Watched part 1 and 2 last night, gave up on part 3.

I particularly liked the"assume this" and "assume that" all the way through part 2. A lot of assumptions if you ask me.

They start with implying that natural disasters, hurricanes, Tsunamis, earthquakes and the like are getting more powerful because planet X is already having an influence. For that sort of effect it would have to be right on top of us now. I can't say I've noticed it in the sky. 

As I pointed out earlier the IRAS discoveries turned out to be extra-solar objects so the whole premise falls at the first hurdle. Even so, then they mention a body with about 8 earth mass which they equate with the (non existent)IRAS object that they say is Jupiter size and/or a brown dwarf. That would be 300 to 6000 times the mass of the earth!

The final point I thought of was that an object 50 billion miles out in the early 1980s cannot possibly have an orbit that brings it into the inner solar system in 30 years, ellliptical or not. At the speed it needs to do that the orbit would be open,. i.e. not an orbit at all but one pass through. So how can they refer to previous passes?

It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous.

Science for the credulous I'd call it.

Don't quite grasp all that, but there again, I am thick. ::)

Wish I could find that flamin' article about the Finnish ...or was it Norwegian...MP whose story about the secret underground city that was being built, was leaked.
Fascinating and quite scary read.

Have you ever read The Hobbit?  eveilgrin:

It strikes me that if a gigantic planet hit us at 600 trillion miles an hour then hiding in a hole would be little use.You wouldn't even hear the bang.

That aside, I have just 4 places left in  my air raid shelter for gullible needy individuals

I'm sure I've alraedy told you, but it's not in here, the OFFICIAL Planet X thread. ::)

Planet X....IF it exsists, and is going to do what the 'experts' are predicting it's going to do, does NOT include it hurtling into Earth at 600 trillion MPH, but passing on its orbit close to the Sun, thus creating massive unprecedented devastating eruptions and activity that will in fact slowly boil the earth dry over a period of approx 3 months.
It won't be over quickly, it'll be a slow hot and getting hotter miserable end for all. seas will boil dry, and the whole place will eventually explode into a ball of fire.

There, on that cheery note, I'll go and lie under the sunbed. lol:

So in orther words the same as if Nick was let loose in the kitchen.

The simple truth to all this is that it is academic. There is bugger all we can do if it turns out to be correct ahd Planet X does actually exist.,
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

Well as I suggested earlier, get some piccies of it in here...on another thread though....as it is actually of some significant historical interest.

Meanwhile, I'm still struggling to find this elusive (and probably dead now) Norwegian/ Finnish MP that blew the gaff on the secret underground city that's being built in readiness.
They've been building it for over 20 years now apparently, and it has hundreds of miles of roadnetwork within............. apparently. eeek:

Ey? Bank? They'll have gone bust by now. lol:

I'm having to retrace my original footsteps on the You Tube footage, to try and establish the link that I found to this geezer.
It could be 21/12/12 before I find it at this rate. ::)
Really is a spooky old date that in'it?

Anyone got a JCB btw? The garden could do with a 'bit' of a makeover.  whistle:
No time like the present ey?
