Washington Monument May Be Tilting, Stones Fall Off Washington National Cathedral After Strong and Shallow 5.9 Earthquake
“(AP) – A spokesman for Washington National Cathedral says at least three of the four pinnacles on the central tower have fallen off and the central tower appears to be leaning.
The pinnacles are the top stones on the cathedral’s towers.
Richard Weinberg, director of communications for the cathedral, said the cathedral has been evacuated and stone masons are assessing the damage.
The Washington National Cathedral is an Episcopal Church landmark in the capital. Located in the northwest quadrant of the city near foreign embassies and the vice president’s residence, the gothic-like structure is among the tallest in the city. It’s historically been the site of funerals and memorials for presidents and statesmen.” Source.

Only 21 with his whole life ahead of him,
Thinking about the friends he had,
Now that they’re six feet under,
Paying the price for a blunder,
Can you feel his pain; it’s crashing like thunder.
But he rolls on, the gun by his side,
The bullet in the chamber and the fear he can’t hide,
Another punk sucker steps into the focus,
Making him disappear, with a little hocus-pocus.
Just another punk sucker from the boulevard farm.
Your mind is blind, and your eyes can’t see.
My silence, bred violence as I sit here on the inside
Deceived, taking for granted the air that I breathed,
Names carved deep inside these time scared walls,
What’s up boo?
Step up; check in, you better start praying, Is it your time to fall?
Nothing in common with “Planet X”…except the “X”, I suppose.

It’s kind of a bummer that comet Elenin got thrown in with all of this Nibiru nonsense. The comet may very well be a bonafide “sign in the heavens” as it appears during the feast days. However, many are probably not going to consider that possibility due to the Planet X silliness.
