“This is my letter to the world….”
Real World Address
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished
Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

I’m rooting for the meteor.
I’ll settle for Yellowstone, but only if it’s worse than the meteor.
JWM
ghosts have always been real, silly.
John, it will be. Much worse.
“Caldera”
=========
Yellowstone Park sits directly over a hot spot. The volcano is quiet today, only the geysers and hot springs remind us that there is an enormous volcano under the beautiful scenery. Just 600,000 years ago a huge eruption filled the area with lava flows. After the enormous eruption there was a void under the top of the volcano. The weight of the volcano caused the top to come crashing down forming the large Caldera in the park. Since the hot spot remains active, another giant eruption will almost certainly occur. The question is, when?
A new cycle of volcanic activity has begun. The number and strength of earthquakes have increased; new hot springs have appeared and existing ones have grown. A large area to the northeast of Yellowstone Lake has uplifted. Will it erupt again? If so, when? How much damage will it cause?
Not until the thermal imaging units were installed in satellites in the nineties was the scientific community aware that calderas existed. They were simply too large to be seen with the naked eye or any known instruments before that time. It was then that the vast size of the Yellowstone caldera became apparent. On the order of 600 miles by 400 miles scientists were stunned to realize the magnitude of the forces it contained.
Imagine one of those Betty Crocker dinners. You pour a packet of vegetables into the Pyrex then you dump a can of gravy on it. Then you spoon dollops of gooey dough on top of that, then into the oven at three-fifty for an hour. When its done you have a crispy roof over a boiling vat of gruel. If you poke a hole through the roof the gruel will ooze up from below. This is a Caldera.
The earth is seven-tenths water so it is in keeping that most of the worlds Caldera’s are underwater. The largest known Caldera is located approximately four thousand miles west of California in the center of the Pacific ocean and it is called Panthea. Less than one hundred feet below the surface of the sea bottom the temperature of Panthea is estimated at over eight thousand degrees. Steam regulary is emitted from hundreds of surface orifices over Panthea and the surface is constantly moving.
Panthea is estimated to be over two hundred and fifty miles in depth and nine hundred miles in diameter, the largest of all Calderas. Tied to the San Andreas fault on the United States western seaboard Panthea is considered the origin for most of the seismic activity in this region as well as in Alaska and eastern Asia including Japan, China.
Recent readings of Panthea’s core temperatures indicate that changes are occuring as the surrounding waters escalate in temperature. Biologists are plotting computer models to try to determine what the ripple effect will be if the caldera roof would collapse due to liquification. The first sign would be Richter machines going off the scale, on the order of fifteen point oh. This alone would disturb the very mantle of the earth itself. Second, the collapse in volume of the earths surface, the ceiling of the caldera, would cause huge tension release within the oceans body. Think of a large plate of spaghetti with suddenly no plate. When the structure of the ocean floor itself is removed, it is not clear what exactly will happen in other parts of the world.
Suddenly the oceans water would sweep into the new void created by the caldera. This water must come from somewhere, it would come from everywhere simultaneously. Like pouring cold coffee down the kitchen sink. Gone. The level of the seas would drop six feet in a matter of minutes and coastlines would be scrubbed as massive volumes of seawater were pulled toward the void. Millions of people worldwide would be swept along with the rushing seas. Entire cities would vanish, coastlines too would no longer exist.
Pantheon is roughly the size of the Gulf of Mexico, but two hundred and fifty miles deep. This space would consume large amounts of both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. In hours the level of the worlds oceans would drop more than 100 feet. Icebergs in the Arctic sea would topple as they touched the sea bed, the Mediterranean sea would be dry. Hydrostatic vacuum would cause all buildings on all coasts to collapse.
As trillions of gallons of seawater drain into the gaping boiling Panthea the water will be instantly heated to eight thousand degrees creating a gaseous explosive mixture of thousands of chemicals simultaneously. The blowback from this will shower the stratosphere worldwide.
Matt Rense is a thirty four year old construction superintendent who lives in the town of Crystal Bay outside Chesapeake, Virginia with his wife Sarah and their two kids Jarrod and Sensia, ages 10 and 8. Sarah is a teacher in a private school named Colloquial First where their kids attend. Matt has a past time as an Ultralight pilot and this may be the key to evacuating his family to safe ground further inland from the coast of their home as pandemonium reigns all around them.
I’m with JWM….almost.
Although, a WORLDWIDE POWER OUTAGE could be fun to watch for about the first week, but after that it would be like reinventing the wheel the hard way. And, hey, I would definitely buy tickets to see Disneyland Alligator Infestation.
And I had to ask. Searched for the meaning of CTHULHU….Oh, and then of course, I had to know how to pronounce this newly discovered word. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIgpcr-6q0w
And now I know. But why?
RGB Casts the deciding vote to end Roe vs Wade after Roberts wimps out again.
Ghost, that was one hell of an article and thank you for posting it. I find it quite exciting actually but in an amazing way. Most interesting.
BETTY WHITE WILL LIVE FOREVER!! one of the all time best bless her little heart
Betty and the Queen Mum should get together for tea.
Thanks Jack! As far as writing goes, I’m a sprinter not a marathoner. lol
We already have rats of unusual size. They’ve been torching cities and toppling statues, and the rats of unusual size in political office and Enemedia-Pravda have been applauding their fellow large rats’ “peaceful protests.”
Ghost: does that moron “Matt” of which you wrote realize that an ultralight holds only the pilot and no passengers?
I know a guy in Florida that has an ultralight that carries 4 people.
Yellowstone NP, light airplanes
Not to steal the thread, but Yellowstone NP, lightweight airplane in vid below and its owner live just down the road a ways from me.
I would take his passenger anyplace she wanted to go in any airplane.
Yes, we have rock on our property from a previous explosion of the caldera at Yellowstone.

Fun for Friday in Idaho.
What, no gorilla dust cloud?
Bingo card left out something:
MARINERS WIN WORLD SERIES
SEATTLE IMPLODES IN DISBELIEF
I don’t like your game ’cause I’d rather watch Pelosi choke on her lowers. Besides that, the center is supposed to be free.
Sweet Meteor of Death,that’s some bingo card,Mr V!
Agree Firefly season 2 would be a SJW/Feminista snore fest,now that we know creator Joss Whedon & most of the cast are flaming sh*tlibs. Notable exception Adam Jayne Cobb Baldwin,bless him.
Well,Ghost,I knew about Yellowstone’s Caldera,but not the mighty Panthea. A most excellent description,thank you. Reminds me of a Firefly episode where Wash,Serenity’s pilot is navigating thru asteroids,or spacebullets,and Capt Mal asks for a status check.
Wash replies “Oh God,oh God,we’re all gonna die?”
Good to know the proper Lovecraftian pronunciation of Cthulhu,thanks Kevin.
Did you know,you can make a wonderful (and edible) Cthulhu with a large turkey breast and King Crab legs? It’s a great way to find out who has a sense of humor at Thanksgiving.
A prophet may now arrive from anywhere. This reporter, in Ventura, for instance.

Casey,that was EPIC!!! Wonder if his words penetrated the thick skulls he was facing.
If this virtue signaling nonsense goes on much longer,I’m going to start wearing my Army surplus gas mask everywhere,triple digit weather be damned.
Nori:
Not a chance that a single syllable penetrated those progressive skulls. This has nothing to do with the virus. It has everything to do with the power, with humiliating the people BECAUSE THEY CAN. You may have noticed that Schumer, Biden, Pelosi et al are never photographed without their masks. The message is quite clear: Good People (progressives) wear their mask because they “care”. Deplorables don’t mask because they are, by default, Bad People.
And in case you think this will be going away anytime soon, consider:
Second hand smoke is a lie, any yet smoking has been banned nearly everywhere, “to protect others from the harm caused by second hand smoke”. Climate change/global warming, etc. is bullshit. Yet my benighted state, (CA) yearly spends billions of tax dollars to mitigate climate change.
There has never been a less “racist” country on earth than contemporary America. There has never been a time or a place in all of human history wherein a black person had a better chance of succeeding. Yet our cities have been laid waste, our statues and monuments desecrated, our every organ of public discourse is in sackcloth and ashes, begging forgiveness to bigoted lowlife Marxist hate mongers for the imaginary sin of “systemic racism”.
Forcing a filthy mask on everyone’s face is power for the sake of power.
BECAUSE THEY CAN.
JWM
BRAVO,sir. Extremely good continuation of this from the gut video.
CAlif has been a Petri dish of every batsh*t Marxist vomitorium ideology.
Reaping the Progressive Whirlwind is the ugly reality,and reality always wins.
They’re putting the filthy masks on us because their far,far filthier masks have been ripped off.
And they are furious. Furious. Exposure is their greatest dread.
There will be more,much more exposure. Have faith.
