Whitley’s Journal (Page 75)

On July 12, I wrote in this journal: ?So far, there has been a fairly high level of UFO activity worldwide, and some events involving the crop circle phenomenon suggest that there will be a window of opportunity for communication between August 11 and August 24.?

Recently, I have been receiving emails deriding me for claiming that aliens would land on August 11. Of course, I never said such a thing. It?s being spread on Christian Fundamentalist websites by skilled propagandists who are doing their ?lying for Christ? bit in the mistaken belief that the greater good of discrediting Whitley Strieber justifies the telling of a big, fat lie. Sometimes I wonder just how deep into evil these people can sink without realizing how corrupt they are becoming.

Today is August 11, 2003, and it was 96 F in Paris, 93 F in Rome, and this is coming down off record heat that reached as high as 101 in London and 103 in Paris over the last few days.

There are fires burning in eleven European countries, and this morning the Pope offered prayers pleading for relief. Meanwhile, water temperatures off the US eastern seaboard began moving back into the normal range, still with little indication of how or why they suddenly dropped to levels normally seen in April and May.

Earlier this summer, killing heat waves took temperatures in parts of India above 124 F, and the middle east has sweltered for days in weather that, even for that region, is brutally high.

An astronomer has calculated that there are 70 sextillion stars in the universe. That?s a seven followed by 22 zeros. It looks like this: 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. That?s SIX stars for every grain of sand on earth. And that?s just the visible, known universe. It does not include parallel universes, which scientists are increasingly convinced exist as coherent physical structures all around us. Nor does it include the greater amount of matter in our own universe, which is dark matter that so far can only be measured indirectly.

This unimaginable vastness, in other words, is only a small part of the whole picture. But, even so, the immensity of it is completely beyond comprehension.

A note added July 24, 2003: This has been an exceptionally controversial journal entry, largely due to the fact that people are unaware of the scientific basis of certain of my statements. I have provided this background elsewhere, but I will provide it again: Sudden Climate Change. Also, from the Atlanti c Monthly.

There have been dozens of references since. The Superstorm scenario has become accepted as a scientific possibility, just as was the Warday scenario in its day, after an initial period of denial and controversy.

Current Ongoing Extinction Event. There is no real scientific argument about this. It’s only emotional. People would rather not believe it was true, but the evidence is overwhelming.
