WednesdayHere's interesting news from Mark Hazlewood's read-only Yahoo group.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/planetx2003/message/492
Apparently, he has packed up and moved to Canada. His girlfriend and Planet X Scam accomplace Cindy Preville has family there. It is highly probable that Hazlewood has decided that moving in with his future in-laws is much more preferable than to sit around Miami, Florida waiting for the first lawsuits to begin naming him. With his residence in Canada, Hazlewood will find it much easier to deflect the civil lawsuits which are likely headed his way when the mythical "Nibiru" doesn't make its appearance in May.
"Break a leg", Mark. You've joined a long list of US criminals who took their back-door escape hatch up to our northern neighbor.

The following points were made on the sci.astro newsgroup and have been added to the archives in the interest of future clarity.

I'll also take the time to note Nancy Lieder and her increasing delusion of paranoia. Last week's ZetaTalk IRC session was conducted in a "Invite Only" password protected chatroom by Victoria Ridout, in order to "shield" the cult from the hoards of evil Bush-supporting Debunkers. As it turned out, Ridout's (QueenVee's) attempt to move ALL regular ZetaTalk and PlanetX chat discussion to such a heavilly moderated room largely failed. So, currently Ridout sits in her channel #poleshiftdiscussion with the list of channel bans often up to the IRC server limit of 30. The message is simple : Adhere to all beliefs and scriptures of the cult or else you are not worthy of being saved from the apocalypse!
Not very original, to say the least.

ThursdaySomething caught my attention today --the membership of Troubled Times Inc. argued during their last board meeting about wether or not they should begin to disband the "non-profit" corporation.
Check it out.

WednesdayFrom James Randi's site at http://www.randi.org/jr/121302.html it appears he is going to be enlisting the help of astronomer Phil Plait and others to deal with ZetaTalk and the Planet X Scam.
Reader Temple Cave reminds me:"Randi, I'm sure you've heard of Nancy Lieder: the person who claims that Planet X is supposed collide with Earth, killing 90% of human life, in May of 2003. She also claims that the government is covering up the existence of this "brown dwarf," fearing public pandemonium if the existence of the rogue planet is revealed. Never mind that it should be brighter than Jupiter in the night sky, based upon its purported size and position, as it approaches us; apparently every scientist and amateur astronomer with access to a set of sky charts is in on the conspiracy, too, given the fact that it should be quite visible to the unaided eye — at night, of course.
"In any case, she and one of her minions have released photos of the planet, which provide unequivocal proof of its existence and movement towards us. I thought you might want to take a look at these incredible photos, which were released on December 4th. Just follow the link http://www.zetatalk.com/teams/rogue/nancy3.htm to see them.
I've already started digging in. I hope I can dig deep enough to be one of those ten percent left alive. BTW, the ten percent figure was apparently revealed to Nancy from a group of deep space aliens called Zetans, who channel through her to provide useful information, such as our impending destruction — sort of an Alien News Network."With the end-of-life-as-we-know-it approaching quickly, I can't for the life of me figure out why Nancy continues to make public appearances and sell her books and videos on her website. Personally, I'd be swapping those books and tapes for dried goods and a back-hoe.
"One quick question: if her predictions turn out to be true, will she qualify to win the $1,000,000.00 prize?"
I just can't resist pointing out the 9-digit accuracy of Mr. Temple's question.....! Didn't we just discuss this matter....?
This entire Planet X thing will be the subject of much debate and revelation at The Amazing Meeting in 50 days! Phil Plait and Jack Horkheimer will have much to say about all that, I assure you!

FridayHere's an interesting snipet from FunNet IRC channel #poleshiftdiscussion in which the ZetaCult is seen policing it's followers. Notice how "spunky" enters the chat room and is immediately interrogated by "QueenVee" who demands to know what he has been doing to prepare for the May 2003 "pole shift" apocalypse. He is quickly told to get lost after the discovery that he is not actually 100% committed to preparing for the coming cataclysms. This is very typical behavior for the control freak known as QueenVee. "Come back in to chat when you can demonstrate that you believe EVERYTHING that ZetaTalk has to say."

ThursdayI have added the following ZETATALK site to the list of links on the front page. It is a website put out by Brian Gillbanks who was a regular contributor to the tt-watch discussion forum. Certainly, a site worth mentioning as it contains more pieces to the whole zetatalk/planetX puzzle.

WednesdayJust a quick note that I have updated the webpage on Robert Sepehr to include his last known physical address and a link to another site which has compiled biographical information upon him.

WednesdayApparently, Mark Hazlewood has become incredibly concerned about being linked with Nancy Lieder and her ZetaTalk scam. As it becomes more apparent with each passing day that there will be no "pole-shift" or Planet X arrival, Hazlewood is setting his engines to full-reverse in an effort to preserve his future book and tape sales. He must continue his little money making scam. Afterall, he has DVDs in the works!
