From what I've read there have been multiple disasters that we have averted on our timeline.
The Earth is not a true sphere, and therefore has three orthogonal axes of inertia. The axis around which the moment of inertia is greatest is closely aligned with the rotation axis (the axis going through the North and South Poles). The other two axes are near the equator. This is similar to a brick rotating around an axis going through its shortest dimension (a vertical axis when the brick is lying flat). But if the moment of inertia around one of the two axes close to the equator becomes nearly equal to that around the polar axis, then the constraint on the orientation of the object (the Earth) is relaxed.
This situation is like an American football (or a Rugby ball) spinning around an axis running through its "equator". (Note that the "equator" of the ball does not correspond to the equator of the Earth.) Small perturbations can move the football so that it spins around another axis through this same "equator". In the same way, when the conditions are right, the Earth (both the crust and the mantle) can slowly reorient so that a new geographic point moves to the North Pole, while keeping the axis of low moment of inertia quite near the equator.
Such a reorientation changes the latitudes of most points on the Earth, by amounts that depend on how far they are from the axis near the equator that does not move.

Please provide us with proof off that CD
You keep saying its not classified, yet you have not yet posted any images or data from the disk you claim to have

I must say that it seems your problem is purely with the idea of having to relinquish your physical state, even temporarily. Can this really be so frightening having experienced OBEs previously? Really? I'm not sure I understand.
Surely you felt the freedom of the soul unencumbered by the physical body, did you not? Did you experience discomfort or fear? It seems unlikely. So what is your fear now? So what if we "die"? How can you have been out of body and still fear death?
I don't know what will happen in 2012 (yet) but I look forward to it. I'm one of those who periodically, when I'm by myself, ask to go home. I know this is not where I "am" and it's very difficult to jump through the hoops set up for the amusement of some. I look forward to whatever is coming in 2012 or before.
So, more to come or is that as much as we can hope for?

Gee...when the rapture comes...can I have your car?

You're not actually stating anything untrue. The only issue is whether or not this CD exists and is genuine.
However, everything you said about a 37 degree pole shift is true.
You will find only a handful of places in the entire world that are "safe" and survivable. It is survivable, but certainly not for the majority.
Many of them are in Africa (which is why I personally believe that life tends to originate out of Africa -- this would not be our first pole shift, nor will it be the last)
One of the other places is in South Africa -- hence why I think some people are going there. Not for the Antartica research, stuff, whatever reason it was.
I'm sorry OP, but if you were really employed in the job you claim to be, you'd know the difference between eminent and imminent and you'd use them appropriately.
