[T]he larger the object, the lower the charge to mass ratio of the object. . . The sun has the greatest charge of any object in the solar system yet its charge to mass ratio is the lowest, meaning that in the movement of celestial objects it will move the least of any object due to the charge upon itself.

On Believing Your Lying Eyes
I have been involved in many building projects over the years, both professionally and personally. If you learn anything, you learn the importance of accurate measurements – “measure twice, cut once.” There have been occasions in which I tried to “eye-ball it in.” In other words, if something “looked” level or “seemed” square, then it was “good enough.” Sometimes, it is; most of the time, it is not.
To pour a concrete slab, excavation is often necessary. A piece of ground might look level to the eye, but if you use a level and run a string from your starting point, you might find a foot and a half drop at the other end. Over the course of 20 or 30 feet, an inch-per-foot drop would be imperceptible to the eye. Only by using measuring tools can it be established that your perception was wrong. You need a measuring standard.
My father was a master at billiards. He learned it from his days in the military. He understood “reverse English.” He could “eye ball” a shot with amazing accuracy. There were many pool games in which I never got to shoot a single time because I helplessly watched him clear the table.
[Side Note: He was in teletype communications during the Cuban Missile Crisis. In the military, sometimes you have to work around the clock until a crisis over. When you are off-the-clock, you have a lot of time on your hands while you are waiting for orders. But you can’t go home because you are waiting for orders. So, you go to the rec room and shoot pool while you wait.]
After his time in the military, he became a machinist. He never “eyeballed” anything then. He used calipers; he used trigonometry. He read prints. When machine tooling parts for airplanes or motor vehicles, you don’t “eyeball” your calculations. Too much is at stake.
Just as Christians might insist upon a “biblical” standard for moral law, scientists will insist upon a standard of measurement for physical law. While I must save for another time a complete discussion of the “flat earth” controversy, let me just say that it does no good to say things like, “I don’t see the curvature” or “I have no sense of movement on a spinning ball.” Contrary to popular opinion, science does not depend upon the five senses; it depends upon accurate measurement. The sheer size of the Earth would neither give the sense of movement nor that of curvature, not even with high altitude flight, globular enthusiasts notwithstanding. People who think they can perceive the Earth’s curvature while looking out the window of an airliner at 35,000 feet are seeing what they want to see. Your chance of “eyeballing” the curvature at that altitude is equivalent to a gnat hovering a mere millimeter over a wrecking ball. Try to imagine that!
Some flat earth theorists have attempted to measure and use experiments with interesting but inconsistent results. The most impressive to my mind was Rob Skiba’s trip to establish a visual of the Chicago skyline from across Lake Michigan while standing on its eastern shore. If anything, he was retracing the steps of our ancestors in rediscovering the world around us. But refraction is a powerful thing. Anyone who has watched an approaching vehicle from a mile away on a hot summer day will see the distortions which the heat waves can have on the pavement. We should not be dismissive of experiments like Skiba’s, but repetition is required and on days with different atmospheric conditions – and on days with different tidal phases. We must not forget that bodies of water continuously bulge and dip from the gravity of the Moon and even the Sun from a few inches to many feet each day. More another time (see the Skiba link under the Sources page).
The Compass & the Square
It is of curious interest that Isaac Newton’s passion for mathematical precision carried over to his time as Exchequer of the Royal Mint of England. During his tenure there, he demanded and got the death penalty for counterfeiters. It may be that Newton’s demand for an accurate and authentic standard of money was as much a foundation for England’s economic ascendancy during the 18th Century as was his precision in scientific experimentation.
The symbol of Freemasonry is the compass and the square, a truly modest yet inspiring symbol which it inherited from occupational masonry to represent the importance of measuring tools for construction, and by extension, all scientific endeavors. I have no sympathy for the ideology of speculative Freemasonry, but in its understanding that accuracy in measurement is the foundation of science, I gratefully share in its heritage. Such instruments were used in the construction of the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages. But the need to measure other things is a vast task in all areas of life. John D. Rockefeller made his millions because he took the time to do things like count the number of soldering drops it took to seal a five-gallon can of kerosene. 39 would work instead of 40 and so he saved $2,500 the first year.
I do not know if Isaac Newton was a practicing Mason. Freemasons have a habit of conferring honorary and unsolicited memberships upon great men as a way of bolstering the status of their organization (e.g. George Washington per “Finney On Masonry” https://2046ad.org/the-seed-of-cain-the-revival-of-mystic-humanism/). But Newton certainly believed in the importance of exact measurements and the use of mathematics to discipline the empirical sciences.
Occupational masons learned their measuring system from the Templars who, in turn, learned it from the Saracens, who learned it from the Persians, who learned it from the Prophet Daniel – all heliocentrists, as Patten says:
Donald Patten, Recent Organization of the Solar System, 2004, internet source
Evidence from ancient Persian surveying systems indicate that they were based on earlier Chaldean standards and norms. Like their predecessors, they also viewed the Earth as a sphere.
Ancient Persian surveying practices show an accurate knowledge of the Earth’s diameter and circumference. They surveyed accordingly by using a certain triangular system of right triangles, with the angles being 36°, 54° and 90°. These angle ratios were easy to handle, being 2:3:5. Persian survey crews surveyed from the shores of the Indian Ocean almost to the Arctic Ocean with such triangles. . .
Darius’ Tomb was located not only on their 30th latitude north of the equator, but also on a line angle 54° north of horizontal and 36° west of vertical, on a diagonal pointing to the historic Ark of Noah location. It was still well-known at that time. The Persians, like the Chaldeans, considered the ancient Ark Site of historic significance. It was where their ancestors survived the great flood.
Greek cosmology followed Persian cosmology, which followed Chaldean cosmology. . .
Eratosthenes (-276 to – 196) had taught that the Earth was a sphere with a circumference of 25,000 miles. Actually our planet’s equatorial circumference is 24,902 miles. Posidonius (-135 to – 50) reduced this estimate by 32% and Ptolemy adopted the estimate of Posidonius into a flat Earth system of thought.
Patten is describing here what is called “trigonometrical surveying” which is specifically defined as “the measurement of an arc of the meridian by means of a series of triangles” (Webster, 1828). That is exactly what the ancients were doing.
Daniel As Scientist
Cartography is an essential aspect of empire. Accurate maps and the delineation of internal boundaries of kingdoms are required to quiet title and keep the peace. Without them, an empire will fall apart from civil war.
Darius was personally known to the Prophet Daniel according to the Bible. Daniel was “chief of the magi” [magicians] (Daniel 4:9) and “chief of the astrologers” (5:11). As “Belteshazzar,” he would have become personally responsible for the surveying system devised by the Persians. It would have been a part of his job description (1:4): “the science” of the “Chaldeans.” Strangely, the word for “Chaldean” is a cognate of the proto-Hebrew, kasdiymah (#3778), which in its narrow sense means to “examine and measure the field.” Mapping the heavens and the earth was the work of the Chaldeans.
[It is off-topic but will be addressed in a future Pesher as it is an important biblical subject. Discovering this definition is not so easily done through standard lexicons. Most standard Bible helps cannot get past the label of “soothsayer” or “sorcerer” when describing the Chaldeans. Abraham was charged by God to “step-off” (survey) Canaan and he was capable of doing that task because he was from “Ur of the Chaldees” (the city of surveyors). Abraham was also called a “Hebrew,” improperly translated “wanderer.” It really means “explorer.” At this time period, “Canaan” was a sparsely populated frontier of the Fertile Crescent between the settled areas of Egypt and Mesopotamia.]
If the Persians were globalists because they were influenced by the Babylonians, then it must have been because their mentor, Daniel, also believed and taught a spherical earth. Surveying requires establishing coordinates using the sun by day and the stars by night. This was all before the discovery of the lodestone and the magnetic north pole.
While we do not have any explicit heliocentric statements in the Book of Daniel, he did record the angel’s prophecy of the latter times,
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Daniel 12:4
The text suggests that the increase of knowledge comes from this movement of “to and fro.”
This text is poorly translated, partly because early English Bibles were translated by men who were geocentrists and also because of Jerome who translated the Latin Vulgate was from the age of Ptolemy.
A single, compounded, proto-Hebrew word is responsible for this expression. It is “shuw-tet.” [Not merely “shuwt” as the lexicons say – see Green’s Interlinear]. It is yet another surveyor’s term from the Persian meaning, “to set, place, or put” (Davidson’s Analytical Hebrew & Chaldee Lexicon, p. 743), as in a surveyor’s marker. In fact, the “tet” is the cognate for a name recorded in the book of Ezra: “Tattenai”, a Persian satrap from “across the river” who ruled Palestine under the authority of Darius (Ezra 5:3,6; 6:6,13). “Shoot the line” or “shoot the grade” (shuwt) – as with a transit – might be a phonetically inherited surveyor’s expression.
Green’s Interlinear translates “shuwt” as “many shall roam around” but it would be better understood with its association to the rolling action of rowing the oars of a ship. In fact, “shuwt” is translated as “row” in several Old Testament texts. Rowing is not a random action as the idea of “roaming” suggests, but rather a deliberate and repetitive circular action which requires timing. “Shuwtet” would make the verb into a noun and suggest a practice or condition in which the rowing action establishes a point of reference and direction for the boat. To borrow from Patten’s analysis above of the Persian use of the right triangle, the surveyor would use the final point of forming the first triangle as the starting point to form the next one. As one envisions the process, an alternating rotating pattern would emerge. But since land is rarely level and straight without obstacles, the surveyor would have had to calibrate his calculations from time-to-time with star-based coordinates read by a sextant, or an astrolabe or similar instruments. The Persians and their predecessors would have discovered also the Earth’s curvature.
Using the Sun, for example, to establish the cardinal coordinates, one could begin with the lining up of two poles on the day of equinox to establish your east-west coordinates (e.g. Stonehenge), and then use simple geometry to establish north and south. (For the benefit of preppers, you should obtain McCanney’s home-made astrolabe device. See Sources page).
Considering all of this, the angel was telling Daniel that “Knowledge shall increase” because of shuwtet: the topography and the forces of nature shall be carefully measured in maps and mathematical formulas.
Daniel was also a contemporary of the younger Ezekiel who was otherwise known as “Nazaratus the Assyrian” according to some of the Early Church fathers. Clement claimed he was a mentor to Pythagoras but disputed that he was Ezekiel because of the heretical doctrine of metempsychosis. To Desposynic scholars, Ezekiel would have been so-named because “Nazaratus” marks him as a scion of the Davidic royal house. That Pythagoras was mentored by the Hebrew prophets should not surprise us. As a contemporary of Daniel – who was the most powerful man in both empires – Ezekiel had been deported by the Babylonians to the formerly Assyrian territories. As noted above, Daniel was the “chief of the astrologers” in Babylon, which would mean that he had first-hand access to the ancient records and the real-time observations of perhaps the most sophisticated observatories of the time. We know as a fact from internal evidence in the books of Daniel and Ezekiel that they were in communication with each other.
While the Bible obviously favors Flat Earth and geocentric nomenclature in popular expression, it does not commit itself doctrinally to a cosmology which opposes the heliocentric model. This distinction is important. Since a spherical cosmology existed in biblical times and would have been known to the Hebrew prophets, if not to Moses, the absence of any condemnation of this cosmology in the Bible suggests that it was not considered subversive and may indeed have been among those “secret things” which are reserved to God Himself and to His prophets. A Flat Earth/Geocentric literalism demanded by some of its modern advocates today betrays an extremism which is unjustified and dangerous.
On the Confluence of Electrical Charge
McCanney, Planet x app. pt. 3, op cit (1981) p. 45
To date, no progress has been made by theorists to unify gravity with the electromagnetic equations of Maxwell. . .
The reminiscences of my older years tell me that I had a wonderful childhood, perhaps not rich in terms of luxuries, but certainly rich in the life experiences that boys love to have.
After my father left the military, and after his stint as a machinist, he responded to the call of his childhood and moved to a farm in the Missouri Ozarks to raise pigs. At 11 and for several years thereafter, I had the opportunity to roam the hills of that uniquely American landscape. The farm had two year-round creeks, a spring, and other seasonal brooks. I spent many hours in those streams in solitary play, getting myself wet from head-to-toe, but studying the flow of currents, damming them, redirecting them, and witnessing the awesome power of flash floods.
[Biographical Note: One of life’s lessons is that you must grow the food that you feed your animals. The rocky soil of red clay in the Ozarks cannot grow grain. My grandfather recommended that the pigs be turned loose in the woods to live off of acorns: “root hog or die.” My Dad insisted on following the advice of the local “extension agent” to purchase his grain and farrow the pigs for efficiency. That worked for a while until Nixon decided to sell grain to the Soviets. That spiked the input costs, squeezed out the small producer, and bankrupted my family.]
Consequently, when McCanney says that plasmas in space can act like rivers, the memories of my childhood with rapids, eddies, cross-currents, “uphill” canals and confluences come freshly to mind. I can immediately relate to the analogy.
What forces will be in play at the next nova?
McCanney, Planet X . . . Appendix 1, p. 63 (1980)
Novae and Supernovae are frequent. . . Gravitational waves are detected emanating from our galactic center at the rate of about one per day.
Gravity is not the sole force governing the cosmos. Electrical effects generally produce only subtle effects, but occasionally they may dominate the workings of the solar system.
Ibid, Appendix 2, p.43 (1981)
If you fall out of an airplane, obviously, you are under the control of the force of gravity. But you also notice a contrary force: the wind blowing against you. The air has pressure, but it is too small to stop your descent. Gravity is the greater force.
You might get lucky and encounter a powerful updraft from a storm that will temporarily suspend your fall. But the fall will resume once the temporary effects of atmospheric pressure no longer work in your favor.
If you had been an ant or other small insect, your descent would have been more gradual. Gravity would still have acted upon your body with the same force, but your lack of density would have been impacted by the atmospheric pressure more and you would have floated down.
You could harness the atmospheric pressure by unfurling a parachute. Only then would atmosphere work in your favor as a countering force to gravity.
The universe is electric – dielectric, actually – and is charged everywhere. Gravity is also everywhere. Which is the greater force: gravity or electric current? It depends.
That is what McCanney is talking about when he says things like “charge to mass ratio” matter. He has discovered that electrical charge is the dominant force on small bodies; while for larger bodies, it is gravity. He has discovered exact mathematical equations to express that ratio in respect to different bodies. Maybe we should call it, “McCanney’s Law of Charge-to-Mass Proportions.” For example,
Ibid, p. 30
[R]epulsive electrical force between the Sun and a comet nucleus is only one part in 1012 of the attractive gravitational force.
McCanney’s table of equations is proprietary and protected by copyright. I will not reproduce them here. But his books are not hard to find. See links on the Sources page.
The Cue Ball
In support of the externally generated dynamo theory, the Sun’s magnetic field is controlled by Mercury . . .
McCanney, Ibid, Appendix 3, p. 46
When shooting pool, the normal roll of the billiard ball is to react directly in the opposite direction of force from the strike of the cue stick. This is sometimes called “running English.” Nothing fancy. Just shoot straight.
However, “reverse English” supplies a spin along with the roll to make the ball go in a different direction, perhaps making a curve around a ball that’s in the way, or perhaps even making the ball roll backwards. I have seen some breathtaking shots. Kids who play video games are missing out on valuable lessons in practical physics.
The gyroscopic effects of “reverse English” is analogous to the effects of electrical discharge. But it is not only so. The tidal action by an orbiting moon upon the molten core of its parent body will create a dynamo. More below.
The mass of the Sun is so large that its powerful electrical currents do not move it. The planets of the solar system experience the effects differently, however. We now know that all of the planets are tethered to the Sun by electrical flux tubes. They are connected to it by both gravity and electrical charge.
Presumably, the planets, comets, the asteroids, etc. are like the Sun and either have a net negative charge or are neutral. Only celestial bodies in a perfectly circular orbit are electrically neutral. Elliptical orbits, to a greater or lesser extent, discharge the solar capacitor and manifest charge. None of the orbits in the solar system are purely circular, but because mass includes the heavy elements which contain neutrons and other elements which are balanced with protons and electrons, the effect is an electrically neutral ground.
However, some of the solar objects in space demonstrate perturbations in their orbits. Their elliptical orbits sometimes violate Kepler’s laws – the planet Mercury, for example. What could cause these perturbations? McCanney says it is the flow of massive electrical currents:
McCanney, Ibid, p. 46
With the realization that charged bodies exist in space, and that the Moon, Mercury and other celestial bodies wander from Keplerian orbits, the following generalizations can be stated. . . [T]he effects of a highly charged comet, passing a star or planet, will be to greatly increase and/or alter the magnetic field of the star or planet.
op cit., p. 46
The original concept of Houben and Dermott provided for a gravitationally induced current flow caused by tidal action of the moon on the planet’s fluid core.
Stellar and planetary magnetic fields are induced by the tidal action of their respective satellites. Io partly creates and controls Jupiter’s magnetic field, while Earth’s moon does the same for ours. It is possible that the passage of Little Brother ignited our Sun back in its primordial ages. But the Sun’s magnetic field is now controlled and partly created by Mercury.
The heliosphere is becoming saturated with the electrically-charged galactic dust field that our solar system has entered. Davidson’s research tells us that it is a proton stream because both Pluto and Neptune have experienced a glowing of their southern poles and atmospheric collapse. The positive charge of an excess of protons has overwhelmed the supply of electrons in these respective planetary electromagnetic environments. (Remember, the very term “electricity” comes from the word “electron” and describes the movement of electrons as they are pushed along in a coaxial pattern on a copper wire, for instance. In a planetary atmosphere, the overcharge caused by a proton stream would combine with the electrons to form hydrogen and eliminate the dielectric effects in the atmosphere. This phenomenon would eliminate the ability of the atmosphere to hold its molecules in suspension and would collapse into ice crystals (not necessarily from water, but from whatever the constituent gases that exist in the respective planet’s atmosphere) and fall to the planet’s surface. However, an excess of protons containing a positive charge would have to be converted into heat and kinetic energy, hence the glow.
This is how the tidal forces of gravity can cause current to flow. We will visit this subject yet again when in a future Survival Praxis contrasting Vogt’s central modulation point and Felix’s solar granulation.
The Prophecies of Merlin
[T]he rage of Mercury shall exceed its orbit . . .
– Stivers, 2011, op cit.
The so-called “Prophecies of Merlin” are known to historians. As noted in my book, Merlin: High Priest of the Holy Grail, it is thought they were compiled and translated by John of Cornwall, an academic colleague of Peter Lombard, the famous Church scholar from the medieval period.
The prophecies of Merlin suggest a heliocentric view of the solar system. These prophecies obviously predate Copernicus, so Merlin would have been Pythagorean in his cosmology, because Pythagoras and the respective Greek philosophers he influenced were heliocentric. I believe these prophecies are “Magian” in origin going back to the cosmology of Daniel and his contemporaries. They represent a wisdom tradition which is extra-biblical, Desposynic, and divinely inspired.
Consider it the Bible of Science or of Natural Revelation from the era of the Biblical Patriarchs. In other words, because of Daniel’s influence, it is a science that can be trusted.
Merlin’s prophecies predict a disruption to the orbital paths of the planets of the solar system, and perhaps to the stellar constellations, although, they may be perceptive only, as an erratic change in the Earth’s rotation and orbit around the Sun could lend itself to a chaotic rearranging of our night sky. Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and is tiny in size in comparison to the Sun’s energy output, both kinetic and electrical, it is most likely that any nova event will directly impact its orbit significantly.
Star Death for our Sun?
In consideration of the important role in which Mercury plays in the thermonuclear burn of the Sun, one wonders what mechanism of control existed in the Sun’s electromagnetic fields prior to Mercury’s capture, if Patten’s cosmology is accepted? As suggested above, our solar system might have been very different with a more active Saturn and Jupiter as small stars and our current Sun lying dormant until its encounter with Little Brother.
Conversely, if the Sun’s current salutary and controlled process of fission and fusion be interrupted by a disturbance or perturbation in Mercury’s orbit, should we expect further and more exaggerated effects in the aftermath of the next nova?
It is thought that the electrons of the corona are held in place by electromagnetic forces (McCanney and Felix). If Mercury is key to the organization of the Sun’s magnetic field lines, what would happen should Mercury suddenly be removed? Would the Sun return to a state of dormancy? Vogt has certainly said so, but for other reasons.
Mercury’s current orbit is highly eccentric. Would a Mercury pushed further out into space and suffering a chaotic orbit create further chaotic radiance in the Sun or shut it down altogether?
Stellar novae are varied as to their causes and effects. That has been noted several times in our discussions. Changing factors suggest a lack of uniformity in the Sun’s nova events. As will be discussed much later in this series, a nova aftermath would require dependence of the survivors on Earth’s geothermal resources and an artificially-created source of light for photosynthesis. Vogt thinks the Sun will return to “normal” after a couple of solar cycles when it has acquired a new crustal shell, as does Davidson. Both are expecting an ice age, but a scenario could emerge of a much longer deprivation of solar radiance for the Earth: an ice epoch of perhaps thousands of years.
Time’s Up?
We can now begin to appreciate the expected effects of what Davidson calls “the galactic current sheet.” It might be a nebular cloud, but regardless, we now know that it is positively charged and represents a powerful ion stream. It is barreling inward toward the Sun like a tsunami. In terms of mass, it does not mean much except for the dust and debris which could be captured by that charge.
However, electrically, it is overwhelming the heliosphere like the collapse of a dam. Our interest in Comet B-B is to try to answer the question of timing. If it acts like a trigger, we can expect that the planet Saturn will experience the most immediate effect. When the comet passes Saturn’s orbital path – its point of aphelion – it will leave behind a trail or stream of electrically charged particles that will remain floating in suspension awaiting capture and ignition like a powder fuse. Saturn will experience its perihelion in November, 2032 AD on the opposite side of the Sun as the comet passes. When it reaches the cometary trail near its point of aphelion 14.4. years later – curiously in 2046 AD – I am expecting Saturn to light up like the Christmas Star. If it does, we will be mere weeks away from the nova.
