Do you need another motivation to move to Panama?

3 years ago

Imagine waking up to a chaotic landscape where the coast line is 30 feet higher in elevation than it was just a day before and the ocean’s water line is further away that it used to be because of a geological upheaval for hundreds of miles in either direction.

The power grid is knocked out up and down the west coast that stretches inland two states over, roads and bridges, hospitals, water treatment plants, public services including EMS are all out of service. Natural gas lines are ruptured and fires break out everywhere with no water pressure to put them out.

No gasoline, potable water, supermarkets and pharmacies cleaned out, shut down and boarded up, gun and ammo shops all sold out, unchecked widespread looting and home invasions, deficient law enforcement services, National Guard in the bigger cities spared to thin to be effective and none in the rural areas. Livestock disappears as desperate people resort to poaching, dead bodies pile up with no place to store them (remember Haiti?), COVID 19 re-emerges.

This may sound like a biblical vision but in fact it has occurred many times in the past long before humans walked the earth and can and will likely happen again in your life time.

Yes I’m taking about a massive earthquake and geological upheaval along the west coast. I know you’ve heard this all before and it always seems to happen someplace else.

Well let me tell you the facts, the fact is that there is an immense amount of pressure that has built up in the fault lines along the US west coast from northern Canada extending all the way down to Central America and beyond.

These fault lines make up the Cascadia Subduction Zone and runs under the States of Californian, Oregon and Washington and has been building up pressure beneath the colliding fault lines causing enormous amounts of kinetic energy that has been building up for decades if not centuries thus preventing the tectonics slip plats in the subduction zone from smoothly traversing past each other.

This natural geological phenomenon is occurring because there are at least two massive subterranean liquefied lava plums thousands of miles wide that have migrated up through the earth’s upper mantle that is pushing up and applying pressure against the earth’s crust directly under the Cascadia Subduction Zone causing it to bind or lock up thus largely preventing the slip plats from moving over each other.

However as the Pacific Tectonic Plate continues to migrate east while being forced under the North American Plate through Cascadia Subduction Zone, (the geographic areas where several major metropolitan cities are located above the Subduction Zone) the slip plates have not been able to adjust or purge the enormous amount of pressure that has built up over the millennium.

Recently there has been an abnormally large increase in small tremors all along the west coast fault line(s) that is a clear indicator that the tectonic plates along the subduction zone have dangerously accumulated stored pressure.

So as the fault lines and associated Subduction Zones shifts it adjusts the pressure to other areas all the while gearing up the for a massive release of the stored energy in the form of an catastrophic earth quake, costal upheaval and probable tsunami(s).

The clues are there and it’s established scientific fact that the Pacific North West is overdue and nearing the time when it will burst transforming the west coast into something that people will not recognize.

And what happens on the west coast will have an major impact on the rest of the US when agricultural products are lost, petrochemical refineries are knocked off line, major shipping ports are shut down, energy costs skyrocket, critical life saving pharmaceuticals become scarce, ATM & global ACH credit card systems stop working and civil society descends into total chaos.

Unfortunately those in the North Western US will soon experience a catastrophic reshuffling of the cards and life as they know it will vanish.

In the mean time my wife and I have secured a sustainable off shore bug-out palace in Panama far removed and well insulated from those areas up north that will be devastated by this pending natural disaster(s) followed by the collapse of civil society.
