2012 – The 11 Worst Places For Your Family To Be
If the Sumerian Nibiru Prophecy, Nostradamus’ Doomsday, or any of the other End of the World scenarios others predict could happen in the 2012 Doomsday actually come to pass, you’d better make sure that you and your family are as far away as possible from the following places on 21 December 2012.
A City
On 21 December 2012 you and your family should not be in a large city, and particularly not in a tall building. For one thing, in a strong earthquake tall buildings have a tendency to fall over, but even if they remain standing they are really just concrete coffins.
If you are in a city affected by any of the likely 2012 scenarios it will be struck with virtually immediate loss of power, water, gas and land-based telecommunications. Cellular networks are also vulnerable, and even if they survive the initial event they won’t continue to operate forever.
What’s more storage of survival items in sufficient quantities is difficult in apartments where it’s often hard enough trying to find a place for the vacuum cleaner. Experience has shown that even in the most civilised cities the breakdown of law and order will also be very fast in cities. Within hours of the Great New York Power Outage, and the Rodney King riots in LA mob rule was the order of the day in large parts of the two of the most modern cities on Earth. Desperate (unprepared) survivors, alone and in groups, will comb the streets and buildings in search of food, water and weapons – and in this situation a family group, especially one which has young children is extremely vulnerable. Even if you manage to survive the disaster in your apartment or office, sooner or later you will need to come out in search of food and water – and they’ll be waiting. Or you’ll need to defend yourself against them when they come to your place.
The suburbs are only slightly safer. You and your neighbours could band together for safety in numbers, and houses are more likely to come through an earthquake in better shape than high-rise buildings. On the other hand, they are more at risk if there are floods, hurricanes or magma showers. And houses are a lot harder to defend than a high-rise building, where you can at least block the stairs, and shut the gates (the elevators won’t be working).
But sooner or later the same problems will come up. You’ll to get need water and food from somewhere – but the pipes will be dry and the supermarket will have been cleaned out days before. And maybe you’ll find that your neighbours aren’t so friendly anymore either – especially when their kids start dying of thirst and they know you’ve still got a nice little supply in the basement.
Coastal Areas
A lot of the scenarios we talk about feature flooding and tsunami. Coastlines will the first hit, and will be hit hardest. Your escape options towards safer areas inland are also likely to be severely affected by the millions of other people fleeing in the same direction at the same time.
Geothermal Areas
Anywhere where volcanic activity happens (or has ever happened before) before should be avoided like the plague. A number of possible cataclysmic events could trigger the re-eruption of existing volcanoes or create new ones, anywhere magma zones are present. Most Geological Survey maps clearly indicate volcanic areas. Stay out! So it would be advisable to be well clear of Yellowstone National Park, Valles Calders, New Mexico and Long Valley in California. Both places are simmering super-volcanoes, ready to blow. Dormant Super volcanoes also exist in Russia, New Zealand and Indonesia.You should also be wary of places where there are natural hot springs, even if there doesn’t seem to be a volcano around the place. Hot springs are heated by magma close to the surface, and could easily become a new volcanic vent.
Deserts and Arid Areas
Water is clearly the major problem here, for two reasons:
- Lack of water for drinking and agriculture
- Flash flooding which occurs along dry river beds and salt pans (which were all once lakes!). Deserts tend to have sands and soils which do not absorb rainfall.Don’t go anywhere near a desert if you can help it.
Along Disaster Escape Routes from cities
Desperate people fleeing the loss of their own homes and loved ones do not respect private property, and will take what they need. You can try and defend what’s yours, but the odds will never be in your favour.
Areas which do not support agriculture, hunting and fishing
In the long-term your survival depends on living off the land. If you are in a barren place this is impossible and you will not live much beyond the last of your stores.
Fault Lines
Earthquakes happen along fault lines, which are the boundary lines of tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s crust. NEO impact, and planetary alignment are just two scenarios which could create massive quakes along multiple fault lines simultaneously. The Pacific Rim aka ‘The Ring of Fire’ is a giant chain of linked fault zones, peppered by volcanoes, ringing the entire Pacific Ocean. LA and San Francisco are both on massive fault zones, which suggests that neither of them will be smart places to be in December 2012. What’s more, as we know, earthquakes on the seafloor often create Tsunamis – making the low lying parts of islands in the Pacific risky places to be as well.
Pacific Islands
Most mountainous Pacific Islands including the Hawaiian Chain, Fiji, Tahiti, Samoa, Guam, Okinawa, Taiwan, are volcanic in origin. Any event which triggers massive earthquakes and Tsunamis could easily trigger volcanic eruptions too. On islands, even large ones, there will be no place to run, no place to hide.
River Valleys
Valleys were carved out by running water, and when you get rain you get more water. Large open river valleys can resemble plains like the Mississippi, but will still flood very rapidly if there’s enough rainfall. The entire Mississippi/Missouri basin could become the greatest of all the Great Lakes, and will be very difficult to escape from unless you have a boat or an aircraft.In the hills, river valleys are much narrower and steeper sided. And because of the difficulty in moving through mountainous terrain it’s very tempting to stay low and follow the rivers. But that’s probably a very bad idea in December 2012, because you could be washed away by a flash flood or buried by a mudslide without warning. So if you have to traverse mountain areas, be sure to stay on the ridgelines. By the way in winter Avalanches are also a hazard in this type of terrain. Also rapid global cooling brought on by a number of possible scenarios could mean that places that haven’t seen snow since the last ice age could get an unexpected dump of fresh powder. So in summary, be very careful of the mountains.
Unstable Hill Country
You should avoid steep, cut-up looking hill country which doesn’t have a good covering of large, well established trees. This type of landscape is the product of soft rock, deep but loose soils and frequent rainfall. Mudslides are common in this type of terrain, because of the weakness of the soil and can be massive, with whole hillsides collapsing. Often you’ll encounter this type of country in the foothills of large mountain chains, which create rainfall by trapping clouds against their high peaks and ridges. Which means this type of country is very prone to flash flooding, as small landslides create dams upstream. Water builds up behind the dams until the pressure gets too great for the soil to bear, and then it’s suddenly released in a massive wall of water moving down the valley at 90 mph. Over the years, particularly in Central and South America and China where terrain like this is very widespread, mudslides and flash floods have killed millions of people as whole towns and cities were swallowed up or washed away without warning.
Near a Nuclear Power Plant
One word – Chernobyl. Any of the massive disasters of the kind we’re expecting in 2012 could destroy a nuclear power plant, causing an explosive meltdown or destroying the protective casing around the reactor. Either way the result would be a release of high-intensity radioactivity into the atmosphere. The radiation would kill all living things nearby and the fall-out would affect an area of thousands of square mile. It would also be wise to steer well clear of factories producing toxic material. Destruction of these facilities will render wide areas uninhabitable, and would make local groundwater and river water downstream undrinkable for years.
The good news is that there are still plenty of other places that could be safe havens in the event of a 2012 cataclysm.Check out my other articles about the safest places to be in the USA, Europe and the rest of the world.

Corporate Bailouts… Is Government Postponing the Inevitable?
What makes a corporate entity too big to fail? Corporate money and influence over legislators is the single variable that allows some businesses to be allowed to be bailed out with tax payer dollars! This is a violation of the premise of capitalism.
Capitalism must have winners and losers determined not by investment, but by production. Investment speculation, interjects into the market false value in actual good produced.
If the general population understood how the market works, they wouldn’t do it! The market is social deceit at its grandest level and will result in it economic destruction eventually.
Once the investment cycle begins, it can’t be stopped until it crumbles under its own weight. This is the law of economic physics. Granted, you can create the façade for a period of time but you cannot maintain it forever.
The market must have losers in order for the winners to make money. The safest place that the investment manipulators get their money is from those who do not understand how the market works.
While the corporate manipulators scrape real money off of the top, those unsuspecting, reap very little to nothing as their investments are eaten up by inflation.
Those who invest in the market are not investing in a real product, they think they are but they are not. You’re not investing in Apple or Goldman Sachs, you’re betting against others who are betting with you while the dealer is paid real money for their services.
Real money is money paid for a service; however, investment money does not represent a real product. While real money can be invested to make real products, investment money is used for marketing which results when the cost of currency is inflated by the artificial cost of manufacturing due to investment. The market is a scam, a Ponzi scheme.
When the market collapsed in 2008, this occurred because the market price of goods manufactured, such as housing, became so inflated that the market could no longer afford to buy them. However, this didn’t stop the manipulators from continuing to sell the high cost of manufacturing. Why did this occur? The market manipulators knew this was going to happen and they also knew that “they” were going to get bailed out. Those who control the market also control our legislators. Too big to fail, too big to jail! They can do whatever they want and escape prosecution.
Any economy needs new investors. Ask any mayor of any city… the key to prosperity is the ability to bring new money into their town. The reason for this can be found in the game monopoly. When you play monopoly, the object of the game is to wind up with all of the money. However, in real life when one person has all of the money, everyone gets poor and the city becomes a wasteland or the winner has got to give all of their winnings back to the public from which it came. However, this second scenario is the least likely course of action. The manipulators must bring new money in. This keeps economy on an even keel, up to a point.
This need for new investors has taken those who manipulate the market on a worldwide quest for new money. We now have an international market. It’s is no longer just foreign investors at the highest level. It is the guy with a computer betting on the market via his pc in his living room. What happens when there is no new money to invest?
The market is so inflated, that the only thing holding it all together is “promissory inflation”. This is a term of my own creation which defines an economy which is held together by the ability or promise of a government to collect money and repay debt. Now, our economic situation has gotten so out of hand, that the U.S. government must underwrite corporate debt. This is what the corporate bailout is all about. It is the government saying to the world, “the economy is going to collapse but hopefully it won’t happen on my shift”! If the leaders in congress and the president can forestall the inevitable until they can leave office then they won’t be blamed for it. All in all it is a political game of musical chairs. What president is not going to be able to sit down when the music stops?
The sad thing about all of this, concerns the level of damage control necessary when the market can no longer be synthetically sustained and economic collapse actually does happen. A good analogy is this; if the submarine is damaged on the surface of the ocean, maybe you can swim out and save yourself but if your captain continues to put off abandoning ship until it begins to sink, then all will be lost.
Now the economic situation has gotten worse. In the not too distant future, our economy will come to the point of critical mass, and there will no longer be a way for the president to stop the ship from sinking. The sooner our leadership stops this practice, the less damage control will be necessary.
One rationalization for these bailouts concerns the real people who work for real corporations that actually produce real goods being left without a job. However, consider that goods are produced for real reasons and as long as there is a market for goods produced, the vacuum left by those who are too big to fail, will be quickly filled by others. Too big to fail is a myth!
These bailouts didn’t patch any holes, they never actually fixed anything and they just postponed the inevitable. They’ve just made things worse for those who are going to have to go through this in the future as soon they must!
Much of the corporate bailout money, which is real money paid for by tax payers who produce real goods, went to line the pockets of those who control the president and the legislators in congress. This only benefits those who make the laws and those who control them, there is no benefit for the taxpayer. This bail out money never really bailed us out at all. The true bailout is the promise of the U.S. government to underwrite corporate debt with tax payer dollars!
We must allow these corporations to fail! We must stop allowing our government to use money that represents real goods, real production, to pay for debt which does not! When our government starts seeing these manipulators as not only too big to fail but also not too big to jail, this practice will stop and when it does, we will be able to build an economy on the concept of a day’s pay for a day’s work. There is no easy road, there is no free money. Money represents labor and goods produced. Investment speculation results in inflation and a false foundation of our national economy.
We need to care for our poor but government should not be in the business of creating poverty. This is what happens when the fuel that drives the economy begins to thin and the machine that drives it begins to slow.
When Obama talks about taxing the rich, I can assure you, he is not talking about taxing the rich, those who manipulate him, he is talking about taxing those who present no threat to him or his opportunity for reelection. When Obama talks about taxing the rich he is referring to those who own small businesses. Those who do produce goods and services are barely making it now! The small business person is the only safe place left for our controlled and corrupt leadership to squeeze!
We the people are the only hope. If we understand the machinery of economy, then we will not allow ourselves to be manipulated. We will have the knowledge to elect leaders who will take us in the right direction. We need leaders who have real courage and are willing to sacrifice!
As we go into the 2012 election year, just follow the big money. Wherever the big money is, lurk the manipulators who are willing to take your hard earned real dollars to line their own pockets and returning to you in its place… the false hope of “promissory inflation”.
