Dated January 12, 2000, as relayed on the
            Sightings broadcast
      
      Our predictions for the forthcoming year do not differ greatly from what
      we have stated in the past. This is the year when serious crop failures
      will start. As we stated in 1995, the weather confuses commercial crops,
      not just because of severe and intractable drought but because of the
      drought and deluge swings. Deluges can be devastating, as the recent
      reports coming out of a drowning Central America and their lost crops
      relay. Seeds are washed out of the ground, or rotted in the ground.
      Likewise, as we stated in 1995, very warm winter weather can confuse
      crops. They begin their growth cycle before they should and thus are
      frozen out when winter returns. And likewise there will increasing be very
      cold summers. This is a new angle - very cold summers. This has been
      relayed in the past, in ancient reports of what the Chinese called a world
      cycle, meaning the approach of another pole shift, where snow fell in
      summer. This type of weather change, which will shock the weathermen who
      are trying to explain events in terms of Global Warming, will begin.
      
      We have predicted there will in essence be a complete crop failure for the
      3 years going into the Spring of 2003 [Note:
          see 2003 Date
          explanation]. This means the years of 2000, 2001, and
      2002 will find such devastation to commercial crops that the stores set
      aside by the government for such disasters will be depleted greatly. These
      stores are intended to help those who have been ravaged by hurricanes or
      to rescue some country devastated by drought or locust swarms. Those types
      of rescues overseas are not being done anymore by the US, the doors
      quietly shut, so that it seems to the populace in the US that they are
      fine. They are not fine. Our advice continues to be to have family gardens
      and to rely on oneself. What other types of changes might be experienced
      this coming year?
      
      We mentioned a year ago that tornadoes would be experienced in areas that
      do not experience such tornadoes, and more devastating tornadoes would be
      experienced. This likewise unfolded this past year, and this trend will
      increase to the point where people will be just numbed by the size and
      fury of the tornadoes that will not only go through tornado alley in the
      US but also in other places in the world which simply don’t think in terms
      of needing to protect themselves from such swirling, forceful winds. This
      will continue to be couched in terms of Global Warming, but increasingly
      this explanation will be questioned. Why has there been such a rapid
      upswing? How can one account for a chemical change in the upper atmosphere
      that would do such a thing? Why is devastating cold sweeping down on
      places such as India if Global Warming is the explanation? Where is this
      coming from? Of course it is coming from volcanic upheaval under oceans
      that are causing the El Nino effect to continue, even though it is being
      downplayed, to the point where the air over the oceans is being dragged
      about and warmed and cooled.
      
      We also predict, as we did last year, that there will be high tides. Not
      tsunamis, following earthquakes, but unusual high tides. We also predict
      that there will begin to be reports of whirlpools in the oceans that will
      startle those who have never seen such a thing in the oceans. Likewise, as
      we have predicted in the past, there will be increasing booms and flashes,
      which are caused by underwater earthquakes that cause heaving in the
      oceans such that the air over the dropping water claps. This can happen
      over land, also. We predict that this will increase to the point where
      this is discussed in the coffee rooms and bars of many cities, even though
      it doesn’t get media coverage.
