The Hunger Stones Have Appeared, by Martin
Armstrong, 8/27/18.
While the Global Warming fanatics are out in
force saying “see” the heat in Europe is caused by humans driving their cars
around, they continue to ignore history. The extreme heat in Europe this year
is part of a cycle. The swings from extreme heat to extreme cold are also not
unheard of. Another piece of historical evidence they ignore is known as the
Hunger Stones. Pictured here is a Hunger Stone from 1616 which has been exposed
by the low level of water in the Elbe River. This is at Decin, in the Czech Republic.
Throughout the centuries, there have been these cycles of extreme heat followed
by extreme cold. Such events have been recorded when drought has resulted in
the low level of water in the Elbe river.
This year’s drought in Europe has exposed once again the Hunger
Stones that have been used for centuries to commemorate historic droughts which
warn of their consequences when you see these stones again. The Hunger Stones
are visible in the Elbe River once more. This is a major river which begins in
the Czech Republic and flows through Germany. There are more than a dozen
Hunger Stones that serve as records of previous droughts establishing that the
extreme heat and drought of this year is by no means unique to history.
The various Hunger Stones record droughts that resulted in
famine and soaring prices for food. The droughts that have been recorded on the
stones date to 1417, 1616, 1707, 1746, 1790, 1800, 1811, 1830, 1842, 1868,
1892, and 1893, which covers a period of 476 years. This produces an average of
39.6 years. Just applying that average would bring you to 2012. However, we
have to look closer. Note that two years 1892 and 1893 are back-to-back. This
does not reflect two separate droughts, but the peak in intensity. Instead of
there being TWO separate droughts, it is the same even just extended. That
means there were really 11 events within this 476-year span of history and low
and behold this alters the average to 43.27 years. This actually conforms to
our Economic Confidence Model frequency of 8.6 years /2 = 4.3.
In fact, there is additional evidence that is being ignored by the Global Warming crowd who seem intent upon leading society to its doom by ignoring the past entirely. Extensive research has also been done on tree-rings in north-central Europe. This study has discovered that there has been a pattern of “mega-droughts” in the 15th through 19th centuries.

Extensive research has also been done on tree-rings in north-central Europe. This study has discovered that there has been a pattern of “mega-droughts” in the 15th through 19th centuries.
They classified 1893 as the “Great Drought of 1893” where
rainfall decline between 30 to 90% throughout various regions in Europe. They
also found that the Irish famine of 1740–1741 was the result of a cooling
period they pointed out resulted in unusually low winter and spring
temperatures in 1740 that produced crop failures and a massive subsequent
famine.
They point out that there were five major “mega-drought” that
took place in 1540, 1590, 1616, 1718, and 1719. Once again, we see back-to-back
events in 1718 and 1719 which in our analysis reflect a build-up in intensity
rather than two separate events. Reducing this to 4 events once again gives us
an average of 44.75 years which is very close to the Pi frequency. If we plot
this serious out, we arrive at 2020.
It appears that instead of a back-to-back events in 2019, this
can become the worst period of intensity and produce three years of drought
into 2020. The greater the number of volcanos erupting can also produce an
increase in intensity for this period. What we must be concerned about is
volcanic activity appearing in the West Indies, which includes Soufriere on St.
Vincent. It is the stratovolcano type event that can change the weather. These
are volcanoes that are known as a composite volcano, which is a conical volcano
built up by many layers (strata) of hardened lava, tephra, pumice, and ash.
When they erupt, this sends a tremendous amount of material into the atmosphere
which reduces sunlight and cools the temperatures.
When we ran the drought data through our models, not only did it
correlate with the ECM, it also coordinated with the first historical eruption
of the volcano which took place during 1718 and a subsequent eruption 1812.
Now, look at the drought records of mega-droughts – 1718/1719. When we ran the
model, out comes the year 1816 which is known as the Year Without a Summer. The
climate turned extremely cold and it was snowing in July in New York City. This
resulted in major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere. Note that the
second eruption was 1812.
When we correlated this entire period, what emerged was a
dramatic increase in volcanic activity which also correlated with the decline
in the energy output of the sun. Our model warned that volcanic activity would
rise beginning here in 2018 correlated with a decline in the energy output of
the sun which should have begun in 2015. Note that the Hunger Stones also mark
the year 1811. While this is one year prior to the eruption in the West Indies
in 1812, there is what has been called the 1808/1809 Mystery Volcanic Eruption
which seems to have set in motion a Mini Ice Age during the early 1800s. This
was a monumental volcanic eruption in the VEI 6 range which appears to have
taken place in late 1808. This event preceded the 1815 eruption of Mount
Tambora (VEI 7) which produced the Year Without a Summer in 1816.
There was the period climatologists called the Little Ice Age
they believed took place starting around 1650. This was the result of primarily
the decline in the energy output of the sun reflected in the drastic decline in
sunspot activity. What we are looking at here is a drastic correction in
market-terminology which took place during the early 1800s. A study of
Greenland and Antarctic ice cores in the 1990s revealed evidence that pointed
to a massive volcanic eruption that had occurred in early 1809. The problem
that everyone faced was there were no human records of such an event. This
meant that it must have been in a region where humans did not record the event.
Additional research revealed from tree-ring data that there was also a major
eruption in 1808. Now two independent sources were pointing to a mystery eruption
– but where?
The mystery was simply that such a catastrophic eruption of that
magnitude should have been noticed by someone. They began to scour the records
around the world hoping that someone somewhere recorded the event. Finally, in
2014 a Ph.D. student Alvaro Guevara-Murua and Dr. Caroline Williams of the
University of Bristol discovered an account of atmospheric events consistent
with such an event by Colombian scientist Francisco José de Caldas who recorded
a massive transparent cloud that obstructed the sunlight at Bogotá, Columbia in
early 1809. Further investigation revealed that the cloud was first observed by
him on December 11th, 1808. De Caldas reported conditions consistent with a
volcanic cloud that altered the weather turning it unusually cold, with even
bitter frosts in Columbia.
Still, further investigations to the south in Peru produced
another observation by a physician named Hipólito Unanue of Lima. Combining
these two observations led to the conclusion that the window of the eruption
was sometime within 14 days of December 4th, 1808. The only area in the tropics
to the west of Colombia and Peru with possible volcanoes was also located in
the South Western Pacific Ocean between Indonesia and Tonga. At the time, there
was hardly any reporting coming from this region lacking European settlements.
The Rabaul area has had such major VEI 6+ eruptions but records only date back
to the mid-1800s.
However, this one catastrophic VEI6+ eruption is NOT the only volcano that erupted. This is why we have warned that the cyclical period for volcano eruptions turned up in 2018. In 1808 there were major additional eruptions in Urzelina, the Azores during May (1st to 4th), as well as the Taal Volcano, in the Philippines during March that year. There was also the Chilean Putana volcano which had a major eruption during of 1808-1810 (records are not precise) This period is then followed by the truly massive 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in the Dutch East Indies. This one is attributed with creating the Year without a Summer because it was the largest eruption in at least 1,300 years that has been recorded. This event was followed by the 1814 eruption of Mayon in the Philippines, which appears to have contributed to the weather changes of cooling creating an accumulative event.

Our models have pinpointed yet another such period that perhaps
sent human civilization into the Dark Ages. There was a similar period with
volcanos and extreme weather events of 535–536AD. Researchers from Los Alamos
Laboratory published a thesis (LA-UR 004608) in this study these researchers
developed a model recreating a volcanic eruption of such proportion that it
staggers the human mind. This eruption is known as the Proto-Krakatau eruption.
It occurred in the year 536 AD in the present day country of Indonesia. This
predecessor or the 1815 AD eruption of Krakatau of the same name and place was
many times greater. The evidence these scientists present is that this
resulting blast of this super volcano with its caldera (magma chamber)
collapsing beneath it formed the Strait of Sunda between the islands of Sumatra
and Java. Before this explosive eruption, these two islands were one land mass.
The bathymetry data indicates this caldera is about 40 to 60 km in diameter. We
do know that there was a major eruption on August 26th, 1883 of the volcano
Krakatau (Krakatoa) which was one of the most catastrophic ever witnessed in
recorded in modern history. Previously, we knew of a more moderate eruption
that took place back in 1680.
This mystery eruption did leave behind contemporary historians
who recorded events. Procopius wrote in 536AD:
“during this year a most dread portent took place. For the sun
gave forth its light without brightness … and it seemed exceedingly like the
sun in eclipse, for the beams it shed were not clear.”
John the Lydian, or John Lydus, was a 6th-century Byzantine
administrator and a historian who wrote also in 536AD: “The sun became dim …
for nearly the whole year … so that the fruits were killed at an unseasonable time.”
In Mesopotamia, a source quoted by Michael the Syrian (ca.
1166-1 199 AD) and Bar-Hebraeus 1246-1286 records that:
“In the year 848 of the Greeks [536 A.D.]. the Sun was dark and
its darkness lasted for eighteen months, each day it shone for about 4 hours,
and still, this light was only a feeble shadow,. , the fruits did not ripen and
wine tasted like sour grapes”
Flavius Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator (c. 485 – c. 585),
was a Roman statesman and a historian. He wrote of this period: “The sun … seems
to have lost its wonted light, and appears of a bluish color. We marvel to see
no shadows of our bodies at noon, to feel the mighty vigor of the sun’s heat
wasted into feebleness, and the phenomena which accompany an eclipse prolonged
through almost a whole year. We have had … a summer without heat … the crops
have been chilled by north winds … the rain is denied …”
The ice core samples covering this time period clearly show
actually two very large sulfate (So2) peaks that occur with volcanos. The first
took place during 537AD and the second follows in 541—542AD. Therefore, once
again we may be dealing with multiple volcanic eruptions. Both peaks are
approximately the same size. It is the first event that has been recorded as
the catastrophe. Contemporary historians mentioned above have provided
contemporary accounts of this dramatic decrease in the Sun’s brightness during
536 and 537 AD. We have yet another contemporary account of a historian from
Constantinople (Hamilton and Brooks, 1899, p. 267), believed to be Zacharius of
Mytilene, who describes: ‘”In the year 14 [536 AD], the Sun began to be
darkened by day and the Moon by night… from the 24th of March in this year
until the 24th of June in the following year 15.” Because the dimming was less
severe and shorter in duration, it is generally assumed that the atmosphere was
filled with fine volcanic ash or dust from this event. (Rigby et al., 2004;
Larsen et al., 2008), There is no question that SO2 emissions from volcanos
produce a cooling trend in weather. However, it has also been shown that there
is a time lag between 6 and 18 months that will vary depending upon how far up
the ash is thrust into the atmosphere. Thus, there can be a delayed effect from
when the eruption actually takes place to when the cooling begins measured in
months.
Yet there is still another theory that strangely comes into play
this October/November. The argument is that we pass through a particularly
dense section of the Taurid Meteor path around every 2500 years and this has contributed
to legends and climate change. Every year there are a South Taurid Meteor
shower which will peak overnight on Oct. 9-10 this year for the Southern
Hemisphere and then in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Taurid Meteor shower
peaks Nov. 11-12. Historically, this annual event has provided the foundation
for love stories and wishing upon a shooting star. However, there have been
intense Meteor Storms that led to legends of dragons fighting in the sky
breathing fireballs at each other. Chinese historical records from 540AD
describe: “Dragons fought in the pond of the K’uho, They went westward … in the
places they passed, all trees were broken.” Ice core sample also contains
extraterrestrial dust from this period as well. It is argued that a larger meteor
struck the Earth about this time and this is what is described as dragons
fighting in the sky.
The one major known meteor even is that of Tunguska which was a
large explosion that occurred in Russia, on the morning of June 30th, 1908. The
explosion flattened 770 square miles (2,000 square kilometers) of the forest
shown here. The explosion is classified as an impact event, even though no
impact crater has been found. The meteor is believed to have exploded above
ground and thereby disintegrated at an altitude of 3 to 6 miles before it
actually struck the ground. This is the largest impact event on Earth in
recorded history, not geological history.
Meteorite impacts are by far perhaps among the most destructive
forces in the solar system. It is believed that such events have resulted in
mass extinctions. However, there are others who suggest that they may have also
delivered the seeds of life soon after Earth was born. The oldest impact crater
on Earth is also the largest and it is located in South Africa. It is known as
the Vredefort Crater for it was originally 185 miles in diameter which struck
some 2.02 billion years ago (pictured here). There is another major impact
known as the Chicxulub crater located in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico which
is 93 miles in diameter that some argue may have wiped out the dinosaurs with a
blast that was equal to the estimated energy of 10 billion Hiroshima A-bombs
which took place about 66 million years ago.
Sodom and Gomorrah, which are most likely located at the Dead
Sea, may have been destroyed by debris from a comet, startling new
archaeological and astronomical research suggests. The Dead Sea is famous for
is extreme salinity (34% salt, or almost 10 times as salty as the ocean), and
for having the lowest elevation on Earth, at 1,407 feet (429 meters) below sea
level. The argument remains that there was a simultaneous fall of the Old
Kingdom of ancient Egypt, the Sumerian civilization in Mesopotamia and the
Harrapin Civilisation of the Indus Valley. In total, some 40 cities are thought
to have disappeared, in a series of catastrophes.
Many astronomers believe that the Earth was bombarded by a
particular dense storm of meteorites over a couple of centuries every 2,500
years. The last two occurrences were around 2200-2000BC and 400-600AD. Part of
the evidence is that three Middle Eastern regions all contain a calcite
material found only in meteorites. They argue that the Biblical account found
in Genesis describes how “the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah
brimstone and fire from the Lord out of Heaven” which is a description of a
meteorite storm.
When all is said and done, we may be as insignificant as a pebble
lying at the bottom of the ocean with no understanding of what lies above our
heads. Nevertheless, the Global Warming crowd wants to tax us to fill their own
pockets with endless billions for worthless research. We are left on our own to
understand the real consequences and that the Hunger Stones prove that this is
not a unique event caused by C02 and driving to work. Food prices will rise
into the 2024 period. You should not simply just prepare for a commodity rally,
but be wise and have some stashed away as a hedge. This is not the end of the
world doom and gloom stuff. It is simply looking at cycles and it will pass as
it always has.
