I just accidentally reminded myself that eight years ago I wrote the first post on the first incarnation of the LeEMS Bean, also called the LeEMS Bean. Happy birthday Bean! The first post was boring, but this one from 2008 is interesting:

Comments from outside the Paranormal book isle
Sometimes I really love how newspapers have made their online articles comment friendly online. While I was reading Tennant and District Times of Australia article: UFOs frighten Marlinja family, I found a reference in the comments to something called Nibiru and how its impending approach is causing the increasing occurrences of UFOs.
My interest is always peaked when a hitherto unknown group of die-hards or a secret society or subculture is hinted at. I only dabble in reading things like Paranormal Magazine regularly, so I had never heard of a 10th planet on an extended elliptical orbit that’s next coming was predicted by a thousands of years old Sumerian myth.
For those of you who do also not know, and who often haunt areas of the book store that are not the Paranormal and New Age section–here’s what I found out: Nibiru was written by in depth by Zecharia Sitchin. Before Sitchin, nobody knew about the Sumerian myth of a race of aliens who mined Earth for its gold, genetically altered apes to be the superworker human race, and caused anomalies in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. There has also been an anomalous space object spotted in the direction of Orion in 1983 which was speculatively dubbed Planet X. For believers of Stichin, this Planet X is Nibiru, and its approach will cause something akin to the end of the world.
What I find interestingly thorough about the Nibiru researchers’ claims is that almost every astronomical prediction for the coming years–the pole shifting, the massive earth changes–can all be tied into the gravitational upset that will happen when Nibiru arrives. The great flood, Sumerian and Egyptian technological advances, and all can also be tied into Nibiru’s and its inhabitants effect on our planet. Like so many other wholly-too-large-to-be-comprehended or proven theories about our planet, individual acceptance of Nibiru’s existence is a faith thing.
