110 quakes in California within the last few hours!! 1-12-14
January 11, 2014
Oregon natives confirmed to Infowars Friday that strange anomalies have sprung up along the Pacific coast in what amounts to further testimony supporting the fact the media is suppressing both the surge in extremely high radiation readings along the West Coast and the subsequent die off of sea life in the area.
Several residents in the Charleston fishing village described suspicious anomalies such as disintegrating bioluminescent jellyfish and Japanese “tsunami debris” washing ashore, with one lifetime resident even telling us he saw about a hundred dead starfish near the Bastendorff Beach County Park.
Marine biologists had originally encountered “melting” starfish off the Washington state coast of Puget Sound, a mysterious illness scientists termed “sea star wasting disease.”
“It’s widespread, it’s very virulent and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen in the past,” marine ecologist Pete Raimondi said to USA Today about the massive starfish die-off.
Previously, Oregon was thought to be, for the most part, isolated from the illness. It had only been encountered “in a tide pool at Tokatee Klootchman State Natural Site, south of Yachats,” according to Rob Davis of The Oregonian.
Earlier this month, David Knight broke down the massive starfish die off:
However, a life long resident of Charleston, who did not want to appear on camera but told us he walked the beach there each day, said he had encountered the phenomenon just south of Bastendorff Beach County Park, suggesting the epidemic is far more widespread than previously speculated.
A representative at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in Charleston, who also did not want to appear on camera, also said he was aware of the sea star issue.
The highest reading we encountered during our time in Charleston was about 74 CPM off the shore of a marina. One albacore tuna in Charleston tested at 38 CPM, and another at 36 CPM, relatively low levels compared to the readings at Surfer’s Beach — levels that reveal the relative severity of radiation hot spots around the West Coast.
News that the inexplicable die off has reached the Oregon coastline follows reports of bizarre activity in the Pacific Ocean.
Last week, scientists in Northern Mexico’s Laguna Ojo de Liebre discovered “what appears to be the first ever documented case of conjoined gray whale calves,” reported StoryLeak’s Mikael Thalen.
“While conjoined twins have been found in several other whale species, a search of the database at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County by local scientists produced no records of conjoined gray whales,” Thalen reported.
Additionally, a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciencesfound 98 percent of the ocean floor is littered with dead sea life, a metric that has increased 97 percent in the last two years alone. “In the 24 years of this study, the past two years have been the biggest amounts of this detritus by far,” Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute marine biologistChristine Huffard told National Geographic last November.
Scientists and governments are reluctant to blame the anomalies on radioactive particles leaked into the ocean from the 2011Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear disaster, however, that this could possibly bethe cause has not yet been completely ruled out.
The fact that the federal government recently procured 14 million doses of potassium iodide, a compound meant to protect the thyroid gland in the event of a nuclear disaster, in addition to the fact they would not address the purchase during a phone call, has only stoked concerns that radiation is impacting the West Coast and contributing to the mass die off.
Witnesses we’ve spoken to from as far away as Alaska have mentioned witnessing Japanese tsunami debris wash ashore with visible Japanese writing, however our measurements indicate the radioactivity is concentrated along the West Coast of California. For instance, readings taken at beaches in Bean Hollow State Park and Salinas River State Beach read 100 CPM or higher, compared to readings taken on the Charleston, Oregon, beach which only gave maximum readings of 54 CPM.
We will continue to investigate radioactivity along California’s West Coast. Stay tuned for more.
Dying shortly after capture earlier this month, these conjoined gray whale calves are just two of the many sea creatures to die as Fukushima’s radiation plume hits the West Coast. Courtesy of Jesus Gomez

Precursor to collapse? Baltic Dry Index Collapses 35% - Worst Start To Year In 30 Years
When this indicator of global trade rises, everything is rosy and reams of asset-gatherers and talking-heads wil quote it as indicative of how great the world is. When it drops - silence. There's always an excuse - over- or under-capacity, too many ships, too few ships, etc. However, the last 2 weeks have seen a 35% collapse in the cost to ship bulk. There is a relative seasonal pattern over the holiday period - with shipping costs rising into the holiday and falling after but... this is the biggest drop from a Christmas Eve since at least 1984, 30 years! Seems like the inventory stacking of Q4 had absolutely no follow-through whatsoever...
All thepost-Thanksgiving exuberance has been eviscerated from the Baltic Dry Index...
and some context - this is the worst post-holiday start to the year since at least 1984!!

Earthquake near Cuba rattles Southwest Florida - quake rattles news station employees in Florida as well
A 5.1 earthquake off the northern coast of Cuba gave some Southwest Floridians a jolt Thursday afternoon.
Emergency dispatchers across the area began receiving reports of “buildings swaying” shortly before 4 p.m.
Preliminary Quake Information from USGS:
Location: 110 miles SE of Key West, Florida
Preliminary Magnitude: 5(Mwp)
Depth: 12.4 (Mi)
Lat: 23.3 ° N / Lon: 80.6 ° W
Origin Time: 1/9/2014 3:57:47 PM
According to the USGS, there is no tsunami danger.
Michael Heeder, Cape Coral Fire Department spokesman, said firefighters inspected buildings for damage at Tarpon Point and Cape Harbour as a precautionary measure, but found none.
The earthquake struck at a depth of six miles 17 miles north-northwest of Corralillo, Cuba – about 265 miles southeast of Fort Myers, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
A 5.1 earthquake is considered moderate and can cause damage of varying severity to poorly constructed buildings. Officials in Cuba were still working to determine the extent of damage there.
Audrey McGrath Fitzgerald said she felt the quake in the Cape. “I was sitting in my office chair; it started to sway. I thought I was going crazy!”
The USGS website showed at least five people in the Whiskey Creek area reported feeling the temblor. Other reports were coming in from as far north as Orlando.
Michael Brown was napping in his bed on the eighth floor of HealthPark Medical Center in south Fort Myers and woke up to his bed swaying.
“I was like ‘what?’ And I looked across and saw the blood pressure (machine) moving,” he said.
He said it wasn’t until he logged onto Facebook that he found out it was an earthquake.
“It was weird. I mean, you hear about earthquakes in California, but Florida doesn’t get earthquakes.”
Earthquakes are a rare occurrence in a state more accustomed to hurricanes. Several slight tremors hit South Florida in January 1942, from Miami throughout the Everglades and in Fort Myers, though the USGS says most authorities attribute those incidents to blasting.
The last known quake to strike Florida occurred in Quincy, northwest of Tallahassee, in 1952, rattling windows and doors.
The Key West Citizen reported Thursday’s tremors were felt on the island and at the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office headquarters on Stock Island just off Key West.
"I'm from Washington state so I've felt that before," said Deputy Becky Herrin, spokeswoman for the sheriff's office. "The building swayed is what I felt and many people in our building felt. We started getting phone calls from people asking, 'What was that?'"
There was never a tsunami threat from Thursday’s earthquake.
Former Naples resident Ellen Prager, who was assistant dean at the University of Miami's Rosenstielo School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, said it’s pretty unlikely Southwest Florida would experience a tsunami.
The area where the quake occurred is not on the right kind of fault, Prager said, and unless something occurred to displace water in the Gulf of Mexico, the threat of a tsunami is pretty low.
“If you have a deep earthquake (such as Thursday’s) and you’re not in a fault zone, you wouldn't have a tsunami,” she said.
One of the most seismically active locations in the Atlantic/Caribbean region is the Puerto Rico Trench, which has spawned numerous tsunamis throughout the years.
A major earthquake in the trench could cause a tsunami that might reach Florida and the East Coast of the United States.
Lending to the rarity of earthquakes in Florida is the fact it isn't on the edge of a tectonic plate. Prager said Florida is in a “passive setting in terms of tectonic movement, and that’s a good thing.”
"Hell is not real"... "All religions are true"...."Catholicism has undergone evolutionary changes" - Pope Francis
For the last six months, Catholic cardinals, bishops and theologians have been deliberating in Vatican City, discussing the future of the church and redefining long-held Catholic doctrines and dogmas. The Third Vatican Council, is undoubtedly the largest and most important since the Second Vatican Council was concluded in 1962. Pope Francis convened the new council to “finally finish the work of the Second Vatican Council.” While some traditionalists and conservative reactionaries on the far right have decried these efforts, they have delighted progressives around the world.
The Third Vatican Council concluded today with Pope Francis announcing that Catholicism is now a “modern and reasonable religion, which has undergone evolutionary changes. The time has come to abandon all intolerance. We must recognize that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone. Even atheists acknowledge the divine. Through acts of love and charity the atheist acknowledges God as well, and redeems his own soul, becoming an active participant in the redemption of humanity.”
“Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God” Pope Francis declared.
In a speech that shocked many, the Pope claimed “All religions are true, because they are true in the hearts of all those who believe in them. What other kind of truth is there? In the past, the church has been harsh on those it deemed morally wrong or sinful. Today, we no longer judge. Like a loving father, we never condemn our children. Our church is big enough for heterosexuals and homosexuals, for the pro-life and the pro-choice! For conservatives and liberals, even communists are welcome and have joined us. We all love and worship the same God.”
One statement in the Pope’s speech has sent traditionalists into a fit of confusion and hysteria. “God is changing and evolving as we are, For God lives in us and in our hearts. When we spread love and kindness in the world, we touch our own divinity and recognize it. The Bible is a beautiful holy book, but like all great and ancient works, some passages are outdated. Some even call for intolerance or judgement. The time has come to see these verses as later interpolations, contrary to the message of love and truth, which otherwise radiates through scripture. In accordance with our new understanding, we will begin to ordain women as cardinals, bishops and priests. In the future, it is my hope that we will have a woman pope one day. Let no door be closed to women that is open to men!”
In addition to the Pope’s sweeping calls for tolerance and a new progressive understanding of Catholicism, he condemned racism, raising his voice and pounding the podium in front of him. Pope Francis spent over an hour castigating anti-immigrant politicians, parties and individuals. Wagging his finger sternly with righteous indignation, the Pope shouted “Racism today is the ultimate evil in the world. When Italians, Spanish or French turn back the boats of African migrants seeking a better life, are they not like the inn keeper who told Mary and Joseph that there was no room for them and the infant Christ? These migrants are children of God and we are commanded to love them!”
His voice loudly echoing through St. Peter’s basilica, the Pope stated “those who would dare to turn immigrants away, be they legal or undocumented, turn their backs on Christ himself! A racist is not a true Christian. A racist casts aside his humanity to become a beast, a demon! He is the embodiment and personification of evil, a Satan!”
To a chorus of thunderous applause, Pope Francis stated “because Muslims, Hindus and African Animists are also made in the very likeness and image of God, to hate them is to hate God! To reject them to is to reject God and the Gospel of Christ. Whether we worship at a church, a synagogue, a mosque or a mandir, it does not matter. Whether we call God, Jesus, Adonai, Allah or Krishna, we all worship the same God of love. This truth is self-evident to all who have love and humility in their hearts!”
In a announcement that shocked many people, Pope Francis warned that “those who seek to deny a home to the migrant, to the African and the Muslim, risk their membership in the church. We will consider excommunication for those whose souls willingly dwell in the darkness and evil of intolerance and racism. Satan himself is a metaphor or a personification, for the collective evils of mankind. Today, these evils manifest foremost as racism, intolerance, religious persecution and bigotries of all kinds.”
A couple of prominent Catholic cardinals have responded to Pope Francis’ declarations by leaving the church. Cardinal Arinze of Nigeria asked, “what do we stand for if we declare that truth is relative? On the contrary, truth exists independently of our personal feelings. All of this talk of love and tolerance is hollow if we have no identity of our own, if we stand for nothing. I charge that Francis has become a heretic, and that he is not a valid Pope. Indeed, Francis is no longer even a Catholic. The seat of Saint Peter is vacant. I am now a Sedevacantist. I should have become one long ago. The Vatican has embraced ecumenism in the past, but worse than that, it has now embraced moral relativism on abortion and homosexuality. At the same time it is embracing moral absolutism in favour of illegal immigration and cultural genocide against Europe.”
In his most controversial statement, Cardinal Arinze said “Islam has overrun my own country, and now it threatens to overrun Europe. Some parts of Nigeria now live under Islamic Sharia law. Catholics there are no longer free to practice their faith publicly. Francis is a fool if he thinks that his liberal immigration policy will end well. He has betrayed western civilization. Vatican City will one day become a giant mosque if things continue in Europe along their present course. Those in the West who ignore this truth, do so at their own peril.”
In an angry and vitriolic rant revealing deep self-hating tendencies, the African Cardinal Arinze stated “There is nothing wrong with Europeans who want to protect their borders. The problem is that there is not enough border control and the immigration policies are far too lenient in Europe. Is it racist to desire to preserve one’s own home? Why is it racist to want to preserve your own culture and a future for your people and your children? Have white people gone stupid today?”
This much is clear, the Catholic Church has made a decision to rejoin humanity and to reject intolerance and extremism. The church has lost a few narrow-minded bigots, with reports of some small parishes and a few cardinals and bishops defecting, but Pope Francis has gained the friendship of the world. Pope Francis deserves praise for taking a humane stand in defense of human rights and against bigotry.

Thousands Flock to Clean-Up Radioactive Beaches
Tsunami debris began hitting the West Coast back in 2011 but according to the California Commission, “researchers believe that the first large waves of tsunami debris began hitting the California shores in Winter and Spring of 2013,” with subsequent waves expected to continue to hit the shores.
- Adopt-A-Beach®
- COASTWEEKS
- WHALE TAIL® License Plate,
- Tsunami Debris Cleanup Project
- Northcoast Environmental Center
- Surfrider Foundation
- Coastwalk California
- Pacifica Beach Coalition
- Save Our Shores
- ECOSLO
- Heal the Bay
- Orange County Coastkeeper
- I Love A Clean San Diego
These volunteers have cleaned up millions of pounds of debris from California’s coastline in the last three years since the Japanese Tsunami. This work was accomplished in everyday clothing with bucket in hand. None of the citizens were provided protective gear just in case debris turned out to be radioactive.
Beach Babes for Clean Up Days
Japanese Tsunami beach clean up days are being highly advertised to encourage more people to collect Japanese debris. Organizers already have the 2014 calendar up and are scheduling beach clean up days.
Radioactive Debris?
Volunteers are told it is “unlikely” debris washing up in California will be radioactive. They are also told that testing is being done which shows “no elevated levels of radioactivity”. They are reassured that California Emergency Management has “qualified emergency responders ready to help” if volunteers come across anything dangerous. By that time it will be too late to safe-guard their health.
SECURED Liability Waiver
Cleaning up beaches involves “certain inherent risks” including environmental conditions.
”This instrument exempts and releases “all parties” defined from all liability or responsibility whatsoever for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death, however caused, including negligence of the released parties, whether passive or active”. The release includes any lawsuit or claim for themselves, their family, estate, heirs, or assigns.”
Should they become injured while participating in the Event they “authorize any physician or surgeon in the State of California to perform emergency or surgical treatment”.
This release clearly states that the organizer and partner agencies are held harmless, including wrongful death due to active negligence! That would include failing to notify participants that they were being exposed to radiation.
Lest you think this program is isolated to California, it is not. All Pacific Ocean coastal states, including British Columbia, have instituted the coastal clean-up program.
