Mad Pele? Iceland erupts, China shakes, Israel

At least 110 people have been reported dead and hundreds more were injured after a magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck China’s northwestern province of Gansu overnight on Dec. 18, 2023. It was China’s deadliest quake in nearly a decade since 617 people died in August 2014 when Yunnan province was hit by a major earthquake. More: sc.mp/avp0


O, Pele, forgive us our sins. 😉
The goddess Pele must be very mad, mad at Israel for mass murder, oppression, and hypocrisy; mad at the planet and fuming through an outlet in Iceland and seismic activity in China; weeping over dry drought-stricken Los Angeles (the center of the world because of the hegemonic influence of Hollywood) with a slow-moving storm that poses flood threat to California. What does Pele want? Repentance? A virgin sacrifice? More business as usual?

The Southland is in for a dangerous dousing. We must be complicit in Israel's support.
First water then snow, slamming into the state which is normally sunny and dry for Xmas.
Chemtrails, sprayed over the past few days in crisscross patterns, ensure a deluge for dry streets.
Here's how much Israeli terrorists care about killing innocents
(TJDS) Jimmy Dore and Kurt Metzger break down war crimes visited upon Jewish Israeli by Israeli Jews of the IDF. When they do this to Arabs/Palestinians, no one cares. When they do it to European Jews, Israel blows up again against Netanyahu.


I misspoke. I was a hot, dumb Hollywood blond
Northwestern China hit by massive killer quake in freezing temperatures. Could it be, as Sharon Stone might ask, due to its criminal state oppression of ethnic Uyghurs, being forced to submit or face genocide like so many Tibetans? Of course, it would be silly, simplistic, and wrong to think that one thing immediately begets another. Samsara is very long, and there is time for bad karma to bear its bitter fruit. There is, however, such a thing as "collective karma," often too slow to save beings from their wrongdoing. For any Buddhist who doubts that, consider the fate of the Shakyas (Sakas, Scythians) in the Buddha's family clan. What became of them and why? They were slaughtered by their offended neighbors, this horror was later explained by being traced back to a time when many of them, having been born in each other's company as so often happens over the course of this long wandering on through samsara, they poisoned a river (apparently unintentionally), killing many fish. But isn't karma "intentional action"? Yes, the act, not the result. They intentionally poisoned the river; they did not intentionally kill the fish. The fish died as a result of their action, which made the results worse. It not only made it worse for individuals involved, it made the results catastrophic for them collectively. The working out of karma is an imponderable thing in detail but knowable in general.

Who in the world is Pele?
Girl fight: Kapiolani defying Pele (wiki)
In Hawaiian religion, Pele is the goddess of volcanoes and fire and the creator of the chain of over a thousand Hawaiian Islands.

Often referred to as "Madame Pele" or "Tūtū Pele" as a sign of respect, she is a well-known deity within Hawaiian mythology and is notable for her contemporary presence and cultural influence as an enduring figure from ancient Hawaii [1].

Epithets of the goddess include Pele-honua-mea ("Pele of the sacred land") and Ka wahine ʻai honua ("The earth-eating woman") [2].

In different stories talking about the goddess Pele, she was born from the female spirit named Haumea. This spirit is important when talking about Hawaiʻi's gods as she descended from Papa, or Earth Mother, and Wakea, Sky Father, both descendants of the supreme beings.

Pele is also known as "She who shapes the sacred land," spoken of in ancient Hawaiian chants [3, 4].

The first published stories about Pele were written by William Ellis [5].

According to legend, Pele lives in Halemaʻumaʻu of Kīlauea in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Kīlauea is a currently active volcano that is located on the island of Hawaiʻi and is still being extensively studied [6].

Many Hawaiians believe Kilauea to be inhabited by a "family of fire gods," one of the sisters being Pele who is believed to govern Kilauea and is responsible for controlling its lava flows [7].

There are several traditional legends associated with Pele in Hawaiian mythology. In addition to being recognized as the goddess of volcanoes, Pele is also known for her power, passion, jealousy, and capriciousness. She has numerous siblings... More + VIDEO

Iceland is exploding and vomiting molten earth
  • AT A GLANCE:
  • The eruption is just a couple of miles north of the town Grindavik.
  • The entire town of Grindavik was evacuated in November because of seismic activity.
  • Many evacuees are still living in temporary accommodations.
Iceland volcanic island that's still blackened
A​ large volcanic eruption is underway in southwestern Iceland, with semi-molten rock shooting high into the air in an area where scientists feared for weeks that such an event would take place.

I​t's happening about 2 miles north of the town of Grindavik, which had been evacuated last month amid fears that an eruption nearby was likely.

There are signs that Vikings were here.
Earthquakes left some homes damaged in the town, which also prompted evacuations. This type of eruption is not likely to send a large amount of ash into the air, and therefore, large-scale flight delays and cancellations are not expected.

The eruption is happening about 30 miles southwest of Iceland's capital, Reykjavik (home of chess), along the Reykjanes Peninsula.

There are signs of volcanic activity everywhere
Iceland’s Foreign Minister Bjarne Benediktsson said on X, formerly Twitter, that there were no disruptions of flights to and from Iceland and international flight corridors remain open. More
