Posted on November 13, 2013 by The Extinction Protocol

November 13, 2013 – Manila, PHILIPPINES – Struggle for survival has killed eight people in Tacloban in Philippines today. A huge crowd stormed into a rice warehouse in the city and as a result, a wall collapsed, killing 8 people instantly. There is a shortage of food, safe drinking water, clothes and everything necessary in the Haiyan-devastated Philippines. Police and security agencies guard malls, shops, warehouses and camps to stop angry people from attacking them. There are also reports of armed gangs looting the shops and malls. The crowd took away almost 1 Lakh bags of rice, each bag weighing 50 kgs, authorities reported. According to United nations data, more than 10,000 people have died in the typhoon. Haiyan was described as one of the most powerful storms ever in the world. UN says it has a huge amount of job to be done in Philippines and Vietnam where the wind caused maximum destructions. “We have not been able to get into the remote communities,” UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said in Manila. More than 11 million people are said to be affected by the storm. “Even in Tacloban, because of the debris and the difficulties with logistics and so on, we have not been able to get in the level of supply that we would want to. We are going to do as much as we can to bring in more,” she said. –One India

Another storm brings rain: Tropical Depression Zoraida, as named by the Philippine weather agency PAGASA, brought locally heavy rain to parts of the southern and central Philippines. Davao City, the largest city on the main southern island of Mindanao, reported 82 mm (3.2 inches) of rain in the 24-hour period ending at 8 a.m. Philippine time Tuesday. The Philippines are 13 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern time. Davao is one of the largest cities in the Philippines, with over 1.4 million people in the city and 2.2 million people in its metropolitan area. Weather reports from the hardest-hit areas of the central Philippines are limited as most of the infrastructure was wiped out by Super Typhoon Haiyan. –WC

I think we should take notice here at this scene. It could be played out here and I ‘m not trying to be a prophet or a know-it-all but if the earth changes occur as we believe, then we, here in America can expect a disruption in food being delivered and even robbed enroute to the store by gangs and other mobs,hungry.
I think we should take heed, we are moving into perilous and dangerous times in which matters and disputes are being settled by the gun and not by reason.

Take some notes my friends !!! This is what will happen to our countries sooner than later. Floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, snowstorms, earthquakes, we are still lucky but within months we’ll know how desperate philippians are feeling right now. North American citizens have a strong way to ”keep business as usual” after cataclysmic events, but they won’t be able to catch up soon… god bless us all my friends, we are the lucky ones…

As much as I hate to admit it, to me this “feels” like some variety of “Skinner box” experiment: an island nation, isolated not by geography but by circumstances, used as a beta for the study of societal collapse in the wake of an unprecedented disaster. Massive floods have destroyed villages, families, infrastructure, and hope; people have been stripped of all but the innate, biological imperative to survive, which is a primal, basic, “animal” instinct. In such an environment, the “rules” of civilization hardly apply. Add to that the complexity of the rules of state, which direct that fiscal resources be expended for protective measures for businesses and economic assets rather than for aid for helpless citizens, men and women and children who find themselves at the mercy of a “state” that does not care about their welfare and which may shoot them for perceived acts of desperation.

Five years ago, humanitarian groups from around the world would be mobilized to help. The US military would be there to help. Today, however, economic and political constraints limit and/or hinder such, so the Phillipines are left to themselves, to do as they will. One thing is certain: “things” will never be the same again.

God help us all.

What happened in Phyllipines, is not only from the field of Weather or Climate Changes…..To each Change in the Weather, there can be a “precaution” to take, whether this natural event or another natural event, will happen….This time, the “Natural Disaster”, which happened to these People, has as a result a “destruction” of a “society”, and this phyllipiny society which has been harmed, is not so small…, the destruction of the masses of animal, the destruction of the “marines’ life” Inside the water, and all that , is leading to the destruction of almost all the biggest Islands , Inside Phyllipines…..It has, therefore being destroyed, “financially” speaking, “economically” speaking, and with the deaths of thousands of people, all the “Institutions” of the Country, such as schools, educational Institutions, even Universities, or medical Institutions”…..The Phyllipines is standing now, in front of a Calamity, which has attacked her as a Society, with all what this term includes….Now it is the “function-role” of the International Community, to act, and react, facing that “disaster” which is not theirs now, but which can “attack them ” one day… The International Community, (including Israel) has to extand her help, not only just now for “rescuing, and treating , and giving humanitarianaid and medicines”, but too, to help The Phyllipines, to restore her Own Social Life, Social Development as scientific as any other Social Develoment which has been harmed, and to restore once again all what they had, and has not anymore……It is the kind of Help, needed, now……
