Based on what we’ve seen so far, with natural disasters rising at an unprecedented rate, and especially in consideration of the “overdue” status of several of our areas that are prone to major disasters, those on the west coast should take heed and prepare themselves as best they can for what by all scientific standards is overdue. That includes the Cascadia Seduction Zone, several faults in addition to the San Andreas Fault, some which have been “locked” for far too long that crisscross several areas of California.

We haven’t had a major quake or volcanic eruption in the United States for several years which has almost been too good to be true, but with events transpiring as they are, I’m making an educated guess that as soon as tomorrow, but more than likely in the next few months, we will experience a catastrophic quake or major volcanic activity in the continental United States, and we can’t write Alaska or Hawaii off either; there have been recent rumblings in the Aleutian Islands and KILAUEA started acting-up on January 2 - 8, 2008.

I just learned there was another quake in the Aleutian Islands at 12:25 this morning, the magnitude which has not yet been stated. This is a visual link to the recent earthquake activity throughout the “Ring of Fire”. Please note the heavy activity in Alaska and the minor activity in California. The West Coast and Alaska are on the “Ring of Fire”, and in consideration of the events that have transpired, it appears to be possible, if not probable that South and North America could soon experience some major volcanic/seismic activity. Visual LINK This site constantly updates itself, so if you want to keep an eye on matters yourself, this is a good site to bookmark.

As it concerns Yellowstone National Park, I do believe that one third of the budging that has occurred over the past century happened within the last three year to be significant, and in raw scientific terms I’m not sure what it means, however based on the way CNN attempted to downplay the story indicates to me there may be some serious concern in that area; but, worrying about Yellowstone blowing is akin to a huge asteroid strike on the world. If either were ever to happen, there is absolutely nothing we can do about it, so why worry?

NOTE: The most recent information I have suggests the US is only in possession of a fifty-three (53) day food supply. With natural disasters on the rise worldwide, this is not acceptable. New Orleans proved we are not invincible and were grossly under prepared, and some of these events are long overdue; we’ve been lucky, but with a population of 300,000,000+ million people, to fail to prepare as a nation is a crime in of itself - and if it’s not corrected, the potential death toll could stagger the imagination. Think about Avian Flu, which could morph into a dangerous virus that mutates until we have human to human transmission. In those circumstances, how long will a fifty-three day food supply actually last to a nation that is experiencing a pandemic?

This comment has been flagged and is awaiting review by the editors -

Mr Cormier's comments are astoundingly similar to those posted on the Smithsonian Institute Volcanic Activity Report...so similar it almost could be said he may have simply done a "copy paste" without making reference to the postings (which carry a copyright) http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports/usgs/

Interesting insight to the ring of fire events, good insight into the facts without the bias of a scientific study funded by the government.

The US may only have a 53 day food supply for emergencies, but each citizen has the right and responsibility to store 3 days food and 2 weeks water for each member of the household (see Red Cross or FEMA websites). We can't expect the government to do it all, we must take an active part.

I wrote This From Scratch

It's obvious that I used the site to substantiate the most recent volcanic activity; on that site I can see nothing that is predicting an eruption and/or increased seismic activity for the United States. I linked to the site myself to offer those described events to back-up my theory that the pressures generated by Indonesia’s Great Quake must now equal itself out throughout the "Ring of Fire." On page two, second paragraph from the bottom you will note this word: "LINK"

If you press on that "link" you will see that I did link to and reference the original site.

Further, on my site I made a correction that I haven't changed or referenced on this entry yet - and that's that we have a 43 day food supply for the US, not 53.

I have found no other writings or extrapolations in regard data which I used as the basis for this "theory" or chain of events that I believe are emanating from the Great Quake in Indonesia. Are you suggesting that I "stole" my theory from someone else? And if so, who? If someone else has made note of the same thing and reached the conclusions I did, I haven't seen it in print anywhere, and I don't believe you will find it anywhere else except contained within this essay.

If you read the original article that led up to this one,

CNN Oversimplifies The Danger of Yellowstone National Park

you will note that I did my research and caught the mischaracterization of Yellowstone as an "ancient volcano" and then placed its recent activity, which is unprecedented, in what I believed to be the proper perspective. This has been an area I have studied for a long time, and as I stated, once the Columbian volcano erupted I believed it was too much of a coincidence not to point out what I believe is a pattern and/or trend.

What I write or hypothesize upon comes from research and paying close attention to recent volcanic events and their location(s), and in fact on this particular issue, I stepped-up and predicted that this year will be a year with sizable volcanic and/or serious seismic events on the west coast of the United States. I'll either be proven to be right or wrong, and even I admit that my beliefs are half-way based on the pattern I see emerging as well as a nagging belief that some of these potential natural disasters are right at our doorstep - not years off into the future.

Volcanoes, earthquakes, and the frequency and locations thereof have always interested me and I tend to follow their activity especially after I was convinced that we aren't being told important facts in regard Yellowstone's bulging Caldera and the obvious slant of CNN's piece that minimized Yellowstone’s danger to the point of being deceptive in regard "what" Yellowstone actually is - the only active Super volcano on earth, and one that is over 45,000 years past its normal eruption cycle.

I am among a growing number of advocates of the work of he whos pen name is Joseph J. Adamson. I try to spread the word about it because I believe he has the most reasonable and practical solutions for our time, particularly to address religious and political conflicts.

Signs prior to the big event

"As the Christ Jesus foretold, the signs prior to [the coming of the son of man] will be wars and rumors of war, and many of the people of the world will suffer from the 'seven plagues' (diseases, famines, pestilence, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and droughts) and 'many other terrible things.'"

The author who wrote that explains how we are going through the terrible tribulation that Jesus and many other prophets foresaw.

The thing is, the "son of man" Jesus was talking about was not himself. He was talking about the "witness and servant of God" that the prophet Isaiah was talking about. You can read all about it here:

I live in the heart of America, and am haunted by the saying:
"Evil succeeds because good men do nothing." by Edmund Burke.

Albert Einstein had another way of saying it:
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."

So I do what I can.

Well done, William

It's certainly interesting what's Nature is up to, even if there's not much we can do except for certain preparations we do anyway, here in the tornado belt.

As far as the media is concerned, this quote applies:

"The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars; The men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. -- H. L. Mencken

The movie, The Matrix, also said it, symbolized by red and blue pills. Most people stay with the blue pills. That's okay. The red pill's almost overwhelming. Thanks for sharing the information.

The interconnection of all things

Your article is interesting. I have to admit that my one geology class in college brought me two things: I met my future wife; and I learned that geology was a subject that I know little of. Having said that, I do know that modern science tends to separate things into individual pieces to study them. However, in the real world there seems to be a real interconnection of all things. That we are moving into horrible times (economic crisis, and coming global war, etc.) may well be connected to geophysical events. I remember reading that in the Pacific the weather patterns were different from the late 30s till early 1946, same time as the war was ongoing (first in China then throughout the Pacific basin area).

The fact is that we/all things are interconnected. There is an interesting article on this, "The Amazing Holographic Universe" at www.redicecreations.com/specialreports/2006/01jan/holographic.html However I would go farther than the article. I say that God is the Creator of all and is at the center of all things. So as we head deeper and deeper into nightmare times, the End Times, it is only natural that nature itself will play a part.

Good Call On Ring Of Fire!

Loved your article...!

You may or may not know this, but there's an Asteroid heading our way (No, it's not supposed to crash into the Earth, So doesn't look as though we're all about to die.... yet) BUT it is going to come between the Earth & Moon. It is magnetically charged and scientists say it will effect our magnetic field much in the same way Solar Storms do. There would be power surges along various grids, Earthquakes in strange places, seismic activity.

But, nonetheless, the media of course doesn't find this interesting and the terror alerts are up. So just in case, baton down the hatches and know that any possible Natural catastrophe for Just That.
