This is a very interesting video. When I was young me and my dad worked on building a 6 inch reflector telescope. We did it the hard way we ordered the basic materials from a company called Edmund Scientific somewhere up in New Jersey. We ground the solid thick bottom glass plate by using Rouge compound between a another top thinner glass plate by pushing it forward and then back toward us and rotating around a platform to create a concave glass plate that is on the bottom. It was a standing kind of job which required a lot of patience and perseverance of standing and pushing the top glass plate back and forth while rotating around the platform with the rouge material as an abrasive between it grinding the bottom glass plate to a concave. Me and my dad took turns doing this over many months. At one point my dad built a machine to do the work for us but it was not perfect but it got the job done. Once we thought we were getting close my dad built a kind of Foucault tester to test if we were getting close to applying the silvering process to the concave mirror.
The next step was to build the aluminum frame for our telescope along with provisions for mounting the concave mirror using a platform that used three triangular adjustment wing nuts to adjust the concave mirror. The eyepiece assembly with the attached reflecting mirror was mounted near the top of the telescope. I had my dad mount my old 3 inch reflector which had a star finder so you can point the telescope in the direction of the object you wishes to view so if the concave reflecting mirror is aligned properly you can look through the telescope and see the object and maybe some cases you will have move the telescope a little to see the desired object come into view. The thing this telescope was lacking was a clock drive unit which never occurred to me at the time since the earth is moving the telescope had to be constantly readjusted to keep the object in our view. Most of the modern telescope clock drive system have computerized control where you can key in the ascension an declination angles to where the object is and the telescope clock drive motors point the telescope in the direction of the object you wish to view.
At a young age I became interested in Astronomy and knew pretty much most of the constellations in the sky. Also I had a map of where all the special objects were located in the sky like Galaxy's and Nebula's. My first comet was comet Kohoutek that was visible around march in 1973 at that time I was 16 years old. I had a 3 inch reflector and tried to see what it looks like using my 3 inch reflector but it was a waste of time since it was not very bright. But using my eyes I could see the head and the faint tail of comet Kohoutek. All the other comets that showed up later in my life were no shows but can only be observed with a pair of binoculars since you can spot the comet very easily by looking for a fussy star compared to the sharply focused stars that were around it.
So coming back to the video I posted of Comet Elenin that is currently in our solar system has peaked my interest due to my past connection and my fascination with the stars above and what is out there. The Author of the Video brings up some interesting things about events that have happened recently such as Japans Major Devastating Earth Quakes as being connected to certain alignments of the Comet with the Earth and Sun. Other interesting events he is predicting such as possible eclipse of the comet between the Earth and the Sun blocking it light. At the very end he speculates that it is really not a comet but a red dwarf that has twice the mass of Jupiter. He has even entered the coordinates into Google Earth for comet Elenin so you can view it but to his surprise the comet Elenin is censored or blacked out in the sky view of Google Earth.
Please give your opinions and comments what you think will happen in relation to comet Elenin as it approaches us.

Elenin (coordinates: 5h 53m 27s, -6 10' 58):
--------
1)
a. Planet alignment: C/2010 (Elenin) ---> Earth ---> Sun ---> Jupiter
b. Major event occurred: February 27 An 8.8-magnitude earthquake occurs in Chile, triggering a tsunami over the Pacific and killing 497.[15] The earthquake is one of the largest in recorded history.
2)
a. Planet alignment: C/2010 (Elenin) ---> Earth ---> Sun
b. Major event occurred: March 11 A 9.0[8] magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami hits the east Japan causing over 13,000 deaths with another 15,000 missing. Tsunami warnings are issued in 50 countries and territories. Emergencies are declared at four nuclear power plants affected by the quake.[9]
3)
a. Planet alignment: Sun ---> C/2010 (Elenin) ---> Earth
b. Major event (probably occurs): September 28, 2011...
4)
a. Planet alignment: Sun ---> Earth ---> C/2010 (Elenin)
b. Major event (probably occurs): November 22, 2011...
What can we do? or are just to sit and watch the show instead?
PS. Thanks!

You do know that within 24hrs of the Japan quake, there was a special on History Ch, that highlighted an underwater ruin,[off the SW coast of Japan] that has artifacts,architecture similar,if not the same as the Egyptian Pyramids. Including a smaller "sphinx" version. It was something I thought, interesting, as the next night the quake struck.
As far as this comet, what is the density of it? Comets pass by, and at great distances. Aside from the occasional cult mass suicide, their presence is minimal. The effects, nil. Look at Hailey's and Hale Bopp. Balls of ice and rock, don't have the mass,gravity pull,electromagnetic action, or density to do what's being proposed. To do, so it's not a comet.
It's something else.
By your dates of instability events, it coincides with something else that the Earth comes closest to, during it's orbit. As well as the orbit of the oncoming object. Notice the time frame of the events. They occur within the early fall/late winter months. When the Earth is getting closer to, and further away from, the object. Thus, the planet experiences gravitational pulls , meaning quakes etc, are the most intense at these times. As the object comes closer, the events will intensify with every passing year. Especially when we're closest to it. That time should be "interesting," to say the least. When it's on the return orbit, the further away it gets, the less intense these events will be. There will still be quakes,etc, but again, it'll take as many yrs as they've grown intense to be less so. By then it'll be far enough away for us to buy beach front property off the coast of Nevada, etc.
HARRP can only be piggybacked, to some of these events, but used nonetheless. At least until the number of natural events are unmatchable. Or/and, the facilities are destroyed, being in bad locations.
Believe what you wish about what "it" is/isn't, but no comet can do what's being done now. Besides they pass by too quickly. What do you get to see it? A few nights, like one or two max? If the density was that,or more than Earth, things would be "different" quickly.
BTW, I though the Elenin was supposed to terraform the place on 3-15-20011. When the time span takes place later than that, but not long after 2012. And much longer than a year is the event.
Do you see how they still try to hide the truth, yet will not speak it?
I'd be more up for the thinking, that the comet is not a comet despite appearance.
As I think about this, it seems strange that the said/written word of, would come from someone,somewhere, that has never seen snow, nor winter cold as I have. Not so long ago as it was said.
"Pray not your flight be in winter."
