I often write about a periodic cycle of pole shift catastrophes that alter the entire surface of the Earth and reduce civilizations to ruins every 12-13,000 years (probably every half-precession cycle of about 12,900 years.) But many researchers, including Graham Hancock, suggest that this (last) catastrophe roughly 12,800 years ago was caused by a comet impact – not a pole shift. Does evidence favor one theory over the other? From a Russian article I found recently:
What was the largest catastrophe in the history of the Earth: theories and facts
Researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa) have evidence that the Earth was hit by a comet or asteroid almost 13,000 years ago.
“A global catastrophe led to climate change known as the Dryas Cooldown (10730-9700 BC) and also caused the extinction of many animal species. In 2019, South African researchers analyzed rock samples recovered from peat deposits in the Limpopo province of South Africa. As a result, they found a high concentration of platinum, which is also found in celestial bodies.
According to the researchers, this is another evidence in favor of the hypothesis of a large space object colliding with the Earth – a comet or an asteroid, which probably fell in Northern Greenland, where a crater 31 kilometers in diameter and 12,800 years old was discovered under the Hiawatha glacier. Climate change has been caused by the dispersion of dust and soot in the planet’s atmosphere. Platinum has also been found in rocks of the same age in Greenland, Eurasia, North America, Mexico, and Chile.”



I feel the following adequately sums up the asteroid theory: we found impact craters, and the surface of the entire world shows a layer of dust rich in platinum (and other elements far less common on Earth) covered our world roughly 10,800 B.C. Therefore, the resulting climate changes and mass extinctions were caused by the comet (or fragments) impact.
While there are many impact craters from approximately the first century of the Younger Dryas climate change events, there is massive evidence supporting another cause – the idea that our entire galaxy has a positive and negative side separated not by a flat sheet but by a rippling, wave-like undulation between positive and negative charge. This ripple or wave reaches us roughly every 12,900 years and causes stellar micronovas and planetary pole shifts.

Our sun’s magnetic field will eventually be overwhelmed and reversed by the galactic field changes, and our planetary magnetic field is overwhelmed with both the galactic wave (which takes centuries to make the full polarity reversal) and the solar micronova (which is over in hours and is the direct and immediate trigger of the pole shifts on Earth.) This is supported by many ancient myths, legends, and religions – such as Egyptian records of the sun rising in the west and setting in the east prior to the last catastrophe – or the Greek myth of Phaethon failing the handle Apollo’s sun-chariot and coming to close to Earth and scorching it before Zeus intervened by “tilting the table” to flood the burning lands and put out the fires and returning the reins to Apollo – or the description of an intensely brightened sun from Isaiah 30:26 “…the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days…”
As our terrestrial magnetic field weakens to zero and reverses, our protection from cosmic radiation and dust temporarily disappears. The flow of the extended and greatly strengthened solar magnetic field flows right through the Earth, north to south, and carries extra cosmic dust pushed in from the galactic wave and a much greater amount of solar particles blasted out with the micronova. This also explains the high levels of platinum and other elements on the surface of the Earth at the time of pole shift events.
Earth is rarely hit by comets or asteroids, partially because the ones that intersect Earth’s orbit usually hit within the first thousand years of the establishment of such intersecting orbits, followed by long periods of stability and virtually no impacts for many thousands of years (our recent history) because Earth has cleared the path of its orbit by impacting the problems earlier…. Until the next galactic wave and micronova blasts disturb the orbits of everything in the solar system, followed by centuries of newly dislodged objects pushed into new trajectories. This causes at least a few centuries of much more frequent impacts on Earth.
So yes, there are impact craters and high levels of rare elements approximately 12,800 years ago. But I think the evidence suggests that was a result of the galactic ripple, solar micronova, and pole shift which occurred around 12,850-12,900 years ago. If the evidence truly favors a periodic (recurring) cycle of pole shift catastrophes, and not a one-time random impact event for the Pleistocene extinction that happened almost 13,000 years ago – why does our government – which funds the scientific establishment that won’t bite the hand that funds it – not admit or acknowledge the recurring pole shift cycle? (Or any other cyclic theory, such as our sun having a distant binary companion such as Sirius – or even that the sun is in one of the filaments/threads of a galactic rope of Birkeland currents of charged plasma, making it look like we are rotating with another nearby star or two as our filament channels and spirals us around the larger “rope” of entwined filaments?)
Because a one-time impact won’t happen again. Governments often love to incite fear and make the public take the action they want and have planned for. But in this case, they want the public to remain ignorant and take no action beyond continuing to work and pay taxes right up to the end, so that the elite get build, supply, and retreat into their bunkers without millions or billions of informed and angry unselected useless eaters like us banging down their doors or detonating nukes or burying their exits under tons of concrete. To avoid that, they must not teach about recurring cycles of destruction, especially if another event is due within our lifetimes. Instead we are offered distractions and lies.
The next pole shift is due in the 2nd quarter of the 21st century. There are plans to survive it. But you and I are not invited. I can find no acknowledgement of pole shift cycles by the American government. But I did recently find declassified KGB files offering Soviet acknowledgement – and they comment on known American preparations and even the Nazi archives they found on the subject. (The Nazis also expected the next pole shift in the early 21st century.)

You are building a false dychotomy, David. It is both.
Obviously a comet (kinetic impact) alone is not enough to shift poles and crust, but obviously it can accompany the process. If orbits were disturbed (remember the Nibiru theory), it will hit.
BTW, did you notice how news of the recent Ghana explosion suddenly disappeared? I bet it was a kinetic impact from space… Funny, how they made movie like “Don’t look up” but then hide the truth under the blanket.
I remember the Nibiru theory – and in my opinion, the best thing anyone ever said about it was to call it “imaginary bullshit planet.” Sitchin’s nonsense interpretation shouldn’t be taken seriously. As written years ago:
“Nibiru – as understood by most modern readers – is complete B.S. And what I mean by that is that the idea of some exoplanet from beyond our solar system orbiting in every 3600 years and coming close enough to cause catastrophes on earth – yet magically not quite close enough to mess up Earth’s orbit and kill us all in any of the last however many thousands of approaches – is not scientifically plausible. The idea was made up by the popular author Zechariah Sitchin, but it’s garbage. There is a wonderful scholarly analysis of Nibiru by a PhD here: http://www.sitchiniswrong.com/nibiru.pdf
Let’s go straight to the source for some real insights on Nibiru: In the Sumerian creation epic, the Enuma Elish, Nibiru is mentioned many times. The root of the word means “crossing point“ and although it is usually used in conjunction with a god, a star, or another astronomical body, it is sometimes used to merely represent a bridge over a river, a gateway, or a door. Nibiru is often referred to as the great god Marduk’s star or planet. It has been associated with Jupiter (many times) Mercury (once) the pole star, and an otherwise unnamed star. It is described as appearing irregularly and appearing every year, and is described as having a fixed position and as having changed its position….
So when the Enuma Elish cuneiform tells us “Nibiru is his [Marduk’s in context] star, which he made appear in the heavens” (Tablet VII, line 130-131) we know Nibiru “appears” – it had not been visible, then it becomes visible, like the galactic center during a Seyfert phase…
When the Enuma Elish says “let Nibiru be the holder of the crossing place of the heaven and of the earth” (Tablet VII, line 124) we know Nibiru sits at an important crossing place in the sky – in my opinion, the crossing point of the ecliptic and the Milky Way.
As the galactic center is normally not visible, but is brightly illuminated at the start of horrific events that periodically cause a pole shift….
One other mention from outside the Enuma Elish is also worth noting, as it describes the central position (in the central bulge of the Milky Way) and controlling role Nibiru plays in the new order in the sky when we are told “after the gods of the night [the stars] have been finished, dividing the sky in half, this star is Nibiru.” (Astrolabe B, the Star catalogue known as “KAV 218B ii, lines 29-32)
….Not every dot of light in the night sky means Nibiru is approaching. Not every lens flare in a photograph is Nibiru. Statistically, any rogue star or planet crossing near enough to Earth to cause devastation every 3600 years (for which there is no serious evidence) would have entirely destroyed the planet ages ago. While I do think the real “Nibiru” (the galactic center) will be visible in the sky soon because I think evidence points to a pole shift coming…. I merely believe Nibiru refers to the newly visible galactic center experiencing its active/Seyfert phase, [which all spiral galaxies repeatedly have] not some non-existent rogue planet allegedly approaching us.”
As for comet and asteroid impacts, like I wrote, I believe they come in the decades and centuries after the pole shift. I could be wrong. But I don’t think I’m building a false dichotomy; I believe the false narrative is the “one time event” of an impact when they know full well there is a recurring cycle of catastrophes.
Nibiru is the planet of the crossing.
Sirius is a ‘planet’ in the old sense of the word which meant non-fixed celestial light.
Being Sol’s twin, when Sirius crosses the galactic plane, so does Sol.
The crossing, which happens twice every great year, is significant in that relatively soon after the crossing, The Earth performs a 180 degree flip.
So, Nibiru is simply yet another name for Sol’s twin.
As the Lascaux painting and Great Pyramid indicate, when Sirius is in line with the celestial gnomon from the Pleiades via Taurus through Orion’s belt, then it’s topsy turvy time (aka Epiphany).
Amos 5:8 – Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of night into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth forth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.
We have already had this discussion once, so I will only sum up my old arguments that indirect obervations of orbits, storms on other planets, Pluto heatening (now cooling) atmosphere, etc PLUS Ockham razor are the best argument for a massive, strongly magnetized planet or star or both. Neutron star would be an obvious candidate.
As you liberally entertain different theories, you could entertain Nibiru idea too.
But then… aliens.
There must be some plan about aliens, which CANNOT be from Nibiru. It is really an alien problem, not Nibiru problem.
Nibiru does not exist, because aliens from Nibiru cannot/must not exist.
Zod, so who is the ‘Lord’ of Amos 5:8?
It could be Nibiru/Marduk (the other name of the said body) after all. ‘It’ is clearly too omnipresent to be just an intersection of galactic planes…
JtA, per The Lord’s prayer, The LORD, is our Father (per trinity: father, son, holy ghost). His name, being arcane, is termed ‘hallowed’, which isn’t surprising when you find out that it is Satan (from Set – Ceres/Sirius).
As anyone who looks up to see Orion can discover, The Lord is indeed making a line with The Pleiades via Orion’s belt (through Taurus).
This signals the imminence of The Earth going topsy-turvy, whereupon night suddenly becomes day, and vice versa. This diurnal/nocturnal transition being noticeable means it’s of the order of hours, i.e. so rapid that super-tsunami will wash over the land.
The galactic plane is a magnetic null zone, with flux getting denser/stronger as you go further away (until eventually, well beyond Set/Sol orbit, it drops off again). The field is symmetric about the plane, i.e. NS/SN.
Unfortunately, for magnetised spinning bodies (dragged by their parent stars from one side of the plane to the other), this means that eventually the force persuading them to re-align overcomes their angular momentum. NS-N#Earth#S-NS => 00-N#Earth#S-00 => SN-N#Earth#S-SN => Inversion => SN-S#Earth#N-SN.
Thus The Earth is one way up for 12,000 years, and the other way up, for another 12,000 years. The engendered crustal displacement consequently relocating the latitude of ice core positions closer to or further from the poles – giving rise to funky graphs that, to the ignorant, misrepresent a fairly stable biosphere.
The crossing of the plane is therefore a key point in the great year, hence the importance of knowing the planet of the crossing – our star’s binary companion. More important is the position of this planet just before topsy-turvy, i.e. in line with the Orion/Pleiades gnomon. At this point, the wheat should be brought into the barn (unjabbed into quarantine camps).
So, Zod, do you believe in aliens (like Satan and his opponent), or rater prefer to think it is all about celestial bodies since time immemorial?
JtA, the universe is mind-bogglingly big, so extra-terrestrial life (intelligent even), is a certainty.
However, I’ve come across no evidence that Earth has ever been visited by extra-terrestrial life.
Even so, I will entertain the following possible exceptions:
1) Earth’s life was seeded via panspermia.
2) There was once an extra-terrestrial visitation by space faring ancestors of h sapiens that resulted in the abrupt appearance of mammalia in the fossil record (and the disappearance of dinosaurs).
3) There may be, or have been, life (space-faring even) in the Sirius system (a mere 1,000 AU from Earth at periastron).
4) ‘2’ may have come from ‘3’.
Per my previous comments, Satan is simply another name for Sirius, The Sun’s binary companion. Casting these twin celestial bodies as opponents or opposites is simply a way of encoding knowledge of their nature: barycentric dancing partners. Black & white, dark & light, male & female, good & evil, are purely figurative. Both are equally responsible for Earth’s polar flip twice per orbit.
There is ongoing Central Asia 3-countries wide blackout – in Kasachstan, Uzbekistan, Kirgistan – but very scarce news about it.
Apparently the reason behind it was a sudden overload of grid.
Interesting to note that as soon as there is no power, entire countries disappear, so to say…
Blackout of blackout, you could say…
Could be the darkness plague out of Apocalypse. So they do not really speak about it.
Hello David,
may I ask, where you have this KGB file from? Have you ever seen the Original? I have a feeling, that someone sent you this to discredit you. I am only in the beginning of reading, but there is for example the “Admiral Byrd”-Story in this file, which I investigate more than five years ago in depth (!) and this story is a utterly fabrication. Byrd never said anything like this. There was only one magazin that translate the right story of a chilean newspaper (the fear of Byrd that the enemy, the russians, can attack the US over the poles) to english and fabricate the myth of objects that can fly from pole to pole. Later right wing esoterics frabricated a story of UFOs attacking Byrd (there is no single evidence for this. It´s entirely fabricated) and even later the story grow beyond hollow earth, a green warm oasis on antarctica etc.
To see such a story in this file discredit the whole thing for me and I was willing to overlook some other small things but this story goes too far. Maybe the poleshift-story in this file is the truth and was covered with lies on purpose but this is in my opinion for certain not a original.
Greetings from the insane Austria
I agree at first glance the English version of the KGB file is questionable. But I did find the original Russian version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i-nFEitttssJQWFRL_YkAnSwVn0BCnvZ/view and many more associated files including hundreds of photos of monuments and artifacts from around the world that also got the Russians’ attention.
Thank you David for the original! Even when there a questionable things in this document, there is a lot of useful and believable information too. It´s entirely possible, maybe even necessary, to fill the documents with a few fabricated stories to discredit the whole thing, when it´s become unintenionally public. Ultimately, if this cyclic cataclysm ist true, then this is the first lie the whole civilisation of mankind ist built upon. It´s the secret of all secrets. Never can there be built a long time stable hierachical structure of master-class and slave-class, when a 12.000-year-cycle is common knowledge.

Talking about Sitchin for a moment, I would really like to know who was behind the publication of his books, as the damage control has been immense since then, and the Sitchin service to the elite in the form of the false ‘Day of the Lord’ date in his last book was rater negligible, notwithstanding that his calculation was faulty for everyone with a grasp of astronomy.
Perhaps the matter of pole shift should be considered from an engineering perspective, specifically the field of fluid mechanics. After all, the Earth’ s crust is sitting on a fluid but magma is not an ordinary fluid. Magma is a non-Newtonian fluid which means that it shall not flow below a certain threshold of shear stress. This stress has to be reached before flow occurs and so a model should be established in one’s mind in order that the problem may be assessed on a correct basis. Consider firstly the perfect model by taking a sphere with an outer crust, below which is a non-Newtonian fluid with a yield strength more or less uniform around the sphere. Below the fluid is a high density material, effectively inviscid and this is present to the centre of the sphere. Owing to the thermal and pressure gradients increasing towards the core, the properties of the fluid would not be constant with depth. Now make the sphere spin on what shall now be its principal axis with each end as its poles. The core and the shell shall achieve equal angular velocity and there would be no relative angular movement and thus minimal stress in the fluid. Now apply ‘wobble’ to the rotation. Here and clearly so, there shall be phase lag between crust and core and given the nature of the intermediate fluid, stress shall develop in the fluid incrementally on each cycle. This may be slow and imperceptible but it shall happen. Look now at the lower illustration on page 9 of the attachment:
http://www.geo.umass.edu/courses/volcanology/Lava%20Flows.pdf
As is seen, the stress in the fluid as shown in the vertical axis shall increase on each cycle until the yield point at which the fluid shall flow or, in this model, the crust shall move relative to the core until shear stresses are dissipated. It should be noted that as flow commences, viscosity as measured by the slope from origin to stress value reduces. If the Earth adhered to this perfect model, the velocity would increase until the shear stress which drove the flow is dissipated, though the angular momentum of the relative movement would ensure overshoot even in the absence of shear stress. Of course, the Earth does not adhere to this perfect model but the perfect model can be tested and calculations developed, then corrective factors applied to support or refute the model as applied to the Earth e.g. the Earth is not exactly spherical…..the crust is imperfect etc….
Allan, that may well help explain crustal displacement in terms of how the crust is able to slide, but it doesn’t explain the causative force that gives rise to it.
Bearing in mind that (twice a great year) the crust only displaces by a few degrees, 20° say (Siberia from ~40° to ~60°), and that this is accompanied by extreme terrestrial upheaval (not just a gradual displacement taking years), it is highly likely that the displacement is not that which gives rise to the upheaval, but that which results from it. So, consider the existence of a steadily increasing external magnetic field, in diametric opposition to the Earth’s own field. Eventually, as The Earth’s magnetic poles are deflected at an accelerating rate, and its field strength appears to diminish, The Earth will axially destabilise and perform a 180° axial flip within the space of 10-20 hours. That flip (with abrupt halt) is the source of the force giving rise to crustal displacement.
Correction…..”Below the fluid is a high density material, effectively inviscid (d’oh – read as ‘solid’) and…..”
How’s a pole shift going to wipe out civilizations? It’s a polarity reverse. And, for the entire history of the earth it’s been happening regularly – without extinctions to match it. The ocean plates record it the best.
If you read much here, you’ll learn it is far more than a polarity reversal. Look at the Laurentide ice sheet that was centered on Hudson Bay and ask yourself, if the North Pole was in its current position, why were Alaska and Siberia warm while New York was covered in ice?
