321 Earthquakes Hit The San Francisco Area In 1 Week – Is The San Andreas Fault Entering A Very Dangerous New Phase? | The Economic Collapse

The west coast is shaking again.  In recent weeks we have witnessed so much seismic activity along the portion of the Pacific Ring of Fire that sits directly along the California coastline.  There had been hope that the shaking would settle down, but instead it appears to be accelerating.  As you will see below, there have been 321 earthquakes in the San Francisco area within the past 7 days.  If I was living in northern California, that would definitely get my attention.  Scientists have warned us over and over again that “the Big One” is inevitably coming, and almost every day there are more reminders of this.  In fact, San Ramon was just hit by a swarm of more than 30 earthquakes on Monday morning…

A 4.2 earthquake struck near San Ramon Monday morning, following a 3.8 quake amid a string of over 30 temblors in the area, U.S. Geological Survey said.

The 4.2 quake struck at 7:01 a.m. and followed a string of quakes that began with a 3.8 at 6:27 a.m. Dozens of earthquakes have followed.

USGS said the 4.2 quake was about 9.4 km in depth.

A magnitude 4.2 quake is quite significant.

The shaking that it caused was so extensive that people living in the heart of San Francisco actually felt “windows rattling”…

Residents in San Francisco’s Glen Park and Nopa neighborhoods reported rumbling and ‘windows rattling’ during the quake, and public transportation throughout the area was also affected by the swarm, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The moderate quake even activated the National Tsunami Warning Center, however, officials said there was no danger of a major wave hitting the Bay Area.

Of course this was not an isolated incident.

According to the USGS, this latest earthquake swarm was “a continuation” of a pattern of heightened activity that the region has been experiencing since last November…

ABC7 Eyewitness News spoke with the USGS Monday morning, and they say this is a continuation of the swarm of quakes the area has been experiencing.

On Friday, the area saw its first earthquake in several weeks, but there have been dozens of quakes since November.

Could it be possible that all of this activity is building up to some sort of a really big event?

According to the Southern California Earthquake Data Center, there have been 321 earthquakes in the San Francisco area in the last 7 days.  The following is a screenshot…

Needless to say, this isn’t normal.

The swarm of earthquakes that hit San Ramon on Monday was centered on one of the main branches of the San Andreas Fault System…

Still, Monday’s noticeable swarm broke out right on the Calaveras Fault, a main branch of the San Andreas – the monstrous 800-mile-long fault spanning from Southern California through the Bay Area and into the Pacific.

The Calaveras splits off from the main fault line near Hollister in central California and runs parallel to it through the East Bay region.

Scientists with USGS have warned that one of these faults or other major branches nearby could soon reach their anticipated breaking point and rupture right in the heart of California.

And it isn’t just northern California that has been shaking lately.

A couple of weeks ago, a magnitude 4.9 earthquake rocked Southern California…

A 4.9-magnitude earthquake and several aftershocks rattled Southern California on Monday night, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The first and largest quake happened approximately five miles northeast of Indio Hills, which is in the Palm Desert region of Riverside County, at around 5:57 p.m., the USGS reported. It occurred at a geological depth of nearly two miles. The preliminary magnitude of the earthquake was first reported as 5.1 before it was downgraded to 4.6 and then adjusted to 4.9 by USGS officials.

Scientists keep telling us that it is just a matter of time before the San Andreas Fault System “rips wide open”.

This is something that I have written about extensively over the years.

These latest quakes are a major league wake up call.

Unfortunately, most people living in California have learned to tune out such warnings.

Interestingly, the earthquake swarm that shook San Ramon on Monday morning occurred just after the Sun released “a relentless barrage of powerful solar flares”…

The sun has erupted in a relentless barrage of powerful solar flares over the past 24 hours, firing off at least 18 M-class flares and three X-class flares, including an X8.3 eruption — the strongest solar flare of 2026 so far. Solar flares are ranked by strength from A, B and C up to M and X, with each letter representing a tenfold increase in energy — meaning X-class flares are the most powerful explosions the sun can produce

The culprit is sunspot region 4366, a volatile active region that has grown rapidly in just a few days. The flurry of activity began late Feb. 1 and has continued into Feb. 2, with multiple M-class and X-class flares erupting in quick succession. The prolific region appears to be far from finished. Spaceweather.com described the region as a “solar flare factory”, warning that its rapid growth and magnetic complexity make further eruptions highly likely.

Many scientists believe that we tend to see more seismic activity when the Sun is highly active.

Needless to say, the Sun has been extremely active lately.

And we are being warned that Sunspot AR4366 will soon be directly facing our planet…

It’s also possible that more eruptions are still to come. Sunspot AR4366 remains highly active and continues to rotate into an Earth-facing position, raising the chance that future eruptions could launch CMEs more directly toward our planet. NOAA forecasters say they expect more exciting space weather activity from this region in the coming days.

Sunspot AR4366 is absolutely massive, and I think that we should all be watching it very closely.

We live at a time when the giant ball of fire that we revolve around is becoming increasingly unstable.

We also live at a time when the ground under our feet is becoming increasingly unstable.

Unfortunately, I am entirely convinced that what we have experienced so far is just the tip of the iceberg.

Scientists Sound The Alarm About 3 Major Fault Zones In The United States | The Economic Collapse

Will 2026 be a year of great shaking for the United States?  Coming into 2025, I thought that seismic activity would be a major global theme, and that has certainly turned out to be the case.  This has been an extremely unusual year for earthquakes along the Pacific Ring of Fire, and volcanoes that have been dormant for ages are suddenly roaring to life all over the world.  Here in the United States, we have been experiencing lots and lots of little earthquakes, but thankfully we have not been hit by a really bad one yet.  Will our luck run out in 2026?

According to the Daily Mail, the dozens of earthquakes that have been rattling the New Madrid fault zone since the middle of November are “renewing fears of a catastrophic natural disaster soon”…

A giant seismic zone in the heart of the US has seen dozens of tiny earthquakes break out in the last month, renewing fears of a catastrophic natural disaster soon.

Since mid-November, the US Geological Survey (USGS) has detected at least 38 low-level seismic events along the boundaries of the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) in Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee.

The threat that the New Madrid fault zone poses should not be underestimated.

In a previous article, I discussed the series of catastrophic earthquakes that occurred along that fault zone in 1811 and 1812.  Everyone agrees that they were the most powerful earthquakes in the entire history of the continental United States…

The New Madrid earthquakes were the biggest earthquakes in American history. They occurred in the central Mississippi Valley, but were felt as far away as New York City, Boston, Montreal, and Washington D.C. President James Madison and his wife Dolly felt them in the White House. Church bells rang in Boston. From December 16, 1811 through March of 1812 there were over 2,000 earthquakes in the central Midwest, and between 6,000-10,000 earthquakes in the Bootheel of Missouri where New Madrid is located near the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

In the known history of the world, no other earthquakes have lasted so long or produced so much evidence of damage as the New Madrid earthquakes. Three of the earthquakes are on the list of America’s top earthquakes: the first one on December 16, 1811, a magnitude of 8.1 on the Richter scale; the second on January 23, 1812, at 7.8; and the third on February 7, 1812, at as much as 8.8 magnitude.

Scientists tell us that it is just a matter of time before another great earthquake strikes this region.

Six years ago, the USGS determined that a magnitude 7.7 quake would shake major cities all over the Midwest…

In 2019, USGS scientists modeled what a 7.7 magnitude earthquake would look like if it erupted along the Arkansas-Tennessee border, in an area near Memphis.

The shockwaves of this hypothetical mega quake spread for hundreds of miles, reaching cities including Kansas City, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Birmingham.

Buildings in that area of the country are typically not constructed to withstand an event of that size, and so the USGS is projecting that hundreds of thousands of buildings would be damaged and the economic damage would run into the hundreds of billions of dollars…

Since this region is not well equipped to deal with a massive seismic event, studies of such an earthquake projected that a magnitude 7.7 earthquake would cause over 86,000 injuries or deaths, damage 715,000 buildings, and knock out power to 2.6 million homes.

That report, by the University of Illinois, Virginia Tech, and George Washington University, also estimated that the cost could hit $300 billion directly, with indirect costs due to lost jobs possibly taking the damage to $600 billion.

An earthquake like that could hit us at any time.

But when the “really Big One” finally arrives, it will be much, much worse than the USGS is anticipating.

Experts are also urging us to keep an eye on the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

We are being told that when it finally goes, “the Pacific Northwest could change in a matter of minutes”…

Beneath Cascadia’s forests and coastlines lies a 600-mile fault capable of producing a magnitude-9 earthquake. The last one struck in 1700, shaking the region for minutes and sending a massive tsunami all the way to Japan. Today, nearly 17 million people live on top of the same silent threat. Scientists warn that when it breaks again, the Pacific Northwest could change in a matter of minutes.

The reason why the Cascadia Subduction Zone is so dangerous is because it has the potential to produce “megathrust” earthquakes…

At depths shallower than around 30 km, the two plates of the CSZ are locked together by friction. Strain (deformation) slowly builds as the subduction forces continue to act upon the locked plates. Once the fault’s frictional strength is exceeded, the rocks slip past each other along the fault in a “megathrust” earthquake.

A large enough “megathrust” earthquake could cause a tsunami that is hundreds of feet high to violently slam into the west coast.

In such a scenario, the death toll would likely be cataclysmic.

So that is why any seismic activity in the region gets so much attention.

On Monday, a magnitude 2.9 earthquake not too far away from Seattle caused quite a stir…

Reports of a massive explosion in Washington state sent residents in the Pacific Northwest into a state of confusion Monday morning.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) sent out an alert just before 11.30am ET, warning that an explosion with the force of a magnitude 3.0 earthquake has just taken place near the town of Concrete.

USGS quickly retracted the false explosion warning and reclassified the seismic event as a magnitude 2.9 earthquake, less than 70 miles north of Seattle.

Scientists assure us that a “megathrust” earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone is in our future.

And when it finally occurs, it could also trigger the San Andreas fault system…

Successfully predicting earthquakes sounds like a dark art.

However, new research hints it may be possible: Sediment cores extracted from the Pacific seafloor suggest that two major fault systems along the western coast of the United States and Canada might be partially synchronized. After an earthquake on the southern part of the Cascadia subduction zone, an earthquake soon after on the northern part of the San Andreas fault appears to occur roughly half of the time, the new findings reveal. These results, published in Geosphere, provide evidence of stress triggering, which has long been invoked to explain how activity on one fault might lead to activity on another nearby.

Fault zones persist across wide swaths of our planet, but the one that stretches onshore and offshore from California to British Columbia, Canada, is particularly complex. The vertical strike-slip San Andreas fault, in the south, intersects the Cascadia subduction zone off the coast of Northern California at a point known as the Mendocino Triple Junction.

When the San Andreas fault system finally rips wide open, the geography of the state of California will be permanently altered.

And it won’t just be Southern California that is affected.

Over the past couple of months, Northern California has been getting pummeled by literally hundreds of sizable quakes…

While California ranks second in the US in seismic activity, most quakes are small and go largely unnoticed. That has changed in recent weeks with two swarms impacting the Bay Area: one is east of San Francisco near San Ramon; the other is north of San Francisco near The Geysers.

Over the last 30 days, USGS has reported 1,470 earthquakes around The Geysers; in just the last 7 days, there have been 286. Most of these have been weak, with only 5 earthquakes rated a magnitude 2.0 or higher intensity over the last week. While the volume has been eyebrow raising, the intensity hasn’t.

The opposite has been the case near San Ramon. There, over the last 30 days, there have been 139 earthquakes reported by USGS; over the last 7 days, that number has been 25. But the intensity of these earthquakes have been greater, with 39 rated magnitude 2.0 or greater and 6 rated 3.0 or greater over the last 30 days.

This is definitely not normal.

San Ramon has been getting shaken so frequently that one social media user has compared it to “a massage chair”…

“Wee bit nervous,” one person wrote on Threads, adding that she planned to stock up on water and earthquake supplies.

“San Ramon is basically a massage chair today … but like, the stressful kind,” another person wrote on the social media site. “Dear Earth: we get it, you’re active. You can stop now.”

The Calaveras Fault is a major branch of the San Andreas fault system.

This is the fault that has been causing so much shaking in San Ramon lately, and it has the potential to produce very large earthquakes…

Historically, the southern half of the central segment of the Calaveras Fault has been the most seismically active segment of the fault.

It produced the 6.2 Morgan Hill earthquake in 1984. The 5.9 Coyote Lake earthquake in 1979 ruptured slightly to the south of these other earthquakes.

When you are driving your vehicle and one of those little warning signals on the dashboard lights up, what do you do?

Hopefully you take it to a mechanic or you fix it yourself.

Ignoring a warning signal like that is a really bad idea.

Similarly, the New Madrid fault zone, the Cascadia Subduction Zone and the San Andreas fault system have all been sending us lots of warning signals lately.

Sadly, it appears that most of the population will continue to ignore those warning signals until it is too late.

Why Is The Pacific Ring Of Fire Shaking So Violently This Year? | End Of The American Dream

Should we be alarmed that there has been so much activity along the Pacific Ring of Fire lately?  Every time that there is another major event, and that has been occurring quite frequently in recent weeks, the experts rush to tell us that what we are witnessing is perfectly normal.  But is that really true?  Late last month, I wrote an article about how volcanoes that have been dormant for ages are suddenly roaring to life all over the globe.  I don’t understand how it is “perfectly normal” for multiple volcanoes that have been dormant for hundreds or even thousands of years to all be waking up at the same time.  I just don’t see it.  Similarly, I don’t understand how it is “perfectly normal” for so much shaking to be taking place all along the Ring of Fire right now.

For example, on Monday a magnitude 7.6 earthquake rattled northern Japan…

A powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake shook northeastern Japan late on Monday, prompting tsunami warnings and orders for about 90,000 residents to evacuate.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said a tsunami as high as 3 metres (10 feet) could hit Japan’s northeastern coast after the earthquake struck off the coast at 11:15 p.m. (1415 GMT).

Tsunami warnings were issued for the prefectures of Hokkaido, Aomori and Iwate, and tsunamis from 20 to 70 cm (7 to 27 inches) high were observed at several ports, JMA said.

A magnitude 7.6 earthquake is quite powerful.

The Daily Mail is reporting that buildings and vehicles were “trembling as the ground beneath them shook violently”…

Video footage showed buildings and stationary vehicles trembling as the ground beneath them shook violently.

Another clip showed a terrified man in his home watching lights bounce around amid the earthquake, while a third showed a siren being sounded, warning citizens of the imminent danger.

If this was just an isolated incident, we could probably safely ignore it.

But the truth is that Japan has been hit by a number of severe earthquake swarms in 2025, and that includes a massive swarm of 1,198 earthquakes that stretched from late June to early July…

From June 25 to July 4, a total of 1,198 earthquakes occurred near the Tokara Islands in far southwest Japan. The largest of these, on July 4, was at the lower end of 6 on the Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale (JMA scale).^[22] This earthquake swarm was the most intense in the region since 1995.^[23] 31 residents requested evacuation to Mainland Japan following several earthquakes of 5+ on the JMA scale, i.e. approximately VII on the Mercalli scale^[b][25][26]

I certainly don’t think that was normal.

At the end of July, a magnitude 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck the Pacific Ring of Fire just off the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula…

On 30 July 2025, at 11:24:52 PETT (29 July, 23:24:52 UTC), a M_w 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck off the eastern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East, 119 km (74 mi) east-southeast of the coastal city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.^[3][4] It was the most powerful earthquake recorded worldwide since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake,^[5] and is tied with the 1906 Ecuador–Colombia and 2010 Chile earthquakes as the sixth-strongest ever recorded by seismometers.^[6]

That quake was part of a global swarm of 494 earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or greater within a 30 day period.

That was about 4 times as many earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or greater than we usually experience in a typical month.

Nobody can claim that was normal.

Here in the United States, the west coast has been getting pummeled by earthquake swarms over and over again.

In fact, there was another earthquake swarm in California on Monday…

A swarm of earthquakes has struck California’s Bay Area, just miles from some of the most populated cities throughout the area.

A magnitude 3.7 earthquake was detected at 12.08pm ET on Monday, less than three miles from the city of San Ramon, followed by a magnitude 2.9 quake at 1.06pm.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) has revealed that these were at least the sixth and seventh small earthquake to strike the since 5.33am this morning.

The quakes took place less than 40 miles from San Francisco, and less than 30 miles from major cities such as Oakland, Concord, and San Jose.

One earthquake swarm in California is not a big deal.

But there were three other earthquake swarms in California just last week…

Monday’s swarm was the latest seismic outbreak in the Bay Area, coming just days after residents in the region were shaken by three straight days of earthquake swarms rattling nerves along the state’s Central and Northern Coasts.

The recent swarms have also taken place along several branch faults in the broader San Andreas Fault System, sparking fears the main fault line could be closer to a major rupture that locals refer to as ‘the Big One.’

I have written a lot about “the Big One”.

It is coming.

And it is going to be a lot more destructive than the experts are admitting.

Have you seen the movie San Andreas?

When “the Big One” finally hits, it is going to be far worse than that.

If you live in Alaska, you are in danger too.

On Saturday, the state was rattled by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake…

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Alaska during the morning hours Saturday.

The earthquake struck at 11:41 a.m. local time northeast of Yakutat, Alaska, per the USGS.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports that Yakutat had a population of approximately 657 in 2020, and in 2023, a total of 332 housing units. The USGS interactive map indicates that the community lies more than 300 miles from Anchorage, where the quake was also experienced.

That quake was the first in a series of 164 quakes that rattled the state in less than 24 hours…

Residents as far away as Anchorage and communities across the border in Canada’s Yukon Territory reported feeling the quake.

In the 24 hours following the main quake, seismic networks logged 164 earthquakes in the region. Many were aftershocks, including several registering magnitudes above 5.0. This number of aftershocks is not uncommon after a significant seismic event as the crust readjusts along the fault lines.

The entire southern coastline of Alaska sits directly along the Pacific Ring of Fire.

So does the entire west coast of the United States.

If you choose to live in one of those danger zones, you are taking a huge risk.

We are getting more warning signs on an almost daily basis, but most of those that live in high risk areas will ignore the warning signs until it is too late.

Was The Earth Really Hit By 396 Earthquakes Of Magnitude 5.0 Or Greater In 30 Days, Or Is The True Number Even Higher? | The Economic Collapse

Why have there been so many large earthquakes in recent weeks?  This is something that people on social media are really buzzing about right now.  And I am certainly glad that they are buzzing about it, because what we have been witnessing is not even close to normal.  We really are in the early chapters of an extremely apocalyptic chapter in human history, and people need to hear the truth.

It is being claimed that there were 396 earthquakes of at least magnitude 5.0 during a recent 30 day period, and this claim is being heavily circulated on multiple social media platforms…

Twitter is buzzing, Reddit’s rumbling, and TikTok’s tilting — people are freaking out over the reported 396 earthquakes of Magnitude 5.0 or greater (M5+) recorded worldwide in the past 30 days.

The following is an example of the sort of graphic that is getting a ton of attention right now…

I wanted to independently verify that this figure was accurate.

What I discovered was extremely alarming.

I went to Volcano Discovery, and these are the latest numbers that we are being given for the past 30 days…

• 1 quake above magnitude 8
• 4 quakes between magnitude 7 and 8
• 33 quakes between magnitude 6 and 7
• 456 quakes between magnitude 5 and 6
• 1,809 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
• 5,617 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
• 10,512 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
• 33,959 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don’t feel.

If these numbers are accurate, things are even worse than the claims that are being made on social media.

If you add together the top 4 lines, it gives you a grand total of 494 earthquakes of at least magnitude 5.0 within the past 30 days.

Nearly 500 earthquakes of at least magnitude 5.0 in a 30 day period is extremely unusual.

I asked Google AI about what is going on, and this is what I was told…

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Earth experiences an average of 1,300 to 1,500 magnitude 5+ earthquakes annually. This translates to approximately 110-125 earthquakes of that magnitude per month.

Therefore, while the reported 396 magnitude 5+ earthquakes in the last 30 days is significantly higher than the average, it is important to note that global earthquake activity tends to cluster, meaning there can be periods of higher activity followed by calmer periods, still within the realm of normal geophysical variation.

Hopefully things will start to calm down in the days ahead.

But for now, large earthquakes continue to hit diverse locations all over the globe.

For example, the Dominican Republic was just hammered by a magnitude 5.7 earthquake…

A 5.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic early Tuesday, jolting residents awake in the Caribbean country and in neighboring Puerto Rico.

The quake occurred 24 miles (38 kilometers) southeast of Boca de Yuma at a depth of 104 miles (168 kilometers), according to the U.S. Geological Survey. No damage was reported.

Here in the United States, New York and New Jersey just got hit by an unusual earthquake for a second consecutive day…

A 2.7-magnitude quake rattled the Tri-State area around midday Tuesday. The epicenter was located in Hillsdale, New Jersey, about 20 miles north of Manhattan, according to the United States Geological Survey. This is roughly the same area a 3.0-magnitude struck the New Jersey town of Hasbrouck Heights over the past weekend. On July 22, a 2.0 earthquake was measured near Randolph, New Jersey.

People in the city of Rye, New York, about 30 miles northeast of Manhattan, immediately reported feeling the earthquake on X. People from Rockland and Irvington, both cities along the Hudson River in New York, reported feeling the temblor.

Meanwhile, the “Year of the Fire” just continues to intensify.

“The Year of the Fire” began in southern California in January, and now another giant fire in the region is “out of control”…

BREAKING: SANTA BARBARA IS BURNING TO THE GROUND – AND IT STARTED ON FEDERAL LAND

The Gifford Fire has already exploded to 50,000+ acres, forcing mass evacuations in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo.

Flames are out of control. Smoke is choking the sky from California all the way to Las Vegas.

Over 1,000 boots on the ground and barely any containment.

According to an update that was just published by ABC News, the Gifford Fire has now grown to over 72,000 acres, and it is just 3 percent contained…

Over 1,000 firefighters continue to battle a wildfire in California that has burned over 72,000 acres, prompted evacuation orders and caused three injuries, according to officials.

The Gifford Fire, which began on Friday afternoon, is situated within the Los Padres National Forest in Solvang, California, impacting those within Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, officials said. As of Monday, the fire has engulfed 72,460 acres and is only 3% contained, according to Cal Fire.

If the Gifford Fire reaches 100,000 acres, it will be considered to be a “megafire”.

Of course the fire that has been raging in Grand Canyon National Park for a month is already considered to be a “megafire”, and it just keeps getting even larger…

A New Jersey hiker has been missing for more than a week in Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park where a raging “mega-fire” has exploded to more than 123,000 acres.

Thomas Daniel Gibbs, 35, last spoke with friends and family around noon on July 22 and was officially reported missing six days later — the same day his Tesla Cybertruck was discovered abandoned at a parking lot at popular vista Grandview Point, according to the National Park Service.

The Freehold native was believed to have embarked on a hike on the arduous Grandview Trail and Horseshore Mesa the day he was last heard from.

Up in Canada, hundreds of wildfires are prompting air quality alerts in quite a few northern U.S. states…

Air quality alerts were issued across the U.S. Midwest and Northeast on Monday, August 4, 2025, and remain in effect on August 5, as over 740 wildfires burning across Canada send smoke to the U.S. Currently, 2025 is the third most destructive year for wildfires in Canada and is likely to become the second most destructive year surpassing 1989 when wildfires burned over 17 million acres of land across the country.

Despite all of our advanced technology, wildfires are raging out of control all over North America.

And the month of August is just beginning.

There is one last thing that I wanted to mention today.

Weather patterns in much of Europe have also gone nuts, and it is being projected that we could see crop losses of up to 85 percent in some parts of Turkey this year…

Prolonged drought and extreme weather events during the 2024/25 agricultural year have caused crop losses of up to 85% in parts of Türkiye, according to the Türkiye Agricultural Chambers Union (TZOB). The impacts are most severe in Central and Southeastern Anatolia, while national output of key cereals, pulses, and vegetables is expected to decline significantly.

In 2025, we have been hit by one major disaster after another.

It is almost as if we are living in a disaster movie that never ends.

And the truth is that what is ahead of us will make what we have gone through already look like a Sunday picnic.

The giant space rock that we all live on is being shaken in so many different ways.

Most of the population is not alarmed by what we are witnessing yet, but they should be.

Now We Are Witnessing Alarming Seismic Instability Along The East Coast, The New Madrid Fault Zone And The West Coast | End Of The American Dream

Why are we suddenly seeing so much seismic activity all over the planet?  Volcanoes just keep erupting one after another, and we just keep witnessing unusual earthquake swarms on major fault lines throughout the world.  Last Tuesday, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake that struck along the Pacific Ring of Fire near the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia caused quite a bit of panic.  Only five earthquakes that have ever been recorded have been larger than that earthquake.  Subsequently, there has been some very alarming seismic instability here in the United States.  For example, on Thursday a quake swarm that included a magnitude 4.3 earthquake hit southern California…

On Thursday, July 31, a preliminary 4.3 magnitude earthquake hit Southern California’s Inland Empire near Muscoy in San Bernadino, California.

According to the USGS, the earthquake was reported about 9:30 a.m. local time, with smaller earthquakes ranging from magnitudes 2.8 to 3.1 reported shortly before and after.

Those that live in southern California are tired of hearing that “the Big One” is way overdue.

But it is true.

It is also true that a major earthquake along the New Madrid Seismic Zone is way overdue.  On Friday, it was hit by a sizable quake for the 23rd time in just 4 weeks…

Today, the 23rd earthquake in the last 4 weeks struck in the heart of an area known as the New Madrid Seismic Zone or NMSZ for short. While it was weak, it serves as a reminder of the area’s violent seismic past –and a warning of its potentially violent seismic future.

According to USGS, the morning earthquake struck at 9:11 am from a depth of 12.8 km. The magnitude 2.6 earthquake struck near the town of Blytheville, Arkansas roughly 60 miles north of Memphis, Tennessee. This area has seen an uptick in seismic activity in recent days and months.

Is the New Madrid Seismic Zone starting to wake up?

It certainly appears so.

Following the New Madrid earthquake on Friday, a magnitude 3.0 earthquake hit New York and New Jersey on Saturday…

An earthquake rattled New Jersey on Saturday, Aug. 2 and could be felt all the way through parts of New York City, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The epicenter of the 3.0 magnitude tremblor was in Hasbrouck Heights, Bergen County on Saturday just after 10:15 p.m. ET, the USGS said.

The area is about 15 miles northwest of New York City, where the quake was also felt, according to USGS reports. Acccording to reports, the quake lasted for a few seconds before stopping.

The east coast is not known for earthquakes.

So what is going on?

Why are we suddenly seeing sizable quakes in such diverse places?

On Sunday, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake pummeled the Kamchatka Peninsula.  We are being told that it was part of “the ongoing aftershock sequence following the tsunami-generating M8.8 earthquake”…

A strong earthquake registered by the USGS as M6.8 struck east of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, at 05:37 UTC on August 3, 2025. The agency reports a depth of 35 km (22 miles), while the EMSC lists the same magnitude at a depth of 25 km (16 miles). This event is part of the ongoing aftershock sequence following the tsunami-generating M8.8 earthquake that occurred at 23:24 UTC on July 29.

There have been more than 20 major aftershocks of at least magnitude 5.0 in the days since the initial earthquake.

And it also appears that the magnitude 8.8 earthquake also caused a Russian volcano that had been dormant for almost 600 years to suddenly erupt…

Russia’s remote Krasheninnikov volcano, dormant for roughly 600 years, erupted overnight in Kamchatka peninsula in the country’s far east, just days after a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck the region.

The eruption generated an ash plume rising approximately 6,000 meters (nearly 20,000 feet) into the sky, the Kamchatka branch of Russia’s Ministry for Emergency Services said, as per Reuters. The volcano itself stands at 1,856 meters.

I am not sure why this isn’t getting a lot more attention.

The last time that Russia’s Krasheninnikov volcano erupted was in the 1400s…

This eruption marks the first documented activity at Krasheninnikov since around 1463, according to experts, making it a geologically significant event. The timing, coming shortly after one of the strongest earthquakes in recent years, suggests a potential link between tectonic stress and volcanic activation.

On the other side of the globe, one of the most powerful volcanoes in Indonesia just shot hot ash 11 miles into the sky…

For the second day in a row, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, erupted.

The explosion launched a column of smoke and volcanic material shot up to 11 miles in the sky early Saturday morning. Debris from the volcano blanketed villages, but no casualties have been reported. The explosion was one of the country’s largest since the 2010 eruption of Mount Merapi, the country’s most volatile volcano.

On Friday, in an eruption that occurred just hours before the one Saturday morning, smoke and ash went as high as 6.2 miles, as the volcano lit up the sky with glowing lava and bolts of lightning.

How many volcanoes have to blow their tops before people start waking up?

What we are experiencing is definitely not normal.

But because most of the major seismic events that we are witnessing are taking place on the other side of the globe most Americans are not paying much attention.

But ignoring what is happening is not going to change the fact that we really are entering the most apocalyptic chapter in human history.

There is one more thing that I wanted to mention before I conclude this article.

2025 has been “the year of the flood”, but it has also been “the year of the fire”.

Here in the United States, we are on pace to more than double the number of wildfires that we had last year, and a wildfire that has been burning in Grand Canyon National Park since July 4th is now considered to be a “megafire”…

A wildfire that broke out in Grand Canyon National Park has now been deemed a “megafire” due to its size.

The Dragon Bravo fire ignited from a lightning strike on July 4. As firefighters readied to contain the blaze, fire conditions rapidly changed, causing the fire to explode in size.

As of Friday, the Dragon Bravo Fire has burned 111,970 acres, becoming a “megafire” – a term given by the U.S. Forest Service when a fire reaches over 100,000 acres.

On Monday, this fire will have been burning for an entire month, and there is no end in sight.

Of course most of us stopped thinking about that fire long ago, because there is a new major disaster to focus on almost every single day.

We have entered a time when we are being hit by major disasters on an almost constant basis.

How many times do we have to get hit before the experts will finally start admitting that an unprecedented period of planetary instability has now arrived?

Apocalypse Now: The Increasing Instability Of Our Planet Is On Full Display In 2025 | End Of The American Dream

Once dormant volcanoes have been erupting all over the globe, Mt. Rainier has been rattled by more than 1,000 earthquakes this month, one area of Japan has been getting hit by thousands of earthquakes, the largest supervolcano in Europe has been shaking like crazy, and a magnitude 8.8 earthquake just hammered the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia.  There have only been five earthquakes that have ever been recorded that have been larger than the earthquake that we witnessed on Tuesday.  2025 has been “the year of the disaster”, and we just keep getting hit by one thing after another.  For a long time I have been warning that our planet is becoming increasingly unstable, and finally a lot of people out there are starting to understand.

The shaking that we are experiencing is not normal.

We really are living in apocalyptic times.

And yes, things are going to get a lot worse.

I believe that we should regard the magnitude 8.8 earthquake that just occurred as a warning.  It sent tsunami waves all over the Pacific, but fortunately those tsunami waves did not do that much damage…

One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Russia’s Far East early Wednesday, sending tsunami waves into Japan and Hawaii and across the Pacific. No substantial damage has been reported so far, but authorities warned people away from shorelines and said the risk could last more than a day.

Ports on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia near the 8.8 magnitude quake’s epicenter flooded as residents fled inland, and frothy, white waves washed up to the shore in northern Japan. Cars jammed streets and highways in Hawaii’s capital, with standstill traffic even in areas away from the shoreline.

It could have been so much worse.

Once the earthquake struck, people living in Hawaii were scrambling to get to higher ground.

Thankfully, the tsunami waves that hit Hawaii were only a few feet high, and the tsunami waves that hit the west coast were not much of a problem at all…

The first tsunami waves hit Hawaii at 8.20pm local time, 2.20am EST. Water levels were above 4 feet in Haleiwa on Oahu’s north shore, reaching 5 feet just minutes later and causing floods.

Oahu Emergency Management warned residents: ‘Tsunami waves are currently impacting Hawaii. Take action NOW!’

In California, the first waves hit the coast at Crescent City near the Oregon border just after midnight local time, while tsunami waves hit Washington state not long after.

But the fact that we were just hit by a magnitude 8.8 earthquake is a really big deal.

It was the largest earthquake anywhere in the world since the magnitude 9.1 earthquake that caused the giant tsunami that absolutely devastated Fukushima back in 2011…

Wednesday’s earthquake was the sixth most powerful on record, and the strongest in Kamchatka region since 1952, with aftershocks of up to 7.5 magnitude expected.

It is the largest earthquake globally since 2011, when a 9.1 megaquake hit northeast Japan and left 19,747 people either dead or missing.

Dozens of very large aftershocks shook the Kamchatka Peninsula following the initial magnitude 8.8 earthquake, and the biggest active volcano in the northern hemisphere began spewing lava…

The Klyuchevskoy volcano on Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula began erupting on Wednesday following a powerful earthquake off Russia’s far eastern coast.

Lava began flowing from what is the largest active volcano in the northern hemisphere.The Russian Academy of Sciences’ United Geophysical Service said in a post on Telegram: “A descent of burning hot lava is observed on the western slope. Powerful glow above the volcano, explosions.”

According to Volcano Discovery, 41 volcanoes around the world are currently erupting right now.

But don’t worry.

The “experts” are telling us that everything is fine.

You believe them, don’t you?

The magnitude 8.8 earthquake that we just witnessed happened on a “megathrust fault”…

The 8.8 magnitude quake off Russia that triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific occurred on what is known as a “megathrust fault”, where the denser Pacific Plate is sliding underneath the lighter North American Plate, scientists said.

The Pacific Plate has been on the move, making the Kamchatka Peninsula area off Russia’s Far East coast where it struck especially vulnerable to such tremors – and bigger aftershocks cannot be ruled out, they said.

Of course there is a “megathrust fault” just off the west coast of the United States too.

It is called “the Cascadia Subduction Zone”, and it is a ticking time bomb…

The Kamchatka Peninsula earthquake may not have brought the same devastation as previous shocks, but a far more deadly seismic event is looming for the US West Coast.

A major 600-mile-long fault line known as the Cascadia Subduction Zone runs from northern Vancouver Island in Canada to Cape Mendocino in northern California.

It is just a matter of time before a giant earthquake happens along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and a recent study determined that a large enough quake “could cause coastal land to sink 6.5 feet within minutes”…

A study from Virginia Tech in April showed an earthquake of force eight or above could cause coastal land to sink 6.5 feet within minutes, devastating cities such as Seattle and Portland and flooding hundreds of miles of roadway, airports, schools, hospitals and power plants.

Researchers determined that the most severe effects would hit densely populated areas in northern California, southern Washington and northern Oregon.

Not too far from the Cascadia Subduction Zone is the most dangerous volcano in North America.

A full-blown eruption of Mt. Rainier would cause tremendous death and destruction, and this month it has been shaken by more than 1,000 earthquakes…

Over 1,000 earthquakes have rocked Washington’s Mount Rainier in the largest ever seismic swarm recorded at this active volcano, waiting to erupt.

Experts from the US Geological Survey (USGS) revealed that this record-breaking earthquake swarm started on July 8 and has continued ever since.

As of July 25, geologists have recorded at least 1,010 small earthquakes around the mountain, which is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the US.

If you live near Mt. Rainier, these earthquakes are your warning.

It is capable of unleashing enormous tsunamis of super-heated mud that travel at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour, and those that currently live in homes that were constructed directly on top of old deposits of super-heated mud from Mt. Rainier would have very little time to escape.

Meanwhile, scientists are now telling us that there is “something large moving deep beneath New England”…

There’s something large moving deep beneath New England.

This is the conclusion of a new paper by researchers from the University of Southampton, England, who have been studying a mysterious patch of unusually hot rock below the Appalachian Mountains.

This region—known as the Northern Appalachian Anomaly (NAA)—is some 200 miles wide and lies around 125 miles beneath the surface.

I never considered New England to be a high risk area.

But apparently researchers have discovered a “huge, slow-moving blob of hot material” directly underneath the region…

Imagine taking a CT scan of the Earth. That’s essentially what geologists did using seismic tomography, a technique that tracks how earthquake waves travel through different layers of the planet. What they found under New Hampshire was a huge, slow-moving blob of hot material.

This kind of anomaly is typically seen near volcanoes or tectonic boundaries—but New England has neither.

So why am I sharing all of this?

I am sharing all of this to warn the world about what is coming.

The shaking that we are experiencing is not normal.

We really are living in apocalyptic times.

And yes, things are going to get a lot worse.

As The Sun Goes Nuts, Unusual Natural Disasters Are Occurring All Over The Globe | The Economic Collapse

Why is the mainstream media in the United States being so quiet about what is happening on the Sun?  The giant ball of fire that we revolve around makes life on this planet possible, and it has started to behave very erratically.  This should definitely be getting a lot more attention, because the link between solar activity and seismic activity has been well established by now.  Some scientists still try to dispute this, but the truth is that when the Sun becomes more active we tend to see more large earthquakes and more volcanic eruptions.  And of course if a large enough solar storm erupts, it could fry our power grids and throw our entire society into a massive state of chaos.

This week, the giant ball of fire that we revolve around “unleashed the strongest solar flare of the year”…

The sun has unleashed the strongest solar flare of the year, triggering strong radio blackouts across the globe. Just after 11:30 a.m. ET, a massive X2.7-class solar flare erupted from a newly emerging from a cold, dark region known as AR4087. X-class flares are the most intense in the solar storm scale — capable of disrupting communications, damaging satellites, and even threatening power grids on Earth.

Subsequently, there was another very large solar flare on Wednesday…

Just before 7:20am ET Wednesday morning, sunspot AR4087 emitted yet another solar flare: an M7.74.

Sunspot AR4087 is absolutely enormous, and there is concern that more solar flares could be unleashed as it “rotates into direct alignment with Earth in the coming days”…

Experts warn that more flares may be on the way as sunspot AR4087 rotates into direct alignment with Earth in the coming days, increasing the chances of further solar storms.

What we are witnessing right now is definitely not normal.

A solar filament that erupted from the Sun’s northern hemisphere earlier this week was more than 600,000 miles long.

That made it over twice as long as the distance from the Earth to the moon…

On Tuesday, astronomers watched as a vast ‘bird wing’ eruption sent waves of superheated plasma surging across the sun’s northern hemisphere.

At over 600,000 miles long (one million km), the filament of solar material was more than twice as long as the distance from the Earth to the moon.

Nobody can deny that the Sun has been extremely active this month.

So have we seen a corresponding increase in seismic activity?

Well, this month we did see a magnitude 7.4 earthquake strike just off the coast of Argentina…

A powerful earthquake has struck off the southern coasts of Chile and Argentina, triggering a tsunami warning.

The 7.4 magnitude quake struck 136 miles off the coast of the city of Ushuaia, Argentina on Friday afternoon, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

Authorities in Chile issued an evacuation alert for the entire coastal section of the Strait of Magellan in the country’s south.

Here in the United States, California has been rattled by hundreds of earthquakes over the past week, and that includes three sizable earthquakes right along the San Andreas fault…

California has experienced three earthquakes in the last 24 hours in an area being closely monitored for a major quake.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected the seismic activity along the San Andreas Fault, which spans 800 miles from Cape Mendocino in the north to the Salton Sea in the south.

Scientists warn this fault is overdue for a ‘Big One’ — a magnitude 7.8 earthquake or higher.

Of course it isn’t just the state of California that has been getting shaken.

In Nevada, a magnitude 4.0 earthquake just hit an area of the Earth’s crust that is “gradually being pulled apart”…

Nevada was rocked by a 4.0 magnitude earthquake on Wednesday in a region where the Earth’s crust is slowly tearing apart.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected the tremor at 5:35 am local (8:35am ET) near Valmy that sits on top of the Basin and Range Province, which stretches across much of the western US.

In this area, the Earth’s crust is gradually being pulled apart, causing faulting and frequent earthquakes.

And Salt Lake City was recently rattled by a magnitude 3.9 earthquake…

A 3.9 magnitude earthquake hit just outside of Utah’s capital city Thursday morning.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected the tremor at 6:11am ET, with the epicenter located in Independence, about 43 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

More than 2,200 people within a 45-mile radius reported feeling the shaking.

Meanwhile, we continue to see unusual volcanic activity all over the globe as well.

In fact, scientists are warning that a mile-wide volcano near the coast of Oregon could literally erupt at any moment…

Scientists have issued a stark warning about the most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest, cautioning that it could erupt as soon as tomorrow.

The Axial Seamount is a mile-wide underwater volcano that sits 300 miles off the coast of Oregon and more than 4,900 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

Researchers with the National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative say there has been massive uptick in the number of earthquakes under the seamount, caused by magma pushing to the surface.

On the other side of the world, the largest supervolcano in Europe has been shaking like crazy…

Fear in Campi Flegrei where since 12:07, as reported by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, a seismic swarm has been underway. The most intense event had a magnitude of 4,4 and an epicenter 3 kilometers deep in the port of Pozzuoli. Following the event, the Italian Situation Room of the Civil Protection Department contacted the local structures of the National Civil Protection Service. An uninhabited building in Via Campana collapsed. There is a lot of fear in Pozzuoli where citizens have poured into the streets for fear of being surprised at home by another strong shock. Over ten shocks have been recorded since this morning, two of which with a magnitude greater than 3, following the strongest.

If a full-blown eruption of the Campi Flegrei supervolcano were to happen, it could cause a nuclear winter which would devastate global food production and plunge us into a multi-year worldwide famine.  For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled “Is One Of The World’s Largest Supervolcanoes About To Erupt?”

I expect that the Sun will continue to behave erratically in the months ahead, and I also expect to see plenty of major natural disasters.

So buckle up and hold on tight, because it is going to be a bumpy ride.

Bombshell in Texas: Retired Police Lieutenant Warns EPIC City Is Phase Two of a Sharia Enclave That’s Operated in Plano for 12 Years While Officials Stayed Silent 
Retired Lieutenant Douglas Deaton exposed a disturbing reality: EPIC’s Sharia-controlled enclave in Plano isn’t some future vision—it already exists. For nearly 12 years, EPIC has operated a religiously exclusive neighborhood comprising 74 homes, a sprawling mosque, Islamic schools, a medical clinic, and Sharia-compliant financial services. Most alarming, the enclave includes a fortress-like residence constructed directly beside the Plano Police Academy—strategically positioned to overlook restricted law enforcement areas and tactical assets. They haven’t been hiding—they’ve been operating in plain sight. And no one stopped them.

Lesley Stahl Slammed for Disgraceful Question to Hamas Hostage: ‘Did They Mean to Starve You?’ 
While speaking with former hostage Keith Siegel, Stahl asked him a question that was equal parts moronic and anti-Semitic. It certainly indicated she is sympathetic towards the Islamic terrorists.

As Siegel was commenting on how he was abused and starved, Stahl had the gall to ask him, “Do you think they starved you because or they just didn’t have food?” Siegel deserves a ton of credit here. He didn’t miss a beat despite Stahl’s insensitivity concerning the cruel treatment he received during the 484 days of captivity he endured, “No, I think they starved me, and they would often eat in front of me and not offer me food.

On New Year’s Eve, Lightning Struck The U.S. Capitol, The Washington Monument, The Empire State Building And One World Trade Center | The Economic Collapse

A lot of really weird things have been happening over the past few days.  I don’t know what all of it means, but what has been taking place is so unusual that it should definitely be getting our attention.  For example, on New Year’s Eve lightning struck four of the most iconic buildings in the United States.  If lightning had hit just one of those buildings, it could have easily been dismissed as a coincidence, but that isn’t what we witnessed.  I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this, because what just occurred in Washington D.C. and New York City is very strange indeed.

On the evening of December 31st, a spectacular bolt of lightning that hit the U.S. Capitol was captured on video…

By itself, such a lightning strike would be truly extraordinary.

But almost simultaneously, a bolt of lightning also hit the Washington Monument…

I was stunned when I first learned that the U.S. Capitol and the Washington Monument had both been hit by lightning on New Year’s Eve.

But that was not the end of the story.

It turns out that the Empire State Building was also struck by lightning on the same evening…

What are the odds of three iconic buildings getting hit on the exact same night?

And what are the odds of that happening on New Year’s Eve?

On top of everything else, One World Trade Center was also struck by lightning on New Year’s Eve.  I am not able to embed this one, but you can see video of that lightning strike here.

Have you ever heard of anything like this ever happening before?

Four of our most iconic landmarks were all struck by lightning on New Year’s Eve, and hardly anyone is even talking about it.

What is wrong with us?

Of course shortly thereafter we witnessed horrific terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas.  Americans tend not to pay much attention to terrorism until it happens on our soil, but now everyone is paying attention.  Hopefully our law enforcement authorities will have some solid answers for us soon, because there are still so many unanswered questions about those attacks.

Unfortunately, many believe that those attacks were just the beginning.

In fact, one former CIA officer is claiming that there are over a thousand “sleepers” inside the United States right now that are preparing more attacks…

A former CIA officer named Sarah Adams was interviewed on the Shawn Ryan podcast just two weeks ago, and warned that there are more than a thousand al-Qaeda sleepers in the United States right now who are planning major attacks on the homeland.

She clearly implicates Biden’s open southern border as the entry point for these potential terrorists and suggests that they have developed new tactics and bombs that can evade detection through traditional means.

For years, millions of people have been pouring over our wide open borders.

For years, people like me have been warning that this is a very serious threat to our national security.

At this point, the damage has been done, and we have all sorts of nuts inside this country that could potentially do all sorts of damage.

Now Donald Trump’s inauguration is coming up on January 20th, and those that are closely associated with Trump have been getting targeted…

A surge in bomb threats and swatting incidents against lawmakers since the election underscores the deep political divide in the U.S. and has lawmakers from both parties calling for more protection.

Members of Congress and President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration have been on the receiving end of a rash of false alarms about pipe bombs or dangerous swatting stunts, in which a fake emergency call sends heavily armed police to a target’s residence.

A swatting incident against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia Republican, led to a woman dying in a car crash with an officer responding to the incident.

Being a prominent politician in this day and age is a very dangerous job.

We should be praying for their safety.

There is one last thing that I wanted to mention before I end this article.

On New Year’s Day, the San Francisco area was shaken by a magnitude 4.7 earthquake…

Northern California residents started off the new year with a rumble, as 4.7-magnitude earthquake struck the region Wednesday night. The tremor came at around 6.34pm Pacific time, with an epicenter about 70 miles north of San Francisco, the United States Geological Survey reported.

Thankfully, the earthquake was not large enough to do much damage, but local residents clearly felt it…

‘I did feel it actually,’ one X user wrote. ‘It was a rolling earthquake, lasted a few seconds.

‘Usually the earthquakes around here are jolts, not rolling, so it was kind of cool to feel the floor roll under my feet.’

Another X user added that it was ‘pretty intense for a 4.7.

‘It was a shallow earthquake too, so that makes [it[ feel stronger, but [is] usually more locally felt.’

Interestingly, this was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake, and Donald Trump is going to be the 47th president of the United States.

But I suppose that most people will also dismiss that fact as just another “coincidence”.

There sure have been a lot of “coincidences” lately, eh?

I am going to keep writing about the stuff that others are not writing about.

2024 was certainly a crazy year, but I believe that 2025 is going to be even more chaotic.

Hopefully all of the shaking that is coming in 2025 will wake a lot more people up, because right now most of the population is still sleeping.
