefinitely. "After about two years, most people have had plenty of time to process," Luskin explains. "Then they're ready to move on."

Not moving on—hanging on to resentment and rage—is tantamount to having an existential tantrum, according to Luskin. "We think the world owes us," he says. "But it doesn't. Babies die when they're born. Women are raped. Whole ethnic groups are wiped out. There's no such thing as fair. The guy who loses a parking space to a more aggressive driver thinks, "I want that parking space." A mother whose child has been murdered thinks, "I want my child to be alive." Either way, that's sometimes just not how it works."

A ripple of shock runs through the room. How can anyone compare losing a parking space to losing a child? "It's better not to get caught up in content," Luskin says. By content he means each person's individual story, the source of her anger or hurt.

No matter what the offense, he continues, the process of forgiveness is the same: You let go of anger and hurt by being mindful and focusing on gratitude and kindness. Again, the ripple runs around the table. That's it? A little mindful meditation and all is forgiven? Luskin smiles wryly. "Forgiveness concepts are simple," he says. "It's the execution that's hard."

NASA CONFIRMS ALIEN INVASION!.


HOUSTON – NASA confirmed today that aliens are invading earth – and they are attacking us because of global warming!
WWN has been the ONLY media source reporting on the ongoing alien invasion.  WWN’s own Frank Lake has been the  top investigative reporter in the world on this issue.  Governments around the globe have been covering up the invasion in order to avoid worldwide panic.  But WWN feels we must report the truth, and if we take peaceful actions now – we can avoid a war with aliens.
As reported here many times, the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials has confirmed that aliens from Planet Zeeba began invading our planet – in large numbers – in October, 2011.  The U.N. Panel, led by Dr. John Malley, predicts that the invasion will last until December 2015 – at which time earth will be under full control of the aliens from Zeeba.  If we act now, we can co-exist peacefully with the aliens.
In a stunning announcement today, NASA confirmed Frank Lake’s reportage.  ”Aliens have been invading our planet in ever-increasing numbers,” warns a report from NASA.
The reason?
NASA says that rising greenhouse emissions may have tipped off aliens that we are a rapidly expanding threat. “Watching from afar, extraterrestrials have viewed changes in Earth’s atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilization out of control – and are taking drastic action to keep us from becoming a more serious threat,” NASA researchers explain.
Scientists at Pennsylvania State University predict that humans and aliens from Zeeba will make direct contact with each other by the end of 2012.
Jessica Wygal-Markum of NASA’s Planetary Science Division and her colleagues compiled a list of plausible outcomes that could unfold in the aftermath of a close encounter, to help humanity “prepare for actual contact”.
In the report, “When Humans Meet Zeebans,”  the researchers divide alien contacts into three broad categories: beneficial, neutral or harmful.
Beneficial encounters were productive and peaceful meetings held with extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI).  These meetings will help us advance our knowledge and solve global problems such as hunger, poverty and disease.
One of the scientists, Joyti Aggarwalla, thought another beneficial outcome would be humanity triumph over a more powerful alien aggressor, or even being saved by a second group of ETs – possibly from Mars. “In these scenarios, humanity benefits not only from the major moral victory of having defeated a daunting rival, but also from the opportunity to reverse-engineer ETI technology,” the authors write.
Other kinds of close encounters may be less rewarding and leave much of human society feeling indifferent towards aliens. The Zeebans may be too different from us for meaningful communication to take place.  They might invite humanity to join the “Galactic Club” only for us to find the entry requirements to be too bureaucratic and tedious for humans to bother with or the club mascot may have a foul odor or terrify  small children.
The most unappealing outcomes would arise if the aliens from Planet Zeeba caused harm to humanity.  While aliens may arrive to eat, enslave or attack us, the report adds that people might also suffer from being physically crushed or by contracting diseases carried by the visitors. In especially unfortunate incidents, humanity could be wiped out when a more advanced civilisation accidentally unleashes an unfriendly artificial intelligence, or performs a catastrophic physics experiment that renders a portion of the galaxy uninhabitable.
To bolster humanity’s chances of survival, the researchers call for caution in sending signals into space and to send Alien Search Teams across the planet – to peacefully attempt to connect with the aliens.
The authors of the NASA report warn that extraterrestrials may be wary of civilisations that expand very rapidly, as these may be prone to destroy other life as they grow, just as humans have pushed species to extinction on Earth. In the most extreme scenario, aliens might choose to destroy humanity to protect other civilizations.
Let’s hope that humanity makes the right choice and makes peaceful overtures to the aliens amongst us.  If not… well, our days are numbered.

SATURN IS A GIANT UFO!.

Three giant alien spaceships are again heading for Earth!  Scientists predict the new ships will arrive in November of  2012.
UFO encounters continue to increase – as documented on WWN.  And today scientists at SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), an independent non-commercial organization,  made a major announcement:
“Three giant spaceships are heading toward Earth. The largest one of them is 200 miles wide. Two others are slightly smaller. At present, the objects are just moving past Jupiter.  Judging by their speed, they should be on Earth by the fall of  2012,” said John Malley, the lead extraterrestrial expert at SETI.
Three similar giant ships landed in China and the Indonesia Sea in November, 2011.  They were identified as alien spaceships from Planet Gootan. Three more giant Gootan ships are headed her for November, 2012.
Read two of WWN’s many stories about the three Gootan ships landing in 2011:

THE STORY ABOUT THE LANDING OF THE THREE SHIPS IN NOVEMBER 2011

THE GOOTANS ARE HERE

The new Gootan spaceships have been detected by HAARP search system. The system, based in Alaska, was designed to study the phenomenon of northern lights. According to SETI researchers, the objects are extraterrestrial spaceships. They will be visible in optical telescopes as soon as they reach Mars’s orbit – sometime in  November of 2012. The US government has been reportedly informed about the event.
SETI researchers have spent fifty years monitoring space.  Dr. Malley said that they have conclusively proven that “we are just newcomers in this huge and unexplored world. Many believe that there are many other civilizations in space besides our own civilization.”
Wikileaks recently released many classified documents that prove that NASA and high-level U.S. official are aware of the three spaceships and are making plans to battle the spaceships.  They have been concealing information from the U.S. public for decades. Wikileaks also confirms that the UFO sightings over the last three months prove that the alien invasions (long predicted by SETI) has begun. The three spaceships will mark the official beginning of the alien invasion.
Malley said that a Chinese official, Mao Kan, had obtained over than 1,000 secret NASA photographs depicting not only human footprints, but even a human carcass on the surface of the Moon. Some of the bones in the carcass were missing, the official said. The human corpse must have been dropped on the Moon from an alien spaceship, whereas the extraterrestrials kept some tissue samples for research.
Dr. Ken Johnston, former Manager of the Data and Photo Control Department at NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory, said that US astronauts had found and photographed ancient ruins of artificial origin on the Moon.  US astronauts had seen large unknown mechanisms on the Moon.
Both Johnston and Mao Kan agree that three more Gootan spaceships are heading for Earth.
Beginning in August of 2012 the U.N. will begin preparing citizens of the world for the second attack of the three Gootan spaceships and a subsequent alien attack, which they predict will be “a large-scale assault.

Airbus accuses Smith of lying about Defence tender Read more: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/airbus-accuses-smith-of-lying-about-defence-tender-20120511-1yhfs.html#ixzz1udhjjOOh.

A major Defence contractor has accused Defence Minister, Stephen Smith, of failing to tell the truth when he said there had been a competition to choose Australia's next battlefield airlifter. "Airbus Military is obliged to place on the public record our disappointment at the Minister's choice of words," a spokesman said. "There was no tender process and certainly no competition." Mr Smith, responding to a specific question at a press conference yesterday, said there had been a competition between Airbus Military's C295 and the Alenia C-27J. "We down-selected the C27J," he said. Advertisement: Story continues below "Whenever a choice is made between competitors, there is always someone who's pleased with the outcome and someone who's disappointed. We've done the due diligence and we've come to the conclusion that the C-27 was the preferred choice for us." Airbus Military says due diligence was lacking and that Defence is spending three times as much money for planes that can't be delivered before 2015. "Defence seems to have rejected its own tried, tested and proven process of evaluating competing platforms," the spokesman said. "Selection of the C-27J for $1.4 billion appears to have been based largely on the RAAFs own desktop assessments. This effort falls short of a full evaluation process." Airbus said it could have had planes ready for delivery in six months - not three years - and that they would have cost a third of what is going to paid for the C-27J. "Despite Airbus Military expending considerable resources responding to inquiries and requests for rudimentary information we are concerned the outcome may have been predetermined from the start. An industry insider said there had been plenty of time to conduct a rigorous and formal competition between the two planes - the Rudd Government retired the Caribous, which the new aircraft will replace, in 2009 and the ADF has been having to make do in the meantime. "The Minister says 10 C27Js will cost $1.4 billion - isn't that close to or even more than what you would pay for a JSF," he said. "My understanding is nine of the 10 Australian aircraft are ones the US (which has mothballed its C-27J fleet) is no longer taking. I believe the US price was around $30 million or $31 million a unit (roughly the same as the C295). Why are they costing us so much?" The Canberra Times has sought comment from Mr Smith's office on the Airbus Military claims.

14 Tips for Great Solo Travel.

Solo travel doesn't have to be intimidating, if you know how to navigate.
Are you filled with wanderlust, but sticking close to home because you lack a like-minded companion? Solo travel is an extraordinary, accessible opportunity that can involve big or small adventures, easy or difficult as you choose.

You can do what you want, when you want, how you want, where you want. You pick your own pace, budget, itinerary and can always change your mind on a whim, never having to negotiate. The experience can be liberating and thrilling, igniting a rewarding sense of accomplishment, and the detachment from your "real" life is often therapeutic.

Bing Travel Slide Show: Weirdest Foods You'll Ever Eat on Vacation

When entering a new place on your own, you may notice more than you do when you travel with others. I strike up conversations more easily when I'm solo, something I've done in dozens of countries across six continents. But not all destinations are right for solo travelers.

Here are some tips.

1) Visit walkable destinations connected by trains, buses, ferries and flights. Getting around this way will be straightforward, prices will be per person, and you increase your odds of meeting others, unlike destinations best seen or reached by car, where there may be fewer interactions. I've found places outside the U.S. and Caribbean are sometimes more friendly to individuals, with reduced-fare single-person rooms. Youth hostels are great for 20somethings and travelers of any age on tight budgets who crave conversation and don't need upscale accommodations.

2) Traveling offseason can save a lot of money. One year in October, it was cheaper for me to spend a week in Costa Rica than to visit the Adirondacks in upstate New York. The off-peak flight, local transport and single accommodation in Costa Rica was less than the car rental and pricier double rooms during fall foliage season here.

3)  If you can't fly nonstop, turn your stopovers into perks. I've visited Fiji, Iceland, London, Paris and Rome, at no extra cost, all on extended layovers.

4)  Ask others about their vacations to get ideas for your own trips, and read up online and in guidebooks. Publishers can vary tremendously so look at a variety of brands in a bookstore or library, then travel with a guidebook that best suits your priorities.

5)  Keep expectations to a minimum so you're not disappointed. Instead, be flexible, go with the flow and treasure the unexpected. I've stumbled upon some amazing hidden gems. Bedouins invited me for tea in the caves of Petra, and a Portuguese model in Lisbon declared his affection for me by saying it was "love at first look."

6)  Be prepared for the occasional bad day. I've been tired, cranky, lonely and frustrated, suffering from food poisoning and stressed out by emergency landings, 14-hour flight delays, altercations with customs officials, bad weather and other complications. But temporary misery is part of travel, and can help you enjoy the magnificent moments that much more. And sometimes the worst experiences generate great stories later on.
9) Be respectful, inconspicuous and dress to blend in. Local fashion norms vary, but I typically wear jeans with subdued colors, dark shoes and subtle accessories so as not to attract undue attention.
10) English has become the world's second language, but learning to say hello and thank you in the local tongue goes a long way.

11) Be cautious but not paranoid. If there's a site that piques your interest, but it's out of the way or you have concerns about personal safety, take a day tour or hire a guide.

12) Independent female travelers may face harassment and other dangers, while men traveling alone may be targeted by scam artists and touts peddling illicit activities.

13) Ignoring verbal aggressors — whether beggars, vendors or passers-by — is frequently the best defense, although in some cultures, like the markets in Istanbul, a simple "no, thank you" works better. Intimidation and harassment are never fun; feel empowered by your ability to say no.

14) Check guidebooks and consult with local tourist offices and hotel staff for advice on what to watch out for. Take special care after dark, in dense crowds, and with likable strangers. The freedom of being far from home can release inhibitions in wonderful ways. In fact, I try to do something new every trip. But if you feel as though you're taking a risk, have an exit strategy, inform the hotel staff of your whereabouts, or make sure you're in a place where you can shout out to others.

Gratifying solo travel comes from following your bliss. Don't let societal pressures rattle you. Don't let loneliness paralyze you. Educate yourself so you know what you can, and cannot, do. Most of all, embrace the exciting possibilities before you.

Stranded Air Australia passengers arrive in Sydney on Qantas flight

At the airport tonight, some said they had worried about their young children left at home. Others feared a medical emergency if they ran out of medicine. All who spoke to AAP agreed they were lucky to have touched down on Australian soil. About 4000 Australia-bound passengers were stranded throughout Asia and the Pacific after Air Australia was placed into voluntary administration yesterday. John Moran is insulin dependent and said if he had not got back to Australia quickly he could have been hospitalised. "I only had about two shots (of insulin) left. Luckily we got on the Qantas flight." Mr Moran and his wife, Gale, spent nine hours on the phone and forked out $1,000 to get home to Melbourne. "Lucky we had the Visa card," Ms Moran said. Another holiday maker who managed to get onto the Qantas flight, Sandra Russell, was in a hurry to get back to Brisbane to see her two children, aged 4 and 6, who were left at home with friends. "There were a few tears last night on the phone when we weren't coming home," she said. "They're really little so they were missing us." Ms Russell and her friend Paula Morris were holidaying in Honolulu with 16 other people, eight of whom were children. "We were at the airport all day yesterday, from 6.30am until nine last night," she said. Ms Russell said stranded passengers were receiving assistance at Honolulu Airport. "The Australian consulate were there and they were absolutely fantastic," she said. Ms Morris said Qantas had matched the price of their Air Australia flights but their insurance company was not going to cover the extra cost. "You get travel insurance to protect you and now we're all having to have fork out this extra money. At the end of a holiday it's really hard," Ms Morris said. "It's like lighting a match to some money and seeing it go up in smoke," Ms Russell said. "At least we got our holiday."
