A map, only a map. Because Manica doesn't have enough photos in the internet.
ÁFRICA, MOZAMBIQUE. In Manica province, Mozambique, near the border with Zimbabwe, a strange drug is addicting, especially - pregnant women. The substance is called "dust of sand" - because according to reports, their appearance and consistency are the same of the sand. However, the dependence that it provokes indicates that there is something more and malignant in this sand.
The drug is sold at fairs, open air markets. It comes wrapped in small packages of plastic and stays exposed amid the blankets, shoes and hats for babies. This practice facilitates both the purchase, for those that are already addicted and for
the pregnant women that still not experimented the "sand" but are considered potential consumers. Each package costs about 0.14 euros.
The drug used in Manica, come from a mine, of difficult access, located in Chitunguiza, region of Harare, in the neighboring country, Zimbabwe. It enters in Mozambique hidden, one more time, amid baby clothes or in bags, smuggled across the border Machipanda.
The drug is orally consumed, mixed with food. These women are literally eating sand. There are those who minimize the problem talking about like this consumption as normal thing, as the obstetrician at the Provincial Hospital in Chimoio (city, in the map), Sululu Celeste, that said the Lusa News Agency: The ingestion of sand isn't recommended but this happens in pregnancy period... Other women prefer to eat icecream or chew ice cubes. There are women who like to smell gasoline.
It is evident that this sand is a drug. If not, would not be sold. The common sand could be obtained anywhere! And nobody needs to be an obstetrician to know that pregnant women should not eat sand. Nor pregnants nor any human being.
The Africa already has enough disgraces, which existence is almost unexplainable in the third millennium. If there is a conspiracy to exterminate the excess of the population of the world's poor, this "dust of sand" must be, surely, one of the instruments that are being used. How long will it take to this chemistry weapon spread the death throughout sub-Saharan Africa?

WORLD. The cannibal Miami is in the headlines. The world was stunned with the naked man who, on Saturday, May 26 (2012) devoured the nose and eyes of another, the homeless - Ronald Poppo, at a public thoroughfare, in the light of day with the testimony of the street security camera. The attack only was stoped by radical action of the police, who killed the attacker.
The reason or cause of crime, characterized by the horror, has provoked speculation of all kinds. The most widespread explanation is that the cannibal - identified as Ruby Eugene, 31, was under the influence of a new synthetic hallucinogenic drug that is being called "bath salts" or, as is known in Portugal - "miau-miau". The mefadrona appeared in Europe for the first time in 2007. The killer girlfriend believes that man, coincidentally, a Haitian, acted controlled by a voodoo spell.
ZOMBIES
Amid this whirlwind of terror and uncertainty, the puerto-rican researcher of paranormal phenomena and ufologist, Reinaldo Rios, claims that the cannibal was probably a zombie. He explains: They (the police) believe that the man was suffering from a psychosis caused by the use of cocaine, but he growled when a policeman approached him. This behavior is typical of a zombie.
Rios continues: The zombies are not typical of Haiti as most people think. The researcher said he interviewed a former military man, retired with honors that would have revealed: in experiments with drug users, scientists inject a chemical substance in a "test subject" causing an effect that can be considered as creating a zombie.
For Rios, the official explanation that the crime ocurred under the effect of psychosis caused by cocaine use is a smokescreen to divert public attention to the real catalytic element of the attack: ...because this drug was created to be used as a chemical weapon. The "test subjects" are monitored by a chip implanted in their brains but, this horrible thing seems has escaped the control of government laboratories.
CANNIBAL EPIDEMIC
The case of Miami is still unclear and other macabre episode of cannibalism was released on Friday, May 1 (2012). It happened - well, in the United States, in Maryland, the University of Morgan. The victim, born in the African country of Ghana, is the student Kujoe Agyei-Kodie, 37 years.

He had been missing since the 25th of May (2012). Now his horrible fate was discovered. Kodie was murdered by his roommate, Alexander Kinyua who confessed to the crime and gave details: he drew after killing the heart and brain of the victim and ate these organs. The rest of the body was thrown in the trash. Not yet known whether this further cannibal was under the effect of drugs.

It does not need to be an anthropologist, psychologist, ufologist, psychic or a prophet to realize that something very unusual is happening across the planet. Between April and May, two other cases of cannibalism were recorded: in Brazil, members of a sect, were practicing ritual sacrifices.They ate part of the human flesh of their victims and the rest, processed in pastries and other snacks, they sold in city bars.
At China, a man did the same thing, selling meals made of human flesh, but without claiming any connection with satanic cults or not. And - yet, a case occurred in 2008, at Canada, returned to the headlines reminding that the attacker, stabbed and ate part of the viscera of a man in a bus, in front of several people. The killer said that heard voices and believed that his victim was an alien, an extraterrestrial.
No. Nobody needs prophets to see the end, the end of humanity in the essence of beings who no more are human.
Now, who fears of an extraterrestrial threat? I'm sad... and afraid.

In the Hinode satellite image were observed in 2008 areas of negative polarity that, in 2011, decreased remarkably. Image: JAXA / Hinode
HELIOPHYSICS. Every 11 years or so, the Sun's magnetic field reverses itself completely: the north pole goes south and the south pole, goes to the north. It's like a magnet that slowly changes its polarity.
But the Sun is not a magnet and this is a complex process, which causes are not known for astrophysics today. But scientists are already able to map the magnetic fields of the Sun. They can study the phenomenon and know when the next change will occur.
For example, this reversal coincides with a period of intense solar activity, that are solar storms. These periods are called "solar maximum".
Recently, what means, at least the last two or three years, the team's Marshall Space Flight Center, NASA, in Huntsvillie - Alabama, headed by Jonathan Cirtain, noted that the magnetic north polarity of the Sun seems to have fallen to a intensity nearly zero. However, at the south pole, only even more recently, the magnetic field only started to decrease.
Cirtain defines what is happening as an imbalance between the north and south poles: The solar north is already undergoing a transition, in a complete disagreement with the south pole and we don't understand how or why. Moreover, the changes observed in the North Pole are advanced in relation to scientific forecasts. This moment of the cycle, the revertion - was expected to happen only in 2013.
These facts make think about the image of the Sun that is circulating on the Internet, showing and saying that one or more unidentified flying objects are in the vicinity of the sun. No one knows what it is but it is speculated that such objects are pulling energy of the star, like a vehicle, capturing energy.
The two informations together (the imbalance of the magnetic field and the presence of a UFO near the star), allow to suppose that this magnetic asymmetry of the sun is not a natural phenomenon. It can be being caused by an exogenous element (not the Sun itself) - interference of intelligent beings whose goal may be very different from a simple stop to fill the fuel tank.
END OF A WORLD. The image (above) is from March 2012. While some so-called conspiracionists or conspiracy theorists call the object, in the picture, Death Star, scientists say it is just a filament, an extension of the Sun. But, the conspiracists (that are researchers but not academics or, even being academics, are unconsidered like serious academics), they have more than one line of thought about this facts.
About this image (above), for example, some see it like a celestial body. These, immediately identifie this object with Nibiru, the Planet X or Hercóbulos. Others come and show various objects, as can be, in fact, observing the videos and photos - and claim that these UFOs are acting on the Sun with the aim of provoking phenomena on Earth. Catastrophic phenomena such as the tsunamis and earthquakes of the recent years.
These latter, align themselves with the thought that believes in the existence of a dome or secret council, formed by extraterrestrials that control the evolution of mankind for millennia, or a hybrid society, composed by extraterrestrials humanoids individuals and earthlings human.
According to the planning of this suposed council (like think some of conspiracists or researchers non-academics), it is time to purge the planet, to eliminate the problems that global civilization is not able to solve; but, rather, created such problems and multiplies them each day.
The superpopulation, especially of the miserables, is at the root of all these problems.
Therefore, the most urgent action is exterminate all excess this population that is hindering the progress of humanity. And the most pratical way of do it is killing them in mass.
The using of the sun as a catalyst for promote ecological disasters that result in mass mortalities is not the only resource that is being used. Other ills, including disease never before seen, degenerative corruption of human nature by means of new drugs, deadly, and other providences are also on the agenda called extermination.

All this can seem a fantasy, literary fiction or thing of cinema but, unfortunately, the headlines
of newspapers, combine too much with these ideas. Moreover, in more than one case, the reveries of the books and the fiction of the movies, as the Jules Verne tales, for example, did not take long to become an astounding reality. Let's meditate ... And... as the authorities say: Let's try to avoid the panic.

The end of the world is the fear of the end of the world.
MEXICO. It happened in San Agustin Atlapulco (city of the metropolitan area of Mexico City, the capital of the country), in the colony of Nezahualcóyotl founded 25 years ago by immigrants from Oxaca, Puebla and Guerrero.
In a house, located on a street in the neighborhood Graciano Sanchez, in Monday (5/21/2012), a group of ten people, including four children, were fasting and "praying" waiting for the end of the world.
They believed in the supposed imminence of a devastating earthquake, that would go happen in 28th day (this month) at 1 o'clock pm. An earthquake able to exterminate all life on Earth. Pretended religious authorities were leading the cult. A satanic cult.
The candles were lit. Among the instructions that were determined everyone should pray with eyes closed. But a child, Ferdinand - stood tired of mantain his eyes closed. And opened them. (And, it seems, he was not alone).
His mother, identified as Carmen, 23, perceived the disobedience (means that she also was with her eyes opened) and ordered sternly: Close your eyes! The boy refused: I will not close. Then she sentenced that eyes of the boy would be gouged out.
And were. With an aid of one of her sisters, this mother pulled the child's eyes with her own hands. A teenager of 17 years (identified as Maciel), uncle of Ferdinand, and his girlfriend, Ruth, horrified by what was happening, the two ran out of the house screaming: They are killing my nephew! They are plucking his eyes!
The neighbors heard the screams. A man called the police. Some people invaded the residence to rescue the boy. They found him in the arms of mother. She was hysterical with the child in her arms, bloody and unconscious. Inside the house, there was no religious images.
But in front of the house, on top of the gate, there is hanging a pentagram, a symbol that the ignorant, like these fanatics, believe be a an element of evocations of black magic.
The prosecutor, Jesus Acevedo Isaac Romano, who initiated the investigation, confirmed the presence of the ten persons and identified the children - which have between 9 months, 8, 5 and 17 years of age. The mother of Ferdinand, Carmen, and the aunt of the boy, Lizbeth, were indicted along with the others members of the sect.
The woman, Carmen, when was questioned, in the police station, was calm. Not asked by his son and not showed none remorse. The neighbors, that stood horrified. They said that the persons of the neighbor family, during more of twenty years, they appeared to be normals.
Isaac Romano also said that preliminary investigation found that the family really belongs to a cult and, about the reason for the mutilation of the child, the fanatics claimed that it was necessary ...to avoid end of the world. Only four of the eight prisoners were brought to testify. The others were in psychotic state, being submited to psychiatric and psychological avaliations.

BRAZIIL. At Rio Grande do Sul state, the city of St. Francisco de Paula, is to 112 km distant of Porto Alegre (capital of the state) to 907 meters above sea level. Considering this characteristic, the altitude, the prefect Decio Colla, who is a scholar of geophysics and astrophysics, is touting the city as a adequate place to escape a possible end of the world - according to the Mayan calendar. The "End of a Time" that can occur on December 21 this year (2012).
Decio Colla, the prefect: Is important to be prepared
Mr. Colla claims: ... the first world countries are preparing for possible disasters ... We can not wait anything happens. We must act ... He said the city already receives new residents. Persons who fear seeing confirmed the prophecy of the Maya. He don't know - yet - the number of the people that already arrived. If I could, the prefect ensures - he already would taken providences - for protection better the population.
As a public man, it is difficult to do anything at the moment. I can not stock the school lunch because I have to submit accounts zeroed at the end of each month. Even those who do not believe, they should be prepared. There are numerous factors that lead us to think that this can be confirmed. In other countries this concern already exists, but not in Brazil. We are not even paying attention in solar storms that affect our planet" he warned.
Trader in the city, Luiz Henrique Valim is an example of someone who has already took some providences for the case of any disaster that come to happen. At home, he claims to have a stock capable of feeding 50 people for a year. According to him, are 108 kg of rice, 40 kg of beans , 108 meters of textile fabrics, among other things
In addition to be prefect of San Francisco de Paula, Decio Colla is also a physician and works in hospitals in the mountainous regionof the state. For him, these solar flares hitting the earth can be an indication that the planet is entering a new phase. "Someone that is a biophysical knowsthat our whole planetary system is changing. With these changes, it is possible the occurrence of natural disasters ."
By being well above sea level, is very difficult that a tsunami come to reach the Serra do Rio Grande do Sul. Still thus, the mayor saysthe region is not free from danger. "What can reach the Sierra are tremors, storms, things of that nature. Anyway, we must be prepared," he says. "It is clear that each one takes its decision. What I want is to have a clear conscience, because if I have a lot of information, I have to pass them" - he added.

Charikot, Dolakha, March 29 - The birth of a bizarre-looking baby in Charikot, the headquarters of Dolakha district, on Wednesday, drew a huge number of onlookers to witness the astonishing sight.
The neck-less baby with its head almost totally sunk into the upper part of the body and with extraordinarily large eyeballs literally popping out of the eye-sockets, was born to Nir Bahadur Karki and Suntali Karki at the Gaurishnkar Hospital in Charikot.
The Karki couple is a permanent resident of Dolakha’s Bhirkot VDC. The bizarre baby, however, died after half an hour of its birth, Suntali, the mother, informed. It was taken to the hospital after its death.
The news about such a baby being brought to the hospital spread like wildfire and there were hundreds gathered at the hospital to have a look. The police had to be deployed to control the crowd.
“We wouldn’t have been able to save it, even if it had been brought here alive, said a nurse attending to the mother at the hospital. This is an extremely abnormal case. The “baby” weighed 2kg at birth and was born after the normal nine-month gestation period. Suntali, already a mother of two normal daughters, was not suffering from any illness during the pregnancy.
Nir Bahadur, the father, says he does not feel any remorse for the newly-born baby’s death. “I am happy that nothing happened to my wife, he said.

Monument Maya similar to the Stele of number 6, in exibition in La Venta Park Museum
MEXICO – Recently was publicized the information the discovery in Tabasco (one of 31 Mexican states. Capital: Villahermosa) of a supposedly archeological new find belonging to Mayan culture: the Stele of number 6, a stone compostion that could contain prophetic signs about the end of the world.
The midia announced the fact, but in true, Estela No. 6 was found in 1958 in the hills Tortuguero, at Macuspana. Today, it is under the guardianship of the Museum of Anthropology and History Carlos Pellicer House. The piece was never shown to the public.
The stele, which is not a single object but a monument, it is the only document of the Mayan classic period that specifically refers to the date 13.0.0.0.0.0 Ajaw K'ank'kin 3, meaning the equivalent of 21 or 23 December 2012. Therefore, many consider that the stele No. 6 contains something like a prophecy about the end of the World.
However, according to the Maya's Collection director, that brings together ancient hieroglyphs and iconography (Ajimay-INAH), Carlos Pallana Gayol: What we know is that, according to the Mayans the Stella indicates the end of a period and not the end of the world or the advent of a disaster.
