    many moons, check out dutchsinse on you tube, on the subject of HAARP being used to create and steer various weather fronts, rainstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. Dutch does such good work that he was beset by a pestilence of trolls, was threatened, etc.

    Actually, his best friend was SHOT – in the friend's own bedroom one morning in St. Louis. I have not followed up on that. It was an apparently motiveless crime. His friend was badly wounded but rather miraculously not killed.

    One story I remember Dutch telling is about a big storm that was actually steered AROUND a military or air force base that was in its path! (And he is not at all airy-fairy etc. – very science based.)

    • many moons

      Thanks bleep I'll check it out. Have you heard about a strange metal screeching sound that seems to come from no where? I heard it. Just once about 6-8 months ago. It's very strange and it originates in a place and passes by you. It doesn't seem very high up in the sky, maybe 20-30 feet and it's very loud. You wonder what could make that sound. It doesn't come from an object or event and it seems to move. I wonder if it's connected to the HAARPS and the tornados etc.

      • StillJill StillJill

        manymoons,…rings true to me when hearing your description.
        That, or earth-shift, high pitched release of a little *pressure*.

        O.K., I won't even go there.

        • many moons

          I tried to research to see if the HAARP makes a sound but came up with nothing.
          I remember I was in alabama whaen I heard the noise but I can't remember if it was before those monster tornados blew through the state after.
          That day the tornados started at 5am and continued throughout the day. The weather man kept telling us the worst was yet to come. I've never seen tornados predicted hours in advance?????

          • PoorDaddy PoorDaddy

            Hi mm
            Here's a youtube link. This is a short compilation from dif areas. At about 9 min., there is an interesting one that makes a short sound, but looks like 2 tornadoes meeting end to end. There are many on youtube. Try HAARP noises or HAARP sounds search.

  • Heart of the Rose Heart of the Rose

    Some UFO sightings..methinks is HAARP.

    My best link to this … already gone…sheesh.
    I'm taking the evening off..drink coffee..and muse about Building Seven.LOL.night all.

  • bleep_hits_blades

    Problem with 'UFO sightings' is, are they off-planet or of terrestrial (black ops, secret ops) origin? Very hard to know for sure, given that REAL technology is WAY ahead of what they tell us the sheeple about.

    People are shown a photo of a distant white disc in the sky. Well, first of all, is it photo-shopped, and second, is it a craft of secret terrestrial technology, like from the famous Area 51?

  • Supposedly the nuke plants used to supply 30% of Japan's electrical needs, now it is only 4% and yet things are pretty normal. That doesn't really make sense.

    Cool chart here

    Your comment is abusive and insulting and here is why…you pretend that the boom potential of fuel melting is somehow eliminated by the difference between Pressurize­d Water Reactor and Boiling Water Reactor. The BWR is more old school and the water and steam that run the turbines go directly through the reactor. On the PWR you have a separation between "hell" and the turbines through a set of heat exchangers­.

    But the boom potential is not lessened, you just don't have a highly radioactiv­e turbine (mostly just tritium). Now the bad part is that these heat exhangers now become a massive failure point.

    Back in the BWR day, you knew that any part of the system could spew radiation. In the PWR dream, you didnt have to worry about the turbine side, unless of course substandar­d steel alloys were being bought from China and put into the system, and failing, alllowing the hellishly radioactiv­e water to jump from the hell side to the supposedly safe side. —even easier to release to environmen­t

    "Geez you need to get some proper schooling"­, now that really is abusive. Its a pot shot. It is unnecessar­y for the decorum of this communicat­ion channel that Huff Post is kind enough to offer as a venue for education and discussion­.

  • Further to the troll

    And that is what is happening these days as nukies are harder pressed to compete with cheap energy sources like solar and wind, and natural gas. They are taking shortcuts on materials and safety, and it is blowing up in their faces. BOOM

    I do expect this dying Bronto, the nuke cabal, to rear its ugly head a few times before sinking into the primordial ooze, but the future is clear.

  • trinityfly trinityfly

    I really can not belive anyone not commenting on what I think is huge. This is a link to a video showing all the seismic activity around the world with the size and time of the seismic event. What is happening is not normal. When you watch this video, you will be freaked when you see what is going on in the Japan region. Talk about HARRP, talk about what ever you want, but something big is happening and is not showing any signs of stopping. Check it out.

      I wonder how many there were in 2010 or 09

    • dharmasyd

      Trinityfly @…It does look like an impressive increase. I noted your post, but I did not comment as I am following so many things. This may be the most important, and I may be missing it. Thanks.

    • ruth

      I posted this same video that Dutchsinse had posted on his site about 10 days ago on my Facebook. I got one comment "Wow".

      I think it is an awesome scary video and it should convince anyone watching that something very scary is happening in the Pacific Rim. It is like a cauldron of fire.

      • ruth

        I live about 1 1/2 hours south of the Oregon border on the California coast where we have regular small earthquakes and where the southern edge of the Juan de Fuca subduction plate is. This is the only area in the Pacific rim that has been rather silent seismetric wise. If and when it goes off, it could be a 9.0 with a tsunami from hell. I watch the Pacific Rim earthquakes daily to see if the Juan de Fuca plate is starting to heat up. If you watch this 2011 time lapse of Pacific Rim earthquakes you will see that the entire pacific Rim is boiling with eartquakes except for the Juan de Fuca area. It is coming.

        • trinityfly trinityfly

          I totally agree Ruth….I live in the south corner of B.C….and its like the calm before the storm….That video speaks volumes. They are suggesting a 9 or a 10 here in the pacific northwest. Surfs up …….

          • Laterlukemayb Laterlukemayb

            I sure would like to know the coordinates of just where off of the coast of Japan Russia was dumping all that nuclear waste for so many years. I had a thought that maybe it wasn't nuclear waste at all but explosives. Years and years worth of, or millions of millions of tons of explosives with a final blasting charge to set it all off and triggering the quake along the fault line with the express purpose of damaging the Fukushima power plants, knowing that the radioactive release would travel the jet stream to the U.S.

            • BreadAndButter BreadAndButter

              Hi Laterluke….get out of the rabbit hole, will you? please? :-)
              Why is it so hard to imagine that the forces of nature and shifting earth plates / subduction zones cause these quakes?
              This thread could've been a wonderful exchange of knowledge, I mean real, scientific knowledge! Instead folks go on and on about HAARP, Jesse Ventura, satanic elites, and now UFOs and explosives thrown into fault lines by the Russians to harm the US….I mean, come on! You know better!
              Critical thinking!

              *peace

        • ageezerofgiza

          I found the time-lapse video quite astonishing. There seemed to be 3 centres of extreme activity –
          Japan,
          somewhere just north of NZ and
          Chile.
          Can any seismologist come on here and explain why this is so, and does it portend anything? And also, why is the California area so quiet?

    • enoughalready45 enoughalready45

      @trinityfly

      Yes, I agree something unusual is happening. My theory is that the 9.0 quake impacted some faults that were dormant/stuck and now they are active/unstuck. I think these quakes could go either way and nobody can predict if it will slow down or get worse. My understanding is that this was the largest earthquake Japan has ever experienced and the 4th largest earthquake ever recorded on earth! So if you have ever seen video of liquifaction, here is one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn3oAvmZY8k, you can just imagine what a 9.0 quake did to the geography underground.

      Just a side note the liquifaction video is of a park made of landfill in Tokyo bay. Can you imagine with all the radioactive ash they are dumping in Tokyo bay the radioactive liquifaction bubbling up from there in the future. Unbelievable!!!

      I would not be surprised to check this website one morning or mid-afternoon and see the whole damm nuclear plant as a smoking, steaming pile of rubble (more than it already is).

  • These plants aren't safe. Fukushima 3 blew up in a prompt criticality that aerosolized at least 10's of tons of uranium into the atmosphere which was measure in Guam, Hawaii, San Francisco. The density of the uranium was 2600% higher than baseline. To achieve that density over that wide an area can tell through a simple enough equation that at least a few 10's of TONS of uranium was launched.

    Proof is here, all the details. Stop in drop a comment.

    Former UN Advisor: Many scientists are emphasizing precarious situation of Fukushima Spent Fuel Pool No. 4 — If rods spill onto ground, it will force Tokyo and Yokohama to close

    “I, along with many eminent scientists, are emphasizing the precarious situation of the fourth reactor that contains 1,535 nuclear fuel rods in the pool and is balanced on the second floor, outside of the reactor containment vessel. If the fuel rods spill onto the ground, disaster will ensue and force Tokyo and Yokohama to close, creating a gigantic evacuation zone. All scientists I have talked with say that if the structure collapses we will be in a situation well beyond where science has ever gone. The destiny of Japan will be changed and the disaster will certainly compromise the security of neighboring countries and the rest of the world in terms of health, migration and geopolitics. The Japanese government should immediately create an independent assessment team to determine the structural integrity of the spent fuel pool and its supporting structure. This is of the highest importance: the structure’s security is critical to the country’s future.”

  • bleep_hits_blades

    Dutchsinse does good work!

    Is xstatic a troll? Sounds like one. Very rude.

    The above post about SFP 4 – this is my biggest nightmare at present. I know that if it goes, I should leave Hawaii. I just do not feel up to doing anything like that. So I am looking at 'the end.'

    My sons both live on the West Coast. I can't tell them what to do.

    But they should leave too. Leave their homes, their jobs….

  • bleep_hits_blades

    Should xstatic be reported to admin.?

  • bleep_hits_blades

    Well, thanks, MaidenHeaven, I so appreciate your good words and concern. Actually I COULD move. Not financially secure forever but I could do it.

    You are kind of motivating me. I will give it some serious thought.

    Where do you live?

    I have seriously considered moving to Ecuador. I have spent a little time in Mexico and at one point had pretty good 'Tienda Spanish', and it would come back quickly.

    Already, I know I have plutonium radionuclides in my lungs. My going could motivate my sons. My younger son is very savvy to what is happening. Just SO hard to leave everything. He has a pretty good life, all things considered, where he is.

    My older son is one of those Ph.D. professionals 'in denial.' Not sure where he is at on all of this.

    BTW if you fly, wear a mask. More radio-nuclides up there, I have read.

  • bleep_hits_blades

    Yes, trinityfly – most people here are just much more respectful than that. (And come across as much smarter.)

    I have read that there are people whose job it is to surf the net and just drop spoiler comments like that. Try to create trouble. Distract people. etc.

    What a world …and what a scuzzy way to make a few bucks, eh?

  • MaidenHeaven MaidenHeaven

    I am on the east cost of Canada. I do hope you do. It is always hard to move & can be scary, you have a major advantage if you know Spanish & hey there is Youtube & websites to learn more ;.

    And motivating 1 son bleep_hits_blades would be worth it wouldn't? You might also motivate other people.

    AGreenRoad that may very well happen, but if one good person can live longer & motivate others then I think they should. You could just as easily get killed by a bus as I nearly did today.

    A bus was coming down the hill towards the crosswalk where I was planning to cross, I stepped back in time. The bus did stop, but the front wheels were completely over the crosswalk when he did. I have to give him some credit, He opened the door and Thanked me for stopping & apologized. And waited until I had crossed safely.

    AGreenRoad (The Carrington Effect) hmm a simple & maybe effective reason to give to Stop All Nukes.

  • bleep_hits_blades

    I did report xstatic to admin. First time I have ever reported anyone, or thought anyone here was a troll. (But despite my years, I am the naive and trusting type. However xstatic needs to tone it down if he expects to 'pass' as anything but a paid troll.)

  • bleep_hits_blades

    I am considering it MaidenHeaven. I will even check into the price of tickets tomorrow online. And make a list of things I must do before I could leave. For me it would not be that hard, at least to leave for 3 months but not 'burn all my bridges.'

    Good that you were spared! People like you are needed.

    Re the Carrington Effect – a guy who was on Alex Jones radio on this subject was very informed and said that govts could buy something that would react to a big sudden overload by switching the power systems off briefly and thus saving them from getting fried. This device would cost about what a high tech bomber (B52? I forget – no, a Stealth) costs. But, is govt. doing this. NO. (Of course not.)

    • MaidenHeaven MaidenHeaven

      Thanks :)

      I do find it interesting that they will tell us about the The Carrington Effect but refuse to even mention the current radiation dangers. Another example if they do think it will be a ELE then they are trying to get the last dollar out of our grubby hands while they can. And I would suspect that at least the elite have looked into others sources of energy. RE: Government I think their only concern is the President (after all he is usually bought by them ;) & so he will looked after.

    • ruth

      I read somewhere that you should take the USGS historical earthquake data with a grain of salt. Some think it has been manipulated. I haven't bothered to research to see if there is any validity to this. I have lived for more than 40 years and I know that earthquakes and volcanoes are far more active in the past 10-12 years than ever before.

  • bleep_hits_blades

    re the Carrington effect or event – South America would be a better place to be, because the Southern Hemisphere has far fewer nuclear power plants. Most of them are in the USA, Japan, and Europe.

    I sure would like to get some more detailed info on the mixing of the air supplies of No. and So. Hemispheres. We know that such info exists, but is not being made readily available, even online, at least not that I have been able to find. I could make a request to a librarian. Hey, that is a good idea! Will do that tomorrow.

    See, MaidenHeaven, you are motivating me. Stirring me from my 'I give up/It's hopeless' torpor…

    • ageezerofgiza

      Radiation in the troposphere is somewhat blocked by so-called Intertropical Convergence Zone, or in sensible language, The Equator. But the stuff gets through eventually.

      Any stuff making it into the stratosphere just whizzes over unimpeded. {Above the weather}

      I've seen readings from Victoria, and a general report about a "cloud" arriving in New Zealand, so the stuff is there.

      They will doubtless experience a lower degree of airborne radiation, and a substantial lag in time, but they will not escape. Also the Pacific currents will take the stuff there well before, say, the Atlantic Ocean or Indian Ocean.

      Maybe the day will come when Emigration / Immigration will be banned or made very difficult. [Radiation refugees need not apply!]

    dharmasyd – very good! or-well is inspiring us to unleash our creativity.

    There is so much creativity and potential in people. If only we had a society that nurtured and valued that – what a world it could be…

    People say this kind of thing all the time, but in this case I think it is true – we have a very special group of people here on enenews and of course I include admin. in that, who is making it all possible.

    I related on one of these threads a while back that about 35 years ago I had a sort of esp experience in which I was given a vision about nuclear disaster. I felt a buzzing vibration emanating from the third eye point and then in mind's eye 'saw' a crowd of people running, running, then turning to see a big mushroom cloud. Then I had a vision of an innocent little child about as old as my older son was at the time. Mentally I felt grateful for this and said thanks.

    At the time I thought, well, I am the last person to be telling about the dangers of nuclear power, because I know that already, and the whole thing is out of my hands, alas … but lately that experience has come back to me and I wonder if on the spirit or soul level we here on enenews.com are in some way one of many such groups and individuals who have a role to play in this horrible crisis… even if we all do end up 'going down with the ship.'

    • dharmasyd

      Thanks bleep…Let me offer a few lines from a very long poem, based on a child at Hiroshima…
      (pause first, and take a breath)

      "Imagination is captured by the image of a girl
      Seared into the pavement of the bridge
      She probably felt no pain
      Going at the speed of light
      In that diaspora between
      Daliance and disappearnce…"

      It's a long poem, 7 pages. Too long to post here.

      Thanks for your appreciation.

  • MaidenHeaven MaidenHeaven

    Well said dharmasyd.

    I know that even just talking about it prevents people from feeling so alone & gives them strength to speak out more. So even if some "end up 'going down with the ship" someone will keep on talking about it.

    Well goodnite nite for now :)

  • bleep_hits_blades

    dharmasyd -

    I am actually a lit. major, and a visual artist, who never had the ego strength to pursue a career. But I love art and literature.

    In fact I have poems I have written and perhaps I will put one or two of them here. I seem only to write poetry when I am a bit 'hypo-manic' – which I only get in times of crisis. But that is what we have now! Maybe I will get a bit hypo-manic – which is great fun, actually – and write some more poems.

    In fact since I am rather hyper tonight, in a very pleasant rather wine-soaked way, I might rummage around and find my MS and put one of them up.

    Of course by then, everyone will have gone to bed… being in Hawaii, it is not that late here.

  • bleep_hits_blades

    dharmasyd here is a poem I wrote.

    Maybe you and or-well – and this crisis – will bring the poet in me alive once more – and I will write again.

    The Color

    of shadows the color of rain

    the color of clouds bringing rain, the color

    of the eye of sorrow

    beneath a film of tears

    I saw

    in the flint eye of some unknown bird

    that flew by

    regarding me not

    the color of the imagined heart

    of clouds, where they begin…

    the color

    of the imaginings

    of the person I am

    in my deepest

    most forgotten

    dreams

    I shall paint you that color

    and like a lime-green chameleon

    with swiveling art-deco eyes ringing

    like echoes, like

    a substanceless undulating octopus

    of palest pink and orange

    silent flowing like water

    like the breathing cone-shaped speckled rubber

    shell

    rippling with slow waves,

    of the strange egg of some strange bird

    flowing like water between selves

    and worlds I shall assume

    that color too and we

    without knowing or intending

    or even noticing

    shall assume the color of mind

    of a child who sees

    who and what

    she knew before

    and loves best.
