about ten centimetres (four inches) a year ... If both these observations
were accurate when made, as we have every right to expect in view of the
eminence of the scientists involved, then we have here evidence that the
lithosphere may be in motion at the present time [and that it is
experiencing] a geometrical acceleration of the rate of motion ...

Exhibit 13

USA Today, Wednesday 23 November 1994, page 9D:
‘INTERACTIVE IN ANTARCTICA: Students Link With South Pole
Scientists
‘A live remote broadcast from the South Pole featuring Elizabeth Felton,
a 17-year-old graduate of Chicago public schools, will take place Jan 10.
Felton will use US Geological Survey data to reposition the copper marker
designating the Earth’s geographic South Pole to compensate for the
annual slippage of the ice sheet.’

Is it just the ice sheet that is slipping, or is the entire crust of the earth
in motion? And was it just an ‘unusual interactive education project’ that
took place on 10 January 1995, or was Elizabeth Felton unknowingly
documenting the continued geometrical acceleration of the rate of
motion of the crust?
Scientists do not think so. As we shall see in the final chapter, however,
the coming century is signalled in a remarkable convergence of ancient
prophecies and traditional beliefs as an epoch of unprecedented turmoil
and darkness, in which iniquity will be worked in secret, and the Fifth Sun
and the Fourth World will come to an end ...

Exhibit 14

Kobe, Japan, Tuesday 17 January 1995: ‘The suddenness with which the
earthquake struck was almost cruel. One moment we were fast asleep, an
instant later the floor—the entire building—had turned to jelly. But this is
no gently undulating liquid motion. This is jarring, gut-wrenching
shuddering of awesome proportions ...
‘You are in bed, the safest place in the world. Your bed is on the floor,
what you used to think of as solid ground. And with no warning the world
has turned into a sickening roller-coaster ride, and you want to get off.
‘Possibly the most frightening part is the sound. This is not the dull
rumble of thunder. This is a deafening, roaring sound, coming from
everywhere and nowhere, and it sounds like the end of the world.’
