USA Today: ‘More explosions could occur’: La Soufriere volcano eruption sends thousands fleeing on Caribbean island of St. Vincent

The La Soufriere volcano erupted Friday morning on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent, then again in the afternoon, sending columns of ash more than 20,000 feet into the air.

The eruptions followed mandatory evacuation orders from the government. Roughly 16,000 people live in the “red zone” near the volcano and required evacuation, according to Erouscilla Joseph, director of the University of the West Indies’ Seismic Research Center.

“More explosions could occur,” she said Friday morning, adding that it was impossible to predict whether any potential upcoming explosions would be bigger or smaller than the first one.

Explosive eruption rocks volcano on Caribbean’s St. Vincent

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — An explosive eruption rocked La Soufriere volcano on the eastern Caribbean island of St. Vincent on Friday after the government ordered thousands to evacuate their homes nearby.

Experts said the first explosion shot an ash column 32,000 feet (10 kilometers) into the sky and that the majority of the ash was headed northeast into the Atlantic Ocean. Lightning crackled through the towering column of smoke and ash late Friday.

Heavy ashfall was reported in communities around the volcano and beyond, with authorities saying some evacuations were limited by poor visibility.

Several flights also were canceled and islands including Barbados, St. Lucia and Grenada prepared for light ashfall as the 4,003-foot (1,220-meter) volcano continued to rumble. Authorities reported two other explosions later Friday as the island braced for possible additional activity.

UPDATE 1. Thank you BM.

Daily Mail:

It’s time to stop obsessively Clorox-ing every surface and object, U.S. health officials announced Monday.  

An army of sanitizing robots, round-the-clock cleaning staffs and UV lamp-wielding workers is being called of by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which has deemed the risk of contracting COVID-19 by touching surfaces ‘low.’ 

Schools, businesses, and households have spent millions collectively over the past year in an effort to step up cleaning practices and make their spaces safer – or at least to make them feel safer. 

It has given rise to the term ‘hygiene theater,’ referring to the suspicion that most of these high-tech sanitization practices are a waste of time and money, as reported by The Atlantic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) latest guidance update confirms that the benefits of constant scrubbing and disinfectant-dousing robots do not outweigh the risks of contracting coronavirus from a contaminated surface. 

(We at Vlad Tepes have been referring to this as “medical theatre since it started)

Ottawa Sun:

Health Canada has issued a recall on disposable masks containing a material made of tiny particles it says could pose a danger if inhaled.

The agency is advising people not to wear masks with graphene or biomass graphene because its preliminary assessment of the available research suggests the particles cause early lung toxicity in animals, though the risks to humans are not yet known.

It says variables such as the design of a mask, how long it’s worn and the type of graphene material used would all affect the potential to inhale particles from the material that is reported to have antiviral and antibacterial properties.

Health Canada says in an advisory that it has requested data from mask manufacturers to assess the potential health risks related to face coverings that contain graphene.

It has directed distributors, importers and manufacturers to stop selling the masks and has also advised provinces and territories to halt their use.

The agency says anyone who has worn a graphene mask should consult their healthcare provider if they have concerns such as shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.

It says the masks have been used in schools and daycares by adults and children alike.

The agency says they may have also been used in some healthcare settings.

As this is a serious and important health warning, the entire text is copied here in case anything should happen to the original article. Also because it is an enormously satisfying response to people who have literally screamed at me about wearing masks.

This may explain the flood of videos that have been appearing showing small black fibrous threads in masks which appear to react to stimulus such as moisture or static electricity, and which are being imputed with a lot of attributes and motives. This reality though, that it causes the exact symptoms what will get you shoved into an ICU with a ventilator as a serious Covid case, that is quite enough of an explanation.

Also, it has been the contention of this site, that in most things outside of the basics, a government’s job should be to offer the best information available and allow people to decide for themselves what actions to take on a given issue. Being that the government has literally forced people to wear masks, they should be fully liable for the risks they have put people in for wearing them, and be sued pretty much out of office for doing so. Had they not forced their half baked ideas, then the issue would look a lot different in court, assuming courts have any of the same purposes and attributes we have been raised to expect of them.

Thank you Johnny U.

I have had numerous arguments about how much to capitulate to irrational scientism in order to have government condescend to give us back some of our rights and freedoms they have taken away allegedly for Covid19 control.

Close everything for 2 weeks to help stop hospitals from being overwhelmed, then we were lied to about that. Hospitals were never overwhelmed. In fact they produced more choreography than cures it would seem from Youtube.

Over the last year, we were told masks do not help, don’t wear one and save them for front line workers. Ok. Now we all have to wear one and ideally two.

And maybe if you take the experimental mRNA gene therapy, not even approved by regulatory agencies except as emergency measures, you might be able to get a special piece of paper or code on your Big Brother tracking device by Apple or Google, allowing you to do some of what you always did. Maybe. And maybe even if you take the shot, you may still have to wear the mask. Also, there is no immunity passport for those that are actually immune. Vaccine maker, Merck has stated plainly that they won’t bother making this mRNA device as it doesn’t give very good immunity compared to just getting the disease and recovering. Which is what they, (and a family doctor I spoke to) recommends we do. Yet there is no talk of an antibody test so those that recovered from this disease, and there could be millions who never even knew they had it and fought it off, giving them a passport. By the same metric, there is no talk about an antibody test for those who got the shot but didn’t produce enough antibodies to confer immunity.

That makes it feel like the passport is a lot more about obedience than medicine.

At the end of the day, there are only a couple of ways we can get our freedoms back. One is the method by which I would be immediately arrested for describing, even if it is not recommended. And the other is this:

To mangle the Bard:

“Stand not upon the order of your opening but merely open!”

We get our freedoms back by taking them, or having leaders willing to recognize they were never theirs to take away.

It needs to be noted that states that did open, and even ones that never closed, have pretty much the same disease curves and possibly even better ones, than those that took authoritarian control like New York.

Eeyore for Vlad.

UPDATE FOR CANADA: Thank you Kim

Once the bulk of the population is vaccinated, we will still have to do all this crap.

It turns out a few vaccines have caused disease and testing failed and been quietly pulled in the past.

On posting links: I know from my correspondence with MarcusZ1967, and now with Hellequin GB., that posting links from Bitchute to this site is very difficult, if not impossible. This is NOT my doing. Nor is it from anyone working with this site. I suspect, and only suspect, that WordPress has made some kind of deal with social media sites, to make it difficult to post Bitchute links to the comments. So far, what has worked for MarcusZ is going to tinyurl.com and getting a new URL for a bitchute link and posting that to the comments.

If I am correct, even in an approximate way in my estimate, then WP will find a way to look throughTiny URLs and block those as well, which resolve to Bitchute. But for now, that seems to work.
