Urgent World CRISIS

At Survival-Quiz.com, I try to stay on top of world disaster news. Hard to believe but true, there is an urgent crisis upon us.

We are being lied to about Fukushima, the radiation spewing from it for the past year, and the horrible disaster that awaits us at the next big earthquake.

It passed Chernobyl some time back in all types of emissions. Japan is fighting for its very life and the radiation has spread to us.

Secret Documents Prove Global Cover-Up of Continued Fukushima Radiation Pollution

It is highly recommended that you:

  • Stock up on Vitamin C and take it four times a day at the slightest sign of radiation or before.
  • Wipe iodine on your skin daily.
  • Avoid larger fish from the Pacific and all dairy products.
  • Eat and drink carefully.
  • Stock up on plastic and duck tape.
  • Get your passport in order.

Read these guides at Survival-Quiz.com: Evacuate or Shelter-in-Place and Nuclear Disaster Survival. Once there is a general order to shelter in place, it will be illegal and unsafe to travel. I think you can expect martial law to start on the West Coast and rapidly move east. As more people catch on, I think sometime in late Autumn or early Winter things will begin to get hot. Most will try to soldier on and try to live semi-normal lives but many will try to flee south.

News Blackout

Be aware that there is currently a news blackout in the U.S. and Canada so you’ll have to look beyond the regular media to follow this. One way is to search for “fukushima news” limiting your search to within the past week, then look for articles and news flashes. Beware of doctored news and propaganda from traditional sources.

While bloggers can be somewhat unreliable sources, many are reliable. Below, the opinions I’m listing would be wisely read for your own protection:

First Mega-Disaster of Millennium Here Now

White hot Fukushima

Twelve years into the millennium and here comes a mega-disaster.

Hard to believe, but a news blackout is keeping you from knowing about this life-threatening crisis.

Radioactivity is no laughing matter. It is silent, invisible, and deadly to life.

You may think it is under control. You may think you are safe, so far away. You are wrong.

Not only was there a release of radioactive air and water back then, but it continues unabated.

We Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet

Much worse, a string of extremely serious nuclear accidents are unfolding that will worsen the already terrible situation very quickly.

These are not conjecture or a guess. Experts like Arnie Gunderson are saying it is a full-on catastrophe for the entire U.S. and world.

Here’s a summary of the worst of it:

  1. Reactor 1 melted down last June and groundwater is pouring huge amounts of radionuclide decay into the Pacific Ocean.
  2. Highly radioactive (so-called “spent”) fuel rods will burn into the atmosphere at the next significant earthquake. Given Japan’s propensity for big quakes, it’s going to happen very soon.
  3. Once Reactor 4 burns, all surrounding reactors and storage facilities will be permanently inaccessible, eventually causing them to all burn and melt down.

  • Put together a bug-out bag or prepare a shelter.

A Survivor’s Basic Skills

Basic Survival Products for Disaster Prevention and Relief

Click here for Quiz!

Every living being has survival instincts. We learn basic survival skills to help us when a situation warrants it. Below are the basic survival skills.

1 – First Things First – Most important: Don’t panic.

  • Stop
  • Calm down
  • Think
  • Observe
  • Plan

2 – Build a Fire – Fire provides warmth, light, security, and comfort as well as to cook food and purify water.

Ways you can make fire:

  •  Butane lighter
  •  Waterproof matches
  •  Magnesium fire starter or fire steel

3 – Shelter – To protect you from exposure wear at least two layers:

  • Clothing
  • Tarps, blankets, sleeping bags
  • Newspapers, garbage bags, leaves
  • Small hut

4 – Water and Food – Most people can survive without food for many days, even weeks. Focus on finding water.

  • Do not ration water
  • You can purify almost any water through boiling
  • Radioactive particles can be settled out

5 – Signaling – How to find help without any modern communication tools or devices.

Ways to signal:

  • Fire and smoke
  • Flashlights
  • Bright colors of clothing
  • Reflective mirrors
  • Whistle

26 Mega Disasters Possible Within Century

Disasters can be personal, regional, or global — and they can be endurable or terminal.

Here is a chart with examples to help think about types of disaster risk. (The chart does not take into account “likelihood” or possibility.)

Endurable Terminal
Global Plate tectonics Gamma-ray burst
Regional Flash flooding Permanent submersion
Personal Assault Death

Typically, Survival-Quiz.com is concerned with helping people survive a local or regional disaster such as a flood or tornado. However, this article is about mega disaster.

Below is a list of 26 potential mega disasters, some more likely than others.

Mega Disasters Possible Within the Century:

  • Divine Intervention
  • Nuclear war
  • Climate change and ecological collapse
  • Toxic pollution
  • Peak oil
  • Nuclear disasters
  • Disease and super bugs
  • Biological warfare
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Nanotechnology
  • World population and agricultural crisis
  • Biotechnology and y-chromosome
  • Volcanoes
  • Sun activity
  • Asteroid strike
  • Black hole from particle accelerator
  • Planet X
  • Gamma ray burst
  • Omega point
  • Low-energy bubble nucleation
  • Aliens attack Earth
  • Rogue black hole
  • Geomagnetic pole reversal
  • Unsustainable production and consumption
  • Earthquakes and mega tsunamis
  • Others?

Whew! That is some scary list. Some likelier than others.

ONE is all it takes. What is more likely? A rogue black hole, divine intervention, or nuclear Armageddon?

Geiger Counter at the Supermarket?

First radiation pass. (Chernobyl had at least seven.)

As we now know, three reactors melted down in the first few days at Fukushima, a large amount of radioactive fuel burnt into the air, millions of tons of radioactive water poured into the ocean, and more.

It continues to worsen and authorities don’t have much to offer, in fact, any comments may be suspect.

“Hot spots” of significant radiation now reach into Tokyo. There are reports that radioactive sewage slag has been recycled into building materials ”[with] radiation from Cesium-137 exceeding 5 million becquerels per square meter” and at sites 30km from the nuclear disaster, Geiger counters “showed radiation exceeding 1.48 million becquerels per square meter.”

Farmers 300km (186 miles) south of the nuclear disaster had cesium contamination and many forced to destroy their crops.

In eight US cities, infant mortality spiked and doctors blame the radiation spike just like after Chernobyl. Radiation in milk and in drinking water spiked clear across the US and Europe just days after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Independent experts say Fukushima is 20 times worse than Chernobyl.

Particles You Don’t Want to Consume

Most radioactive emissions dissipate quickly, but many particles that you don’t want to consume are attracted to certain areas of your body and are proven to have very bad long-term genetic effects.

Besides drinking water and milk products, vegetation, animals including sea life, and air filters accumulate these toxic particles.

With widespread contamination how does the buyer know that a purchase is free of radiation?

Even according to authorities, absent a Geiger counter at the supermarket, it’s impossible to know.

The Disaster Survival Store offers select Geiger counters and radiation detection devices chosen for price, value, duability, and reliability.
