Prepare for a Human Rights Catastrophe in Ivory Coast

It would seem that despite the protestations of probably the most knowledgeable person about Africa in the U.S. Senate, Laurent Gbagbo’s days are numbered.

After a series of victories in key strategic towns across the Ivory Coast, forces loyal to internationally recognized presidential claimant Alassane Ouattara are poised to advance on Abidjan. And all the while, the circle is tightening around Gbagbo. Last night, the Security Council slapped sanctions on Gbagbo, his wife, and a top lieutenants. Today, his top military commanders defected to the South African embassy with his family today.

The question is: will he go quietly or put up a fight? There are about 9,000 UN peacekeepers in Abidjan with a mandate to protect civilians. But their movement has been restricted by armed groups loyal to Gbagbo. There is also a healthy contingent of French troops, who are well armed and well co-ordinated and have a mandate to support UNOCI. These troops could be the decisive in preventing a large scale human rights violations from being visited upon civilians in Abidjan.

That is very much within the realm of possibility. Amnesty International warns of a potential human rights catastrophe in Abidjan.   Human Rights Watch has already documented a case in which forces loyal to Laurent Gbagbo massacred 37 villagers, presumed to be Liberians, in a western town in Ivory Coast:

At least four cars carrying pro-Gbagbo militiamen attacked the village, witnesses said. They were armed with automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and machetes.

The witnesses said the militiamen killed the immigrants inside their homes and as they attempted to flee. They pillaged and burned houses, looting any items of value, including motorcycles, money, televisions, mattresses and clothing.

A 28-year-old Malian man told Human Rights Watch: “At around 3pm we heard the sound of heavy trucks coming and ran into our houses. The men fired into the air, then started breaking down the doors‚ saying: ‘Fire, fire’ and ‘You’re rebels, we’ll kill all of you’.

This could get really ugly.  Really soon.

Part of a greater Earth Changes catastrophe?

Update: A second explosion has rocked Japan’s troubled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, leaving three workers injured and seven other missing, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.

An 800 meter cloud of radioactive death was released, but authorities say all is well.

Doomsday Catastrophe:

$1 Trillion in direct damage caused by Japan Earthquake$10 Trillion in derivative, insurance and lost productivity in the financial systemFurther pressure on the already collapsing House of Glass Global economyEcological disaster bigger that Gulf spill caused by billions of liters of toxins, oil, gas and radiationLoss of very productive agricultural lands. Further inflation on Food prices

Don’t look to science for the answers. Something is happening to our planet and it is pointing to a large scale Global coastal event. It is a little weird that as we approach 2012 that there is a marked increase in large earthquakes and global weather phenomena. Simple statistical math will lead to the conclusion that the west coast of North America will have the next huge mega quake. By all accounts a 8-9.6 quake is overdue in the region. Vancouver BC, Seattle, Portland and San Francisco would have mass casualties in the 100,000s. In 1700 a 9+ quake hit the region and debris have been found as high as 300 feet above sea level.

Human stupidity. Do not underestimate the impact of Nuclear weapons test on on the planet and more precisely on the Earths’ magnetic field. It is estimated that the total yield of all the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests conducted is 438 megatons. That’s equivalent to 29,200 Hiroshima size bombs. In the 36 years between 1945 and 1980 when atmospheric testing was being conducted this would have been equivalent to exploding a Hiroshima size bomb in the atmosphere every 11 hours. In total over 1 Gigaton of nuclear explosion have occurred on planet earth.

For 5000 years ancient civilization have pointed to the coming of  the destroyer. Planet X, Dark-star, Nibiru. There is a large solar body just outside our system. It is big and is having a gravitational effect on our inner solar system, the Sun and planets.

Doomsday.

We ain’t seen nothin yet.

The ice cap or inland ice covers 1,833,900 square km, equivalent to 85 percent of Greenland’s total area, and extends 2,500 km (1,553 miles) from north to south and up to 1,000 km from east to west. At its center, the ice can be up to 3 km thick, representing 10 percent of the world’s total fresh water reserves. If all the ice were to melt, the world’s oceans would rise seven meters.


The greatest cataclysm in recorded history is about to happen and nobody is paying attention. (Actually lots of people are watching and getting ready. They have huge stores of food, medicine, weapons and all kinds of secured bunkers to escape to thanks to your Tax dollars) The general public and media are oblivious. The Green Ice-shelf is collapsing. The problem is too much water. While there has been undeniable melting around the edges of the ice mass the real problem has been extreme temperature oscillation. Glacier and ice sheets are fragile, they do not react well to big temperature swings. Quick flowing water will cut through 5000 years of icepack in days. The ice-shelf is being eaten away from the inside where massive cracks have allowed torrents of water to flow in and destabilize the integrity of the ice-shelf. There may be chasm hundreds of kilometers long that like the cracks on an egg shell will spread and weaken the entire ice-shelf until it collapses and falls into the sea.

It has been predicted that if global warming continues, the world’s major ice shelves will melt by 2040, causing oceans to rise by between 7m and 14m.

In The Bulletin magazine, Dr Flannery says the Arctic ice cap has entered “a death spiral” that will see it melt away entirely in summer within the next five to 15 years.

He says if the Greenland ice sheet collapses, oceans will rise by about 6m. “And that could happen surprisingly quickly,” he says. “The Larsen B ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula . . . had been stable for 12,000 years, yet it shattered to fragments over just a few weeks.

Al Gore and Exxon can debate the cause, both of them are wrong. Nobody knows what is going on. The most likely causes are solar system cycles that we have very little understanding of. What we do know to some degree is impact. 6-7 meter rise in ocean levels would displace 1 Billion People. 35% of the World’s most productive agricultural lands would be lost. Every major Port and water-way would be devastated. The infrastructure rebuilding will cost $10?s of Trillions. Half the World’s economy exist within 50km of the shoreline.

We don’t have 30 years. It’s going to happen within 2 years. Edgar Kaycee saw it. A group of Military Remote Viewers have forecast the event. Dozens of varied and different cultures around the world have warned us about it.

Runaway warming

The danger is that if too much methane is released, the world will get hotter no matter how drastically we slash our greenhouse gas emissions. Recent studies suggest that emissions from melting permafrost could be far greater than once thought. And, although it is too early to be sure, some suspect this scenario is already starting to unfold: after remaining static for the past decade, methane levels have begun to rise again, and the source could be Arctic permafrost.

What is certain is that the Arctic is warming faster than any other place on Earth. While the average global temperature has risen by less than 1 °C over the past three decades, there has been warming over much of the Arctic Ocean of around 3 °C. In some areas where the ice has been lost, temperatures have risen by 5 °C.

This intense warming is not confined to the Arctic Ocean. It extends south, deep into the land masses of Siberia, Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Scandinavia, and to their snowfields, ice sheets and permafrost. In 2007, the North American Arctic was more than 2 °C warmer than the average for 1951 to 1980, and parts of Siberia over 3 °C warmer. In 2008, most of Siberia was 2 °C warmer than average.

Earthquake catastrophe continues in Japan

Our Prayers are with you, People of Japan and all affected areas.

Volcanoes erupting: 2 in Russia , 1 in Indonesia, and now a huge eruption in Japan.

Four trains and a ship were swept out to sea with passengers. It is too early to know but it is expected deaths will be in thousands.

Japan - Many earthquakes continue in Japan.
