DOOM DOOMA DOOMSAYER PREDICTS HEAVENLY STRIKE BY ASTEROID - BEIJING IS DOOMED
At Special Frontier Force, I am known as 'Doom Dooma Doomsayer' for I predict Evil Red Empire's Downfall because of a cataclysmic event which she cannot ward off by paying ransom. The term 'apocalypse' means unveiling or revelation; it depicts destruction of 'Evil' and triumph of Good. Apocalypse often refers to striking disclosure of something not previously realized. The term 'prophesy' means declaration or prediction of something under the influence of divine guidance. In Bible, the term 'Prophet' describes person who speaks for God as though under divine guidance, and Prophet often predicts future events.
The term 'Doom' means 'what is laid down',decree, judgment, sentence of condemnation, destiny, tragic fate, ruin, and to ordain as penalty. I am named 'DOOMSAYER' for I am predisposed to predicting catastrophe or disaster, calamity, or 'The Deluge'. My predisposition is inherited at a place known as DOOM DOOMA, Assam, in Northeast India. I am not a prophet and I am not claiming that I am making a new prophetic revelation. By divine guidance, I received opportunity to read Book of Isaiah, and Book of Revelation to learn that the term 'EVIL' is always associated with Calamity, Disaster, Downfall, Catastrophe, Cataclysm, Trouble, and Woe for evil action always brings its own punishment as a consequence. Evildoer is judged, condemned, and is punished. Evil moves towards its own end of self-destruction.
Evil Red Empire, Red Dragon, Red China embraced self-destruction for her evil actions. Hence, with no further doubt, I pronounce, "Beijing is Doomed." I am not predicting random, spontaneous, purposeless strike or impact by an asteroid. I am predicting Heavenly Strike that is Precise, Selective, Guided, Goal-Oriented and Purposeful for it delivers Justice while destroying Evil.

A diagram shows the orbit of an asteroid named 2013 TV135 (in blue), which made headlines in September 2013 when it passed close by Earth. The probability of it striking Earth one day stands at 1 in 63,000, and even those odds are fading fast as scientists find out more about the asteroid. It will most likely swing past our planet again in 2032, according to NASA.

Asteroid 2012 DA14 made a record-close pass -- 17,100 miles -- by Earth on February 15, 2013. Most asteroids are made of rocks, but some are metal. They orbit mostly between Jupiter and Mars in the main asteroid belt. Scientists estimate there are tens of thousands of asteroids and when they get close to our planet, they are called near-Earth objects.

Another asteroid, Apophis, got a lot of attention from space scientists and the media when initial calculations indicated a small chance it could hit Earth in 2029 or 2036. NASA scientists have since ruled out an impact, but on April 13, 2029, Apophis, which is about the size of 3½ football fields, will make a close visit -- flying about 19,400 miles (31,300 kilometers) above Earth's surface. The images above were taken by the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory in January 2013.

If you really want to know about asteroids, you need to see one up close. NASA did just that. A spacecraft called NEAR-Shoemaker, named in honor of planetary scientist Gene Shoemaker, was the first probe to touch down on an asteroid, landing on the asteroid Eros on February 12, 2001. This image was taken on February 14, 2000, just after the probe began orbiting Eros.

The first asteroid to be identified, 1 Ceres, was discovered January 1, 1801, by Giuseppe Piazzi in Palermo, Sicily. But is Ceres just another asteroid? Observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope show that Ceres has a lot in common with planets like Earth. It's almost round and it may have a lot of pure water ice beneath its surface. Ceres is about 606 by 565 miles (975 by 909 kilometers) in size and scientists say it may be more accurate to call it a mini-planet. NASA's Dawn spacecraft is on its way to Ceres to investigate. The spacecraft is 35 million miles (57 million kilometers) from Ceres and 179 million miles (288 million kilometers) from Earth. The photo on the left was taken by Keck Observatory, Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The image on the right was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Asteroids have hit Earth many times. It's hard to get an exact count because erosion has wiped away much of the evidence. The mile-wide Meteor Crater in Arizona, seen above, was created by a small asteroid that hit about 50,000 years ago, NASA says. Other famous impact craters on Earth include Manicouagan in Quebec, Canada; Sudbury in Ontario, Canada; Ries Crater in Germany, and Chicxulub on the Yucatan coast in Mexico.

NASA scientists say the impact of an asteroid or comet several hundred million years ago created the Aorounga crater in the Sahara Desert of northern Chad. The crater has a diameter of about 10.5 miles (17 kilometers). This image was taken by the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1994.

What else is up there? Is anyone watching? NASA's NEAR-EARTH OBJECT PROGRAM is trying to track down all asteroids and comets that could threaten Earth. NASA says 9,672 near-Earth objects have been discovered as of February 5, 2013. Of these, 1,374 have been classified as Potentially Hazardous Asteroids, or objects that could one day threaten Earth.

One of the top asteroid-tracking scientists is Don Yeomans at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed by the California Institute of Technology. Yeomans says every day, "Earth is pummeled by more than 100 tons of material that spewed off asteroids and comets." Fortunately, most of the asteroid trash is tiny and it burns up when it hits the atmosphere, creating meteors, or shooting stars. Yeomans says it's very rare for big chunks of space litter to hit Earth's surface. Those chunks are called meteorites.

Story highlights
- An asteroid isn't going to cause the end of the world in September, NASA says
- The rumors are fueled by end-times conspiracists
(CNN)Dear Earthlings, stop worrying about an asteroid collision in September.
That's the message from NASA, which countered a viral rumor Wednesday with a news release.
The headline was blunt: "NASA: There is No Asteroid Threatening Earth."
"There is no scientific basis -- not one shred of evidence -- that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth" on the rumored dates, said NASA's Paul Chodas, manager at NASA's Near-Earth Object office. The Near-Earth Object office is based at Pasadena, California's, Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Moreover, said Chodas, the chances of an asteroid striking in the next century are minuscule.
"Not a single one of the known objects has any credible chance of hitting our planet over the next century," he said. The chances of a "Potentially Hazardous Asteroid" -- as they are known -- striking our little blue planet? Less than 0.01%.
That's not nothing, but it's not terrible, either, As astronomer Phil Plai observed in a 2014 Slate article, the odds of dying in an asteroid impact are 1 in 700,000. You have more of a chance of being struck by lightning in your lifetime (1 in 3,000) or finding a pearl in an oyster (1 in 12,000).
But that hasn't stopped panic from engulfing the Great Panic-making Machine, also known as the Internet. The rumor maintains that an area around Puerto Rico will be struck by an asteroid between September 15 and September 28. Depending on where you got the word, the coming destruction is related to the Bible Code, a letter from a self-proclaimed prophet or theories from end-times conspiracists.
Of course, objects hit Earth all the time, usually to little or no effect.
"The Earth gets hit by about 100 tons of material every day," wrote Plait -- mostly small pebbles that we see as shooting stars. On rare occasions, such as the CHELYABINSK FIREBALL of February 2013, the space rocks are big enough to cause damage.
NASA has a desktop application to help amateur astronomers find asteroids, and a group of sky-watchers (including Queen guitarist Brian May, who's also an astrophysicist) created "ASTEROID DAY,"which was held June 30, 2015 for the first time.
But world-ending catastrophe? You have to go back millions of years to find asteroids that caused that kind of damage. It's happened, of course --it could be the reason dinosaurs now exist only as fossils -- but unlikely.
So if you're worried about cataclysmic asteroids coming next month, back away from the computer ... unless you're following @AsteroidWatch or scouting for threats.

NIXON-KISSINGER TREASON IN VIETNAM - REMEMBERING JANUARY 23, 1973
 |
| Doomed Gun of Doom Dooma - Nixon-Kissinger Vietnam Treason. |
On January 23, 1973, President Nixon announced about 'The Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam' popularly known as Paris Peace Accords. This Vietnam Peace Treaty was signed on January 27, 1973 with cease-fire effective from January 28, 1973. Nixon-Kissinger are guilty of treason in Vietnam for President Nixon won his election for first-term in 1968, and later won his election for second-term in 1972 by using Vietnam War for political gain and not to serve the purpose of the United States which was at War actively fighting against enemy. For all practical purposes, 'The Fate of Saigon', and 'The Fall of Saigon' on April 30, 1975 was decisively concluded on January 23, 1973.
THE WASHINGTON POST
SECRET ARCHIVE OFFERS FRESH INSIGHT INTO NIXON PRESIDENCY

President Richard Nixon believed that years of aerial bombing in Southeast Asia to pressure North Vietnam achieved "zilch" even as he publicly declared it was effective and ordered more bombing while running for reelection in 1972, according to a handwritten note from Nixon disclosed in a new book by Bob Woodward.
Nixon's note to Henry Kissinger, then his national security adviser, on Jan. 3, 1972, was written sideways across a top-secret memo updating the president on war developments. Nixon wrote: "K. We have had 10 years of total control of the air in Laos and V.Nam. The result = Zilch. There is something wrong with the strategy or the Air Force."
The day before he wrote the "zilch" note, Nixon was asked about the military effectiveness of the bombing by Dan Rather of CBS News in an hour-long, prime-time television interview. "The results have been very, very effective," Nixon declared.
Nixon's private assessment was correct, Woodward writes: The bombing was not working, but Nixon defended and intensified it in order to advance his reelection prospects. The claim that the bombing was militarily effective "was a lie, and here Nixon made clear that he knew it," Woodward writes.
Nixon's note, which has not previously been disclosed, was found in a trove of thousands of documents taken from the White House by Alexander P. Butterfield, deputy to H.R. Haldeman, Nixon's chief of staff, and not made public until now. Butterfield's odyssey through Nixon's first term is the subject of Woodward's book, "The Last of the President's Men," to be published Tuesday by Simon & Schuster.

Butterfield became a key figure in the Watergate scandal when he revealed to Senate investigators the existence of the White House taping system. The tapes captured Nixon's role in the coverup and marked a critical turning point in the collapse of his presidency. He resigned in 1974. Woodward and Carl Bernstein exposed the Watergate story in The Washington Post.
The new book, based on the documents and more than 46 hours of interviews with Butterfield, offers an intimate but disturbing portrayal of Nixon in the Oval Office. Butterfield depicts Nixon, who died in 1994, as forceful and energetic, but also vengeful, petty, lonely, shy and paranoid.
Butterfield felt deeply conflicted; he was proud to be serving but chagrined to be caught up in the underside of Nixon's presidency. "The whole thing was a cesspool," he told Woodward.

Butterfield, now 89, was in charge of preventing other Nixon staffers from leaving the White House with government documents, but he saw many, including the late Nixon counselor Arthur Burns, haul away boxes when they left.
Butterfield anticipated writing a memoir, so when he left the White House in 1973, "I just took my boxes of stuff and left," he told Woodward, packing them into his and his wife's car. Woodward writes that the boxes contained everything from routine chronologies and memos to some top-secret exchanges with Kissinger and a few highly classified CIA bulletins.

(Ultan Guilfoyle and Tom LeGro/The Washington Post)
Butterfield acknowledged to Woodward that it was improper and wrong to remove them, and pledged to ensure that they will be deposited with a proper archive.
Woodward, who wrote that he thought the Nixon story was over for him after his book on Mark Felt, the FBI associate director and secret source known as Deep Throat, said he was "shocked" at the existence of Butterfield's secret files. "So the story, like most of history, does not end," he writes.
'SHAKE THEM UP!!'
The Vietnam War had been all-consuming for Nixon's presidency. The antiwar movement was strong in the United States, and Nixon was under political pressure to end the conflict. The centerpiece of Nixon's approach was "Vietnamization": withdraw U.S. troops so the South Vietnamese could take over, and negotiate a peace settlement "with honor," avoiding anything that could be labeled a defeat.
As ground troops withdrew, air power was one of Nixon's few remaining tools to pressure Hanoi. In late December 1971, Nixon ordered renewed bombing of North Vietnamese targets for five days.
By early 1972, Nixon was on the verge of announcing his reelection campaign and taking his momentous trip to China. But he was worried about reports of a major North Vietnamese buildup, foreshadowing a possible offensive.
On Jan. 2, 1972, in the CBS television interview, Rather asked Nixon, "On everyone's mind is the resumption of the widespread bombing of North Vietnam. Can you assess the military benefits of that?" Nixon reiterated what he had often said about the bombing, that it was "very, very effective," and added, "I think that effectiveness will be demonstrated by the statement I am now going to make." Nixon then announced that he would soon bring home more troops — virtually removing any U.S. combat force in Vietnam.
The next day, writing his private thoughts to Kissinger, Nixon added, "There is something wrong with the strategy or the Air Force. I want a 'bark-off' study — no snow job — on my desk in two weeks as to what the reason for the failure is." Nixon added that "otherwise continued air operations make no sense in Cambodia, Laos, etc. after we complete withdrawal — Shake them up!!" Nixon underlined the last words twice.
Woodward said he could find no evidence that the study was ever carried out.
[How Mark Felt Became 'Deep Throat']
In another memo written a few months later, also found in the Butterfield files, Nixon complained to Kissinger that the military and bureaucracy were too timid. Nixon demanded action that is "strong, threatening and effective" to "punish the enemy" and "go for broke." Nixon may also have been frustrated at North Vietnamese resilience. Woodward cites CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency and Pentagon memos showing that the bombing was not that effective because the North was getting more supplies than it needed to fight the ground war in the south, and could hold out for two years even if the bombing continued.
Kissinger, in an interview, told Woodward he agreed with the conclusion that years of bombing North Vietnam had failed, and he recalled that Nixon was frustrated. "He was in the habit of wanting more bombing . . . his instructions most often were for more bombing," Kissinger said.
Woodward writes: "The 'zilch' conclusion had grown over three years. In what way and when did he realize this? History may never know. Maybe Nixon never knew, never grasped the full weight of his own conclusion."
Woodward concludes that while Nixon knew the bombing was militarily futile, he believed it would reap political rewards at home. After Nixon resigned, papers found in his hideaway office in the White House included a GOP polling study, commissioned in 1969, that showed that the American people would favor bombing and blockading North Vietnam for six months. Woodward cites the work of Ken Hughes of the University of Virginia's Miller Center to show that "the massive bombing did not do the job militarily but it was politically popular. Hughes argues with a great deal of evidence that the bombing was chiefly designed so Nixon would win re-election."
[Woodward and Bernstein: Nixon was far worse than we thought]
The "zilch" note was followed in February by orders for intensified bombing of North Vietnam. On May 8, Nixon ordered the mining of Haiphong Harbor and bombing of key military targets. On Sept. 8, Nixon reported to Kissinger that poll numbers favored the bombing. "It's two-to-one for bombing," he boasted.
On Oct. 16, just weeks before the election, Nixon recalled the May 8 decision to mine the harbor and told Kissinger, "May 8 was the acid test. And how it's prepared us for all these things. The election, for example." Kissinger replied, "I think you won the election on May 8." Nixon was reelected by a landslide in November.
In that election year, the United States dropped 1.1 million tons of bombs in the Vietnam War, including 207,000 tons in North Vietnam alone, Woodward reports, citing Pentagon records.
'DEEP, DEEP RESENTMENTS'
Before joining the White House, Butterfield was a 42-year-old U.S. Air Force colonel with an assignment in Australia. After Nixon's triumph in the 1968 election, Butterfield reached out to Haldeman, an acquaintance from their university years at UCLA. Haldeman then hired Butterfield as his White House deputy. Butterfield was an outsider, unlike many of the others around Nixon, and what he saw in the next four years left a vivid impression.
When Butterfield was introduced to the president in the Oval Office by Haldeman, Nixon mumbled, cleared his throat and gestured. "No words came out, only a kind of growl," Woodward writes, based on Butterfield's recollection. Another time, also in the White House, Nixon dropped by a birthday party for Paul Keyes, a comedy writer and Nixon friend who had helped on the 1968 campaign. When Nixon entered the room, there was an unnatural hush. No one offered a handshake or a glass of wine. Nixon seemed at a loss. Keyes was wearing a solid green blazer. "Ah, ah, ah . . . uh," Nixon muttered, according to Woodward's account. "Then Nixon pointed down at the carpet, a worn, faded maroon. He spoke in a deep but barely audible voice. 'Green coat . . . red rug . . . Christmas colors.' He then wheeled around and strode out of the room to the Oval Office."

Woodward says Butterfield felt that "Nixon was quickly becoming the oddest man he'd ever known."
"It was if he were locked in his own deeply personal world, thinking, planning and churning," Woodward writes of Butterfield's impressions. Butterfield described Nixon as so lonely that he often took dinner by himself in the Old Executive Office Building, sitting with his suit coat still on, writing on his legal pad. "He was happiest when he was alone," Butterfield recalled.
Nixon's relationship with his wife, Pat, was cold, Butterfield observed. At the Winter White House, a compound in Key Biscayne, Fla., she stayed in a separate house.
On Christmas Eve 1969, Nixon walked through the Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House to wish employees a merry Christmas. The president discovered that some support staff employees had prominently displayed photographs of President John F. Kennedy — and that one worker had two. Nixon was furious and ordered Butterfield to remove all photos of other presidents. On Jan. 16, 1970, Butterfield wrote a memo to the president, titled "Sanitization of the EOB," describing how all 35 offices displayed only Nixon's photograph.
Alexander Butterfield, deputy assistant to President Richard Nixon, describes to The Post's Bob Woodward how Nixon barred certain reporters from traveling with him to China in 1972. (Ultan Guilfoyle and Tom LeGro/The Washington Post)
Butterfield learned that Nixon did not just have an "enemies list" with dozens of names, but also an "opponents list" and a "freeze list." One day Nixon exploded in anger after finding out that Derek Bok, then the president of Harvard University, was at the White House. "I don't ever want that son of a bitch back here on the White House grounds," he told Butterfield. "And you get those enemies lists, make sure everybody knows who's on them."
[Kissinger: the Dr. Frankenstein of foreign affairs, or just self-promoter?]
The president constantly scrutinized event invitation lists, striking names. Nixon organized a procedure with Butterfield so that during coffee after a state dinner, only a pre-selected group of five out of some 100 invited guests would get a chance to talk to the president. No one else could approach him.
Butterfield told Woodward that Nixon was controlled by "his various neuroses, the deep, deep, deep resentments and hatreds — he seemed to hate everybody. The resentments festered. And he never mellowed out."
Butterfield did not know about the specifics of the Watergate break-in, but witnessed how Nixon's obsessions led to it. At one point, Butterfield was given the assignment to plant a spy in the Secret Service detail of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.). Nixon later mused that the spy — a retired agent who was reactivated — might find information that would "ruin him for '76," when Kennedy might be considered a possible presidential candidate. Butterfield knew the plan was illegal, and told Woodward that he was surprised at himself for going along with it.

It fell to Butterfield to organize the White House taping system, installed at Nixon's behest in February 1971. Although Nixon endlessly explored and sifted his options on most issues, Woodward reports that "there was apparently no discussion about the merits or risks of such a taping system." It was installed over a weekend by the Secret Service while the president was out of town. Five microphones were put in the president's desk, on the top, concealed with a coating of varnish. The lights on the mantel in the Oval Office also carried microphones, a place where Nixon often took guests, including heads of state, to chat. The microphones were connected to voice-activated tape recorders behind a metal door in the basement.
When the Watergate scandal broke, "I was thinking of the tapes the whole time," Butterfield recalled. "God, if they only knew. If they only knew. In a way I wanted it to be known. In the deep recesses of my brain, I was eager to tell." Woodward devotes several chapters to Butterfield's personal struggle over whether to reveal the secret taping system, which Nixon thought would never be made public.
On the day of Nixon's departure from the White House, Aug. 9, 1974, Butterfield saw many White House officials and workers weeping in the East Room. "I could not believe that people were crying in that room," he told Woodward. "It was sad, yes. But justice had prevailed. Inside I was cheering. That's what I was doing. I was cheering."
