<p>One of the major themes in the months ahead will be &#8220;wars and rumors of wars&#8221;.  I have been writing a lot about Ukraine lately, but on Monday the big action actually happened in Asia.</p>
<p>By now, most of you know about the coup that happened in Myanmar earlier this year, and in recent days China had started to mobilize troops <a href="https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2021/04/02/China-troops-gather-Myanmar-border/2461617368725/">on the Myanmar border</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Chinese troops are reportedly assembling at the Myanmar border to guard China&#8217;s highly prized natural gas pipelines as violence grows in Myanmar in the aftermath of a military coup.</p>
<p><a href="https://bit.ly/3umJ7lT" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Irrawaddy</a> reported Thursday the troops were gathering in the Chinese border town of Jiegao, facing the town of Muse in Shan State. The mobilization includes soldiers and military trucks, the report said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, on Monday social media was buzzing about videos that reportedly show that Chinese forces <a href="https://twitter.com/terror_alarm/status/1379051949790744578">have actually crossed into Myanmar</a> in order to support the new government against pro-democracy protesters.</p>
<p>Now that Chinese soldiers have entered the country, there is a good chance that they may be sticking around on a permanent basis, and it is probably safe to say that Myanmar will be part of the Chinese &#8220;sphere of influence&#8221; from this point forward.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the UK and the European Union <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/05/eu-sounds-alarm-at-russian-troops-ukraine-border-moves">are promising to support the Ukrainians</a> in their conflict against Russia&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>The European Union and UK have pledged “unwavering” support for Ukraine’s government amid concerns of a military escalation in the east of the country or a possible new offensive against the Nato ally after recent Russian troop movements.</p>
<p>Ukraine has accused Russia of massing thousands of military personnel on its northern and eastern borders as well as on the Crimean peninsula annexed by Moscow in 2014. Online researchers have identified troops being transferred to Ukraine’s borders from western and central Russia, including artillery from as far away as Siberia.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is a situation that I will be monitoring very closely, because I believe that it has very serious implications for the United States.</p>
<p>Another major theme in the months ahead will be pestilences.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that hundreds of millions of people have already been &#8220;fully vaccinated&#8221; around the globe, the COVID pandemic continues to rage wildly out of control.</p>
<p>And if things weren&#8217;t bad enough already, now we are being told that a &#8220;double mutant&#8221; strain has popped up <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/04/05/double-mutant-covid-19-strain-emerges-in-california/">in California</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A new “double mutant” variant of the coronavirus has been discovered in California, with scientists worrying the strain could be more infectious.</p></blockquote>
<p>Apparently this new variant has two key mutations that help it <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/04/05/double-mutant-covid-19-strain-emerges-in-california/">&#8220;latch onto cells&#8221;</a> even better&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>The emerging strain is called the “double mutant” because it carries two mutations in the virus that helps it latch onto cells, the news outlet reported.</p>
<p>The “double mutant” variant has been found in 20 percent of cases sequenced from India’s hard-hit state of Maharashtra, where coronavirus cases have surged more than 50 percent in the past week, noted Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease expert at the University of California, San Francisco.</p></blockquote>
<p>At the same time, we are being told that an even deadlier new COVID strain has just been discovered in Brazil.  The following comes from <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1418867/covid-variant-brazil-coronavirus-vaccine-latest-P2-brazil-variant">a British news source</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A NEW, even deadlier Brazilian COVID-19 variant has emerged which is able to alter itself in such a way as to render all current vaccines ineffective, an alarming new study has indicated.</p></blockquote>
<p>I have previously written about the P.1 variant that emerged in Brazil, but that is already old news.</p>
<p>This new variant is known as P.2, and it is apparently the most dangerous variant <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1418867/covid-variant-brazil-coronavirus-vaccine-latest-P2-brazil-variant">that has been discovered so far</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>There is already a P.2 variant, and preliminary research authored by scientists including those at Brazil&#8217;s Department of Virology suggests the virus is continuing to alter itself in Brazil, deleting sites on the spike protein which antibodies bind to in a development that would prevent vaccines from working.</p></blockquote>
<p>Needless to say, the corporate media will squeeze every ounce of drama out of this COVID pandemic that they possibly can, but those that follow my work on a regular basis already know that I am far more concerned <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DJ6Y81Q">about the next pandemic that is coming</a>.</p>
<p>Earth changes will be a third major theme which will be prominent in the months ahead.</p>
<p>In recent weeks I have written numerous articles about the volcanic eruptions and large earthquakes which have been taking place all over the globe.</p>
<p>On Monday, it was California&#8217;s turn for some shaking.  Two sizable earthquakes shook Los Angeles, and that included one <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9437143/Minor-4-0-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-Los-Angeles-area.html">of magnitude 4.0</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>At least two earthquakes shook up the Los Angeles within half hour of each other Monday before dawn.</p>
<p>The U.S. Geological Survey said a 4.0 tremor was reported at 4:44 a.m. near Lennox, California.</p>
<p>The epicenter was just east of the Los Angeles International Airport, along Century Boulevard on the south side of Hollywood Park.</p></blockquote>
<p>The good news is that this quake was just a &#8220;wake up call&#8221; and not much damage was done.</p>
<p>But someday we will see a history changing earthquake happen along the west coast, and once that happens the geography of California <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DJ6Y81Q">will never be the same again</a>.</p>
<p>Before I end this article, I also want to strongly urge everyone to keep watching Israel.</p>
<p>Because I believe that in the months ahead we are going to see things happen in Israel that are of absolutely critical importance.</p>
<p>No matter what we do, we cannot stop the inexorable march of time.</p>
<p>Each day we continue to move even closer to the &#8220;point of no return&#8221; for our society, and yet very few people seem alarmed by this.</p>
<p>Sadly, time will eventually run out, and then our day of reckoning will be at hand.</p>

<p>And without a doubt, that day is coming.</p>
<p>Because of the extreme damage that a major west coast seismic event would do to our economy and to our Internet infrastructure, all of our lives will dramatically change the moment it happens.  So it is understandable why so many people are alarmed by the tremendous shaking that we have witnessed over the past few days.  As Americans all over the country were celebrating Christmas, the state of California was shaken by 9 significant earthquakes, and farther north the city of Vancouver was rattled <a href="https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/article238708288.html">by a magnitude 6.3 quake</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A series of earthquakes on Christmas Eve and before dawn Christmas morning hit around California, and a much bigger 6.3 quake shook off Vancouver.</p>
<p>At least nine earthquakes in 24 hours reaching up to 3.2 magnitude shook California from the Los Angeles area north to Chico, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.</p>
<p>The other quakes in the swarm ranged from 2.5 to 3.0 magnitude and stretched the length of the state, according to the USGS.</p></blockquote>
<p>The large earthquake that shook Vancouver was preceded by five other large earthquakes that hit the region <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/port-hardy-earthquake-dec-23-1.5406883">on Monday</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>There were no reports of damage or injuries after five earthquakes struck within seven hours off the northwest end of Vancouver Island on Monday.</p>
<p>The tremors began as minor quakes, but grew stronger as the morning turned to afternoon.</p></blockquote>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/port-hardy-earthquake-dec-23-1.5406883">the CBC</a>, those five large earthquakes ranged in size from magnitude 4.8 to magnitude 6.0&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>5.1 (8:44 a.m. PT).</li>
<li>5.6 (11:13 a.m.).</li>
<li>5.8 (11:49 a.m.).</li>
<li>6.0 (12:56 p.m.).</li>
<li>4.8 (3:38 p.m.).</li>
</ul>
<p>Hopefully this earthquake swarm off the coast of Vancouver will turn out to be nothing.</p>
<p>But scientists tell us that an enormous rupture of the Cascadia subduction zone has the potential to produce a giant tsunami hundreds of feet tall, and the death and destruction such a tsunami would cause in Vancouver, Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and other coastal communities in the Northwest would be absolutely off the charts.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, we have also witnessed <a href="https://pnsn.org/volcanoes/mount-rainier">more than 30 significant earthquakes</a> over last 30 days in the vicinity of Mt. Rainier, and anyone that is familiar with my work knows how concerned I am about the potential for a major eruption of that volcano.</p>
<p>Because there is always at least a little bit of shaking going on along the west coast, many residents have been lulled into a false sense of security.  Yes, a major disaster has not happened in a long time, and as a result many believe that there is nothing to be concerned about.  But someday a major event will strike very suddenly, and the devastation will be unimaginable.  Just consider what <a href="https://thedailycoin.org/2019/11/03/millions-will-die-in-cascadia-big-one-steve-quayle/">Steve Quayle recently told Greg Hunter</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The amount of damage, and I am going to choose my words carefully, is going to be precedent setting. It’s going to be the combination of volcanos going off that are inland from the subduction zone where the plates meet, coupled with tsunamis. . . . When this happens, you will lose eight million to twenty million people. When it happens, you will lose all productivity in the electronic field, obviously Silicon Valley, and all food production in all of California, Oregon and Washington. When it happens, you will have a State of Emergency unlike any other. How about the refugees? There will be 3.5 million refugees to take care of. When this happens, what happens to the underground aquifers, and where does everybody go for fresh water? There will be years of drought, years of famine and years of water, water where did it all go? It is a very dire situation painted by computer models. This is not a sensational thing. It is a reality based, scientific study with the application of what happens.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Hopefully such an event will be delayed for as long as possible.</p>
<p>But each day it gets a little closer.</p>
<p>Before I get back to California, there is one more little tidbit from the Northwest that I wanted to share with you.  On Friday, the city of Seattle experienced <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/seattle-sees-its-darkest-day-in-recorded-history-report">&#8220;its darkest day in recorded history&#8221;</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Seattle, the city known for its rainy weather and overcast, saw its darkest day in recorded history Friday due to several factors, including shorter days and dense cloud coverage.</p>
<p>Pyranometers are devices installed in buildings on campus at the University of Washington that help scientists gauge just how dark the days actually get in the city, the Seattle Times reported. Scientists there monitor how much solar radiation reaches the ground during a 24-hour span.</p></blockquote>
<p>Could that be some sort of a harbinger?</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know, but certainly <a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/while-americans-are-celebrating-christmas-a-solar-eclipse-will-be-visible-in-bethlehem">a lot of really weird things</a> have been happening in the U.S. lately.</p>
<p>Overall, there have been <a href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/#%7B%22autoUpdate%22%3A%5B%22autoUpdate%22%5D%2C%22basemap%22%3A%22grayscale%22%2C%22feed%22%3A%227day_all%22%2C%22listFormat%22%3A%22default%22%2C%22mapposition%22%3A%5B%5B27.527758206861886%2C-130.71533203125%5D%2C%5B49.396675075193976%2C-88.52783203125%5D%5D%2C%22overlays%22%3A%5B%22plates%22%5D%2C%22restrictListToMap%22%3A%5B%22restrictListToMap%22%5D%2C%22search%22%3Anull%2C%22sort%22%3A%22newest%22%2C%22timezone%22%3A%22utc%22%2C%22viewModes%22%3A%5B%22list%22%2C%22map%22%2C%22settings%22%5D%2C%22event%22%3Anull%7D">more than 1,200 earthquakes</a> in the United States over the past week, and the majority of those quakes have happened in the state of California.</p>
<p>Prior to the earthquake swarm that we witnessed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, a series of moderate quakes rattled the Ridgecrest area <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/secretive-california-military-base-rattled-five-earthquakes-one-day">on Thursday and Friday</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Five months after the biggest earthquake in two decades, a swarm of smaller quakes rattled a secretive Navy base in the Mojave Desert Thursday afternoon and before dawn on Friday, according to the US Geological Survey.</p>
<p>Five quakes magnitudes over 2.5 struck Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake between 3 p.m. Thursday and 3.30 a.m. Friday in Ridgecrest, CA, according to the <a href="https://www.fresnobee.com/news/california/article238580988.html"><em>Fresno Bee</em></a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>That is the exact same area where two large earthquakes made headlines all over the globe last July.</p>
<p>Could it be possible that another major event is on the way?</p>
<p>As I <a href="http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/michael-snyders-warning-to-america">repeatedly stress</a>, we live at a time when our planet is becoming increasingly unstable.</p>
<p>Maybe it won&#8217;t happen this week, and maybe it won&#8217;t happen this month, but scientists assure us that major seismic disasters are coming to the west coast.</p>
<p>It is simply a matter of time, and time may be running out a whole lot more rapidly than most people would dare to imagine.</p>

<p>Over the weekend, we witnessed some very unusual quakes in the middle of the country.  On Sunday, a <a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/state/kansas/article236963833.html">magnitude 3.2 earthquake</a> rattled Kansas&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>The Kansas quake hit at 9:08 p.m. Central time near South Hutchinson, northwest of Wichita, according to the USGS. About 175 people reported feeling the tremor, some as far away as Osborne and Concordia, Kansas.</p></blockquote>
<p>Thankfully that quake hit in an area with a very low population density, and so it didn&#8217;t affect that many people.</p>
<p>But then on Sunday, a series of relatively large earthquakes <a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/state/kansas/article236963833.html">hammered Oklahoma</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A <a href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ok2019vnpt/executive" target="_blank" rel="Follow noopener">3.0-magnitude</a> earthquake hit near Fairview in northern Oklahoma, at 1 a.m. Sunday, followed by a <a href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ok2019vnra/executive" target="_blank" rel="Follow noopener">2.6-magnitude</a> quake at 1:37 a.m. near Quinton in eastern Oklahoma, the USGS reports. A <a href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ok2019vmyv/executive" target="_blank" rel="Follow noopener">2.7-magnitude</a> tremor rattled Waukomis in northern Oklahoma at 4:25 p.m. Saturday</p></blockquote>
<p>Overall, there have been <a href="https://earthquaketrack.com/p/united-states/oklahoma/recent">143 earthquakes</a> in Oklahoma in the last 30 days, and the increasing level of seismic activity in that part of the nation definitely has a lot of people on edge.</p>
<p>But of much greater concern is what has been happening along the west coast.  The two major quakes that hit California in July were followed by more than 100,000 aftershocks, and scientists are warning that this <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/earthquakes-southern-california-stress-major-fault-dormant-since-records-began-1469257">&#8220;may have increased stress on parts of a major dormant fault line&#8221;</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A series of earthquakes which shook Southern California earlier this year may have increased stress on parts of a major dormant fault line which has not produced any significant activity since records began, according to a study.</p>
<p>Scientists from the University of Iowa examined the so-called Ridgecrest earthquakes, which began with a 6.4 magnitude foreshock in the Mojave Desert on July 4, followed the next day by a 7.1 magnitude quake—the largest in Southern California for two decades. In addition, more than 100,000 smaller aftershocks were recorded.</p></blockquote>
<p>The &#8220;dormant fault line&#8221; which they are talking about is the Garlock Fault.</p>
<p>And the Garlock Fault runs directly into the San Andreas Fault.</p>
<p>One day there will be a massive quake that fundamentally alters the geography of southern California, and let us hope that day is delayed for as long as possible.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, we have also witnessed some unusual rumbling off the coast farther north.</p>
<p>In fact, five large earthquakes were detected off of the Oregon coast last month.  The following comes from a news story that was posted <a href="https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2019/10/magnitude-46-earthquake-off-oregon-coast-marks-fifth-this-month.html?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_campaign=theoregonian_sf&amp;utm_medium=social">on October 21st</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A magnitude-4.6 earthquake Monday morning became the fifth to strike off the Oregon coast since the beginning of the month.</p>
<p>The quake rumbled around 6:47 a.m. about 120 miles west of Bandon and at a depth of roughly 6 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.</p>
<p>On Thursday, a magnitude-4.7 temblor struck about 95 miles from Port Orford — just hours after students in Coos and Curry counties participated in an annual earthquake drill.</p></blockquote>
<p>The reason why these quakes are so alarming is because they happened in the vicinity of the Cascadia Subduction Zone.</p>
<p>As Steve Quayle recently <a href="https://usawatchdog.com/millions-will-die-in-cascadia-big-one-steve-quayle/">told Greg Hunter</a>, someday the Cascadia Subduction Zone will suddenly come to life, and it will be the greatest natural disaster that we have seen so far in all of American history&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>What’s the worst case scenario if the Cascadia Subduction Zone lets loose and volcanos, earthquakes and tsunamis are unleashed? Quayle says “The amount of damage, and I am going to choose my words carefully, is going to be precedent setting. It’s going to be the combination of volcanos going off that are inland from the subduction zone where the plates meet, coupled with tsunamis. . . . When this happens, you will lose eight million to twenty million people. When it happens, you will lose all productivity in the electronic field, obviously Silicon Valley, and all food production in all of California, Oregon and Washington. When it happens, you will have a State of Emergency unlike any other. How about the refugees? There will be 3.5 million refugees to take care of. When this happens, what happens to the underground aquifers, and where does everybody go for fresh water? There will be years of drought, years of famine and years of water, water where did it all go? It is a very dire situation painted by computer models. This is not a sensational thing. It is a reality based, scientific study with the application of what happens.”</p>
<p>Quayle warns that the public would likely have roughly “15 minutes to get to safety,” and “the tsunami waves would be 500 to 1,500 feet tall.”</p></blockquote>
<p>You can see the trailer for the new film that is being produced about the Cascadia Subduction Zone <a href="https://vimeo.com/369733688">right here</a>.  I am so glad that this movie is being made, because I have been trying to warn people about what is going to happen for a long time.  For example, the following comes from one of my previous articles entitled <a href="http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/you-have-been-warned-experts-tell-us-that-a-cascadia-subduction-zone-earthquake-and-tsunami-will-destroy-everything-west-of-interstate-5">&#8220;You Have Been Warned: Experts Tell Us That A Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake And Tsunami Will Destroy Everything West Of Interstate 5&#8221;</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>One day it will happen. With little or no warning, the Cascadia Subduction Zone will produce a catastrophic earthquake and accompanying tsunami that will essentially destroy everything west of Interstate 5 in the Pacific Northwest. It will be the worst natural disaster up to that point in American history, and as you will see below, the experts are saying that we are completely and utterly unprepared for it. Of course the San Andreas Fault gets more publicity, but the truth is that the Cascadia Subduction Zone is capable of producing a quake “almost 30 times more energetic” than anything the San Andreas Fault can produce.</p></blockquote>
<p>Scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before such a disaster takes place.</p>
<p>So essentially those living right along the coast are taking a huge gamble.</p>
<p>Day after day, they hope that there is still at least a little bit more time before the Cascadia Subduction Zone absolutely devastates the Northwest.</p>
<p>Of course up until now that gamble has paid off, but one day their luck will suddenly run out.</p>

<p>And the number of very large earthquakes is at a frighteningly high level as well.  According <a href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/#%7B%22autoUpdate%22%3A%5B%22autoUpdate%22%5D%2C%22basemap%22%3A%22grayscale%22%2C%22feed%22%3A%227day_m45%22%2C%22listFormat%22%3A%22default%22%2C%22mapposition%22%3A%5B%5B-87.81069961847352%2C-137.4609375%5D%2C%5B87.79722825107984%2C537.5390624999999%5D%5D%2C%22overlays%22%3A%5B%22plates%22%5D%2C%22restrictListToMap%22%3A%5B%22restrictListToMap%22%5D%2C%22search%22%3Anull%2C%22sort%22%3A%22newest%22%2C%22timezone%22%3A%22utc%22%2C%22viewModes%22%3A%5B%22list%22%2C%22map%22%2C%22settings%22%5D%2C%22event%22%3A%22us70004jea%22%7D">to the USGS</a>, there have been 121 earthquakes of at least magnitude 4.5 around the world within the last seven days, and that includes <a href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us70004jea/executive">the magnitude 6.1 earthquake</a> that just hit Japan.</p>
<p>Incredibly, that quake in Japan brought the number of global earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 or greater that we have seen so far this year up to a grand total of 84.  The following comes from <a href="http://www.thebigwobble.org/2019/07/a-mag-61-japan-is-38th-straight-major.html?m=1">the Big Wobble</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Last nights quake brings the total of major quakes (mag 6+) to 84, incredibly all but 7 of them striking the Pacific Ring Of Fire.</p>
<p>The last 38 major quakes this year, going back to the 3rd of May have occurred along the Pacific Ring Of Fire.</p></blockquote>
<p>But on Sunday we had to add two more to that total.</p>
<p>The first actually tied the record for <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/14/earthquake-of-65-magnitude-strikes-off-western-australian-coast">the largest earthquake that western Australia has ever seen</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>The equal-largest earthquake recorded in Australia has hit off the Kimberley coast, shaking items off shelves and stunning local residents who had never felt a tremor before.</p>
<p>The 6.6 magnitude undersea quake struck at 3.39pm AEST on Sunday between Port Hedland and Broome, GeoScience Australia reported.</p></blockquote>
<p>The second was even larger.  When a magnitude 7.3 earthquake hit Indonesia on Sunday, it sparked tsunami fears and <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7245833/Terrifying-7-3-earthquake-sparks-panic-strikes-near-Indonesian-tourist-hotspot.html">made headlines all over the globe</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A terrifying 7.3-magnitude earthquake has sparked panic after it rocked the remote Maluku islands in eastern Indonesia today.</p>
<p>Scared residents were seen fleeing through the streets and heading for high ground, though no tsunami warning was issued after the land-based quake struck.</p></blockquote>
<p>None of this is &#8220;normal&#8221;.  As I keep warning my readers, we have entered <a href="https://amzn.to/2lp0zIb">a time of tremendous global instability</a>, and the U.S. is certainly not going to be exempt.</p>
<p>In fact, we just witnessed a magnitude 4.0 earthquake in Montana.  The following comes from <a href="https://endtimeheadlines.org/2019/07/4-0-earthquake-rattles-montana/">Ricky Scaparo</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>According to reports from the <a href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us70004jv8/executive">USGS</a>, A 4.0 earthquake has rattled Manhattan, Montana. This earthquake follows the string of quakes that have rattled the globe over the past few weeks producing powerful earthquakes in Southern California and rattling Seattle, Washington. We will give you more information as we receive it.</p></blockquote>
<p>The magnitude 4.6 earthquake in Seattle that he mentioned <a href="http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/a-magnitude-4-6-earthquake-just-hit-seattle">definitely got a lot of attention</a> when it struck very early on Friday morning.  According to a USGS geophysicist, that quake was &#8220;widely felt throughout the Seattle area&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A magnitude 4.6 earthquake shook Seattle and the Puget Sound region just before 3 a.m. Friday, <a class="content-link external" title="according to the United States Geological Survey" href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us70004iwe/map?dyfi-responses-10km=true&amp;shakemap-intensity=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the United States Geological Survey</a>.</p>
<p>“It’s been widely felt throughout the Seattle area,” said Paul Caruso, a USGS geophysicist.</p></blockquote>
<p>I know that California is receiving most of the attention right now, but we definitely need to keep a close eye on the Northwest, because they are definitely overdue for a &#8220;Big One&#8221; of their own and there are several volcanoes in the region that could literally go off at any time.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the shaking in southern California simply will not stop.  According <a href="http://scedc.caltech.edu/recent/">to Cal Tech</a>, there have been 10,303 earthquakes of all magnitudes in California and Nevada within the last seven days.</p>
<p>In case you are wondering, that is not &#8220;normal&#8221; either.</p>
<p>The magnitude 7.1 earthquake that we witnessed back on July 5th did not cause an enormous amount of damage because it happened in a very remote location.</p>
<p>But we should definitely not take that quake lightly, because it was extremely powerful.  According to <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/southern-california-earthquake-packed-the-power-of-45-nuclear-bombs/ar-AAEhnG2">the Los Angeles Times</a>, it actually &#8220;packed the energy of 45 nuclear bombs&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>When the magnitude 7.1 earthquake ruptured the earth in the Mojave Desert, it packed the energy of 45 nuclear bombs of the type that fell on Hiroshima.</p></blockquote>
<p>Can you imagine if such a quake had happened in downtown Los Angeles?</p>
<p>And if a magnitude 9.0 earthquake were to hit southern California someday, it would be 707 times more powerful than the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that we just witnessed.</p>
<p>Hopefully such a quake is still a long way off, but we have witnessed renewed shaking in the region within the last 24 hours.  The following comes from <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1153347/california-earthquake-today-seismic-swarm-southern-california-ring-of-fire-indonesia-quake">the Express</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>California has since experienced a number of aftershocks with a seismic swarm hitting southern California in the past 24 hours.</p>
<p>Over the course of the last 24 hours, there have been 762 earthquakes in California, 29 earthquakes were over a magnitude of 2.5.</p></blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately, this is not just a localized phenomenon.</p>
<p>As I showed at the beginning of this article, the number of global earthquakes is three times above normal right now.</p>
<p>Our entire planet is being greatly shaken, and many believe that what we have witnessed so far is just the beginning.</p>

<p>And of course this magnitude 4.6 earthquake on Friday follows several other significant west coast earthquakes that happened earlier in the week.</p>
<p>On Thursday, a magnitude 3.5 earthquake <a href="https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/04/11/southern-california-earthquake-3-5-near-san-bernardino/">hit San Bernardino</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A 3.5-magnitude earthquake shook San Bernardino at 6:05 a.m. Thursday.</p>
<p>The quake was centered 2 miles southwest of the city of San Bernardino, at a depth of 10 miles, the U.S. Geological Survey said.</p></blockquote>
<p>And on Wednesday a very alarming magnitude 4.7 earthquake <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/usgs-4-7-magnitude-earthquake-hits-west-of-oregon-coast_2874742.html">rattled the Oregon coast</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A moderate-sized, 4.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Oregon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).</p>
<p>The quake hit at around 7:11 a.m. on April 10, more than 200 miles west of Florence, Oregon, with a depth of 6.2 miles, <a href="https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us700033n5/executive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the agency said.</a> It was located about 230 miles west of Coos Bay.</p></blockquote>
<p>It is not unusual for the west coast to experience earthquakes.  They happen all the time and they are usually very small.</p>
<p>But for so many quakes of this size to happen so close together is definitely noteworthy.  This is especially true considering all of the other shaking that we have seen along the Ring of Fire lately.</p>
<p>In fact, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake that struck Indonesia on Friday <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6915877/TSUNAMI-warning-6-8-earthquake-strikes-Indonesia.html">created quite a bit of panic</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Indonesia today sparking a brief tsunami warning and sending terrified residents running for higher ground.</p>
<p>Panic broke out as buildings swayed and electricity was cut off when the quake struck at a relatively shallow depth of 10 miles off the east coast of Sulawesi island.</p>
<p>Indonesia&#8217;s geophysics agency issued a tsunami warning for coastal communities in Morowali district, where residents were advised to move away from the coast.</p></blockquote>
<p>Many Californians tend to mock the idea that they could potentially be in danger, because the truth is that a highly destructive quake has not hit the west coast in more than 20 years.</p>
<p>But scientists promise that it is just a matter of time before the &#8220;Big One&#8221; arrives, and when it does it could be far worse than most people would dare to imagine.</p>
<p>I have shared the following information <a title="a previous article" href="http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/california-hit-by-39-earthquakes-within-24-hours-as-scientists-warn-of-movement-along-the-san-andreas-fault" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">previously</a>, but I feel led to share it again.  Scientists that have studied the geography of California very carefully have come to the conclusion that an extremely large earthquake could potentially <a title="from one of them" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4336986/Ancient-quakes-point-sinking-risk-California-coast.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&#8220;plunge large parts of California into the sea almost instantly&#8221;</a>…</p>
<blockquote><p>The Big One may be overdue to hit California, but scientists near LA have found a new risk for the area during a major earthquake.</p>
<p>They claim that if a major tremor hits the area, <strong>it could plunge large parts of California into the sea almost instantly</strong>.</p>
<p>The discovery was made after studying the Newport-Inglewood fault, which has long been believed to be one of Southern California’s danger zones.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is not the plot to a new science fiction movie, and it is not some crazy rumor that people are spreading around the Internet.</p>
<p>We are talking about nationally-respected scientists that have spent their entire careers studying these things.  According to Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby, this wouldn&#8217;t be a slow process either.  In fact, he insists it is something <a title="that this could actually happen someday" href="http://unexplainedmysteriesoftheworld.com/archives/scientists-warn-that-the-coming-california-megaquake-could-plunge-large-portions-of-the-state-into-the-ocean" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&#8220;that would happen relatively instantaneously&#8221;</a>…</p>
<div id="stcpDiv">
<blockquote><p>Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby, who worked with the Leeper on the study, said the sinking would occur quickly and <strong>likely result in part of California being covered by the sea</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>“It’s something that would happen relatively instantaneously,”</strong> Prof Kirby said. <strong>“Probably today if it happened, you would see seawater rushing in.”</strong></p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>For those that are living directly along the coastline, there will be no escape.</p>
<p>Let us hope that nothing like this happens for many years to come.  But we live at a time when our planet <a href="https://amzn.to/2Ggecjs">is becoming increasingly unstable</a>, and there is no doubt that the &#8220;Big One&#8221; is coming to Calif0rnia at some point.</p>
<p>Speaking of instability, the middle of the country was just hit by a second &#8220;bomb cyclone&#8221; in less than a month, and it is being reported that wind speeds were above 100 miles per hour <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6915917/Snow-falling-Plains-Midwest.html">in some locations</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A &#8216;bomb cyclone&#8217; is continuing to move over the Plains and Upper Midwest after dropping as much as two feet of snow in places.</p>
<p>The system is forecast to weaken on Friday as it moves north into Canada, however gusty winds remain a concern with blizzard warnings remaining in effect for some 4.5 million residents in parts of the Dakotas and Minnesota.</p>
<p>As of late Thursday, the storm had dropped up to 25 inches in Norbeck, South Dakota, while the highest wind speed was recorded in Pueblo West, Colorado, where a &#8216;gustnado&#8217; briefly reached 107mph.</p></blockquote>
<p>I can&#8217;t remember another time when the Midwest was slammed by such a massive blizzard in April.  If you can find another example where snowfall totals of two feet of snow were accompanied by winds of 100 miles per hour during this month please let me know.</p>
<p>As I noted <a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-weakening-of-earths-magnetic-field-has-greatly-accelerated-and-that-could-have-apocalyptic-implications-for-all-of-us">yesterday</a>, we are seeing things happen that we have never seen before.</p>
<p>And if you think what we have witnessed so far is strange, just wait, because things are going to get a lot stranger&#8230;</p>

<blockquote><p>Dr Kaku told Fox News: “Forget the image of Yogi Bear representing Yellowstone.</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>We’re talking about a sleeping Godzilla underneath Yellowstone</strong>, that if it erupts in a maximum eruption called Category 8, it can <strong>literally tear the guts out of the United States of America</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>Instead of having 50 states of the Union, we would have 30 states of the Union.</strong>&#8220;</p></blockquote>
<p>We live at a time when seismic activity has been increasing all over the world, and Yellowstone has also been exhibiting very unusual behavior.</p>
<p>However, Dr. Kaku says that we shouldn&#8217;t worry too much, because he believes <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1088989/Yellowstone-volcano-eruption-destroy-usa-michio-kaku-supervolcano-yellowstone-news?utm_source=fark&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_content=link&amp;ICID=ref_fark">that we will get warnings about a Yellowstone eruption in advance</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>“Unlike a meteor from outer space, where you get no warning whatsoever, we get warnings.</p>
<p>“If you see movies like Pompeii, you know that there are days, in fact, weeks of eruptions building up, rumbling inside, underneath the pocket of lava.</p>
<p>“So there would be enough time, several weeks, to begin evacuation if and when such an unlikely event were to take place.”</p></blockquote>
<p>But what if we have been ignoring the warnings that we have already been getting?</p>
<p>For example, Steamboat geyser erupted more times in 2018 than in any other year in history.  The following comes from <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/02/some-yellowstone-geysers-getting-more-active-but-why-geology/">National Geographic</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory reports that Steamboat has now set a record by <a href="https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/">erupting a whopping 32 times in 2018</a>, a personal best for the geyser for a single calendar year. Previously, this geyser made it as high as 29 paroxysms back in 1964.</p>
<p>Other nearby geysers have also been behaving fairly interestingly of late. Ear Spring Geyser, for example, has been pretty quiet since 1957, but it erupted spectacularly a few months back—and sprayed <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/yellowstone-geyser-erupts-spews-decades-old-trash-2018-10-06/">human garbage from the 1930s</a> everywhere.</p></blockquote>
<p>Prior to last year, there had not been an eruption of the Steamboat geyser for three and a half years.</p>
<p>In addition, the ground under Yellowstone has been steadily rising for the last few years, and the area was hit by 121 earthquakes <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1079683/Yellowstone-volcano-earthquake-ground-rising-usgs-latest-yellowstone-news">in the month of December alone</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>“In the area of Norris Geyser Basin, GPS data indicate a minor amount of uplift over the past few months, with a total uplift of about 2cm during 2018, also continuing the trend that has been ongoing since 2015.”</p>
<p>In the same Yellowstone update, the USGS revealed a total of 121 earthquakes were recorded in the Yellowstone area in December 2018 alone.</p></blockquote>
<p>It is indeed possible that when Yellowstone finally erupts that we will get more of a warning than this.</p>
<p>But it is also possible that we will not.</p>
<p>When Yellowstone blows, life as you have known it will instantly be over.  If you are not in the immediate kill zone, you will have an opportunity to try to survive, but it won&#8217;t be easy.  One survivalist expert suggests that everyone should <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1073044/yellowstone-volcano-warning-head-east-eruptions-spt/amp">&#8220;head east as fast as you can&#8221;</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>He added: “Zone one, which is a radius of 100 miles, could see 70,000 people die instantly.</p>
<p>“Zone two, which starts after 100 miles, would be covered in 10ft of volcanic ash at 450C.</p>
<p>“After the second zone, your chances of surviving increase, but still head east as fast as you can.</p>
<p>“Beyond zone six is where you would be the safest in the US for the short term, but the wind will greatly determine where ash falls.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Personally, I don&#8217;t know if that is the best approach.  The roads will be absolutely clogged, and there is no way that you are going to outrun the volcanic ash.  If you get completely buried in volcanic ash in your vehicle, it will all be over.</p>
<p>Of course the truth is that if Yellowstone experiences a Category 8 eruption most Americans will eventually die no matter what they do.  The following is an extended excerpt <a href="http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/magma-under-the-yellowstone-supervolcano-is-rising-and-scientists-warn-that-an-eruption-would-devastate-the-entire-planet">from one of my previous articles</a>&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Hundreds of cubic miles of ash, rock and lava would be blasted into the atmosphere, and this would likely plunge much of the northern hemisphere into several days of complete darkness. Virtually everything within 100 miles of Yellowstone would be immediately killed, but a much more cruel fate would befall those that live in major cities outside of the immediate blast zone such as Salt Lake City and Denver.</em></p>
<p><em>Hot volcanic ash, rock and dust would rain down on those cities literally for weeks. In the end, it would be extremely difficult for anyone living in those communities to survive. In fact, it has been estimated that 90 percent of all people living within 600 miles of Yellowstone would be killed.</em></p>
<p><em>Experts project that such an eruption would dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away, and approximately two-thirds of the United States would suddenly become uninhabitable. The volcanic ash would severely contaminate most of our water supplies, and growing food in the middle of the country would become next to impossible.</em></p>
<p><em>In other words, it would be the end of our country as we know it today.</em></p>
<p><em>The rest of the planet, and this would especially be true for the northern hemisphere, would experience what is known as a “nuclear winter”. An extreme period of “global cooling” would take place, and temperatures around the world would fall by up to 20 degrees. Crops would fail all over the planet, and severe famine would sweep the globe.</em></p>
<p><em>In the end, billions could die.</em></p>
<p>Let us hope and pray that nothing like this happens any time soon.  Those of you that <a href="https://amzn.to/2V844Pw">regularly follow my work</a> already know that I am far more concerned about an eruption of Mt. Rainier, and we should also keep a very, very close eye on Mt. Fuji in Japan.</p>
<p>As our planet becomes increasingly unstable, there will be unprecedented natural disasters in the years ahead, and multitudes of people will die in those disasters.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, most of the &#8220;experts&#8221; continue to assure the public that everything is going to be &#8220;just fine&#8221;, but meanwhile the shaking of our planet just continues to get even worse with each passing year.</p>

<blockquote><p>SCIENTISTS are closely monitoring a 465-mile-long piece of molten rock rising below the Yellowstone caldera, a bombshell documentary has revealed.</p>
<p>The supervolcano, located in Yellowstone National Park, has erupted three times in history – 2.1 million years ago, 1.2 million years ago and 640,000 years ago. Volcanoes typically blow when molten rock, known as magma, rises to the surface following the Earth’s mantle melting due to tectonic plates shifting. However, geologists have revealed how Yellowstone&#8217;s magma chamber, which sits on top of the magma plume, is slowly rising each year.</p></blockquote>
<p>Hopefully nothing major will happen at Yellowstone for a very long time.</p>
<p>But experts assure us that another full-blown eruption will take place one day, and when it does, it could potentially create a global &#8220;volcanic winter&#8221; which would make growing crops almost impossible and ultimately cause horrific global famines.  The following quote comes from <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1067050/Yellowstone-volcano-national-park-map-2019-weather-news-Wyoming-supervolcano">Dr. Christopher Kilburn</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>“As a result of which, the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth drops and, as a consequence of that, it will trigger what is called a volcanic winter in that the temperatures never get a chance to recover.</p>
<p>“So you go through winter, the ash veil prevents the sun from warming up the earth seasonally so you just get continued winters which might trigger, ultimately, extensive ice coverage.”</p></blockquote>
<p>If Yellowstone were to erupt today, none of our lives would ever be the same again from that moment on.</p>
<p>We are talking about a disaster that is on a scale that most of us couldn&#8217;t even imagine, and it would instantly render most of the country completely uninhabitable.  The following is an extended excerpt <a title="from one of my previous articles" href="http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/there-have-been-296-earthquakes-in-the-vicinity-of-the-yellowstone-supervolcano-within-the-last-7-days">from one of my previous articles about Yellowstone</a>…</p>
<p><em>I would like to try to describe for you what a full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano would mean for this country.</em></p>
<p><em>Hundreds of cubic miles of ash, rock and lava would be blasted into the atmosphere, and this would likely plunge much of the northern hemisphere into several days of complete darkness. Virtually everything within 100 miles of Yellowstone would be immediately killed, but a much more cruel fate would befall those that live in major cities outside of the immediate blast zone such as Salt Lake City and Denver.</em></p>
<p><em>Hot volcanic ash, rock and dust would rain down on those cities literally for weeks. In the end, it would be extremely difficult for anyone living in those communities to survive. In fact, it has been estimated that 90 percent of all people living within 600 miles of Yellowstone would be killed.</em></p>
<p><em>Experts project that such an eruption would dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away, and approximately two-thirds of the United States would suddenly become uninhabitable. The volcanic ash would severely contaminate most of our water supplies, and growing food in the middle of the country would become next to impossible.</em></p>
<p><em>In other words, it would be the end of our country as we know it today.</em></p>
<p><em>The rest of the planet, and this would especially be true for the northern hemisphere, would experience what is known as a “nuclear winter”. An extreme period of “global cooling” would take place, and temperatures around the world would fall by up to 20 degrees. Crops would fail all over the planet, and severe famine would sweep the globe.</em></p>
<p><em>In the end, billions could die.</em></p>
<p>Scientists are constantly monitoring Yellowstone for potential signs of an eruption, but the truth is that a major disaster of this magnitude would probably come with little or no warning.</p>
<p>It is undeniable that in recent months there have been signs of increased activity at Yellowstone.  That doesn&#8217;t mean that an eruption is imminent, but without a doubt it should be a cause for concern.</p>
<p>And this is especially true considering all of the shaking that we are seeing elsewhere around the globe.  Just within the past few days we have seen a <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1071589/earthquakes-today-california-earthquake-alaska-anchorage-quakes-big-one">magnitude 4.1 earthquake hit California</a> and a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Anchorage, Alaska.  The latter one <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1071574/alsaka-earthquake-anchorage-latest-updates-usgs-ring-of-fire-tsunami-warning">definitely shook a lot of people up</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Residents took to earthquake monitoring site EMSC to share their experiences. One said: “Long and big. Significant anxiety spike!</p>
<p>Another added: “That was scary. Hard quake.”</p></blockquote>
<p>We are not even to the middle of January, and there have already been more than 100 significant earthquakes in Alaska so far this year.</p>
<p>That is not normal.</p>
<p>Our planet appears to be going through some major changes, and many believe that all of this seismic activity is an indication that things are about to become <a href="https://amzn.to/2SSNzq6">quite apocalyptic</a>.  I am personally of the opinion that we are going to continue to see a rise in the number of earthquakes and that we are going to continue to see a rise in the number of volcanic eruptions.</p>
<p>As I have said before, the shell of our planet is cracked, and we are just floating on the pieces.  Now those pieces appear to be getting increasingly unstable, and that is going to affect us in ways that most people cannot even imagine right now.</p>

<blockquote><p>A <strong>massive swarm of locusts</strong> plagued Mecca, Saudi Arabia, earlier this week, prompting authorities at Islam’s holiest site to launch a cleaning operation to remove them.</p>
<p>Videos posted to social media showed the insects swarming around cleaners and worshipers in the city’s Grand Mosque, where millions of Muslim pilgrims congregate every year.</p></blockquote>
<p><center><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f6tedU2UZLo" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></center>And this was not just a temporary phenomenon.  Once the locusts arrived, they didn&#8217;t want to leave, and it is being reported that they were <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6577871/Huge-swarm-locusts-descends-Mecca.html">&#8220;covering the walls of the mosque&#8221;</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A closer-up view shows them swarming in all directions, over the heads of the cleaners in green uniforms attempting to deal with them.</p>
<p>Another shot shows the insects <strong>covering the walls of the mosque</strong> as they swarmed across the site.</p></blockquote>
<p>According to Saudi authorities, it took 22 teams consisting of a total of 138 people to clean up the infestation.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the behavior of our planet is once again making headlines.  According to scientists, the magnetic North Pole is making a &#8220;sudden shift&#8221; away from Canada and <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1070131/north-pole-canada-siberia-moving">toward Russia</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Deep beneath the Earth’s surface, liquid iron is sloshing around at its core, causing the North Pole <strong>to move away from Canada and towards Siberia</strong>. This has caused global geomagnetism experts to undergo an <strong>urgent update</strong> of the World Magnetic Model where it will alter where exactly North Pole is. The next update was not scheduled to happen until 2020, but due to <strong>the North Pole’s sudden shift</strong>, researchers have to bring it forward.</p></blockquote>
<p>These days the vast majority of us heavily use GPS to get around, and the rapid movement of the magnetic North Pole <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1070131/north-pole-canada-siberia-moving">is causing serious navigation errors</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Precision of where the North Pole is needed for GPS across the globe, and currently is is close to exceeding “the acceptable (safe) limit for navigational errors,” the journal Nature reports.</p>
<p>Arnaud Chulliat, a geomagnetist at the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Centers for Environmental Information, said: “The error is increasing all the time.</p>
<p>“The fact that the pole is going fast makes this region more prone to large errors.”</p></blockquote>
<p>In essence, GPS is losing its GPS.</p>
<p>Of course the magnetic North Pole has always been moving a little bit, but in recent years that movement <a href="https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/earths-magnetic-pole-is-on-the-move-fast-and-we-dont-know-why/news-story/341c92307a6b19d25b38836c6097be9d">has been greatly accelerating</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>But the movement of the north magnetic pole has been the object of study since 1831. Initially, it was tracked moving into the Arctic Ocean at a rate of about 15km each year. But, since the mid 1990s, it has picked up speed.</p>
<p>It’s now shifting at a rate of about 55km a year.</p></blockquote>
<p>At the same time, Earth&#8217;s magnetic field has been getting weaker and weaker, and this has many experts deeply concerned that we could soon experience a catastrophic pole flip.  The following comes from <a href="http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/experts-warn-of-a-cataclysmic-flip-of-earths-magnetic-field-as-a-mysterious-anomaly-under-the-continent-of-africa-causes-it-to-weaken">one of my previous articles</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>The Earth’s magnetic field is steadily getting weaker, and scientists are warning that it could soon flip. If that happens, it will be a cataclysmic event beyond anything that we have ever experienced before. Of course most people never even give much thought to the giant magnetic field that surrounds our planet, but without it modern society would simply not be possible. The magnetic field provides protection for the electrical grid which powers our homes, our businesses, our hospitals, our stores, our banks, our computers and our televisions. It is essentially an enormous “force field” that protects our world from solar storms and cosmic radiation. Right now we take that protection for granted, but scientists tell us that Earth’s magnetic field has flipped before, and that it could soon happen again.</p></blockquote>
<p>Basically, we are talking about an event that would be even worse than a direct hit from a massive electromagnetic pulse from the sun.</p>
<p>If a sudden pole flip happened today, electronic devices all over the world would be crippled, and scientists tell us that we would be facing <a title="“trillions of dollars in damage”" href="https://www.foxnews.com/science/speedy-flip-in-earths-magnetic-field-could-cause-trillions-in-damage-scientists-warn" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&#8220;trillions of dollars in damage&#8221;</a>…</p>
<blockquote><p>According to a team of international scientists, including from the Australian National University (ANU), such an event in the future would increase our planet’s exposure to the Sun’s radiation, and could cause trillions of dollars in damage by decimating power and communications systems across the globe.</p></blockquote>
<p>We truly live <a href="https://amzn.to/2VLa6Hd">in apocalyptic times</a>, although most people still don&#8217;t seem to understand what is happening.</p>
<p>Our planet is changing.  Earlier this week I wrote about the fact that Alaska had been hit <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/north-america-is-rattling-there-have-been-81-significant-earthquakes-in-alaska-so-far-in-2019">by 81 significant earthquakes</a> during the first nine days of 2019.  Large quakes are rattling locations all along the Ring of Fire, once dormant volcanoes are going off like firecrackers all over the globe, and the tsunami that just struck Indonesia once again reminded us of how vulnerable we really are to major natural disasters.</p>
<p>Right now the mainstream media in the United States is keenly focused on <a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-mainstream-media-warns-america-will-be-facing-an-economic-hellscape-if-the-government-shutdown-continues">the government shutdown</a>, but in the grander scheme of things the shutdown is small potatoes compared to some of the other things that are happening.</p>
<p>2019 has gotten off to a very strange start, and I have a feeling that things are about to get a whole lot stranger.</p>

<p>Tonight, large numbers of Anchorage residents are suddenly homeless, and that includes <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/11/30/earthquake-strikes-near-anchorage-tsunami-warning-issued/2163178002/">Alaska&#8217;s most famous politician</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="speakable-p-2 p-text">Light fixtures fell, glass shattered, roadways and supermarket aisles were awash from food spilled from broken jars. Video images showed some roadways had collapsed.  One man tweeted a photo of his toppled chimney and a local television station showed its studio filled with debris.</p>

Our family is intact &#8211; house is not&#8230; I imagine that’s the case for many, many others. So thankful to be safe; praying for our state following the earthquake.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>At this point it is extremely difficult to get around Anchorage.  Numerous roads were shredded by the quake and that includes <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6447683/6-6-magnitude-earthquake-rocks-buildings-Anchorage.html">the only road to Wasilla</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>The quake was so strong it broke windows, cracked buildings and knocked local news station KTUU off air. Several highway and local roads crumbled in the temblor, stranding cars in the asphalt mess. The shake also broke up the only road connecting Anchorage and the nearby towns of Wasilla and Palmer.</p></blockquote>
<p>It is going to take an extended period of time for authorities to assess the economic damage and to figure out how many human casualties there were.</p>
<p>Many took cover under desks and in closets as the shaking happened, but those caught out in the open didn&#8217;t have anywhere to go.</p>
<p>One local resident named Melissa Lohr said that it <a href="https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/alaska-earthquake/index.html">&#8220;felt like the ground was gonna open up&#8221;</a> underneath her&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It felt like my car was uncontrollably sliding left and right and I just didn’t understand because it was going perfectly fine up until then. It felt like the ground was gonna open up underneath you,&#8221; Lohr said.</p></blockquote>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>In the aftermath of this Anchorage earthquake, many are wondering how long it will be before the west coast is struck by a major quake.</p>
<p>And the truth is that we have already been seeing quite a bit of shaking.  In fact, a rather sizable earthquake did hit southern California <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1052092/california-earthquake-san-diego-tijuana-el-centro-pacific-ring-of-fire-big-one-earthquake">very early on Thursday morning</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A 4.1 earthquake has rattled California and parts of Mexico, with San Diego among the cities hit.</p>
<p>The earthquake struck California at 5.48am, waking up many residents in the south of the state and north-west Mexico. One resident said on earthquake tracking website EMSC-CSEM: “The roof creaked and the ground rumbled.” Another reported: “It woke me up.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Those that have been living in California have been hearing about &#8220;the Big One&#8221; for decades, but it hasn&#8217;t happened yet.</p>
<p>So many of them have been lulled into a false sense of security, but that is a huge mistake.</p>
<p>According to Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby, when &#8220;the Big One&#8221; finally does hit, large portions of the coastline <a title="that this could actually happen someday" href="http://unexplainedmysteriesoftheworld.com/archives/scientists-warn-that-the-coming-california-megaquake-could-plunge-large-portions-of-the-state-into-the-ocean" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">could be plunged into the ocean &#8220;relatively instantaneously&#8221;</a>…</p>
<div id="stcpDiv">
<blockquote><p>Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby, who worked with the Leeper on the study, said the sinking would occur quickly and <strong>likely result in part of California being covered by the sea</strong>.</p>
<p>“It’s something that would happen relatively instantaneously,” Prof Kirby said. <strong>“Probably today if it happened, you would see seawater rushing in.”</strong></p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>Further north, the Cascadia Subduction Zone is a major concern.</p>
<p>Scientists assure us that someday a massive earthquake will strike along the Cascadia Subduction Zone which will destroy pretty much everything west of Interstate 5.  The following comes <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/you-have-been-warned-experts-tell-us-that-a-cascadia-subduction-zone-earthquake-and-tsunami-will-destroy-everything-west-of-interstate-5">from one of my previous articles</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>One day it will happen.  With little or no warning, the Cascadia Subduction Zone will produce a catastrophic earthquake and accompanying tsunami that will essentially destroy everything west of Interstate 5 in the Pacific Northwest.  It will be the worst natural disaster up to that point in American history, and as you will see below, the experts are saying that we are completely and utterly unprepared for it.  Of course the San Andreas Fault gets more publicity, but the truth is that the Cascadia Subduction Zone is capable of producing a quake “almost 30 times more energetic” than anything the San Andreas Fault can produce.  The Cascadia Subduction Zone stretches from northern Vancouver Island all the way down to northern California, and one expert recently told <a title="CBN News" href="http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2018/october/deadly-one-two-punch-killer-quake-and-massive-tsunami-likely-to-devastate-northwest-experts-warn" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CBN News</a> that all of the major cities in the region are essentially “built on a time bomb”…</p></blockquote>
<p>For years I have <a href="https://amzn.to/2Q46il6">been warning about the instability of the west coast</a>, and this earthquake in Alaska should be a major wake up call.</p>
<p>The west coast is home to the core of our tech industry and some of the most expensive real estate in the entire world, but the clock is ticking for that entire region.</p>
<p>Without warning, someday &#8220;the Big One&#8221; will literally shred the entire coastline, and it will be a disaster unlike anything that we have ever seen before in American history.</p>

<p>Most of the <a href="https://earthquaketrack.com/p/united-states/california/recent">39 significant earthquakes</a> that have struck California within the last 24 hours have happened along the San Andreas Fault.  The following comes <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-earthquake-today-4-1-magnitude-quake-felt-in-salinas-hollister-along-the-san-andreas-fault/">from CBS News</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A swarm of earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault, the largest measuring a 4.1 magnitude, rumbled through the Hollister area and the Salinas Valley Friday morning. CBS San Francisco, citing officials, <a href="https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/11/02/quake-swarm-rattles-hollister-residents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports </a>the quakes rattled nerves but caused no major damage.</p>
<p>According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the 4.1 quake hit at 5:58 a.m. PDT 12 miles southwest of the small community of Tres Pinos. It was followed by quakes measuring 3.6, 3.2 and 3.0.</p></blockquote>
<p>Officials are saying that this shaking was caused by <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/earthquakes/article/Four-earthquakes-near-Salinas-shake-California-13357486.php">&#8220;movement along the San Andreas Fault system&#8221;</a>, and the initial magnitude 4.1 quake was quickly followed by a series of <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/earthquakes/article/Four-earthquakes-near-Salinas-shake-California-13357486.php">more than 20 aftershocks</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>After a magnitude 4.1 earthquake struck 12 miles from Hollister at 5:58 a.m., more than 20 aftershocks rattled the area in the following hours. The smaller quakes registered as high as 3.6 magnitude and were felt as far away as Monterey and Santa Cruz.</p></blockquote>
<p>When you live in an area that sits along a major earthquake fault, it can be easy to forget the potential danger if nothing happens for an extended period of time.</p>
<p>But the danger is always there, and for many California residents the rattling that we witnessed on Friday was a clear reminder of that fact.</p>
<p>Thankfully, these earthquakes did not cause substantial damage, but local residents <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1039944/california-earthquake-tremors-felt-quake-US-earthquake-big-one-fears">were definitely shaken up</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>One in Hollister said: “Was asleep, felt like someone was shaking the bed.”</p>
<p>Another resident in Monterey Bay expressed concern <strong>that recent quakes could indicate a major earthquake &#8211; commonly known as the ‘Big One’ &#8211; could be on the way</strong>.</p>
<p>They wrote: “Been feeling a lot of tremors the last several months.</p>
<p>“The Hayward Fault is overdue and coming to thump. Any time now. It&#8217;s definitely coming relatively soon.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Hopefully this current shaking will fizzle out and things will go back to normal.</p>
<p>But experts tell us that California is definitely overdue for a major earthquake and that &#8220;the Big One&#8221; <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1039944/california-earthquake-tremors-felt-quake-US-earthquake-big-one-fears">will happen at some point</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Experts say California is overdue for a huge earthquake with some warning a major magnitude 7.0 is likely within the next 30 years.</p>
<p>A 2008 report by USGS described the Hayward Fault, which runs to the east of San Francisco, as a “tectonic time bomb” which could threaten the city’s seven million residents.</p></blockquote>
<p>And when &#8220;the Big One&#8221; does strike, it could potentially be far worse than most people have ever imagined.</p>
<p>In <a href="http://unexplainedmysteriesoftheworld.com/archives/scientists-warn-that-the-coming-california-megaquake-could-plunge-large-portions-of-the-state-into-the-ocean">a previous article</a>, I quoted from a news story about a recent study that concluded that a major earthquake could potentially <a title="from one of them" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4336986/Ancient-quakes-point-sinking-risk-California-coast.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&#8220;plunge large parts of California into the sea almost instantly&#8221;</a>…</p>
<blockquote><p>The Big One may be overdue to hit California, but scientists near LA have found a new risk for the area during a major earthquake.</p>
<p>They claim that if a major tremor hits the area, <strong>it could plunge large parts of California into the sea almost instantly</strong>.</p>
<p>The discovery was made after studying the Newport-Inglewood fault, which has long been believed to be one of Southern California’s danger zones.</p></blockquote>
<p>When I first read that, I was absolutely stunned.</p>
<p>But according to Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby, there is a very strong possibility <a href="http://unexplainedmysteriesoftheworld.com/archives/scientists-warn-that-the-coming-california-megaquake-could-plunge-large-portions-of-the-state-into-the-ocean">that this could actually happen someday</a>…</p>
<div id="stcpDiv">
<blockquote><p>Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby, who worked with the Leeper on the study, said the sinking would occur quickly and <strong>likely result in part of California being covered by the sea</strong>.</p>
<p>“It’s something that would happen relatively instantaneously,” Prof Kirby said. <strong>“Probably today if it happened, you would see seawater rushing in.”</strong></p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>The fact that our planet is entering a time of unprecedented seismic activity has been a major theme in my work <a href="https://amzn.to/2PHsRLC">for a very long time</a>, and I am particularly concerned about the west coast.  Just a few weeks ago, there was some unusual shaking farther north <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/you-have-been-warned-experts-tell-us-that-a-cascadia-subduction-zone-earthquake-and-tsunami-will-destroy-everything-west-of-interstate-5">along the Cascadia Subduction Zone</a>, and I anticipate that the shaking of coastal areas will continue to intensify until things finally break loose.</p>
<p>And the truth is that we can see signs of impending change all around us.  Down in southern California, a &#8220;moving sinkhole&#8221; is now traveling up to 60 feet a day, and it is <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6343583/The-bubbling-stinking-mud-pool-cause-chaos-San-Andreas-fault.html">&#8220;destroying everything in its path&#8221;</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>It is the beginning of the San Andreas fault, where experts fear &#8216;The Big One&#8217; could begin.</p>
<p>But a small, bubbling pool of mud that stinks of rotting eggs near the Salton Sea is causing concern.</p>
<p>Dubbed &#8216;the slow one&#8217;, experts studying the phenomenon say it is similar to a &#8216;moving sinkhole&#8217; &#8211; and is speeding up, destroying everything in its path.</p>
<p>Imperial County officials studying the muddy spring say it has has been increasing in speed through &#8211; first 60 feet over a few months, and then 60 feet in a single day.</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course this is not just a west coast phenomenon.  We have been witnessing unusual seismic activity all over the world, and it has become very clear that our planet is becoming increasingly unstable.</p>
<p>Natural disasters are going to continue to grow worse and worse, and that is going to have extremely serious implications for all of us.</p>
