Subject: Jim Berkland The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes.
Part 5. May 18, 2008.
Jim Berkland is an easy person to interview on T.V.
About all you have to do is ask, "What have you been
up to lately." He will then give you an explanation
of everything that has happened to him since he last
was on the show with you. IMHO, he is a very smart
person.
........................................................
........................................................
If you heat minerals too much they lose there
magnetic force over the curri point of around 570
degrees centigrade. So that's why you may have heard
that when lava comes out of a volcano, you reverse the
magnetic field, and they freeze that magnetic field
within the lava.
The first work I did with the Survey was
paleo-magnetic studies in Montana, Idaho, and Oregon.
These lava flows are stacked up nearly flat, so
obviously the ones on top are younger than the ones
down below, unless you've had a huge unusual fault. So
you go deep down in these big canyons, which may be
eight thousand feet deep you know, S**** River Canyon
or something. You go down deeper and deeper, and you
get these older and older lava flows.
By getting samples of these rocks, and orienting them
just as they are in the field when you get back to the
laboratory, you can see where the magnetic field was
when the lava cooled. So a recent flow of crater lakes,
crater moons, or Mt. St. Helens, and you will get
today's magnetic field, but when when you get down
deeper and deeper, about 700,000 years ago, all of the
of the magnets were seeking south. There was definitely
a ****ft, very rapidly. It happens within a thousand or
four thousand years. So when the magnetic field goes
through the null point, zero point, no ionosphere, we
get an area with a tremendous amount of radiation. It
causes a lot of genetic changes, and a lot of mass
extinctions. New forms are created.
So there genetic changes at the time of a magnetic
****ft-over. Now it's not like some people think, that
whole crust ****fts abruptly and brings Greenland down
to the equator or something. I mean, those people are
really not scientists, and they read this stuff and
they think they hear about this pole ****ft or
something, and they think the whole crust ****fts. It
moves slowly through plate tectonics, but it doesn't
****ft thousands of miles in a week, or whatever they
may think. So but then it ****fts back, the deeper you
go, the further back in time. The pole has ****fted
periodically.
It's not that weird when you realize that on the sun,
the magnetic poles ****ft every two sun spot cycles,
about every 22 years. So it just takes longer for the
earth, but it's not nearly as accurate. But it's a real
phenomena. And then in-between the pole is slowly
moving around, so you have to adjust your compass.
Here, I guess was around 18 degrees, which 23 years ago
was only about 17 and a half degrees, I think a
declamation between true north and magnetic north. If
you go to Egypt, magnetic and true north are the same,
so you don't have to make any adjustment, which
explains partly why they could build the pyramids
exactly north-south and east-west. The Sphinx is facing
due east at the rising sun on the first day of summer.
So the magnetic field is a very im****tant aspect.
Now, I have an old compass-- this is a compass here
from Frigit, the Japanese Navy. See this compass. North
is right there, and it hasn't ****fted from the north.
Well, I expect that it can, because I was getting calls
from some kind of a furniture factory or something, a
fellow up in Aptos.
He had a big captain's compass in his study, set it
exactly north, and he'd notice it'd be off a half a
degree or up to a degree and a half.
He re****ted that to the U.S.G.S., and they finally
said, don't bother us with that, there's absolutely
nothing to it.
The reverse magnetic field does not change that much.
They told him that he must have bumped his compass. He
said, I'm the only one who lives there, I don't bump
it. But I saw the change, and it would go back to
normal after the quake. So he started calling me, and
he hit about four out of five. So I know there's a
local change in the magnetic field prior to quakes, and
it can be read.
Now I also have an item that was sent to me Christmas
time of 1974 called a "Magnetic Stress Indicator". It
was done by a fellow who just died early this year,
back in Missouri. If we line this up with the seven,
so we know we're looking at it, we can see it's about a
7.3, around in there. Okay, it was originally at 6 when
I first set it up, and it sat here for two or three
weeks, did nothing. I said, bad place. Or it just
doesn't work, as it looked like just kind of a
phony-looking contraption anyway. All of a sudden it
went from 6 to 6.4, and the next day up to 6.6, and the
next day it dropped back to 6.5. That night we had a
earthquake of about 3.8, about four miles from here.
David: And you think this is what the animals are
picking up on?
James: Yes. See, I could say I'm awful close to
knowing that's what the animals are picking up on, but
there may be other things too. But I'm convinced that
that's one of the more im****tant things. Another aspect
is homing pigeons. They've known for fifteen years or
so that homing pigeons have the mineral magnetite
behind their eyeballs. Now this used to be almost
unacceptable that animals create minerals in their
bodies. If they get into streams, with all the various
rocks which have magnetite in them, but don't tell me
animals can make it. Well, yes, you can tell me that
they do.
I used to raise homing pigeons. When I was in high
school I would take a couple in my nap sack with me.
The little sweaty critters were kind of disheveled, and
I would pet them. Okay, you know there's my home? And
they wouldn't fly straight home. What would they do? As
you've seen birds, these pigeons at the Olympics and so
forth. Instead of flying in a V-line, what do they do?
They can have a flock of a thousand birds, like they
do sometimes in pigeon races. All the cages are
released immediately--pah, pah, pah, pah-- and they
finally begin to form in a big flock.
And they begin to circle-- three, four times-- and
then they start to head for their various homes.
Why are they circling? If you have magnetic material,
and you move it around in a magnetic field, you're
generating electric current. So their little pea-brain
picks up on this sensitive magnetite moving around in a
magnetic field around the earth. Then they say, aha,
north is that way, and this is the way we fly home. But
if we've just had a big solar flare, pigeon racers will
cancel all races. Pigeon racers pay close attention to
what they hear about the sun. Pigeons get lost in big
solar flares, and these birds are $1500 or more.
David: Have you heard that homing pigeons can find
their way back home, even if the home is moved?
James: No.
David: During World W-r 11 there were these traveling
caravans that the homing pigeons lived on in
conjunction with the m-litary. Even though they kept
moving the bases, the pigeons were able to find their
way back the moving caravan. There's a whole chapter in
Rupert Sheldrake's new book just about this. Also
near-blind homing pigeons are pretty accurate in
finding their way back too.
James: Oh, no problem. But if they put a magnet
around their neck then they're hopeless.
David: Oh really?
James: Yeah, a full-time magnet, unless they're old
experienced birds, and able to use the sun. But if
they're at night, or in in fog, they're helpless. Now,
I'd imagine if they'd moved-- the birds aren't
restricted to one point, and they use their eyeballs,
so if they recognize what the caravan or the truck or
whatever that that they live in looks like, they'll go
back to where they're supposed to. And if you're not
there, then they'll probably spiral out and look for
you.
But time and again birds get lost after solar flares;
sometimes just during a great windstorm, or thunder and
lightening, that same sort of thing. They just sit down
and wait it out. But the mysterious thing was back
about ten years ago I saw an article about this homing
pigeon fancier in Morgan Hill. I'd already had inklings
about earthquakes and homing pigeons, so I called him,
and we're still in contact. I wrote an article for his
homing pigeon thing, because he's president of the
international, or national group, and then secretary
for the local homing pigeon fanciers for 30 years or
more.
So I said, have you had any smashed races lately?--
which is one of these times when half the birds don't
get back, or they're very late. He says, well, yeah we
had one-- and he gave me a couple of dates. This was
back in 1980, and they were racing in from in Nevada,
and he said, gee, they normally come in about four and
a half hours. This time the winner took six and a half
hours, and some haven't gotten back yet. Well, they
were flying right over Mammoth Lake, just before the 92
quake, so the faults there were under stress. Changes
in the magnetic field, and they got lost.
So he said, but we're not the only place that gets
these smash races.
They had a bad one last year in Los Angeles.

I Like Ike. May 19, 2008.
One of the reasons I like Ike is that he had the same
type of job I had as a boy. He was a paperboy, that
is, he delivered newspapers. He turned out to be a
General and I didn't get that high in rank.
Here is some information from some people who think
Ike talked to some people from space and no one told
us abbout it. Shall we proceed with the proceedings.?
........................................................
........................................................
Part 1. Art C-mpbell
Art Ca-pbell is a veteran of the Korean W-r, at naval
shore installations and with a fleet electronics
training unit aboard the aircraft carrier USS Boxer.
After leaving the Navy in the mid-1950's he became
active in UFO investigation and started a NICAP
affiliate in Kansas City, Missouri, working with the
legendary Donald Keyhoe.
On February 9, 1955, Eisenhower announced to the
press that he was going to Georgia for a few days. He
left on Feb. 10th at 1:00 p.m. from Andrews AFB with a
party of six. A chartered planeload of journalists
from all major networks accompanied him. The planeload
of press was with Ike because of international
tensions. The Russians were having a major leader****p
upheaval and the Red Chinese were making moves towards
Formosa. Ike and party arrived at his destination,
Thomasville, GA, about 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 10th, hunted
quail for an hour, and retired to his guest cottage.
Less than 24 hours later, President Eisenhower showed
up at Holloman AFB (Alamogordo Air Base, near the first
a-omic bomb crater).
Ike was out of the press view for some 36 hours.
James Hagerty, his press secretary, told the press that
Ike and his valet were "treating a case of the
sniffles."
The source of Ike's visit to Holloman comes from an
ex-airman stationed at the base hospital. The airman
wrote a seven-page letter to UFO investigator/speaker
Art Cam-bell, delineating the details of Ike's visit
and some of the activities while there. The Columbine
III, [Lockheed VC-121E]* Ike's Air Force One at the
time, landed at Holloman around 9:00 a.m. on Feb. 11th.
By previous arrangement, the plane taxied and parked on
an active runway. A short time later a UFO was seen to
land in front of Air Force One. A man presumed to be
Ike left the parked plane and walked to the UFO. A
meeting of some 45 minutes took place and then he
returned to the plane. Another UFO was seen hovering
over the flight line while the meeting was going on.
The details are sketchy, but Ike was at the base
until 4:30 or 5:00 p.m. when his plane left. Hundreds
saw it (photo above).
Ike and the base commander spoke to several hundred
military and civilian workers on the base and at a
hangar and in the base theater. The airman listed the
names of eight witnesses to this event. Other
witnesses are being sought by investigator Art
Campb-ll.
Two planes landed at Spence AFB north of Thomasville
on Thursday, Feb. 10th. Preceding Ike's Air Force one
was a chartered plane full of news media. They landed
first, and, with various movie cameras, other
journalists and technicians began setting up for Ike's
arrival. Among them were well-known personalities
representing 120 different news organizations--Ray
S-erer and Robert B-air of NBC, the well-known
journalist William L-wrence of the New York Times,
Walter K-ngston of the Baltimore Sun and John E-wards
of ABC as well as Ed D-rby of Time Magazine. Others
were also on the plane - representatives from the AP
and UP as well as a number of technicians for the
Warner-Pathe News and a film crew from Metro G-ldwyn
Mayer.
Why all of this high powered press for a quail shoot
on private land and out of the press view? The
headlines next to Ike's front page articles in the
Times-Enquirer were very bold with an international
flavor. A week before, Joseph Stalin's replacement
Georgi Malenkov, the Russian premier had been forced
to resign and was replaced by Marshal Bulganin (who
himself would be ousted by Khrushchev). Headlines
fairly screamed about the leader****p change. Winston
Churchill made immediate arrangements to talk to
Marshal Bulganin. A famous mi-itary leader taking over
an aggressive cold wa- go-ernment gave the world a
severe case of the jitters. It was clear the
Wa****ngton press corps wanted to be near the Pr-sident.
Sometime in midmorning, James Ha-erty dropped by the
Scott Hotel where the journalists were staying with the
hunting re****t. Ike and George Hum-hrey had gone out
again that morning, but the birds were not active, so
the hunters soon returned to their quarters
empty-handed. To top it all off, it seemed that Ike
had come down with a case of the "sniffles" and would
be staying in for awhile. According to Hager-y, Ike
was sitting by the fireplace playing bridge and
chatting. It continued to rain on and off the rest of
the day, but there was one bright note for the
journalists -- Secretary Hum-hrey was throwing a dinner
party for them that evening at the nearby Glen A-ven
Country Club. Since their arrival the weather was
taking a definite downturn, and many decided they
needed some warmer clothing. As soon as the stores
opened, the men fanned out in twos and threes to see
what Thomasville was about. The Thomasville Cab Co.
did a brisk business that day, taking the men to
various stores and other places in the southern town.
Hunters bright flannel ****rts, sold well at Pennys.
Just inside the front door was a manikin wearing a
"short 'n sweet" nightie with Peek A Boo panties, but
many men bought heart shaped boxes of candy for the
upcoming Valentine Day occasion. That evening the
Times-Inquirer talked about the cold wave, while on the
funnies page Bumstead dreamed he was in a flying
saucer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_green_men
It must have been reassuring to some that the leader
of the free world in this time of world crisis was
sitting by a warm fireplace nursing his cold, drinking
hot toddies and playing bridge. Actually, this was not
the case. At about 8:00 that Friday morning, Ike was
not in his cottage. As the journalists and technicians
were starting to stir and thinking about shaving, hot
coffee and breakfast, their leader had taken a back
road north to Spence AFB during the night and had
skipped out. Air Force One was some 1250 miles away at
13,000 ft., somewhere above the west Texas/New Mexico
border, and Ike was not thinking about hot toddies and
bridge. The Pre-ident was on his way to Holloman AFB
to one of the most im****tant meetings of his life.
http://www.spence-air-base.com
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holloman_Air_Force_Base
Ike and his advisors had been preparing material,
collecting statistics and going over the rationale for
continued nuc-ear testing. He, as the leader of the
most powerful nation on earth, was also seen as the
guardian or spokesman for the free world's nucle-r
arsenal. The arms r-ce was ****fting in to high gear.
The USA alone, up to 1955, had conducted 189 nuclear
tests above ground, underground, under water and in the
atmosphere.
The Russians had conducted some 90 nuc-ear tests
since 1949 and had exploded their first h-drogen bomb
in 1953. Ike was not sure how the meeting would go,
but his advisors had prepared him as well as they
could. He was very sure ato-ic energy would be at the
top of the agenda. He and his few aides on board were
informed by a crewman that they would begin the descent
to Holloman soon. They buckled their seat belts and
waited.
On one side of the huge plane could be seen the town
of Alamogordo, and in the distance, the dual A shaped
runways of Holloman AFB. As the Lockheed completed its
final turn, to the west could be seen the San Andreas
Mountains, and to the north, the long Tularosa Valley
stretching into the distance. Above the white haze was
a clear azure blue sky. It was going to be another
beautiful day in New Mexico.
Shortly after the US Air Fo-ce became a separate
branch of the services, Alamogordo Air Base became
Holloman AFB. It was named in honor of Colonel George
V. Holloman, a pioneer in Air Force research and
development. At one time in the early fifties,
Holloman was a far-flung satellite of the Air Fo-ce
Missile Test Center at Patrick AFB in Florida. In
September of 1952 it was designated as a permanent Air
For-e installation.
The old Alamogordo airfield had been a training base
for heavy bombers. The bombing range some 38 miles
wide and 64 miles long, proved to be an ideal location
for the new guided missile program which began in
1946-47. But that was fifteen years earlier. Today
the pr-sident of the Uni-ed States was landing at
Holloman. It was a smooth landing as landings go.
Dual tires on the concrete skid-marked runway felt
rough at first. But after the wheels of the big
Lockheed got up to speed, things smoothed out.
Gradually the sagebrush came info focus, and the four
powerful Wright engines took on the familiar sound of
props under reduced power.
The big Lockheed Constellation in passenger service
in those days carried over 125 passengers, but there
were fewer than twenty aides and secret service men in
the main cabin with the crew of fourteen each at his
station. Some in a special compartment behind the
cockpit, two in the small galley, and several in the
aft passenger area.
