California 5.4 Earthquake Rocks Region

City of Chino Hills

A 5.4 magnitude earthquake shook southern California on Tuesday, spooking millions from Los Angeles to San Diego in a juddering reminder of the region's vulnerability to seismic shocks.

No major injuries or damage were reported following the quake, which struck at 11:42 a.m. near Chino Hills, 33 miles east of Los Angeles at a depth of 7.6 miles.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said the region had been lucky to avoid a major disaster.

Television images showed buildings swaying and cans and bottles tumbling from store shelves.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

Officials at Los Angeles International Airport said that after initial inspections, operations were running as normal and that no flight schedules had been affected.

Phone services were "maxed out" in the immediate aftermath of the quake, as people scrambled to phone friends and family.

Future Prediction by Juseleeno Nobulega Da Roose (Jucelino)

Some of his predictions for 2008 include:

◎ 2008

● successful development of effective drugs for treatment of AIDS disease and Dengue fever

● 18 of July: 8.1 earthquake in Philippines; thousands of people dead.

● Sept: terrorist attacks at the New York Empire State Building

● 13 of Sept: Super-strong 9.1 earthquake in China; epicenter in Nanning and Hainan Island; also results in over 30 meters of tsunami costing millions of lives; likely to devastate Japan as well.

Editor’s note: 12th of May and 13th of Sept are only a few months apart; at least he got the year correct but the magnitude of the destruction has been scaled down. Or could it mean that there will be another more devastating earthquake in Sept in China? It is mentioned on a forum in Jan 2008 that although this huge 9.1 earthquake happens after the Olympics ends in August 2008, there will be a series of relatively ’smaller’ earthquakes occurring in China before this huge earthquake.

This suggests that the recent 7.9 mag Sichuan earthquake is only one of those ’smaller’ earthquakes which precede the mega 9.1 mag earthquake in Sept 2008. Scary thought isn’t it? Only time can tell…

Some of his predictions for 2009-2050 include:

◎ 2009

● 25th of Jan: an 8.9 mag earthquake in Kobe and Osaka, hundreds of thousands of people will be killed.

● Nov: another major earthquake will occur in Japan again, thousands of people dead.

● Economic crisis causes delays in payment of pension and insurance funds in Brazil; city and prison riots rampant.

● 24th of Aug: 8.9 mag earthquake in Istanbul of Turkey; the streets will be devastated.

● 16th of Dec: Sumatra 7.8 mag earthquake in Indonesia’s Sumatra Islands in the East; thousands of people dead.


◎ 2010

● average temperature of the African nations could be as high as 58 degrees Celsius; severe water shortages and droughts.

● 15th of May: New York stock market collapses, the world’s economy plunges into major crisis.

◎ 2011

● research into effective treatment of cancer successful, but a new disease will emerge. This deadly virus is named ”ALS”; if infected with the virus, one can die in as short as just four hours.

● H5N1 strain of bird flu infects humans; pandemic causes more than 3 million humans to perish by 2013.

◎ 2012

● massive desertification occurs from 2015 to 2020, leading to disappearance of a large part of amazon.

● from 6th Dec, the sky worldwide begins to turn gloomy: An ominous event which precedes dramatic earth changes and widespread and severe natural calamities.

● dramatic spread of infectious diseases signifies beginning of human extinction.

◎ 2013

● research into effective treatment of cancers (other than brain tumour) successful.

● violent eruption of volcano on Bahamas Island of the West Indies (islands near Caribbean Sea) from 1st to 25th of November, triggering unprecedented 150m high tsunami which travel rapidly to devastate large coastal areas of US, Brazil, etc. with about 80m high water waves. These huge killer waves will travel inland for about 20 km, causing tremendous loss of lives. Before the onset of the tsunami, sea level in the affected areas will drop by about 6 m and mass migration of birds will be observed.

◎ 2014

● scientists discover that the slowly approaching asteroid 2002 NT7 might be on a colliding course with the Earth; if so, will lead to an unprecedented castastrophe which threatens the existence of mankind.

◎ 2015

● Nov: the average temperature of the Earth could be as high as 59 degrees Celsius and the resulting heat waves will kill scores; world will become more chaotic after this.

◎ 2016

● mid April: powerful typhoon(s) strike China’s metropolis; causing widespread damage and leaving about 1,000 people dead.

● U.S. (Ex) President George W. Bush will be rushed to hospital and face life-threatening crisis.

◎ 2018

● leaders and scientists of the world largest countries in heated disputes amidst discussions on ways to avert the ‘colliding asteroid’ disaster.

(Note: Jucelino had already, in 2000, foreseen the forthcoming disaster and had warned the NASA of the existence of this asteroid. NASA had confirmed its existence and had named the asteroid ”2002 NT7” on 31st June 2002. From news on the web,

“On July 9, 2002, the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research Project (an MIT Lincoln Laboratory program funded by the United States Air Force and NASA) in New Mexico detected a 1.2-mile-wide (2 km) asteroid. It has an orbit around our sun of 837 days, and early calculations indicate there is a small chance that this asteroid will collide with Earth on February 1, 2019 … Asteroid 2002 NT7 has the potential to strike the Earth at over 64,000 mph and delivering and explosive force of 1.2 million megatons of TNT. The result of an impact by 2002 NT7 would be destruction of ‘biblical proportions’.”

◎ 2019

● scientists may develop an ingenious way to avert the asteriod catastrophe; but if a collision results, one-third of the world population will perish. Jucelino predicted a probability of about 60 percent.

● major quake (more powerful than the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake) on eastern coast of Japan, leading to widespread destruction.

◎ 2025

● new asteroid discovered; 80% chance of colliding with the earth

◎ 2026

● Great San Francisco Earthquake (The Big One) will occur due to rupture of the San Andreas Fault. California will be destroyed. Many dormant volcanoes in the region will become active once again. An unprecedented tsunami of over 150 meters in height will be triggered.

Editor’s note: The well-known American prophet and mystic, Edgar Cayce had also predicted a similar event. In his words, Edgar Cayce prophesied (before 1940)

“The earth will be broken up in the western portion of America. The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea… Land will appear off the east coast of America… Portions of the now east coast of New York, or New York City itself, will in the main disappear. The sea apparently covered all of the western part of the country,”

◎ 2043

● only about 20% percent of the current world population remains. Many had perished in the natural calamities.

Editor’s note:

Mr. Juseleeno Nobulega Da Roose is a Brazilian, born in 1960, 48 years of age and currently a vocational school teacher. He can accurately predict future events with unbelievable precision (including the year, month and day and has made attempts to systematically document his predictions everytime he wakes up from his ‘prophetic dreams’. If the prediction concerns an ordinary individual, he will simply write a letter to warn him or her. If the prediction concerns a large number of people (or an important individual) and can have serious repercussions such that it warrants serious attention, he will send letters to the concerned agencies, governments, etc.

He mentioned that he began to have visions of future events in his dreams when he was still a child of nine years in 1969. Such dreams came naturally to him. He predictions are known to be unusually accurate. An outstanding example is afforded by his prediction of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. He had sent a letter to the Indian Ambassador in Brazil to warn of the event eight years before it actually occurred in 1996. It was stated in the letter that “he predicted an 8.9 mag earthquake will occurr on December 26, 2004 in Indonesia’s Aceh. Indonesia and India will be devastated by a tsunami 10 meters high. Similar letters were also sent to the Thai, Phillipino, Indonesian embassies in Brazil. Ample proofs are provided by the time stamps on the letters.

Unfortunately, appropriate actions were not taken by the authorities. Predictions (especially those that arise from prophetic dreams) are almost always treated with a high level of suspicion and skepticism since they lie in the realm of pseudoscience. However, there is still so much that science cannot explain. See for example the double-slit paradox in quantum physics.

Mr Juseleeno made known his predictions in the hope that people will take heed of his warnings so that these disasters can be averted. (From the Buddhist point of view, awareness of such predictions can have a subconscious influence on the course of future events. Our physical environment is intimately connected to not only our actions but even to our thoughts). He hopes there will be a major change in mindsets of people in the time period leading up to 2008.

Both Juseleeno and John Croino (another well-known but elusive prophet) predicted major seismic activities and climatic changes in the years after 2007. John Croino mentioned:

“Then from mid-2007, the shock of events and disasters will increase month by month, worse storms, more violent seismic activity, bizarre and terrifying ominous events that seem to foretell of some great change brewing. Most people will not truly realise even a hint of bad it will become until late 2008. Every year from 2007 until 2014, will be increasingly nightmarish, with the peak period being 2012-2014. The sky will be dark in those places for long enough to truly frighten people and damage crop yields.”

Note that Juseleeno also predicted unusually dark and gloomy skies over large parts of the earth starting from 2012. The parallels between the two sets of prophecies are simply too overwhelming.

John Croino's Prophecies

Male Sterility (2050)

By 2050, more than 99% of human males will be sterile…..there will not be a future of overcrowded cities and overpopulation.

Instead, the human race will be facing it’s own extinction. The big problem of the late 21st Century will not be too many people, but too few ….

John Croino's Prophecies

Indonesian economic boom (2040-2043)

These are the years when the nation of Indonesia, particularly the people of Java and Sumatra will be their most wealthy, having influence and power over a vast region of the world.

It is sad that the boom is as short-lived, as it is dramatic. The golden age doesn’t last long, for in 2043 the crash of the market shares destroys the illusionary wealth.

John Croino's Prophecies

Beginnings of insurgency in Spain (2012)

Major unrest, rioting, bombings, and many deaths. This is going to be covered-up by the EU-dominated & censored European media, particularly as the violent atrocities on both sides becomes extreme.

It will probably be a real test for the EU’s “Eurocrats” who constantly try to eliminate all the colour and independence of the local ethnic cultures that really are the core of Europe. It may be a major part of the eventual downfall of the EU, but it will be the much later problems in Germany that will be the historically recorded turning-point that tears the EU apart in the 2030s.

John Croino's Prophecies

Civil Unrest in Germany (2033 onward)

Terrorist attacks in Germany resulting from racist reactions against Muslims will lead to serious instability in the nation’s unity, eventually these instabilities and unrest spread across Europe from East to West, until by the late 2040s, the European Union will have ceased to exist as a political entity.

John Croino's Prophecies

Increasing Civil Unrest in Southern China (2008 to 2010)

…leading to what some might call a “civil war” that will last many years in the south and west in rural areas. USA is a major factor in this situation occurring (as the government of the USA and military-related corporations sponsor so-called “democratic-independence” groups and corrupted military leaders) as they see China’s economic power as dangerous.

There is Russian military involvement in the North-West due to oil (the pipeline and discovered resources), and Russian organized crime intrudes in that region as well.

John Croino's Prophecies

War with Iran (late 2008)

The signs are already there, but the USA will attack Iran, later than most expect, and a lot less successfully than the war-mongers in the governments of the USA and Israel wrongly assumed.

This will be a conflict which severely damages the USA’s credibility as a world power, and destroys the illusion of American military superiority and prowess. It will NOT be a trigger for WW-3 as many mistakenly believe even as it seems the start of a period of many wars that will upset the world economy and gradually reduce trade worldwide, although it will be a trigger for eventual economic disaster for the USA that will shatter the power of the Western-dominated paradigm.

World weather will become extremely volatile after this time, as if it was spiritually connected to political events and humanity’s reaction to those events.

John Croino's Prophecies

USA attacks North Korea in a staged “incident” (mid 2008)

To fit their agenda for an eventual war against Iran to support Israeli interests, the leaders of the power faction in the government of the USA attempt to arrange a trigger event for a skirmish with the DPRK (North Korea).

This is to politically blunt the accusations that the USA is only serving Israeli interests by always attacking Arab nations and Muslims. The government of the USA will attempt to claim that North Korea is to blame for the skirmish, and the attack on North Korean nuclear facilities is alleged to be “retaliation” for an attack by North Korea on US Navy vessels (an aircraft-carrier).

In truth, the USA attacked first, and the North Koreans retaliated with the sinking/crippling of a US Navy vessel ( John believes it will be an obsolete aircraft carrier with the potential for around 4,000 casualties (dead and injured) that is used as the “trigger event” (excuse) for war.

John Croino's Prophecies

Economic Chaos (During 2008)

Many have seen this coming for a long time, since 2004 at least, but in 2008 the problems with the USA’s economy and the US Dollar reach the cliff. There will be many important high level meetings in governments around the world, but the most important will not be in Europe or the USA, but will be in China and Japan. Secret discussions behind closed doors, rumoured meetings with Russian government representatives.

Nations worldwide have turned hostile to the USA’s corruption and bullying. In March 2008, an important decision is made in the Japanese and Chinese governments. 2 weeks later there are discussions and secret meetings with finance corporations in Asia, as the Asian governments decide how to protect their economies. There will be a quietness in the markets, a combination of fear of the coming storm of chaos, and worries as to what the governments will decide. The employment situation will become depressing, new jobs failing to appear as companies worry about their likely need to lay-off staff in the next few months anyway.

Then in June-July 2008, the markets will seem to go crazy to with chaotic rises and falls, mad speculation and panic. For a short time, it might appear that the US Dollar will maintain it’s hegemony as the international currency of choice, but from August onward, the US Dollar’s real value drops steadily and rapidly, dragging down all currencies that are dependent on it. A new “Great Depression” will become obvious to even the most common of people in the industrialised nations.

By December 2008, it will be a very depressing time for most, with no real job stability, companies going bankrupt so often that almost no employment could be guaranteed in the private sector. The social disruption will be devastating, expect the worst.

John Croino's Prophecies

Civil Unrest in Australia (2005?-2008)

The signs are already there that some kind of violent civilian unrest, almost on the level of an insurrection is very likely to occur. John Croino has foreseen car-bombs and bombings of buildings, fire-bombings, eventually armed conflict with police and security guards, soon increasing to a point where the Australian governments will be calling for the Army to be used.

The first of this civil unrest should start in 2005 with rioting in Sydney involving the Lebanese community, but he placed a question-mark on this year because the government will be trying extremely hard to avoid the conflict’s occurrence through trickery, propaganda, and lots of blatant lies…which are very unlikely to work.

From Christmas time in 2007, the civil unrest will become impossible to hide as it will suddenly grow. Brawls spilling out onto the streets becoming riots that the police will have to deal with in large numbers (20 cars or more). The unrest will continue to increase through 2008 to 2010.

Again, most likely involving the Lebanese community in Sydney as a trigger, though it’s not theirs to be blamed as they are merely expressing the tip if iceberg of the undercurrent of anger among men in the general public in Australia. It will eventually be much greater than rioting and involve almost every ethnic group in the eastern cities of Australia, particularly in Sydney’s poorer suburbs.

Gangs will take the violence to a much greater scale, the police will not be able to cope, and the army will have to be called in. In the long run, the unrest and it’s results will change the Australian national government, but it will be two decades before people see the most truly positive results of this.

Curiously enough, 2005 to 2007 are years of great wealth & power for Australia in all other ways – but the Rich versus Poor gap will be intolerable to far too many people. The Australian government should no longer be considered stable from this point onward for a dozen years.

John Croino's Prophecies

Major Climate Chaos and Dramatic Seismic Activity (2003-2007, then it really takes off)

The years from 2003 onward are going to be increasingly active with chaotic weather disasters, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions. Many will trace this from 2001, but it’s from 2003 that it’s most obvious. 2005 is a particularly bad year for this, getting worse and worse until people expect terrible things to be a monthly occurrence, but then 2006 will the quiet before the storm when the world will seem to wait in expectation. Very little will happen in 2006, no major wars start, and just the preliminaries for the storm to come.

Then from mid-2007, the shock of events and disasters will increase month by month, worse storms, more violent seismic activity, bizarre and terrifying ominous events that seem to foretell of some great change brewing. Most people will not truly realise even a hint of bad it will become until late 2008. Every year from 2007 until 2014, will be increasingly nightmarish, with the peak period being 2012-2014. Prepare access to clean water, stockpile food which can last. In some regions it will be advisable to stockpile at least filter-masks and goggles due to volcanic ash falls from some huge volcanic eruptions. If you live in Tokyo, move to the west and away from the sea. Avoid Mount Fuji. Fishermen will soon find summer fish during the winter in Tokyo bay.

The same advice is good if you live in the Southern hemisphere, but Australia will have other problems besides being angry at New Zealand for things that New Zealanders have no control over. The sky will be dark in those places for long enough to truly frighten people and damage crop yields.

It’s a pity that very few scientists realise how much the magnetic field changes of the Sun can affect volcanic activity on Earth. The Sun is like Earth’s mother, and Mother is going to be in a bad mood for a few very frightening years.

John Croino's Prophecies

Beginnings of Last Oil Crisis (late 2004)

Oil production overall world-wide is reaching it’s peak and by mid-2004 will have topped-out, thereafter it’s all downhill for total world oil production.

Part of the problem is that oil reserves have been overestimated by poor science influenced by corporate greed, with many oil reserves being much, much less than was expected or advertised.

Some producers will begin to admit that their oil reserves were only 1/10th of what they had previously expected.

News of this will quietly begin to creep through the meetings of those with power & privilege, but not be noticed in the public media until late 2005.

Kerosene and Natural Gas prices will climb from Dec 2004 onwards. Until 2010, this news will be barely commented upon publicly.

The nations with the greater oil reserves will also change, as deep core drilling finds oil (at greater expense and difficulty) in regions not previously known for having large oil reserves.

John Croino's Prophecies

John Croino is slowly becoming well-known in Australia, South-East Asia, China, South Korea, and Japan for his useful advice and close to 100% accurate predictions about future events.

His main fields of expertise for his predictive abilities & advice are related to international influences on business, social & political change, and major world-shaking events (which he tends to see by their influence rather than directly).

Strong psychic abilities are normal in his family, on both sides, and if someone were to tell him that such abilities were only superstitions, he’d probably look at them as if they were quite blind to the real world, and perhaps mad.

Enoki Mushroom Prevents Cancer

Also known as: Velvet Shank Mushrooms

Golden-needle-mushroom (Jin-Gen-Goo) successfully kills 95% of cancer cells ( Taiwan Report) (Hokkien KIM CHIAM KOR)

Research done by Singapore University shows that eating this mushroom can destroy 95% of cancer cells in our body by boosting our immune system.

Professor Phan Hwai Chong of Yang Ming Research Centre in Taiwan told reporter that consuming this kind of mushroom, one of the ingredients in the mushroom can trigger the multiplication of our healthy 'defensive' cells. By out-numbering the cancers cells, healthy cells help eradicate cancer cells.

American scientists have since run tests on this particular type of mushroom extract with blood, done outside human body. Results show that mushroom extract is able to destroy cancer cells. According to Taiwan professor, since healthy 'fighting' cells can be multiplied to tens & thousands of times, it can either be used as drip or just by eating mushroom.

The mushroom is most frequently taken with steam boat. Cooking time should be less than 3 minutes, or the healing property would greatly diminish.

Normal eating for Health:- Preparation, uses, and tips
Before using enoki mushrooms, rinse them thoroughly and trim off the roots at the base of the cluster. Enoki mushrooms can be eaten raw or cooked.. Add them to salads, sandwiches, soups, pasta sauces, and stir-fried rice and vegetable dishes. To retain the delicate flavor of the mushrooms, add them at the end of the cooking process.

Buying and storing tips
When purchasing fresh enoki mushrooms, select mushrooms with firm, white, shiny caps. Avoid purchasing enoki mushrooms with slimy or brownish stalks. Enoki mushrooms keep up to 14 days in the refrigerator if stored in a paper bag. (you should try storing veggies or fruits in those aluminum foil bags that you throw away if you do buy Milo or quaker oats in packages type; it seems they can keep them longer and fresher; test to confirm??? Keep one end open and not seal it tight.)

Varieties
Most commercially available enoki mushrooms are the pale white cultivated variety.

It's the 6th of July, a Sunday morning, I was finally at JFK International Airport. Queuing up to check in baggages. And so two months in New York passed in the blink of an eye.

In fact, as I wait here I can't help but think myself quite lucky, because I've just spent a great couple of months in New York City. By next month starting work and beginning another interesting chapter of my life. Will see how that goes but rest assured that I made the most of NYC, so the next couple of entries will be dedicated to my spare time here.
