Question.. what part does religion have to play in the overall concept? John, I'm glad you asked. First, I'd like to answer another question I received: <..so are you holding through the next 3 weeks...?> Yes, I am. I really enjoy roller coasters, so if we zoom down to 8222 by 21 July as guaranteed, it will be a lot of fun. We'll zoom back up the other side, sooner rather than later. The stock market roller coaster is sort of upside down in that it goes ever higher rather than ever lower as a regular roller coaster does. That's because money is continually printed so each dollar buys less as time goes by [The New Paradigm effect excluded]. Also because humans are energy adders unlike gravity which is an energy gobbler. Notice John that there is not a missing 1 in 8222. I'm informed <...NASA just cancelled our experimental landing attempt upon said Comet.....feeling the squeeze they said.....Sir Edmond Halley came to believe that the Noah event was a comet strike.....the old boy had time to plan for his move to higher ground.......my view is the thing landed in the ice field...this strike ended the last ice age.......and brought sea levels up 350+ ft in 40 days and 40 nights....So my question is....If the Antarctic ice pack does a quick tumble as some researchers fear and the sea levels rise an additional 20-30 ft overnight...will the water logged economies of the industrial world stay afloat? > The Antarctic won't cause a sea level rise of 10m overnight. It will take years. Since DCFs do their work in 10 years these days, with The New Paradigm demanding high rates of return for investment, we should not worry too much if in 50 years all the coastal cities are 20m underwater. People will just build in Bangalore or other equally desirable locations at a nice, high, elevation. Anyway, a slow sea level rise due to Antarctic, glacial and Arctic melting is too boring. People will adapt very quickly and move uphill. Much more exciting will be the arrival of the next comet, asteroid or other piece of space rock. Especially if it hits the atmosphere over the ocean or even makes it through the atmosphere and into the ocean. The wave will be a LOT of fun to watch arriving on the coasts around the world. Say the Pacific is the bullseye, the whole Pacific Rim will be wet. Sales of cdmaOne in Los Angeles will plunge. Irwin Jacobs was cunning and built Qualcomm up on Mira Mesa so it would take a very large impact or one extraordinarily and very unluckily close to get them wet. They named it Qcom a decade before .com became the definition of the modern world. These are forward thinkers. A review of impact size distribution shows we'll be getting a good enough impact to be very, very interesting sooner rather than later. Every couple of hundred years there are some good bangs. Every thousand a real doozy. The one in Russia was fun, but nobody heard the trees fall. But they did. AND I bet they made a noise when they fell. Not as loud as the impact of course. So, to summarize. Sell your Los Angeles, Venice, Nederlands, London, and Vanuatu properties [Vanuatu is about 2m above sea level at the high point]. Move to Bangalore, where comets, volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, ice ages can't get you. Actually, the Montana survivalists have got it right - the Rocky Mountains are a very effective wave barrier. A wave from the East wouldn't get that far either. If an ice age arrived, they could always head south. Now, back to your question John. Another way to solve these problems is join the Iridium management team. In prayer. Mqurice
