The Writing on the Wall: An Extinction Level Event



The Writing on the Wall: An Extinction Level Event



Dead EarthWyrms by R. Ayana


by Elva Thompson

Mankind we are told by the new age pundits is awakening, but awakening to what?

While people are arguing about who did 9/11, the farcical elections, the humane diet, the evil god spell, who’s screwing who, what’s on the telly and what’s for dinner –  time is running out. Behind the noisy cafes and pubs, the bustling streets and glaring lights of our electronic ‘whirled’, a tragedy is happening – a tragedy of epic proportions that will be the final nail in the coffin of humanity.

The ‘natural’ world is dying and drowning in poison. Over fifty percent of the species that once called Earth its home are extinct, and many more are teetering on the brink of annihilation. There are mass die-offs on our beaches, and our highways are littered with millions of dead birds and animals smashed into the pavement by ‘I am’ in a hurry to get everywhere.

Our rivers, lakes and seas are polluted with pesticide and fertilizer run off, discarded fishing line, lead shot, hooks, radiation, oil spills, and marine life is blown apart by the electromagnetic shock waves from the latest sonic weapons. Huge piles of plastic trash as big as continents are floating in the oceans murdering millions of life forms: whales, orcas, dolphins, fish, turtles and birds.

The writing is on the wall for those with eyes to see it.


Where did the herring go?


Fish that once were plentiful around the British Isles are in decline: the herring, cod, skate and haddock will soon be just an exhibit in a fish tank or framed in a box on a museum wall. In the video ‘The Bountiful Sea’ we are shown the reason for this massive and rapid decline in the herring population – man’s arrogance, selfishness and greed has turned the teeming waters of the sea into a silent grave. He does not realise that the chain of life is littered with broken links and carries on his depredation like there is no tomorrow.

There is a saying: Those who the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.


No place left for life


It would seem there is no place left in this insane ‘whirled’ for other life forms, the sea creatures, and the animals of the forest, plains and tundra. Mono culture is the name of the game as the Monsanto tide of death washes across the countryside. Meadows  and valleys that were once alive with the  beauty of flowers, bees and butterflies are now devoid of life. Old forests, rain forests, any forest is disappearing under the ax and chain saw for wood, and the cash crop cow – hamburger on the hoof to feed the hive mind its daily dose of frequency reduction.

The wilderness areas are shrinking, and the habitat of every creature is invaded by those who want to hunt, fish, collect, ‘to get away from it all’ – the hikers and tourists with their cameras, trailers, campers, mountain bikes – and trash. Countries are ravaged by wars, bombs, radioactive ammunition and mines that claim millions of innocent lives and create the further genocide of species.


But everything’s okay


The normalcy bias of programmed consciousness says everything’s okay, and most people don’t see or care about the destruction happening to their habitat. They are too busy with their lives, the throw away society that lives in excess of everything, and as such are willing pawns for the dark forces of destruction.


Authenticity

Those that let the hive mind do their thinking cannot be authentic human beings – they are clones that reproduce their unsustainable fractals at the expense of every other life form on the planet/plane. They think technology will solve the problems of starvation and disease, and are unaware that unless there is a dramatic change of perception – a revolution of consciousness, their days are numbered and their offspring have no future.




The great divide

Reality is duality, and there is a growing division between the fractal, third dimensional consciousness of the hive mind and authentic human beings capable of intuitive awareness. In this divide, there is no common ground because the hive mindset is exclusive, and intuitive awareness inclusive.


Indigenous people

Indigenous people had inclusive consciousness, intuitive awareness beyond the narrow spectrum of 3D life. They realized as ‘a knowing’ that all life was one and everything in their world was related. They also knew that with the coming of the invader consciousness and the genocide that followed, the sacred hoop of life was broken.

Black Elk’s last vision clearly shows this heartbreaking understanding.

“To the centre of the world you have taken me and showed the goodness and the beauty and the strangeness of the greening earth, the only mother – and there the spirit shapes of things, as they should be, you have shown to me and I have seen.

At the centre of this sacred hoop you have said that I should make the tree to bloom.

With tears running, O Great Spirit, my grandfather I must say now that the tree has never bloomed. A pitiful old man, you see me here, and I have fallen away and done nothing. Here at the centre of the world, where you took me when I was young and taught me; here, old, I stand, and the tree is withered. Grandfather, my Grandfather!

Again, and maybe the last time on this earth, I recall the great vision you sent me. It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives. Nourish it then, not for myself, but for my people; I am old. Hear me that they may once more go back into the sacred hoop and find the good red road, the shielding tree!”


Returning to the Red Road


A Lakota shaman told me that there are two roads in life that man can walk. The east-west road of conflict, and the north-south road of spiritual understanding. The east, he said symbolised the heart, and the west the emotions – and they were forever at war. This is the road of suffering and sacrifice.

The north-south road is Mother Earth and the animal nations. It is the spiritual Red Road, and where the four roads cross the tree of life blooms and self-awareness is born. Man has a choice which road he walks, but in this day and age most have chosen the east-west way of pain and limitation – the hive mind road of conflict.


The possibility

We are now entering a time of transfiguration for humankind if we can change our perspective.

In the words of George Griffiths:

Darkness would seem to be our chosen cloak whose very warp and weft’s composed of suffering and death…Yet he who he who knows the ebb and flow of tides within a tree, knows too the breath of planets in their pilgrimage.

Also, in his compass, he would hold in view the rise and fall of circumstance where man, as nexus of two worlds stands poised at this mid-between on razor’s edge…  

Gifted beyond angels, benisoned in light and cast in the major role…could he but know it.’

And again the call goes out.  Christopher Fry’s : The Sleep of Prisoners:

Thank God our time is now when wrong comes up to face us everywhere – Never to leave us until we take the longest stride of soul men ever took.

Affairs are now soul size. The enterprise is exploration into God.\

Where are you making for? It takes so many thousand years to wake – But will you wake for pity’s sake.’      

It’s up to each one of us to choose. We can align with life or destroy it, walk the road of sorrow or the road of joy. (See my article Prisoners of the Voice and The Choice).

Fracking Creates Massive Radioactive Waste Problem




Fracking Creates Massive Radioactive Waste Problem



http://wakeup-world.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Fracking-Creates-Massive-Radioactive-Waste-Problem.jpg




The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) openly acknowledges that fracking fluid contains “thousands of chemicals”, but nowhere is there mention of radioactivity in its risk assessments. Now, a new study reveals the “natural gas” industry may be hiding a secret as dark and deadly as the one the nuclear industry has been trying to conceal for decades. 


Following recent news that California’s fracking industry will be “repurposing” its toxic wastewater to meet the needs of an agricultural industry driven desperate by the drought, a timely new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives reveals that fracking wastewater is not just a source of dangerous petrochemicals but also a highly toxic form of radioactive waste.

Titled “What’s NORMal for Fracking? Estimating Total Radioactivity of Produced Fluids“, the new study tested the hypothesis that fracking wastewater contains the same naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) found in the shale deposits that it is produced from as a drilling byproduct. The primary radionuclides of interest include 226radium, 210polonium, and 210lead, which are decay products of 238uranium and 228thorium, and which are normally safely locked away deep within millions of years old geological formations.

The study focused on the heavily drilled Marcellus Shale, a vast swath of marine sedimentary rock found in eastern North America, and which is known to have about 20 times higher levels of radioactivity from high uranium content compared to most other shales.[1]

In 2010, the uranium deposits within the Marcellus Shale were identified by University of Buffalo researchers as being susceptible to being solubilized and made mobile by fracking fluids. The researchers determined that when these fluids inevitably come back to the surface in the form of millions of gallons of wastewater they can pollute streams and the ecosystem with hazardous waste.


Fracking Releases Radioactivity Normally Locked Away Deep Within the Earth


The new study confirms the above mentioned concerns. Researchers at the University of Iowa obtained a 200-liter drum of fracking wastewater obtained from the Marcellus Shale region in 2012. The sample was measured for existing levels of radioisotopes, and then estimates were made for the total radioactivity that would be produced within the fluids in the future if left within a closed space. They confirmed the presence of radioactive radium, polonium, and lead. They also measured an increase in the decay products 210lead and 228thorium. Finally, they determined that the radioactivity would continue to increase for more than 100 years due to the formation of the decay products of 210lead and 210polonium.

This is not the first time that a radioactivity problem with fracking wastewater has been cited in the published literature. For instance, a report published in Environmental Science and Technologyin 2013 found that fracking wastewater discharge by the Josephine Brine Treatment Facility in Pennsylvania lead to 226radium concentrations that were approximately 200 times higher than normally expected in stream sediments near the facility.[2]


Fracking’s Radioactivity Could Be As Dangerous As Nuclear Power’s Releases


Clearly, the “natural gas” industry has a new PR nightmare on its hands. Already there is a growing public awareness that fracking is an extremely destructive and non-sustainable method to extract energy from the earth, uses and contaminates billions of gallons of water annually, and may even contribute to increase seismic events like earthquakes. But until now few if any realized that the fracking/natural gas and the nuclear industry share the same dark secret that they both routinely release significant quantities of radioactive waste into the environment whose toxicological implications last for centuries, if not for thousands of years (e.g. 222radium’s half-life is 1600 years).


http://wakeup-world.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Fracking-Creates-Massive-Radioactive-Waste-Problem-.jpg


The releases are not just the byproduct of accidents. The nuclear power industry actually releases highly carcinogenic plumes of radioisotopes into the environment during the course of normal operations. For instance, they routinely schedule government approved releases of up to 500 times higher than normal levels when they refuel their reactors. Even the coal-powered power plants produce millions of tons of radioactive waste, which we recently touched upon in our exposé on the possible use of coal fly ash for covert geoengineering progams in the U.S. and abroad.

In many ways, as evidenced by the Fukushima multi-core meltdown, the problem with radioactive waste contamination is so profound and widespread that for the most part the media won’t even touch the issue. To the contrary, nuclear power is often described in the mainstream media as a “cleaner” form of energy because it does not produce the same carbon emissions as fossil fuel-based forms. This suffices to distract from its true harms to human and environmental health.

Given the widespread problem of denial, it is not surprising that present day fracking regulations do not account for radioactivity at all. The EPA, in fact, focuses on drinking water and groundwater contamination by the admittedly “thousands of chemicals contained in fracking fluid” as the most salient issue, and determined in its 2015 fracking risk assessment that while it did find evidence that fracking has caused contamination and does pose a risk to drinking water resources, “the number of identified cases where drinking water resources were impacted are small relative to the number of hydraulically fractured wells.”[3]

The truth is that low-dose radioisotope exposure no matter what the specific source of contamination has been proven to be several orders of magnitude more dangerous to health than present day radiological risk assessment standards presently specify. This is because health risk evaluations are based on gamma-radiation associated effects, based mainly on outdated observations of atomic bomb blast survivors from WWII, long before DNA and low-dose radioisotope mediated DNA damage was even discovered. Uranium, however, being an alpha particle and not a gamma radiation emitter, can have up to 1 million fold increased toxicity to DNA than would be expected by its radiolytic decay alone. The implications of this are astounding, and speak to just how dangerous releases of radioisotopes are when looked at through the lens of a more nuanced, modernized, and evidence-based risk assessment lens.

The truth about low-dose radioisotope exposure’s true risks have been hidden for quite some time, including by the tobacco industry, who knew as far back as the 1950’s that the contamination of tobacco with polonium was driving high lung cancer incidence in smokers but refused to admit it because addressing the problem by removing 210polonium would have reduced their product’s nicotine content, addictiveness, and therefore profitability.

This new study should help to bring to the awareness of the public that there is absolutely nothing natural about the “natural gas” industry, and that fracking may combine the worst outcomes of both the fossil fuel (petrochemical) and nuclear power industries, as far as the ultimate forms of damage wrought upon human and environmental health. Now that the wastewater from fracking is being used to grow food, it is all the more pressing that we become engaged and active on the issue — that is, unless we don’t mind being force-fed fracking chemicals and radioactive material in our produce in the near future (although conventional produce may already be blasted with nuclear waste to “cold pasteurize it.”)

The time has come to take a stand and withdrawal all support from energy and agricultural production models that result in the atrocious toxic fallout of this kind.

INVESTIGATION: Secrecy surrounds new CSG chemical

 

  



THE vast majority of the ingredients in a chemical used in coal seam gas drilling operations have been kept secret from the public since its importation into Australia was approved in late 2014.

Manufactured in the United States by chemical giant Halliburton, the "Chemical in Duratone HT" was approved ahead of an assessment of its potential health and environmental effects in July last year.

But assessment documents show the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme gave Halliburton extensive concessions under commercial-in-confidence rules to keep information from being made public.

Those exemptions, which protect companies' commercially sensitive information, allowed the chemicals giant to keep secret about 95% of the chemical's ingredients.

While the results of human health toxicology and environmental toxicology studies were provided, the actual studies of the chemical's potential effects were also deemed "exempt information".

Environmental group National Toxics Network's senior adviser, Dr Mariann Lloyd-Smith, said the information that had been publicly released was "to put it bluntly, bugger all".

"Even Halliburton's own documents about this chemical show that certain local environmental regulations do not allow it to be used," she said.

"They themselves acknowledge there may be a problem with this chemical, so how dare they (the regulator) give them confidentiality over 95% of its ingredients and then give us a document that tells us virtually nothing?"

The company has also produced a more environmentally friendly product that does a similar job as Duratone HT, called Duratone E, but has not applied to import it to Australia.

"How come we have a chemical where even the producers know that some environmental regulators say they can't use it, the company has even gone about producing something less harmful, but the government allows them broad confidentiality?" Dr Lloyd-Smith said.
 


EXPLAINER: WHAT IS FRACKING?

HYDRAULIC fracturing involves the injection of a "fracking fluid" into a coal seam via a well in order to crack the coal seams below ground to release gas.

It usually involves a mixture of about 97-99% sand and water, which is mixed with chemicals that help open up the fracture, keep it open, and keep it free of debris.

A 2014 report said only about 6% of all wells drilled in Australia in 2013 involved the process, but in Queensland, the practice is tipped to grow up to 40% as the industry expands.


Documents show Duratone HT, a "filtration control agent", comes in 25kg bags of powder that contain between 60% and 100% of an unknown "notified chemical", making up about 95% of the active ingredients.


The only known ingredient in the powder was crystalline silica, or powdered quartz, which was reported as an "impurity" that comprises up to 5% of the "notified chemical".

That substance is found in bricks, cement and other building materials.

It can cause lung cancer and is listed as a "hazardous chemical requiring health monitoring" by Safe Work Australia.

A "typical application" of Duratone HT in a single well would include between 1620kg and 5400kg of the powder mixed with "other ingredients" to create the injection fluid.

The chemical can be used in offshore and onshore drilling operations, but it is unclear where, when or how much of it has been used in Australia's CSG industry, as such information is not publicly reported.

A Halliburton spokeswoman did not respond to ARM Newsdesk's questions.

But a recent submission to the regulator said the company regards "the protection of confidential information from public disclosure" as of "critical importance", and such disclosures could erode the firm's "overall reputation and market position".
