Earth is fighting to stay alive. Mass dieoffs, triggered by anthropogenic assault and fallout of planetary defense systems offsetting the impact, could begin anytime!

WordPress is HACKING this blog!
WordPress continues to hack FIRE-EARTH & affiliated blogs at the behest of its corporate clients.
Blog Moderators condemn in the strongest terms the blatant removal and manipulation of content.
Starting January 29, 2013, Google & WordPress have restricted access to FIRE-EARTH reducing blog traffic by up to 95 percent, enabling their affiliated sites and commercial partners to hijack (and twist) the news, analysis and core ideas presented here.
Blocking information, hacking websites and twisting the facts concerning harm inflicted to Earth by humans are major crimes against nature, punishable by drought, famine, disease...
Caution
Technical information and scientific data from the US Government agencies (NASA, EPA…) are subject to variation due to political expediency.
This caution also extends to the UN organizations (e.g., FAO, WHO…).
As of August 2011, FIRE-EARTH will no longer reprint photos from NASA, due to the agency's wanton crimes against nature.

At 06:00 UTC (12:00 AM CST) TS Ida was located about 150 km (95 miles) south-southwest of Mobile Alabama.
Dangerous storm tide created by Ida will raise water levels by up to 1.5 meter ( 5 feet) above ground along the coast near and to the East of where storm center makes landfall, as well as in areas of onshore flow in southeastern Louisiana, NOAA NHC said. The surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves near the coast.
Summary of TS Ida Status:
As of 06:00 UTC Tue Nov 10 (12:00 AM CST)
Location: 29.5°N 88.8°W
Max sustained winds : 96 km/h (60 mph)
Moving: N (360 degrees) at 16 km/h (10 mph)
Min pressure: 29.47 inches (998 mb)
What are the chances of Ida Coming Back?
What’s the probability of Ida doing a U-Turn, restrengthening into a hurricane-force storm for a third time, and slamming into the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, again?
FEWW Moderators believe there’s a 1 in 5 chance [P=0.2] that remnants of Idea could be pinwheeled back into the Gulf of Mexico by a slowly developing system to the east, moving NNW and striking the coast of Louisiana, and further to the west, with renewed intensity.

500 Million1.1 Billion Gallons of Coal Sludge Destroys Tennessee Homes
TVA spill is over 40 times bigger than the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska
Sent by Bonnie Swinford [Mountain Justice]
The Tennessee Valley Authority, better known as TVA, has a coal-burning power plant located near Harriman, Tennessee, along Interstate 40 between Knoxville and Nashville. On Monday, December 22 around 1:00 a.m. residences living near the Kingston coal plant were flooded with approximately 500 million gallons of nasty black coal waste. It covered 400 acres of land up to 6 feet and flooded into tributaries of the Tennessee River – the water supply for Chattanooga TN and millions of people living downstream in Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky.

The coal ash, slurry or sludge is a byproduct left over after TVA burns their coal and they have a huge mountain of this coal waste material stored in a gigantic pile next to their Kingston power plant, alongside the tributary of the Tennessee River. Coal ash contains mercury and dangerous heavy metals like lead and arsenic, among many other potentially toxic and radioactive contaminates. Materials found naturally in coal are concentrated in the ash and more toxic than they start.
This Tennessee TVA spill is over 40 times bigger than the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska. This is a huge environmental disaster of epic proportions.

Date: December 23, 2008
United Mountain Defense has been at the site of the spill sharing information about the extremely serious threats to human health and the environment. We have been going door to door passing out information about the chemicals that may be present in impacted drinking water. TVA is advising families to boil water however they are not informing anyone about the reasons for needing to boil the water or sharing any chemicals that may be present in their water.

TVA has reported that preliminary water test show that the drinking water at the nearby water treatment facility meets standards, but lots of community members have well water or depend on water being pumped from a spring located in the flooded area.
There is also still the potential for more sludge to enter the water supply thorough waste runoff.
TVA says the area is not toxic but you can see coal sludge in the water and dead fish on the banks. The members of this community are without clean water and many without electricity or gas heat. We met people who were given motel rooms by TVA and others on the same street that have been without heat for days in 27° (F) weather and others who have been vomiting for more than 12 hours after drinking the water.
Aerial Footage of Retaining Wall Failure (Footage from TVA website)
We visited approximately 40 households and many people were frustrated they had not received any information other than what they could figure out from the minute long television segments or an isolated phone call from the water or gas utility. Residents say that they are not surprised by the flood because TVA has been fixing leaks in the retention wall for years and one person said this wall had been leaking for months before it broke.
TVA Coal Ash Disaster Dec 22 2008
United Mountain Defense is actively creating a plan of action to deal with this issue. We plan to spend as much time as possible in Harriman meeting people, taking photos and video, gathering water samples, passing out information and reporting what we learn.
Please check our news blog on this site for updates and to learn more about our TVA Santa Protests that occurred throughout December.
We greatly appreciate all support and suggestion for dealing with this massive disaster can be sent to umdvolunteerhouse@yahoo.com
If you are able to test water samples for heavy metals or other specialized water testing please let us know.
We will not stand by as safety and environmental compliance taken a back seat to megawatt production.
Feel free to send checks for copies, paper, gas and general support funds to United Mountain Defense P.O. Box 20363 Knoxville, TN 37920 Please mark check: “For TVA Spill”
We demand the following from TVA
TVA provides clean drinking water to all residents with water affected by the coal ash spill, indefinitely.
TVA and the State of Tennessee hold multiple public hearings and investigate the bursting coal ash dam.
TVA and the State of Tennessee identifies the locations of all the coal ash, what toxins exist in the coal ash, and how it will be cleaned up and safely disposed of in landfills with liners.
TVA provides public disclosure of all existing coal ash ponds and makes sure each pond receives a current inspection by the state of Tennessee. TVA upgrades all coal ash ponds to include safety liners.
TVA installs a warning system and provides education for all residents likely to be impacted by any problems with other ash ponds.
TVA completely cleans up and restores the affected properties and water ways.
TVA pays restitution for human suffering involved in the ash pond failure.
TVA establishes a citizen advisory board with voting power for all of its operations.
TVA stops burning any coal from surface mines and Mountain Top Removal coal mines.
TVA cuts their emissions of mercury, heavy metals, hydrochloric acid, and sulfuric acid to zero pounds per year.
TVA agrees to not mine for coal in Royal Blue Wildlife Management Area.
Feel free to contact TVA and forward this list of demands. Make sure to be polite.
