10 Very Strange Things That Have Happened In Just The Past Few Weeks
Submitted by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,
Have you noticed that events have begun to accelerate? Over the past few weeks, things have officially started to get very weird. Chinese stocks are crashing, the Greek debt crisis is spiraling out of control, the New York Stock Exchange was down for about four hours on Wednesday thanks to a “technical glitch”, and global politicians have been acting very strangely. After several years of relative calm, could it be possible that the second half of 2015 will usher in a time of chaos and confusion on a worldwide scale? Personally, I have never been more concerned about a period of time as I am about the last six months of 2015. And if I am right, what we have seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg. The following are 10 very strange things that have happened in just the past few weeks…
#1 On Wednesday, the New York Stock Exchange, United Airlines and the Wall Street Journal were all taken down by unexpected “technical glitches“. Authorities are assuring us that hackers were not responsible for any of this.
#2 In China, a full-blown stock market crash is unfolding. The Shanghai Composite Index has plummeted more than 30 percent in less than a month, and the Chinese version of the NASDAQ has dropped by more than 40 percent. The amount of “paper wealth” that has been lost in China is 15 times greater than the GDP of Greece.
#3 Just the other day, hackers were able to hack into a German surface-to-air missile battery…
Well, this is absolutely terrifying. According to The Local, hackers attacked a German Patriot surface-to-air missile battery, like the one shown above, stationed along the Turkish-Syria border. The cyber attack caused the battery to carryout “unexplained” orders.
It’s believed that cyber attackers managed to exploit the Patriot battery in two different ways. The first exploit was through the Sensor-Shooter-Interoperability, which controls interactions between the actual, physical missile launcher and its control system, while the other was on the guidance chip. These weaknesses could have allowed the hackers to steal data or, more worryingly, actually take control of the battery.
#4 Earlier this week, Barack Obama told reports that “we’re speeding up training of ISIL forces“…
#5 Just a few days ago, the U.S. Mint announced that they were sold out of American Eagle silver coins on the exact same day that the price of silver hit a new low for 2015. How does that make any sense?
#6 On June 30th, an unexpected blood moon was seen over a significant portion of the United States. The following is an excerpt from a recent article by Caiden Cowger…
On June 30, 2015, a surprise blood moon appeared in the sky, that was only seen in the United States.
According to the National Weather Service, large wildfires in Canada have been burning. Due to extremely high winds, smoke from these fires have traveled into the United States.
According to NBC-Chattanooga, “the smoke should remain in the higher atmosphere and not affect air quality, it gives the moon and sun a rosy glow.
Here’s what causes the effect:
As light from the moon or sun enters the atmosphere it gets scattered by particles like water, aerosols, and in this case smoke. Green, blue, and purple colors are sent in all directions but colors with longer wavelengths like red, orange and yellow continue through the atmosphere and remain visible to the human eye.”
#7 Even though NASA recently stated that they know of “no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with Earth” and that “no large object is likely to strike the Earth any time in the next several hundred years“, NASA has teamed up with the National Nuclear Security Administration to try to figure out a way to use nuclear weapons to destroy asteroids that are threatening our planet. If there is no threat, why spend so much time and energy on this?
#8 A couple of weeks ago, we learned that Barack Obama has issued 19 “secret directives“. What is Obama planning, and why won’t he let the general public know about it?
#9 This week, Pope Francis called for the creation of “a new economic and ecological world order where the goods of the Earth are shared by everyone, not just exploited by the rich.” So exactly what would such a “world order” look like?
#10 The Greek people just overwhelmingly voted to reject austerity, so EU officials have responded by giving the Greek government a one week deadline to come to an agreement that will include even more austerity for the Greek people. If the Greek government does not submit, EU officials are threatening them with bankruptcy, the collapse of their banking system and expulsion from the euro.
Things promise to only get stranger from here. One week from today, on July 15th, a massive military exercise known as “Jade Helm” begins. More than 1,000 members of the U.S. military will be taking part in drills that will be conducted in the states of Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, California, Mississippi and Florida.
Then in September comes the end of the Shemitah year, the fourth blood moon of this tetrad, the launch of a radical new sustainable development agenda at the United Nations that is being endorsed by the Pope, and a vote on a UN Security Council resolution that would formally establish a Palestinian state.
And that is just the stuff that we know about.

Awww, why the long face?
It's the Shemitah. When this sucker hits around September...October, you're going to see some serious shit.
How does a nuclear weapon work in space without air, or water to carry the shock wave? Are there any physicists in the gallery that can put this into layman's terms for me?
gives off lots & lots of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation and highly accelerated atomic particles. Can cause EMP if detonated in the right location near Earth.
... and the surface of an asteroid can carry a shock wave.
I can relate to the EMP functions, but what transmits the shock wave to the surface of the asteroid? A nuclear warhead is essentialy a couple of pieces of fissile material that are smased into each other using conventional explosives. This material starts a chain reaction that sends releases a huge amount of heat, and nuclear bric-a-brac into the surrounding environment causing an immediate rapid temperature rise - which generates a destructive shock wave that is transmitted through the atmosphere/ocean. Wouldn't detonating a nuclear weapon on an asteroid just form a hot spot on the surface?
Good questions actually.
Is that why they had to send Ben Affleck and a crazy Russian to drill some holes first?
Wouldn't detonating a nuclear weapon on an asteroid just form a hot spot on the surface?
That will depend upon how large the asteroid is and how large the Nuke is.
If the asteroid ejects molten material, a loss of mass, then the result will also cause a change in the velocity (an acceleration or deceleration) and will affect the Orbital Trajectory, hopefully altering the course enough to avoid collision..
movo = mfvf
where
mo > mf and thus, correspondingly, vo < vf
and
mo is Initial Mass.
mf is Final Mass,
vo is Initial Velocity
and
vf is Final Velocity
Conservation of Momentum
High School Physics.
I hope that this answers your question.
so if I understand you correctly, the goal is to trigger a volcano that causes the asteroid to eject a significant amount of material into space?
bluskyes...Hopefully you get this.
Eh..Not exactly.
Asteroids are not geologically active thus there is no vulcanism.
But if they can reduce the mass significantly enough to alter the course then the collision may be avoided.
Of course the Heat and forces generated by a Nuke Blasts will make the material molten and more pliable thus lead to ejection
So they are hoping that some of the material will leave the comet.
Ya, gee, I don't know. Why don't you ask the SUN and all the billions of STARS in our own galaxy,
how they work? Take Astronomy 101 and LEARN SOMETHING, MORON.
The SUN is a nuclear fusion reactor (at its core), converting Hydrogen into Helium. It is in an equilibrium state between gravitational forces
and the constant nuclear fusion explosions. When it runs out of Hydrogen to burn, in a few billion years, it will burn Helium and convert that, instead.
This will cause a change in the equilibrium between the nuclear fusion processes and gravity, and our Sun will become a RED GIANT, engulfing the Earth's orbit.
"So how can a nuclear explosion occur in space?" God, you're an idiot.
His question reduced to, "How will a Nuclear Explosion on the surface of an asteroid alter its course?"
Furthermore he asked for an answer by someone with a clue. It was AN HONEST QUESTION and not worthy of any ridicule.
Instead of answering his question you retort to a description of Nuclear Fusion, the balance between Nuclear Forces and Gracitational Forces keeping that Fusion Reactor some 93 Million Miles away, on average, from us, in an average stasis. (The Sun is a Variable after all and it is not in true stasis.)
Did you not know the answer and, because of your own feelings of inadequacy, feel the need to resort to unwarranted ridicule instead of answering the damned question?
If you want the answer then read my post above.
"The SUN is a nuclear fusion reactor (at its core),."
BZZZZZT
El Wrongo, go sit in the corner for a time out.
An astroid stike will help the gold price FOR SURE!!! ...but with my luck, the asteroid will be solid gold. :(
They forgot about CERN going back online
Tyler you missed the BRICS
He forgot to mention ZeroHedge was down the other day.
I'm surprised that for all the cleverness between Mike and ZH bloggers, that no one has yet offered the utterly simple and obvious reason for #7.
Let me know when you're ready to cry 'Uncle'. [tick tock]
Uncle!
Usual boondoggle? Actually true? Diversion of funds to elite off-world escape pod? Crash-an-asteroid-into-Russia weapon?
Uncle!
Mike's #7 comment is intended to scare people into thinking that an asteroid is on its way. Hence his mention of NASA preps with NNSA to figure out how to protect Earth from such an event, whilst also saying that they know of no asteroid or comet being on a collision course with Earth.
Mike may be right, but in truth the two NASA statements are not contradictory, it's just that he chooses to imply they are to ratchet up the fear factor.
Not knowing of any ansteroids doesn't mean squat. Think. There have been a few recently that came unusually close to earth. What was starting when the stories appeared was how recently they'd been detected. Just cuz they aren't known about today don't mean we won't know about them tomorrow.
Right. Which may explain why NASA is working with NNSA to find out how to prevent such a disaster or how to mitigate one.
Zero Hedge...this shit's beneath you.
So, Kill The Messenger because the stories are all true?
Perhaps you need to WAKE THE HELL UP.
I knew when the "Crop Circles" stopped we were in trouble. They now rule among us and are taking us down. NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
BLOOD MOONS??
REALLY?
One thing that many people don't understand is that at the end of the day, Putin, Xi Jinping, Obama, Merkel, Hollande et all are all on the same team. One side (Obama, Merkel, Hollande, etc) is set up as the "thesis", the other side (Putin, Jinping, etc) is set up as the "antithesis", and the resulting confrontation produces the New World Order that the Illuminati and other elites have been working towards for years. This list has just ramped up the timeline quite a few notches. I've been saying to a few people now that I think the next GFC is highly likely to happen this year, and I'm thinking September/October is the most probable timeframe for it. It's another reason why I've been trying to get myself ready for it, physically, mentally and spiritually (getting closer to God). For the Christians that read this site, one thing I would recommend doing is stocking up on Bibles in addition to other prep items, because when everything crashes there's going to be a tremendous opportunity to share the Gospel with people, and we need to take that opportunity, because I for one don't want to see people not having that chance to get right with God, especially so close to Jesus' returning.
One thing that I have noticed for people that are into prepping, is that by and large they are only looking out for themselves and their families. That's a good thing to do, but it's pretty much just being selfish. Once the crash hits there's going to be so many people in need that are otherwise just going to starve. I believe that if they've had warnings about this stuff happening and haven't bothered to prepare, then they should be left to their fate, but for those who haven't heard anything about what's going to happen, we should endeavour to try to help them, even if it's not as much as we would like. I don't know if I'll have enough supplies to be very effective in this regard, but I can at least try.
...sorry, what religion is God again? I forgot.
I'm all for freedom of speech. I hope you don't mind me laughing at you while you bang on though.
Cheers!
Unfortunately you started that post in italics and now I cannot give you a thousand green arrows.
As he is stocking up on Bibles, I am stocking up on condoms, because when everything crashes, I will be banging good christian wifes all the way to hell. How does the Bible said this would go down?
"One loaf of bread for one good blow job" - Philister the Greek Chapter 1, verse 7.
"Stocking up on bibles..."????? To use as toiet paper you mean? Seems like a good idear mate but it might chuff a few folks who could take it wrong.....
Something weird also happening in the cryptocurrency trading world. Litecoin, a Bitcoin "competitor" had a higher trading volume than BTC over the past 24hrs - 51 million USD against 44 million for BTC. That never happened before. Also Peercoin has raised over 70% in the last 24 hours. 70%! You think the China stock market is crazy, its nothing compared to crypto... Also the most weird thing is that these are surges detached from BTC price increase and that is also a first, BTC only up 1.6% over the past 24hrs. Things change quick tho.
I stopped reading at #6...
Zerohedge, or Anonymous Blogger sounding more and more like the Jehovah's Witnesses doom sect. Predicting Armageddon for over 120 years! YEEEAAAAHHHHH.....nothing happens. Every year is "the worst year of human history". Yeah right.
What the fuck does the moon, ancient calendars and the Pope have in common? Exactly. Nothing. Greece was supposed to be the "Nuclear option" and they are signing into a new Troika programm as I type. My best mate is right now in Thessaloniki (he is a German married to a Greek woman) and says weather is great, coffee shops are full and he is having a good time. Asked me if I wanted to hop there for a couple of days.
I am coming here only for the entertainment value. Like reading Cracked or Somethingawful.
#9, Michael is sincerely distressed about the rich not being able to fleece the poor anymore.
So much for the "love" he says rules his vision. Love, yes, but for Goldman Sachs.
You unwashed make yourselves unconspicuous and hand whatever you have in your pockets and under your mattress to your lords and masters, otherwise the end of the world is nigh.
BTW, how is it Protestant nutters are always forecasting the end of the world?
On another note, one would have to live on planet Mars not to see that something is about to give, but what we're witnessing is only the slow-motion collapse of a demented financial system.
I see very little connection between most of these 10 strange things and several of them are plain barmy. Blood moons?
Individually, some of them have merit and raise suspicions, but there is no clear connection between them to claim that some single catastrophic event is about to happen which we are being kept in the dark about.

That said, I do believe that can-kicking is fast coming to the end of the road and the ruling elites have finally realised what has been known on ZH for several years: that the current economic model with its QE, market manipulation, bail-outs/bail-ins and God knows what else is flawed, unsustainable, hasn't worked and must be replaced by something different. What that is, is anyone's guess. A massive confiscation of personal wealth to fund a global Big Reset? This implies a move to totalitarian government run by appointed elites.
The end of the movie "Thelma and Louise" comes to my mind.
Just like 9-11, just a lot of coincidenses that tin hat folks dwell on. So, what are the odds against two airplanes hitting two buildings and three buildings falling down in their own footprint --
How about the S&P gaining 18.00 points in 20 minutes after yesterday's close on absolutely zero news.
No manipulation here. Nope, none at all.
Nothing really stands out from this list as significant.
Last year it was banker suicides, Greece ( again ), and war with Russia over the Ukraine. The more things change the more they stay the same.
And the most important:
#11: Ariana Grande licked someone's donut.
I had a dream last night that she licked my wee-wee
It's nice to see so many delightful theories and questions in one list.
Stay paranoid, Bro! Your readers love you! Fire
Looks the same to me. There's always this many news events so one can only question their severity, as considered with how honest that news even is. In that light I see no real change. Not for many years.
