POSSIBLE MAJOR ALRT WATCH - GET READY - RUSSIAN FIRES -> RADIOACTIVE SMOG -> SURFACE EVACUATION? = PERIMETER ENDGAME? PREP FOR BUSHEHR?
a few years back a consensus was reached that personal alert levels would be raised should there be any indication that Russia was directing populations into subterranian shelters for whatever reason.


KEEP AN EYE ON THIS RUSSIA FIRE THREATENING CHERNOBYL ISSUE


T H I S * C O U L D * B E * I T



Fears Russian wildfires could drive radioactive Chernobyl waste towards Moscow

Ecologist says radioactive particles from trees and plants burnt by summer fires in Chernobyl fallout area could be carried for hundreds of miles by winds

...

"Radionuclides may reach places at distances of hundreds of kilometres, depending on the weather," he said. "If the Bryansk region is in flames, they can reach the Novgorod region, Moscow and, in some conditions, eastern Europe."
 Quoting: [link to www.guardian.co.uk]



Russians fear worst as fires reach Chernobyl fallout zone

"What is not clear is what could be the danger of the combined radiation effect and toxic effect of the smog. No one knows how these effects multiply each other."
 Quoting: [link to www.nzherald.co.nz]




Fires reported in Russia's nuclear-contaminated forests

Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu last week acknowledged the danger from fires in the contaminated regions. He told the AP on Wednesday, however, that ``the situation here is not as difficult as in the areas around Moscow."

Pollution caused by the fires has forced the evacuation of children and elderly people from Moscow to southern Russia as well as to Ukrainian sea resorts, the RBC news agency reported, citing a high-ranking city official.

...

``There is a danger, but we are controlling the situation,'' he said.

...

Onishchenko, who is also head of the consumer protection watchdog Rospotrebnadzor, urged the media not to "spread panic."

With respect to your question, in the case of forest fires, there is remobilization of radioactive materials that have been deposited into the plant material. The risks however, depend strongly on two factors:

First is how much of the deposited material has actually been taken up by the trees/plants themselves. Some studies have shown that there is a competing pathway for other minerals like potassium that lower the concentration of cesium and strontium in the plant material to levels that are significantly lower than they might be otherwise. Also some of the material is leached back into the soil.

The second is the dispersal pattern. It is the latter that leads to a very significant dilution of any radioactivity as it is spread through huge volumes of air, thus significantly reducing its concentration.

Fires on these territories will without a doubt lead to an increase in radiation,” said Vladimir Chuprov, the head of the energy program at Greenpeace Russia. “The smoke will spread and the radioactive traces will spread. The amount depends upon the force of the wind.

Moscow builds bunkers against nuclear attack;
Subway to Yeltsin house in works


Bill Gertz

Russia is continuing a Cold War-era program to build deep underground bunkers, subways and command posts to help Moscow's leaders flee the capital and survive a nuclear attack, The Washington Times has learned. Among the ambitious projects: a secret subway being built directly to the residence of Russian President Boris Yeltsin outside Moscow. "The underground construction appears larger than previously assessed," a CIA report labeled "top secret" reported two weeks ago. "Three decrees last year on an emergency planning authority under Yeltsin with oversight of underground facility construction suggest that the purpose of the Moscow-area projects is to maintain continuity of leadership during nuclear war."

would rad lvls trigger such a system?

"The Perimeter system is very, very nice," he says. "We remove unique responsibility from high politicians and the military."

...


The point of the system, he explains, was to guarantee an automatic Soviet response to an American nuclear strike. Even if the US crippled the USSR with a surprise attack, the Soviets could still hit back. It wouldn't matter if the US blew up the Kremlin, took out the defense ministry, severed the communications network, and killed everyone with stars on their shoulders. Ground-based sensors would detect that a devastating blow had been struck and a counterattack would be launched.

...


Before launching any retaliatory strike, the system had to check off four if/then propositions: If it was turned on, then it would try to determine that a nuclear weapon had hit Soviet soil. If it seemed that one had, the system would check to see if any communication links to the war room of the Soviet General Staff remained. If they did, and if some amount of time—likely ranging from 15 minutes to an hour—passed without further indications of attack, the machine would assume officials were still living who could order the counterattack and shut down. But if the line to the General Staff went dead, then Perimeter would infer that apocalypse had arrived. It would immediately transfer launch authority to whoever was manning the system at that moment deep inside a protected bunker—bypassing layers and layers of normal command authority. At that point, the ability to destroy the world would fall to whoever was on duty: maybe a high minister sent in during the crisis, maybe a 25-year-old junior officer fresh out of military academy. And if that person decided to press the button ... If/then. If/then. If/then. If/then.

Once initiated, the counterattack would be controlled by so-called command missiles. Hidden in hardened silos designed to withstand the massive blast and electromagnetic pulses of a nuclear explosion, these missiles would launch first and then radio down coded orders to whatever Soviet weapons had survived the first strike. At that point, the machines will have taken over the war. Soaring over the smoldering, radioactive ruins of the motherland, and with all ground communications destroyed, the command missiles would lead the destruction of the US.

Atmospheric "Blocking Event"

wtf

Russian Fires & Pakistani Floods Linked to Atmospheric "Blocking Event" from Jet Stream

Written on Wed, 08/11/2010 - 3:25pm
By Chip Brian

Meteorologists monitoring the atmosphere above western Russia are speculating whether jet stream holding patterns may be the cause of the region's wild fires, which have killed at least 50 people; the same is being speculated about the severe flooding in northern Pakistan, which has claimed an estimated 1,100 lives.
New Scientist magazine has reported that the jet stream's flow has been slowed by a "blocking event," which can create extreme conditions in weather systems.
 Quoting: [link to www.mysmartrend.com]



Berserk Weather Causes Worldwide Chaos

...

According to meteorologists monitoring the atmosphere in the northern hemisphere, unusual holding patterns in the jet stream are to blame for the extreme weather in Pakistan and Russia.

Sky News' weather presenter Lucy Verasamy said: "Extreme weather in one place will have a knock on effect elsewhere.

"High pressure in Russia means low pressure elsewhere as all the systems are interconnected."

Experts point the finger of blame towards climate change but say it cannot be proved conclusively.

"This weather is very unusual but there are always extremes every year," said Professor Andrew Watson from the University of East Anglia.

Russia's fire crisis worsened yesterday as officials admitted hundreds of acres contaminated by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster have been hit by blazes.

Ecologists said radiation from about 9,750 acres could be released into the atmosphere in smoke and ash. A Bryansk University environmentalist said doses could be small but harmful. Anton Korsakov said: "There is a higher threat of cancers and embryo mutations, especially if a woman's pregnant."

The resulting plume of smoke is said to be as long as the distance between Chicago and Los Angeles. Carbon monoxide levels were six times the maximum acceptable levels on Saturday, and tiny air pollutant particles in the smoke have seeped into every corner of the city, stinging eyes lungs, even as deep as the Moscow subway system, which is one of the deepest in the world.

the link shows a sat image of the plume as to estimate drift patterns, which would be helpful to some.

an important note is the depth of saturation - into the subway system.

this all leads to, implies the conditions necessary to prompt a general surface evacuation...

Nature's End: The Consequences of the Twentieth Century
Published 1986

Imagine cities with blackened air, where men, women, and children gasp for breath. Imagine a countryside with almost no trees...a land where severe droughts, dust storms, and forest fires rage. Imagine an America of astonishing achievements – but so overpopulated and ravaged by its own excesses that it totters on the brink of the destiny predicted long ago in Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.
This is the world that confronts us in Nature’s End – a world only a few years from now. With all the vivid detail, compassion, and compelling suspense of their New York Times bestseller, the highly acclaimed Warday, Whitley Strieber and James Kunetka now bring us another riveting novel based on scientific fact. Where their earlier book depicted the grim reality of nuclear war, Nature’s End portrays, with the same powerful documentary style, a devastation even more likely to occur: total environmental collapse. It is a crisis that will endanger the entire globe - and demand all the creativity, strength, and courage of humankind.
As Nature’s End opens, the horrifying proposals of Dr. Gupta Singh are gathering momentum. A frightening demagogue with a saintly Gandhi-like demeanor, Singh has dared to voice the unthinkable: the voluntary suicide of one third of the world’s people.
Threatened by poisoned air, water, and food that no longer can support the too rapidly growing populace, nation after nation has joined the Depopulationist International. And now, as the United States stands on the edge of environmental disaster, terrified voters elect a Depopulationist majority in Congress.
Time is running out; only a handful of Americans can stop Singh and expose the danger of his views before his Manifesto becomes the law of the land and millions die. Led by journalist John Sinclair, they find themselves on the run, speeding toward catastrophe, with their lives – and the lives of all humanity – hanging perilously in the balance.
As Singh fights back, in one master stroke of psychological warfare after another, their hope lies in the coded data files of Sinclair’s dead son, Tom, and a mysterious clue: the secret of mankind’s future has something to do with children and a place called Magic.
Here are the horrors – and the wonders – of a technology that is both destroying and advancing humanity. Here is a mystery, a quest, a thriller – an absorbing novel about a future than may someday be ours.
From the paperback:

The year is 2025. Immense numbers of people swarm the globe. In countless, astonishing ways, technology has triumphed – but at a staggering cost. Starvation is rampant. City dwellers gasp for breath under blackened skies. And tottering on the brink of environmental collapse, the world may be ending...
It is a future that could well be ours. In their second shocking and fascinating portrait of America's possible destiny, Whitley Strieber and James Kunetka have again written a breathless thriller, a book that gives us an important warning and ultimately a message of hope.

... as some Catholic friends would tell me that a special something or other occurred with the Christ phenomenon to bring true compassion to the hearts and minds of humans on Earth. They tend to argue the state of humanity as barbaric prior to the appearance of ‘the Christ’ on our planet. As a population strives toward (greater) implementations of civilization, systems of control become as sophisticated as the thinkers and planners themselves. Religion is easy. Easy to believe - easy to author - easy to dictate. The twisting convolutions of seemingly rational thought toward the dogmatic twine like simple vines finding every porous entry to creak, crack and consume the foundation. A net maybe, but the odds of strength diminish with enlightenment.
