In fairness to the OP'er, this is posted in the Skunk Works.
However Theo, if you really had the proof you claim you do to some of your claims, then why did you not post this in one of the more "serious" forums?
My prediction for the day is.......once a mod arrives here, this thread is going to be pretty much decimated!

The Sum of all Fears : What if Elenin is Nibiru?

Well there's the fact that all of this Nibiru nonsense comes from Sitchin, who claims it comes from the Sumerians. There's a few problems with that. First and foremost, Sitchin couldn't read Sumerian. Second, the word Nibiru does not exist in Sumerian. Its earliest common use is in Akkadian where it refers to a point of crossing such as at a river. It doesn't take on an astronomical meaning until the Babylonians where it refers to the highest point of the ecliptic. It also occasionally refers to the constellation or planet in this position, which is usually Jupiter or Mercury.
We can also look at Sitchin's evidence for believing in the "12th Planet." Namely Cylinder Seal VA243. Now Sitchin claims this seal depicts an Annunaki with the solar system clearly present in the background. Unfortunately for Sitchin and Nibiru neither or these things are true. What is depicted in this seal is a man pledging fealty to another man. As for what Sitchin calls the solar system, these are actually stars. We know the Sumerian symbols for the visible planets and the Sun. None of these symbols appear on this seal. Instead all that appears is the symbol for star.
So, there you go. Not only did the Sumerians not have Nibiru as a word, but Sitchin's entire rationale for believing another planet existed was wrong. Just to clarify what I did there. I took the source for all of this Nibiru mythology and proved it wrong, thus proving Nibiru wrong. If you want I can also go about proving Nancy Lieder wrong since she's the one that attached Nibiru to 2012.

The sum... of ALL fears.
Wow. What weight such a small collection of words can carry!
The key word here is not 'sum' or 'all' but indeed, 'fear'. As a society of so-called civilized creatures, we are today collectively held hostage to fear, by fear.
FDR's statement that, 'the only thing we have to fear is, fear itself' was profound and damned sure true.
Too bad we have forgotten how to set aside our fear and reach deeper for something far more worthy.
But... to be absolutely sure, if we MUST fear something, we should fear that which we can overcome so that we use that fear as an energy to our behalf... rather than suffer as a slave to it.
If some terrible destroyer ever comes from the darkness of space... such as a brown dwarf or similar, chances are slim that we could do anything about it. Once we understood that our fate... whatever it was to be was also sealed and beyond our control, what in the hell is the point of fearing it anymore???
We've been trained to fear, raised to fear, fed upon deep bowls of fear milked by insecurities and surgared with ignorance.
It's time we walked away from this. We are what we are and we can't be defeated except by fate... which we have no control over, and our own inept fears.
But... as they say, it's a free country. What you want to believe is up to you

Saturn has been photographed in MANY positions depending on the which camera was used! For someone to post a pic of it at 97 deg on its side is misleading to say the least. Where is the proof that has changed position?

Actually the Pioneer plaque was attached to Pioneer 10 and 11, which were launched in the 70s. Their missions were to study the asteroid belt, Jupiter, and Saturn. Pioneer 10 has not been sending data back since 2003 and Pioneer 11 has not been sending data back since 1995.

No. It won't pass between the Sun and Earth.
It will be above the ecliptic at that time.

Article says the positions of Saturn's Moons proves it has tilted :
