There are those who would say that such an ambitious project, to divert
      the path of Planet X into a sharper retrograde orbit, could not be kept a
      secret, but clues that this is the plan are everywhere. Despite
      loud evidence that Planet X has arrived, the explanations to cover this
      are weak. In this the establishment is bluffing, assuming they will be
      able to divert Planet X, which will then just float away, and the evidence
      that it ever existed will grow cold and die, a conspiracy theory, an
      internet rumor, just another end-of-the-world flap instigated and promoted
      by crazies. Control is tight, reaching out to world leaders who have been
      assured that this presence in the solar system will float away, the real
      danger panic in the populace. Astronomers and newscasters and anyone who
      might be in a position to know the truth have been muzzled with this
      assurance. 
      
      What will happen if this gambit fails, as it surely will, and Planet X
      trudges on toward its death grip on Earth’s magnetic field, grinding
      rotation to a stop with all the attendant horrors that an impending pole
      shift will bring? Panic, and not in the public, which will watch in
      astonishment as the establishment fractures and becomes hysterical. Unable
      to escape to Mars and watch the turmoil from a distance, returning as
      Kings, unable to feel secure in their underground bunkers given the
      earthquake predictions that would surely entomb them, unable to secure the
      US Military for their private guards as the military has indeed supplanted
      their Commander in Chief with their own internal leadership in August, as
      rumored, the establishment is left on a level playing field with the
      common man. It also leaves all those muzzled with pangs of conscience.
      Should they now speak out, now that the Earth will surly be ravaged and
      the ignorant populace not alerted to this outcome? 
      
      A drama will ensue, wherein each individual will be challenged to do what
      is right for others and tell the truth or continue to succumb to
      intimidation and think of their own security and comfort. This drama will
      intensify, despite assassinations and finger pointing and loud rhetoric,
      as the sheer numbers of individuals enlisted in the conspiracy leaves
      wiping out those in the know as an impossibility. The drama will intensify
      right into rotation stoppage, and as long as any means of alerting the
      public exists, on whatever level.
