Local Community Building the BEST Way to "Make It"

Mitch Battros has a lot to say (elsewhere) about the coming earth changes we may anticipate based on cosmic cycles that are in his words "set in stone" - the same changes that were predicted by the Mayan Calendar. Whether you agree with him or not, changes are afoot, and - as he underlines here - the best way to weather change is to make connections with your local community. In community networks true resilience lies.

Solar Activity to Peak 2012

Russian scientist Dr Alexai Dimitrios postulates that our entire solar system has entered an interstellar energy cloud that is exciting unusually high solar activity. Lawrence Joseph explains the possible implications of increasing solar activity that is currently approaching a long-term peak, set to climax in 2012. At the same time, huge cracks are opening up in our Earth's magnetic field, which normally protects us from solar radiation.

Any technology that relies on satellites may be particularly vulnerable, including mobile phones, telecommunications, fund transfers and military communications networks.

Other possible impacts include meterological effects, and global magnetic disturbances.
