Could it be possible that a full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano is not too far away? All over the world seismic activity has been increasing in recent years, and this process seems to have accelerated during the early days of 2019. In particular, quite a few once dormant volcanoes are springing to life again, and this has many concerned about what could potentially happen at Yellowstone. Of course Yellowstone has never been “dormant”, but there have been new signs of life over the past six months. Entirely new geysers have sprung out of the ground, Steamboat Geyser has been the most active that it has been in decades, and some geysers have even been shooting “debris and rocks” into the sky. And now we are being told that “a 465-mile-long piece of molten rock” is “rising” directly under Yellowstone… SCIENTISTS are closely monitoring a 465-mile-long piece of molten rock rising below the Yellowstone caldera, a bombshell documentary has revealed. The supervolcano, located in Yellowstone National Park, has erupted three times in history – 2.1 million years ago, 1.2 million years ago and 640,000 years ago. Volcanoes typically blow when molten rock, known as magma, rises to the surface following the Earth’s mantle melting due to tectonic plates shifting. However, geologists have revealed how Yellowstone’s magma chamber, which sits on top of the magma plume, is slowly rising each year. Hopefully nothing major will happen at Yellowstone for a very long time. But experts assure us that another full-blown eruption will take place one day, and when it does, it could potentially create a global “volcanic winter” which would make growing crops almost impossible and ultimately cause horrific global famines. The following quote comes from Dr. Christopher Kilburn… “As a result of which, the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth drops and, as a consequence of that, it will trigger what is called a volcanic winter in that the temperatures never get a chance to recover. “So you go through winter, the ash veil prevents the sun from warming up the earth seasonally so you just get continued winters which might trigger, ultimately, extensive ice coverage.” If Yellowstone were to erupt today, none of our lives would ever be the same again from that moment on. We are talking about a disaster that is on a scale that most of us couldn’t even imagine, and it would instantly render most of the country completely uninhabitable. The following is an extended excerpt from one of my previous articles about Yellowstone… I would like to try to describe for you what a full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano would mean for this country. Hundreds of cubic miles of ash, rock and lava would be blasted into the atmosphere, and this would likely plunge much of the northern hemisphere into several days of complete darkness. Virtually everything within 100 miles of Yellowstone would be immediately killed, but a much more cruel fate would befall those that live in major cities outside of the immediate blast zone such as Salt Lake City and Denver. Hot volcanic ash, rock and dust would rain down on those cities literally for weeks. In the end, it would be extremely difficult for anyone living in those communities to survive. In fact, it has been estimated that 90 percent of all people living within 600 miles of Yellowstone would be killed. Experts project that such an eruption would dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away, and approximately two-thirds of the United States would suddenly become uninhabitable. The volcanic ash would severely contaminate most of our water supplies, and growing food in the middle of the country would become next to impossible. In other words, it would be the end of our country as we know it today. The rest of the planet, and this would especially be true for the northern hemisphere, would experience what is known as a “nuclear winter”. An extreme period of “global cooling” would take place, and temperatures around the world would fall by up to 20 degrees. Crops would fail all over the planet, and severe famine would sweep the globe. In the end, billions could die. Scientists are constantly monitoring Yellowstone for potential signs of an eruption, but the truth is that a major disaster of this magnitude would probably come with little or no warning. It is undeniable that in recent months there have been signs of increased activity at Yellowstone. That doesn’t mean that an eruption is imminent, but without a doubt it should be a cause for concern. And this is especially true considering all of the shaking that we are seeing elsewhere around the globe. Just within the past few days we have seen a magnitude 4.1 earthquake hit California and a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Anchorage, Alaska. The latter one definitely shook a lot of people up… Residents took to earthquake monitoring site EMSC to share their experiences. One said: “Long and big. Significant anxiety spike! Another added: “That was scary. Hard quake.” We are not even to the middle of January, and there have already been more than 100 significant earthquakes in Alaska so far this year. That is not normal. Our planet appears to be going through some major changes, and many believe that all of this seismic activity is an indication that things are about to become quite apocalyptic. I am personally of the opinion that we are going to continue to see a rise in the number of earthquakes and that we are going to continue to see a rise in the number of volcanic eruptions. As I have said before, the shell of our planet is cracked, and we are just floating on the pieces. Now those pieces appear to be getting increasingly unstable, and that is going to affect us in ways that most people cannot even imagine right now.

All true,but I believe there HAS to be a "Plan B" in place to activate if it looks like the plates are building up too much pressure. It might not be pleasant or something people want to hear about,but something like a plan to set off a small nuke device in Yellowstone to release pressure before it comes to a "natural boil" might be feasible. Given that the results would destroy Yellowstone as a park and endanger millions of lives for those who live near,it is not going to be something that will be discussed much in public,but you can believe there is some sort of "doomsday plan" in place. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I suggest we move D. C. to Yellowstone and solve the problems.
A nuke would immediately trigger the massive game changing eruption. I don't think there's anyway to prevent it. The elite have their underground cities to escape to if something like that ever happens. Ever hear of the underground base under Denver International Airport? We need to pour all of our national resources into building a shield over Israel, our best ally. Israel must be preserved into perpetuity so the story of the Holocaust can never be lost to history even in the face of real, catastrophic, climate change. *sarcasm* “With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." Engineers have used controlled explosives for decades. The idea is a smaller explosion that is localized and does little damage but eases the pressure is much better than the larger and more dangerous explosion that will happen if you let the pressure continue to build. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Right, but we're talking about a super volcano that could cause an extinction event.
well pete, as you are goofy enough to suggest a nuke you are goofy enough to stand down wind and monitor fall out levels. Maybe a MOAB bunker-buster down Old Faithful would pop the pimple, so to speak.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
You don't know diddly-squat about explosives,do you? Here is a hint for you. Not all nukes are planet busters. There have been nukes so small they could be fired in 105 mm recoiless rifles for decades. Building a small nuke into a shape charge that releases a minimum of radiation into the atmosphere is no real challenge for the people that do that stuff. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Davy Crockett (nuclear device) Duck and cover! “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
Haha yes yes of course since you say so. 😂🙄 In a 1973 article, Time used the term "Project Dubious" to describe Operation Plowshare. Project Plowshare shows how something intended to improve national security can unwittingly do the opposite if it fails to fully consider the social, political, and environmental consequences. It also “underscores that public resentment and opposition can stop projects in their tracks”. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
To give you some idea of how long those things have been around,look at the flat top fatigue hat that soldier is wearing. The Army did away with those in the very early 60's.

I remember the early GI Joe's had those flat topped covers, I never saw them on actual soldiers when I was a kid in early '70s, I thought they were WWII era. RPG based nukes obviously were not.

except for the millions of pounds of HBX-1, HBX-3, H-6, PBXN-103 I've worked on during the 22 years I was a Navy Mineman. stand your goofy ass downwind of your nuke. you would be doing alcon a favor.
Working with specific explosives that are already packed in mines might impress some people,but doesn't mean squat to me. It's the equivalent of doing oil changes at a car dealership and calling yourself a mechanic. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
thank you pete it always gives me a chuckle when you try to grab a fistful of rain.

I used to be in a hurry, then I figured out I was just getting nowhere fast.

Project Plowshare - Wikipedia Project Plowshare was the overall United States program for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. As part of the program, 31 nuclear warheads were detonated in 27 separate tests. Plowshare was the US portion of what are called Peaceful Nuclear Explosions (PNE), a similar Soviet program was carried out under the name Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy.
