SIX VOLCANOES READY TO SHUT DOWN THE WORLD
July 28 2010
Washington, D.C. – Thousands of people stranded from their families, air traffic grounded, millions of dollars going down the drain and absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. The eruptions at the Icelandic glacier Eyjafjallajökull have highlighted for
many the sheer power of the Earth to continue to dominate humanity. Like the earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, and China earlier this year, the eruptions have shown that despite all our advances, despite all our sophistication, Mother Nature is still very much in charge and is more than ready to remind us of that fact.
While the eruptions in Iceland have had most social and economic effects, not having killed anyone, they are a reminder of the fearsome potential of volcanoes to wreak destruction on the human species. Now researchers across the world have issued a grave warning, noting that there are many volcanoes across the globe with far more destructive potential and all of them seem primed to blow, potentially shutting down the entire and threatening the continued existence of the human species. While they gave no firm start date for the beginning of the apocalypse, they did assure that once it began there would be no stopping it and no technological advances would help preserve humanity once the cascade of destruction begins.
“There are six major volcanoes that could unleash massive destruction and because 
they are placed strategically throughout the world, they would create a chain of destruction that would bring about the end of everything. Katla in Iceland, Cumbre Vieja in the Canary Islands, Mt. Vesuvius in Italy, Popocatepetl in Mexico, Mt. Tambora in Indionesia, and Yellowstone in the United States are the volcanoes most likely to form together to destroy all of us,” said Volcanologist Dr. Henry Webb of Georgetown University. “Unto themselves anyone of these fissures would be devastating and cause problems all around the world but combined they will bring about the end of everything we have built and exterminate almost every living thing on the planet. We have no evidence that they are working together as yet, but we expect that that will happen in very short order.”
The ringleader is widely believed to be Yellowstone, a so-called ‘Super Volcano’, which has not erupted in 640,000 years.
“The thing about volcanoes is that they are extremely unpredictable. We can on 
occasion see the evidence of an impending eruption but that is not always the case. Volcanoes can go from dormant to erupting in a matter of hours, from what we are able to ascertain, which can mean total devastation,” continued Webb. “Not that it would matter in this case. If this chain of volcanoes does erupt, there will be nowhere to run. The only thing that an advanced warning would allow for would be time to make amends with loved ones and pray, do a lot of praying and hope that God will forgive your sins. When this happens it is the end of everything and because we don’t know when it is happening it would be best to come to terms with things now.”
The last time a Super Volcano erupted was about 70,000 years ago in Indonesia. That eruption put the world into a nuclear winter and nearly eradicated early humans.
“Frankly, people should start making preparations now. They should accumulate food and weapons in case death doesn’t come immediately and should start coming to terms with the reality of the end of their existence. There is no over stating how destructive this will be. This is the end,” said Scrape TV Apocalypse analyst Seth Morris. “Go to your priest, your Imam, pray for forgiveness. Forgive everyone who wronged you, quit your crappy job. This is the end of everything. Go, go, go.”
Bacterial life is expected to live alongside some small insects though plant life and complex animals will likely be totally eradicated in the wake of the destructive eruptions.
