Ok folks- I just came across this lovely article. Hey, I'm going to stop worrying. Tonight we will go out for NY strip steak- or maybe a ribeye- medium rare- baked potatoes loaded with butter and sour cream, a nice salad with calorie-laden dressing, and ice cold beer.

La Palma, Yellowstone, Hawaii - terror focus

Natural Disasters Will Become Terrorist Weapons

Washington D.C.(Global Wire News) - According to experts at the Counter-Terrorism Prevention Group based in Washington, D.C., terrorists could turn Mother Nature into a terrorist weapon and completely destroy the United States in a massive coordinated attack which would make a nuclear war look like child's play in comparison.

Dr. Lewis Zimmerman, of the Counter-Terrorism Prevention Group, has written a document outlining how terrorists could plan terrorist attacks to take advantage of weaknesses in geological formations, structural instability in volcanoes and the transmission of seismic waves through the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

"Essentially, terrorists could take advantage of several geologic phenomenons and coordinate a simultaneous attack on the United States using the old Cold War strategy known as "Time on Target", where several attacks are launched at different times and reach their destination simultaneously" said Dr. Zimmerman.

According to Dr. Zimmerman "terrorists would first need to acquire nuclear weapons and materials from a rogue nuclear state like North Korea or from nuclear armed Pakistan".

The first target on the terrorists hit list according to Dr. Zimmerman would be the Western flank of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma which is located in the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain. The terrorists would plant one or two nuclear devices on the Cumbre Vieja volcano and detonate them in order to knock the Western flank of the volcano into the Atlantic Ocean.

The resulting tsunami created by the falling land mass would race across the Atlantic Ocean within a matter of hours and destroy the entire Eastern seaboard of the United States with a 150 foot tsunami. Tens of millions would be killed within seconds.

The second target which would be hit shortly after the atomic detonations on the island of La Palma would be Yellowstone Lake located inside Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Long before the attack, the terrorists would drive a boat into the middle of Yellowstone Lake and submerge a sealed 55-gallon drum containing a nuclear device to the bottom of the lake.

Vulcanologists have discovered a huge "bulge" which is forming at the bottom of the lake which could one day give way, implode the magma chamber underneath it and create what is know as a "Super Volcano". A nuclear device detonated by the terrorists in Yellowstone Lake would trigger the chain of events leading to the explosion of the "Super Volcano".

The "Super Volcano" explosion would cause a massive detonation which would destroy much of the landscape in the Rocky Mountain states of Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and Idaho with superheated pyroclastic flows moving outwards at supersonic speeds to a blast radius of 75 miles. Volcanic magma would shoot 30 miles into the atmosphere during the main explosion.

The massive eruption would bury the entire Great Plains under a massive layer of volcanic ash which would destroy America's agriculture industry and suffocate tens of millions of people in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. The Midwest would become a modern day version of Pompeii, the Roman city buried by Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.

A large portion of America's strategic nuclear arsenal would be incapacitated because the missile silos located in the Western states would be buried under several feet of hot volcanic ash.

The ash cloud created by the "Super Volcano" would penetrate the stratosphere and trigger a new Ice Age after blocking out the sun over most of the Northern Hemisphere and create the natural equivalent of a "nuclear winter".

The third target on the terrorists list would be the Southern flank of the Kilauea volcano on the main island of Hawaii. Terrorists would simply submerge nuclear weapons encased in sealed containers off the coast of the main Hawaiian island until they are resting on the southern flank of Kilauea. Once the terrorists detonate the nuclear devices, the South flank of Kilauea would collapse into the Pacific Ocean and create a tsunami which would destroy the West Coast of the United States and kill tens of millions of people in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.

"All of these attacks hitting the United States simultaneously would completely overwhelm FEMA, the U.S. Military, the National Guard and all disaster agencies. Up to 150 Million Americans would be killed such a massive attack. A nuclear war would look like child's play in comparison".

Sounds like I need a girlfriend so we can enjoy ourselves before we all die. ;) This article left of the one or two detonations in space which would wipe out all civilian electronics, electricty and engines in the entire country, leading to mass chaos in itself. The rioting and raping gangs of gankstas, aztlaners and skinheads and outlaw bikers would probably kill more than the nuke of the volcano.

Time to have a martini. Pour a little vermouth into one ice cold bottle of vodka and enjoy. LOL.

One of my favorite meals. I go for the ribeye and a Black Butte Porter, Blue Cheese dressing. But back to the muttons.
Lets talk megatons here. It is conceivable that the inchoate opposition may have suitcase nukes. There is some substantiation for that opinion. I have not seen, and do not believe, that there is any reliable evidence/reports that the evildoers have the capacity to go to the megaton range, at this time. Do the math and kilotons will not cut the mustard. Sq. mi. X cu. yd./sq. mi. X wt.(lbs.)/sq. yd. X depth(?)= lbs. to move. 20 Kt will not give this amount of push. I did not do this type of analysis when Mt. St. Helens was rising at the rate of 5 feet per day. And, boy, did I get a surprise

Welp, think I'll join you in that steak. LOL. Might even have a smoke, drink a few beers and chase some cowboys. :)

That is the second leak on the natural disaster terrorism and the first time I've seen the Tsunami threat as terrorism in public. There are visionaries who have seen this...some fellow up near Wilkes-Barre I think has seen this as well as Esperanza of Betania.

I wonder if we are about to see some major security changes? There has to be some sort of (political?) backdrop on this leak.

jerseygirl after reading your post I was astonished that someone with any intelligence would post this on the net, so I had to do some research. This is what I came up with:

First I looked to see if there was an image or picture of this Dr. Lewis Zimmerman. This is what I came up with:

Second I did a web search on the name Dr. Lewis Zimmerman and came up with this: StarTrek.com:Biography

Dr. Lewis Zimmerman

Starfleet engineer who developed the Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH), in association with Reginald Barclay. This version of the EMH was installed in U.S.S. Voyager and the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E. By 2373 Zimmerman was Director of Holographic imaging and Programming at Jupiter Station and was working on a Longterm Medical Holographic program.

Third I search for Global Wire News: results = nada

Fourth search for the source of the article: result = sciscoop.com SciScoop || Comments Axis-of-Evil Offshore Nuclear Blast Could ...

The biggest problem with a tsunami as a surprise weapon would be that it's difficult to set it up as a surprise. You need some kind of massive movement of earth or water in order to set one up; this is going to be hard to hide. So you'd almost certainly have some hours of warning that one was coming - enough to save a lot of lives but not to save property.

GOOD GRIEF...this was on the news tonight...

Saturday earthquake drill will test Tenn. disaster readiness
March 19, 2004

NASHVILLE (AP) -- Tennessee officials will join the U.S. Army and the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Operation Heartland '04 along the New Madrid fault line Saturday.

It will be one of the largest emergency-preparedness exercises in the region.
