A Volcano That Could Completely Cover Mexico City With Volcanic Ash Just Erupted 200 Times In A 24 Hour Period

The most dangerous volcano in Mexico just erupted 200 times in a 24 hour period, but there has been an almost total blackout about this in the U.S. media.  Authorities are saying that the odds of more volcanic activity at Mt. Popocatepetl are “immediate to high”, and if a full-blown Plinian eruption were to occur it would be the worst natural disaster in the modern history of North America.  Approximately 26 million people live within 60 miles of Popocatepetl’s crater, and so we are talking about the potential for death and destruction on a scale that is difficult to imagine.  In ancient times, Mt. Popocatepetl buried entire Aztec cities in super-heated mud, but then it went to sleep for about 1,000 years.  Unfortunately for us, it started waking up again in the 1990s, and now this is the most active that we have seen it ever since the volcano originally reawakened.
What we have witnessed over the last several days has been nothing short of stunning.  According to a British news source, a level three yellow alert was put into effect after “200 eruptions were recorded in just 24 hours”…
Popocatépetl volcano, just 35 miles from Mexico City and 20 miles from Puebla sent ash and plumes of smoke more than 1.5 miles high. Mexico’s National Centre for Disaster Prevention (CENAPRED) has warned people to keep away from Popocatépetl after 200 eruptions were recorded in just 24 hours. A level three yellow alert has been issued meaning the chance of volcanic activity is immediate to high.
At this point a 7.5 mile “security radius” has been established around the volcano, and if things continue to get worse authorities will be forced to begin large scale evacuations.
Hopefully there will be enough warning before a Plinian eruption occurs, because several towns could be completely buried by super-heated mud traveling at 60 miles per hour…
While not every Plinian-sized eruption is alike in ferocity, all the volcanologists I spoke with provided grave details about Popo’s sure devastation. First, you would see 1,000-degree lahars and pyroclastic flows speeding down at 60 mph. Those flows would reach most, if not all, of the towns in the High Risk area, which today include Santiago Xalitzintla (population: 2,196), and San Pedro Benito Juarez (3,153), and Buenavista (814).
No human on the entire planet can run that fast.  If people are able to get to their vehicles in time they would have a chance, but in reality the highways would quickly become completely clogged as thousands of escaping vehicles all converged at the same time.
Mexico City would be out of range of the tsunami of super-heated mud, but the truth is that the volcanic ash would kill far more people.  Even just breathing in the volcanic ash could potentially be a death sentence…
The real threat, of course, begins after the lava halts. If the wind blew in Mexico City’s direction, a city-sized cloud of ash 20 centimeters thick would descend upon the buildings, dismantling roadways, shutting down airports and the Metro line. Breathing it in could kill you. And that’s just the first day. After that, seeping ash would clog Mexico City’s drainage lines, poisoning its water supplies, and ceasing electricity transmission via short-circuiting. With food supplies cut off, and no electricity, the dense metropolis would probably resemble something like the World Trade Center the night of September 11th, except with three times as many people attempting to flee. All under the veil of an ash-blackened sky.
Ultimately, we are talking about an event that would mean the end of the modern nation of Mexico as we know it today, and this is the most active that Mt. Popocatepetl has been in any of our lifetimes.
Are you starting to understand why I get so frustrated with the mainstream media?  What is happening to Mt. Popocatepetl should be front page news all over the county, and yet the mainstream media is almost completely ignoring it.
Meanwhile, a volcano in Washington state is starting to vent steam and gas.
I’ll bet you hadn’t heard about that either.
Mount Baker is 31 miles due east of Bellingham, Washington, and all throughout the month of March steam and gas have been pouring out of the volcano…
The state’s quartet of the potentially eruptive peaks are all part of the Cascade Mountain Range, and the northernmost is Mount Baker, which is located in Whatcom County, 31 miles east of Bellingham.
On March 4, the 10,781-foot-tall volcano began producing a number of steam plumes known as fumaroles. The expulsions have continued throughout the month since then and several have been highly visible from many miles away and widely captured in photographs and cell phone videos.
Those of you that are familiar with my work know that I am much more concerned about Mt. Rainier, and when that volcano starts venting steam and gas I am likely to really start freaking out.  But Mount Baker is a very serious threat too because of its “proximity to human population”…
Mount Baker last erupted in 1843, but in several recent publications, the U.S. Geological Survey has maintained that Washington state’s third-highest peak continues to present a serious threat due to the frequency of its eruptive history and the volcano’s proximity to human population.
We are seeing a rise in seismic activity all along the Ring of Fire, and as I have frequently warned, North America will not be immune from what is taking place.
The entire west coast lies directly along the Ring of Fire, and seismologists assure us that it is just a matter of time before we witness absolutely massive natural disasters.
And with all of the shaking that is currently going on, the truth is that time may be running out a lot more quickly than many of us had been anticipating…

County Fines Church $250 a Day for Operating Christian School for Underprivileged Kids

County Fines Church $250 a Day for Operating Christian School for Underprivileged Kids

COUNTY FINES CHURCH $250 A DAY FOR OPERATING CHRISTIAN SCHOOL FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED KIDS

A Florida church is suing its county after government officials forced it to obtain a special application to operate a Christian school, and then denied the church the permit.
The failed application cost more than $10,000. 
The federal lawsuit by Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Englewood Church of the Nazarene (known locally as Crosspoint Church) was filed March 25 against Sarasota County. It asserts the county’s action violates state and federal law, and the U.S. Constitution. 
“Under state law, any charter school may operate in a church building as of right without obtaining a special exception,” the lawsuit says. “At least two charter schools and one public school are currently operating in the residential, single-family zone without a special exception. But religious schools such as Englewood Christian must go through a costly special exception process to operate in a church building.”
The controversy began in 2013 when Englewood Church started Englewood Christian School, which focuses on children who have learning disabilities and come from underprivileged homes. It meets in the church’s building. 
More than three years later, the county ordered the church to obtain the special application, a process that involved hiring an engineer to draft a detailed “development concept plan” and holding a neighborhood workshop after providing written notice to local property owners, according to the suit. It cost more than $10,000 to complete. 
The county then denied the permit and began fining the church $250 a day if it continued to operate. To date, the penalties have totaled $40,000. 
“Crosspoint Church simply seeks to serve the community by providing a quality Christian education to children with learning disabilities and that come from underprivileged homes,” said ADF legal counsel Kyle McCutcheon. “Unfortunately, Sarasota County is blocking this valuable community service with arbitrary and expensive regulation. Worse still, the county would allow Englewood Church to host a secular charter school on its property but will not allow it to host a private Christian school that’s motivated by its convictions. The school’s students and their parents deserve continued access to the high-quality education they have already chosen -- without interference from Sarasota County.”
The Herald-Tribune newspaper reported the county denied the permit because it was concerned about granting an exemption for the property if the church moved out of the building. The county also wants to increase the amount of affordable housing in the area, the newspaper said. 
“It has nothing to do with the reverend or the good work he does,” commissioner Alan Maio told the Herald-Tribune. “... It’s the wrong place for it right now.”
The suit says the county’s actions violate the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection and its First Amendment protections of religious freedom. The county also is violating the federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, the suit says.
“Despite making every effort to work with the county and being forced to forgo thousands of dollars that could be better invested in serving their students, Crosspoint Church is now being told they must either stop educating children or pay severe fines,” said ADF legal counsel Christiana Holcomb. “Federal law is clear: The county’s discriminatory practices violate the law.”

Woman Writes ‘Satan Lives’ on Door of Two Churches as She Sets Them on Fire
A woman in Utah has been arrested after setting fire to two church buildings in Lindon, Utah.
According to the Daily Herald, Jillian Nicole Robinson, 18, has been charged with a second-degree felony of arson and a third-degree felony of burglary. Police are also investigating her for criminal mischief and possession of burglary tools.
Robinson caused some $600,000 in damage Friday morning after setting fire to two buildings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Robinson had also written “Satan Lives” in permanent marker on one of the doors, according to the police report.
“Once inside, you didn’t have to be a detective or arson investigator to tell that these fires had been intentionally set by someone,” a Facebook post from the police department said.
Police began to patrol the area and nearby churches and saw Robinson at another church building. She had again written “Satan Lives” on another door.
Officers found Robinson had “in her possession a bottle which smelled of gas and a lighter and matches… a black Sharpie brand marker, screwdriver, and a drill with drill bits.”
Robinson later confessed to the fires.
“I was angry and all I wanted to do was set a small fire and it got out of control. I fled the scene and didn’t look back,” she reportedly wrote on the statement. “I felt like playing with fire because of
