What NASA does not want you to know, and for good reason.

From the Daily Caller:  A recent CNN report stating that a “giant asteroid” capable of destroying all life on Earth after a collision in 30 years has been taken down from the network’s website after NASA informed the outlet the story was “false.”
Before the post was removed it went viral with more than 200,000 views and said ”the asteroid is calculated to have a potentially lethal encounter with the earth on March 35, 2041.”
In the story’s place is an official statement from CNN retracting the report.
“NASA has confirmed via email that this story is false,” the statement said. “A spokewoman for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory says that the largest object detected by NEOWISE [Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer] measures 3 km in diameter and poses no risk to Earth. The iReport has been removed.”

Editor’s notes:  And the cover-up/deflection of a horizon event, scheduled to hit the earth in  2030/2040, begins.   I have been following this asteroid for several years,  now.  I know it as “Apophis 99942” and you should be able to Google information on this 400 meter rock, under that name. 

Orbit science has this rock missing the Earth in or around 2029,  circling the Sun,  and returning past the Earth a few years later.  It is this second trip,  the “return” (2036), that is the problem.  There is concern that the Sun will alter the asteroid’s trajectory by a degree or two,  causing the rock to return on a collision course with the Earth.  While the CNN article is (probably) over-play as to the impact on “all of humanity,”  still,  if Apophis happens,  the effect on the Western Seaboard will be profound,  a crisis of maga-proportions. 

Of course, there is a political equation to this potential disaster.  Understand that NASA is controlled by the very Progressive wing of our political establishment.  They are untrustworthy,  and willing to advance their brand of politics in the face of any crisis.

And speaking of NASA,  here is a NASA article dealing with this very subject:   http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/apophis/


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.
