MONTHS of drought have left the Rhine river and the Danube river at a record low, dealing a blow to the economy and exposing relics from the past.
THE docks are eerily quiet at Cologne’s main port on the mighty River Rhine, with hundreds of containers piled up and awaiting their journey north on one of Europe’s busiest commercial arteries.
Months of scarce rainfall and hot sunny weather drove water levels on the Rhine to a record low, forcing ship operators to suspend services to keep vessels from running aground.
“We haven’t had any new ships in Cologne since last week — they stop in Duisburg 80 kilometres north“, Oliver Grossmann, head of shipping company CTS, told AFP. Under normal conditions, “three or four” of his big vessels would stop each day in the city known for its Gothic cathedral.
The few barges still chugging along the river have had to drastically reduce their cargo to stay afloat. Sitting in his office overlooking the mountain of containers, Grossman said rail links can only fill part of the gap as long as river transport is paralysed because of a lack of infrastructure and train engineers.
At the entrance to the port of Duisburg, a small tower houses a Rhine measuring station. On its roof are two LED panels reading 5.09 feet.
“This is the lowest level ever measured here,” said Jan Boehme, a hydrologist with the Water and Shipping Authority. The previous low water record set in Cologne in 2003 of 81 centimetres was shattered last Friday when the level dipped to just 77 centimetres, the water authorities said.
All along the Rhine, the situation looks similarly dire
“Since July, the water levels have been lower than we normally see in this season. This drought phase is exceptionally long. For water levels to rise again we would need a lot of rain — a little shower won’t do it. We need extended, intense, widespread rainfall,” Mr Boehme said, noting that in October it usually fluctuates between three and four metres.
Although the link is not proven beyond a doubt, German authorities say the extreme dry weather matches the models of climate change drawn up by scientists.
The Rhine is hardly the only major waterway affected, with levels on the Elbe leading to Hamburg also dangerously low.
Bicycles and bombs resurface
The drying-up of large swathes of the Rhine marks a heavy blow to the German economy. In 2017, 186 million tonnes of goods were transported between Basel in Switzerland and the German-Dutch border — amounting to around half of European river shipping, according to the Strasbourg-based Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine.
But since the dry spell began, industrial giant Thyssenkrupp has had to cut back production at its Duisburg plant “because a sufficient supply of raw material cannot be assured”, a company spokesman said.
Chemicals giant BASF said it had “adapted” production due to “limited deliveries” to its Ludwigshafen factory, also on the Rhine.
Energy group RWE is struggling to supply its Hamm power plant with coal. Meanwhile in Cologne, despite mild autumn weather, services on tourist boats and ferries has ground to a near standstill.
The sinking of water levels has dramatically altered a picturesque stretch of the German landscape, exposing all manner of wrecks and detritus on the banks and under bridges.
Abandoned and long-submerged bicycles have resurfaced by the hundreds. More threateningly, a 50-kilo World War II bomb emerged in the dried-out riverbed and had to be gingerly defused.
Meanwhile, another majestic river, the Danube in Romania, was hit by the terribly hot summer 2018 and the resulting smallest summer precipitation over the past 70 years.
Although the economy is also greatly suffering, the drying up of the mystic river has allowed a group of archaeologists from Ferenczy Múzeumi Centrum to carry out unexpected excavations, which turned out very successful.
They indeed found ancient coins, gold, weapons and other artifacts.
This intense drought in Europe will make history: economically and archeologically!

The planet’s axis tilt has shifted. It is causing heatwaves in the summer and bitter cold winters. On the summer solstice the sun was 4000 miles farther north than it should have been. It will look normal during the spring and fall equinoxes because the equator is still the center whether the tilt is normal or 4000 miles beyond the tropics. However, if you look at the sun on June 21st, you will see it rising and setting toward the north. This past summer, it continued to move farther north in mid July until it was just 5 degrees from being true north. This was the first time the sun continued to move north after the summer solstice. It indicates an alteration in the orbit as well.
There are also underground tunnels being bored all over the world. The US is like swiss cheese as our gov’t connects all the maglev train tunnels between all the USAF bases and major cities. I’ve been underground in some of the cities. The tunnel boring machines are called TBM’s and you can pull up images of them on Google. Some of these cracks and sinkholes are causing the water in the lakes and rivers to pour down into the tunnels. Other cracks are being caused by the moon’s gravitational pull tearing apart the planet as it tries to maintain its orbit around the planet. The abnormal movement of the planet is causing tsunamis, quakes and volcanic eruptions as the planet tries to shift onto its side like Uranus. We can only notice this by the changes in weather and the changes in star layout on the summer solstice. You can’t see it during the spring and fall due to the equinoxes being the same and centered over the equator. But if you look on June 21st you will see it best. Last summer was the worst and we were nearly horizontal but cannot be confirmed until June. Everyone thinks such a change would have Hollywood effects. It doesn’t. The changes are in our weather and geological activity. To understand this, we rotate at 1000 mph but no one can feel it unless something interferes with the rotation. Then we get a tidal wave (tsunami). The more the ice melts at the south pole, the more we shift. Just an inch of ice is enough to cause a shift when the heatwaves melt it. The arctic circle last summer reached 106F degrees. We should see the same in southern Australia, South Africa, southern South America and antarctica. The south pole acts as a gyroscopic anchor maintaining the tilt of the axis.
Matthew 24:3-14 (KJV)
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
There are MANY false prophets and it is increasing in number via the internet in ways NO one saw coming…There is LITTLE doubt about the hour we are indeed in…The love of many has grown cold…Doctrines of demons are spreading like a WILD RAGING FOREST FIRE in a forest that has seen no rain in years…The WORD of God has become a FAMINE…Just as it says in Amos 8…93% of American homes have a Bible…76% have TWO or MORE…YET…Less than 18% read their Bibles and know the words therein…EVERY SINGLE unfulfilled prophesy is coming true at an EXPONENTIAL rate of speed, and it is increasing in ways I cannot do justice with words alone….We are indeed in the end times…Of that there can be little doubt…And yet….There is some sparks of hope, because those who truly do believe, those who are truly sealed with HIS holy spirit are LOOKING UP, for our redemption surely draws nigh..!!! I am so thankful for sites like this…Sites that are bringing the TRUTH and actual real news too the masses, while so much is being hidden behind lies and non-stories….God Bless and MUCH LOVE….

This guy is the reincarnated Jesus? He looks like Jesus, and he talks like Jesus, especially on this video. Whenever he talks important points, sun blinds his face and illuminates him. He talks about how many times Bible have been revised by those demonic entities. He says you do not need priests nor churches. Just directly connect to God and Jesus.

“They” are planning to crash the stock market world wide. I am NOT interested in stock market, and I do not have any investment on “their” stock market. But if you have some investment in stock market, you had better be cautious. “They” have a plan and are ready to crash “their” stock market at the end of this month. Then “they” want to reset “their” currency.

Is an Asteroid Coming? The Proposed Budget for NASA’s ‘Planetary Defense Coordination Office’ Is Suddenly Increased To $150 Million
http://marygreeley.com/?p=76664
The Trump administration has proposed increasing the budget for NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office by three-fold — from some $60 million to $150 million — amid growing concerns that humanity is utterly unprepared for the unlikely but still unthinkable: an asteroid strike of calamitous proportions.
The White House also recently issued a new National Near-Earth Object Preparedness Strategy and Action Plan intended to energize a host of agencies who could contribute to potential ways to prevent such as a disaster.
