Weekly Financial Updates with Ray Merriman Found Here

Per Merriman Comments for the Week Beginning March 29, 2010: " If last week was a preview of what to expect between late May and September, it is going to a very bizarre period, filled with highly charged emotions and wildly speculative markets. The past ten days have witnessed the translation of the Sun to the forthcoming Saturn-Uranus-Pluto T-square. In late May, early June through next September, all three planets will be in early cardinal signs, along with Jupiter, forming a very rare “Cardinal Climax.” The past ten days have witnessed an historic passage of a very partisan Health Care Reform bill, followed by threats of violence against both supporters and opponents of the bill and a surge in the U.S. stock market to new yearly highs. And instead of rising in concert with stocks and the belief that this new legislation would lead to continued run-away spending and debt, the precious metals fell rather hard.”

Eloi Cole, a strangely dressed young man, said that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world. The LHC successfully collided particles at record force earlier this week, a milestone Mr Cole was attempting to disrupt by stopping supplies of Mountain Dew to the experiment's vending machines. He also claimed responsibility for the infamous baguette sabotage in November last year. Mr Cole was seized by Swiss police after CERN security guards spotted him rooting around in bins. He explained that he was looking for fuel for his 'time machine power unit', a device that resembled a kitchen blender. Police said Mr Cole, who was wearing a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age, would not reveal his country of origin. "Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening."

Israel restricts access to Al-Aqsa mosque for Passover Background: Temple Institute wants to Offer Biblical Passover Sacrifice JERUSALEM: Israel on Monday curbed travel from the West Bank and access to Jerusalem's flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque compound as Jews began to celebrate Passover holidays amid raised tension with the Palestinians. Four Israeli rightwing activists were briefly detained when they tried to make their way to the Old City in annexed east Jerusalem with two goats intended for ritual slaughter, police said.

"This is not a decision that I've made lightly," Obama said at an event at Andrews Air Force base today. "But the bottom line is this: Given our energy needs, in order to sustain economic growth, produce jobs and keep our businesses competitive, we're going to need to harness traditional sources of fuel even as we ramp up production of new sources of renewable, homegrown energy."

March 31, 2010: Ceres the asteroid relates to agriculture and in Capricorn near Pluto their is a major control, restriction and takeover of agriculture. Three-Pronged System Enables GMO Takeover of American Agriculture (NaturalNews) Genetically modified organisms (GMO) or genetically modified crops (GM Foods) are fast becoming the only type of staple crops grown in the United States. Over 90% of soybeans, over 70% of corn, and more are all grown from GM seeds. The number one producer of GM seeds is Monsanto and that company has been busy ensuring it has a strong say in every aspect of agriculture and food labeling in America - one large market shares in every type of seed grown in the U.S. (not just corn and soybeans). NaturalNews readers are not new to the evils of GM foods, of course.1 From immune system problems to organ failure to severe harm to the environment, the negative impacts of GMO seeds and crops are well-documented. If that's the case, then, why is it that they are so common and why do the GMO giants seem to be ever-growing and encroaching on more and more farms and foods?

CNN Attempt To Portray Patriots As Terrorists Backfires, Segment Fails To Air A CNN Anderson Cooper segment which was set to demonize critics of big government and Obamacare as violent extremists backfired after radio host Alex Jones pointed out that corporate media outlets like CNN were responsible for killing over a million Iraqis as a consequence of their repeated lies about weapons of mass destruction. Jones was invited for an interview on Friday to appear later that evening on Anderson Cooper 360, but the segment never aired, presumably because CNN program chiefs were so embarrassed at Jones’ proficiency in exposing how corporate news networks owned by the military-industrial complex were a far deadlier threat than any of the menagerie of domestic “extremists” CNN has sought to demonize in recent weeks.

This really illustrates our current Fulll Moon in Libra in orb of Saturn in Libra (forced political correctness) Comedian to face Human Rights Tribunal VANCOUVER — A comedian whose put-downs of a lesbian and her companion in the audience is hoping she doesn’t have the last laugh at a B.C. Human Rights Commission tribunal this week. Was Guy Earle’s discriminatory verbal assault spurred solely by the woman’s sexual orientation, or was the professional funny man exercising his right to free speech when an audience member wouldn’t settle down? Earle, who’s been a stand-up comic for more than two decades, was the volunteer master of ceremonies at amateur night at a Vancouver restaurant in May 2007. Stand up Guy Earle got into it with a pair of obnoxious lesbians at a show in Vancouver. They disrupted the show and even threw drinks in his face. He dealt with them as you would expect a comedian to do, with ridicule. Under Canada's regime of totalitarian political correctness, this was the equivalent of making fun of belligerent Nazis in occupied France. They can and they have. The Ontario native has been ordered to fly back across the country to accept punishment for his thought crime from a kangaroo court held by the British Columbia Human Rights Commission.

Almost 90 percent of those deaths represent whale calves less than 3 months old, and the calf deaths make up almost a third of all right whale calf sightings in the last five years. "This is the single largest die-off event in terms of numbers and in relation to population size and geographic range," said Marcela Uhart, a medical veterinarian with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). She represents an associate director in Latin America for the WCS Global Health Program. March 30, 2010: So far there are no black holes or spirals in the sky from this latest collision.

TeV stands for Tera electron volt and is a measure of energy. CERN does not know when exactly they will actually detect a collision. As soon as it happens they will hold a media event and offer a live webcast. I am not sure if still some Earthlings believe that this will be the end of the world, but in any case we had a fun ride.

Here are Ray Merriman's MMA Comments for the Week Begining March 29, 2010 "For this coming week, we find a full moon on Monday (and hence the Easter holiday follows on the next Sunday), Venus entering its ruling sign of Taurus on Wednesday, Mercury entering Taurus on Good Friday, the same day that the Sagittarius factor also unfolds. It is a pre-holiday week, and thus we anticipate it will be a period of unreliable technical signals. Normally one would expect stocks to be bullish with Venus moving into Taurus March 31-April 25. But technical studies are way overbought, and a cyclical correction is long overdue. Thus we are in a period where cycle, geocosmic, and technical studies are saying different things at the moment. .

Strong Magnitude 6.4 Quake - ANDAMAN ISLANDS, INDIA REGION Location: 13.616°N, 92.858°E Depth: 45.4 km (28.2 miles) March 30, 2010: Important data regarding ocean currents relates to Neptune now in Aquarius and still in mutual reception to Uranus in Pisces Atlantic 'Conveyor Belt' Not Slowing, NASA Study Finds New NASA measurements of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, part of the global ocean conveyor belt that helps regulate climate around the North Atlantic, show no significant slowing over the past 15 years. The data suggest the circulation may have even sped up slightly in the recent past. The Atlantic overturning circulation is a system of currents, including the Gulf Stream, that bring warm surface waters from the tropics northward into the North Atlantic. There, in the seas surrounding Greenland, the water cools, sinks to great depths and changes direction. What was once warm surface water heading north turns into cold deep water going south. This overturning is one part of the vast conveyor belt of ocean currents that move heat around the globe.

The exuding of ash does not pose any risks for nearby population centers, as no data on the fallout of volcanic dust there has been reported. The belching was not seen visually and scientists drew a conclusion that it had taken place on the basis of information from seismic observation stations located in the vicinity of the volcano. They registered "a surface seismic event at the volcano" having a four minutes' duration.

March 25, 2010: Another example of the dry, hot Sun in Aries TSQ Saturn in Libra (a trade wind hitting at the wrong time) and to Pluto in earthy Capricorn (dust storm) Late dust storm covers Nigeria The yellow haze descended across Nigeria, blotting out the sun, canceling airline flights and coating everything with a fine layer of dust. The sudden storm sparked frightened text messages about supposedly killer acid rain, but meteorologists say the weather comes from the harmattan, a yearly trade wind that brings dust from the Sahara Desert through Nigeria and the rest of West Africa. This year, however, the harmattan has come at an abnormal time, a possible result of global warming. Experts say it may delay the rainy season in Africa's most populous nation and there are worries it may even throw off future seasonal changes. "It is part of the changes of the climate," said Temi Ologunorisa, a professor of climatology at Osun State University. "With the coming of this dust, you cannot have rain."

Scientists say history has proven that when the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupts, Katla follows — the only question is how soon. And Katla, located under the massive Myrdalsjokull icecap, threatens disastrous flooding and explosive blasts when it blows. Saturday's eruption at Eyjafjallajokull (AYA-feeyapla-yurkul) — dormant for nearly 200 years — forced at least 500 people to evacuate. Most have returned to their homes, but authorities were waiting for scientific assessments to determine whether they were safe to stay. Residents of 14 farms nearest to the eruption site were told to stay away.

Iceland prepares for second, more devastating volcanic eruption Iceland is preparing for an even more powerful and potentially destructive volcano after a small eruption at the weekend shot red-hot molten lava high into the sky. About 500 people were safely evacuated from the land close to the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, which is around 120 kilometres (75 miles) southeast of the capital, Reykjavik. The country's two airports were closed for most of the day and transatlantic flights re-routed to avoid the risk of ash blocking visibility and destroying engines. However, the danger is that the small volcano is just the beginning and that it will trigger the far more powerful volcano of Katla, which nestles beneath Myrdalsjoekull.
