16 Apocalyptic Quotes From Global Health Officials About This Horrific Ebola Epidemic

#1 Dr. Tom Frieden, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: "It is the world’s first Ebola epidemic, and it’s spiraling out of control. It’s bad now, and it’s going to get worse in the very near future. There is still a window of opportunity to tamp it down, but that window is closing. We really have to act now."
#2 Dr. Joanne Liu, the international president of Doctors Without Borders: "Riots are breaking out. Isolation centres are overwhelmed. Health workers on the frontline are becoming infected and are dying in shocking numbers."
#3 David Nabarro, senior United Nations system coordinator for Ebola disease: "This outbreak is moving ahead of efforts to control it."
#4 Dr. Bruce Aylward, WHO's assistant director-general for emergency operations: "This far outstrips any historic Ebola outbreak in numbers. The largest outbreak in the past was about 400 cases."
#5 Margaret Chan, the head of the World Health Organization: "...we hope to stop the transmission in six to nine months".
#6 Dr. Daniel Bausch, associate professor in the department of Tropical Medicine at Tulane University: "You have a very dangerous virus in three of the countries in the world that are least equipped to deal with it. The scale of this outbreak has just outstripped the resources. That’s why it’s become so big."
#7 Gayle Smith, senior director at the National Security Council: "This is not an African disease. This is a virus that is a threat to all humanity."
#8 Dr. Tom Frieden, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: "The level of outbreak is beyond anything we’ve seen—or even imagined."
#9 Vincent Martin, head of an FAO unit in Dakar:  "This is different than every other Ebola situation we've ever had. It's spreading widely, throughout entire countries, through multiple countries, in cities and very fast."
#10 Dr. Richard Besser, health and medical editor for ABC News: "Emergency rooms are closed, many hospital wards are as well leaving people who are sick with heart disease, trauma, pregnancy complications, pneumonia, malaria and all the everyday health emergencies with nowhere to go."
#11 Bukar Tijani, the UN Food and Agricultural Organization regional representative for Africa: "Access to food has become a pressing concern for many people in the three affected countries and their neighbours."
#12 Keiji Fukuda, the WHO's assistant director-general for health security: "People are hungry in these communities. They don't know how they are going to get food."
#13 Dr. Daniel Bausch, associate professor in the department of Tropical Medicine at Tulane University: "This is for sure the worst situation I've ever seen."
#14 Dr. Tom Frieden, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: "I could not possibly overstate the need for an urgent response."
#15 Official WHO statement: "Staff at the outbreak sites see evidence that the numbers of reported cases and deaths vastly underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak."
#16 Dr. Joanne Liu, the international president of Doctors Without Borders: "It is impossible to keep up with the sheer number of infected people pouring into facilities. In Sierra Leone, infectious bodies are rotting in the streets."

The UN’s New Report on Global Warming Is the Most Terrifying Yet

Runaway growth on the emission of greenhouse gases is swamping all political efforts to deal with the problem, raising the risk of “severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts” over the coming decades, according to a draft of a major new United Nations report.
Global warming is already cutting grain production by several percentage points, the report found, and that could grow much worse if emissions continue unchecked. Higher seas, devastating heat waves, torrential rain and other climate extremes are also being felt around the world as a result of human emissions, the draft report said, and those problems are likely to intensify unless the gases are brought under control.
The world may already be nearing a temperature at which the loss of the vast ice sheet covering Greenland would become inevitable, the report said. The actual melting would then take centuries, but it would be unstoppable and could result in a sea level rise of 23 feet, with additional increases from other sources like melting Antarctic ice, potentially flooding the world’s major cities.

Here we go Apocalyptoids. Sleep Well...

Cruisers, aircraft carriers and minesweepers from 25 nations are converging on the strategically important Strait of Hormuz in an unprecedented show of force as Israel and Iran move towards the brink of war. Western leaders are convinced that Iran will retaliate to any attack by attempting to mine or blockade the shipping lane through which passes around 18 million barrels of oil every day, approximately 35 per cent of the world’s oil traded by sea. A blockade would have a catastrophic effect on the fragile economies of Britain, Europe the United States and Japan, all of which rely heavily on oil and gas supplies from the Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most congested international waterways. It is only 21 miles wide at its narrowest point and is bordered by the Iranian coast to the north and the Oman to the south. In preparation for any pre-emptive or retaliatory action by Iran, warships from more than 25 countries, including the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, will today begin an annual 12-day exercise.

Frightening Ebola Outbreak In Uganda. Kenya Now Affected.

The deadly Ebola virus has killed people in western Uganda. Detailed laboratory investigations conducted at the Uganda Virus institute confirmed the disease to be Ebola Hemorrhagic fever, Sudan strain. World Health Organization experts say three samples taken from the dead revealed Ebola to be present in their biological specimen. The index case according to WHO officials belongs to a family in western Uganda where nine other members of the family also succumbed to death with four other people including a clinical officer. SLEEP WELL APOCALYPTOIDS.....

It's Almost Here...

You feel it don't you? Something is wrong. Something is dreadfully wrong with our neighbors, our children, ourselves. Is there an institution left with any honor? Banks are corrupt, run by criminals in expensive suits. Politicians are nearly all owned by said banks and other wealthy special interest. Police are only too happy to beat, taser or shoot for the tiniest infractions it seems. The water is toxic, the air is foul, chemicals in the food. Who you gonna vote for in the upcoming election? Don't make me laugh. The lesser of two evils is still evil, the devil you know is still the devil. Something wicked this way comes.... Unlike some folks I doubt now if there is any way to stop it. Sleep well Apocalyptoids while you still have a full belly, four walls and a roof.

What The Hell Is Going On?!!!!

In the past 72 hours or so we have seen in the news the Miami Zombie attack, a man in Ohio charges with chewing the face off a live kitten, a New Jersey man skinning himself alive and then throwing his own intestines at police, and now a Canadian case where a psychopath has killed and dismembered a person on camera and mailed some of the body parts to the major political parties in the capital. Google the stories, they are horrific. Is this really the end times? This blog has always had a (mostly) tongue in cheek approach to the idea that we are living in the end-times but this lunacy is really making me wonder if there is not some larger evil at work in the world. Seriously, what's going on? Don't comment below if you are going to say "it's the drugs" I don't want to hear anymore bullshit excuses about bath salts. I don't want to hear any excuses about the internet being the cause of this mania. Listen to me carefully there is something lurking at the edges of our society, maybe I should say there WAS something lurking, now it is some kind of full blown infestation. I will ruminate on the developments over the next 24 hours and be back with a more thorough examination of the situation. Sleep well (with the lights on) Apocalyptoids.

This man will never be forgotten if I have anything to say about it.


On this day in 1983, Soviet military officer Stanislav Petrov single-handedly averted a worldwide nuclear war when he chose to believe his intuition instead of the computer screen in front of him which indicated the US had launched a nuclear missile attack against the Soviet Union... (This remarkable incident proves one man can make a difference...for the whole world!)
Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov was the officer on duty at the Serpukhov-15 bunker near Moscow on September 26, 1983, a time when the Cold War was at a peak. Just three and a half weeks prior, the Soviets had shot down Korean Air Flight 007, killing all 269 people on board the Boeing 747. It was Lt. Col. Petrov's responsibility to observe the satellite early warning network and notify his superiors of any impending nuclear missile attack against the USSR. In the event of such an attack, the Soviet Union's strategy was to launch an immediate all-out nuclear counter-attack against the United States, as the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction required.
Just past midnight, at 00:40 hrs, the bunker's computers indicated that an American missile was heading toward the Soviet Union. Lt. Col. Petrov reasoned that a computer error had occurred, since the United States was not likely to launch just one missile if it were attacking the Soviet Union -- it would launch many simultaneously. Also, the satellite system's reliability had in the past been questioned, so he dismissed the warning as a false alarm, concluding that no missile had actually been launched by the United States.

However, a short time later the computers indicated that a second missile had been launched, followed by a third, a fourth and a fifth. Petrov still felt that the computer system was wrong, but there was no other source of information with which to confirm his suspicions. The Soviet Union's land radar was not capable of detecting missiles beyond the horizon, so by the time land radar could positively identify the threat, it would be too late.

Petrov's dilemma was this: if he was disregarding a real attack, then the Soviet Union would be devastated by nuclear weapons without any warning or chance to retaliate, and he would have failed at his duty. On the other hand, if he were to report a non-existent attack, his superiors might launch an equally catastrophic assault against their enemies. In either case, millions of people would die.

Understanding that if he were wrong, nuclear missiles would soon be raining down on the Soviet Union, Petrov decided to trust his intuition and declare the system's indications a false alarm. After a short while, it was apparent that his instincts were right. There were no approaching missiles. The crisis put him under immense pressure and stress, yet Petrov's judgement had been sound. A full-scale nuclear war had been averted.

WHAT!!??...FUCKING...WHAT!!!!!??


This is surreal.
First there is the mission to "kill" Osama Bin Laden. A man who the locals said looked a little like Bin Laden but stated emphatically that it was "not him". Then the U.S government decided to dump the body into the ocean. "Bin Laden, he sleeps with the fishes." I wonder if there were cement boots involved. The powers that be then decide not to make any photographs or corroborating evidence of ANY kind available to the public.
Now the only human beings on the planet who know the truth about what happened have been killed in an "accident" in Afghanistan.

NATO Helicopter Shot Down in Afghanistan, Over 20 SEAL Team 6 Members Perish
By DJ Pangburn Saturday, August 06, 2011

31 U.S. troops were killed when a NATO Chinook helicopter was brought down by insurgents. Over 20 of the dead were from Navy SEAL Team 6—the unit that killed Osama bin Laden.

31 U.S. troops were killed when a NATO Chinook troop transport helicopter was downed from what seems to be a rocket-propelled grenade, according to the Washington Post.

The Post, quoting a current U.S. official, stated that seven of the dead were Afghan troops and over 20 were from SEAL Team 6—the elite team that assassinated Osama bin Laden.

Radiation Spreads Over Canada


Here is an excerpt from an article at straight.com. Aside from the alarming information about radiation spikes in Canada, it proves to me that the only thing that makes sense in ANY kind of crisis is to assume at the outset that the government is lying about everything and proceed from there.

Nuclear impact

Japan’s Fukushima catastrophe brings big radiation spikes to B.C.

Monitoring stations catch a fraction of Fukushima fallout

After Japan’s Fukushima catastrophe, Canadian government officials reassured jittery Canadians that the radioactive plume billowing from the destroyed nuclear reactors posed zero health risks in this country.

In fact, there was reason to worry. Health Canada detected massive amounts of radioactive material from Fukushima in Canadian air in March and April at monitoring stations across the country.

The level of radioactive iodine spiked above the federal maximum allowed limit in the air at four of the five sites where Health Canada monitors levels of specific radioisotopes.

On March 18, seven days after an earthquake and tsunami triggered eventual nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan, the first radioactive material wafted over the Victoria suburb of Sidney on Vancouver Island.

For 22 days, a Health Canada monitoring station in Sidney detected iodine-131 levels in the air that were 61 percent above the government’s allowable limit. In Resolute Bay, Nunavut, the levels were 3.5 times the limit.

Meanwhile, government officials claimed there was nothing to worry about. “The quantities of radioactive materials reaching Canada as a result of the Japanese nuclear incident are very small and do not pose any health risk to Canadians,” Health Canada says on its website. “The very slight increases in radiation across the country have been smaller than the normal day-to-day fluctuations from background radiation.”

In fact, Health Canada’s own data shows this isn’t true. The iodine-131 level in the air in Sidney peaked at 3.6 millibecquerels per cubic metre on March 20. That’s more than 300 times higher than the background level, which is 0.01 or fewer millibecquerels per cubic metre.

That's One Big Freakin' Planet


You know how you sometimes can sense that something is present even though you can’t see it? Well, astronomers are getting that feeling about a giant, hidden object in space.

And when we say giant, we mean GIANT.

They’ve found the largest planet ‘IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM’. It orbits our Sun in a far elliptical orbit, and is said to be 4x’s the size of Jupiter. It has a helium and hydrogen atmosphere. It’s most likely to have moons. This planet fits the exact description of Planet X.

So, one must ask, why are they suddenly telling us now? Scientists have known about this planet since 1983 [Read article below] and they’ve been using WISE and IRAS to monitor it. Does this mean it will be visible this year? I’m thinking so. They have no choice but to tell us as it will viewable to everyone w/o a telescope this year. And why are they not calling this planet by its real name? Nibiru? Planet X? Well, that would mean that all of us so called “conspiracy theorist’s” and our ancient ancestors, were right all along.

NASA WISE Telescope shows a Giant Planet next to the Solar System. February 13, 2011. NASA confirms that is tracking Hercolubus, at the moment scientists call it as Tyche. The NASA Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope is showing a giant planet next to the Solar System. Tyche (Hercolubus) is 4 times bigger than Jupiter and orbit at the outer edge of the Solar System.Scientists are just analyzing the data gathered by a NASA space telescope WISE, it shows a giant planet up to four times the mass of Jupiter lurking in the outer Oort Cloud, the most remote region of the solar system. The orbit of Tyche (Hercolubus) would be 15,000 times farther from the Sun than the Earth’s, and 375 times farther than Pluto’s.

Cuz things just aren't bad enough...



I wonder if I should move to Antarctica or something.

Fukushima has gone "Apocalyptic"




Fukushima may be in an apocalyptic downward spiral.

Forget the corporate-induced media coma that says otherwise ... or nothing at all.

Lethal radiation is spewing unabated. Emission levels could seriously escalate. There is no end in sight. The potential is many times worse than Chernobyl.

Containing this disaster may be beyond the abilities of Tokyo Electric or the Japanese government.

There is no reason to incur further unnecessary risk. With all needed resources, it's time for the world's best scientists and engineers to take charge.

Even then the outcome is unclear.

For a brief but terrifying overview, consult Dr. Chris Busby as interviewed by RT/TV.

Fukushima Units One, Two and Three are all in various stages of melting down.

Molten fuel at Unit One may have burned through its reactor pressure vessel, with water poured in to cool it merely pouring out the bottom.

A growing pond of highly radioactive liquid is softening the ground and draining into the ocean.

There is no way to predict where these molten masses of fuel will yet go.

Especially in the event of an aftershock, steam and hydrogen explosions could blow out what's left of the containments.

The extra plutonium in the MOX fuel at Unit Three is an added liability.

At least one spent fuel pool has been on fire.

The site has already suffered at least two hydrogen explosions. Some believe a fission explosion may also have occurred.

Readings taken 19 miles at sea "ten times higher than Chenobyl"

"Given that the Fukushima nuclear power plant is on the ocean, and with leaks and runoff directly to the ocean, the impacts on the ocean will exceed those of Chernobyl, which was hundreds of miles from any sea," said Ken Buessler, Senior Scientist in Marine Chemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, several months back. Since that time, it has been revealed that Fukushima reactors 1, 2, and 3 have all experienced "melt-throughs," which are considered to be the worst possible outcome in a nuclear disaster
