Guest Post by Michael Snyder
All of a sudden, the giant rock that we all live on is starting to go a bit nuts. Unusual volcanic activity is happening all over the globe, but the “experts” are assuring us that there is nothing to be concerned about. But could it be possible that they are wrong? After you have reviewed the information that I provide in this article, come to your own conclusion. To me, it definitely appears that what we are currently witnessing is not normal.
Right now, volcanic activity is causing a brand new island to emerge from the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of Japan’s Iwo Jima island…
A newborn island that recently emerged from the Pacific Ocean after an underwater volcanic eruption is now visible from space, images from the European Space Agency (ESA) reveal. The satellite images show the new landmass sitting around 0.6 mile (1 kilometer) off the coast off Japan’s Iwo Jima island.
The submerged volcano began erupting on Oct. 21, with activity ramping up over the next 10 days. By Oct. 30, explosions were taking place every few minutes, according to a translated statement. The eruption threw large lumps of rock into the air, and shot a jet of gas and ash over 160 feet (50 meters) almost vertically above the water’s surface.
Needless to say, a new island is not born very often.
I have been warning my readers about the alarming rise of volcanic activity in our oceans, and this is yet more evidence that something really strange is taking place down there.
Let’s keep a very close eye on Mt. Fuji in 2024 and beyond, because when it finally blows it is going to cause death and destruction on an absolutely massive scale.
Meanwhile, in Iceland residents of the town of Grindavík are being evacuated because thousands of earthquakes have “raised concerns that a volcanic eruption may be imminent”…
Some residents of the southwestern Iceland town of Grindavík were allowed to briefly return home Sunday to quickly gather essential belongings and pets left behind when evacuations were ordered amid thousands of earthquakes that have rattled the region and raised concerns that a volcanic eruption may be imminent.
Iceland’s government declared a state of emergency and began the mass evacuation of Grindavík on Friday.
Overall, that region has been hit by more than 4,000 earthquakes in recent days, and at least 1,000 of those quakes were actually “recorded within the magma tunnel”…
The Icelandic Met Office (IMO) has been providing continuous updates on the potential disaster and said that based on observations, there is a “significant likelihood” of a volcanic eruption in the coming days.
More than 4,000 earthquakes have struck the region over the past two days, and the IMO said that since midnight on Sunday, 1,000 earthquakes were recorded within the magma tunnel, or dike, that formed at the end of last week.
Here in the United States, Mount St. Helens has been rattled by 400 earthquakes since the middle of July…
400 earthquakes have been recorded under Mount St. Helens since mid-July, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).
This is the longest series of tremors since the volcano’s last eruption ended in 2008.
We are being told that “magma has been flowing through chambers deep underground” as the volcano recharges…
Specialized equipment has detected that magma has been flowing through chambers deep underground, causing the volcano to recharge.
There are fears the earthquakes could lead to another massive explosion reminiscent of 1980s eruption that left 57 people dead and permanently altered the area’s ecosystem.
I do believe that Mount St. Helens will erupt again.
But as my regular readers already know, I am even more concerned about Mt. Rainier.
On the other side of the world, seismic activity has been regularly shaking an absolutely massive supervolcano known as Campi Flegrei…
It is now the site of multiple volcanoes that have been active for 39,000 years, many of which lie underwater. It’s also populated with villas, small villages and shopping malls and home to 800,000 people and a hospital under construction. More than 500,000 of the locals live in what Italy’s civil protection agency has deemed a “red zone,” an area encompassing 18 towns that’s at highest risk in the event of an eruption. An additional 3 million residents of Naples live immediately outside the eastern edge of the caldera, according to the civil protection agency.
The last major eruption of Campi Flegrei was in 1538, and it created a new mountain in the bay. Seismic activity in the area has been intensifying since December of 2022, according to Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), and experts fear that the volcano could be reawakening after generations at rest.
So far this year, Campi Flegrei has been hit by more than 3,400 earthquakes, and this has generated quite a bit of alarm…
Currently in a state of positive bradyseism, when the ground moves upward, the entire volcanic zone is also experiencing a surge in earthquakes that has rattled nerves and sent residents seeking safety out into the streets. In September, the strongest earthquake in 40 years struck the region, and that 4.2 magnitude quake was followed by one of a similar strength just days later.
So far in 2023 Campi Flegrei has recorded more than 3,450 earthquakes, 1,118 of which occurred in August alone. This is more than triple the previous year’s total, according to INGV’s data. More than 500 earthquakes occurred in October, the strongest of which hit 4.0 magnitude, followed by a dozen aftershocks.
All of this seismic activity has been happening at a time when the giant ball of fire that our planet revolves around has been extremely active.
In fact, a large coronal mass ejection that was just unleashed hit us this weekend…
That’s because the sun has unleashed an enormous coronal mass ejection (CME) which is set to hit the Earth this weekend, sparking a geomagnetic storm between Saturday and Sunday.
This will fling charged particles into our planet which will interact with oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere to emit green and red colours over our poles.
The Met Office’s Space Weather arm said Aurora borealis would likely be visible across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and even ‘as far south as central England and Wales’ if skies are clear.
Scientific “experts” are going to just keep telling you that nothing unusual is happening at all.
And people like me are going to just keep telling you that cataclysmic times are now upon us.
So who is right and who is wrong?
As is the case with so many other things, time will reveal the truth…
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

Just seems that way because the news is reporting constantly it with the 24 hour news cycle to fill. Nothing strange or unusual is really going on. There are volcanoes popping off all the time but most are in far away and distant places with low or no population near by (mid atlantic ridge, ring of fire ). Two of the three listed in the article are in heavily populated and heavily monitored places. Japan is situated on the ring of fire and is constantly prone to volcanic mayhem.
What about the Yellowstone Caldera ?
Has there been any increase in activity ?
I believe that volcanic activity and solar activity along with planetary and lunar alignments all have a significant relationship .
The point is the Yellowstone has the potential to do the most damage to the US and it’s time Line was 300,000 years between major events and it’s late now for a big BLOW UP
Stock up on non perishable food and other necessities because if Yellowstone has a major event we are looking at devastation from the Rockies to the Appalachian mountains and from Canada to the Gulf Of Mexico !
That’s right a Mother Nature shit storm cutting the continent in half and ash clouds that if you breath will be like breathing in micro razor blades as you drown on your own blood suffocating !
Been reading about this shit for a long time and Mother Nature has her timeline and humanities well being is not in the equation
Far more likely to be struck by lightning then to be killed in a Yellowstone super eruption by several orders of magnitude. You can’t spend your entire life hiding inside for fear of lightning. Conversely, if Yellowstone was about to pop what could humanity to to stop it…nothing! I don’t sweat this shit.
It could be mitigated by draining Yellowstone Lake before it erupts…but they won’t.
For more likely to be gored by a buffalo than killed by lightning in Jellystone.
[Or have a rogue bear steal your pic-a-nic basket]
I live just north of Yellowstone and we never even think about….we worry about grizzly bears, moose cows stomping you to death, the odd tweaker or California immigrant……but not Yellowstone going off.
New Madrid fault is probably more of a threat.
I wonder if anyone has compared volcanic activity through history to the relative solar cycles?
I know Firstenberg connected solar cycles to classical infkuenza, and then the new annual flu cycle showed up after the invention and transmission of electricity in 1889.
So, if anyone knows if such research….where historic volcanism has been compared to the known solar cycles..
God’s DEW is the sun!

Abstract
The historical record of large volcanic eruptions from 1500 to 1980, as contained in two recent eruption catalogs, is subjected to detailed time series analysis. Two weak, but probably statistically significant, periodicities of ∼11 and ∼80 years are detected. Both cycles appear to correlate with well-known cycles of solar activity; the phasing is such that the frequency of volcanic eruptions increases (decreases) slightly around the times of solar minimum (maximum). The weak quasi-biennial solar cycle is not obviously seen in the eruption data, nor are the two slow lunar tidal cycles of 8.85 and 18.6 years. Time series analysis of the volcanogenic acidities in a deep ice core from Greenland, covering the years 553–1972, reveals several very long periods that range from ∼80 to ∼350 years and are similar to the very slow solar cycles previously detected in auroral and carbon 14 records. Mechanisms to explain the Sun-volcano link probably involve induced changes in the basic state of the atmosphere. Solar flares are believed to cause changes in atmospheric circulation patterns that abruptly alter the Earth’s spin. The resulting jolt probably triggers small earthquakes which may temporarily relieve some of the stress in volcanic magma chambers, thereby weakening, postponing, or even aborting imminent large eruptions. In addition, decreased atmospheric precipitation around the years of solar maximum may cause a relative deficit of phreatomagmatic eruptions at those times.

Abstract
Strong solar flares cause atmospheric circulation changes (or alternatively changes in the mass and temperature distribution) at middle and high latitudes, starting less than 12 h after the solar eruption. This early effect lasts approximately one day, is strongest in winter and most pronounced at certain geographical locations. Delayed effects are reported having a maximum 2 to 4 days after a flare. In general, the connection between these effects is insufficiently known. This also applies to the possible role of solar flares in solar-climatic relationships. The observed early effect in the troposphere is plausibly explained by strong convergence of air over large areas in the lower stratosphere. However, a mechanism causing this convergence is still unknown. The early effect itself by changing the baroclinic stability in the mid-latitude troposphere could lead to some of the observed delayed effects.

The headline suggests that the reason volcanic activity is increasing will be revealed in the article but it isn’t. I recommend
See the comment section.
Might see something new here..
That’s just the Earth shitting itself in fear. It knows GOD is about to turn it upside down and give it a good shaking!
Wow!
How did you miss the January 25, 2020, Hunga Tunga eruption in an article about increasing volcanic activity?
Probably the most consequential recent eruption?
I’ve read many times that Grand Solar Minimums (GSM) always have increased earthquakes and volcanoes, usually have a big volcano or earthquake, disrupt agriculture and usually civilizations. We are still having 11.1 year Solar Cycles but we are in the beginning of the Eddy Minimum (a GSM) which may become like the Maunder Minimum and will probably last until about 2050.
We’re all gonna die we’re all gonna die… Yellowstone superduper volcano is OVERDUE, The earthquake in commiefornia, the BIG ONE, is overdue. there are a few overdue natural disasters seemingly about to explode.
What I want to know is WTF is playing around with the timer dial on these disasters?? Whoever is responsible for keeping these disasters ON TIME should be fired right away. Sounds like an affirmative hire might be at the dial.
I know for one I’m in big trouble because these Chicken Little articles don’t move me an iota from everyday life. So the overdue disasters will overtake me, sigh. At the very least the responsible disaster comptroller should send out enough notice time to get out the lawn chair and some popcorn.
Sure hope the solar system doesn’t play marbles [like it did with venus] in my life time.
Wasn’t marbles per se; Venus may have been a comet captured by our Sun and became planet #2; maybe about 10,000- 5,000 years ago. Mars also a capture but didn’t have enough mass to hold onto its atmosphere which got blown away by the Solar Wind.
Well, if it wasn’t this, Mikie’s hair would be on fire over something else. I don’t know how the fucker has avoided a catastrophic meltdown thus far.
I watch a bit of geology and have noted it seems that every major fault line is due or overdue for a huge earthquake. What if they all go at once? How many people will continue fighting each other when they have to fight for survival?
How many people will continue fighting each other when they have to fight for survival?
Umm, all of them?
Is this a trick question?
Cause you have to tell me.
Global warming is causing all the volcanic and earthquake activity. If we charge everyone a carbon tax for breathing we can stop this stuff.
Ha!
“To me, it definitely appears that what we are currently witnessing is not normal.”
Presently out west in an area that was once covered by a vast sea for millions of years, then there was an uprising due to plate tectonics, the sea water drained away and it became a lush paradise for a million years or so, supporting dinosaurs and then people, then there was a tilt of the earth and a possible pole shift and for a couple recent thousand of years there was a long drought where civilizations and animal life completely disappeared, then a short 100 year period of wet conditions, now it’s turning back to drought conditions.
What the actual fuck is normal? Volcanos that we know have wrought destruction in our long ago past, or dormancy in our present?
Plate tectonics, volcanos’, earthquakes, the earths gyroscopic precession, solar flares, pole shifts etc, etc all contribute to a dynamic ever changing world full of climate change.
That’s normal.
Also remember, we’re still in an active ice age, presently in the middle of an interglacial warming period, change is normal.
One of the best descriptions of life on this planet was; hold yours arms out wide, that is the time earth has existed in some form, your fingernail is the length of time life is some form has existed, a single scrape of a file on your fingernail is the length of time man has existed.
Another good synopsis is, this earth is very good at creating life, but even better at extinguishing life.
Speaking of precession, we are also about a decade into our entrance into the other hemisphere of the great abyss and since it’s been 26,000 years since that last happened we can only guess or study ice borings or some such to figure if that even means anything. You know what? It’s dangerous out here. LOL!
Look up ‘ The year without a summer. ‘
The Year Without a Winter: 1877-78
The Winter of 1877-78 is the warmest Meteorological Winter on record in the Twin Cities.
The winter of 1877-78 was dubbed the “Year without a Winter.” Indeed, the winter of 1877-78 is the warmest winter on record for the Twin Cities with a December-February average temperature of 29 degrees. The next winter that compares is 1930-31 with an average temperature of 26.9 degrees. In 3rd place is the winter of 2001-02 with 26.8 degrees.
So, how did the residents of the Twin Cities feel about their record setting warm winter in 1877-78? While residents may enjoy the ease of driving around the Twin Cities in 2012, travel was a hardship in the winter of 1877-78 for a population who depended on travel by horse and sleigh. Most roads were dirt, and the lack of snow hampered travel. Businesses were affected by the inability to move goods.

The last time a super volcano erupted it cooled the planet and led to the little ice age that caused massive crop failures.
Is it just nature making sure it gets it carbon? As man tries to decrease or end their share, nature must step up to keep the natural balance. Leeson: Stop trying to control nature!
When solar cycles increase, the charge recycle on earth manifests in increased energy recycling up through various points on earth where energy paths concentrate.
These pathways can result in volcanic eruptions, volcanoes.
