Our solar system is in a bubble, the heliosphere. The ribbon (and the Voyager probes) are near its edge, and outside are the aforementioned high energy cosmic rays zinging around, and the occasional interstellar cloud of 'stuff'. The heliosphere keeps most of that outside of our solar system, and we end up with a stable environment consisting of mostly just what the sun puts out. Baring a local supernova, we're safe. But a "strong magnetic field just outside the solar system could press against the heliosphere and interact with it in unknown ways. Will this strengthen our natural shielding—or weaken it?"
Now, this is where things start to get really interesting. In December it was announced that the veteran Voyager probes currently flying toward the heliosphere measured an unexpected increase in magnetic field strength. Scientists believe that this increase is due to an unexpectedly large magnetic field threaded through a cloud of interstellar gas called the "Local Fluff." Our solar system is currently speeding into this Fluff. In research that was published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, Jacob Heerikhuisen, a NASA Heliophysics Guest Investigator from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, believes the ribbon observed by IBEX is caused by an interstellar magnetic field, possibly relating to the Voyager probes' discovery. "We believe the ribbon is a reflection," said Heerikhuisen. "It is where solar wind particles heading out into interstellar space are reflected back into the solar system by a galactic magnetic field." Therefore, the energetic protons traveling inside the solar wind encounter this "galactic magnetic field" and are manipulated in such a way that they are reflected back to where they came from (U-turn style).
Now comes in the part where America banks on it! As you all likely know, we are horribly in debt, they claim that on August 2nd the treasury will run out of money unless the debt ceiling is raised. Is it possible that they plan on all financial systems in the world to shut down? thus there is no records of their money or debt?

this might sound dumb on my part but i'm having a hard time understanding this concept in the paragraph above. can you please explain it a little better or in more detailedit on 16-7-2011 by Gemini67 because: didn't quote properly

This is actually very close on what they are hoping for.

Supposedly she said that NASA knew about massive solar flares that are heading our way in august.
