Well, you don't get a better source than this! The British Geological Survey (Natural Environment Research Counsel) states that the "South Atlantic Anomaly" (SAA) is indeed growing. Read this excerpt below for an explanation:
A magnetic reversal in progress?
The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is known to be growing in extent and spreading westwards from South Africa, as the Earth’s internal magnetic field rapidly weakens in this region. This may be early evidence of a forthcoming reversal in the direction of the Earth’s internal magnetic field. We do not know in detail precisely what occurs during such reversals, including the changes observed in the magnetic field and the time a reversal takes to complete. However these factors are important in knowing where the radiation risk may be increased and how the atmosphere might respond.
Earth’s magnetic field has had many highs, lows and reversals in its past. The last reversal was around 800,000 years ago. So the Earth is known to be able to re-generate its field and has done so during human pre-history. Understanding the development of the SAA may therefore be significant in understanding the reversal process and its impact on life and the natural environment.

What is the South Atlantic Anomaly?
The Earth’s magnetic field, generated deep within the planet, is a shield against particle radiation from space. In the South Atlantic this shield is much weaker than elsewhere across the globe and radiation from space therefore penetrates deeper into the atmosphere. This region is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) and the radiation in the SAA is a known hazard to satellites, spacecraft and high-altitude aircraft.
Monitoring changes in magnetic field
The radiation input into the atmosphere depends on the Sun’s magnetic and radiation activity and the geometry (or ‘shape’) of the Earth’s magnetic field. So, understanding the space environment, particularly during magnetic storms, is important. Equally important is understanding any changes over time in the magnetic field observed across the surface of the Earth – see also Long-term monitoring of the Earth’s magnetic field.

New South Georgia Magnetic Observatory
By establishing a magnetic observatory on South Georgia BGS geomagnetists will specifically help to develop our understanding of the SAA by:
Joined up monitoring
Directly observing changes in the SAA in a region (mid Atlantic Ocean) poorly covered by permanent magnetic observatories. In the middle of the ocean only Ascension Island, Tristan da Cunha and St Helena observatories can provide monitoring of the magnetic field and its changes. We need to better relate observations of the SAA made separately on the land masses of Africa and South America. South Georgia observatory will therefore be a key addition to this small network of observatories.
Improving predictions
Providing new data to construct better mathematical models of the magnetic field. Such models can be used to infer how the flow of liquid iron in the outer core of the Earth is changing. This fluid flow sustains our magnetic field and forecasting how it changes in time will help improve predictions of future change in the SAA.
Understanding the complete ‘Earth System’
Promoting collaboration between space scientists, concerned with Earth’s space environment, and geoscientists, concerned with Earth’s other environments. There are major communities of these researchers both in the UK and internationally and the expertise of both space- and geo-scientists are needed to fully understand the complete ‘Earth system’. Measuring, monitoring and modelling the Earth’s magnetic field is a key aspect of this understanding and that is BGS’ contribution to this endeavour.

Proof Of Magnetic Pole Shift (Reversal)
Image credit: NOAA National Geophysical Data Center
Pole Reversal evidence is clearly shown in NOAA’s new data from the National Geophysical Data Center, named “EMAG2″ Earth Magnetic Anomaly Grid (2-arc-minute resolution).
The map colors represent the direction of magnetism of the crustal surface rock (0 – 30 miles deep) as compared to the direction of magnetism of the earth’s core field deep below. The largest portion of the Earth’s magnetic field is generated in the Earth’s core, while magnetized rocks in the crust and upper mantle also make a significant contribution.
This map tells it all.
The way it works is…
New crust forms about 1 inch per year in many places, and during this process and as magnetic minerals cool below 1,100 degrees F, they develop a magnetic field and direction the same as the the strong core field beneath. This is ‘pretty cool’ because we can then ‘see’ the various fields and their magnetic ‘directions’ by way of data-mapping the magnetic fields of the surface crust and upper mantle.

Here’s how to interpret the colors on the map…
The red-to-purple areas indicate magnetic fields of the surface to be in the same direction as the core field, creating a ‘positive anomaly’. The blue-to-black areas indicate where the magnetic fields on the surface oppose the core field, resulting in a ‘negative anomaly’.
The red-to-purple areas indicate magnetic fields of the surface to be in the same direction as the core field, creating a ‘positive anomaly’. The blue-to-black areas indicate where the magnetic fields on the surface oppose the core field, resulting in a ‘negative anomaly’.
Yellow, white and light-blue indicate areas in which the surface field is either very weak, or is in the same direction as the (stronger) core field.
Pacific Ocean west of California
What to look for…
On the ocean floor ridges you can clearly see stripes of uniformly magnetized crust on each side of a ridge. Every few hundred thousand years the core field reverses direction, and the next set of stripes therefore acquires the opposite direction of magnetization. This is clearly visible in EMAG2 as striped patterns which are symmetric about the ridges and appear asopposing colors of red-purple to blue-black.
Wikipedia:
The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis suggests that there have been geologically rapid shifts in the relative positions of the modern-day geographic locations of the poles and the axis of rotation of the Earth, creating calamities such as floods and tectonic events. Between approximately 790 and 810 million years ago, when the supercontinent Rodinia existed, two geologically-rapid phases of true polar wander may have occurred. In each of these, the Earth rotated ~55°
Are we overdue for a magnetic pole shift? Many say yes.
Do we know how quickly the pole shift will occur? No we do not. Many believe it is a very slow process, while others believe it to be much quicker.
Do we know the consequences of a magnetic pole shift? There is (are) the obvious issues with navigation methods that may still use magnetic compass. Many believe that earth stresses will occur resulting in dramatic earthquake and volcanic activity and some believe that during a magnetic shift that the surface of the earth will be highly vulnerable to solar radiation which is typically kept in check from the earth’s magnetic field.
Be Prepared.

1. Ending of Earth's Current Precessional Wobble.
“In astronomy, precession refers to the movement of the rotational axis of a body, such as a planet, with respect to inertial space. In particular, it refers to the precession of the Earth's rotational axis, also called the precession of the equinoxes. Like a wobbling top, the orientation of the Earth's axis is slowly but continuously changing, tracing out a conical shape in a cycle of approximately 25,765 years (the so called Great or Platonic year, and also the determining factor in the length of an astrological age). This movement is caused by the gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon, and to a lesser extent other bodies, on the equatorial bulge of the spinning Earth. The term "precession" typically refers only to this largest periodic motion; other changes in the alignment of Earth's axis — nutation and polar motion — are very much smaller in magnitude.”[1]
Basically, the Earth is spinning on its axis, similar to a spinning top. It takes 25,765 years for it to finish one wobble, and then it starts another. Why is this important? Well, most researchers believe the earth is going to be completing its current wobble soon- "coincidentally?" on Dec 21st, 2012, to be exact.
What is concerning is that geological evidence indicates some previous pole shifts and earth crust displacements have occurred at the same time as the ending/beginning of a precessional wobble. Some researchers believe that the earth is somehow vulnerable at this point in its wobble, and particularly so to gravitational influences (such as the one mentioned in the next sections).
2. Galactic Alignment.
“The Galactic Alignment is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator.”[2]
In other words, our galaxy (the Milky Way) has a center. All the stars revolve around it. During each precessional wobble (25,765 years), there are four occasions when our galactic center aligns with the sunrise of a solstice or equinox.
Once again, why is this important? Well, once again, "coincidentally?" and amazingly enough, we have a galactic alignment occuring on Dec 21st, 2012...
3. Weakening of Earth's Magnetic Fields. The earth's magnetic field has decreased by 10% in the past century, is continuing to decrease, and the rate of that decrease accelerating. Many scientists believe, and the evidence supports it, that the weakening of the magnetic fieldheralds a pole shift. The reason being is that in flipping, it "recharges" the earth's magnetic field- imagine a battery, where positive is on one end, and negative the other. The question is at what point during the earth's weaking magnetic field that the shift will occur, and the answer is unknown.

1. Ancient Knowledge of Planet X and Survivor Descriptions of Previous System Pass Throughs.
According to researcher Zecharia Sitchin, the Sumerians had numerous epics where they explicitly reference Planet X, referred to as Nibiru.- Many believe that references in the Christian Bible by Elijah to “The Destroyer” (Jeremiah 25:32 and 48:8) are to Planet X- "Disasters will soon spread from nation to nation. They will come like a powerful storm to all the faraway places on earth... The Destroyer will come against every town, not one town will escape."
- A previous pass was described extensively in the Kolbrin Bible, as "The Destroyer/Frightener". For example:
- Egyptian Texts of the Bronzebook
- Creation 4:5- "..God caused a sign to appear in the Heaves, so that men should know the earth would be afflicted, and the sign was a strange star."
- Manuscripts 3:10- "...the hour of the Destroyer is at hand...".
- Manuscripts 33:5- "... four times the stars have moved to new positions and twice the Sun has [appeared to] change the direction of his journey. Twice The Destroyer has struck Earth and three times the heavens have opened and shut. Twice the land has been swept clean by water." [See below about the associated pole shift with Planet X's pass through.]
- Manuscripts 3:3- "When ages pass, certain laws operate upon the stars in the Heavens. Their ways change; there is movement and restlessness, they are no longer constant and a great light appears redly in the skies."
- Manuscripts 3:4- "When blood drops upon the Earth, the destroyer will appear, and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by the land, and seas will boil."
- GLN:4:28- "The swelling waters swept up to the mountain tops and filled the valleys. [They] came in great surging torrents... the Destroyer passed away and the gread flood remained seven days afterward. Then the waters spread out calmly. There was brown scum and debris".
- Celtic Texts of the Coelbook
- Silver Bough 7:18- "...I am the prophet to tell men of The Frightener,though many generations will pass before it appears. It will be a thing of monstrous greatness arising in the form of a crab.. its body will be red... It will spread destruction across the Earth, running from sunrise to sunset.".
2. Ancient Knowledge of Poles and Descriptions of Pole Shifts. Many primitive tribes describe not only poles explicitly, but also pole shifts:
- Kolbrin Bible, Manuscripts 33:5 - "... four times the stars have moved to new positions and twice the Sun has [appeared to] change the direction of his journey. Twice The Destroyer has struck Earth and three times the heavens have opened and shut. Twice the land has been swept clean by water."
- The Greenland Eskimos told early missionaries that long ago the Earth "turned over".
- The Pawnee Indians tell the same story of a time when the north and south polar stars changed places and "went to visit each other".
- Brazilian myth describes how the heavens burst and fragments fell down killing everything and everyone as heavens and Earth changed places.
- The Hopi tribe have a legend that explains the death of the second world. There were supposedly two twins, Poqanghoya and Plongawhoya, who were guardians of the north and south axes of the world. They were ordered by Sotuknang, a nephew of the Creator, to abandon their posts since people had become evil. This would allow the destruction of the second world, and allow a new world to form. According to the legend, when the twins left their posts, the world went crazy in space. Eventually Sotuknang ordered [the twins] to their stations at the poles of the world axis. With a great shudder and a splintering of ice the planet began rotating again. When it was revolving smoothly about its own axis and stately moving in its universal orbit, the ice began to melt and the world began to warm to life. Sokutnang set about creating the Third World.[6]
- Some researchers believe that the description of the Flood in the Christian Bible is describing the tidal surges associated with an ECD. This is also described in the Kolbrin Bible, as seen above, seemingly in association with a pass of Planet X:
- OGS:3:22,23- "Then... came a high wave wall of dark, white-fang-edged waters... carried everything... as a broom sweeps the floor... fruits of the land, house debris, trees, bloated dead animals and humans floated upon the wild, wide waters... earthy, brown, foamy scum... great downpouring of rain which stopped after seven days, surging seas tore even between the high mountains.. [Their ancestors] saw the swimming house, made fast against the sea, come up to the land, and out of it came men and beasts from Tirfola [North American continent]".
- Gleanings 4:24- "The Destroyer... opened its mouth and belched forth fire, hot stones, and a vile smoke. It covered the whole sky above and meeting place of Earth and Heaven could no longer be seen. In the evening, the places of the stars were changed, they rolled across the sky to new stations; then, the floodwaters came".
- Gleanings 4:28- "The swelling waters swept up to the mountain tops and filled the valleys. They did not rise like water poured into a bowl, but came in great surging torrents...".
- Old Chinese texts describe how the pillars supporting the sky crumbled; of how the sun, moon and stars poured down in the northwest where the Earth sank and a great conflagration was quenched by a raging flood.
- North American traditions refer to great clouds appearing and a heat so powerful that the waters boiled.
- Peruvian legends say that the Andes Mountains were ripped apart when the sky made war with the Earth.

At this point, if you believe the evidence, you may be thinking "should I even try to prepare for it... what kind of life would I have?" The answer is YES! All the archeological evidence shows that there is critical period of 3-4 years of tribulation and struggle to survive, but then the earth will bloom and it triggers an evolutionary jumpstart for mankind. There will be abundant and new vegetation, as old climates are revived and blended with the new climate. Also, historically, man tends to be revitalized, and dealing with the change spurs innovation.
In preparing for 2012, I highly recommend you read "Planet X Forecast and 2012 Survival Guide" by Jacco van der Worp, Marshall Masters, and Janice Manning [Members of Mensa!]. It has wonderful information.
You need to be prepared to survive on your own for a 3-4 year period; items such as food, water source, survival gear, medical and first aid, defense, etc. Also, consider your geographical location- high altitude areas are HIGHLY recommended, given the scientific supposition (and historical eyewitness accounts) of tidal surges that cover entire continents.
Worrying about vague predictions that have no substantiated reasons is nonsensical- look at how many times Christians believed the end of the world was coming, the end of world predictions by Nostradmous, or even the Y2K scare. However, in contrast, the above IS cause for concern as current and upcoming events are known scientific facts. Let's look at some of these facts:
- The earth goes through periodic pole shifts and earth crust displacements.
- The earth's magnetic field has been unexplicably weakening.
- The earth's molten iron (that powers the magnetic field) was jolted, and is "jerking" the magnetic north pole- which has begun moving at an accelerated rate.
- The sun's activity has reached a new high, and is more magnetically active now that in the last 1,000 years.
- Recently a sun spot appeared on the sun- magnetically backward.
- In 2005, NASA has been so concerned with solar blasts and the effects on the sun (such as the unprecedent solar flares) that they claimed the space weather theory scrapped.
- The earth is finishing its current precessional cycle in 2012.
- Geological evidence (such as magnetically charged lava) has shown that pole shifts occur at the ending/beginning of precessional cycles.
- Primitive peoples specifically describe pole shifts and earth crust displacements.
The above is alarming, since they are what scientists believe are the precursors to a pole shift. This is even more worrisome when you take into consideration that it is believed pole shifts occur every 11,500-12,000 years ago, and the last one is believed to have occurred in 9792 BC- 11,800 years ago... And yet no one wants to consider that a pole shift could be imminent! Why? I believe it has to do with the mentality of not expecting disasters to happen to you personally. Look at people whose homes are devestated by a tornado- despite living in a region where they are KNOWN to happen, they invariably say something like "I never thought this would happen to me!"
Given that the Mayan were acknowledged genius of astronomy and mathematics, and probably survivors from a previous pole shift and ECD, it is no coincidence that their long "year" calendar is the same as the suspected time span between pole shifts. They based their prediction on their knowledge of these astronomical events and the survivors' knowledge of the consequences. We ignore such a warning at our own peril.
In the end, as a result of studying the scientific facts and antedoctal evidence, I believe that we are facing a dual threat- the imminent return of Planet X as well as a pole shift with likely ECD. This is truly not "the end of the world" as both the earth and man has survived these events before; however, neither should it be dismissed because many will die and civilization regress significantly. We must begin preparation NOW.
I urge my family and friends to start preparation; after all, what can it hurt? I believe that our government DOES know about these events and their consequences, and are taking them seriously; however, I doubt we will be lucky enough to be some of the "chosen few". I believe that the events of 2012 are the reason for the events of 9-11; on my companion site I detail the facts that show our government either allowed (or caused) the events of 9-11 to happen in order to provide the justification to pass unconstituitional legislation that free-spirited Americans would normally never allow. An example is the John Warner Defense Authorization Act and Martial Law Presidential Decision Directive 51, authorizing the President to declare martial law without the involvement of Congress and allowing the President to take total control over all levels of government. Up until now, I simply did not know WHY; what could possibly be so serious as to necessitate and justify such a horrible action like 9-11, and what will this legislation (such as the martial law) be used FOR? Now I know- for the events of 2012. It is believed they have prepared both land and sea arks, and identified critical personnel (both military, civilian, govermental and non- in some cases, people don't even know they've been selected) for inclusion. The average citizen will not be saved, but the human race will survive- a cold comfort.
