THIS IS AMERICA - Video appears to show a family taking shelter in the sewer through a manhole cover after a false alert of an inbound ballistic missile sparked panic in Hawaii on Saturday morning

  • You wouldn't know it from watching CNN and other media ongoing controversy over whether Trump said "shithole" or "shithouse" when referring to dysfunctional nations in Africa (the utterance of those words denied by Trump and other Republicans present at the meeting).
  • The media seem oblivious to the irony that the great USA itself cannot protect its citizens from nuclear fallout - or even have a decent system to warn citizens of an incoming attack, or to dismiss false alerts.  
  • In addition, American infrastructure is crumbling, and military veterans languish waiting for proper health care and housing, and end up committing suicide in the hundreds.  The country has a large homeless population.  Thousands of Americans of all ages are dying from opioid overdoses without a national plan to help them.  
  • Chicago's inner city is like a third world enclave, with rampant violent crime and the highest murder rate in the nation - almost all of it black-on-black violence.   Chicago, Illinois, is controlled by Democrat politicians who blame all minority shortcomings on white racism.
 
  • Trump promised to take care of America first, but Congress and leftist activist judges continuously anguish over the feelings and welfare of other nations, while sabotaging the agenda Trump was elected to implement. 
  • Then there is the ongoing threat of an EMP attack (electromagnetic pulse) that could occur as a result of a giant solar flare directed towards North America, or a nuclear bomb detonated in the atmosphere. 
  • Either way the electric grid and all electronics would be fried and the USA would turn within hours and days into a place of scarcity, savagery, and millions of casualties from violence and starvation.  Remember how during the Texas hurricane floods there were heroes saving lives, but there were also mobs looting homes and stores.   
  • Our entire lives now depend on computers, and once they are permanently out of commission there can be no transportation, no distribution of food, no hospital technology, no communication systems at all, other than smoke signals....
  • It would take years to rebuild the electric grid. But, believe it or not, Congress so far has refused to deal with this threat.   (See link to EMP related article on this page.) 
  • Congress and previous presidents have been more interested in sending trillions of taxpayers' money to Afghanistan, Palestinian terrorists, and other dysfunctional and violent nations all over the world.  
  • More than a trillion dollars have been wasted in Afghanistan alone, much of it mysteriously vanished due to Afghan and US contractors' corruption.  
  • Natural disasters wreaked havoc in 2017, showing how vulnerable we all are.    The following report on the Hawaii scare shows how unprepared we are for emergencies.  

Hawaii's 38-minutes of terror: How islanders were gripped by panic as phones and TV stations broadcast a false missile warning telling them to urgently seek shelter
 
  • Alert warned people of a missile heading towards Hawaii Saturday morning
  • Took 38 minutes for a second alert to be sent out explaining it was a false alarm
  • Families huddled together crying and praying while waiting for the missile to hit
  • Some people placed their children in storm drains, others messaged loved ones
  • 'I was sitting in the bathtub with my children, saying our prayers,' one said 
  • Local police were aware that a missile attack warning for Hawaii was false only five minutes after it was sent, but it took a full 38 minutes for authorities to correct the inaccurate information.  One police supervisor advised to continue evacuations until official channels reported back that the alert was an accidental release.

AN EMP WOULD KILL NINE IN TEN AMERICANS says Congressional report - The USA is unprepared for an ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE EVENT (EMP) caused by an atmospheric NUKE or a giant SOLAR FLARE that would fry all electronics, starve people, and bring the USA down to the Stone Age - NORTH KOREA and IRAN would be among likely suspects

  • Imagine you wake up one day without electric power.  None of your electronic devices works either.  You sense something is wrong, get dressed and head for your car to drive to the grocery store and stock up on essentials.  Your car, equipped as it is with electronic parts, won't start. 
  • You're lucky enough to live within walking distance of a grocery store.  Once you get there it's total mayhem, people are trampling over each other to grab whatever they can.  No way to call police.  You walk back home wondering what is going on. 
  • The days that follow are of pure savagery, with the country technically and culturally back in the Stone Age.  Bands of armed thugs loot stalled trucks containing food items, and roam cities stealing food and everything they can.  They kill whoever gets in their way. 
  • The sick, unable to get medical aid, would begin to die.  Non-nursing babies would starve without formula.   
  • Highways would be clogged with stalled vehicles.  Computers, phones, TVs, and radios would all be useless. 
  • Remember, there is no transportation, no distribution of food or medicine, no clean water, no working electronics, and no power to run any of the machines we count on to maintain civilization.  And no police presence.    
  • Along with social chaos, there is starvation.  Urban survivors not part of gangs of thugs would be reduced to eating their pets and wildlife.  Farmers would be unable to defend themselves against bands of thieves. 
  • Good citizens with guns would fare better than those without them, but only temporarily.  Resources would eventually dwindle to nothing.  Unless you are one of those preppers who have thought of everything and are well stocked, well armed, and well hidden and protected, your chances of survival are zilch.   And this is the prospect for 90% of people living in the USA.
  • Whether this EMP scenario is caused by a bomb detonated in the atmosphere by a foreign government or a fanatic, or by a giant solar flare directed at us, it does not matter.  An EMP catastrophe is not a matter of if, but of WHEN.  
  • Congress has been remiss in addressing this issue and providing funds to fortify the US electrical grid.  As it stands now, there are not enough spare parts in America, and they would have to be imported.  It would take many months to reconstruct the grid, but first social order would have to be restored and the mess cleaned up. 
  • Maybe coastal areas would start the rebirth, as they could more easily access supplies from overseas.  Maybe. 
  • A disturbing question is WHO would be in charge of the country's reconstruction.  It's not inconceivable that it would be a foreign power.  China - desperate as it is for land and resources - would perhaps come to the rescue, at a high price.    
  • So, dear American reader, when your President and Congressmen waste their time talking about marginal issues, ask them what exactly they are doing to  prepare the nation for an EMP catastrophe. 
  • The Obama administration and the Democrats have said that the worst threat to the USA - besides Trump - is CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!
  • The Climate Change campaign has been a ruse to divert attention away from real threats such as EMPs, nuclear power plants (NPPs), and overpopulation devouring ever shrinking natural resources while polluting the planet. 
  • Please keep in mind that without electrical power to operate their machines, nuclear power plants go into meltdown.  After an EMP there would be a series of nuclear power plant meltdowns across the USA contaminating land and killing people.  At present a single case of loss of electrical  power in an NPP can be dealt with, but not when the country is in complete chaos.  
  • The Trump administration appears not to have effective preparations for a solar-caused or man-made EMP that would  destroy the American civilization and kill 90% of the US population.  
  • ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING TO KEEP IN MIND is that the number one priority for government authorities at all levels - before, during, and after a disaster - is to avoid panic, and this is why an EMP catastrophe is almost never mentioned. 
  • This blog recently reported how Californian authorities decided not to warn residents of looming wild fires because they did not want to cause panic on the roads.  As a result dozens of people woke up as flames engulfed their property and they perished.  Read more on this failure to protect citizens HERE
 CONGRESSIONAL REPORT:  An EMP Attack Would Cause Mass U.S. Starvation and kill 9 in 10 Americans
 
By Bruce Dorminey, Forbes Magazine

A new congressional report contends that a North Korean electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on the U.S. would ultimately wipe out 90% of the population.

INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT HAS 65,000 % SPIKE IN RADIOACTIVE LEAK INTO GROUNDWATER USED FOR DRINKING BY MILLIONS OF NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS

  • The threat of nuclear power plants has been mostly hidden from us by a very effective nuclear industry propaganda machine. 
  • They have told us that they are "clean energy," without mentioning that to this day there is no safe way to store or dispose of nuclear waste, which keeps accumulating in dangerous amounts. 
  • They don't tell us that the life of a nuclear power plant is relatively short (just a few decades), and that the cost of decommissioning them is extremely high, and the process definitely not "clean".
  • And they don't tell us of the many close calls that NPPs suffer each year, threatening the lives of millions of people.
  • A natural disaster or a terror attack, such an EMP event (caused by a giant solar flare or a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere) would fry the electric grid, unleashing the meltdown of nuclear power plants which need electricity to run.
 
New York State Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant still leaking dangerous amounts of radioactive material into groundwater used as drinking water by millions of New York State residents
 
Who needs terrorists, when our worst enemy is our own ineptitude.
 
Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant on the Hudson river © wikipedia.org
An uncontrollable flow from the Indian Point nuclear power plant - 25 miles from New York City - continues to leak into groundwater, which leads to the Hudson River, the drinking water source for millions of people in the area. 
 
RT reports - Health and environment commissioners were ordered by Governor Andrew Cuomo to begin an investigation into the leak of “radioactive tritium-contaminated water” at the Indian Point nuclear power plant after the operator, Entergy Nuclear Operations, raised the alarm.
 
One of the three wells in question, according to Cuomo’s statement, had “radioactivity increasing nearly 65,000 percent,” while in total the company reported “alarming levels of radioactivity” at three monitoring wells.

The following article by the Daily Mail, like most mainstream media, plays down the catastrophic consequences of the Fukushima disaster.
 
In fact, this disaster is nothing less than a global ecocide, with its ongoing and indefinite spewing of highly contaminated radioactive waste into the Pacific Ocean.  
 
Please see references for media dedicated to reporting Fukushima effects on plant workers, Japan children, and the environment at the end of this page.
 
 
Inside Fukushima's ground zero:
First robot sent inside melted reactor at tsunami-hit plant
dies after just three hours -
but not before sending back chilling pictures
 
  • Fukushima Nuclear Power plant went into meltdown in the 2011 disaster
  • Three reactors blew up after tsunami causing 300,000 to be evacuated
  • A robot was sent into one of the nuclear reactors to inspect melted fuel
  • But it stalled within three hours of the mission and has to be abandoned

  • The photographs were captured as part of the robot's mission to inspect melted fuel in one of the reactors 

    The first robot to be sent into the radioactive reactor of Fukushima nuclear power plant has stalled just three hours into its mission.

    THE PERFECT RADIOACTIVE STORM

    The perfect radioactive storm - those are words used by the Washington governor to highlight how the federal government is threatening to impose cuts at the same time as a storage tank at the Hanford nuclear storage facility is leaking radioactive waste.  

    An editorial on the Daily Astorian explains:

    There are 149 single-wall tanks at Hanford, plus 28 newer tanks with double walls. They contain residue from decades of refining plutonium for nuclear weapons, sludge that will remain deadly to living creatures for many thousands of years. 

    Costly design flaws have delayed completion of a facility to convert this waste into stable glass-like rods. Now, political malpractice on the part of Congress could easily extend these delays.  “We’re out of time, obviously. These tanks are starting to fail now,” said Tom Carpenter of the Hanford watchdog group Hanford Challenge. “We’ve got a problem. This is big.”

    Hat tip to ENENEWS
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The ugly truth about nuclear reactors is consistently avoided by the mainstream media.

    Misrepresented as a "clean alternative" to fossil fuels, the nuclear industry has no plans to truly safely dispose of its large amounts of toxic waste.  The most they can do is hide it, which does not really protect humankind from its inherent danger.
     
    They have no effective way of dealing with decommissioned plants, and no realistic plans for appropriate response in case of a catastrophic electromagnetic pulse - EMP  event - over a large part of the United States, or of a major earthquake centered at, or near, a nuclear plant. We have already watched government incompetence in the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Sandy.
