Summer Bay Resort Sinkhole Another Pinpoint on the Map of Giant Earthworm Migration

The Apocalypse Depot continuing coverage of the giant earthworm migration that is turning the U.S. into Swiss cheese stops at Clermont, Florida about 7 minutes away from Disney World.  Local news outlets reported a 40 to 50 feet in diameter sinkhole caused a section of a central Florida resort villa to partially collapse. Fox news reported that the development's president, Paul Caldwell, said the resort underwent geological testing when it was built about 15 years ago, showing the ground to be stable, and that there were no signs before Sunday that a sinkhole was developing.  SK9 Perimeter Functions senior bait manager responded to Mr. Caldwell by saying, "You didn't have the magnitude of great migrating giant night-crawlers back 15 years ago as you do today in your neck of the woods there city-boy!"  The folks back at the Apocalypse-Depot yard is grateful that all residence were unhurt.

SK9 Perimeter Functions continues to record the sinkhole phenomena.  Previous migration sitings include:

Mercury Mutants We Will Be! Environmental Backwardness Spiraling (bulb) into Zombification of Populous

A clean and safe environment should always be of concern - We just have to make sure that we humans are around to appreciate the aesthetics and not just zombie snacking on that whistlin' song bird we just saved. With that said, all of those environmentally safe, energy saving fluorescent light bulbs that we are all rapidly installing might just be more harmful than helpful. This weekends case for "Environmental Backwardness" comes from the mines of China via demands from our living rooms!

A study from Stony Brook University “has proven that CFLs do emit ultraviolet (UV) light rays that can harm human skin cells.”  CFLs are compact fluorescent light bulbs – the expensive spiral light bulbs we have been forced to begin using, after incandescent light bulbs were regulated out of existence.

Heck - the EPA has a three (3) page manual on cleaning up these mutant bombs - which includes evacuation!

"In China, a heavy environmental price is being paid for the production of “green” light bulbs in cost-cutting factories. Large numbers of Chinese workers have been poisoned by mercury, which forms part of the compact fluorescent lightbulbs. A surge in foreign demand, set off by a European Union directive making these bulbs compulsory within three years, has also led to the reopening of mercury mines that have ruined the environment.”

Here are some factoids on Mercury and CFL bulbs:
  • Accumulation of Mercury in the body can damage the nervous system, lungs and kidneys, posing a particular threat to babies in the womb and young children.
  • If a compact fluorescent lightbulb is broken in the home, the room should be cleared for 15 minutes because of the danger of inhaling mercury vapour.
Please read the Human Events online article for an eye-opening report on the zombification of the world through mass mercury poisoning from the those clean green spiral bulbs.

Apocalypse Depot Cool Wasteland Gear - Sony's PIIQ Exhale Earbuds the "Bass Masq"

Creepy Gas Mask Ear Buds Rule!
Apocalypse Depot unloaded a stash of tech goodies the SK9 Perimanators! found while out on patrol in the northern wasteland recently.  Inside the crate we came across these cool looking earbuds shaped like a gas mask. And we are fond of gas masks at the Apocalypse Depot yard. The gear is aptly named  Sony's PIIQ Exhale Earbuds "Bass Masq" -

Here are some specs:

 The Gas Mask set up is constructed to boost the bass in music - the eyes enhance the bass and the music comes through the "exhale" mouth piece. There are neodynmium magnets for clear and powerful sound.

The catch is they originally sold for around $15.00 and now can be found for $5.00 at local barter town joints or free on wasteland raids!

They work really well especially when listening to the Apocalypse Depot's favorite tune -  All You Zombies!

Pakistani Zombie Brothers In Protective Custody for Cooking Up Human Curry Dish


You might want to change your mind the next time you decide to go for an order of chicken or shrimp curry.  A recent follow up investigation by the BBC turned up further horrifying details of the Pakistani Zombie Ali Brothers.  The Pakistani zombie duo were arrested in 2011 by the living authorities for corpse theft.  The two ghouls only served two years in jail because ... get this... Pakistan had no law against eating corpses curry style.  The police had to take the brothers into protective custody to prevent them from being lynched. Their whereabouts since their release have been largely unknown.

The story begins with the funeral and burial of a local 24 year old women.  The next morning when family went to pay respects at the grave sight they found the plot collapsed and the body missing. The Pakistani Zombie squad was called in and the investigation led them to the undead Ali brothers home.

Here is the account from the BBC on what went down:

"We raided the house in mid-morning in the presence of local elders," says Inspector Fakhar Bhatti, the police official who led the raid.

"Arif was sleeping in his room. His father and one of his sisters were there. Farman was absent. We searched the house, and then asked for the key to Farman's room, which was locked."

When they opened the room, a stale smell of cooking and dead flesh hit them.

"In the middle of the room, I saw a cooking pot which was half full of meat curry. Nearby was a wooden board, a butcher's axe and a large kitchen knife. Bits of fat clung to the board and the blade of the axe."

The food had attracted a colony of ants; their line vanished under a bed.

"We followed the ants. There were a couple of sacks of fertiliser under the bed. We pulled them out, and behind them, inside a gunny bag, we found the body," says Inspector Bhatti

"It still gives me the creeps; they had chopped off one of her legs below the knee, and the other one near the shin. The rest of the body was intact. The curry was made from those parts. We got it analysed at a laboratory in Multan."

When questioned by the police, the brothers admitted to having dug up and devoured several other dead bodies from the local graveyard. They said they had been doing it for a couple of years.


In the end - Defence lawyer Rao Tasadduq Hussain summed up the whole mess, "They are not insane, they are just fools." -

Colorado Town Leaps Into Fray of Domestic Drone War By Issuing Drone Hunting License

Deer Trail, Colorado is set to become the first town in free America to issue drone hunting licenses.  A license to kill... drones will cost $25.00.  A township meeting is set for Tuesday 8/6/13.  Already 157 citizens have signed up for the permits. Earlier this year hunters in South Carolina knocked a drone out of the sky.

Phillip Steel, a Deer Trail resident who drafted the ordinance said, “Right now we don’t have drones flying in our skies. We want to keep it that way. If you don’t want your drone to go down, don’t fly in town. That’s our motto.” The town's mayor Frank Fields added, “Using [drones] against terrorists is OK, but we don’t need to be using it in our little towns, peeking in windows and stuff."

According to the Washington Times more than 30 states and local governments across the nation, drafted rules dictating what drones can do, where they can fly and what types of data they can collect.  No other government, however, has gone as far as Deer Trail and literally licensed the hunting of drones.

In April,  Apocalypse Depot showcased an article titled The Domestic Drone War Is Here - Hunters Getting Ready for PETA Drone Season - in which People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) members were stalking hunters in the South Carolina.  And apparently a few South Carolina Hunters did get the memo as an animal rights group drone was shot down while it was attempting to monitor pigeon hunters in South Carolina.

The domestic drone war is here!

REMEMBER THIS WORLDWIDE TERROR ALERT ON EVER OF 9/11?

REMEMBER THIS?  WOLRDWIDE ALERT ON 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11

Janet Napolitano said not to worry and the State Department said worry!

O.K. - it is no wonder the perimeter is such a mess. The overlords can't even get their story straight about security on the eve of 9/11. Read for yourself:

The U.S. State Department: 
The U.S. State Department on Friday issued a worldwide travel alert ahead of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, calling on Americans living and travelling abroad to remain vigilant. The department said it had not identified any "specific threats" about possible attacks but that al-Qaida and its affiliates had "demonstrated the intent and capability to carry out attacks" against the U.S. and U.S. interests. "In the past, terrorist organizations have on occasion planned their attacks to coincide with significant dates on the calendar," the State Department said. The alert expires on January 2, 2012, it said.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano:
"While the anniversary is seen as a prime moment for extremist groups to attempt to attack again, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said "there is no specific or credible intelligence that al-Qaida or its affiliates are plotting attacks in the United States to coincide with the 10-year anniversary of 9/11."

Pennsylvania Turnpike Forcing Drivers into EZ Pass Tracking Web Leaving Drivers to Pay More For Freedom

Lord Humongous prefers to use cash on the PA Turnpike!
In January, the Pennsylvania Turnpike will increase toll rates by 2% while EZ pass rates will increase a few pennies.  SK9 Perimeter Functions continually monitors the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s plan to force all drivers onto the EZ-Pass tracking grid under the thumb of higher cash tolls.  EZ-Pass tracks entry and exit from the heavily used superhighway essentially recording driving patterns, possible speed between point of entry and exit and other driver data including credit card information and addresses.  With all of the recent NSA revelations consumers needs to ask if their driving habits are being shared among government groups. 

How is this all being accomplished? When Turnpike CEO Mark Compton uses environmentalism and says, "E-ZPass collection also cuts emissions by reducing idling at tollbooths." And under Act 44, that requires it to pay $450 million each year for use on the state's ground-transportation network which supposedly pays for bridge and highway improvements, including rebuilding and widening the toll road, and to support the operation of public-transit authorities.

So the Turnpike needs to meet financial obligations under Act 44 but raises the rate for cash users significantly and not so for EZ Pass users.  The Apocalypse Depot free mechanic and motor pool ghouls interpret it as PA drivers are paying more to keep their freedom and information private! Soon cash will be illegal to use or the cash rates will be so high it will almost be impossible not to submit to government surveillance.  The toll increase is the 11th in the history of the Turnpike Commission and the sixth since the passage of Act 44, according to the commission.

For those who say conspiracy - Apocalypse Depot says - Tin Foil Hats!?  Nah! We have a sale on tin foil wrapping for your whole vehicle!

U.S. Puts House of Saud on Alert

SK9 Perimeter Function scanners picked up a U.S. State Department travel warning for Saudi Arabia.  Although the alert is very brief it does warrant mention since there hasn't been much activity on the alert roster since May 2012.  Could this alert be in preparation for upcoming maneuvers or kinetic activity?  Stay tuned Wastelanders!

There remains an ongoing security threat due to the continued presence of terrorist groups, some affiliated with al-Qaida, who may target Western interests, housing compounds, hotels, shopping areas, and other facilities where Westerners congregate. These terrorist groups may employ a wide variety of tactics, including small-scale attacks, and may target Saudi government facilities and economic/commercial targets within the Kingdom.

U.S. citizens who visit Saudi Arabia are strongly encouraged to carefully select hotels or housing compounds with security measures in place that meet their particular needs. This is a personal and individual decision for the traveler and/or sponsor. In addition, given that terrorists may seek predictable targets, U.S. citizens should always be aware of their surroundings when traveling or visiting commercial establishments frequented by Westerners. U.S. citizens are also advised to keep a low profile, vary times and routes of travel, exercise caution while driving, entering or exiting vehicles, and ensure that travel documents and visas are current and valid.

The Star Wars of Current Politics

Those Tea Party Conservatives Are Doomed - hahahahahahaha!!!

The left unfairly portrayed Dick Cheney as Darth Vader some years back - and in the end even if Cheney was thought of as Vader - we all know Vader made his peace with Luke. Well when looking at the current state of this country's politics through the Star Wars universe   - I think it looks something like this right now...

Obama The Hut: "There will be no bargain, young conservatives. I shall enjoy watching the constitution die."

Again With the Missing Weapons of Mass Destruction... Now Johannesburg Cyanide Goes AWOL

A truck full of potassium cyanide was hijacked outside of Johannesburg South Africa this past Saturday and authorities are no closer to finding it.  Authorities identified the truck as belonging to Krome Metal Chemicals.  Johannesburg Police Lieutenant Colonel Katlego Mogale said, "Inhalation of the chemical could lead to death and was toxic if swallowed or if it came into contact with the skin. It could skin and eye irritation, and burns. Even brief exposure to its gas was toxic or extremely irritating."

The chemical targets the central nervous system, eyes, kidneys, liver, lungs, skin and heart and symptoms include extreme irritation of eyes and mucous membranes, including burning and tearing; respiratory failure.

This leads into another hijacked weapons load-out from earlier this year in Billings, Montana where Over 500 pounds of explosives were jacked from a federal bunker.  The explosives were stolen from a locked U.S. Forest Service bunker. Thieves took off with various emulsion-type explosives, cast boosters and detonating cord. As of today Carbon County Sheriff Thomas Rieger still doesn't "have any idea who done it."

Capture of Zeta Drug Cartel Leader Prompts U.S. Travel Warning to Mexico

The capture of Miguel Angel Trevino Morales by Mexican Marines has prompted the U.S. State Department to cast a travel warning for Mexico.  Morales, the brutal leader of the Zeta drug cartel was known for leaving headless bodies on roadsides or hanging from bridges.  Morales was captured in a daring operation when his truck that contained at least $2 million in cash with several weapons was slowed by a Mexican Marine chopper.

Advertencia!
  • The U.S. government had floated a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Morales.
  • The number of U.S. citizens reported to the Department of State as murdered in Mexico was 113 in 2011 and 71 in 2012
U.S. travelers should be aware that the Mexican government has been engaged in an extensive effort to counter Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) which engage in narcotics trafficking and other unlawful activities throughout Mexico. The TCOs themselves are engaged in a violent struggle to control drug trafficking routes and other criminal activity. Crime and violence are serious problems and can occur anywhere. U.S. citizens have fallen victim to criminal activity, including homicide, gun battles, kidnapping, carjacking and highway robbery. While most of those killed in narcotics-related violence have been members of TCOs, innocent persons have also been killed.

Gun battles between rival TCOs or with Mexican authorities have taken place in towns and cities in many parts of Mexico, especially in the border region. Gun battles have occurred in broad daylight on streets and in other public venues, such as restaurants and clubs. During some of these incidents, U.S. citizens have been trapped and temporarily prevented from leaving the area. TCOs have used stolen cars, buses and trucks to create roadblocks on major thoroughfares, preventing the military and police from responding to criminal activity. The location and timing of future armed engagements is unpredictable.

The number of kidnappings and disappearances throughout Mexico is of particular concern. Both local and expatriate communities have been victimized. In addition, local police have been implicated in some of these incidents. We strongly advise you to lower your profile and avoid displaying any evidence of wealth that might draw attention.

Carjacking and highway robbery are serious problems in many parts of the border region, and U.S. citizens have been murdered in such incidents. Most victims who complied with carjackers at these checkpoints have reported that they were not physically harmed. Carjackers have shot at vehicles that fail to stop at checkpoints. Incidents have occurred during the day and at night, and carjackers have used a variety of techniques, including bumping/moving vehicles to force them to stop and running vehicles off the road at high speeds. There are some indications that criminals have particularly targeted newer and larger vehicles, especially dark-colored SUVs. However, victims driving a variety of vehicles, from late model SUVs to old sedans have also been targeted. While violent incidents have occurred at all hours of the day and night on both modern toll highways ("cuotas") and on secondary roads, they have occurred most frequently at night and on isolated roads. To reduce risk, if absolutely necessary to travel by road, we strongly urge you to travel between cities throughout Mexico only during daylight hours, to avoid isolated roads, and to use toll roads whenever possible. The Mexican government has deployed federal police and military personnel throughout the country as part of its efforts to combat the TCOs.

U.S. citizens traveling on Mexican roads and highways may encounter government checkpoints, which are often staffed by military personnel or law enforcement personnel. TCOs have erected their own unauthorized checkpoints, at times wearing police and military uniforms, and killed or abducted motorists who have failed to stop at them. You should cooperate at all checkpoints.

Pittsburgh Tent City Dwellers Attention Grows from Small SK9 Perimeter Functions Social Media Campaign to Prime Time Player Pittsburgh Post-Gazette


SK9 Perimeter Functions and Apocalypse Depot have been closely covering the Pittsburgh Tent City story for a few months now.  Using social media, consisting of twitter and blogger - We have chronicled the situation and even reached out to local politicians and mainstream media and reporters for help.  We did not receive much attention or feedback.  We heard back rather quickly from local politician Republican Pittsburgh Mayoral Candidate Josh Wanderon June 5th and on July 3rd, The Pittsburgh-Post Gazette jumped in the game.  They published an article by Alex Zimmerman who provided a deeper look into the Pittsburgh homeless tent cities and plans going forward.


SK9 Reaches Out to Pittsburgh Media - Republican Josh Wander Tweets Concerns

Sometimes all it takes is a simple ground game of grass roots social media to ramp up the interest in a local issue.  We are not saying that we had anything to do with escalating the coverage but we do know that we were concerned enough to send out flares.  And for all the visitors who read our coverage - thank you very caring and for visiting the http://www.apocalypse-depot.com/

Apocalypse Depot Coverage of Pittsburgh Homeless Tent City: 

Hopefully Pittsburgh will help to take care of those who are less fortunate and deserve assistance and also clean up the crime and danger associated with the rest.



Points from the Post Gazette and Alex Zimmerman:
  • On any given summer night, about 30 people sleep in one of several camps below a labyrinthine intersection of highways on the North Shore.
  • "There's been a problem with homeless encampments around the city," said Rob Kaczorowski, the city's public works director, citing health and safety concerns about groups living in close quarters without proper sanitation.
  • Dr. Withers said. "Frankly, that camp is one of the largest I've seen in 21 years, and we're often afraid to go into it. We've seen people with guns, obvious drug deals going on."
  • Dr. Withers chalks the increase he's seen in the homeless population up to the sagging economy.

Homeless Couch Row Adds to Pittsburgh Tent City's Landscape... Gains Media Attention


SK9 Perimeter Functions has been reporting on the growth of the Pittsburgh Tent Citiessince Mid May and continually observing the situation.  The tents are pitched on North Side of Pittsburgh under the General Robinson highway bridge near PNC Park where the Pittsburgh Pirates play ball.  The arrival of the warm weather has attracted more occupants.  The group has been provided with old couches, small generators, TVs, Cell Phones, BBQ Grills and other amenities.  Local church groups are handing out bags of supplies as well.  One issue that has not been addressed is the sanitation and bathroom issue as occupants have been seen relieving themselves on the hillside surrounding the bridges.  Commuter traffic is sometimes affected as occupants use the HOV lane to move from one camp to another - A danger to both the occupants and drivers alike.

Recently small teams of media have climbed on board and have been observed interviewing and filming the occupants. Hopefully their story will provide enough attention to help the occupants get out from underneath the overpass, into real shelter and on their way to bouncing back.

Apocalypse Depot Victory Garden's Pumpkin Patch Prep and Pie

With growing season in full swing the Apocalypse Depot Victory Garden crew would like to share some advice on how we approach the Pumpkin Patch.  Everyone has their own methods on growing which are probably similar to ours, but just in case we hope these tid-bits help in the development of your jolly orange fellas.  Have a great growing season and best wishes on an epic fall harvest!  Good Luck Wastelanders!

The Great Pumpkin Shark.  If a pumpkin could be a fish it would be. They consume a lot of water - rule of thumb is one inch of water a week.
 
Rot and Roll. Dampness causes fungus and rot - Try and keep the foliage and fruit dry when watering except when the sun is prominent
 
Feed the Beast. Pumpkins Like to Eat!  Use a high nitrogen formula early then switch over to high a phosphorous just before the blooming.

Groom Them. Weed the patch and provide a blanket of mulch - Roots can be tender so take care when pulling weeds.

Bees Please. Bees are essential for pollination try not to kill them off with over use of insecticide. Tip is to apply only in late afternoon or early evening when blossoms are closed.

Pinch Me. When a few pumpkins have taken shape - try pinching off the ends of vines so the energy will be consumed by the fruit instead of vine growth.

Roll em' Over. Once the pumpkin is formed, rotating the fruit will encourage a uniform shape - be sure not to crack the vines.

Pie! When it is time harvest and enjoy! Preserve and can, bake a pie, jump for joy for a successful harvest!

Moscow’s response to President Obama’s call for a new one-third reduction in deployed strategic nuclear warheads


From the Washington Times...

Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin, the key arms control official, announced Sunday that Russia is developing a new strategic “superweapon” to deal with its U.S. adversary.

“Today, we are experiencing a revolution in military science,” Mr. Rogozin told Russian television. “This revolution is connected with the rapid development of highly accurate means of destruction. These are cruise missiles and high-speed rocket weapons. In the future, there will be hypersonic weapons.”

According to the Russian official, military reaction times are much shorter than in the past, and the United States “adversary” has shown its capabilities against foreign militaries with precision strike weapons.

“Russia is analyzing the situation,” he said. “We are creating a weapon that could be called a superweapon. This is a weapon that will allow us to see the enemy sooner than he will see us and to inflict a blow on him, in retaliatory measures, that will be irreversible for him.” He did not elaborate.
