The 21st Century is inching ever closer towards chaos… and the time to get out of the big city is upon us.

A staggering 176,000 gallons of crude oil was allowed to spill near the Dakota Access Pipeline camp where protestors are camped out. According to the North Dakota Health Department, electronic monitoring equipment failed to detect a rupture in the pipeline, allowing it to spew thousands of gallons of crude oil in the nearby North Dakota creek, located just two and a half hours from Cannon Ball where protestors are camped out.

Scientists have warned that a recent spike in Earthquakes around the San Andreas Fault is a harbinger of a much bigger mega earthquake about to strike California.  Following Thursday afternoon’s 6.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of California, another 7.8 earthquake hit the Solomon Islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean. Experts have warned that these inexplicably large earthquakes occuring along the Ring of Fire could have ruptured the San Andreas Fault, which would increase the chances of a deadly mega earthquake hitting California.

The devastating fallout from the Fukushima nuclear disaster continues to creep around the world, with radioactive samples discovered in the United States food chain for the first time. Despite assurances the radioactive fallout would be contained, the entire Pacific Ocean is now contaminated. Cesium-134, the so-called fingerprint of Fukushima, was measured in seawater samples taken from Tillamook Bay and Gold Beach in Oregon, researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution are reporting.
