How We Knew AL00667 Would Miss Earth

jefu writes "In January there seems to have been an incident in which it was thought that an object (asteroid) in space might have hit the earth within a couple of days of being spotted. It did miss, though. This story (from NASA/Ames) talks about the discovery of the object and the process that astronomers went through to determine if the asteroid was or was not a threat."

You think all those edifaces in Washington being built around masonic symbolism happens without some string pulling and behind the scenes influence?

It doesn't really matter if the symbols and magic numbers themselves mean anything. Not when the cold, hard fact of the matter is that there are hidden people with gobs of wealth, power and access to knowledge which rest of us only gets through a filter, if at all. When people like that are running the show, then hell yes, I'm going to stop and look up when I hear the number 666 added to an asteroid name or such.

Chicken or the Egg; after a while it doesn't matter. When it comes to broad metaphoric symbols, they still always tend to add up to the same thing. Self-fulfilling prophecy may be silly, but it remains a big deal when the people fulfilling it can affect everybody's life through their antics.
