Yellowstone Volcano Eruption: Report Claims That US Has Contingency Deals Worldwide!

Yellowstone Volcano Eruption: Report Claims That US Has Contingency Deal With Brazil, Australia

If the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts then millions of U.S. citizens could end up in Brazil, Australia, or Argentina.

That’s according to the South African news website Praag, which said that the African National Congress was offered $10 billion a year for 10 years if it would build temporary housing for Americans in case of an eruption.

The potential eruption of the supervolcano, one of the biggest in the world, has been a hot topic ever since videos of animals allegedly fleeing the area before an earthquake were posted online. Although the veracity of the claims haven’t been backed up, dozens of bloggers and others have been trying to figure out what, if anything, is going on.

One of the latest theories is that the U.S. Geological Service and its partners, which keep an eye on the caldera, are hiding data from the public.

The Praag article says that the South African government fears that placing so many Americans in South Africa could dramatically change the country.

“South Africa will not be part of the plan, because there is a risk that millions of white Americans could be sent to South Africa in an emergency situation and that this would pose a risk to black national culture identity,” Dr. Siph Matwetwe, spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs, is quoted as saying.

“We have our own challenges, even if there is enough housing and infrastructure available, it will destabilize the country and may even bring back apartheid.”

The gigantic volcano in Yellowstone has erupted three times over the last two million years, covering a huge area of surrounding land. Maps from educational institutions and government officials project that up to 17 states could be fully or partially impacted if the volcano erupted again. The far south of Canada could also get hit, as well as the far north of Mexico.

Scientists aren’t sure when it will erupt next, although many have sought to assure the public that it probably won’t for a while. In reality, the volcano could erupt at any time, though officials would in theory be able to detect an impending eruption and alert Americans to the threat.

File this tidbit under: Things that make you go Hmmm....

I also found the comments an interesting read.


And this also makes me wonder about a lot of other seemingly disconnected news items that might be related to this inevitable volcanic event if you were aware it was coming and you were trying to connect the dots right back to it.

Such as the notable rise in internet clatter from allegedly unnamed sources high in the government that some sort of national disaster might take place soon. Yet the disaster news bloggers never seem to really nail down what the cause of that natural or man made disaster might be that is supposedly looming menacingly on the horizon.

Not to mention the fact that at least one high ranking government official has also admitted as much, and without spilling the beans about any crucial details, like what that natural disaster might actually be they are preparing for.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politic...s-cyber-attackunprecedented-natural-disaster/

... and a natural disaster — the likes of which the nation has never seen — is also likely on its way. So prepare, and bring “a large bottle of Advil.”

Meanwhile, I also found this interesting and possibly relevant. It's a natural disaster hotspots report from the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), Columbia University.

The most obvious glaring omission I can find in this highly detailed global hazard report is relevant geological data relating to the Yellowstone super volcano is noticeably missing from this hazard report under volcanic threat assessments, except for possibly the first earthquake assessment. Surely The World Bank and Columbia University would not have simply overlooked or neglected to add natural disaster hazard assessments about the Yellowstone Super Volcano unless they were advised by someone higher up the food chain to remove or not include Yellowstone data in their otherwise detailed global natural hazard assessment report.

If it's not on FOX news, I won't believe it :awe:

Housing isn't the main issue, transportation is, no way in hell would it matter unless you had several months of advanced warning to start shipping LARGE numbers of people elsewhere. Tent cities would make more sense anyway, but moving any significant number of americans would be nigh on impossible.

 

[lxskllr]

Bring it on. Throw up some ash, and blot out the sun. We could use some cooling, and I could use a summer that doesn't suck.

 

[ndmrpwr]

Oh no I live about 95 miles from the red dot. Should I be scared?

A website named theepochtimes is probably the equivalent of a supermarket tabloid for reliability.

I would expect the federal government to have at least some sort of contingency plan in place for as many potentially foreseeable future events as possible. It wouldn't surprise me if some sort of plan is penciled out for this. As far as the government "hiding" those plans from the public, well if you feel this is that likely a possibility go ahead and book your own tickets for Rio now.

I wonder how much emergency housing for how many people does 10 billion dollars buy, anyhow? What about building an infrastructure to support the housing? Obviously they would need at the very least water, sewage and trash pickups as well. Power would also be needed, but could be rationed as long as the basic needs were met. And how many of these foreign US colonies would be needed and in how many countries? And how many people would have to be relocated?

And as several posters already commented in the news article, part of the evacuation plan could include dividing refugees into ethnic or racial groups, at least as much as possible, depending on where the US colonies were. Then the racial concerns of the ANC would be partially addressed concerning a possible return to apartheid, which I doubt would happen to them just because of our evacuees in any case.

And concerning evacuating people and transportation. The first priority would be getting people in imminent danger out of the blast radius. Which means people would be traveling away in every possible direction to escape the pending eruption, at least if scientists knew it was pending, that is. If it happened suddenly in the span of minutes or even a few hours, then evacuation for those in the blast radius might not be possible, obviously. What they don't know is if it will be one quick, giant upheaval, or if it will be multiple large eruptions, or it could even go on for months or possibly even years with even smaller eruptions.

In any event, air transportation for most or all of the North American continent will likely be impossible. Which then limits possible evacuations to land (vehicles or railway) or water transportation.

Nope, in fact you probably have it better than the rest of us, instant vaporization seems a lot easier than being shipped to south america for months/years.

I'll try to remember to post your name in the Memorial thread.

well from my basic calculations, not fuckin much.

Just paying for food alone that might be enough money to feed 5-10 million people for a year.

 

[SlickSnake]

I don't know, are you? If you look at the ash deposits on the graph, they look like they are generally carried by the wind somewhat away from Idaho. But that don't mean you wouldn't be buried under 10's or hundreds of feet of hot ash and lava if the winds were favorable.

Plenty of cattle ships, car ships, container ships and oil tankers to ship all americans.

As long as Canada is not affected, bring it on. The Canadian Shield FTW. :biggrin:

Meanwhile the President is spending over twice that amount on choppers...

I guess the doomsday preppers need something else to talk about since 2012 fizzled.

 

[BarkingGhostar]

The affected areas seem like a good thing to me. Oil refineries intact. SF still alive. Take out the anti-evolution Texans and Southern California. Yep, all good.

Except the main source of the US food supply will be buried under a bunch of ash and not farmable. But who needs to eat, amirite.

We can buy food from China. I can't wait...

 

[disappoint]

Is this thing going to bury those religious nutters? Cause I was hoping they could be educated rather than eliminated. I'd like to vaporize religion, not the religious.

Don't give them any ideas. Those borderline paranoid schizos will run with it.

 

[smitbret]

Nah, if it goes, you and I will go with it. No time to evacuate. Personally, I'd rather go this way than through starvation because of the long winter that will follow.

 

[notposting]

Based on this last winter, you've let maintenance go and that thing is a leaky sieve. No weatherstripping at all. Never keep the ash out.

Got dibs on Australia,

Does any of this make sense? If Yellowstone's volcano does erupt, isn't it large enough that its ash will envelope the entire globe and affect every creature on earth? Fact is, no one will be safe from the disaster because it won't be limited to north America.

It had better be a lot of boats, too.
Jet engines can ingest small birds and a rather astonishing amount of water, but not abrasive ash.
They'll just have to convert the oil supertankers into transport ships for people. I'm sure they can do that in a matter of hours.

Exactly. The global climate will go nuts for awhile, likely crippling food production worldwide, and with most of the US's food production capabilities incinerated or buried under ash, we might have a chance of starving to death in a different country.

Bingo.
