The A To Z of December 21 2012

The A To Z of December 21 2012

Posted on 10 December 2012 by Joshua

First, let us be very clear. December 21 2012 is NOT the end of the world.

But by all accounts, it is a date surrounded by speculation – some terribly ill-informed – that has millions of people concerned about what might happen, while millions more simply couldn’t care less. And they’re the ones who are doing absolutely nothing about being prepared for anything.

As we’ve reported previously, if CERN and the Large Hadron Collider go into action around this time, we might expect tectonic plates to be fractured, followed by serious earthquakes, a rising of the underlying magma thereby raising the sea floor substantially, and that would cause a displacement of the oceans (they’d encroach on to coastlines around the world).

However, it seems highly unlikely, if not impossible, for that to occur in a 24-hour period. More likely, if it happens, it could take weeks or even months.

At the same time, it is obvious that the sun is exhibiting some extremely unusual behavior. We have had NASA warning us for years that a major X-class flare can be expected in the near future, with the potential to wipe out the grid. For a while, we thought this would only affect any daylight portion of the earth that might be struck by an electromagnetic pulse. But then we realized that if such a pulse were to hit the East Coast of the US just as daylight arrived there, the EMP would invade the electricity grid wires and underground pipelines, and could travel right across the country, even in the dark, at almost lightning speed, blowing transformers and even gas pipelines from one coast to the other.

It would be the same as electricity traveling through the wires in your house, regardless of the fact that the wires are hidden in the dark behind the walls. So when will this happen? No-one knows for sure.

Now let’s get to the two significant videos that will enlighten all of us about solar storms, chemtrails, and “the end of time.”

To set the stage, let’s start with this one, titled:- “The Evidence – Electromagnetic Changes in our Solar System [A Review].” It was posted just yesterday – December 9 2012. Watch it here.

And with that under your belt, move on to…..

Heard of the Photon Belt?

Pole Shift?

Precession of Equinoxes?

Nibiru, Solar Storms, The Mayan Calendar or Biblical Prophecy?

“With over 30 yrs in Radio & TV Broadcasting, Boulder Professor Marc “The Arcturian”, Grandson of Warren Buffet’s Mentor, Benjamin Graham, takes you on this Galaxial Tour in:

“The Most Comprensive 60 Minutes On “2012″ Ever Assembled”

“Over 4G/1,200 Photos, Clips, Animations, Slides and SFX went into this video of Disneyesque Proportion even Bill didn’t know you could make when you let a deranged professor play with his PowerPoint2010 60 Day Trial Version for three months!”

Every Man, Woman, and Child on Planet Earth should see this…
…in the next 23 days.”

You or someone you know wants to see this movie.

none of us may even remember this video.” -M* – “May The Force Be With Us All”

Its you, not me… Is our Country breaking up?

Posted on 13 November 2012 by Joshua

UPDATED: November 15th 2012

Is Our Country Breaking Up?

Last night (Monday November 12 2012) on the radio talk show Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis we learned that several “states” (which is actually people representing their own interests) have filed online petitions at whitehouse.gov requesting secession from the union..

According to the website whitehouse.gov each petition requires 25,000 electronic signatures for the request to be reviewed by the staff of the Whitehouse.. What this review entails we do not at this time know.

Space Needle Dreams

Space Needle Dreams

Posted on 12 November 2012 by Joshua

“The Proof Of Prediction
Is The Fact In Hindsight.” – B

So What Are We Waiting For?

We do not consider ourselves to be prophets, but it seems worthwhile to at least contemplate some unsettling reports from several people who have been having  dreams about a major earthquake on the West Coast.

Then we’ll balance that out with some down-to-earth facts about recent earthquakes and what scientists are saying they could be a precursor to.

One source says he has “seen” dolphins swimming around the Space Needle in Seattle.

Another, that in his dream  there was a massive underwater disturbance that raised the seabed and started the ocean “not like a tsunami” pushing its way inland and up multiple rivers as the seabed rose.

The result was that huge areas of low-lying coastline were soon underwater while rivers overflowed their banks into surrounding towns and cities.

Such dreams, or visions if you will, are easily dismissed by skeptics. But when they are reported by a number of people who don’t know each other, one has to say there just may be some real substance to what they’re reporting.

We’ve also mentioned Clif High’s “webbot” reports which use algorithms to analyze language used on the Internet, and in several of his reports he has spoken of a “global coastal event” as happening sometime in the next few months, or next year.

Now let’s look at the “real” evidence that could be telling us to expect a Magnitude 9.0 earthquake that would devastate every city from Vancouver BC down to the southern end of the San Andreas Fault.

To do that, we’re going to recommend that you read and seriously take note of this report on the “modernsurvivalblog” site.

The report starts like this:-

“At the Seismology Lab at the University of Washington, there is concern that the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that occurred on the British Columbia coast over the weekend could affect the Pacific Northwest including Washington, Oregon, and northern California.
“We need to watch the whole region with extra care,” said a seismologist there.

“The magnitude 7.7 was a big earthquake, considered one of the most significant along the northwest coast in 60 years.

“Reported by NWCN.com in Seattle, scientists also looked to see if the quake affected volcanoes in Washington, and will remain on alert for at least several more weeks. So far, everything is quiet…”

So far…..and all of us would be very happy if it stayed that way.

Please read that report (here’s the link again) and decide for yourself whether a combination of dreams, forward-looking information garnered from the Internet, and actual events such as these creeping earthquakes off Vancouver Island – followed by concerns expressed by scientists about possible earthquake activity spreading down to California, including potential volcanic eruptions, are worth considering – and preparing for.

Happy Thanksgiving Folks.

Sandy Update – Fighting For Food

Sandy Update – Fighting For Food

Posted on 29 October 2012 by michael

“As rain from the leading edges began to fall over the Northeast on Sunday, hundreds of thousands of people from Maryland to Connecticut were ordered to leave low-lying coastal areas, including 375,000 in lower Manhattan and other parts of New York City, 50,000 in Delaware and 30,000 in Atlantic City, N.J., where the city’s 12 casinos shut down for only the fourth time ever.

“I think this one’s going to do us in,” said Mark Palazzolo, who boarded up his bait-and-tackle shop in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., with the same wood he used in past storms, crossing out the names of Hurricanes Isaac and Irene and spray-painting “Sandy” next to them. “I got a call from a friend of mine from Florida last night who said, `Mark, get out! If it’s not the storm, it’ll be the aftermath. People are going to be fighting in the streets over gasoline and food.’”

Dodge One – Waiting For Another

Dodge One – Waiting For Another

Posted on 28 October 2012 by michael

M7.7 Hits Queen Charlottes CanadaFears of a tsunami reaching as far as Hawaii followed a M7.7 earthquake in the Queen Charlotte area of Canada last night.

As you can see in the Google Earth image at left, it happened right where two tectonic plates meet, and this junction looks very much like a zipper…which is coming undone. Slowly…but surely…and with increasing speed.

Fortunately, nothing major eventuated. This time.

And just as fortunately, the West Coast, as vulnerable as it is to earthquakes and tsunamis, has dodged yet another bullet.

Nevertheless, the bigger picture shows us once again that the Pacific Ring of Fire is becoming increasingly active.

The IRIS world map of earthquake activity at right shows just how active this region has been over the past two weeks. The red dots are just what’s been going on in the past 24 hours. The big red one is the earthquake in Canada last night.

As our Pacific Rim earthquake activity last two weeksOregon and Washington scientists have been warning for years, this area is overdue for a major ‘quake. Therefore, we should at least keep up, if not accelerate, our preparedness plans.

Meanwhile, tens of millions of people on the East Coast are preparing and bracing for the impact of Hurricane Sandy which is due to hit the New England area within 24 hours.

Sandy will rage across that region for several days bringing extremely high winds, heaps of rain, and the associated power outages, flooding, downed trees and general devastation – no doubt along with several deaths.

Obviously the mainstream media will be “on top of this story” as they like to say and they will have plenty to report on even after the storm subsides because power outages and food shortages are guaranteed to last for days if not weeks in some places.

This will also be another test for FEMA, and it’s likely to show once again that despite all the talk, emergency services are utterly inadequate when it comes to a widespread catastrophe such as we see unfolding now. Nevertheless, as we mentioned in yesterday’s newsletter, some sensible people are well prepared and self sufficient.

Meanwhile, the President is planning to be at FEMA headquarters to get a briefing on  the situation before heading out to Florida on his campaign trail. One question being raised by some talk-show hosts is whether this storm and its aftermath will disrupt voting on election day – and whether the election might be called off or delayed under Executive Order.
We’ll just have to wait and see about that.

In the news: Things that catch our eye..

Posted on 28 October 2012 by Joshua

I was just scanning the internet and found quite a lot of news that makes me think there are a million reasons to get prepared.. Here are some of them..

We start with a article the points out WHY you need to come to the Preparedness Center and Get Prepared BEFORE the emergency starts..

Storm supplies flying off shelves

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Generators, flashlights, water, batteries — these are just some of the emergency supplies that are running out in many stores in the Northeast.

Nearly a third of the country’s northeast is preparing for Hurricane Sandy, which expected to make landfall on Sunday and Monday. Customers who have been flocking to stores may be coming home empty handed.

Large stores are rushing trucks to replenish supplies as several states from North Carolina to Connecticut have declared emergencies before the hurricane makes landfall on Sunday and Monday and brings heavy rain and high winds, which could cause power outage and flooding.

New York (CNN) — The subway in the city that never sleeps will shut down Sunday night as officials brace for the impact of Hurricane Sandy.

New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority will suspend subway service at 7 p.m., Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. The last commuter railroad trains will also leave at that time. And bus service will stop at 9 p.m., he said.

“The storm is coming … and now it is time to take action,” Cuomo told reporters. “A situation like this, you don’t want to be overly panicked and overly prepared, but you want to be prudent and you want to do what is necessary.”

The storm is expected to cause massive flooding and widespread power outages when it hits the East Coast, in full, late Sunday and into next week. But before that happens, transportation companies and government officials are allowing — and, in some cases, urging — people to plan for the worst.

This is Closer to Home

(CNN) — A tsunami warning for Hawaii, triggered by a powerful earthquake in Canada, proved nothing more than a pre-Halloween scare for thousands of people this weekend.

“The tourists are doing their best Chicken Little impressions,” one CNN iReporter in West Maui, Hawaii, wrote early Sunday.

Sirens announced the tsunami warning across Hawaii on Saturday night, as thousands of revelers packed streets in Honolulu for the annual Hallowbaloo festival and many others in costumes headed to Halloween parties.

Restaurants, clubs and the festival immediately shut down and the parties turned into bumper-to-bumper traffic jams as residents headed to higher ground.

Visions of the devastating quake and tsunami that killed thousands in Japan in March 2011 fueled the fright, but the waves proved to be smaller and less powerful than feared.

While the warning said waves could surge between 3 and 6 feet, the largest wave, measured in Kahului on the island of Maui, was about 2.5 feet above ambient sea level, according to Gerard Fryer, senior geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

The evacuation orders for coastal residents and the tsunami warning were canceled by 1 a.m. in Hawaii (7 a.m. ET) and a tsunami advisory was put in its place. That advisory was lifted three hours later.

Updated at 11:54 a.m. ET: A small earthquake rattled Southern California on Sunday morning, causing buildings to shake in downtown Los Angeles. There were no immediate reports of damage or injury.

The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 3.9 magnitude and struck at 8:24 a.m.,  the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was centered about 5 miles east-southeast of Santa Clarita, and about 24 miles north-northwest of downtown Los Angeles.

Shaking was felt across the Santa Clarita Valley, in downtown Los Angeles, in West Hollywood and along LA County beaches, The Associated Press reported.

A sheriff’s dispatcher in Santa Clarita told the AP  there were no calls reporting damage or injury.

Levels of radioactive contamination in fish caught off the east coast of Japan remain raised, official data shows.

It is a sign that the Dai-ichi power plant continues to be a source of pollution more than a year after the nuclear accident.

About 40% of fish caught close to Fukushima itself are regarded as unfit for humans under Japanese regulations.

The respected US marine chemist Ken Buesseler has reviewed the data in this week’s Science journal.

He says there are probably two sources of lingering contamination.

“There is the on-going leakage into the ocean of polluted ground water from under Fukushima, and there is the contamination that’s already in the sediments just offshore,” he told BBC News.

“It all points to this issue being long-term and one that will need monitoring for decades into the future.”

Big Earthquakes Make Baby Quakes – UP 800 Percent

Big Earthquakes Make Baby Quakes – UP 800 Percent

Posted on 27 September 2012 by Joshua

By Michael Knight

Scientists who study earthquakes (seismologists) have finally done enough modeling and analysis to prove that a big earthquake can trigger others elsewhere.

Shock-waves modeled from Sumatra M9.2 Earthquake

The M9.2 Sumatra (Bandah Aceh) earthquake of 2004 sent out Coulomb stress waves (red and blue in the image) that swept through the Andaman Sea, “where faults remarkably shut down for the next five years.”

BUT.…”….rift events – earthquakes that happen on a spreading center – increased by – an unprecedented – 800 per cent.”

What we have here therefore, is the first scientific evidence that comes close to explaining, at least in part, why the Pacific Ring of Fire has been so active in recent years. (For the moment, we’ll leave aside the proximity of that mysterious Planet X, and the influence of the sun and planets on such events).

Working forward from 2004, we come to April 12 of this year (2012) and a M8.6 earthquake in

57 earthquakes in six days before major event

114 Earthquakes in six days after main event

the East Indian Ocean.

In the six days before that earthquake, there were a total of 57 earthquakes reading M4.5 or greater, mostly around the Ring of Fire.

USGS Director Marcia McNutt: “A large, unusual event such as the East Indian earthquake last April is a once-in-a-century opportunity to uncover first order responses of the planet to sudden changes in state of stress that bring us a little closer to understanding the mystery of earthquake generation.”

What happened after that earthquake?

In the next six days, the number of M4.5 or greater earthquakes actually doubled – to 114 such events.

Now that it’s official that a big earthquake can trigger hundreds of additional earthquakes, isn’t it logical to expect this trend to continue – and to expect even bigger ones in future?

Why It Matters.

 

Christchurch, New Zealand, devastated by two big ‘quakes and hundreds of continuing aftershocks (foreshocks?).

 ”Incorporating the probability of aftershocks into the hazard assessment of an area is important because the damage of even a moderate aftershock sometimes exceeds that wrought by the main event.

For example, a M6.3 aftershock five months after the M7.1 New Zealand earthquake in 2010 hit a more populated area, causing 181 deaths and tripling the insured property damage of the main event.”

 

None of those who died, nor any of the survivors, would have expected the first earthquake – let alone the second killer ‘quake.

Nor would many of them have had the foresight to be prepared for the unexpected.

The USGS has a news release page here that gives you all the details.

Best wishes.

Global/Solar Weather Update

Posted on 14 September 2012 by michael

It may be balmy days of late summer for some of us, but there are many storms, floods and earthquakes going on right now, not to mention activity on the sun – plus a lineup  of planets which this video suggests could result in even more turmoil on Earth.

 

Check this out (a three-minute video wrap-up of all the above) – and ask yourself, should you be doing a little more, right now, to prepare for the inevitable fall and winter storms?

Fluoride For Portland

Fluoride For Portland

Posted on 13 September 2012 by michael

Despite thousands of people being opposed to it, Portland Oregon is going to have fluoridated water.

At l;east that’s the multi-million dollar plan as commissioners voted 5-0 this week to go ahead with fluoridation.

As KXL’s Chris Brown reports, “A large crowd booed and heckled council members as they explained their reason for the vote, and mayor Sam Adams ordered at least eight citizens be removed by security.

“It was the end to a debate that has raged for much of the last month, with fluoride advocates and opponents sparring in the media and on city sidewalks. The pro side believes adding fluoride will mean healthier teeth and lower health expenses, especially for the city’s poor and under-privileged. Those opposed call fluoride a poison that builds in the human body, responsible for any number of maladies, especially amongst children.

“Every commissioner said they’d received thousands of phone calls and e-mails from people on both sides of the issue, but all said they’d been convinced the health benefits outweigh the risks, and that cost gains from a healthier population will more than offset the expense of adding fluoride to the water.

“It’s unlikely this is the end of this debate. Between now and whenever the water bureau can begin pumping fluoride into the system, voters will likely attempt to gather enough signatures to put the issue on a ballot.”

That said,  – you might want to consider a Berkey water purification system with its add-on fluoride reduction filters.

The black Berkey filters  eliminate viruses and bacteria, heavy metals and chemicals, and you can greatly reduce fluoride as well with the add-on option.
