Human Colony Collapse Disorder: The Top 10 Countdown To Our Own Extinctionselfnews Post While we believe in the inherent goodness of the vast majority of people, as well as the unlimited potential of each and every individual to bring light into a dark world, we also cant ignore some very disturbing facts. We previously have pointed to earth changes as being valid existential threats, while pointing out that some man-made activities such as fracking and HAARP certainly could further exacerbate some of them. However, any one of the following human creations may send us into an irrevocable tailspin that could wipe us out before any asteroid or mega volcano arrives. We can also speculate about whether any or all of the below are the work of elite eugenicists, as some of them have indicated such intentions openly. Regardless, the fact remains that unless we can elevate our mindset to how we can more properly utilize our technological evolutioninstead of permit developments that threaten our survival whether mistaken or intended,we will continue careening down a very destructive current path. 9. Chemical additives The range and volume of chemical additives in our food, air and water is staggering. Substances like high-fructose corn syrup which contains mercury; sodium fluoride (literally a hazardous waste linked to the #1 cause of death); Aspartame; the excitotoxinmonosodium glutamate; BPA; aluminum and other geoengineering fallout, as well as a mountain of chemicals within personal care and cleaning productsare leading to everything from increased cancers and debilitating syndromes to sterility. While many of these chemicals can be eradicated through education and better consumer choice, the ubiquitous nature of the poisoning (and sometimes secret nature) is nearly overwhelming . . . and cumulative. 8. Genetic Engineering GM seeds themselves do not represent life, but actual death, as they are programmed to beterminator seeds. This terminator capability now extends across the spectrum as GMOs interact with human genetics. The interaction already hasbeen linked to weight gain, organ failure, and the negative effects of higher levels of plant estrogens coming from the use of glyphosatefound in air, rain and rivers in the United States. Sterility by the third generation has been shown in a Russian study ofGMO-soy-fed hamsters. And this is only the tip of the iceberg in genetic modification, as Dr. Moreau-type experimentation of human/animal hybrids all over the world threatens to completely de-humanize our species. Genetic engineering has so many variables, and has been so thoroughly untested over the long term, that we can only conclude that it holds the potential for extreme lethality. 7. War War has been a recurring theme for as long as man has been around, and an unfortunate means of wiping out certain populations. With the advent of nuclear weapons, we are theoretically always just one stroke away from total annihilation. War also has been an insidious instrument for slow-kill weapons such as depleted uranium which already has entered the jet stream, affecting people far removed from any actual battlefield. The sad fact is that the weapons and methods of war have only become more widespread and more violent as our history has unfolded. A side effect is that the governments who wage war and impose the control mechanisms to maintain and justify their actions of political repression and genocide have become the #1 cause of unnatural death the current toll is well over 262 million people. These are the same power-mad people who have enough nuclear warheads at their disposal to destroy the planet many times over. 6. Robotic Replacements Mankinds acumen for technological advancement has created new weapons and systems of war which previously only had been imagined in works of science fiction. Well, that science fiction story is now part of the daily news cycle. Machine warfare has arrived with drone bombings taking place around the globe. Beyond simple remote-controlled war, autonomous systems have been developed that are capable of unilateral decision making based on computerized threat assessments. And they can self-replicate. What role is there for human beings once robotic systems have either gone awry through malfunction or have decided that humanity is the real threat after all. 5. Runaway Nanotech The ability to self-replicate takes on even more potentially disastrous consequences in the area of nanotech. There has been a fullcommitmentgiven by the U.S. government to fund all areas of nanotech including surveillance and security, which has given birth to micro drones that mimic the insect world, as well as smart dust in agriculture and beyond. Nanoparticles have already entered our food, appliances and clothing again without proper long-term testing, oversight, or consumer knowledge. Since nanoparticles have been proven to have caused brain damage in aquatic species, and nanotech has the capability to rewire the brain and permit smart devices to rewire themselves, we have to wonder what happens when this technology goes rogue. 4. Super Virus Inexplicably, scientists have reconstructed the genetic code ofThe Black Plague. This is just one possibility among a host of bioweapons (including mosquitoes) within labs around the planet that could unleash a civilization-ending super virus. Currently, there are over 1360 BSL-3s (biosafety labs) in the US, and while the CDC insists there are only 6 BSL-4s, the actual number appears far higher (Source). The BSLs are coded by their containment levels. BSL-4s handle the most dangerous bugs known to man; those for which there is no known cure. The BSL-3s deal with slightly less deadly germs, such as anthrax and plague. According to a report tendered by Edward Hammond, director of the now defunct Sunshine Project, there is no one providing oversight as to the type of research going on in these labs (Source). Intandem with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and all manner of fortified diseases, without proper controls and a whole lot of luck this could end life as we know it. 3. Bee Colony Collapse Anything that centrally affects the global food chain has the ability to cascade across all species, rapidly collapsing the dominoes until it reaches the species sitting at the top. Also known as Colony Collapse Disorder, an increasing body of evidence points to the effects of pesticides as a main culprit leading to bees evacuating their colonies, while genetic engineering also has raised concern among experts such as Jeffrey Smith. In fact, Monsanto has been implicated, and perhaps as a hedge Monsanto has bought one of the leading bee research firms. However, buying experts to deny what is happening is not going to change reality. The excellent report below summarizes where we stand: 76% of all food production and 84% of plant species rely on bees forpollination to nourish the food circle of life. And it turns out there is a smoking gun: 2. Oil Spills We have just reached the two-year anniversary of the BP oil disaster and all evidence points to a worsening situation: mutated fish, and a wide range of effects across the ecosystem of the Gulf. We would do well to remember that although this oil spill is the worst, there have been others around the world, and there surely will be more. The global interdependence of the food supply will lead to widespread contamination across the planet. How much can the environment take of corporate greed that sees true safety measures as being a threat to their bottom line, rather than a threat to all of humanity? 1. Fukushima This appears to be our most pressing threat, since it is not only far from over, but reactor 4, which has been weakened to a point of near collapse, contains over 1500 fuel rods, any one of which could kill billions if its plutonium is released. Independent experts are telling us that this will most assuredly lead to a near-extinction event for humanity. Meanwhile, the amount of radiation that already has been released on top of what is in our environment due to weapons of war and other reactor leaks is beginning to lead to physical signs across North America. Alaskan wildlife is showing signs of radiation poisoning, despite official denial; human cancer rates are spiking, and plant mutations are being recorded in Michigan. After governments have largely downplayed the situation by ignoring readings and raising radiation safety limits for food, a few are beginning to raise their voices in earnest to tell the world of a coming mass extinction event.

The above scenarios are grim, but it isimperativethat we face these very real threats and learn as much as we can so that we can avert disaster. Unfortunately, these human-created possibilities are too easily open for denial and self-delusion due to their largely hidden and silent nature, whereas a volcano, meteor, or pole shift cannot be actively ignored. The good news is that we can minimize or even reverse each and every one of these manufactured threats simply by becoming educated and sharing with others a message of courage, ingenuity and hope that is innate within our species.
