After hearing all the fearmongering going on about Elenin and the Defcon 1 drill...and nothing happened. I'm officially not taking any of this serious

I like my Sci-Fi like I like my news, fake with a hint of truth on it.

Best comment here.

JUst when I was going to suggest - "Maybe we could give Elenin a virus...a Computer virus..."

First off, it wasn't a prediction it was an opinion.

So, a misguided opinion spectacularly changing someone elses opinion. Hrmmm, where do we MSM see that The U.S., Incorporated every day of the week?

Secondly, REanalyzing the failure and enLIGHTENING one's self completely dependent of and from reality propaganda/warmachine/etc isn't a bad thing if you're of service to others in forms such as exposing the propaganda. No?

Logical fallacies are what you used. I was pointing them out in your post.

So: FTFY

First off, it wasn't a prediction it was an opinion.

An if your opinion is about something happening in the future, it's called a prediction.

Frankly, I never believed any of this bs and didn't waste any of my time investigating it. You're wasting your time if you're worrying about things outside your control.

IMO, this and the reptilian shit is just disinfo designed to make conspiracy theorists look like whack jobs.

I don't even think it's disinfo - there are always fringe elements to any group of people. In this case, delusional people who would latch onto conspiracy theory style scenarios who would normally be isolated in their own communities are suddenly able to communicate with others the same via the internet, and effectively self-reinforce each other's delusions.

This forms a small, but fanatical core group of people who act as a focus for the larger number of the nice-but-dim gullible types who get drawn into it, thinking "if so many people believe in (reptilians, etc.) then there must be something to it).

No disinfo is even required!

I don't think anyone was saying that Elenin absolutely had to materialize today, by a certain time. With conspiracies, it's more of a "Here are the facts we have, and they point to...." where they attempt to predict the most likely day for an event. They're not promises, they're not even predictions.

Except most of the "facts" people were presenting weren't facts at all. Most of it was wild speculation and / or complete fiction.

Very true.

But Earth has yet to pass through the comets tail, sometime around the end of October.

I'm pretty sure I read that it has now evaporated and no longer even exists, but the small amount of googling I can do at work hasn't located the source of this info.

there is no comet tail for there is no more comet

Thanks, glad to see I didn't just imagine it and can now expect the ridiculous Elenin posts to stop.

Oh, don't ever lose that innocence.

I love your optimism!

When will Comet Elenin come closest to the Earth and appear the brightest?

Comet Elenin should be at its brightest shortly before the time of its closest approach to Earth on Oct. 16, 2011. At its closest point, it will be 22 million miles (35 million kilometers) from us.

Will Comet Elenin come close to the Earth or between the Earth and the moon?

*Comet Elenin will not come closer to Earth than 22 million miles (35 million kilometers). That's more than 90 times the distance to the moon. *

too damn far away, and basically insignificant

Is that you, Camping?

Doesn't the comet not even get near earth until near the end of Oct?

Dude, you can NOT be serious. Lmfao.

they are hiding in my basement.... gotta go, we're playing bingo.

It could be... early yet. This is interesting (crossposted from another thread here).

I wasn't expecting alien overlords or an ELE but whenever those guys get together for a little chat, things get interesting, in the Chinese proverb way.

Airspace around Denver was not shut down today. There was a VIP restriction that prohibited non-commercial and non-official (gov't, military, rescue) aircraft from entering a certain airspace, in this case for Obama's scheduled visit. That prevents people in private planes from trying to buzz Air Force 1. Commercial flights continued unobstructed.

If you're going to say "bullshit" like that perhaps you have some information that says this isn't the case?

Or perhaps you're simply upset that you're wrong? It's better to remain silent in such cases.

Oh shit... Now I don't feel so bad I stayed up half the night with my emergency kit.

When I see it, I'll believe it!

Couldn't it have been a test of "How fast can we all get there?". That's one of the first things you practice when you have a backup/hideout. Isn't it?

I much prefer my fear mongering to be about terrorists after americans because of their freedoms.

Then the government trolls take away their freedom and in time we learn the terrorists were actually working for the government.

It is not our fault disinfo agents eat you for breakfast.

You have to read between the lines to see whats going on...

I for example find lots of interesting things popping up and continuing pop up here and there.

I have a feeling that we are going to hear wild predictions of doom every two months or so. Enough to keep folks in constant fear.

And all this talk of "ascension" is just code word for "let yourself die / commit suicide for a better life beyond this shit". Don't ascend, stay and fight.

I don't recall hearing any talk of ascension.

It's the end game of a lot of recent conspiracy mythology. See "The Quickening", and talks on Project Camelot, for example. Not promoting it, just sharing, as I find this stuff interesting from a story-telling point of view.

Actually the endgame is the control of the financial system and Disclosure.

Since when we have that we will basically have an Utopia.

I'm sorry. You are not allowed to use these obscure, esoteric, alien concepts in this subreddit. They just make you look silly and they make the rest of this subreddit look like they're all tinfoil hat wearing neckbeards. In fact, the following two topics will result in you being assigned a permanent label, encoded into your masonic chip for life.

  • control of the financial system

  • disclosure

Actually without that and the occasional ancient prophecy all you'll have in this reddit(and all other conspiracy sites) is how are they going to kill,rape,pillage or beat us next, which is completely pointless since you can get that by watching Fox News.

They already feed on your fear(literally or metaphorically)

If you're looking into conspiracy stuff you might as well look into the good and interesting stuff too.

boy i says boy you need to loosen up.

Guess what's going to happen with Nibiru and the end-of-the-world-2012-omg fearmongering?

The week is not over yet...

Hello friend,

what's the latest on that elenin thing?

Elenin did something to the Sun, it is going bonkers; who knows what that means for Earth. Severe geomagnetic storm as we speak.

Elenin has done nothing to the sun; you're talking out your bum. Comets do not have a measurable effect on the Sun.

The sun, however, has a large sunspot (#1302), which is rotating towards the earth, which could cause a g4 electromagnetic storm. The sunspot is larger than planet Earth.

There has been increased solar activity for the last few weeks, including two X class solar flares. Also, there has been increased earthquake activity as a result.

2 minutes on Google will get you the same information.

2 minutes on Google will get you the same information.

I took your advice, turned out to expose you as a retard...

Q: Do solar flares or magnetic storms (space weather) cause earthquakes?

A: Solar flares and magnetic storms belong to a set of phenomena known collectively as "space weather". Technological systems and the activities of modern civilization can be affected by changing space-weather conditions. However, it has never been demonstrated that there is a causal relationship between space weather and earthquakes. Indeed, over the course of the Sun's 11-year variable cycle, the occurrence of flares and magnetic storms waxes and wanes, but earthquakes occur without any such 11-year variability. Since earthquakes are driven by processes in the Earth's interior, they would occur even if solar flares and magnetic storms were to somehow cease occurring.

-Source

Although I object to the "retard" label, I retract the statement from my previous post that says that increased earthquake activity is a result of Solar Flare 1302. I stand corrected; I read through your link and a couple others, thank you(In my original learning effort, I must have originally clicked the first link when I googled "can geomagnetic storms cause earthquakes" instead of the second) ;)

However, all the other information I provided is factual, and my point regarding the comet Elenin's inability to effect our Sun stands.

I upvoted you for the correction, but downvoted you for the insult; therefore, my votes will have a similar effect on your karma, as Elenin will on the Sun.

[deleted]

bye bye teenager.

You've been called a NOOB on the internet! How will you sleep at night?

Valium.

you're welcome retard.

P.S.

Google is not a source of information. I know that's going to be a mindfuck for you to think about, but it is NOT a source, it is merely an index. Even as a teenager I was able to compile a compelling argument, with sources...

You must be new to this subreddit if you expect people to actually cite evidence.

He's also new to life itself if he thinks calling people "retard" will get them to come around to his way of thinking.

I agree, I definitely don't like his method of expressing his thoughts but he does raise a valid point.

His posts were far more readable than this shit :)

the form of communication may be rude and crude, but it got the job done.

Though surely the job could've been done without resorting to childish namecalling.

Good edit, I guess he did call you a retard so it's about even now lol

It didn't though. Instead of focusing on the facts now everyone is focused on your presentation.

I'm O.K. with that. I got through to those who mattered. You'd be surprised how many upvotes I got for those comments before the downvote brigade showed up.

Why are you ok with that though? Why limit your audience? For the low low cost of acting mature you could expand who pays attention to you.

heh, in this subreddit where everyone makes baseless claims like no tomorrow? In fact I removed it from my reddits this morning... Nothing good can come of this place...

True, and I only glance in here occasionally for a chuckle or to debunk the more outrageous claims but it doesn't change the point that when doing so you'll change more minds if you conduct yourself better.

But that doesn't mean they have no effect; human technology only measures less than 2% of the EMS after all. Long period comets, given their origin outside the heliosphere, are just about certain to carry a vast cloud of protons with them. There must be a very substantial electrical interaction between that and the vast electron cloud surrounding the Sun. The Sun's activity increased dramatically as Elenin approached, something that does defy coincidence under the circumstances.

The sunspots surely mean something, but probably not what you guess they mean. In the summer of 2002, the sun was covered with huge sunspots, I saw them with my naked eyes. But while there were heatwaves and many forest fires, there was much less seismic activity then than there is now. Geomagnetic storms cannot be correlated outright with sunspots either, BTW, as they depend entirely on CMEs striking the earth apparently at random. There have been more than 2 X flares by the way.

One of us is talking out our bum, but I don't think it's me. As much as you need something you don't understand to not to happen, it may be happening anyway.

First off, I'm sorry if I came off rudely in my original comment. I probably replied too quickly to your post, which I interpreted as a wild, undocumented claim. I see from your latest reply that your comment was not made absent of relevent knowledge; thanks.

Is there any scientific evidence that the recent increase in solar activity is a result of Elenin(or alignment thereof)? I would be inclined to believe that, but do historical records not overwhelmingly show otherwise? Here is a good article outlining the debate. Link. He presents the research of Dr Mensur Omerbashich in support of the alignment-has-effect argument. Here is the link to the abstract of Astronomical alignments as the cause of ~M6+ seismicity

Also worth mentioning, is solar flare 1302, which is rotating towards the earth over the next couple days. Is this not the more obvious cause of the solar activity? Can comets cause solar flares? Is it even a comet?

I'd be more likely to believe you...

the sun was covered with huge sunspots, I saw them with my naked eyes.

if you were blind.

naked eye

Not conjecture. Read this interview with Dr. Mensur Omerbashich.

link

thank you, I'll have to save this info.

You should link it along with your original post next time...

Actually it isn't conjecture, it's physics; you can look all that up. As it happens, I saw the spots through the smoke of an immense forest fire.

actually, YOU can look all that up for me. Perty please? I mean they are YOUR words that you spout out. If you had any will to provide integrity to your words, you would provide your own external support. Otherwise don't take offense when people call your word worthless.

Actually I don't really care all that much if you believe it or not. Simple physics though; electrons have a negative charge and low mass, they can't get far from the Sun. Protons have a positive charge and are heavy, the Sun uses them to inflate the heliosphere which protects the system from cosmic rays and debris. Comet picks up galactic protons in the oort cloud (this is static electricity), and even more as it proceeds through the heliosphere toward the Sun. With a 10,000 year comet, the electricity involved could easily be of proportions immense enough to effect a low mass star like Solaris. At some point it must discharge these protons into the electron cloud around the Sun, just like your finger on the doorknob when you've walked across the carpet. I suggest you watch Dr. Strong's channel on YouTube if you want to keep an eye on the Sun, BTW. Food for thought; what if that electrical discharge actually conveys information to the sun? :)

It's pure conjecture without at least one scientific test to prove it. This isn't elementary school, you're not just allowed to play scientist. In fact, without any sort of backing whatsoever, what you're doing is more politics than science.

Like you, I don't really care about the facts. What I care about is the spreading of misinformation to a retard who is dumb enough to believe whatever simply sounds legit yet has little to no merit.

Oh give us break, you already established yourself as a troll (and not a very good one), especially with that immature "Noob noob noob!" thing you have since edited. Go read a book or something, you really need it.

I've heard about three days of darkness because of Comet Elenin. Will Elenin block out the sun for three days?

“As seen from the Earth, comet Elenin will not cross the sun’s face,” says Yeomans.

But even if it could cross the sun, which it can’t, astrobiologist David Morrison notes that comet Elenin is about 2-3 miles (3-5 km) wide, while the sun is roughly 865,000 miles (1,392,082 km) across.

too damn far away, and basically insignificant
