Radiation Spike – Was Yesterday’s “Earthquake” actually an Underwater Nuke Blast?

After yesterday’s offshore “earthquake,” there is presently a significant Radiation Spike in San Diego, CA, which is now showing 600 Counts-Per-Minute (CPM) of Gamma Radiation in the 800 KeV range; about triple of everywhere else in California.

This reading comes from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Radiation Monitor Network, as being presently reported by the private sector website Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center (NETC).

Here is the reading coming from the radiation monitor network:.

Here is the extended Graph of Radiation Readings from this same station over time:

The reason this is peculiar, has to do with yesterday’s offsshore, Magnitude 7.0 earthquake, 647 miles farther north, off the shore of Mendocino, CA.

That earthquake took place where you see the large red circle offshore in the ocean on this map from yesterday’s United States Geologic Survey (USGS) website:

That “earthquake” has an interesting, and curious “Waveform” on seismic monitors.   Here is what the waveform looked like; focus on the bright red lines on the bottom right seismic scale image – notice they don’t gradually build-up to the main quake, they just “explode:”

A number of observers have mentioned that this waveform bears more resemblance to that of an explosion than to an earthquake.  The sudden, and massive surge of seismic waves is *NOT* what one typically sees when a large earthquake takes place.  Usually, there is a small, but visible build-up to the main quake.

On social media, some people actually said this was a nuclear blast off the US Coast.  Here is one such claim:

Which brings us back to the radiation reading off San Diego, 647 miles or so to the SOUTH of the earthquake location.  If this radiation spike had anything to do with the earthquake, why are readings elsewhere in California “normal?”

It ____may___ have to do with the “North Pacific Current.”  In fact, it makes PERFECT sense.

The image below, from Wikipedia, shows the generalized flow of the North Pacific Current as it approaches the continent of north America :

Yesterday’s “earthquake” took place off Mendocino, right about where the farthest left blue line of the North Pacific Current is flowing!  That current moves . . . . south.

But more importantly, look what happens to that current when it reaches the “bight” of southern California: the current SPLITS.   The main current continues south into Mexican waters but the split loops back north right around . . .  San Diego!

If the “earthquake” was a nuclear detonation, the North Pacific Current, through its “Southern California Eddy”  Which in Winter is called the “Southern California Countercurrent” would bring the radiation into the California coastline, right around . . . . . . . . San Diego.

And THAT is where we are seeing a significant radiation spike today.  Right where the north Pacific Current would bring what was deep water up by Mendocino, into the shoreline area!

HMMMMMMMM.

We need someone with a Radiation Detector, to head out onto the beach at San DIego, and grab a reading of the radiation level — especially near the water.

Maybe this Radiation spike in San Diego is . . . . happenstance.

Maybe it isn’t.

MM COMMENTS

You guys know that when I think about a underwater nuclear explosion, I think in terms of a huge tsunami wave hitting the shore and devastating the homes and buildings there.

But maybe…

Maybe…

The purpose of this “explosion” (if it was nuclear, wink, wink) was to coat the entire Western (populated) United States with radioactivity.

Thank about that for a minute.

Now, let’s see what MoA has to say about something that has happened within the last day or two…

U.S. Has Stopped Ukrainian ATACMS Strikes On Russia

As further ATACMS strikes on Russia seem to have stopped this timeline is of interest.

November 18:

U.S. allows Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles against targets within Russia:

The reversal of policy, nearly 1,000 days since Russia started its full-scale invasion on Ukraine, comes largely in response to Russia’s deployment of North Korean troops to supplement its forces, a development that has caused alarm in Washington and Kyiv, a U.S. official and a source familiar with the decision told Reuters.

November 19 and November 20/21:

Ukraine hits an ammunition depot in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast, far from any relevant frontline, as well as military facilities in Russia’s Kursk oblast:

On November 19, six ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles produced by the United States, and on November 21, during a combined missile assault involving British Storm Shadow systems and HIMARS systems produced by the US, attacked military facilities inside the Russian Federation in the Bryansk and Kursk regions.
…
The fire at the ammunition depot in the Bryansk Region, caused by the debris of ATACMS missiles, was extinguished without casualties or significant damage. In the Kursk Region, the attack targeted one of the command posts of our group North. Regrettably, the attack and the subsequent air defence battle resulted in casualties, both fatalities and injuries, among the perimeter security units and servicing staff.

November 21:

Russia fires a new missile with hypersonic kinetic warheads at a military industrial complex in Dnipro:

In response to the deployment of American and British long-range weapons, on November 21, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a combined strike on a facility within Ukraine’s defence industrial complex. In field conditions, we also carried out tests of one of Russia’s latest medium-range missile systems – in this case, carrying a non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile that our engineers named Oreshnik. The tests were successful, achieving the intended objective of the launch. In the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, one of the largest and most famous industrial complexes from the Soviet Union era, which continues to produce missiles and other armaments, was hit.

November 23 and 25:

Ukraine continues with ATACMS strikes against targets within Russia:

On 23 November, the enemy fired five U.S.-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles at a position of an S-400 anti-aircraft battalion near Lotarevka (37 kilometres north-west of Kursk).During a surface-to-air battle, a Pantsir AAMG crew protecting the battalion destroyed three ATACMS missiles, and two hit their intended targets.

As a result of the strike, a radar was damaged. There are casualties among personnel.

On 25 November, the Kiev regime delivered one more strike by eight ATACMS operational-tactical missiles at the Kursk-Vostochny airfield (near Khalino). Seven missile were shot down by S-400 SAM and Pantsir AAMG systems, one missile hit the assigned target. Two servicemen were lightly wounded and infrastructure objects sustained minor damage by missile debris.

After investigating the attacked sites it was confirmed that the AFU delivered strikes by U.S.-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles.

November 27:

The Russian Gen. Valery Gerasimov has a phone call with Gen. CQ Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

Gen. Valery Gerasimov initiated last Wednesday’s call with Gen. CQ Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to provide him with that warning and to also discuss Ukraine and how to avoid miscalculation between the U.S. and Russia about that ongoing conflict.

November 28:

Putin announces the response to the November 23/25 strikes:

Last night, we conducted a comprehensive strike utilising 90 missiles of these classes and 100 drones, successfully hitting 17 targets. These included military installations, defence industry sites, and their support infrastructure. I want to emphasise once again that these strikes were carried out in response to the continued attacks on Russian territory using American ATACMS missiles. As I have repeatedly stated, such actions will always elicit a response.

It seems that Russia’s message has finally reached its recipient.

December 5/6:

In another strike on Russia Ukraine has used fix wing UAVs but no ATACMS:

Last night, the Russian Armed Forces have foiled another attempt by the Kiev regime to launch a terrorist attack using a fixed-wing UAV against the facilities in the Russian Federation.Thirty three Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted by alerted air defence systems over Kursk region. Fourteen UAVs were shot down over the territory of Voronezh region, eleven over Kursk region, seven over Belgorod region, and one over the Crimean Republic.

Moreover, the naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet destroyed two uncrewed surface vehicles moving to the Crimean peninsula in waters of the Black Sea.

Since Gerasimov’s phone call (and Putin’s speech) there have been NO reports of any further ATACMS (or Storm Shadow) strikes on Russia!

During his announcement of the latest strikes Putin also described the effects of the hypersonic missile strike:

The system deploys dozens of homing warheads that strike the target at a velocity of Mach 10, equivalent to approximately three kilometres per second. The temperature of the impact elements reaches 4,000 degrees Celsius – nearing the surface temperature of the sun, which is around 5,500–6,000 degrees.Consequently, everything within the explosion’s epicentre is reduced to fractions, elementary particles, essentially turning to dust. The missile is capable of destroying even heavily fortified structures and those located at significant depths.

During several interviews in recent days MIT Prof. Ted Postol disagreed (vid) with Putin’s claim. Postol describes the Oreshnik impacts as shallow surface explosions with the force of about 1.5 times the weight equivalent in TNT explosives. With an estimated warhead weight of 100 kilogram the impact of each of the Oreshnik’s 36 warheads would be no bigger than a regular small bomb. This would make them mostly useless against anything but large area surface targets.

I am doubtful that Postol got this right:

• Putin is usually extraordinary well informed and not in the habit of making false claims. If he states that Oreshnik warheads have deep penetration capabilities then they are likely to have these.
• It would make little to no sense for the Russian’s to demonstrate the Oreshnik on hardened targets, as the bunkers of the Yuzhmash machine plant are, if it does not have significant effects on these. It would be a bluff that could and would be immediately called by the Pentagon specialist inspecting the localities and observing the effects.
• The U.S. is taking the strike seriously. It has reacted by stopping support for further Ukrainian ATACMS strikes on Russia.

Weapon experts like Postol have little experience with hypersonic projectiles which impact at 10 times the speed of sound. I believe that his assessment is sincere. He also applies the necessary caveats. But I doubt that he, like most other experts, has sufficient experience with the effects of dart like hypersonic projectiles to further back up his claims.

I thus recommend, if only out of abundance of caution, to assume that the Russian claims of bunker busting capabilities of Oreshnik missiles are very real.

A final MM Comment for today

An increase in radiation on the Western United States would have devastating effects on the American population. Here’s what the Chinese AI DeepSeek has to say about what is happening…

…

The effects of nuclear radiation on the population, particularly if it were carried to the coast of California, would be severe and multifaceted, both in the short term and long term. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Short-Term Effects (Immediate to Weeks After Exposure)

1. Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS):

– Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, hair loss, and skin burns.

– Severity: Depends on the dose of radiation received. High doses can lead to death within days to weeks.

2. Injury from Blast and Heat:

– Blast: Severe injuries from the explosion, including trauma, burns, and lung damage.

– Heat: Burns from the thermal pulse, which can cause severe skin damage.

3. Radiation Sickness:

– Symptoms: Similar to ARS but less severe. Includes gastrointestinal distress, immune suppression, and potential organ damage.

4. Contamination:

– External: Radioactive particles on the skin and clothing.

– Internal: Ingestion or inhalation of radioactive material, leading to internal radiation exposure.

5. Psychological Impact:

– Trauma: Shock, fear, anxiety, and panic among the population.

Long-Term Effects (Months to Years After Exposure)

1. Cancer:

– Increased Risk: Radiation exposure significantly increases the risk of various cancers, including leukemia, thyroid cancer, and solid tumors.

– Latency Period: Cancer may develop years or even decades after exposure.

2. Genetic Mutations:

– Inherited Disorders: Radiation can cause mutations in reproductive cells, leading to genetic disorders in future generations.

3. Chronic Health Issues:

– Immune System Suppression: Long-term suppression of the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections.

– Endocrine Disorders: Potential disruption of endocrine functions, leading to hormonal imbalances.

4. Environmental and Economic Impact:

– Contaminated Land: Long-term contamination of soil, water, and air, affecting agriculture and water supplies.

– Economic Disruption: Loss of infrastructure, economic activity, and potential displacement of populations.

Effects on Individuals with Compromised Immune Systems

1. Increased Susceptibility to Infections:

– Vulnerability: Individuals with compromised immune systems are more susceptible to infections, which can be exacerbated by radiation-induced immune suppression.

2. Severe Radiation Sickness:

– Greater Severity: The symptoms of radiation sickness may be more severe and prolonged in individuals with weakened immune systems.

3. Higher Mortality Rate:

– Risk of Death: The combination of radiation exposure and a compromised immune system can significantly increase the risk of mortality.

4. Delayed Recovery:

– Slow Healing: Recovery from radiation-induced injuries may be slower and more complicated in individuals with compromised immune systems.

Mitigation and Response

1. Shelter-in-Place:

– Immediate Shelter: Seeking immediate shelter in buildings with thick walls to reduce exposure.

2. Evacuation:

– Safe Zones: Evacuation to areas deemed safe from radiation exposure.

3. Medical Interventions:

– Treatment: Administration of potassium iodide to protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine.

– Supportive Care: Symptomatic treatment for radiation sickness and other injuries.

4. Decontamination:

– Removal of Contaminants: Removing radioactive particles from skin, clothing, and surroundings to reduce further exposure.

5. Long-Term Monitoring:

– Health Surveillance: Ongoing medical monitoring and support for those affected by radiation exposure.

In summary, the impact of nuclear radiation on the population, especially those with compromised immune systems, would be profound and long-lasting, necessitating comprehensive and coordinated responses from medical, governmental, and humanitarian agencies.

Final Final Comment

It appears that the Deagal Report might just be realized when Americans are being assaulted by a thousand “paper cuts”.

And DeepSeek AI explains…

…

The idiom “death by a thousand papercuts” is used to describe a situation where a person or entity is slowly worn down or defeated by a large number of small, seemingly insignificant problems or annoyances, rather than by one major issue. Each individual problem might not be severe on its own, but the cumulative effect of dealing with many such problems can be overwhelming and debilitating.

Examples of Usage:

1. Workplace Stress:

– An employee might feel overwhelmed by constant minor interruptions, small tasks, and bureaucratic hurdles, all of which individually are manageable but collectively create significant stress and inefficiency.

2. Customer Service:

– A company might lose customers not because of one major failure, but because of numerous small inconveniences, such as slow response times, minor errors in orders, and inconsistent communication.

3. Health Issues:

– A person might experience declining health not from one major illness, but from a series of minor ailments that, when combined, significantly impact their quality of life.

4. Financial Strain:

– A family might face financial difficulties not from one large expense, but from a multitude of small, recurring costs that add up over time, such as unexpected repairs, minor medical bills, and regular subscription fees.

Key Points:

– Cumulative Effect: The idiom emphasizes the cumulative impact of many small issues, which can be just as damaging as a single large problem.

– Gradual Degradation: It highlights the gradual and often unnoticed deterioration of a situation or condition.

– Overwhelming Burden: The sheer number of small problems can create an overwhelming burden, making it difficult to address each one individually.

In essence, “death by a thousand papercuts” underscores the idea that the sum of many small issues can be just as detrimental as a single large one, and it often describes situations where the impact is felt more acutely over time.
