If 'global dimming' is anything remotely resembling reality, the least likely explanation that I can think of is a debris cloud 'hanging around' between the Earth and the Sun. Any amateur astronomer with a solar filter and an occulting disk would be able to see obvious evidence of it. Except I guess for the fact that it is *so secret*. Hey, I have a telescope. Maybe I can get in on the government hush-money gravy train! LOL!

The Earth has been struck by large, fast-moving objects many times in the past. There is plenty of evidence to suggest it.

Where this completely falls apart for me is that *this guy* has the *inside track* on *secret government information* and that all sorts of scientific organizations are being paid to cover it up. Additionally, *parties unknown* are conspiring to silence him.

He says that he used to 'work for the government'. The inference that we're supposed to draw is that he worked for them in a capacity where he'd have been a 'trusted member of the conspiracy of silence', so some sort of research scientist or national security advisor or intelligence type, right? Well, I used to 'work for the government', too. I was a US Marine. I guess I'm in the club of knowing where all of the UFOs are reverse engineered then, huh. Guess I must've been threatened or paid off. Well, I have no income at the moment, to I'll take the dough, hold the threats, thanks. Sheesh.

I watch conspiracy theorists like this, and have for many years. They're full of Kerry, on the whole. I do think that interesting and secret things do happen from time to time. When they do, they're usually more along the lines of the underwater cable-tapping in the Sea of Okhotsk, the lovingly crafted pipeline explosion in Siberia that was the result of the KGB having stolen software that was creatively re-engineered, or some of the incredible stunts pulled by SOG in various parts of SE Asia in the 60s and early 70s.

Yeah, we'll probably eventually get smacked with a flying mountain from deep space that's doing 30 kilometers/sec. Betcha a nickel that it ain't on any of the dates that this guy has guessed.

Hey! that reminds me...I used to work for the government as well! Indeed I know all about their sneaky ways.

-The extra mail they made me carry when I wasn't looking...
-All the stuff they DIDN'T tell me! Like who REALLY shot Kennedy!
-The way they'd mess with the clocks to short us on our breaks!
-The asteroids that are about to SLAM into the earth, destroying all life as we know it.

The sneaks! This is an outrage! I DEMAND reparations when this calamity is over!

Bingo. Two of the three people contacting me work in the intelligence field. The third is another "survivalist" kinda like me. I think he and I differ greatly on our politics. ALL THREE OF THEM gave me the message "this came from a very good source". That tells me they trust the source of the information. For the most part, the information contained in the original post here appeared in my emails (Including, but not limited to the asteroid/comet situation as WELL as the "Navy" comments where the navy is moving a large group of ships. I got a location (China Sea I believe they said, don't have the emails at the moment to refer to) but that was about it. I can't confirm (nor deny) ANYTHING that appeared in the emails. That's usually the case though. There is almost NEVER an originating source (got to protect that, you know!) and locations, times, dates, etc are always "fuzzy". People involved (especially those evil government people keeping secrets) are never named. Those doing the "passing on" never name themselves either.

To me, this is just one more nonsense conspiracy theory being bandied about the internet and it'll die in a few weeks as well. There is one major difference in this and Y2K for instance. Y2K WAS an incident "about to happen". The difference is that a lot of us in the computer industry worked long hours to upgrade machines that were known to have these "bugs". The utilities industries did the same (power plants etc). The FAA upgraded their own systems when it came to air traffic control, and the GPS satellites were "fixed" as well to the best of my knowledge, so "Y2K" as a 'disaster' never happened. But it COULD have. It's simply that the industry was AWARE of what MIGHT happen if they DID NOTHING. So, y2k was a non-issue. Most of these so-called TEOTWAWKI scenarios turn out to be "non-issues" because there are little FACTS to back them up, and when someone comes along and starts pointing out the real facts (like, gosh, no one has discovered or announced such a comet yet!) they are decried by the "believe community" as "being in on the conspiracy, working for the government and being paid off to shut up".

It's all so TYPICAL! (By the way, I wouldn't dump any stocks any time soon, haha, but then again, I am not a financial advisor!) Of course, I AM part of the conspiracy you see, since I work as a contractor for the government. (Richard Hoagland called me a government plant once! lol, that was certainly a nice thing to do, huh? hahaha)
