Why A 2012 Pole Shift Now?
Pole shifts are cyclic occurrences on the Earth and the cycles are natural. This is something that happens to the Earth naturally through cosmic cycles that happen like clockwork when looked at from the perspective of celestial events. Spiritual texts in some traditions suggest that these pole reversals happen every 26,000 years and that the north and south pole have switched before more than once. In Hindu texts these cycles are called Yugas. Even the Bible says in Isaiah 24:1, "Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down." The Mayans also have records and legends of such occurrences. Somewhere in humanity's innate knowledge, this information is within and is recorded in a way that could be taken quite literally in light of today's challenges with the possible 2012 polar shift coming soon. Scientific proof and evidence shows that there have been pole reversals before on Earth as well.
It is a natural cycle when Earth goes above and below the galactic equator every 26,000 years. It takes 26,000 years for this solar system to make one full orbit around the galactic centre. Each time it does this it goes through the galactic equator and the Earth's poles reverse. This happens back and forth every 26,000 years.
NASA has verified that there is now positive magnetism energy appearing in the south pole, which is normally supposed to be in the north pole only. The South pole is supposed to only have a negative magnetic charge. In the past 150 years, there has been a migration between the north and south poles and their respective magnetic charges of positive and negative magnetic reversal. Another thing that NASA has observed is that the sun literally reverses its poles every 11 years at the peak of each sunspot cycle. The solar pole shift </2012/2012Pgs/Sun-Solar-2012-Poleshift-Flares-Storms.html> will happen again in 2012 exactly. There is some concern about the extra solar activity that will be happening in the sun during this cycle, solar cycle 24, but there is some comfort in the fact that 2012 is just another normal time for the solar cycle to happen. It is natural.

Effects Of A Pole Shift, Polar Flip
The effects of the pole shift may have some terrible results in a short period, or perhaps it will be gentle and take a hundred years to take place if it happens in a long period. Since human beings have never been through a pole shift that they know of in recorded history, no one really knows how a pole shift is going to work or what the results will be.
If a pole shift does take place, it is said that the axis and magnetism of Earth will be changed, the poles will flip and reverse so that the south pole will have a positive magnetic charge instead of a negative magnetic charge, and the north pole will have a negative magnetic charge instead of the positive magnetic charge it now has. When this happens, it is believed that the Earth's rotation will change as well. The Earth's rotation will completely reverse and will literally spin in the opposite direction. Now no one knows this for sure, but scientists at NASA are presuming the reversal would take place. The science of magnetism depicts that if the poles reverse then Earth's rotation will also reverse.
The cataclysmic effects would be that the bodies of water would actually move just the way the water in a glass would slosh if the direction the glass is moving is changed. All the people who live in the "slosh zone" would be subject to tsunamis and flooding in 2012 if 2012 is when it happens. This is the scientific premise in the 2012: We Were Warned movie and the movie asks "what if the Earth's spin changed, the poles flip, and the water moves?" Of course this question gives way to another "end of the world" cataclysmic movie, which Hollywood seems to love putting out, and of course the public supports this by buying tickets! It seems that everyone loves a good special effects "end of the world" disaster movie
The other thing that would happen according to scientists is that the Earth would not be stable during such a drastic change in its magnetic field. Tectonic plates would shift and move, earthquakes would happen, volcanic activity would be triggered, and incredible storms with wind and water would happen on the surface of the Earth while the weather patterns readjust. This of course would not support human habitation. If the 2012 polar shift is this drastic, yes, everyone would have serious challenges in surviving it.

Cataclysms Happened Before On Earth, Is It Because of Niburu, Planet X?
Polar shifts have happened before on the Earth in history, and Noah's flood was one record of such an event. While a polar shift was not the reason why in that instance, it is believed that it is possible that the passing of Niburu </2012/2012Pgs/Nibiru-Planet-X-2012-Niburu-Annunaki-Sumerian.html>, Planet X </2012/2012Pgs/Who/Zecharia-Sitchen-Earth-Chronicles-Annunaki-12th-Planet-Nibiru.html>, through this solar system is the reason why. Same thing with Atlantis. It is believed that somewhere around every 9-10,000 years a cataclysmic event happens globally because of the gravitational pull and influence of Niburu, Planet X. While it is supposedly a planet that passes through this solar system every 3600 years, it doesn't always create such cataclysm because only sometimes does Niburu, Planet X, pass through while the sun is directly on the other side of Earth when it happens. That seems to happen only sometimes, not every time, when Nibiru, Planet X, passes through. However, when that does happen, the effects are disastrous.
It is believed that Nibiru, PlanetX, was also what involved when Atlantis sunk underwater. It may have been one of the cyclic celestial happenings when Nibiru, Planet X passed through. Also, what happened to the dinosaurs? Almost everyone accepts that it was some kind of cataclysmic event that ended the lives of all the dinosaurs. Could such a thing happen again?
This time there is a far bigger possibility for cataclysm than ever before. Not only is Nibiru, Planet X, in the mix, but this time is also a time when Earth will be passing through the galactic equator and will be lined up with the centre of the galaxy in a profound galactic alignment. Some even say that there is a serpent light coming from the galaxy which supposedly will create a profound change in human consciousness. Whenever the Earth passes through this particular serpent light, which is a "cord" of energy that is coming from the centre of the galaxy and is always in this particular place that Earth passes through every 26,000 years, the energy of anything it touches, in this case the Earth and its inhabitants, changes.

Magnetic Weakening of Earth's Magnetic Field, Magnetic Strength Decreasing
At the time of the dinosaurs, the Earth's magnetic field was at 2.5 gauss which was 80% stronger than it is now. It is believed that the Earth's magnetic field could drop to 0, especially during a pole shift, and no one really knows what would happen if that occurs. A few things that are definitely going to happen if the Earth's magnetic field drops to 0 is that all electronic devices will fail, become damaged, and possibly irreparable. Satellites would be lost. Direction based on magnetism would be obsolete, and even bird migrations would be completely interrupted, which in essence would endanger those types of species.
The worst thing that will occur, however, is that the sun's radiation will have no obstacle to reaching the Earth and the Earth will literally be uninhabitable for humans if that is the case. The magnetic field of Earth serves particularly to block radiation, the harmful rays of the sun, from reaching the surface. Plants would not be able to grow, animals will die, and so will all humans who are still left on the surface.
This weakening of the Earth's magnetic field has been happening for 2000 years, some scientists say. In the past 20 years the magnetic field has become erratic and unstable and the equipment for airplanes actually had to be readjusted for this change in the Earth's magnetic field behaviour.
After Noah's flood, God told Noah, it is said in the Bible, that the Earth will be destroyed by fire next time it is destroyed. Could solar radiation be how that happens? Or perhaps even a solar plasma cloud, which some say is another way that it is possible for the sun to fry the Earth in an instant. A solar plasma cloud is literally a piece of the sun that breaks off and shoots into space, and it would fry anything it touches. Some say that the sun has spewed solar plasma clouds off into space before and fortunately the Earth wasn't in its path.

Precluded By Increasing Cataclysmic Activity on Earth
It is said by some geologists and scientists that 11,500 years ago a deadly cycle happened and this is the point at which this cycle will happen again where another ice age will come back. It is said that there are increased cataclysmic type occurrences when these cycles happen. Whether this 11,500 year cycle is true or not is unknown, just like all of this talk about poles shifting in 2012, but one thing is for certain. Drastic Earth disasters are occurring more often and closer together.
In the past 200 years, 3 of the largest ever earthquakes have happened and earthquake occurrences have gone up by 62% in that time period. Underwater volcanoes and earthquakes in the oceans have gone up by 88% in the past three years, increasing the ocean's temperature and is already affecting the ocean's life forms. It definitely seems as if the Earth is shifting for some reason or another and that it is quite possible we are headed for another dinosaur level global disaster.
