Pole Shift Data Coverup – 2012
The NOAA National Geophysical Data Center has updated (revised – massaged) their magnetic north pole-shift positional data and has projected the location of the magnetic north pole through 2015. The pole shift continues to race along in the same direction since it dramatically accelerated back in the mid 1990′s. But…
NOAA made some significant and apparently linear changes to the pole location data going back to the years 2001 through 2010. The most noticeable result of the changes that they made was an overall linear slow down of the shift during the past decade, although still at a high rate of speed. They have projected positional data through 2015 and have slowed the pace of movement each subsequent year from 30 miles (2012) to 24 miles (2015).

No apparent reason for the change was listed. A 10 year change nonetheless! Given the fact that they suddenly changed their previously posted data of the previous decade to indicate a slower pole-shift progression, they are now able to project a slowing trend through 2015. The situation is beginning to look like one of their sister agencies, the USGS, who when they change their earthquake magnitude numbers, they always (95% of the time) revise them downward. The revisions made are nearly always in a ‘less alarming’ direction.
The following map shows the position of the magnetic north pole, and its shift since 1977. Read here for the past 400 years of magnetic north pole shift. Clearly it can be seen where the annual pole location begins to spread during the mid 1990′s when the acceleration rapidly increased.
The following image plot shows the comparison between the original magnetic north pole locations and now the new revised locations (2001 onward) from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).
While this could be the result of a NOAA factoring error of some sort, one wonders why it wasn’t caught at any other time between 2001 and today. It took 10 years to find it? Hmmm…
Or, could this be a coverup to slow the progress of the messaging of the ongoing pole shift?

Data from the Kyoto accord would like to differ with their data:
http://wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/poles/polesexp.html
Is there any doubt an entity has taken over our government and NOT for the better?
No, it does not differ at all. You are misreading their maps. Look at the northern hemisphere “magnetic” north pole plot. They are clearly using the exact latitude/longitude positional data as I – evidently all from the same source. In fact, you can clearly see on their illustration that the distance between 2010 and 2015 is shorter than that of 2005 to 2010, indicating the ‘apparent’ slow down. They also plot geomagnetic locations (a different thing) as well as southern hemisphere poles. They make no mention of the fact that the latitude/longitude data had been tweaked from 2001 – 2010 however. Interesting link though.
THE PLANET IS FLIPPING OVER GET OVER IT AND STOP BEING SKEPTICS! OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTH! JUST LOOK OUTSIDE FOR GOD SAKES! THE SUN IS BRIGHTER AND HOTTER IT’S BECOMING A DWARF STAR AND IT MAY COLLAPSE. NASA=(NEVER A STRAIGHT ANSWER) KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND IS KEEPING IT QUIET!! THERE’S A MASSIVE GALACTIC WAVE FROM THE CENTER OF THE GALAXY APPROACHING FROM A STAR THAT WENT NOVA LONG AGO. IT IS NOW REACHING OUR PLANET! THAT’S WHY THE SUN HAS BEEN GOING CRAZY WITH SOLAR FLARES!!
Interesting any proof to back up your claims.
Yup… http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/
Their ftp site lists their old data (the data I had been using all along) and additionally their new data with the shifted positions.
@DC; FYI, I think your caps lock key is stuck. When you say the planet is “flipping over”, do you mean physically tipping over or that the poles are moving which is referred to as “geomagnetic excursions”? As far as the dwarf star deal, I don’t think that is due for 5-6 billion years and as I understand it the sun will become a red giant first before it becomes a dwarf star, which will be right after the supernova. However, assuming you’re right and this was going to happen in the next year, what would be the point, exactly? The sun has solar flares about every 11 years and 2011/2012 are at the peak of solar activity. If we had or were receiving any “historically significant” catastrophic solar flares, the grid would be down and faking the grid “not being down” would be, IMHO, far beyond the reach of our gubment or the NWO’s capability, since they have not yet been able to “completely” suspend reality, though lord knows, they try, don’t they? When you refer to a “galactic wave”, a wave of what exactly, GRBs? I looked around for some explanation and could only find information that led back to “paid subscription” internet sites ($$$$$) which is always suspicious and smacks of scam and cultism. If there was a wave of “something” coming from the galaxy center, that would destroy life, that would mean, since we are here now, that we’ve never had that happen which means we’ve never measured it with scientific instruments, so how would we know it was coming until it got here? And, not meaning to be redundant, but as I said on the dwarf star, assuming (we know how that works) you’re right and this “life-snuffing” wave gets here this next year (GRB????) what would be the point as we wouldn’t even know it happened? Any way it turns out, I think we will have gotten over it by 2013. Survive well. Enjoy.
I rather doubt that the planet flipping poles in any of our life times is a survivable event. Watched a movie, maybe a tv show, many years ago where some guy with “powers” told the the Earth to stop spinning. It did, the oceans didn’t. Can you say kowabunga or surf’s up?
When the Sun goes nova you will need a vastly different set of preps. Good luck getting them in the next year.
Chuckles. Prepping for the unsurvivable is a waste of pretty much everything that matters.
Be well.
@Mortimer; Are you replying to me or DC? In case you are referring to me. I was trying for wry sarcasm. As to the premise that the poles flip (in the manner of the crust slipping around over the surface of the planet) is fallacious as that does not happen. And as far as prepping for something like that or the red dwarf delusion, the premise was why bother. If my wry sarcasm was lost on that I guess I failed at the humor of it. Survive well. Enjoy.
@TripodXL.
@ both I guess.
I missed the humor. Has been a long week. TGIF. Sorry if I offended.
Be well.
@Mortimer; No offense taken nor any meant, especially for you, my friend. Survive well. Enjoy.
You are right to say “open your eyes”. Something is happening and there is real scientific proof to back it up. However, i would not be concerned about the sun going super nova,etc. the issue is the solar max cycle we face, and the radiation, heat and magnetic influence it might have on the earth. I am focused on the magnetic issue, because it may cause a pole flip on the planet. That would in turn cause global tidal waves, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. Since this is a long cycle of 5,125 years, we have no way of knowing how bad it will get. Before a major pole shift, we may also have some power outages due to solar flares. The danger zone is when the poles on the sun flip, which may affect the earth. we may have a day or so warning to go to high ground.
Seems a bit wonky. Last year there was a ton of information on the Pole Shift. This year? Nothing. Last year, runway designations had to be changed because the poles are shifting at such a fast pace…Um. So, now, not only do we have no new information but the information we did have has either mostly disappeared or has been changed. Glad i’m not the only one seeing this!
I am extremely suspicious of the data change by the “gubmint”. It was clearly obvious that the rapid movement of the magnetic poles was a major issue. apparently they felt they had to change the data to keep us from figuring out what is going on. Its not the crime that is so bad at first, it is the coverup that gets you.The next question is, will the geographical poles (continue to)move as well. There will come a point that they cannot coverup the obvious earth changes.
What a pity. By the way when/if this northwesterly migration rapidly acclerates this year, could the magnetic migration be a remotely possible explanation for until recent winters resposible for the lack of any truly artic outbreaks,from the years 1998 to present? also, what sort of implications for united states climate would this have in future years? I am Just wondering because I have heard the Mayan Elders prophesy for a 16 to 20 degree axis shift.
There is a remarkable correlation between the position of the magnetic poles and global temperatures, do a search for “Climate Change and the Earth’s Magnetic Poles, A Possible Connection” and you can download the pdf.
An alternative is to see the location of the auroras, site spaceweather.com
The magnetic north pole used to be in Canada, are you now saying that it is no longer there?
The magnetic north pole is currently estimated to be at the following coordinates in the Arctic Ocean:
85° 9’14.40″N
135°35’38.40″W
Under international law, no country currently owns the North Pole or the region of the Arctic Ocean surrounding it. The nearest land mass, Ellesmere Island, is 400 miles from that current location. Ellesmere Island is part of the Qikiqtaaluk Region of the Canadian territory of Nunavut.
The magnetic north pole is hundreds of miles towards the northwest, way out of Canada. It is skipping its way towards Siberia. It was moving 40-50 miles a year, on average, but the rate was accelerating. It was that change in rate that started to alarm researchers. Mathematicians figured that at that rate the pole would be well into Siberia within 3-4 years. and those figures were made a year ago. however, the position of the magnetic poles was not a problem, it was the actually geographical movement of the earth, which seems to be following the lead of the magnetic poles.
I don’t believe there’s a coverup at all … in the following NPR broadcast, there’s an explanation for why the numbers keep changing. (It’s because the magnetic forces shift for no apparent reason — have a mind of their own.) NOAA can guesstimate, but only Mother Nature knows when she will strut her stuff, and reserves her right to change her mind.
http://www.npr.org/2011/01/14/132934010/following-a-wandering-north-pole
mother nature doesn’t change her mind retroactively. The facts are the facts. they were recorded and placed in the archives. someone decided to “change” the documented, scientific facts, for a reason. In my opinion the reason they had to change the facts was to coverup the rapid accleration of the magnetic north pole. I have seen the figures for that increase in speed, and it was shocking.

@Chris; The Zodiac signs (tropical) haven’t changed. The CONSTELLATIONS of the Zodiac signs have moved over the millennia due to the precession of the equinoxes AND our movement around our galactic center. Our movement in OUR ecliptic plane (solar system) is at about a 60 degree angle to the galactic plane, so movement (APPARENT) of the constellations is inevitable over the years. The constellations move, they’re supposed to but the Zodiac signs are fixed to certain dates so they stay the same. FYI. Survive well. Enjoy.

@Cassandra; I would be prepared somewhat sooner than October, probably by July, August at the latest. Agree with your premise though. Oh my, that (panne et circes) is funny. Paniis semper gratis would probably be closer. Survive well. Enjoy.
The fema camps are true and this is where they will take people who are stupid enough to go when all hell breaks loose whether that be when a polar shift happens or when severe weather due to global warming or super nova occurs or super valcano erupts or when the rapture happens and God takes his followers home and they (the governments) cant explain the mass disappearences to those left behind or survivers. Then once they get you in the camps…they will own you to do things their way or you die and you will be at their mercy.
Hello Ken!
Would it be possible for you to email me the old data from the NOAA? I’m with you thinking that the present data could be under some manipulation. It doesn’t make sense to me that a natural phenomena like this would dodge the rules of exponential growth – fibonacci/golden ratio/nature’s laws.
I’d be really appreciated if you could email me to [snip]
Thanks,
Sure thing… I’ll dig this up tomorrow, in the morning and email it to you. (I snipped your email so you wouldn’t get nailed by the spam bots that lurk around)
Why aren’t any of the Pole Shift conspiracists noting that the magnetic pole is moving towards geometric north? Instead of being increasingly more “wrong” it’s in fact getting increasingly more “right”.
How can magnetic north moving more north be the sign of a shift…?
@Peder, The thrust of the article is the rapidity of movement (of magnetic north), and apparent acceleration as compared to decades and centuries gone by.
Heres what I was shown… Take a magnet and hold it about 2 inches or so from the side of a compass at 0/360 degrees. sweep it in either direction along the side heading southerly to the bottom toward 180 degrees. When the magnet gets to 40 or 320 degrees (that is 40 degrees from 0/360 in either direction- east or west)the needle will radically flip “180″. I do not know why magnetism works this way but saw this in person. it is wierd. perhaps this may explain things to someone more knowledgeable than I.
DAT… this may be simple, as TripodXL explained, “When Logic Fails”. The magnetic north of a magnet lines up with the magnetic south of another magnet, end to end, am I correct? When the magnetic south gets to the place of 40 degrees as you suggest, the compass will realign to the magnet that you are holding. Now, if you are pointing the magnetic south of the magnet towards your compass, the needle will follow it completely around without the flipping action. Its when you get the south end of the magnet too close to the south end of the compass! Basically you are doing a slight of hand, as the trickster would do with a deck of cards. You have been snookered.
It is the acceleration that is alarming. And, whose to say when the movement will stop? it could go right past the geographical pole and head towards Siberia. this is a major earth changing event.
@George, exactly… that was (is) the primary point of the article… it is the acceleration of late.
Recently I asked if earthquakes with a magnitude of 4 were increasing. Now it seems that the magnitude has elevated to 5.0. What is going on? I have read that earthquakes in the 8.0 range are not increasing. Is this how they keep the truth from us? Next, when the the frequent number rises to 6.0 will they only comment on the number of 9.0 quakes? Am I crazy or does anyone else see whats happening? Phil DiNello
While looking at data for 2012, it looks like magnitude 5 quakes are up some. Magnitude 8 quakes are up a lot. Mag 6 quakes are about normal and mag 7 quakes are slightly below normal at this moment for 2012 as of this post. Again, that represents quakes during 2012 so far, nothing else – or no other comparison…
This subject has been driving me mad for the past couple of weeks. It caught my attention as I was examining The Arctic Sea Ice extents on the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/
I’ve been looking at this because I am curious and concerned. The ice seems to be on a consistent decline in a tempo that is similar to the movement of north.
I have also been looking at some satellite weather maps. If you compare the general centre of rotation at the top of the earth, you will see that the general weather pattern over time seems to have the same general shift as the moving north pole. I know I am not the first one to see this but it seems to explain a number of things at once.
There are some footage documentaries you will find online where elder native peoples of North Canada explain the way things have changed. They say the snow is not coming back. We know this. They say the sun is not setting in the same place in the west. Curiously, it comes up in the same place in the east but it sets in a different place in the west. Did we know this? Has anyone checked this out? They say the days are longer. All of these things are explained in an instant with a magnetic north moving in the direction that it is.
I am unable to find any recent data (July 2011 onward) to indicate if the movement is slowing down or levelling off. Maybe the graph looks more like a heartbeat and not the exponential curve that seems to be implied. Either way, if it is a heartbeat or an upward sloping line, does anyone have an idea what happens when north starts moving at 150 km / year?
The other question I have is the general movement of the foci of the dip pole. If it is wiggling around how do we know where the implied centre is located? If I try to go there myself to try and find out, would a simple compass tell me when I am there or would it need to be a 3d compass? Lastly, and sorry for the added link, part of this started for me when a frein insisted that his compass is no longer pointing to the same north as it was last year. He has it at one degree out. This sounds like a lot.
Thanks to the moderator for starting this discussion.
we are 10% into a 40 degree pole shift with a splash of dark rift included, its happened before and will happen again, All the planets in our solor system are heating up , go figure…. when California becomes Equatoral the water will subsequently rise 2500-3000 feet due to the spin of the earth that creates Centrifical forces upon the ocean’s Swelling them at the Equator… face it , Shits gonna change drastically for the worst this year.
The centrifugal force of the earth’s spin is very important, it does change elevations and ocean levels. geologist know that the strata layers show rapid change on the earth, which they could only guess at the cause. A meteor hit, a passing comet, or a pole shift from whatever source can cause the earth to tremble or move the poles. Once that rare event happens it changes the earth for thousands of years.
It seems to me that if the pole shift finishes too fast (ie. within a decade) we are all dead from the weather alone. This does not account for the humanitarian crisis we are feeling right now.
I don’t think the pole shift matters too much as long as the earth stsys in its rotational pattern with the sun. I’ve read it is wobbling? Then strange weather is/or will be the accepted routine. The earth is tearing itself apart, notice the earthquakes today, and read Kens’ latest article.
If the lower half of the earth, below the equator, is being dragged by an unknown force, can’t keep up with the upper half, then there is going to be a huge tear/rip in the plates. Example, if your walking along and stub your toe, what happens, your hip & back slip out of joint and the upper body slumps forward! Very upsetting, disorganized and arms flaying!
We know from our own observations that something is going on, but no reliable source will say what it is. WE aren’t total in the dark about natural occurances, so we should expect the worse & hope for the best.
The earth does wobble on its axis as it rotates. It takes about 26,000 years to make a complete wobble. Looking at the earth from the south pole, the earth would be rotating clockwise. At the same time the wobble on the axis is counterclockwise. So the north pole moves in a complete circle counter clockwise every 26000 years.
Yes- that’s the movement the Mayans measured with the long count. Precession.
Interesting discussions and topics above… I have noticed that nobody has commented since Sep 5.. I wil say that the coast of California is having a very large meteor shower and is still going on now(I believe due to our planet entering the galactic plain, dark rift), and alot more earthquakes in South America. All things point to something major going on in the next couple months, Be prepared.
It has been interesting to note that there have been quite a few meteor impacts lately around the globe. Regarding the galactic plane… I believe that no matter where we are within the grand orbit around the galaxy, there will ALWAYS be the unseen and the unknown. Astronomers have found some of the objects that float and orbit around out there, but certainly not all. All it would take is one ‘mountain’ size rock, and we’re screwed… Read the book, Lucifers Hammer, to get an idea…
The earth changes are contining to happen, about the same rate. I believe that this is such a serious subject that most researchers would rather focus on other things than what the real possibilities are. It is somewhat overwhelming and difficult to grasp. I am not sure how you can truly prepare for something this major. but, we must anyway.
There are definitely ‘disaster’ scenarios in which there is only so much you can do, or have done ahead of time. Fortunately, the odds of many of these extreme scenarios affecting us in our lifetime are smaller than other, more likely scenarios. Having said that, some of it depends upon luck. Yes, luck. Where you happen to be during such and event, is circumstance for example. I believe that by implementing a lifestyle of more self-sufficiency coupled with an awareness of risks and their consequences, is a good middle ground to provide you with a sufficient edge against ‘most’ things.
As far as apocalyptic geological disasters, much of that can happen slowly enough such that we see the signs, or they won’t affect us in our lifetime. On the other hand, something like a MAJOR solar flare event (1859 Carrington) will zap us back to the stone age in an instant. A SuperVolcano eruption is another example. There are more…
One major problem during the PEAK of a magnetic pole flip event will likely be the reduction of protection from solar radiation. During previous polar flips it is believed that the protection was reduced by as much as 95%. That is extinction level for many things. How does living underground sound?? So long as the current ‘apparent’ magnetic polar shift doesn’t happen too quickly, we should be okay.
I suppose that in the end, those that are the most self-sufficient, most isolated from dense populations, and the most secured, will stand a better chance following a MAJOR event.
@midwestguy; The galactic plane crossing is plus or minus a few million years. It is not a fine mark in the galactic road where “we’re here” is apropos. It is a big smudge rather than a “fine line”. And then there is the issue of THAT having ANY effect on meteor showers in our solar system, which they do not. Now, while I agree with Ken about the general premise that changing conditions can cause changing effects, the galactic plane transition has no significant or reasonable impact on meteor activity, in the long term for us. FYI, the coast of Kalifornia can’t have an unusual meteor shower (over days and weeks), with out the world at large having an “unusual meteor shower”, which they aren’t. Just sayin’. Might need to evaluate the critical thinking skills and further development of said skills. Survive well. Enjoy.
A friend of mine recently came back from Sunspot Observatory in the Sacramento Mountains of S. New Mexico. The Solar Astronomer there were very concerned about a solar flare or a Carrington type Event sometime in the relatively near future.
thanks for the update on solar activity. keep us informed about what you hear. We are in solar maximum and it is possible we could have a huge solar flare that would affect the power grid and electronics on earth. There is also a window open for an affect from a solar magnetic pole shift towards the earth. (which might cause the earth to tremor internally in the molten iron core.)
We are lulled into a false sense of security due to the fact that the current solar maximum has not produced the number of flares as originally anticipated (prior to a modification downward of the forecast). The sun could still just as easily slam us with a Carrington type flare as it did back during 1859, sending us back into the stone age, so to speak…
this has been the slackest solar maximum ever. but of more concern is the strength of our magnetosphere is at its lowest which may cause imminant magnetic pole shift and/or leave us less protected from sunflare. realistically it could take a decade to complete. during that time weather will go haywire as is happening right now. the sun is electric in nature, not nuclear.
the key time to watch for is the solar magnetic pole reversal. as far as i know it has not occured yet in this solar max period. question: is it possible a solar max period could last longer than 1-2 years?
Hi,can someone explain to me the data provided by NOAA. These data show, that the magnetic north pole should be around Long. 140W as far as I see it. From here (mids Germany) I pinpointed magnetic north about directly behind the geographic north (slightly towards east), so around Long. 171W.
The online calculator of NOAA gives me about the same direction. So the magnetic pole is definitely not where it should be by the official data and has traveled much further than it should have or am I totally wrong? Why dont they correct the data and provide new? This is a slight difference of about 30 degrees further and does not speak for a slow down but for a speeding up. Thanks for your help .
Please provide a link to the NOAA online calculator that you are referring to. Thanks.
Here’s the new one I used
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/?useFullSite=true#declination
Hello from Germany,
very intersting about the link I provided om Jan. 13 th to the NOAA north pole calculator.
A few days after I posted the link NOAA shut it down because they are “making an upgrade”. It already should be the new one as far I now. See for yourself : http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/faqcalcmove.shtml
From my position in Germany it looks like the north pole has travelled further ca. 2 degrees to east since I posted the link on Jan. 13 th. Lets see what the newest calculator will provide…
Up to the end of last year, many attributed the aberrant behavior of the magnetic north pole to Nibiru (or planet X). Well, 21 Dec, 2012 came and went with nothing happening. The alternative theory was our solar system is going through the galactic equator that has a strong magnetic polarity on one side and the opposite on the other side. As we get closer to this equatorial dividing line, of course the north magnetic pole is going to be attracted to its opposite polarity, then before that line is crossed it will logically slow down, which NOAA says is happening now. The proof of the pudding is when that line is crossed the north magnetic pole will reverse course and return to the vicinity of Canada. The rate of that return will mimic its approach that we are presently watching. That crossing will perhaps result in an increase of earthquakes (not happening now) and a magnetic pole shift. We’ll see what happens!
4/15/13 still looking for information. The fact the go that’s shut us out is proof enough that titis info is dangerous and foreboding
