Subject: Sanni's Back In Town. Part 2 of 2.
May 13, 2008.
I have bought and read one of Sanni's books, like
her and respect her.
........................................................
........................................................
She is particularly suited for her job because she
had a reckless streak, herself, as Sanni Ceto.
`We were not supposed to be there,' she wrote in
`Stranded on Earth.' `As a matter of fact, we were
violating the orders of the Council by coming to Earth
in the first place. Earth was strictly off-limits to
all spacecraft, but my desire to lead a
specimen-collecting scientific expedition there had
been just too tempting to let a little thing such as
Federation rules and regulations stop me.'
Her craft crashed because she was momentarily
distracted during an electrical storm, and in her book,
Beckwith recounts her treatment by her human captors
and her eventual t-rture and d-ath as Sanni Ceto.
Beckwith grew up in Ohio and made her way with the
help of the Star Beacon to Paonia, where she said she
finally feels at home on Earth.

The biggest enemy of mother nature is human. We
humans reached the top of the food chain and kept
multiplying until no end.
More humans means more pollution; More trees cut down
for wood, more forest burned for living space, and more
s-aughtering of innocent animals.
Stopping humans from multiphying is the only feasible
way of saving mother nature.
And Gorgeouspil can stop humans from multiplying!
So spreading the usage of Gorgeouspil can save the
environment.
Here's why:
Without Gorgeouspil, people's bodies would age.
Blockages of Chi energy would torment a person's
s-ul.
The so-l can no longer tolerate flowing inside a
deteriorating body. New bodies need to be reproduced.
The deteriorating body is forced to produce offspring
so that his sou- can share a line of new and fresh
bodies.
This is what I call 'abandon ****p' theory.
But with Gorgeouspil, the body will constantly be
repaired. Blockages of Chi energy will slowly be opened
If there is no more blockages of Chi energy, the -oul
will no longer be tormented. Therefore the body no
longer needs to reproduce itself.
No more 'abandon ****p'.
So people who take Gorgeouspil don't want kids. (You
still can have kids. But you just don't want one.
A person who takes Gorgeouspil likes to concentrate
his s-ul within his own body and does not wish to
scatter his so-l on to other bodies. So making babies
is not desirable for people who take Gorgeouspil.
Gorgeouspil allows a person to achieve unlimited beauty
and unlimited youth.
Meanwhile, it stops humans from unnecessary
reproductions of more human beings.
Help bring this new technology to light.
For the sake of mother nature, for the sake of
millions of innocent animals, for the sake of your own
future. Don't blindly let the unnecessary reproductions
of more human beings ruin our home.
Spread the word about Gorgeouspil.
As an immortal you have a duty to protect our planet.
Let the spreading of words be your first mission.

According to
http://www.alexchiu.com/eternallife/backgrnd.htm
Alex Chiu, based on
http://www.alexchiu.com/eternallife/proof.htm
testimonies, facts, and proofs, people are believed to
be able to stay physically young forever by using his
new inventions "The Eternal Life Rings and "The Eternal
Life Foot Braces". The Eternal Life Rings are to be
worn on both small fingers of a user during sleep. The
Eternal Life Foot Braces are to be worn on
all toes of both feet during sleep. Both
devices consist of rare earth or ceramic magnets
and plastic braces which hold magnets onto the
fingers of the user. The
http://www.alexchiu.com/eternallife/backgrnd.htm
inventor explained that the fingers and toes
are the negative (-) and positive (+) terminals of
your body.
When placing the magnetic devices, the magnetic
pole on the right side of the human body is
opposite to the left side. With a opposite pole
on each side of the human body, blood circulation and
electric current of the body are
http://www.alexchiu.com/eternallife/cholestr.htm
enhanced. The enhanced blood circulation and electric
current increase
http://www.alexchiu.com/eternallife/cures.htm
metabolism in order to fight the aging process.
The Eternal Life Rings and The Eternal Life Foot
Braces invented by Alex Chiu are believed to allow
humans to stay physically young forever or turn humans
physically younger, (Our lawyer told us to use the word
"believe") as long as you wear the rings or foot braces
every night during sleep.

Open up your own Immortality Devices website.
Here is a chart that I made based on my personal
experience.
Wear Immortality Devices for 1 day equals to 30 days
of healing without the devices. It heals your body
faster than you can age.
That's why you stop aging, and in most cases, reverse
aging..
Use Immortality Devices and Gorgeouspil for 1 day
equals to 3 months of healing with only the devices.
(no joke)
That's why the shape of your bones can change within
a few days.
Use the devices, Gorgeouspil, and also Chi Flush for
1 day equals to 5 days of healing with the devices and
Gorgeouspil. & And you get to remove all Chi blockades
which the Gorgeouspil cannot do.
How come regular drugs don't work as well as Alex
Chiu's Gorgeouspil or Chi Flush?
A regular pill is taken during the day. And you would
move around while the pill takes effect.
When your body is moving, the Chi flow has been
distributed to your arms and legs and cannot be used
for body healing. If there is not enough Chi flow,
there is little healing. That's why most healing is
done at night during sleep. Your body doesn't move
around, so the Chi energy can focus on healing the
body.
If there is no Chi flow for healing, your cells
cannot absorb medication. If your cells do not absorb
the pill's medication when your body is moving, most of
the medication will be wasted and will be excreted from
your body as waste.
Alex Chiu's Immortality Rings are the most superior
medical technology in the world because they amplify
your body's Chi flow while you lie down for healing.
The small finger acts as the smallest gear that turns
a larger gear. And that larger gear is your entire
body.
You see, the small finger and your entire body are
connected. If the small finger has 1% of energy flow,
the body should have 100% of energy flow. If the small
finger has 10% of energy flow, THE ENTIRE BODY WILL
HAVE 1000% OF ENERGY FLOW! Now do you understand your
body's gear box?
The Immortality Rings have amplified your body's Chi
flow from 100% to 1000%. Now there is lots of Chi
energy available for healing. Your cells start to
absorb medication and nutrients like crazy the moment
you lie down.
Your body heals itself faster than it can age.
This is the biggest technology break-through in this
century.
Then you take Gorgeouspil and Chi Flush!
These two are the most advanced technology in the
world. Gorgeouspil stimulates all cells in your body
enforcing more healing, and Chi Flush can dissolve all
Chi blockades.

Toads Tell About The Chinese Earthquake.
May 14, 2008.
If you look at the following website you can
see all the pictures about this story.
I hope someone will send this information to
my friend Jim Berkland, because I don't have his
e-mail address.
....................................................

From: a-exa
Subject: Did toads have predict the China quake?
http://observers.france24.com/en/content/20080513-toads-predict-earthquake-dead-china
..........
According to recent estimates, the earthquake that
hit China on Monday could leave
http://www.france24.com/en/20080512-death-toll-3000-beichuan-sichuan-china-earthquake
10,000 people dead. (JW That figure will probably go
up as time goes by.)
Web users are saying that the catastrophe could have
been avoided, if only they had listened to the toads.
Two days before the quake thousands of toads suddenly
decided to move across a bridge in Taizhou, a town in
the Jiangsu province (see photos). Chinese web users
are wondering why the local authorities didn't relate
the event to the imminence of an earthquake, and why
scientists didn't take notice of the bizarre
disappearance of a lake in En****, in the Hubei
province, on April 26 (see photos).
A seismologist tells us that the Chinese have long
relied on the behaviour of animals to predict
earthquakes. Although there's no scientific study to
back up the farmers' claims, the idea that toads sensed
the earthquake should not be ruled out.

"Pascal Bernard's picture"
"Animals sense pre-earthquake micro-tremors"
Pascal Bernard is a researcher in a team of
seismologists at the Jussieu University in Paris.
Although it's difficult to prove that toads
"predicted" the quake, it's certainly not impossible.
We know that animals sense pre-earthquake
micro-tremors, and react to underground water
movements, or even changes in the composition of the
air. It's just that these theories haven't been
scientifically proven yet.
China has a long tradition of seismology studies
based particularly on looking at the behaviour of rats,
s****s, toads etc. The idea was very fa****onable in the
70s [when scientific researchers were ousted in the
cultural revolution]. Farmers very carefully noted down
all the different kinds of behaviour of animals in the
hope of predicting natural catastrophes. But in my
experience it never really worked. In 1975, villagers
did manage to predict an earthquake and avoid
catastrophe. But it was because they felt the
mini-tremors, not because of something they noticed in
the animals."

(JW IMHO this is caused due to the fact that animals,
birds and toads are directed by a group intelligence,
group spirit, mother nature or whatever you want to
call it that tells them to leave and area if it
is going to be hit by a large earthquake. Millions
of people could be saved if they used this information
in the Los Angeles area if a very large earthquake
should hit them or all along the Calif. coastline and
the San Andres Fault.)

Jim Berkland The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes.
May 14, 2008.
I consider Jim Berkland to be my personal friend. I
had him on the Community Channel TV that I hosted in
the past, in San Jose, Calif. called Science-Faction.
I was once in his home while Stanton Friedman, the
expert in UFOs was there. Jim and Stanton's wifes are
sisters and Stanton visits and stays in Jim's home
while he is lecturing in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Here is an interview that a person made of Jim
Berkland.
........................................................
........................................................
Interview with James Berkland
James Berkland is a geologist who worked for the
United States Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) from 1973 to
1994. He is well-known for his controversial earthquake
prediction methods that include calculating the number
of missing pets ads in the newspapers of
earthquake-prone areas.
Berkland’s interest in geology began as a child, as
he says his dad was a `rock-hound'. After earning his
BA in Geology at U.C. Berkeley in 1958 he went directly
to work for six years with the U.S. Geological Survey,
involving laboratory and fieldwork throughout the
western United States, including Alaska. Then, after
earning his Masters degree in Geology at San Jose State
University in 1964 he accepted the position of
Engineering Geologist with the U.S. Bureau or
Reclamation, based in Sacramento, and for the next five
years worked on engineering projects involving the
storage and moving of water at a number of dam sites,
tunnels and canals in California and Oregon.
Berkland worked on his Ph.D. in geology at the
University of California at Davis until 1972, and
although he passed his Ph.D. orals, he didn’t complete
his dissertation within the required seven years.
However he published more than 50 scientific papers,
many of which utilized his Ph.D. studies, including a
paper delivered at the International Geological
Congress at Montreal in 1972.
Berkland was Assistant Professor of Geology at
Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina
until 1973, where he shared in the discovery of
evidence for Pleistocene glaciation in the Southern
Appalachians. Berkland then moved backed to California
and worked for the U.S.G.S. for over twenty years. He
was the first County Geologist for the most populous
county in northern California, Santa Clara County.
Besides helping to establish geologic ordinances widely
held as models in the field, Berkland served on many
committees and advisory boards.
He also held a position for two years as an adjunct
professor at San Jose State University, and he received
distinguished member awards from the Santa Clara County
Engineers and Architects Association and the SABER
Society at San Jose State University.
Berkland claims that he can predict earthquakes with
over 75% accuracy by calculating the number of lost pet
ads in the newspaper, and observing the lunar-tide
cycles. He has been meticulously saving and counting
lost pet ads for many years, and he says that the
number of missing dogs and cats goes up significantly
for as long as two weeks prior to an earthquake.
Berkland also noted that many earthquakes occurred at
the time of maximum tidal forces associated with the
twice-monthly alignments of the Sun and Moon. In the
70s he began to make informal predictions, scoring six
out of eight during 1974, including the 5.2M
Thanksgiving Day Quake of November 27th. This one hit
the day after he had predicted it at a meeting of
U.S.G.S. geologists, and it synchronistically shook him
and his daughter while they were attending the movie
Earthquake.
Despite Berkland’s successes in earthquake prediction
he found it almost impossible to publish on the subject
in scientific journals. His career began to suffer
although his credentials included fellow****p in the
Geological Society of America and member****p in the
Association of Engineering Geologists, Earthquake
Engineering Research Institute, American Association
for the Advancement of Science, Sigma Xi Science Honor
Society, Peninsula Geological Society, Seismological
Society of America, and others.
Gravitational variations due to the lunar cycles, he
says, create `seismic windows' of greater earthquake
probability.
When the number of missing pets also suddenly rises,
then a quake is likely to happen. Berkland said he
thinks the U.S.G.S. won’t accept unusual animal
behavior data because it doesn’t fit with their current
scientific paradigm. (Researchers who attempt
earthquake prediction are often lumped into the same
category as fortune tellers and scam artists by
traditional geologists.) It is not surprising then to
hear that Berkland was suspended from his position as
Santa Clara county geologist for claiming to predict
earthquakes--such as the 1989 Loma Prieta quake in
Northern California, which was preceded by numerous
re****ts of odd animal behavior.
When I did the research for Dr. Rupert Sheldrake’s
book Dogs That Know When Their Owner’s Are Coming Home,
I set out to replicate Berkland’s findings, and I sat
in the Santa Cruz Public Library for several weeks
counting the Lost Pet ads in the San Jose Mercury News
microfilm collection. I confirmed that Berkland’s
calculations were indeed correct; there was a
significant rise in the number of missing dog and cat
ads in the weeks prior to the 1989 quake. The trouble
was that when I checked the number of missing pet ads
for the year before, during the same time period, there
was also a rise--yet an earthquake didn’t follow the
rise that year. So more counting needs to be done to
determine whether seasonal effects might influence this
phenomenon or not, but it does appear that Berkland is
on to something significant with his method.
Berkland has made many media appearances. He was
interviewed on the Art Bell radio show, and has
appeared on Frontline, Sightings, Strange Universe,
Northwest Afternoon, Town Meeting, Bill Cosby Show, The
Other Side, Two at Noon, Evening Matinee, Jeff Rense
show, George Putnam Show, Mitch Battros Show, Laura Lee
Show, and many other broadcasts. In 1991 he was
featured in the Farmer s Almanac, and his annual
predictions are now published in the Dot Tide Tables.
Berkland also publishes his predictions in a
newsletter called Syzygy, and he maintains Quakeline, a
900-line telephone information service that was
originally nationwide, but is now restricted to the
San Francisco Bay Area. To find out more about
Berkland’s work visit his web site:
www.syzygyjob.com
I interviewed Jim at his home on November 1, 1996,
when he was living in San Jose, California. Jim is a
very friendly guy, and he gets very enthusiastic when
he talks about geology and earthquakes. We spoke about
his career in geology, his methods of earthquake
prediction, and what he thinks the animals are picking
up on that is causing them to disappear prior to
earthquakes.
David: How did you get involved in earthquake
prediction?
James: As a county geologist I came out here in
September of 1973, directly from Appalachian State
University, where I was a Assistant Professor for a
year. But I'm a native Californian, raised in the Bay
Area. I was born down in Glendale, but we moved to
Somoma Valley when I was six years old.
David: How did you first become interested in
geology?
Why don't we start with that.
James: Well, my dad was a rock hound, and I was
brought up in the country, with animals and hikes,
hunting and fi****ng all around there. I'd see different
terrain, and pick up rocks, different pretty rocks,
stick them in the pocket. My dad was interested in lots
of things, and was frustrated in a number of ways. He
was an electrician, a store-keeper, and never had gone
to colleges. He almost started in medicine, but didn't
continue in it.
I went directly from high school to a local Santa
Rosa Junior College.
Then I was going to work for six months and earn
money to go to Berkeley in forestry, but it turned into
almost six years. I worked at the biggest industry in
Sonoma County, which is Sonoma State Hospital for the
mentally retarded. I almost didn't get out of there. It
was handy, only a mile a way from where I lived, and I
had kind of a pleasing job. It was like having Boy
Scout troop. I would take the kids up in the hills for
hikes and things.
Of course, my colleagues there were tickled, because
suddenly instead of 120 kids on the ward, there would
have maybe 75 or less. It was a lot easier to handle
while I was away for four or five hours. I would pack
the kids lunches, and go up and fish up at the creeks.
We'd look at the wildlife, and turn over rocks to see
what's underneath. So I finally I decided there's got
to be a little more.
I'm trained for more than this. It was easy, but it
wasn't challenging, and there was so "many things that
I was interested in, but couldn't seem to follow up on.
So I went down to become a forester.
