Media Ignorance & Potential Destruction - Re: Previous Post

6/23/2012

1 Comment

 
Picture
Regardless of whether you agree, disagree or were brought to your knees laughing with tears streaming down your face, after reading our previous post... the potential destruction and loss of lives - however it is caused - should be something the media addresses instead of the latest Hollywood scandels that make headline news.

The Director of Tennessee's County Office of Preparedness Bob Nations, Jr., believes that they would be quickly overwhelmed by an earthquake along the New Madrid Fault Zone.

"A USGS report predicts that a major quake would create horrific scenes like something out of a science fiction movie, potentially cutting the Eastern part of the country off from the West in terms of vehicular traffic and road commerce. The older highways and railroad bridges that cross the Mississippi River, as well as older overpasses, would likely be damaged or collapse in the event of a major New Madrid earthquake."

Where will most of the damage be?

When THE New Madrid earthquake (in the 8.0 to 9.0 magnitude range or above) occurs, it will devastate vast areas of the United States and Canada.
  • The New Madrid fault line follows the Mississippi River from Illinois to Arkansas, crossing five state lines – Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee – as well as the Mississippi River in at least three places.
  • The New Madrid seismic zone consists of a series of faults, including fault lines that run up toward the Great Lakes and from the center of the Gulf of Mexico up the East Coast.
Like dominos falling in a row, the coming New Madrid earthquake will set disastrous events in motion. The stress on the North American continent will release by ripping the St. Lawrence Seaway open and tearing apart most of the bridges on the Mississippi River.

Warnings are given regularly
  • Earthquakes of increasing intensity
  • Earthquake swarms increasing in number
  • Sinkholes, shifting roadways, exploding manhole covers, gas explosions, and water main breaks are occurring from Pennsylvania to Tennessee and other areas, as well
  • FEMA gearing up with earthquake drills and more for the disaster they know is coming
Nuclear power plants in this zone?

What size earthquakes can nuclear power plants withstand? There’s no simple answer to that question.

There are 15 nuclear power plants in the New Madrid fault zone, with three of the reactors in Alabama of the same or similar design as the nuclear plant in Fukushima Japan that experienced major problems after a major quake.

How prepared each nuclear plant is for an earthquake, is pretty much what the operators say it is. Jim Norvelle, spokesman of Dominion Virginia Power, says its two reactors were built to withstand ground motion of 0.12 to 0.18 g, which according to Norvelle only translates into magnitudes of 5.9 to 6.2.

Clues that a major quake on the New Madrid approaches

  • Repeated blackouts at the Niagara Power Station along the St. Lawrence Seaway
  • Quake swarms near Cleveland, Ohio, pointing to a separating Seaway.
  • Quakes in the Gulf of Mexico at a previously unknown fault
  • Quakes in Maine with water levels falling hard or land rising.
  • Methane fields off the coast of Maine releasing large amounts of gas, disrupting the ocean floor and creating massive bubbles
The New Madrid disaster looms. Cities from Houston to St. Louis to Kansas City to Memphis to Cincinnati to Chicago and places in between will be affected. Thousands if not millions of people will suddenly find themselves homeless.

Using the Hurricane Katrina disaster as a guide, be assured that that rescue will not be rapidly forthcoming, if at all.

Self-sufficiency – not government handouts or camps – is the name of the game, and absolutely the key to survival. Get ready. Be prepared.

The loss of life and destruction in recent earthquakes of only moderate magnitude (for example, 33 lives and $20 billion in the 1994 magnitude-6.7 Northridge, California earthquake and 5,500 lives and $100 billion in the 1995 magnitude-6.9 Kobe, Japan earthquake) dramatically emphasize the need for residents of the New Madrid Seismic Zone to prepare further for an earthquake of such magnitude. Earthquakes of moderate magnitude occur much more frequently than powerful earthquakes of magnitude 7 to 8, and the probability of a moderate earthquake occurring in the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the near future is high. Scientists estimate that the probability of a magnitude 6.0 or larger earthquake occurring in this seismic zone within any 50 year period is 25% to 40%. Such an earthquake could hit the Mississippi Valley at any time. Sunday, June 17, 2012 Earthquake Details (from usgs.gov)

Event ID nm061712a

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/nm061712a.php     There is broad agreement in the scientific community that a continuing concern exists for a major destructive earthquake in the New Madrid seismic zone. Many structures in Memphis, Tenn., St. Louis, Mo., and other communities in the central Mississippi River Valley region are vulnerable and at risk from severe ground shaking. This assessment is based on decades of research on New Madrid earthquakes and related phenomena by dozens of Federal, university, State, and consulting earth scientists. Considerable interest has developed recently from media reports that the New Madrid seismic zone may be shutting down. These reports stem from published research using global positioning system (GPS) instruments with results of geodetic measurements of strain in the Earth’s crust. Because of a lack of measurable strain at the surface in some areas of the seismic zone over the past 14 years, arguments have been advanced that there is no buildup of stress at depth within the New Madrid seismic zone and that the zone may no longer pose a significant hazard. As part of the consensus-building process used to develop the national seismic hazard maps, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) convened a workshop of experts in 2006 to evaluate the latest findings in earthquake hazards in the Eastern United States. These experts considered the GPS data from New Madrid available at that time that also showed little to no ground movement at the surface. The experts did not find the GPS data to be a convincing reason to lower the assessment of earthquake hazard in the New Madrid region, especially in light of the many other types of data that are used to construct the hazard assessment, several of which are described here.

Why is the Media Covering this Up?

6/21/2012

From Mark Rosenblum via DHS:  In case you were not aware, it was revealed today that the massive explosion that occurred in Michigan on June 6, 2012 was a terrorist attack that involved the use of a nuclear weapon. The widely felt explosion on the Michigan Indiana border caused extremely high radiation readings in many different locations. The explosion was an underground nuclear attack against the New Madrid Fault. It has also been revealed that the many smaller explosions reported on and around the 6th and 7th, were attacks with scaler weapons. Scaler weapons use electromagnetic waves to induce earthquakes. Tectonic plate weapons have been around for awhile and they have been highly perfected by the Soviets.

It can now be reported that the attacks were carried out by Russian Special Forces who were brought into the USA under the guise of joint training exercises. Warnings that more attacks on the fault are coming and that additional attacks are also planned for nuclear power plants, dams, and bridges.

Nuclear Cover-Up: Explosions, Military Helicopters Filmed Near Blacked Out Radiation Zone

June 8, 2012

Eyewitnesses on the ground near the media-blacked-out elevated radiation zone near the border of Indiana and Michigan, where radiation levels hundreds of times higher than normal were quickly removed from public viewing by the EPA, are now sending in a large number of photos and videos documenting massive explosions accompanied by unmarked helicopters, A-10 Thunderbolts, and military personnel. These reports come after a Department of Homeland Security hazmat fleet was sent out to the location after ‘years’ of inactivity.

Those on the ground report that the explosions are ‘loud and deep’, sounding like fireworks with a kick. The explosions are oftentimes followed up with a squadron of helicopters or other aircraft, oftentimes black and unmarked. One Michigan resident reports the following, and is then backed by dozens of organic comments which confirm the findings:

“EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE! Also, Large helicopter heading away from Local Air Force base flying toward scene of explosions! These explosions are seriously consistant, loud booms for the last hour or more.”

After generating much interest, the poster was able to capture some of the explosions on tape. While he would be the first to do so, many more videos began to pop up recording both the explosions and the onset of military aircraft flying through the area into the radiation zone. You can view the video below and hear the explosions for yourself:

Further comments went on to document the increased presence of unmarked choppers and strategic military aircraft. A number of photos have begun to surface from eyewitnesses in the tri-state area of the event, reporting that the helicopters and other crafts were traveling towards the center of the incident. Some pictures are shown below:







Thousands of comments on articles, discussion boards, and twitter posts are surfacing regarding this event. Explosions are still reportedly being heard in rapid secession, often a large number over the course of only a few seconds.

June is National Drive Safe Month

6/20/2012

June is national drive safe month and millions and millions of people a year are killed or injured in motor vehicle accidents. Most motor vehicle accidents can be prevented by taking small but important safety measures.
Some safety measures you should think about are:
1. If you have a child, they need to be in a car seat in the back seat of your vehicle. Most car seats are not installed properly so go down to your local police station and ask for a car seat safety check. 2. Wear a seat-belt, it is so easy and can prevent many injures, yet millions of people do not wear a seat-belt.

3. Do NOT drive if you are tired, under the influence of alcohol or taking medications that specifically say, "Do not operate heavy equipment."

4. Leave space between your vehicle and the one in front of you. Riding someone's bumper is dangerous because if someone hits you from behind or the person in front of you breaks quickly you are asking for trouble.

5. There are traffic lights for a reason, follow them. Running traffic lights not only put you in danger but the others around you as well.

6. Keep your headlights on at all times, having your headlights on is important because cars can see your car better.

7. Follow the speed limit, I know this is hard but there is a limit for a reason. Millions of accidents are speed related.

8. Use your directional, not letting fellow drivers where you are about to go is dangerous.

9. Make sure you are only driving, not talking on the phone, balancing your checkbook, putting on make-up, etc...

10. Pay attention to road conditions, if they are bad-don't drive.

11. Make sure you are well rested, many accidents are caused because people fall asleep behind the wheel.

12. Use your mirrors; they are there to help you navigate.

13. Traffic signs are very important but people don't always follow them. If the sign says no u-turn, do not do one!

14. Make sure you know where you are going. Often drivers who are going somewhere new are trying to read a map and drive at the same time. When you are driving, that is all you should be concentrating on.

15. Street racing is a huge no no! If you want to race go to a race track, it is not fair to endanger other drives because you want to race.

16. Use your manners when driving, aggressive drivers are more likely to be in or cause an accident.

17. Make sure you can see when driving, if you need glasses to drive-then use them. Please no sunglasses on in the evening; looking cool is not worth endangering someone else's life.

18. Most important take your time and pay attention to the road. Vehicles are thousands and thousands of pounds and are capable of causing large amounts of damage.
