The victims of the tsunami pay the price of war on Iraq

US and British aid is dwarfed by the billions both spend on slaughter

By George Monbiot

Over the past few months, reviewing the complete lack of public interest in what is happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the failure, in the west, to mobilise effective protests against the continuing atrocities in Iraq, I had begun to wonder whether we had lost our ability to stand in other people's shoes. I have now stopped wondering.

Tsunamis and a Nuclear Threat

Russians confirm planetary angular momentum theory

The earth has entered a seismically active period when weakness in earth’s crusts start breaking apart, volcanoes erupt, plate collisions cause major earthquakes, mud volcanoes erupt and geysers come out in different parts of the world with much higher frequency. This results in volcanic eruption, mudslides, Tsunamis, mega earthquakes and more.

According to the Russian scientists, the number of earthquakes in the earth has increased exponentially over the past few years, a phenomenon not seen in modern human history.

According thousands of years old Mayan civilization, this kind of period come after thousands of years. The ancient civilization warned that around 2012 the world would face major calamities from natural disasters and other factors. They used planetary positions and interferences as well as sun signs.

Sea Change

Crossing the Indian Ocean at speeds over 500 mph, the tsunamis from the Dec. 26, 2004 Sumatra quake carried death and destruction all the way to Africa, 4,000 miles away. Centered six miles under the Indian Ocean’s seabed 155 miles southeast of Sumatra, the 9.0 quake rang the Earth’s core, leading to fresh concerns of imminent polar reversals.

The last time this area shook in 1883, 120-foot-high tidal waves snuffed 36,000 lives as ash reached a height of 50 miles, blocking the sun and plunging the surrounding region into darkness lasting nearly three days. Global temperatures dipped 1.2 degree C, and did not return to normal until 1888. Krakaota’s 535 eruption caused a lingering “global winter” that killed crops and unleashed bubonic plague, derailing civilizations. We were lucky the Sumatra supervolcano didn’t blow again. But if left unchecked, humanity’s volcanic carbon burning will ensure similar catastrophe within decades.

There was no warning.

Around 9 o’clock on a paradisiacal Sri Lankan beach, 5-year-old Adil was making sandcastles with his younger sister, Reeze when the girl ran complaining to her mother Haalima that waves had crushed their creations. The ocean followed Reeze home. “When we looked, there was no shore anymore and no Adil,” Haalima said.

Elephants saved tourists from tsunami

03 January 2005

KHAO LAK: Agitated elephants felt the tsunami coming, and their sensitivity saved about a dozen foreign tourists from the fate of thousands killed by the giant waves.

"I was surprised because the elephants had never cried before," mahout Dang Salangam said on Sunday on Khao Lak beach of the eight-elephant business offering rides to tourists.

The elephants started trumpeting - in a way Dang, 36, and his wife Kulada, 24, said could only be described as crying - at first light, about the time an earthquake measured at a magnitude of 9.0 cracked open the sea bed off Indonesia's Sumatra island.

The elephants soon calmed down. But they started wailing again about an hour later and this time they could not be comforted despite attempts at reassurance.

"The elephants didn't believe the mahouts. They just kept running for the hill," said Wit Aniwat, 24, who takes the money from tourists and helps them on to the back of elephants from a sturdy wooden platform.

Those with tourists aboard headed for the jungle-clad hill behind the resort beach where at least 3800 people, more than half of them foreigners, would soon be killed. The elephants that were not working broke their hefty chains.

"Then we saw the big wave coming and we started running," Wit said.

Around a dozen tourists were also running towards the hill from the Khao Lak Merlin Resort, one of a line of hotels strung along the 10km beach especially popular with Scandinavians and Germans.

"The mahouts managed to turn the elephants to lift the tourists onto their backs," Kulada said.

She used her hands to describe how the huge beasts used their trunks to pluck the foreigners from the ground and deposit them on their backs.

The elephants charged up the hill through the jungle, then stopped.

The tsunami drove up to 1km inshore from the gently sloping beach which had been so safe for children it made Khao Lak an ideal place for a family holiday. But it stopped short of where the elephants stood.

On Sunday, the elephants were back at work giving rides to the tourists on whom the area depends.

German Ewald Heeg, who said he came from a small town near Frankfurt, said his charter company had offered his family - wife, two daughters and one of their boyfriends - the chance to go straight home, but he had turned it down.

"Our family is OK so we stay here to make our holiday," he said.

"Today, we make a safari. We go by elephants at first, then we make a boat trip.
