That particular website (krishna.org) is run by sort of a renegade Krishna devotee who hustled to get that domain name and posts all sorts of old articles along with his own outspoken views...
The particular article your quoting from was written shortly after the first lunar mission by a nice devotee with good writing skills but no particular training in science. The figure that he gave was based on an interpretation of Vedic cosmology that was conventionally accepted by many in the Hindu community at the time.
The scientific arm of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness is the Bhaktivedanta Institute, and the Richard Thompson (aka Sadaputa das) article I sited is more an official current view. The Bhaktivedanta Institute hadn't been formed yet at the time of the lunar missions...
The main official sites of the Krishna Consciousness movement are Krishna.com, Iskcon.com, BBT.com, and a few others. From time-to-time, I selectively link to articles from several independent Vedic-oriented/devotee sites (like Krishna.org) according to where my google searches lead me. Frankly, I don't recall posting that old article here - I must have been half asleep if I did...
By the way, the dates that he puts on his articles only indicates when they were first posted on his Krishna.org website - many were originally published over 35 years ago ... |
So Swami Prabhupada is a lying cracker? |

Groundwater Lost To Rising Sea Levels
Greater Than Thought: Study
by Mira Oberman
Sat Nov 17, 1:00 PM ET
CHICAGO (AFP) - Rising sea levels could swallow up to 40 percent more potable groundwater than previously thought ... because of "tricks of topography", a new study has found.

The volume would not account for all the water needed. Please. |
Bit of a knee-jerk reaction wouldn't you say?
And once again based on how the earths geology exists today with no reference to how it was formerly.
If the earths landmass was much flatter and lower previously (which it obviously was) then suddenly it looks easilly possible.
The himalayas for example are at a current rate of uplift of 1 metre per decade.Given that the rate of uplift is slowing, and has slowed, you can then mark everest as a seaside resort relatively recently in geological time. |

And even if Americans were all "chompin' at the bit" for "Canada's fresh water" there's not a damn thing you guys could do to stop us from just going in there and taking it. Your country only exists because the American government allows it to be so. Why? Because we don't want to have to deal with your French anymore than you do. |

The LiveScience article's title is a little misleading; I found the website for the scientist mentioned in the story, and the website explains the discovery a little better.
They didn't find a 'body of water' deep in the earth's crust; what they found, actually, was a large area of the earth's mantle, about 600 miles deep, that contains an unexpectedly large volume of water molecules trapped in interstitial spaces in the rock. The region of trapped water is close to the boundaries of the pacific plate. The scientists theorize that, as the Pacific plate is subducted under the continent of Asia, seawater-saturated bedrock is drawn down into the Earth's interior; as the bedrock is remelted, the seawater is released under the mantle. Over millions of years it has apparently built up into a volume the size of the arctic ocean.

Way more exciting than the Olympics in Bejing! Screw that dog and pony, best of show for the 5 races of the surface world, I wanna see the inner Earth. As every living biological entity grows from the inside out so does mother earth. How do you think an insect larger than present day man could handle gravity? Or dinosaurs for that matter? Well, it is because the earth is expanding and at the time those creatures were alive, the planet was a lot smaller hence less gravity than today.
And regarding teleportation or wormhole physics, they are already available to the elites. Projects like the Phiadelphia Experiment which sent an entire destroyer, the USS Eldridge, into hyperspace have never stopped getting funding and being perfected. Knowledge like this is difficult to accept until you get past a national identity and look to the stars for your roots. Even though you may have more than one star to call home, this experiment called human life on this planet is being manipulated by entities intent on guiding humanity in their likeness, that of a spacefaring pirate that has no home but travels the celestial sea bringing life into the remote hinterlands of the galaxy. |

And this is exactly why I support Canada developing a covert nuclear weapons program.
It would be next to impossible (in secret I mean) to do, but we do have the capabilities. |
