DA14: the asteroid that nails us?


NASA is wondering: is asteroid DA14 the one that finally nails the earth in our time?

From RT.com:

To avert a possible catastrophe – this time set for February 2013 – scientists suggest confronting asteroid 2012 DA14 with either paint or big guns. The stickler is that time has long run out to build a spaceship to carry out the operation.

­NASA’s data shows the 60-meter asteroid, spotted by Spanish stargazers in February, will whistle by Earth in 11 months. Its trajectory will bring it within a hair’s breadth of our planet, raising fears of a possible collision.

The asteroid, known as DA14, will pass by our planet in February 2013 at a distance of under 27,000 km (16,700 miles). This is closer than the geosynchronous orbit of some satellites.

Scientists have indicated — for quite some time — that this scenario is real and could occur at any point. One has but to watch Discovery or Documentary or History or NatGeo or any number of other satellite channels to have seen a myriad of programs detailing the end of the earth or a massive changing of the earth via meteor or comet strikes.

It is theorized that one such strike completely eliminated the dinosaurs.

Impact crater evidence already exists on our planet:

There is a possibility the asteroid will collide with Earth, but further calculation is required to estimate the potential threat and work out how to avert possible disaster, NASA expert Dr. David Dunham told students at Moscow’s University of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM).

“The Earth’s gravitational field will alter the asteroid’s path significantly. Further scrupulous calculation is required to estimate the threat of collision,” said Dr. Dunham, as transcribed by Russia’s Izvestia. “The asteroid may break into dozens of small pieces, or several large lumps may split from it and burn up in the atmosphere. The type of the asteroid and its mineral structure can be determined by spectral analysis. This will help predict its behavior in the atmosphere and what should be done to prevent the potential threat,” said Dr. Dunham.

The asteroid has proven a bitter discovery. It has been circling in orbit for three years already, crossing Earth’s path several times, says space analyst Sergey Naroenkov from the Russian Academy of Sciences. It seems that spotting danger from outer space is still the area where mere chance reigns, while asteroid defense systems exist only in drafts.

But if the entire asteroid is to crash into the planet, the impact will be as hard as in the Tunguska blast, which in 1908 knocked down trees over a total area of 2,150 sq km (830 sq miles) in Siberia. This is almost the size of Luxembourg. In today’s case, the destination of the asteroid is yet to be determined.

“Tunguska,” you ask? Go here for the Tunguska Event which took place in Russia, 1908.

“It can’t happen here,” we say. “This is specious theory,” we say. “The sky is blue, the sea is green, everything will simply carry on,” we say.

Except when it doesn’t.

Brigitte Gabriel: Sharia Must Be Stopped

Brigitte Gabriel, author of “Because They Hate: A Survivor Of Islamic Terror Warns America” (a book I possess and recommend), and founder of ACT! for America, spoke above at an anti-Shariah conference in Nashville, Tennessee.

This is occurring on our college campuses, our “occupied territories” and — I can personally testify to this — in our jails and prisons as well.

Gabriel points out that Middle Eastern oil dollars are pouring into this country and setting up Islamic study centers and groups with Arab professors whose “culturally-enlightened” views are anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Western and are contrary to the health of our nation, and whose views via Islam conflict with the religious, cultural and societal freedoms of this nation and Western civilization.

Money is pouring in from Saudi Arabia for “Islamic Centers,” political “study” and political “science” departments to, for example:

  • – $20 million dollars to the University of Arkansas;
  • – $5 million dollars to Berkeley;
  • – $22.5 million dollars to Harvard;
  • – $28.1 million dollars to Georgetown;
  • – $11 million dollars to Cornell;
  • – $5 million dollars to M.I.T.;
  • – $1.5 million dollars to Texas A&M;
  • – $1 million dollars to Princeton;
  • – $5 million dollars to Rutgers;
  • – $5 million dollars to Columbia (who tried to conceal the source);

Other universities and colleges include UC Santa Barbara, Johns Hopkins, Rice, America U, U of Chicago, USC, UCLA, Syracuse, Howard, Duke — Ivy League colleges right down to community colleges.

As I’ve written more times than I can count here, you may control America via two venues:

  • – Education, and
  • – SCOTUS

Seems like the Left and Demorats have a good grasp on the educational handle (and with an Obaka Second Term, SCOTUS also), but it seems that Radical Islam is learning on the heels of and with the support of Leftists in America.

Middle schools are not exempt from Islamic propaganda. Textbook manufacturers have taken care to seriously consult with CAIR and other groups linked to terror in order to not be seen to offend or judge. GOWPs [Guilty Overeducated White People] at their idiotic and careless PC best.

Creeping Shariah?

You can bet on it.
