Midknight Review -- new and revised: Last night, the meteor, Apophis, passed by the earth within 9 million miles; next time, in 2029, it will pass by within 18,000 miles or as close as some of our satellites. The problem is with its 2036 orbit.

I kept track of this meteor (or is it an asteroid?) for two years, but quit posting on this outer space missile when scientists revised their models and determined that Apophis posed no threat to our planet.

Now, with the "drive-by" of Apophis, last night (Jan 9, 2013), speculation has risen as to the possible danger this asteroid poses, again.

With last night's event, we have learned that Apophis is not 826 feet wide, but 1066 feet wide (or more than three football fields in width).

We, also, know that scientists have renewed concerns about what the future holds.

What is happening is this: in 2029, Apophis will visit our region of outer space, again, this time missing our planet by 22,000 miles as it heads for its run around the Sun. You should know that we have satellites at this distance from Earth.

That journey will find its path through space altered, because of the gravitational pull of the Sun. As it circles around the backside of the Sun and "slingshots" back to where it came from, past the Earth, there is the possibility that it could be on a collision course with Earth.

As I remember the info I read, back in 2008 (it was discovered in 2004), it would strike earth out in the Pacific, on a line south of California. Of course, there would be a tidal wave as never seen in modern times with a huge loss of life, involving all of the West Coast and across the ocean, in Asia. All of the Japanese islands could be destroyed as well as the Koran Peninsula.

Point of post: keep an eye on this matter, understanding that the "authorities" will be inclined to tell the public one thing, when something very different is about to happen.

You might want to move east of the Rockies.

Our Earth has not been effectively unchanged for thousands of years. Maybe change is about to take place.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
