Ben Davidson’s books can be considered randomly published journals, as each book appears to be an expansion from previous editions. Meaning, it probably should be named, “The Journal of Suspicious Observer’s Science.”
His latest book, The Sun, The Earth and The Disaster Cycle (269 pgs., 2025) provides just such a report on the latest research and is heavy with citations from other scientific journals which he has already reviewed and catalogued monthly in The Observer’s Magazine.
As always, the book is full of colorful artwork – “eye candy” – to illustrate the concepts described by this scientific model. Graphics are particularly beneficial for people who cannot conceptually engage with the terminology, and kids like the picture-book effect. But, then again, is it age appropriate for them?
On page 181, he provides a chart for the various classifications of solar flares and in the following pages, revels in the vindication from the Establishment’s admission: “Our Sun does Nova.” (p. 228).
He offers a full page photograph of Douglas Vogt to credit him for the creation of solar nova science (p. 226).
Davidson updates the progress of the approaching galactic current sheet (p. 205) and reviews its impact on the other planets of the solar system: Pluto, Neptune, Uranus – where either atmospheric collapse or magnetic reversals have occurred. Then he reports on new and bizarre storms on Saturn, Jupiter (and its moons!), along with Mars and Venus. Mercury remains an unknown and as for Earth, Davidson argues that the many atmospheric anomalies associated with global warming, are in fact, caused by the electromagnetic effects of this approaching current sheet.
While he tries to put a happy face on the looming disaster assuring us that it is just a natural part of solar cycles (he calls it “the micronova”), yet when we engage with his blow-by-blow description of the disaster, the expected crustal shift (90o) and the resulting inundations from the deep blue sea, we re-enter the surreal world of this new field of Catastrophism. Like a rehab coach, Davidson cheers us on with, “We are all descendants of nova survivors.” Yet, we wonder, “But will we survive?”
To silence any remaining skeptics, he marshals support from Albert Einstein’s archived correspondence produced by Immanuel Velikovsky’s friend, Michael Steinbacher, which Davidson was allowed to see and copy (p. 242-246). Readers will remember that Warner Sizemore was sourced many years earlier by James McCanney who aired an interview he had with him which can be found at McCanney’s website (see disc 2). Sizemore is considered by some to be the most likely of Velikovsky’s assistants who would have passed these documents on to Steinbacher to aid him in his own research.
While McCanney was interested in a geographical polar shift caused by a large, passing comet, Davidson, in contrast, follows Einstein’s belief (expressed in his forward to Hapgood’s book, which Davidson reproduces in part) that the crust can be unlocked from the mantle with a heat-induced viscosity which allows Earth’s unevenly distributed mass to shift without aid of an external tidal force. He provides actual facsimile copy of Einstein’s statements,
A great many empirical data indicate that at each point on the earth’s surface that has been carefully studied, many climatic changes have taken place, apparently quite suddenly. This, according to Hapgood, is explicable if the virtually rigid outer crust of the earth undergoes, from time to time, extensive displacement over the viscous, plastic, possibly fluid inner layers. Such displacements may take place as the consequence of comparatively slight forces exerted on the crust, derived from the earth’s momentum of rotation, which in turn will tend to alter the axis of rotation of the earth’s crust. (p. 242)
[However, we have reminded our readers that the Earth’s moon has tidal effects, also, observable everyday in the oceanic tides, and which must be expected to be exerting equal force on the mantle.]
While that doesn’t necessarily prove anything, the evidence of Einstein’s opinions does seem to lay to rest Vogt’s claims to the contrary (scroll to Update for June, 2023).
As noted earlier, the CIA’s role in producing then hiding this information (Hapgood and Thomas) solicited colorful complaints from Vogt. Davidson refers to it as “clown world” as he contests the misdirection supplied by global warming. This, ostensibly, is a substitute theory to avoid public panic. But when one considers the panic and fanaticism which global warming catastrophists have produced in recent years anyway, one wonders if it would have been any different offering a forthright admission from the start that the Sun novas.
And now?
We are getting close enough to the catastrophe that there is no value in withholding the information. In his final pages, Davidson claims the elite know and they are taking serious action to prepare (p. 256). Expect that 2026 will be the year of the great reveal.
Preparations
Davidson has been trying devise preparedness planning retreats at his campground at Observers Ranch. My son attended one of these presentations in Orlando. A review will be forthcoming.
Like us at 2046AD.org, Davidson anticipates that we will be knocked back into the stone age by solar storms or nuclear war long before the great nova catastrophe occurs. So, general preparedness is appropriate.
However, readers should anticipate a unique set of survival challenges during and after the solar nova/crustal shift/ice age. These topics have been addressed by our Survival Praxis series and Davidson is now offering one of his own in workshops held regularly at the ranch.
He notices that most of his retreat attendees are fat and out of shape. He is trying to promote a regimen to get everyone mentally and physically fit. Good luck with that! But at least he is setting a good example with his own chiseled torso.
In a post-apocalypse, pre-nova world, you will need to know how to scavenge from the remnants of our current civilization. From those resources, you will need to construct survival pods which can take you through the nova period and rebuild civilization in the post-nova world. You will have to become “raiders of the Lost Worlds.”
I think you will need more than luck to do that!
