      Folks do care...
      And; "We..." has no borders or boundaries!
      "We..." only needs an easy system, for direct involvement.
      That system hides within "civil defense."
      And, it's very workable! (I found it, by happenstance!).
      Such, is our avenue to mechanize and empower pure / direct demos-kratos ("democracy"), within a republic.
      FEMA recommends secondaries systems.
      "We..." can build this, for comprehensive contingencies management.
      Note: a Vet ('73-'78, 2111/0431), asking all you other millions of Vets, scattered throughout neighborhoods, to help build the basic SOP system folks need, for clinging too.
      Use a logistics / liaison "Matrix" NGO, as neutral / objective, "level playing field", to help us consolidate and coordinate resources: human, material, info, environmental...
      Help us "muster" (from "home" [on a device]), to manage crucial issues.
      From a neighborhood incident management perspective.
      "Minutemen, Women, Kids, Elders..."
      Note: The OCD stated, "active and passive civil defense are integral to national security [democratic] posture."
      (Such was the "FEMA" of -1964-, "OCD" / "Office of Civil Defense"; also, the "Civil Defense Administration"; now, "DHS", as the "Department of Homeland Security.).
      Folks! "Civil Defense" ain't "civil defense"!...
      And, at the very least, "civil defense" can not - only be - another government agency.
      You are "civil defense"... With, "them", and with all others,
      We are born "members"!
      It's a basic survival thing, among humans...
      Using basic social systems...
      (Ag.,/food, water, shelter, med., fire/hazard/threat control, waste disposal, S&R, power, etc.).
      As, "social animals"...
      With "niches", and "habits"...
      (Atmos, Hydros, Lithos, Bios, Anthros, Exos, Techno... spheres...).
      FEMA states, "civil defense is emergency management."
      (Such is, or is supposed to be, the general mission, for all levels of DES..!
      ("Disaster and Emergency Services / FEMA / DHS...
      (..."Public Servants"!
      Since, "We..." has no borders or boundaries...
      "We..." can build this, into...
      A comprehensive contingencies management system!
      Note: we should be able, to get the DOD, and the ARC, to help us get operational...
      Your Vets can give us an outstanding SOP... Over night..!
      [Note: all the Vets in your family... Neighborhood...?].
      A place to start... "national security [democratic] posture"...!...?
      And, to get this to work, in the structure of the overall contemporary system, "We..." average folks - normally - end up becoming "volunteers", of the American Red Cross, anyway, throughout the course of a something like a major catastrophe, like a "NCB" - "nuclear, chemical, biological war."
      This system would help us do our parts, far more efficiently, affectively, and effectively.
      To mitigate, prepare, respond, and recover.
      And, if we plug in the tech we need...?
      To bring it all into a 21st century context...?
      Something like the way folks managed their 1776 neighborhoods... Communities... Nation...
      Thusly, an opportunity "We..." are not using!
      I ask you; do you remember the headaches George Washington had with the "militias", during the "revolution"?...
      That, they made up their own minds, about who, what, why, when, where, how, they'd assist "the cause"?
      It's a bit like that...
      That is, within the "matrix" NGO, "We..." must name our "operations Section"...
      DES - "Support, Systems and Services."
      So, "We..." can lock in, all the way to NORAD...!
      And, "We..." can do our own polling and surveys..
      While gathering all others..
      Where "We..." can filter the better ideas to higher working levels..
      From among us...
      We can not "cure", most of the issues we face...
      But, "We..." Can change percentages, overall...
      Problems, versus solutions.
      From the bottom... Up...!
      I'm asking you folks, to take a chance on this, and help "We..." build your system.
      (i.e., We need good tech folks to build us our own net site....)
      This is, our last,cane only option.
      Consider this, as SOS!
      Semper Fidelis!

      "A well regulated [comprehensive contingencies management / neighborhood incident management system] being necessary [to the national security (democratic) posture] of a free state, the right of the people [to employ, a version, of the Swiss template, of "active and passive civil defense"; so to, mechanize and empower, pure / direct demos-kratos, within a republic, by restoring "muster" (from "home", on a device, to resolve crucial issues), in a 21st century context, will not likely be ] infringed."
      FEMA recommends that communities maintain secondary EOCs.
      (Besides the "Primary", far behind a "Police Line", for your "professional" "First Responders" liaison and logistics.)
      However, there's no reason "We..." can't build, and use, such a secondary manual backup system.
      Through, our, "Matrix" NGO...
      Let me know, when you're ready to listen...?
      To all the possibilities, thus far...
      Semper Fidelis... To all you millions of Vets, scattered throughout all neighborhoods, who could give the "operations Section", an outstanding start-up "backbone", as "We..." choose our best, to lead. (Note: FET, especially!).
      To help assure the twinkle, in the eyes of your little ones. Not tears.
      All are born "members."
      "We..." has no borders or boundaries.
      The basics...
      Workable possibilities.

      Remember the stories, about women, who got fed up with what stupid proud men were doing... killing and fighting, and destroying the peace in a town... and how the girls gathered and put a stop to it? Such is what this system could provide, as an avenue for drastic change, to the good. Start with women who have worked in FET... Add this system, to what they were trained to do.
      Imagine! Millions of women (moms, daughters, sisters...), with truce flags, at those tank lines, talking boys out of them, to safety, until safe to go home again? A massacre of them wouldn't look good! With Russian moms showing up, too!

      With respect, Will one of you talking heads hear me out, so I can use you, to get the word out to folks, about a system "We..." can use... Together!
      It used tho be called, "civil defense"! You're born into it, but, folks need to relearn how to use it... To mitigate, prep, respond, recover.
      Start here: With a logistics / liaison,matrix NGO, for "We...", with tech assets, so to consolidate and coordinate resources: human, material, information, environmental...
      For comprehensive contingencies management... So to mechanize and empower pure / direct democracy (demos-kratos?), within a republic!
      The best way, will be, to use the Swiss template, within a representative / republic. Such helps to put the gun issue, in a better place (nothing, Ukraine!).
      Thusly, "active and passive civil defense are integral to national security [democratic] posture!" (OCD, 1963).
      A Vet ('73-'78, 2111/0431), asking, all you millions of Vets, scattered throughout all neighborhoods, to help with this system an honorable SOP backbone.
      Semper Fidelis! I ask Vets, because we could get NGO "Operations" operational, overnight, if someone will put out that word!
      Note: I bought an iPhone, for doing this thing... To start it enough to gain some young Vets who can take over the face to face admin, to launch this!
      To start getting organized, quick! From wherever we are!.
      For texting only, for now!
      (But, I need to charge it again!).
      I will respond!
      But, I better wait, to see if anyone responds to this comment.
      I the response is good, I'll give the number, for start up. How's that?
      I'm edgy about revealing the number, at the moment.
      This needs all; but it needs admin, first.
      For a secondary manual backup system.
      We nominate our best leaders, as we go!
      Oh! For now, I can only give you the utopian perspective, on what the system should be, so to have objectives to aim for, toward life, liberty, happiness, and living the art of kindness.

    I am a descendant of the Maidu and Nisenan, native tribes. Our territory would be entirely arbitrary if it weren't for the fact that it was mentioned in this very documentary! My people are from the CA valley and Sierra Foothills/Gold country.
    Among our oral history is a story of what is loosely translated as: "eternal night and cold pain". It happened thousands of years ago... where the sun was afraid to be seen and turned the rivers to ice. We were a migratory tribe and traveled up and down the foothills. My people stayed in the valley that year. Lost hundreds of people in the winter that stayed too long. I've always been fascinated with that story as a child and now I find out that modern science has shed some more light on it!
    Proud to say that I have been born and raised here and this documentary gave me a huge connection to my native land.

      This search is SO SPECULATIVE I refer to the explosion location. Much of this video is WASTED acting mysterious "The Glory of the Chase" This was ALL FILLER because in the end they had NOTHING CONCLUSIVE to give.
      Krakatoa was SELECTED because of its public recognition from its Movie fame "Krakatoa East of Java" The the only range they could find was from 6000 BC - 1250 AD with this researcher nodding his head that this is Evidence to show the Explosion was from Krakatoa is "COMICAL" it is a "Lampooning" of real research
      China the second loation was also selected it is a videographers dream China is exotic and mysterious and a land of secrets and mysteries. This was the only bright colored footage. (REALIZE at the time this was made China was VERY FREINDLY with the west and Americans) So doing some shooting on location in China was an audiance gimme!.
      What is all wrong it the testimony we heard a noise and we are told this was 3000 miles away.
      This was so far away NOTHING COULD BE DISCERNED but you mark it with a small marker.
      A person posted here about Korea and the FAR SUPERIOR in formation recorded there. Another things about Korea is it is very mountainous. Looking at Koran records there is some flash and bang! things happened as a result. Nothing happened Physically 3000 miles away deep in change that would give direction Which the the GIANT ELEPHANT in this video
      But korea has mountaln so when the tidal wave struck it would have carried databile wook up these mountains within 50-100 miles of shore. So there is your charcoal. and the moutains would show direction.
      Which is something the VIDEOGRAPHERS did not want as the budget was far to small to search for the actual volcano that may still be underwater in a completely different Location.
      Where none of the creature comforts are that television and hollywood types live and die by
      So in reality we watched an episode of X-Files; the story EVER of the chance, and the story EVER the first that got away.
      If I did not know some of these people and their proclivities I might have been more pulled into the fisheye POV which they seek to get you to see and muse over. When ones see's past the scripts the holywood stages and the glamour shots Your are left with a long winded tale where they actually gave you nothing.

      Maybe nobody survived and a new species emerged which became us. Maybe it didn't happen thousands but millions of years ago and maybe this is what killed the dinosaurs and we took over. Maybe it wasn't a natural catastrophe but some other civilization from another planet arrived to earth and needed the planet for themselves because theirs was dying as ours is dying now and so they created this and then settled in and we actually come from them, whoch would explain why we are so poorly adapted to this planet and why no animal life recognizes us as part of them.

      And this is why we should all be curious why Our corrupt leaders are yelling about Climate change so they can sneak their self indulging bills through rather than putting plans in place & preparing the Country for what is actually more likely to happen. The planet has cycles of temps.. what will be catastrophic is when a Coronal Mass Ejection hits the planet & the grid that isn't prepared blows bc they have spent decades arguing back & forth wether it's the responsibility of the electric companies or the Government. Or perhaps very soon when the magnetic piles reverse... it's so odd that Our Government hasn't even thought to mention to the people that the poke has been migrating ever faster for years and we are way past due for a reversal... Boy.. that's gonna be a Flippin disaster. You'll say Coronavirus what?! If you haven't watched the older documentary about the magnetic pokes reversal being way past due, look it up... how they date the magnetic lava rock in Hawaii & ancient pottery is amazing! Or even another major volcanic eruption occurring.. and what is sad is today we know about all these things, we know that they are an imminent and looming threat, yeah the fear mongers have absolutely no concern to be prepared for it. If the power grid goes out tomorrow in the US, we will be killing each other by the month's end.. because people have no self-sufficiency anymore. For some reason people think it's a good thing to be dependent on the grocery store, to be dependent on Uber, to be dependent on electric vehicles when there's not even enough raw material to make batteries to replace even just the cars on the road today. If you don't know how to grow food and don't have the Necessities to do so at hand or have somewhere to grow the food you're going to starve to death in 2022 & beyond BC we have no self reliant back ups in place. Kids know how to work a personal computer these days but they have no idea how to plant a seed. It's insane to think the mass casualty will be worse today when we have more knowledge than we ever have simply because we've become lazy and dependent on technology, when that technology doesn't have the capability to sustain us.

    There were two mega eruptions. The first occurred in 536AD, likely a VEI6. Radiocarbon dating has shown the eruption had a heavier impact in Europe, the northern hemisphere, and the arctic. This means the eruption happened somewhere very north. The exact volcano is still a mystery. I believe it was Katla in Iceland but there is currently not enough data to prove which volcano was responsible.
    The second eruption happened in 540AD at Krakatoa, Indonesia. This was a VEI7 eruption. These two events triggered the Dark Ages.
    The Ilopango VEI6 eruption in El Salvador happened in 431AD, unrelating to our story but having a direct impact on the mesoamerican cultures. This would have led to famine and Teotihuacan being abandoned.

    I first read of Krakatoa in 1975, when I was 10 years old. Finding accounts and documentation at the time, partly due to my age & limited resources, was not anywhere as easy as it is today. Most academic adults I knew then had never ever heard of it, and those who had were historians of Eastern Culture. I did not know many, if any, geologists or vulcanologists myself. The 1883 Krakatoa eruption caused red skies across the globe for several years. Wasn't bad enough to wreck civilization globally, but still had undeniable global effects. I only learned later that was really the beginning of modern vulcanology. The rate at which Krakatoa has rebuilt itself since 1883 is astounding, to say the least! Watching the daily developments of Mt. St. Helen's as a 15 year old in 1980 was even more fascinating, if not frightening, as well!

Taupo-nui-atea refers to the massive lake that took the place of the mountain that previously existed beforehand as 'The great cloak of a tia' I think possibly atea = sky projectile comet/meteor.

    Not a mystery if you read about something called "recurrent nova", an event during which an "external layer" (this is extremely simplified) is blown out of the sun like a nova (technically more like a corona ejection but all around the Sun). The build up to the event is a decrease in Sun brightness as the density on the outer layer increases (down to the brightness of the Moon, hence the stories of dark sun and the two moons). During the eruption, the solar system is full of "dust" resulting the apparent disappearance of all other stars (hence the stories of falling stars and dark skies). Of corse, such and eruption cause panic and severe climate changes. There is also increasing evidence that this is all related to Cimate Cycles and Magnetic Excursion cycles (with lengths of 12000, 6000, 3000, 1500, 750 and 375 years long). Below some examples (note that the shorter the cycle the weaker it is, and the further we look the harder it is to notice smaller cycles):
    ±375 years ago years ago (375-Year Cycle): Maunders Minimum mini-ice age (1645 to 1715), the 30 years of war (1650-1680). The Ming Dynasty collapse (1644, severe drought)
    ±750 years ago (750-year cycle): Volcanic event (1315-1320) caused damaged crops and mass cattle death, resulting in the Great Famine (1315-1322), resulting in mass death and malnourished/weakened people, resulting in the spread of the Plague (1331-1353) which was a bubonic plague, resulting in the weakening of empires, resulting in wars like the 100 year war (1337-1453)
    ±1125 years ago (375-Year Cycle): Medieval Warm Period (900-1300) made climate wet in Europe, arid in North America, may have depopulated the Great Plains of North America, then The Crusades (1095-1291), The Khmer Civilization collapse (1000-1200, experts don’t know why), The Maya Civilization collapse (900, severe drought killed millions of Maya people due to famine and lack of water), The Tang Dynasty collapse (907, crop failure and famine associated with drought), The Tiwanaku Empire (1000, drought, 10-meter drop in lake level at this time), Anasazi Collapse (1150, North America experienced a 300-year drought called the Great Drought)
    ±1500 years ago (1500-Year Cycle): "The worst year to be alive" (536): A volcanic eruption caused climate cooling, resulting in crop failures, then famine (weakening people), then the Plague of Justinian (541-549) which was a bubonic plague.
    ±3000 years ago (3000-Year Cycle): Sterno Etrussia Excursion. Late Bronze Age collapse (Hittites in 1178 BC, Mycenaean Greece in 1050 BC, the collapse affected a large area covering much of Southeast Europe, West Asia and North Africa, 300-year drought event), Indus Civilization collapse (1000 BC, experts don’t know why but think it was climate change and famine)
    ±6000 years ago (6000-Year Cycle): Solovki/Noah/Sumerian Excursion: Nothing to do with religion, instead massive floods all over the world. Çatalhöyük Civilization collapse (flourished 9000-7000 years ago then suddenly vanished, experts don’t know why), surviving Sumerians came to Mesopotamia (5,300 years ago), first city states (5,000 years ago), Prehistoric Egypt (5000 years ago), massive advances in agriculture like irrigation, all known domestication of animals and plants (4,500 years ago). Note that this event was so brutal that barely anything was left from previous civilizations.
    ±12,000 years ago (12,000-Year Cycle: Gothenburg/Younger Dryas Excursion: Global Mega-Faunal Extinction (remember the frozen Mammoths?)
    ±18,000 years ago (6000-Year Cycle): Hilina Pali/Lake Biwa/Lake Imuruk Excursion. Unknown effects.
    ±24,000 years ago (12,000-Year Cycle): Lake Mungo/Last Glacial Max Excursion: Mega-Faunal Extinction mainly in Australia/Eurasia/Africa
    ±36,000 years ago (12,000-Year Cycle): Mono Excursion: Mega-Faunal Extinction mainly in North America
    ±48,000 years ago (12,000-Year Cycle): Leschamp/Napoli Excursion: Global Mega-Faunal Extinction.
    ±60,000 years ago (12,000-Year Cycle): Norwegian Greenland Sea/Gaotai Excursion. Unknown effects.
    ±72,000 years ago (12,000-Year Cycle): Toba Excursion, known as the greatest bottleneck in human history. Caused 1,000 years of volcanic winter. It is estimated that less than 10,000 people survived on the entire planet.
    Note: Remember the 12000-Year Mayan Calendar? Well, now it makes sense.

He was used to be deceiving everyone from the very beginning and yet he has no clue about this 1000years that he was imprisoned. He in his His-Story calls it dark ages and fabricated all sort of lies and deception to convince the world. But what's fascinating is that all the mega structures and out of the world structures we find all around the world today are built in this period of so called Dark Ages. To build such structures, only a unified society who lived in harmony without wars and deception can do and this could well be the millennial age of Messiah that has come and gone.
      What we actually have is a complete Reset of would view since 18th century. It was said that the accuser will be released after 1000year imprisonment to go out and deceive the whole world and bring forth wars and death and destruction. And that's what we see since 300years ago to now. It is all so said the people will be like the sands of the sea and that's what we have now. It's also said deceiver will gather the kings of the world and gog and magog and set out to destroy the Holy city and that's where we are heading now. Also first complete destruction was the world by flood was attributed to defilement of creation by experimenting with genetics. And that's what the world is hell bent on doing in disguise of bringing everything and everyone into a unified society transhumanism. Time is nigh for fire from the skies and JUDGEMENT

      @@aron1332 Taupo is a ‘supervolcano’ and one of the most frequently active and productive rhyolite caldera in the world. The huge caldera (collapse crater) has been partly filled by New Zealand’s largest lake, Lake Taupo. The caldera is created by subsidence of the ground surface due to emptying of the magma chamber in huge eruptions. The present magma chamber is between 6 and 8 km below the lake.
      Although Taupo Volcano has much more violent eruptions than cone volcanoes, they are fortunately less frequent. It began erupting about 300,000 years ago and the present day caldera was created by an eruption 27,000 years ago called the Oruanui Eruption. Between this and the ‘Taupo Eruption’ (1800 years ago) there were at least 26 much smaller eruptions which formed lava domes and spread pumice and ash over nearby areas.
