Beauty in Broken Things and People:
People are so fragile these days. And, in God's hands, that can be a good thing. I just have to share what Phil Sieve sent me in response to a recent email I wrote about the brokenhearted.
My dad loved to paint people who had "character"...faces that have aged like nature with all its imperfections and twists.

The Biggest Discovery I've made in years!
Finally... ‘Some GOOD News’!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Michelle for sending me this! I'm tossing my $20 bottle of Tylenol in the garbage and buying some Aspirin immediately. And recommending to everyone I know they do the same.
Listen to this easy-to-understand doctor walk you through all the many benefits of Aspirin and, "when the patent ran out", the evil conspiracy to discredit Aspirin and make money on a dangerous replacement (which could be patented for huge profits). You can also skim the transcript below the audio player.
This will change your life.

For new readers: HERE are links to download my CV, ebooks, the best recent posts, and how to search my archives. Thank you for your reviews of Judas Dentistry. HERE is the direct link for that.
My friend Jerome Kahn supplied most of the ideas and references here. Robert Yoho abridged, edited, and organized it. Please read the entire post before you judge whether the Pharma companies are as evil as we say.
Aspirin is a safe and profoundly beneficial drug
Taking it daily at modest doses lowers the risk of developing cancer by over 50 percent. It also lowers the risk of dementia, diabetes, and heart attack. Hundreds of journal articles testify to these benefits and more. It is over-the-counter and sells for under five cents a dose.
In 1980, Bayer’s aspirin had been the number-one-selling drug for over five decades. If physicians had read the literature and known of its virtues, it would have cut many Pharma companies' profits in half.
Pharma’s “tobacco ethics” are unimaginable to the rest of us, even now during the covid era.
In World War II, Bayer was a subsidiary of IG Farben, which used slave labor in factories in German-occupied Auschwitz, Poland, and elsewhere. It manufactured Zyklon B, the gas used to kill Jews and others. The company’s strategy is to foster illnesses that could be treated with the “cures” they supply.
Their companies used “tobacco science” to replace aspirin, a wonder drug, with toxic Tylenol (APAP) as the top-selling medication. They profit from adverse effects and sometimes from fatalities. They sell wellness but cause illness, (References: Dr. Yoho’s Butchered by Healthcare and his podcast about fluoroquinolones.)
The Harvard Nurses and the FULL studies showed that taking a single uncoated 325 mg aspirin daily for several years reduces the risk of cancer by over 50%. The chances of stage I, II, and III becoming the deadly stage IV also declined, and the overall survival rate improved by 64 percent. Aspirin does this by turning up the body’s self-healing powers, such as using apoptosis to dismantle abnormal cells without releasing harmful reactive chemicals.
Besides its cancer effects, aspirin reduces the risk of a heart attack by 44%, and also the chances of dementia, diabetes, fibrosis of the lungs, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS, strokes, and life-threatening pulmonary embolism. Infections with fungus, bacteria, and viruses decline as well.
Established literature suggests that long-term aspirin usage reduces gout, fatty liver, mental illness, inflammation, hypertension, obesity, osteoporosis, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, macular degeneration, metabolic syndrome, oxidative damage, and rheumatoid arthritis. Both cellular mechanisms and large population studies support all these effects.
Baby aspirin was invented to prevent the decline of profitable diseases that result from taking conventional doses of 325 mg daily. Read the entire article before you stamp this as hyperbole.
A 1993 study of a decade of 600,000 Canadian health records showed a 60% cancer risk reduction for those taking five or more aspirin a week.
Aspirin is not a poisonous chemo drug that destroys function but a profoundly beneficial substance. It is a natural plant product that is theorized to have co-evolved with mammals. Plants make salicylic acid, and our body’s natural processes convert benzoic acid into salicylic acid. This has many uses.
Bayer improved it by adding acetic acid to make acetylsalicylic acid and marketed it in 1899 at a 500 mg dose. It became the go-to drug for pain, colds, and arthritis.
Aspirin protects adenosine triphosphate (ATP), our body’s biofuel, and its source, mitochondria, which are involved in self-healing processes. ATP provides 95% of the energy for our biological processes, including producing hemoglobin and muscle contraction. It helps mitochondria produce ATP, which improves health.
These basic facts are poorly recognized, for our educational systems and media have swindled us. Using scientists for hire, Pharma has become our teacher, and our ignorance increases their profits. For 80 years, aspirin was the leading drug for pain, colds, and arthritis. But its sales were gutted to profit drug companies, and it was purposefully replaced with toxic Tylenol.
Baby aspirin at 81 mg is far less than a therapeutic dose. Many people take vitamin pills daily for health, but few take the standard dose of 325 mg of uncoated aspirin daily.
325 mg of uncoated aspirin daily turns up healing, and reduces biological stress
· Aspirin lowers the incidence of dementia in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,) and other neurological syndromes. It increases brain-derived neurotropic factors (BDNF), which promotes healing, and it slows amyloid creation.
· Aspirin is an anticoagulant that lowers the incidence of strokes, heart attacks, and pulmonary embolism.
· Aspirin inhibits the growth of Helicobacter pylori, which is the cause of ulcers.
· Aspirin is an antioxidant, which protects cells and their mitochondria from non-enzymatic reactive chemical bonding or oxidation.
· The Harvard Nurses’ Study showed a 67% reduction in breast cancer deaths in stages I, II, and III compared to controls when aspirin was used daily for six weeks. No chemotherapy compares. Yoho comment: chemotherapy effects on breast cancer are nominal, if any.
· Aspirin reduces cancer: 63% colon, 36% lung, 39% prostate, 73% esophageal, 62% stomach, and 55% for melanoma. The mechanism is thought to be apoptosis of abnormal cells. Those numbers would likely be even higher if a 325 mg uncoated tablet were used twice daily. (Some references do not specify the dose or whether an enteric coating was used.)
· Diabetes type 2 cured: Case reports of diabetes cures have been reported after five grams per day for two weeks, and 325 mg daily reduces its risk. Read about the mechanism HERE.
· Arterial endothelial dysfunction is believed to cause cardiovascular disease. Aspirin prevents this, and the mechanism is thought to be bacteria entering arteries and then colonizing the inner layers to form plaque. (Citation: Aspirin Protects Endothelial Cells From Oxidant Damage Via the Nitric Oxide-cGMP Pathway).
· The lungs, liver, brain (glia), heart, and other tissues can become fibrotic, It is a serious condition that can cause fatality. Aspirin reduces this by promoting self-healing.
· Aspirin reduces cardiac events. When taken every other day for five years, it reduced unstable angina by 236%. This study involved 22,071 U.S. physicians (a review reference is HERE), and their patients’ ulcer rates were unchanged whether they took aspirin or not. Jerry Kahn: I have taken two 325 mg uncoated aspirin a day for the last 32 years and have never had heartburn.
· Leaking coronary plaques are thought to cause heart attacks due to the formation of fibrous clots that close arteries. Aspirin lowers the amount of fibrinogen, which is thought to prevent this.
· Hypertension is the major cause of atherosclerosis, and aspirin decreases its progression. Pharma claims that the muscles in the artery wall cause high blood pressure, so their patent drugs block them with catecholamine muscle relaxants. This weakens the heart, which is thought by some to increase deaths.
· Aspirin decreases the incidence of certain infections: “Aspirin and salicylate inhibited the growth of H pylori in a dose-dependent manner, and bactericidal activity was due to cell lysis.” This bacteria causes ulcers.
· Aspirin decreases insulin resistance in diabetes. This makes insulin work better. Insulin has at least 16 regulatory functions. “We show that high doses of salicylates reverse hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and dyslipidemia” (high glucose, high insulin, and high blood cholesterol). “Chronic aspirin administration completely reversed glucose intolerance and decreased the oxidative status.” Aspirin lowers blood glucose and insulin resistance, which is thought to improve mitochondrial function.
· Experiments have shown that aspirin extends the median lifespan of the worm C. elegans by 25%. Median lifespan was also increased in mice given aspirin.
· Aspirin lowers mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress. Some speculate this explains its positive effects on mental illness.
· “Aspirin lowers or prevents demyelination of neurons in MS… There are several advantages of aspirin over other available therapies for MS.”
· Aspirin reverses osteoporosis and promotes positive bone remodeling. “Aspirin can inhibit osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption activity in a dose-dependent manner, thus exerting its anti-osteoporosis effect… Aspirin is emphasized as the drug of choice.” Other references are HERE, HERE, and HERE.
· Aspirin decreases oxidative stress and has many other related benefits.
· Giving twelve hundred mg of aspirin following major general surgery reduced pulmonary embolism from 15.4% to 6%; similar improvements were seen with total hip surgery and total knee replacements.
· For rheumatoid arthritis, sodium salicylate and aspirin are equally effective. “The majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis can be controlled with salicylates alone… it is the standard which all rheumatoid arthritis medications should be measured” Goodman and Gillman Pharmacology 11th Edition (2005), p 690. The Merck Manual (1987), p 960, recommends a dose “from 3 to 7.5 gm, the average 4.5 gm” for rheumatoid arthritis. This high dose was used for decades by millions. Note that this last source was published before the patented Motrin was first sold in the US (1974) and prior to its widespread adoption.
· Stroke neuroprotection: “Aspirin is preventive against stroke not only because of its antithrombotic properties but also by other direct effects.” Other references showed neuroprotective effects in stressed rats. and another study cut off blood flow to rats’ brains and found that aspirin limited damage.
Pharma destroyed aspirin’s reputation

Tucker Carlson revealed the one thing Tim Walz hates more than anything:
Americans are starting to get to know Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
It’s not a flattering picture.
And Tucker Carlson revealed the one thing Tim Walz hates more than anything.
Tucker Carlson slams Tim Walz’s nicotine taxes as an attack on masculinity
Tim Walz’s line that Donald Trump and J.D. Vance need to “mind their own d**** business” continues to haunt the Democrat ticket.
Walz clearly believes that ethos only applies to abortion on demand.
Tucker Carlson and comedian Dave Smith slammed Walz for wanting the government to make it their business on a whole range of personal behavior.
Carlson was especially worked up about Walz proposing a 33 percent tax increase on nicotine products that cost more than $4 per pack and a 95 percent sales tax on vaping devices.
Carlson argued raising taxes on nicotine was a way to punish Americans with elevated levels of testosterone.
“They’re afraid of testosterone and they want to identify who’s got it in abundance and they want to isolate and punish those people. It’s why they’re against nicotine.
That’s why Walz raise the taxes on nicotine pouches for their — of course, they’re not carcinogens. There’s no evidence, by the way, that nicotine is a carcinogen. It’s not that we know of. It’s all a lie!” Carlson stated.
Carlson claimed Democrats like Walz want to create financial penalties for nicotine use because it’s associated with elevated testosterone levels.
“And what they hate about nicotine is it raises testosterone levels, even suppress that fact, that’s a fact — on Google. Google nicotine and testosterone and see how many results it takes you to get to the core truth, which is, yes, nicotine use raises testosterone levels. Man. It is way, way down. And that’s not an accident. They’re afraid of testosterone,” Carlson continued.
Democrat Party hypocrisy on display
Carlson’s guest, Dave Smith, admitted that increasing taxes on nicotine products works as fewer people smoke than ever before.
But Smith wondered why the government sought to punish some unhealthy behaviors and encouraged others.
Smith cited the number of fast-food restaurants across the country that serve high fat meals which are associated with obesity and heart disease.
“I go all throughout this country and like, yeah, people don’t smoke as much as they used to. But everywhere you go, it’s just Arby’s, McDonald’s, Burger King …” Smith began.
“It’s disgusting,” Carlson interjected.
Smith argued there was clearly something else going on because if Tim Walz and other Democrats were worried about health, they wouldn’t limit their attempts to use the tax code to influence behavior to just smoking.
“You know, it’s like — it’s not like health is really the concern here, so what is actually the concern?” Smith wondered.
“Oh, so you don’t have a problem with people being lethargic and obese. You have a problem with them smoking cigarettes. So. what explains that?” Smith asked.

I think the Mayor and those on council pushing this and city staff should give up their vehicles and ride their bikes/take public transportation to set a example to the tax paying public who wanted nothing to do with this.

For the Sept 10 meeting, we might tie in this document that shows an apparent plan to use the FCM to help shut down any voices of opposition to their big spending plans and make vile accusations against citizens. (This is exactly the kind of thing they just did in Stratford when citizens opposed some plans - they accused them with NO evidence of violating a new "workplace policy" which uses the vague word "offensive" to block residents.)
I wonder if our own mayor made this proposal at the recent FCM meeting?
See the 2nd page:
"That the federal government, work with provinces, territories, and local governments, including through FCM, to identify and implement measures to protect elected local government officials, their family members, and staff – especially women, members of Black and racialized communities, and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, persons with disabilities, and Indigenous people – from harassment, intimidation, and threats, thereby reinforcing a unified front to safeguard democracy; and be it further.."
FCM omitted "people of faith/religious convictions" from their list of protected persons. Hmmm?
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities [FCM] has violated the trust of the electors who never heard of giving council authority to partner with other governments.
Kathryn
Wow, you should contact them and note the "oversight" and ask our London rep. Skylar to ensure that gets included.
Copy the mayor, too, as he is as embedded as her.
CCAL will be very interested in their replies, or lack of them.
We need to hold these 2 accountable.

Since you say that Kathryn, I will ask Morgan in person when the Christian Churches Network of London (CCNL) holds their next luncheon on Oct. 24. He's the guest speaker.

Ya'ara Saks: See how she Lies; See how she Runs!
When Rebel News reporters were the only members of the media who showed up to ask questions, that's when Liberal MP and Trudeau cabinet Minister Ya'ara Saks decided to scrap her media availability.
How kooky are things getting in the weirdo world of Ya’ara Saks, that terrorist-loving Liberal MP for the Toronto riding of York Centre? Well, this kooky: Saks had scheduled a press conference for noon Friday in north Toronto.
Rebel News staffers Ezra Levant, Lincoln Jay, and I applied for media credentials to attend. And miraculously, all three of us received permission to attend. You see, the Liberals tend to deem Rebel News reporters as media non grata and routinely deny us credentials — but not this time.
Alas, what’s that old saying again? If it looks too good to be true it probably is? Because mere minutes before the presser was scheduled to take place, we received the following statement from Saks’s office: “Hello. The media availability is cancelled for all media. There were logistical challenges with the Minister's schedule, and she is no longer available for the media availability.”
Really? Is anyone buying that?
For starters, in what must’ve been so embarrassing for Minister Saks, aside from Rebel News, no other media actually bothered to show up.
So, we’re calling B.S. on that cancellation excuse. Saks clearly doesn’t want to answer hard-hitting questions from Rebel News as opposed to softballs from the CBC.
That was indeed the case recently at a University of Toronto press conference when Saks — who these days is giving the Cowardly Lion a run for his money — literally ran away from Lincoln Jay and I. Sad, really…
We did reach out to her office on Friday to get details about the abruptly cancelled presser. Our questions:
1. Why is the media availability cancelled?
2. Who made the decision to cancel it?
3. Is it because Rebel News is coming?
4. Are other media allowed in?
5. Given that the event is a public announcement, what part of the event is continuing, and how can it be observed or reported on? Is there a video link?
As for the response? Crickets.
Even so, we proceeded to the venue, nevertheless. And that’s when we observed more cowardice from Saks: she was almost an hour late for her own event and then sneaked into the building via a side entrance.
Wow, such a proud parliamentarian, eh? Indeed, she feels as though she is above answering questions. Such as: what the hell was she thinking going to the Middle East earlier this year to shake hands with “Pay for Slay” terrorist Mahmoud Abbas? Especially given the massacre that occurred in Israel last Oct. 7. Especially given that Saks herself is a Canadian-Israeli Jew. It's equal parts disturbing and baffling…
But is hiding the new normal for Ya’ara Saks? Forever literally running away from constituents and members of the independent media who are demanding accountability from her? It would seem so.
Saks is supposed to be a cabinet minister, but she acts like a terrified little mouse. It’s quite pathetic, really. And totally unbecoming behaviour for a member of Parliament.

Planned Parenthood fills ALL Appointments for Free Vasectomies, Abortions in Van Near Chicago DNC:
All available appointments for free abortions and vasectomies courtesy of Planned Parenthood of Great Rivers, Ill. have been filled. Planned Parenthood of Great Rivers announced that the window to sign up for the pregnancy termination and sterilizing services had closed because all appointments had been taken. Current VP and Dem presidential contender Kamala Harris has made abortion advocacy one of her hallmarks during the Biden-Harris administration."All free vasectomy and medication abortions are filled for our mobile health clinic in Chicago. Check back soon — we will share the interest form link again if we have cancellations," they said.
This came after the group posted an announcement that their mobile medical unit would be stationed near the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The group shared a post saying "It’s not too late to reserve your FREE medication abortion appointment at our mobile health clinic in Chicago’s West Loop 8/19 & 8/20," with a link to the Google document. "We currently have a waitlist for free vasectomies. Repost to spread the word!"The post was accompanied by a video of three women chanting "our pussies our choice" in front of The Wieners Circle, a Chicago street food vendor. The sign for The Wieners Circle reads "Protected abortion, IVF, contraception."
"Here we come, Chicago!" Planned Parenthood of Great Rivers announced in an earlier post. "Our mobile health clinic will be in the West Loop with Chicago Abortion Fund & the Weiners Circle Aug 19-20, providing FREE vasectomies & medication abortion. EC will also be available for free without an appointment." Planned Parenthood Great Rivers serves Missouri and Illinois.
The Google form, now full up with people seeking to end their pregnancies or prevent themselves from having children, read "Planned Parenthood Great Rivers is bringing our mobile health care unit to the DNC! We are offering vasectomy and medication abortions from the mobile unit in the West Loop. Services will be provided on a sliding-fee scale — pay what you can and get the health care you need." The appointments were available for Aug. 19 or 20. The link now reads that the spots are all taken. If there are cancellations, Planned Parenthood will make the form available again and open up to the waitlist.
For those who can't get the free appointments, there are many options for pregnancy termination in the Democrat-run city of Chicago, including at the Family Planning Associates clinic, which terminates more than 15,000 pregnancies every year. The clinic increased the number of abortions they perform by 20 percent since Roe v. Wade was overturned at the federal level.While the bus is not directly affiliated with the DNC, Planned Parenthood and abortion are mainstays of the Democrat left. Dem nominee for president Kamala Harris wants to enact federal abortion legislation to guarantee that abortions can be performed and obtained in all fifty states.
"I am being precise," Harris said in September 2023, long before taking the top of the ticket from her boss Joe Biden. "We need to put into law the protections of Roe v Wade. And that is about going back to where we were before the Dobbs decision."è4Harris' supporters in the abortion movement, however, say they want to "go beyond Roe." Mini Timmaraju, DEP of Reproductive Freedom for All, said "the debate is what we can get done and how quickly it can get done." Timmaraju also separated Harris from other leading Dems, saying "she has a longer history as an advocate, and she's a lot more comfortable with the issue."

Pallets of bricks delivered ahead of Chicago DNC; Antifa prepares for ‘summer of rage’
Suspicious deliveries of bricks have been reported in multiple locations across Chicago as the city braces for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) 'Hell Week.' Concerns mount as residents and officials recall similar tactics used by Antifa in past protests that erupted into widespread violence.
(SQAUK) CHICAGO — As the Democratic National Convention (DNC) approaches, Chicago has noticed a concerning trend that has raised alarm among residents and law enforcement. Pallets of bricks have mysteriously appeared on street corners, sparking speculation that the city could experience a new wave of organized chaos similar to other violent protests of previous years.
The presence of these bricks is not an isolated incident but a strategy with a well-known history. In the summer of 2020, similar deliveries were reported in various cities across the United States, including Minneapolis, New York, and Portland. These cities experienced protests against police brutality that turned into riots. Authorities and citizens connected these pallets of bricks to groups such as Antifa, alleging that the groups used them to arm protesters and stoke violence under the guise of legitimate demonstrations.
In Chicago, the arrival of these deliveries has rekindled concerns about ‘Hell Week’—a term used to describe the period surrounding the DNC due to the expected large-scale protests and civil unrest. The gathering of thousands of protesters, activists, and political groups, some with a history of radical action, creates the potential for confrontations.
Based on past events, these pallets of bricks could signal the possibility of violent clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement, leading to widespread property damage and chaos.
City officials and law enforcement agencies have reportedly increased surveillance. They monitor social media channels for signs of organized efforts to use bricks in planned attacks. Although no group has claimed responsibility for the deliveries, the strategic placement of these pallets in key locations raises the specter of an orchestrated campaign to turn peaceful protests into violent outbursts.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has urged calm and assured the public that the city is taking the necessary precautions to ensure safety during the DNC. However, many Chicagoans are haunted by memories of past summers when cities burned, and looting became rampant. The possibility of another ‘summer of rage’ looms large, especially with the added volatility of the current political climate.
As Chicago prepares for ‘Hell Week,’ the presence of these bricks is a stark reminder of the fine line between peaceful protest and violent unrest. The city’s response in the days ahead will be crucial in deciding whether Chicago will emerge from this challenge unharmed or be plunged into another chaotic summer.
With the DNC just around the corner, the city’s residents and law enforcement are on high alert. They hope for the best but prepare for the worst. The presence of these bricks could be an ominous sign that the next chapter in the ongoing struggle between radical groups and the establishment is about to unfold on the streets of Chicago. Will this be the flashpoint that reignites a nationwide wave of violence, or will the city maintain control and keep the peace? Only time will tell as the countdown to ‘Hell Week’ continues.

"Power Out" Communications:
Unless you invest in becoming a ham operator, chances are you're going to scramble to find out what's going on after a few days in the dark without power. Churches could be a potential resource or a good place to help, but most Canadians haven't prepared for extended disasters or emergency situations. Ask me about the handbook available from CCNL. Having a network of informed friends can be invaluable. Someone might have access to a Satellite phone (around $100 monthly) or even a simple multi-band radio that includes short-wave reception (for as little as $15 to $50).
Here's a bargain, a multi-band receiver with hand-crank. They normally run over $100 each. Just $37 today at Walmart here in London.

Re... That Tsunami Warning in yesterday’s BLOG:
Earthquake scientists are learning warning signs of the 'big one.' When should they tell the public? (nbcnews.com)
COPALIS BEACH, WASH. — When Japan issued its first-ever “megaquake” warning last week, Harold Tobin, Washington state’s seismologist, was watching carefully.
The advisory came after a 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck the southern island of Kyushu. Although that shaking caused little major damage — the biggest tsunami wave it produced would have risen up to your knee — it wasn’t the main worry.
Rather, seismologists were concerned that the quake would create stress that could trigger a bomb ticking offshore: Japan’s Nankai trough, likely the country’s most dangerous fault. The subduction zone has the potential to generate 100-foot-tall tsunami waves and kill nearly a third of a million people, according to Japanese government estimates.
Did the smaller quake mean that the “big one” was on the doorstep? No one could say for sure, but the odds were suddenly higher — if only by a few percentage points.“Exactly what might keep me up at night,” Tobin said, if it were happening on the U.S. West Coast.
In Japan, the advisory prompted officials to close beaches, cancel fireworks celebrations and slow trains. People rushed to stock up on emergency supplies.
In the U.S., Tobin said, “we don’t have such a protocol.”We do, however, have a similarly dangerous fault: the Cascadia subduction zone.
A magnitude-9.0 earthquake on the Cascadia fault and the resulting tsunami would kill an estimated 14,000 people in Oregon and Washington, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

1. SPACEAsteroid that killed the dinosaurs was water-rich and traveled far before slamming into earth
But if a smaller quake like the one Japan just saw happened near Cascadia, seismologists would have to decide on the fly whether and how to alert the public.
It’s the scenario Tobin has been thinking about for years: If he finds clues that a devastating earthquake is more likely, even just slightly, what warrants sounding the alarm? If the odds say you would be crying wolf — should you?
“You don’t want a mass evacuation panic that’s not warranted, but you want people not to go on their merry ways,” Tobin said.
His quandary is, in part, the product of this strange time in Tobin’s field: Researchers think they are homing in on the triggers or precursors of earthquakes in the world’s most dangerous seismic regions, but the science is far from settled. And even when the likelihood of an earthquake could be higher, the chances remain small. That leaves high-stakes questions about when to issue a warning.
On a chilly summer day in Washington state, Tobin and a dozen other scientists canoed up the Copalis River to a graveyard of cedar trees killed 324 years ago.A kingfisher chittered and the wind sent shivers through tall, golden grass. It’s a peaceful place about a mile from the Pacific shore that tells the story of a violent day.
On Jan. 26, 1700, an earthquake on the Cascadia fault caused the forest to lurch downward by more than 3 feet. Soon after, a tsunami perhaps 100 feet high barreled through at 20 or 30 mph.
The scientists were visiting the forest to view the geologic evidence of the Cascadia quake in person. Occasionally, they’d hop out of their canoes, dig through the muck and pull out a 300-year-old pine cone as evidence.
Experts know the earthquake was at least a magnitude-8.7, because that’s how powerful it had to be to send the wave across the world that was documented in Japan.
“Some of the very best written records of our tsunami in 1700 come from Nankai,” said Brian Atwater, a USGS geologist emeritus who led the canoe flotilla. Atwater has used those Japanese records, along with plants buried in tsunami-deposited sand and dates from the rings of the Washington cedar trees, to piece together that tsunami’s story.
Research by USGS geophysicist Danny Brothers indicates there have likely been at least 30 large earthquakes over the last 14,200 years in sections of the Cascadia subduction zone, which runs along the U.S. West Coast from Northern California to northern Vancouver Island. A large earthquake there can be expected at least once every 450-500 years, on average.But for years, Cascadia has remained quiet; some scientists say that’s because much of it is “locked” and building stress. When it rips, a chunk of the seafloor will lurch forward — perhaps by dozens of feet or more. The vertical displacement of the seafloor will send a tsunami toward shore.
“It’s going to be the worst natural disaster in our country’s history,” said Robert Ezelle, the director of Washington state’s emergency management division.
For seismologists, the key question now is how to forecast this future violence. Fast-developing research is hinting that faults like Cascadia and Nankai might send out warning signals: a smaller quake as a foreshock, or a subtle groan only detectable by sensors, which scientists call a slow-slip event.
In Tobin’s nightmare scenario, the Cascadia fault suddenly issues that type of groan. Then — what to do?
If a major Cascadia quake were to hit, more than 100,000 people would be injured, projections say — assuming the quake hits when few people are at the beach. The shaking would last five minutes. Tsunami waves would batter the coast for 10 hours.
Inland hillsides would liquify, taking out roads and bridges. Some 620,000 buildings would be critically damaged or collapse, including an estimated 100 hospitals and 2,000 schools.
“We’re unprepared,” Ezelle said frankly.
Washington state advises residents that they would likely have to fend for themselves and against the elements for two weeks.
“It’s going to be neighbors taking care of neighbors,” Ezelle said.
A map of the Pacific Ring of Fire — where tectonic plates converge to form subduction zones and volcanoes — leaves Ezelle particularly uneasy.
“Over the last 50 to 60 years, and you will see that every subduction zone fault has had a major rupture — with the exception of Cascadia,” he said.
Japan ended its “megaquake” advisory on Thursday, after no unusual activity was detected on the Nankai trough.In a similar situation in New Zealand in 2016, things played out a little differently.
That November, the magnitude-7.8 Kaikoura earthquake rumbled off the east side of New Zealand’s South Island, killing two and causing more than a billion dollars in damage.
A day later, scientists noticed a few centimeters of movement near the shore of the North Island via satellite monitoring. Subtle vibrations were emanating from the Hikurangi Margin, a subduction zone and the country’s largest fault, which is directly under the capital city of Wellington.
It was a slow-slip earthquake, the sloth of the seismic world, kicked off by the Kaikoura shaking. Such quakes release their energy slowly over weeks or months and don’t cause perceptible shaking. Scientists first recognized their existence about two decades ago, thanks to advances in GPS technology.
Some scientists, like Tobin and geophysicist Laura Wallace, think these slow-slip events might sometimes precede big subduction zone quakes. Scientists recorded a slow-slip event in 2011 before the magnitude-9 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, which killed more than 18,000 people and touched off the Fukushima nuclear disaster. A similar pattern played out in 2014, before a magnitude-8.1 earthquake in Chile.
Wallace, who was working for the New Zealand research institute GNS Science at the time of the 2016 quake, spent her waking hours scrambling to track the quake’s every movement, model risk and answer questions from the government.
“I don’t think I’ve ever felt such an immense load of responsibility,” Wallace said. “I was taking my dog with me to the office because if we had a big earthquake, I didn’t want to be separated from my dog.”
Wallace and her colleagues determined that the probability of a major earthquake was elevated as much as 18 times, and that the risk within a year was 0.6% to 7%. But the big one never materialized.
“Which of these slow-slip events are going to essentially trigger the next big one?” Wallace said. “It’s one of the most important problems we’re trying to understand.”
For the Cascadia subduction zone, gaining a better understanding of the warning signs requires more data on slow-slip events, improved mapping of the fault zone and an enhanced capability of monitoring faults on the seafloor.
Tobin was part of a team that recently mapped the Cascadia subduction zone in the greatest detail yet. They found the fault is separated into four sections, which could rupture all at once or individually in succession. The individual segments are capable of producing a magnitude-8 earthquake or higher.Meanwhile, researchers are trying to bolster the offshore monitoring network for Cascadia.
Japan has a sophisticated array of seafloor sensors, but it’s “one of the few places that have those instruments,” said David Schmidt, a geophysicist at the University of Washington.
The U.S. lags on seafloor monitoring, but Schmidt and Tobin are part of a group that received $10.6 million in federal funding to add seismic sensors and seafloor pressure gauges to a fiber optic cable off the Oregon coast.
The devices will help keep tabs on Cascadia. If the data can help researchers learn about what’s normal for the fault, they might also be able to determine when it’s time to worry.

Tx to Joanne Thomas for asking,
"Can you believe this is in Canada?"

Earlier this month, the government announced that by 2025, they hope to bring in 500,000 new immigrants a year, up about 25% from 2021 numbers.
A unique place in the world
Today, 25% Canadians have come to the country as an immigrant, the highest among G7 nations. Compare that to the US, known colloquially as the world's melting pot, where only 14% are an immigrant.
The UK also has an immigrant population of about 14%.
Patrick’s comments:
Churches need to note this projection and help new arrivals in week-day activities. They will join bible studies just to learn English! And be careful to show commonality with other like-minded churches because the variety of denominations can be confusing and a turn-off. Cross-denominational events will help to show that "we who are friends of Jesus are also friends of each other, members of one body, one family, one holy army, one mystery that reflects perfectly the unblemished facets of the bride prepared for her marriage to the Groom."

From a good Friend:
Be AWARE...
The following information [sent from a Friend] would seem to corroborate much of what I have been sending in my RUMOR – RUMOR – RUMOR SECTION Following these points...
Be AWARE:
The Stand-Up America US Foundation intelligence team has been deep diving into “who is really running the US government." The team in charge operates behind closed doors at the White House. Obama is the in-place leader who controls and directs operations daily. Like ‘Spectre' in a James Bond movie, the team controls much of the country and the world. United States of America, the supposed sole remaining global superpower, has operated in a bizarre state of suspended animation
They (coordinated by Susan Rice) are responsible for creating Biden' and Harris' daily schedule, daily talking points, and policy statements. Also, it is closely tied to the communist Democrat Party to provide "Talking Points of the Day" and confidential talking points to the media and Wall Street supporters...
For three weeks, the United States of America, the supposed sole remaining global superpower, has operated in a bizarre state of suspended animation. Indeed, the world has continued spinning (out of control, we might add). However, few seem to be interested in President Biden's effective expulsion from the reelection race by his fellow Democrat Party elites. Since then, he has been kept mostly out of the public spotlight. Meanwhile, his vice president, Kamala Harris, who has succeeded him as the presumptive Democrat Party presidential candidate, is anywhere but in Washington.
“The Council” (Deep State) and everything that stems from it have been in control of the United States for the past fifty years, with the sole purpose of siphoning our nation’s wealth. Our founders designed our constitutional government and the federal workforce to protect our wealth and the 'public good' of the American people. However, the Council’s mission is to crush and obliterate it.

SUMMARY:
NOTE:
“My Fellow Americans, The Storm is Upon Us.”“God Bless.”…President Donald Trump Sun. 18 Aug. 2024
A Worldwide Call For PrayerTo Save Freedom For AllFrom The Satanic Clutches Of The Cabal
It’s only wise to have at least a month’s supply of food, water, cash, medicine and essential items on hand for yourself, your family and to share with others in case of emergency.
The Deep State Cabal was about to launch their Project Blue Beam to fool The People that we were being invaded by Aliens so they could “save” us by bringing in their all-controlling New World Order One World Government – an agenda that on Sun. 18 Aug. the [Content Redacted] Pope Francis urged his followers worldwide to endorse, along with his One World Religion ruled by Satan.
That Satanic Agenda included implementation of a global digital currency that would control your life, the eradication of private property and reduction of the human population to “sustainable” levels, which was nothing less than a declaration of war on the human spirit.
This week the Deep State-Create-Chaos-Agenda would be supported by 74,445 Antifa Rioters (complete with stacks of bricks at major intersections furnished to them by Chicago’s Mayor ) who were already causing chaos in a business-district-boarded-up-Chicago to ensure that riots occurred around the DNC Convention this week.
Meanwhile there were reported to be 10,000 National Guardsmen in another boarded up city, Washington DC, while President Trump announced the long awaited for “The Storm is Upon Us.”
[Content Redacted]
So, what the heck does that all mean? What should we do?
On Sun. 18 Aug. Telegram a diehard “Patriot Connie” may have had the answer: “We are God’s Army. Your job is not to judge. Your job is not to figure out if someone deserves something. Your job is to lift the fallen, to restore the broken and to heal the hurting. Your job is to give away kindness.”
· Sun. 18 Aug. 2024 Breaking News Alert: Pope Francis Commands the World to Submit to Klaus Schwab as ‘Universal Bishop’ in a Shocking Vatican Decree – The People’s Voice Video – amg-news.com – American Media Group Pope Francis has declared Klaus Schwab the ‘Universal Bishop,’ sparking outrage within the Vatican and beyond. This shocking betrayal of Christian faith aligns the Church with Schwab’s globalist agenda, raising questions about the future of Christianity in the end times. Klaus Schwab is not a savior. He is a tyrant in waiting. His ideas, which include the implementation of a global digital currency, the eradication of private property, and the reduction of the human population to “sustainable” levels, are nothing less than a declaration of war on the human spirit. And Pope Francis, in his infinite folly, has chosen to side with this monstrous vision, rather than defend the sanctity of human life and the teachings of Christ.

Sat. 17 Aug. 2024: Hi Judy, There is so much misinformation out there. I’ve said for a long time now that in my personal opinion there are a number of things that need to happen before the new funds are released: (1) Biden/Harris removed (2) collapse of stock exchange and banks (3) collapse of housing market (4) USA federal USD collapse. Only then can a Savior come in and save the day. (That was the DS plan all along) to bring in their CBDC which is now being rejected. The World had to see it and see through it first. It’s important we do not get ahead of ourselves. This is God’s plan. Not man’s. And God’s Plan is perfect. Man’s Plan is not. …Charlie Ward Sat. 17 Aug. 2024
