May 25, Tsunami Day!



In case you’ve forgotten, or simply don’t follow strange internet predictions, today is May 25th. This is supposed to be the day of the big “Mega-Tsunami” that is supposed to smash up the Pacific Coast of the United States. Other reports point the approaching tsunami towards the Atlantic. There’s actually an interesting news item on Aljazeera.net about how these rumors apparently sparked a huge panic in Morocco:

A website warning of a tsunami has spread panic in Morocco, despite the government’s assertion that the alert was merely rumour - and the dubious nature of its source.

The Ufological Research Centre said on its website last week that a tsunami could hit the Atlantic after a comet passes close to earth on Thursday, May 25.

Eric Julien, author of La Science Des Extraterrestres (Science of Aliens), claimed that the impact of a comet fragment would trigger powerful volcanoes in the Atlantic and generate a giant tsunami that would be destructive across the coasts of several countries, including Morocco.

Julien, who claimed to have received the information psychically, said that waves up to 200 metres high will reach coastlines of countries bordering the Atlantic.

The alert caused fear and panic among Moroccan citizens, though the Moroccan meteorological office dismissed it on Monday as insignificant

The SaveLivesInMay.com website - one of the original sources for these rumors, seems to not be online anymore. When I visit it, I’m getting “Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)”. Anybody else still able to access it? In any case, NASA also is apparently assuring us that comet fragments won’t hit (found via this blog).

Still have a little ways to go though. Maybe we’ll see a tsunami yet, although it seems unlikely. I will be curious to see the reactions of the weird online communities who spawned this rumor if and when nothing happens. Will they proudly announce that their efforts averted the disaster? Will they say that our collective conscious attention shifted us sideways into a parallel universe where this danger can’t touch us? Will they be right?

In any event, if you don’t hear from me on this site for a few days, it’s because I’ve been swept away by the tsunami. Either that or an old friend of mine is coming into town tonight for a weekend visit and I will be away from my computer for a few days enjoying real life, tsunami or no. See you soon! Stay dry!

    From an article by Eric Julien, linked via Aljazeera:

    http://exodus2006.com/cometfrags/Eric-Julien-25-MAY.htm

    What will occur on May 25, 2006? Perhaps a planetary catastrophe originating from the Atlantic Ocean due to a medium size impact event. On this assumption, a series of giant waves, including one méga tsunami almost two hundred meters in height, will be born from a succession of underwater eruptions. These watery giants, decreasing with distance, will touch the majority of the Atlantic coasts; in particular, those most at risk lie between the equator and the tropic of Cancer. The victims of May 25 2006 will be tens of millions. The devastated survivors will be more numerous still. The economic losses will be enormous, well beyond the scales of destruction hitherto tested by our civilization. North America and Europe will not be saved, but will be affected in less dramatic proportions. By extension, other remote countries will be also affected.

    Also on that site, see this link about how they kicked Eric Julien out of the Exopolitics Institute because of all this:

    http://www.exopoliticsinstitute.org/Press-Rel-May-25-06.htm

    From their site, part of their “mission” is:

    http://www.exopoliticsinstitute.org/index.htm

    The Institute seeks to prepare humanity for interacting with extraterrestrial civilizations whose existence is supported by credible evidence, and supports full public disclosure by government authorities of all evidence concerning the extraterrestrial presence. The Institute supports the vision of an interconnected global human society that interacts with extraterrestrial civilizations in a peaceful, harmonious and mutually respectful manner.

    If I remember correctly, Canadian deputy Prime Minister Paul Hellyer (who announced that aliens are coming) is also a member of some kind of (if not this one) exopolitical organization. I have some quotes about it here:

    i fail to grok the business model in this type of prophetic fear-mongering other than to guess that it gets a lot of hits from paranoids anxious about shit falling on thier heads. my question has always been; what happens the day after, when seattle is still bone dry? does the site go down, or do they revise everything and go into prophesy mode again for the next convergence?
    one could also get the baseball hat that says, “i survived the tsunami of may 25th 2006, but all i got was this shit hat”

    The site doesn’t work for me either. They certainly took it down pretty sharpish…

    What do you do after you have spent three years preaching an apocalypse that fails to materialise?

    Fear mongers are like a dolls head. And giant waves are like vampire bodies. Now a dolls head is no more likely to receive a vampire body than a vampire head is to receive a dolls body.
    All I’m saying on May 25 2006 is that 100 years from now I will be dead. What comes after death? Do we disolve back into the ocean? Just some fat free food for thoughtlessness. If there is an afterlife I wonder what Carl Jung is doing at this very moment. Knowing his luck he’s probably some King inside somebody’s fantasy world.

    Eric Julien’s site is up and running again with the following update:

    “UPDATE MAY 25, 2006:
    According to informed sources, contacts in the American intelligence services confirm the existence of a time window of 48 hours, centered on May 25th at midnight GMT, for the impact a comet fragment south of the Azores.

    This corroborates information of an evacuation exercise of the U.S. Congress to occur later in the day of May 25th, information which reached us this morning.

    As a measure of precaution, I suggest the authorities do the utmost to protect the populations of the Atlantic coastlines. — Eric Julien”

    Hmmmmmm……..

    Yeah I think today is actually aftermath of devastating Earthquake day, if you are a resident of Indonesia. Good Job Tim, way to Jinx an entire country of islands. I don’t think its ever funny or humorous to make light of warnings or predictions of natural disasters, no matter what country the disaster is supposed to take place, or who is making the prediction. May 25, Tsunami, ha ha, Oh wait a second, May 26th, a 6.2 magnitude quake kills at least 211 people in Indonesia… Oh wait a second, that death toll has now been bumped up to over 3,500 casualities! Hmm…

    The prediction of a mega tsunami is completely eccentric, confirms RAEL, the only true Messenger of the extraterrestrials.
    Following the announcement made by an eccentric “ufologist” that a giant tsunami was going to hit the Atlantic coasts following the impact by the debris coming from a comet, RAEL, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement, confirms that the predictions of a giant tsunami is absolutely false. He recalls that he is the only Messenger of the only extraterrestrials that visits the Earth, Elohim, and that all the others who claim to receive messages, are deranged and false prophets.
    The Elohim are the beings that came from another planet, they created us in their image and created all forms of life on Earth, using genetic engineering
    technologies, which we now discover on Earth. These beings who were mistaken as gods in the past, they are called Elohim in Hebrew, (the singular being Eloha), Allah for the Muslims, Aloha for the Hawaians, etc. Lets recall that before the Koran was written, Allah was called El-laha by the Muslims, very close to Eloha in Hebrew
    we called “God” in all religions and who had sent all the prophets. RAEL, their last messenger, announced in all religions, is here to prepare their return on Earth in the
    company of the great prophets like Mahomet, Jesus or Moses. An absolute non-violence and a confidence in science to reach a harmonious standard of living for any individual on Earth are the principal values of the Elohim’s new Messages that one can find
    in 28 languages on the Website: www.rael.org

    Tonight’s regularly scheduled NW Tsunami was preempted due to the American Idol finale. Now let the flooding begin. Port Townsend residents flee in your kinetic sculptures …

    actually y’know it *is*raining pretty hard here now!

    Well, I suppose it makes a change from the undersea earthquake that actually DID happen recently in the Pacific Ocean and was big enough to generate a tsunami (though it seems to have faded before ever hitting land), and the governments of the Pacific islands didn’t put out any warnings at all…
