Atlantic Quakes Could Trigger Mega-Tsunami
Dangerous developments in the bizarre Canary Islands earthquake swarm, which began in July, have the government of the small East Atlantic nation worried — but the threat reaches far beyond, across the ocean to the U.S. East Coast.
Eleven years ago the BBC introduced the Canaries mega-tsunami theory to the English-speaking world in a broadcast special, since then rebroadcast widely and frequently, that named La Palma as the trigger for an Atlantic Apocalypse:
Mega-tsunami: Wave of Destruction
“What will happen when the volcano on the Canary Island of La Palma collapses? Scientists predict that it will generate a wave that will be almost inconceivably destructive, far bigger than anything ever witnessed in modern times. It will surge across the entire Atlantic in a matter of hours, engulfing the whole US east coast, sweeping away everything in its path up to 20 kilometers inland. Boston would be hit first, followed by New York, then all the way down the coast to Miami and the Caribbean.” — BBC, October 12, 2000
The mainstay theory seems perilously possible now, but the mainstream media is strangely silent about it. After airing the mega-tsunami scenario when it was an abstraction, why do they avoid it now that it’s becoming an actuality? While it’s bad for journalists to be an alarmist, it’s far worse for them to not report an alarming possibility, or for his editors to bury their reports. While Internet investigators are ridiculed as conspiracy theorists, in the case of a possible mega-tsunami — one that could liquidate millions of lives — there is plainly a conspiracy of silence. After Fukushima, how can a journalist wave off a tsunami story?
The extracts below, from present to past, document the danger. They are from sources that differ about much, but agree about the danger of a mega-tsunami.
When Will The Canary Sing?
Scientists from several countries have cautioned that should a volcanic eruption occur and part of the Hierro land mass sluff off into the ocean, a mega-tsunami could erupt and have a dramatic effect on the Eastern shores of the United States, where people within a 20-mile radius of the coast would have about eight hours to evacuate. – The Lone Star Iconoclast, yesterday
Canary Island Quake/Volcano Could Bring Mega Tsunami
“Volcanic activity on La Palma – the most tectonically active of the Canary Islands – could trigger a mega-tsunami that would cause extensive damage all down the Atlantic Coast of the U.S., the Caribbean, Western Europe, West Africa and the east coast of South America.” — Current TV, October 4, 2011
Unprecedented Earthquakes Swarm Canaries
“You won’t find this on the front page of the New York Times or anywhere on CNN, but if you have your ear to the tracks you might’ve heard rumblings from far off in the North Atlantic Ocean where, near the Canary Islands, there have been an incredible number of earthquakes recorded in the past week — 620 and counting, 400 in just four days!” – Your Weather Blog, July 28, 2011
Vladimir Zhirinovsky: Weather Weapons Can Kill Millions
“‘We have lots of money, resources, and new weapons that no one knows about. With them we will destroy any part of the planet within 15 minutes. Not an explosion, not a ray burst, not some kind of laser, not lightning, but a quiet and peaceful weapon. Whole continents will be put to sleep forever.’” — The Nation, May 18, 2011
EARTHQUAKES: Global Warming or HAARP?
“The incidence of historic worldwide earthquakes is increasing, especially since 2002. Whether earthquakes are tied to global warming, or to the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), which some scientists say is utilized by the military to cause droughts and hurricanes, the advent of the increased numbers is worthy of concern and of additional study.” — The Lone Star Iconoclast, July 24, 2006
BP and NASA HAARP vs. U.S. officers coup d’etat
“On the evening of July 28, 2005, the Southeast Texas sky erupts into a hurricane of fire, dozens of miles high and wide, over the blazing BP refinery in Texas City. Captain May’s voice reveals his fear of a BP nuclear attack. His earlier national warnings of a Houston false flag have been validated. The tension builds when a helicopter begins circling his position. At the end of the interview, he calls for a military coup d’etat counterattack.” — Cloak and Dagger, July 28, 2005
Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen
“‘Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.’” — Department of Defense transcript, April 28, 1997

I dedicate this article to my friend and editor W. Leon Smith, the bravest American journalist of our troubled times. He practiced what he published, and paid the price in pain.
‘Trash the dress’ photo shoot targets keepsake: Wedding attire subjected to unconventional treatment.
The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, WA) August 16, 2007 Byline: Donna Tam Aug. 16–Everything was perfect. Her makeup was flawless. Her veil was flowing. Her white wedding dress, strapless, the lace glittering with beading, was elegant and beautiful. Not at all nervous, Lisa Underwood was ready to take the plunge.
With dozens of people gawking, she jumped into the columns of water shooting up from the Riverfront Park fountain. Today she and her $700 wedding dress had been through it all: at the back of a furniture warehouse, sliding down the Radio Flyer structure into the sand, and even sitting in bird poop under train tracks.
Married last month, Underwood, 21, was participating in a photo shoot called a “trash the dress” session. The idea, said photographer Lori Adalsteinsson, is to create high-fashion style photos in unlikely settings without worrying about the condition of the dress.
“It’s just running around and having fun without worry about the dress,” she said. “It’s not the goal to ruin the dress, but more about being real.” Underwood isn’t the only bride attracting stares. Sessions have popped up all over the United States, many of them chronicled on a trash-the-dress blog, a site that has even inspired overseas photographers to start their own trash-the-dress sites in the United Kingdom and the Philippines.
Adalsteinsson said she has been doing similar sessions for years. She also applies the trash-the-dress concept to bridesmaid dresses and prom dresses. website easrer dresses
“These gals spend all this money on these fancy dresses,” she said. “It always drove me nuts when people were afraid of getting them dirty.” She’s scheduled to do sessions with another bride and three teenagers who want to model their prom dresses. A three-hour session starts at $599.
“There’s such a stigma with wedding dresses. Don’t step on the dress; don’t get dirt on the dress,” Adalsteinsson said.
At one point they end up underneath a railroad, staring at the trestles. Everything is covered in bird poop, including the trestle Adalsteinsson has Underwood climb up on. Underwood sits in a striking pose, exaggerating her angles like a model in a fashion magazine. There are cars going by around the island they are on. Countless drivers honk, whistle and yell out cat calls.
Underwood enjoyed being a model.
“I should wear a wedding dress every day,” she joked.
Earlier generations of brides may disagree. For them, the gown weighs heavy with tradition. The dress is only worn once in public before being sealed in a preservation box and entombed in an attic or closet for safe keeping.
Underwood’s mother-in-law told her it made her sick to her stomach when she found out what Underwood had planned for her wedding gown. But it didn’t deter her. She wanted to get the most out of her dress since she spent so much money on it.
“I wanted to do something worthwhile,” she said, adding that she didn’t want to just store it in her closet forever. “It’s better in a picture as artwork.” It took Underwood two tries before she settled on that particular wedding dress. The first dress she ordered online. When it arrived in the mail the dress wasn’t what she had expected, so she ended up at Celestial Designs, where she finally found the right one. It was the dress she wore the day she married her high school sweetheart, Oliver. this web site easrer dresses
Celestial Designs’ owner Erlene Clifton, who has been selling wedding dresses for seven years, has heard of the extreme versions of these sessions where brides actually try to damage the dress. She doesn’t think the trend has really caught on here, but she can’t imagine why anyone would want to do it. She can’t imagine how they could.
“Women attach feelings to these dresses,” she said. “Probably more than any other piece of clothing.” Clifton has kept her dress since she was married 37 years ago. It wasn’t preserved properly, so it is yellowing, but she made it by hand and she’s going to continue to keep it.
Amber Thompson overheard Clifton’s comments on dress trashing and her eyes grew wide in disbelief.
“I would never do that,” she said.
Thompson and her husband, John Thompson, were in the store to visit the wedding consultant who had helped her with the dress she got married in last August.
“That’s your day. That’s your dress. That’s your day to be a princess,” she said. “My daddy cried when he saw me in my dress.” Her dress is preserved, safely stored in a box. The day after John proposed, she found it at Celestial Designs, but she kept searching just in case.
“I went to every shop in town, just to make sure it was the one,” she said, laughing a little.
On their wedding day, the couple was careful not to get the white gown dirty.
“I wouldn’t let anyone get within two feet of her dress if they had anything in their hands,” said John. He doesn’t think these sessions can be justified as a modern trend.
“Times change, traditions change,” he recognized. “But keeping the dress, keeping some of the silverware … those traditions don’t change.” For Underwood, the traditions aren’t set in stone. The dress can still be cleaned and kept, or she could do another session, this time with her husband.
“I’m glad I got to do it,” she said. “That was awesome.” After the fountain, a shivering Underwood makes her way back to the car, water dripping from her arms as she carries her skirt, now bloated with water. Most of her makeup has washed off and her wet hair hangs limp. She’s smiling. In the car, she changes out of her dress and hands it to Adalsteinsson, who is surprised by the weight.
“Wow, feel how heavy that is,” the photographer said. She folded the dress up and tossed it into the back of her trunk, and the two women drove off to another spot.

If its with regard my pointing out the...
I read in an alternative news souce that a nucluar sub exploded off the coast? Any idea if this is true?
I’ve been following the Cumbre Vieja thing for many years now.
As I understand it, it’s almost a certainty that it will erupt again, and once it does, it’s almost a certainty that the Western half of it will collapse into the ocean, as predicted, causing a mega-Tsunami that will travel across the Atlantic at 600 mph and take out a lot of property.
I expect a disaster of that magnitude may even interrupt the Empire’s plans for world rule…especially if New York and Washington DC are taken out.
If it should happen to occur at night (Eastern time), after most people are sleeping, I imagine the toll will be much higher than if it happens during the day when people will have 6 hours notice to evacuate.
Yellowstone park is overdue for a spew. The Ring of Fire in the Pacific has had it way with New Zealand and Japan this year and the West Coast of the USA is the other hot spot. Christchurch in NZ is still rumbling on a daily basis; they have had several thousand earthquakes since the big one in February .
This is why I am worried about America’s unwinnable wars, America has no money in the kitty if something big and bad happens. One big natural disaster on top of unwinnable wars will be the end of America.
On the bright side, given the evil that “America” is doing, all over the world, and given that “America” seems to be pushing the world to WW3, “the end of ‘America’” as we know it might not be such a bad thing.
Ain’t it the truth. I’ve been thinking that the U.S. is a danger to the world and should be isolated. Hoping protests do something to turn things around.
I have also followed it for a while. There are differing claims as to what would happen, or even if there would be a sudden collapse as opposed to gradual slide, but as a worst case it could be a catastrophe. Some sort of warning and evac plan should be worked out just in case, you don’t want to be caught like the Japs were, except maybe 100 or even 1000 times worse.
Oh Boy. This is frightening. My only child lives in the D.C. area. Uhhh any idea when this may occur?
Capt May:
Leave all the perdiction crap for God. Are you not afraid . Only John, JESUS most beloved brother saw the light and saw the new city of God.and to think,we started in a Garden The cradle of cilivation. Mr. MAY cannot tell you when the next earthquake will be, but God can. See the signs in the isaiah and the bible.of course, any faith based religion can do the same,Yet,only the Bible tells us forgiveness is the key.Read and savor the good news.
“Bible” makes a good coaches play book huh……
Sammy read some other fictional books and get a new fictional veiw ……..
Very Troubling indeed,and the ring of fire presents an unique theatre for experimental geo-engineering technology to be let lose, without impunity,hope your health is improving ,Captain.
Captain, AS,
Yes, I saw the Daily Mail Sept. 29 article about the evacuation of the smallest Canary island. I have known of the mega-tsunami possibility for years now; pray God it does not happen anytime soon.

PEACE thoughts:
I have thought a great deal about what it means to make peace, over many years, since 1966, so that is now 45 years. 1966 is the year I read Auschwitz, a book by Dr. Miklós Nyiszli, which made me realize the absolute necessity for peace. I was 10 years old, reading things that no 10-year old should read or experience, ever. I decided then, that I would fight Evil, wherever it resided, no matter what. I guess that’s why I never joined or swore allegiance to ANY political party, church, etc. Peace is something I have tried to work on, every day in my life, through work, leisure, reflection, prayer, through my everyday home life most of all. I have always considered myself very fortunate, because I have always known of the next world, which makes it a bit easier to bear this one. I grew up with the Native American world view, which I won’t explain here. But I will say this: Like Carl Jung, who first said this, “I don’t need to believe. I KNOW.”
So what happened lately? A very good friend, Prof. Jim Miller, was stabbed to death around 1 a.m. Sunday morning at home, by a stranger, in a home invasion, in a very small town where nothing ever happens, where they roll up the streets at 8 pm every night. He was the heart of peace, the kindest soul who ever lived. His wife Linda, who was attacked but lived, also the very best person you could meet. Both of them lived and breathed peace. I knew them as my favorite couple in Sunday school, down to earth, very humble. Although I knew him for many years, I didn’t even realize he had a doctorate, as he never used the title. He taught biology (very passionately) at a small liberal arts college, and she is on the pastoral team at church, where she works with small children. They have 2 teenagers, both of them away in a marching band competition at the time of the attack.
I know that he was good, and already is in heaven. The stranger who killed him, fled the scene. There is NO possibility that it was an enemy, as Jim had no enemies. Jim belonged to a historical peace church, and I know that he would have been an activist upon retirement.
So what can I do to honor Jim? I will get up every day, continue to work for peace, pray for peace. That’s it.
Dear Captain, You honor your good friend W Leon Smith with your well thought out and researched article. We know it takes much time and energy on your part to impart such knowledge to your readers. Such determination is a inspiration to us all.
Hear hear. I hope Captain and family know that I also noticed the dedication to W. Leon Smith. Btw, for Mr. Smith: EDTA chelation therapy is the best bet for anything to do with strokes, heart, or any circulation problem. I’ve been there already. That’s the way to go. Give him my email address, if his family wants more info.
Selective Service notes: In the old days, we had the draft and classifications. My significant other signed up as a 1-A-O during the Vietnam conflict. For those of you who don’t know what that is, that’s a Conscientious Objector with balls, a guy who won’t carry a gun, but WILL work in the military. These guys are usually medics, the most dangerous job in the world, IMHO. He didn’t get to go, thanks to President Nixon who ended the war in the nick of time for him.
BUT I have another family member, who WAS a medic, in the US Army during the Yugoslavian Civil War, the Clinton era non-war of the 1990s. He has PTSD to this day. To echo the sentiments of my favorite character in the war movie M*A*S*H, “God d–n Army”.
Captain May and AS,
We shall have peace, Insha’Allah, Deo volente. Amen.
Oct. 13 news: Iceland’s Katla volcano is getting restless. Its last major eruption was in 1918. AP story.
http://charter.net/news/read.php?rip_id=%3CD9QB93000%40news.ap.org%3E&ps=1012
“Now, clusters of small earthquakes are being detected around Katla, which means an eruption could be imminent, seismologists say. The earthquakes have been growing in strength, too. After a long period of magnitude 3 tremors, a magnitude 4 quake was detected last week.”
i remember seeing a strange program on the BBC about this ,about 2yrs ago ,i will try and dig it up for you.
An underwater ND will accomplish the same objective.
Bad mouthing the US is plain stupidity. You morrons know nothing of past history so unless you do some research I suggest you shut your pie-hole!
Science of our earth is just that. Predictions while some may be able to I have yet to hear of anyone in today’s world come forward. Chance is what we have. The facts are La Palma will cause a Tsanami sometime in the future could be tomorrow. Cascadia, Yellowstone, New Madrid, Mt. Ranier, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood, San Andreas all will cause mayhem in our future. Look up Edgar Casey if you wish to know of some real prophecy he lived in the early 20th century.
I do wish you to be prepared as best you can. Something is brewing and unfortunately I believe the US will get hit soon. Pray that only one of those events I listed happens and we as Americans have the time to heal!
