“It’s burning up in these canyons deep, burning out over the bowls and spreading out…. …. We’re unable to get our trucks and units down into the fire so. Basically, the only way is only with dozers and air support is the only way we’ll be able to get this knocked down.”-Jim Shelton, Blaine County Emergency Management 

This year’s fire season doesn’t seem as profuse as previous years.  Don’t tell that to people in Oklahoma, already more than 8-thousand acres (3237 hectares) have burned since 14JUL2022.

KOCO report from 15JUL2022, points out that the fire is negatively affecting a major food source:

Disaster Warnings: Tornado forecasting, it started with the USAF in 1948!

Image

According to an April 1998 article written by a former historian with the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center, James Crowder, tornado forecasting began in 1948, after two tornadoes touched down on Tinker Air Force Base (AFB), Oklahoma.

At one time Tinker AFB was used to store more than 2-thousand World War Two aircraft. The Twin Twister hit several of the P-47 Thunderbolts.

The first tornado struck on 20MAR1948, the second on 25MAR1948.  The U.S. Air Force (USAF) weather (wx) forecasters on duty that day were new to the area, and were using an early form of wx radar that was actually a cannibalized bombing/navigation radar (AN-PQ-13) off a B-29 bomber!  They had forecasted gusty winds, but 30 minutes after their forecast a storm popped-up on their bombing radar, and it produced a tornado.

This photo is dated 20MAR1948. C-54 transports now fraternizing with B-29 bombers.

Final damage cost estimate of the 20MAR1948 tornado was  $10.25-million (in 1948 dollars), six people injured. The based commander, Major General Fred S. ‘Fritz’ Borum, was outraged at the lack of warning. The Major General was an armchair scientist, and known as an innovator and experimenter.  Major General Borum ordered the creation of the first official tornado disaster preparedness plan, then he ordered the two top wx officers on base to do something never done before; forecast tornadoes.

Major Ernest J. Fawbush and Captain Robert C. Miller were literal veteran wx-men, serving in the Pacific Theater of the Second World War.  Going by what James Crowder wrote, they seemed obsessed with the idea of formulating a way to determine if a thunderstorm would produce tornadoes.  They worked almost non stop gathering as much data as they could, their ‘shop’ became the first severe wx warning research center in the United States.  Then on 25MAR1948, while having lunch Fawbush and Miller noticed the wx changing much like it did five days prior, they notified their ‘higher-ups’.  They, and the base commander, watched on that former B-29 radar as the storm system grew bigger.  The Major General demanded a definite prediction about a possible tornado, “Are we going to have another tornado or not?”, they responded by giving the first ever tornado alert by simply saying “Yes; yes, sir. We are.” 

However, almost two hours went by without a tornado, the USAF wx forecasters thought for sure their careers were over, then another hour went by and boom, the second tornado hit. While everybody was sheltering, the base commander stood in the doorway of his living quarters and watch the twister tear through even more aircraft.

Major Fawbush and Captain Miller were soon flooded with data from private sector wx-men, the Oklahoma City Weather Bureau, the National Weather Bureau, as well as the USAF’s Air Weather Service, and the U.S. Navy’s weather organizations. In February 1951, they established the USAF’s Severe Weather Warning Center on Tinker AFB.  Of the 75 tornado predictions they made, 67 of them actually happened.  They both had long careers predicting wx for the U.S. military/government.  Major General ‘Fritz’ Borum retired from the USAF in 1954.

False Flag or Incompetence? Proof it was the World’s biggest Thermobaric bomb! Nerve Gas?

20 August 2015 (22:34 UTC-07 Tango 01, 19 August 2015)/29 Mordad 1394/05 Dhu al-Qa’dah 1436/07 Jia-Shen (7th month) 4713

“We were shocked to find out that these three companies were able to store extremely dangerous chemicals so close to public areas including kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools….this information was not known by people living close to the dangerous storage warehouse. This is a clear violation of the regulations.”– Wu Yixiu, Greenpeace East Asia

Is this a big insurance pay-off scam?  One estimate said insurance companies will payout at least $1.5-billion USD to companies affected by the Tianjin explosions.

There are reports of nerve gas being detected at the epicenter of the thermobaric explosions that hit now non-existent Rui Hai International Logistics warehouse in Binhai district, Tianjin, China.  The estimated strength of those blasts has been increased to 24 metric tons (24-thousand kilograms).

City administrators downplayed the reports of nerve gas saying air monitoring sites outside the blast area do not detect nerve gas, but it was local firefighters conducting decontamination work that made the report about nerve gas.  The big problem is that the company operating the warehouse is now believed to have lied about what was being stored.  This comes as the international environmentalist radical group Greenpeace claims they’ve discovered there were two other companies that were illegally storing toxic chemicals within the blast area, before the fire and explosions rocked Tianjin.

“There are around 40 types of hazardous chemicals stocked in the warehouse, mainly in three categories. This includes 1,300 tonnes [metric tons] of ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate; 500 tonnes of metal sodium and magnesium and 700 tonnes of sodium cyanide.”-He Shushan, Vice Mayor of Tianjin.

Besides the benzene, hydrogen and sodium cyanide previously reported, the latest reports say potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate, magnesium and calcium carbide were among many chemicals being warehoused.

Magnesium can be used for welding, and in armor defeating thermite grenades and incendiary bombs.

Calcium carbide is used in fertilizers and in the metals industry.  It can be mixed with water to create flammable acetylene gas.   It’s been raining in Tianjin, so besides the concern over the sodium cyanide contamination, there was concern about rainwater mixing with the calcium carbide.  The good news is that city administrators say the rain has apparently cleared Tianjin streets of the residual contamination.

Nitrates can be used as food preservatives, fertilizers or explosives.  Bomb detectors used by the U.S. TSA at U.S. airports detect chemicals including nitrates.  I had a relative who was flying back to California and he had bought an Idaho made smoked sausage.  I knew it would set off the bomb alarm at the Pocatello Airport, and it sure did.  It was hilarious to watch the TSA employees’ befuddled facial expression as they ran their hand held scanner over a less than foot long sausage that apparently was a bomb!  I pointed out that sausages are made with nitrates, they looked at the ingredient label and seemed amazed to see nitrates as one of the ingredients.  They let my relative board the plane with his treasured Idaho sausage.

In April 1995, the U.S. federal Murrah Building in Oklahoma City was destroyed by a truck bomb made with thousands of pounds of ammonium nitrate and acetylene (made with calcium carbide), as well as other ingredients.  Another 324 buildings in a 16 block radius were damaged.  168 people killed.

Back in Tianjin, the People’s Liberation Army NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) teams have been rotating 40 minute excursions into the epicenter, it’s that contaminated.

Government & Corporate Incompetence: USGS says 6 fold increase in U.S. earthquakes caused by Oil Industry! California watch out!

“A remarkable increase in the rate of M 3 and greater earthquakes is currently in progress in the U.S. midcontinent. The average number of M >= 3 earthquakes/year increased starting in 2001, culminating in a six-fold increase over 20th century levels in 2011.”-USGS study, Are Seismicity Rate Changes in the Midcontinent Natural or Manmade?

Around the beginning of January 2012, officials from the U.S. Geological Survey testified to Ohio state officials, that the fracking going on in their state was the cause of a sudden string of earthquakes.

In July 2011, the state of Arkansas banned fracking for the same reasons.

Now a new study by USGS geologists, published by Seismological Society of America (SSA), confirms that “…the seismicity rate changes described here are almost certainly manmade…”, due to “…oil and gas production.”

The study will be discussed in more detail at a meeting from April 17-19.

USGS scientists point out that the area of increased quake activity is not normal for that part of the United States: “A naturally-occurring rate change of this magnitude is unprecedented outside of volcanic settings or in the absence of a main shock, of which there were neither in this region.”

The abstract details of the study also say: “The modest increase that began in 2001 is due to increased seismicity in the coal bed methane field of the Raton Basin along the Colorado-New Mexico border west of Trinidad, CO. The acceleration in activity that began in 2009 appears to involve a combination of source regions of oil and gas production, including the Guy, Arkansas region, and in central and southern Oklahoma.”

But this is not the only recent study published by the SSA to link oil production with earthquakes. Another report linked the April 2010 Alice, Texas earthquake to oil production in the Stratton field: “We conclude it is plausible, although not proven definitively, that production in the Stratton field contributed to the occurrence of the 2010 Alice earthquake and an earlier similar earthquake that occurred on 24 March 1997.”

So far most of the quakes are taking place in areas that don’t normally have much seismic activity, but California has plenty of earthquakes, and there’s a lot of oil and gas drilling, including fracking, going on there!

“On the one hand, the Division [California agency regulating petroleum industry] remains in denial about fracking for oil. On the other hand, they ask for and receive funding to regulate it and then don’t do it, and have no plans to do it [‘it’ as in ‘regulate’].”-Bill Allayaud, Environmental Working Group

Global Food Crisis: Where’s the beef? Texas drought killing the cattle industry

“Consumers are going to pay more because we’re going to have less beef. Fewer cows, calves, less beef production and increasing [demand for] exports.”-David Anderson, Texas AgriLife Extension Service

Texas is officially suffering its worst drought ever!  The decline in cows just more proof.

Texas is now seeing the biggest drop in cattle since the U.S. Great Depression in 1930s.  This year they lost more than 600,000 cattle.  Not all to death directly caused by drought, or early slaughter, some were moved out of state to, literally, greener pastures.

It’s not just Texas, but Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana and Arkansas also saw an increase in loss of cattle due to drought.

This past year beef prices for U.S. consumers went up 9%. The USDA predicts another 5.5% increase for 2012.
