Prepper News - News targeted for the doomsday prepper and survivalist community

The Bullentin of Atomic Scientists - keepers of the infamous Doomsday Clock - recently moved the hands of The Clock to 11:57 pm, or 3 minutes to midnight. Since 1947, the Clock has been a symbol of just how close to destruction mankind is. You will never see the clock hit midnight. Midnight signifies destruction is imminent (similar to Defcon 1), and on Jan 22, 2015 the Clock moved just 3 minutes away.

In 1953 as the Cold War was ramping up the Doomsday was at 2 minutes to midnight. This was as the US was pursuing the much more powerful H-Bomb. Then, only 2 other times has the Clock been at 3 minutes to midnight.

The reason cited for the Clock to 11:57 this time, is "Unchecked climate change, global nuclear weapons modernizations, and outsized nuclear weapons arsenals pose extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity.." So, OK..they must have needed to placate their enviromentalist friends, and throw "Climate Change" in there. But on the nuclear arsenal front, there have been many changes lately.

Currently, both the US and Russia are modernizing their nuclear weapons. Russia has three times the destructive nuclear arsenal as the US. And on top of that - with Russia "going rogue" - they have annexed Crimea in violation of treaties with a number of nations...including the US. And not so well known, is that Russia has developed medium-range, nuclear capable cruise missiles, which is another violation of a treaty with America. And then Russia has clearly been acting much more agressively, and sending planes and subs into it's neighbors' territories.

With our weak US President not really responding to external threats, more aggressive and dangerous acts by Russia can be expected. I'm sure you don't have to watch the Doomsday to realise how much closer to The End we have come in the past few years.

Press Release - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

Now that Ebola has reached the shores of America I decided to really dig in to the data and find out just how bad things really are. In doing this I looked to the The World Health Organization's data on Ebola, plotted the results chronologically, then fit a math equation to that data. The result is shown on the chart on the left which projects 7 Billion deaths by August 2016.

Keep in mind this chart is really just a simple calculation and may not come to pass. For one thing the actual data on Ebola only includes stats from West Africa, but it is assumed that our healthcare system in the US. So the fatality rate may not be as bad.

On the other hand, people in America are much more mobile than those in West Africa - we fly around, and drive everywhere. This opens up the possibility of an infected person coming into contact with other people from distant areas of the US. This would create more "pockets" in our country where Ebola could take hold. The end result is that healthcare officials would have a more difficult job tracking Ebola.

The next few weeks are critical. If healthcare officials are not able to stop the spread of Ebola in the US then you will see deathtolls here closely matching my projections. The first person to arrive in America had contact with 100 other people. If any of these people end up with Ebola in the next few weeks

Both North Korea and South Korea have fired shots into each other's territory. The North fired 500 shots near South Korean islands, while the South responded with 300 across the border. All landed in the water, but residents of nearby islands were force to take shelter.

North Korea has also vowed to engage in a fourth nuclear test which will most certainly be met with even more UN sanctions. The South Korean Foreign Ministry has said "The North should bear in mind that, if it pushes ahead with a nuclear test despite grave warnings of neighbors and the international community, it will pay the price without fail,"

This comes amidst the annual spring-time joint U.S. / S. Korea military exercises. So it's that time of year again - the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing and North Korea starts its belligerent tirades towards S. Korea and the U.S.

None of this should not really be taken lightly though. A state of war still technically exists as no peace treaty has ever been signed to end the Korean War. With South Korea being a U.S. ally, and North Korea being an ally of China, things could get out-of-control one day and threaten nuclear war. All the more reason for us prepper to remain vigilant in our prepper supplies.

As it turns out, Russian troops have also taken control of a naval base in addition to invading the Crimea Peninsula. They've now raised the Russian flag at the now taken-over naval HQ located at the Black Sea Port of Sevastopol. This naval base takeover has led people to understand the Russian intent to completely neutralize any form of military opposition that gets in their way.

Kiev is a large city in Europe, and they're raising an opposing military action. Putin has been making statements that "fascist" violent street protests are what made him make his Russian military move to take control of the naval base and the Crimea Peninsula.

The great majority of Crimean electricity, food, and water is supplied from the European Ukraine. Kiev is willing to use their armed military force to put a hold on the supply train between the Ukraine and Russia. If things continue to escalate with Kiev ready and willing to stop the supply chain, then Kiev will be putting a halt on Crimea resources for as long as they need to. Moscow has reported that they haven't issued any additional troops, and that Russian military are wearing unmarked battle gear in the area.

The Russian's have been reported to have been provoking Ukrainian troops in the Crimea area. And, if the provocation of Ukrainian troops doesn't stop, then appropriate force will be taken by Kiev to stop the Ukrainian troops from being bothered. Russian troops took over the naval base so easily and with such amazing precision. Unarmed volunteers also helped the Russian troops and supported their move across the peninsula.

Mar 19, 2014 - Ukraine warns Russia over Crimea

Due to the choppiness of the Black Sea, naval exercises put on by Poland and the United States are going to be delayed for the next 24 hours. These strategically placed “war games” are adding strength to NATO resolve to put an end to the Russian marauding.

After the Russian's took over Crimea, all bets were off after that point. NATO doesn't fool around when it comes to protecting themselves and their allies. By the U.S. getting involved and showing their unwavering support, NATO will understand that it's power is a much stronger force than what the Russian military can withstand.

It's only a matter of time before the European NATO influence and support takes back control of Crimea. The naval exercises are just one part of the NATO military move to familiarize themselves with the area.

NATO is also launching F-16 launches, and they expect the naval exercises to not be delayed any more than 24 hours total. The sea isn't all that choppy anymore and soon the military exercises can begin.

The USS Truxton, complete with a crew of over 300 naval men, was scheduled to be about 150km away from Russian forces in Crimea. Also, extra Polish air support flights have been circling around and over Romania and Poland.

The U.S. military is also involving Lithuania by giving them air support so they can air patrol over the Baltic States. Lithuania is a country in Northern Europe and one the NATO ally states, so of course the U.S. is going to back up their play.

Mar 11, 2014 - US and Poland have war games.

Current Russian military exercises near the Ukraine border has the U.S. officially concerned. To set the record straight, it's the belief of the American military that Russia doesn't actually plan to officially cross the border.

Looking at the evidence that supports this belief, Russia hasn't made a move to secure the supply transport routes that would play a fundamental role in any Russian invasion into the Ukraine. Also, the level of actual Russian military action seems within normal operating range for the area, according to U.S. sources.

The true meaning behind the Russian exercises near the Ukraine is forecasted by U.S. intelligence sources as a message from Putin. He wants to make it clear that he has the ability to move his troops into action at any time he chooses to protect Russian interest.

However, on the flip side of the coin, having Russian military exercises so close to the Ukrainian border could enable Putin to get his troops across the border so fast that the American diplomatic efforts would be too slow to immediately react.

Russian and the Ukraine are major partners in domestic goods trading. Past Russian military moves can give the U.S. some background information on how Russia typically uses its military intelligence team. This way, the U.S. will be able to predict Russia's next move more easily.

Kerry warns that any military intervention would be a very bad mistake and that the Russians should remember that the Ukraine is a sovereign nation.

A gigantic asteroid, the size of three football fields is going to come in close proximity to Earth on Feb. 17th There's no actual threat of the asteroid hitting Earth, but it will be close enough to be filmed as it flies by.

The history of asteroids hitting the earth involves the most recent one on February 15th, 2013. It happened above Chelyabinsk, Russia. This asteroid in particular injured over 1,000 people with falling glass shards. The name of this asteroid is DA14.

When it exploded, DA14 released the equivalent of 20 atomic bombs into the atmosphere. No one has been found dead yet, just lots and lots of injuries.

According to researchers, an asteroid hitting the planet earth or exploding above it happens about once every century. The U.S. says having the ability to deflect NEO's (Near Earth Objects) before they can make an impact is key to protecting Earth from future asteroid explosions.

Usually, an asteroid or meteor will make an impact in far-off regions of the world like Antarctica or the ocean, for example. Only very seldomly do they ever impact areas of the United States and other populated countries directly.
