(NaturalNews) EXCLUSIVE: Mainland Chinese dissidents have handed Natural News the following bombshell story. (Two minor updates / corrections are now included in this story, see below.)

The Tianjin explosion was waged as an act of "kinetic retaliation" by the Pentagon in response to China's currency war Yuan devaluation, according to dissident sources from mainland China. The Chinese government has put in place unprecedented secrecy surrounding the mysterious explosion, and aggressive police state tactics are now being invoked to control the flow of information surrounding this event.



"Last week's explosions sent massive fireballs into the sky and hurled burning debris across the industrial area at the world's 10th-largest port, burning out buildings and shattering windows kilometres away," reports the Daily Mail UK (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3200570/Mass-clean-China-blasts-trigger-cyanide-fears.html).

The Chinese government's official explanation for the explosion, which has now killed 114 people (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3200570/Mass-clean-China-blasts-trigger-cyanide-fears.html), is a complete whitewash. China is going to declare regional martial law in the next 18 days, Natural News has learned, in order to exercise total control over the movement of people and information.

The government has banned reporters from entering the area and has begun arresting bloggers who promote what the government calls "conspiracy theories" regarding the cause of the massive explosion.

Quote"After looking through the images of the Soviet nuclear tests, the new lake in China appears to have been made by a slightly sub surface burst of at least a 5 kiloton nuclear bomb...

This was NOT an accident and the fracture pattern around the crater proves a sub ground burst. If it was a sub ground burst, then a small nuclear weapon is the biggest possibility because once a nuke has to push dirt, the blinding flash will not happen.

A slightly subsurface detonation would explain why camera sensors did not get strange artifacts.

And if it was not a nuke, it was something else incredibly huge, but not a fuel air bomb because fuel air bombs will not leave craters."

Space-based kinetic weapons "dropped" onto targets are explained by Popular Science in this article from 2004 (http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2004-06/rods-god):

QuoteWhen instructed from the ground, the targeting satellite commands its partner to drop one of its darts. The guided rods enter the atmosphere, protected by a thermal coating, traveling at 36,000 feet per second--comparable to the speed of a meteor. The result: complete devastation of the target, even if it's buried deep underground.

"When required, these projectiles can be commanded to dive, singly or en masse, at targets on the Earth's surface, smashing into the victim at orbital speed. As the projectile's kinetic energy is released, the blast would be equivalent to a large conventional bomb," explains Armaghplanet.com (http://www.armaghplanet.com/blog/rods-from-god-a-terrifying-space-weapon.html).




Martial law will be declared across Beijing in the coming days, dissidents have told Natural News. Meanwhile, the Chinese government -- which runs a massive state-controlled firewall that snoops into all internet traffic and blocks VPN access -- has added "Tianjin" as a red flag keyword to its internet traffic filtering.

Local police raids have already begun at the locations of bloggers and independent journalists who have attempted to report true stories on what really happened at Tianjin. The Chinese government is engaged in a total cover-up.

Natural News has learned that the Chinese government is now setting up roadside checkpoints near and around both Tianjin and Beijing. Additional security measures now in place to control the movement of people include:

• All hotels are reporting details of visitors to the government, including passport numbers, nationalities, names and phone calls made from the rooms.

• Tourists who don't stay in hotels are now required to register with local police or risk arrest. The Chinese government has mandated that it must know the location of every person at all times.

• Red armbands are now being worn by workers to indicate they are serving as Stasi-like obedient police snitches. The red armbands indicate total obedience to the government, and the workers wearing them have all been trained in how to spot dissident behavior. It's China's version of "If you see something, say something" just as was pushed in the United States.

• In preparation for China's Sep. 3 celebration for the defeat of Japanese occupation -- it's the 70th anniversary -- China has banned Japanese writing in most of its large cities. Government propaganda runs 24/7, condemning the Japanese and the horrifying war crimes committed by Japanese soldiers against China. (It's true, the Japanese committed unimaginable atrocities such as mass-raping women and then chopping them into pieces with machetes to destroy the "evidence.")

• Helicopter patrols are now routinely witnessed across Beijing and Tianjin, where military choppers are flying in formation as a show of strength.

• Massive populations of laborers are now living in underground dwellings, underneath the clean, high-tech buildings of Beijing that seem like world-class architectural achievements.

(Update: Previously, this story stated "underground cities" but we have been corrected on this point and have updated the description to "underground dwellings." Essentially, they are below-ground mass housing basements.)









The first rainfall to wash over Tianjin since a series of blasts struck a warehouse in the Binhai district last week has sparked a new wave of concern as an unidentified white foam has appeared on the streets.



Some who made contact with it are reporting a burning sensation on their face and lips, while others are reporting a stinging sensation on their arms. Some have said they experienced an itchy sensation, according to a NetEase News report.

OK, Fellow Travelers on the Road of Life:

Was this anything more than what the Chinese government would have us believe?

Here are a few screen shots from various videos to help see things clearer. (Click to enlarge)

I still believe this is indeed retaliation for the devaluation, see Thailand attacks recent days.

But wouldn't the Chinese just come out and say, hey world "American attacked us with some iffy probably not Geneva convention approved weapon" ?
Right now, America needs the Chinese more then the Chinese need America.

I mean, they took our jobs? frig no, American( western) businesses where happy to outsource.

Interesting timing

KINETIC RETALIATION | Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis (http://www.groundzeromedia.org/kinetic-retaliation/)


On August 11, China's central bank devalued its tightly controlled currency, causing its biggest one-day loss in two decades. Gerald Celente of Trends magazine appeared on Ground Zero to announce that China has been rigging the game all along and that any kind of devaluing of currency or stocks or an economic sputter in China could plunge the United States economy as well.

The Chinese devalued their currency stating that the change would help drive the currency toward more market-driven movements. The move also signaled the government's growing worry about slow growth.

In the past, we have seen the rigging of the system by the world's flawed and fraudulent banking system at the expense of entire populations. Bank manipulations and money devaluing have sent economies into the bowels of hell, and poverty has been known to spark wars, fully funded by the banking systems that launder the money for criminal regimes.

A day later a terrible disaster struck China.




Two massive explosions in the port of Tianjin, northern China, killed more than a hundred people and left hundreds more injured and devastated large areas of the city.



It also left a huge crater in the ground.

The massive destruction was caught on a cell phone and the explosions were also felt as quakes registering 2.5 on the Richter scale.

The explosions took place at a warehouse at the port which contained hazardous and flammable chemicals, including calcium carbide, sodium cyanide, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate.

Officials insist it is not yet clear what triggered the blasts.

However, a website called Natural News has reported that Chinese dissidents are claiming that the "mainstream report" of the explosions is not the truth and that the truth is that the United States has fired the first shot in the war from space.

According to a Natural News story that has appeared in a recent Google news feed, the Tianjin explosion was waged as an act of "kinetic retaliation" by the Pentagon in response to China's currency war Yuan devaluation. The Chinese government has put in place unprecedented secrecy surrounding the mysterious explosion, and aggressive police state tactics are now being invoked to control the flow of information surrounding this event.

Immediately following the massive explosion, the Chinese government began flying "black helicopters" in a formation across Beijing. The news site has provided pictures of American military helicopters patrolling the area looking over the damage that was caused in the explosions.




They also report that China is going to declare regional martial law in the next 18 days, in order to exercise total control over the movement of people and information.

The government has banned reporters from entering the area and has begun arresting bloggers who promote what the government calls "conspiracy theories" regarding the cause of the massive explosion.

If a conspiracy theory has already been made, it would be the idea that there was an attack on Tianjin and that an alleged "rod" from a space-based platform was dropped on the chemical plant as a stern warning shot from the United States, which is angered at the idea that China is on the verge of announcing its own gold-backed currency while declaring a fire sale on U.S. debt holdings.




The "Rod of God" weapon deployment by the U.S. Pentagon, is being said to be America's "shot across the bow" to send a powerful warning message to China while disguising the attack as a domestic chemical explosion.

We are constantly hearing rumors about the millions of dollars that are secretly funneled into Pentagon projects that are blasted into space during secret launches. Their payloads are classified and while the final frontier used to be a means to generate hope and accomplishment it is now that dark void that has become a junkyard and a potential mine filed for weapons and payloads for war.

Ground Zero also reported Friday that Popular Science already blew the whistle on the secret space program and that Russia, China and the United States were already prepared for a space warfare scenario and that this would indicate that there has always been a secret space program that would fight wars in space, but also create a cause for orbital bombardment.




If we look back in history at proposed space weapons programs, we can see that there have always been plans in the works to make space the perfect place to keep weapons in order to have an advantage at first strike capabilities.

However, the tricky part is setting up weapons that don't violate nuclear treaties. The answer to this problem is to create weapons that don't have a nuclear payload but can do the same amount of damage.

This was accomplished with a program called 'Project Thor' (http://www.closedtruth.com/not-meteors-but-a-us-space-weapon-hit-russia-and-cuba/), a space-based weapons program – or at least an effective facsimile – that is believed to be secretly employed above us.

'Project Thor' (http://www.geniusstuff.com/blog/death-metal-from-space/) was named after the hammer-wielding Norse god who could rain metal death down from heaven as he pleased.



'Project Thor' is basically summed up as "Rods from God" or "an orbiting tungsten telephone pole with small fins and a computer in the back for guidance." Once given the launch command, a satellite would drop the 'pole,' which would then speed up until going at orbital velocity, around 10 miles a second. At this speed, when it hit a ground based target, it would have the explosive equivalent of a small-yield nuclear weapon and would also have great penetrating power because of its long, thin profile.

This program is the first example of what we now call "kinetic bombardment," using dense objects traveling at very high speeds to eliminate targets without the need of explosives, no need for nuclear bombs. The force would be similar on a smaller scale to that of a comet or meteor impact on the planet.

If a Kinetic Kill vehicle was used in Tianjin, it most certainly was a devastating test of might. The initial impact an explosion destroyed six city blocks.

On August 16th, the New York Times reported that the Obama administration has delivered a warning to Beijing about the presence of Chinese government agents operating secretly in the United States.

The New York Times also reported that The American officials report that Chinese law enforcement agents covertly in this country are part of Beijing's global campaign to hunt down and repatriate Chinese fugitives and, in some cases, recover allegedly ill-gotten gains.

The Chinese government has officially named the effort Operation Fox Hunt (http://www.scmp.com/news/china/policies-politics/article/1768993/team-behind-chinas-operation-fox-hunt-revealed).

The warning from President Obama, which was delivered to Chinese officials in recent weeks demanded a halt to the activities and reflects escalating anger in Washington about intimidation tactics used by the agents.

It comes at a time of growing tension between Washington and Beijing on a number of issues: from the computer theft of millions of government personnel files that American officials suspect was directed by China, to China's crackdown on civil liberties, and of course the devaluation of the currency.

There has been commentary that this attack, if it was an attack, has similar earmarks of the attack on Japan in the 1940's.

For those following the Shemitah theories, the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan also occurred during a Shemitah year, in the month of August, 1945, exactly 70 years ago. This is precisely TEN Shemitah cycles ago, or what might be called a "deca-Shemitah." Of course many people are saying that this Shemitah year will trigger a Black Swan event that will devalue the economy and plunge the world into war by this Fall.

It is also an interesting aside to report that one of China's supercomputers was forced to shut down for safety reasons. Though Liu Guangming, director of the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin, said the Tianhe-1A supercomputer was running smoothly and protected by a reinforced room, it was still temporarily shutdown.

Tianhe-1A can perform 2.57 quadrillion computing operations per second and was recognized as the world's fastest computing system in 2010.




Does anyone remember the real time website norsecorp.com (http://norsecorp.com) where we saw real time attacks from China during the glitch that happened that had New York Stock Exchange shut down for three hours?

Elana Freeland, who recently published the book Chemtrails, HARRP, and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth (http://www.zengardner.com/chemtrails-haarp-full-spectrum-dominance-planet-earth/) and is presently writing a book about the electromagnetic space fence has taken a keen interest in this story and is reporting that the U.S. government recently denied China access to technology needed to upgrade the Tianhe-2 supercomputer.

Last April, the IEEE Spectrum reported:

Quote"When China wanted to upgrade Tianhe-2, currently the world's fastest supercomputer, it turned to U.S. chipmaker Intel. But the U.S. government has blocked Intel from helping with the tech upgrade and blacklisted several Chinese supercomputing centers over concerns for their involvement in nuclear weapons development.

Experts warn that in the long run such a move may hurt the business of U.S. chipmakers and encourage China to speed up its homegrown chip development.

The U.S. Commerce Department initially denied Intel an export license for supplying chips to China's supercomputing centers last fall, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Commerce Department followed up by posting a notice on 18 February that listed the Chinese supercomputing centers as having been 'involved in activities contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.'

Specifically, the notice cited those centers' involvement in 'nuclear explosive activities' that could cover anything from research and development to testing."

Although the denial of services to China could be seen as an attempt to hurt the rising superpower, some experts believe it will actually have the reverse effect of helping the Chinese economy and hurting the U.S. economy.

Elana Freeland asks "Is there any significance to the proximity of the explosion to the supercomputers?"




The explosion also comes just days after the U.S. Department of Defense accused the Chinese government of hacking "the personal emails of all top national security and trade officials." While the source of this claim was reported by NBC News as "anonymous government sources," it does make sense that China would attempt to hack the U.S. as both nations are currently in a struggle for global hegemony."

The Guardian reported that:

Quote"These attacks – among the more than 600 hacks attributed by officials to hackers working for the Chinese government – sought personal email info from top administration officials and began in 2010. NBC's source said the hacks were still going on but would not name any of the officials targeted."

The alleged Chinese hack comes after another breach attributed to hackers working for the Russian government. Again, the hacker claims come from "anonymous government sources" speaking to NBC.

Wired reported that:

Quote"The anonymous officials say the intrusion took place around July 25th and affected around 4,000 Joint Chiefs of Staff personnel (both military and civilian). It's not entirely clear why the attack is being attributed to Russia. The Pentagon responded by shutting down the entire unclassified email system and internet during the investigation. The system has been shut down for around two weeks."

Meanwhile The CONtrail" internet site from Australia (http://thecontrail.com/forum/topics/more-than-200-nuclear-and-biochemical-experts-sent-to-tianjin-chi?commentId=4744723%3AComment%3A672894) notified news groups the following:




Another news site from the United States called the Unhived Mind published pictures of a "lake crater" left behind by the explosion and states that the crater looks like it could have been made by a 5 kiloton nuclear blast.

Quote"After looking through the images of the soviet nuclear tests, the new lake in China appears to have been made by a slightly sub surface burst of at least a 5 kiloton nuclear bomb..."

This was NOT an accident and the fracture pattern around the crater proves a sub ground burst. If it was a sub ground burst, then a small nuclear weapon is the biggest possibility because once a nuke has to push dirt, the blinding flash will not happen. A slightly subsurface detonation would explain why camera sensors did not get strange artifacts.

And if it was not a nuke, it was something else incredibly huge, but not a fuel air bomb because fuel air bombs will not leave craters."—"The Unhived Mind." (http://theunhivedmind.com/UHM/)

Popular Science explained that a space based "Rod from God" could simulate a nuclear explosion:

Quote"When required these projectiles can be commanded to dive, singly or en masse, at targets on the Earth's surface, smashing into the victim at orbital speed. As the projectile's kinetic energy is released, the blast would be equivalent to a large conventional bomb."

Furthermore:

"When instructed from the ground, the targeting satellite commands its partner to drop one of its darts. The guided rods enter the atmosphere, protected by a thermal coating, traveling at 36,000 feet per second–comparable to the speed of a meteor. The result: complete devastation of the target, even if it's buried deep underground."

The Pentagon in the past have denied that these weapons exist.




However, the "U.S. Air Force Transformation Flight Plan," (http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/af/af_trans_flightplan.pdf) published by the Air Force in November 2003, references "hypervelocity rod bundles" in its outline of future space-based weapons, and in 2002, another report from RAND, "Space Weapons and Earth Wars" (http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1209.html) dedicated entire sections to the technology's usefulness.




There are other interesting things to consider as well.

Back in 2008, President Bush had asked the Pentagon to come up with a plan (http://www.ucsusa.org/sites/default/files/legacy/assets/documents/nwgs/a-history-of-ASAT-programs_lo-res.pdf) to destroy a dead satellite that was heading to Earth. Many observers said a "shoot-down" was unnecessary because such objects falling to Earth typically burn up when re-entering the atmosphere.

Unless, of course, the satellite was possibly carrying 'hypervelocity rod bundles' made of tungsten. Out of all of the metals, tungsten has the highest melting point (3,422 °C) (6,192 °F), lowest vapor pressure, and the highest tensile strength. Tungsten has the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion of any pure metal. That means tungsten rods don't burn up speeding through the Earth's atmosphere to the intended target.


Drone Footage of Massive Explosion Site in Tianjin, China (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUDL9NE-y1A)

If the satellite was carrying kinetic weapons back then, there would be a definite reason to shoot it down. At the time, the shooting down of the satellite was "suspect" and the military said that they needed to eliminate the possibility of hydrazine, a toxic chemical, dispersing over a populated area.

Many speculated that the reason why China and Russia were prompted to monitor the situation was that the countries were concerned about the missile and whether or not it was in reality a Pentagon weapons test.

After the shooting down the dead satellite, a United States policy on incoming near-earth objects was changed to state that all things that fall from the skies are classified.

U.S. military policy explicitly states that, "incoming space debris, bolides and fireballs, are classified secret and that details about them falling in United States airspace are not to be released to the public."

Now this policy was conveniently enacted at a time where Obama was monitoring China and their space activities. At the time, he was in support of President George W. Bush's plan for space exploration. China at the time was planning its moon exploration program.

After killing budgets for any moon or Mars launch, money was poured into the development and launch of surveillance satellites. The project cost the United States $10-billion dollars plus.

It was a Space-Based Infrared System that provides a more detailed infrared picture of Earth for battlefield surveillance, early-warning alerts and the U.S. missile defense program.



The United States own at least 500 satellites alone, as many as the rest of the world's satellites combined. It is believed 100 of those U.S. satellites are used for military purposes.

Is this a coincidence?

Most of the surveillance project is classified and I am sure the Pentagon would be uncomfortable if anything just happened to fall from the sky that would reveal that there is most certainly a secret space program.

So this Chinese explosion is now becoming a classified story.

Martial law and checkpoints have already begun in Beijing.

If this is part of a covert space war between China and the United States, we may see an escalation that would ultimately devastate the economies of both nations.

It would also be the first shot fired in the metaplanetary war (http://www.groundzeromedia.org/metaplanetary-warfare/).








Public anger grows as China confirms hundreds of tonnes of cyanide were held at blast-hit port of Tianjin | Peace and Freedom (https://johnib.wordpress.com/2015/08/16/public-anger-grows-as-china-confirms-hundreds-of-tonnes-of-cyanide-were-held-at-blast-hit-port-of-tianjin/)

Families of firefighters clash with police as officials acknowledge hundreds of tonnes of chemicals were stored at one of the nation's busiest ports.

Chinese officials confirmed on Sunday that hundreds of tonnes of highly poisonous cyanide were being stored at a warehouse in the port city of Tianjin  when it was hit by explosions last week, as authorities vowed to investigate whether any officials were guilty of dereliction of duty.

The developments came as the death toll from the disaster, which has crippled one of the world's busiest ports, rose to 112 dead and 95 still missing – 85 of them firefighters who  responded to the initial blaze.

Fears of toxic contamination have grown and anger at a lack of transparency by the authorities has intensified, prompting protests by families of the missing firemen.

Shi Luze, chief of staff of the Beijing military region, said cyanide had been identified at two locations in the blast zone.

"The volume was several hundred tonnes, according to preliminary estimates," he said.

Very interesting. The pictures show more devastation than
what is shown on MSM.

This may be related, or maybe not. Posting for the record.

I suppose you have been looking at the wrong MSM. :)

One of the things I find curious is the time between both explosions.
Exactly 30 seconds. ( might need 30 seconds to re-calibrate)

Then again, according to the China Earthquake Administration's official account on Weibo, the first explosion was registered at a magnitude of 2.3 and the second at 2.9.

If a rod of tungsten would be fired from space, wouldn't the magnitude be higher? ( Just asking here )
Also shouldn't there be some kind of liquefaction happening around the hole?


And again, if this was an attack, why isn't China calling the US out on it?

Quote from: Senduko on August 20, 2015, 11:53:06 AM

I agree, we should see signs of a fast moving object having hit the ground, besides the fact that the object itself would be visible (I think) as a meteor.

Perhaps, or maybe have not looked deep enough to find    :)

So then what is causing the explosions in the US. and elsewhere. The train explosions seem odd.How about the Wash Motel 6 explosion. Remember the house that exploded into toothpick sized debris?

Maybe some sinkholes are a weapon at work.

I doubt they would use such a weapon on some small clandestine missions.  Say Bunkers in Iraq or something but not some train or motel.

Practice, have to have some target practice  :P

First thing that crossed my mind when this broke the news was space based weapons. Considering they can be used pretty much anywhere anytime...

I dunno, Dr.Beter has made me paranoid, rightly so.

Tianjin, China, cyber attacks and 'computationally amplified warfare' - Health Ranger warns of China's plan to destroy America from 7000 miles away (http://www.naturalnews.com/050863_cyber_warfare_China_destruction_of_America.html)

Thursday, August 20, 2015
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

(NaturalNews) As a follow-up to our exclusive Natural News story on the Tianjin explosion in China (http://www.naturalnews.com/050816_Tianjin_explosion_space-based_weapons_military_retaliation.html) -- which also covered military helicopters in Beijing and "kinetic retaliation" by the Pentagon using exotic space weapons -- I'm offering additional analysis of the global war that's already under way (and where it's headed).

There are two things to disclose up front. First, make no mistake: I am pro America in all this. China is an evil, communist regime that enslaves its people and commits heinous crimes against humanity (such as the organ harvesting of political prisoners).

Although I am extremely critical of the corrupt Obama regime currently in power in Washington, I am 100% pro-America and pro-freedom (and especially pro-Texas). I offer this information in the hope that America can defend itself against the crippling attacks that will soon be unleashed by China.

Secondly, I thought it was common knowledge that I speak conversational Mandarin Chinese and previously lived in Asia, but it seems a lot of people weren't aware of that. I can only speak and listen to Mandarin, I cannot read it, so I rely on translators to help me read Chinese documents. (Documents from mainland China are written in "simplified" Chinese, while those from Taiwan are mostly written in traditional Chinese.)

For many years, I have maintained contact with dissident sources in mainland China (http://www.naturalnews.com/China.html), and while they aren't 100% accurate, they have proven reliable over time.

Mainland China, much like Google News, censors NaturalNews.com and does not allow anyone to access this website.

The Chinese government operates a massive censorship firewall which forbids the transmission of any content that's critical of the government. (Similar to the NY Times or the Washington Post, both of which are state-run media mouthpieces for the criminal regime in Washington D.C

As a result, Chinese dissidents risk their lives to bring you the information you're reading here. China just recently arrested 15,000 people for so-called "internet crimes." (http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/251367-china-arrests-15000-for-violating-internet-security) Such "crimes" include writing a blog that reports the truth about Chinese government corruption.


Based on what I've learned from multiple sources, the Chinese game plan for America consists of a triple-layered simultaneous surprise attack -- an "electronic Pearl Harbor" -- as described below. For the record, this information is gleaned from a combination of things I've been told, things I've read and the exercising of "connect the dots" logic that anticipates likely tactical moves targeting the United States.

Here's the triple-layer assault America may soon face:

Layer #1) An attack on the dollar and U.S. debt instruments.

QuoteChina is gearing up to announce its own gold-backed currency. This will be accompanied by a fire sale of U.S. debt on the global market, driving up U.S. borrowing costs across the globe, thereby accelerating America's Ponzi-style debt demise.

The primary leverage point here is to destroy faith in the dollar (and the credit rating of the U.S. Treasury) at the same time the Yuan is declared to be backed by gold, which the Chinese government has been secretly accumulating to the tune of thousands of tons over the last 15 years or so. (Don't believe the official numbers of reported gold holdings. They are intentionally misleading.)

Layer #2) A massive cyber warfare (http://www.naturalnews.com/cyber_warfare.html) attack on the U.S. infrastructure.

QuoteIn military strategy language, we often hear the term "asymmetrical warfare" which usually refers to terror-style attacks achieving a seemingly disproportionate psychological or tactical impact on the target population. However, China's cyber warfare strategy goes far beyond asymmetrical warfare.

They are gearing up to unleash what can only be called computationally amplified warfare which relies simultaneously on the power of computational prowess (on the attacking side) and the rapid collapse of computational weaknesses (on the target side) to achieve speed-of-light domination over the relative field of battle (which is now the realm of interconnected computers rather than cities, roads and bridges).

Likely targets of this "computationally amplified warfare" include:

• Nuclear power plants
• Water pumping stations and treatment facilities
• Transportation and logistics companies
• Oil refineries
• Credit card processors and transactional commerce hubs
• Hospitals and clinics
• Emergency responders (fire stations, police, Sheriff's offices)
• Government (agencies, regulators and coordinators)
• Military organizations and weapons suppliers
• Communications hubs, including satellites and point-to-point ground-based transmission networks

If you consider that cyber attacks may succeed against some percentage of these targets at the same time China is selling off U.S. debt, denouncing the dollar and disrupting financial transactions nationwide, you begin to get a sense of the total social chaos that can be unleashed through such an attack.

Layer #3) An attack on U.S. military satellites to maximize the disruption of military communications, banking transactions, emergency services and other systems that depend on satellite communications.

QuoteSatellites are fragile things. Destroying them does not take much in terms of actual mass; it only takes targeting capabilities to direct small mass objects into the orbital trajectory of the satellite itself.

This is surprisingly easy to accomplish by any nation that possesses orbital launch capabilities.

Communications satellites move in predictable orbits with only minor deviations. Intersecting those orbits with small pellets of tungsten moving at ridiculously high velocities is ridiculously easy for any advanced nation to achieve.

Because impact energy equals mass times velocity squared, even very small pellets of mass can shred satellites upon impact. (A simple BB from a BB gun can destroy a billion-dollar satellite if their two paths intersect at sufficient relative velocity.)

Why tungsten? It's cheap and has very high density per volume, with isotopes achieving atomic masses of 182, 184 and 186, if I'm remembering my lab tables correctly. Common lead isotopes, by comparison, have atomic masses in the range of 206 - 208.

An obvious military strategy for America's enemies would be to destroy U.S. military and communications satellites at the same time the cyber war (http://www.naturalnews.com/war.html) and currency war is launched. Cutting off satellite communications will paralyze the U.S. military, shut down banking transactions and cripple much of the nation's transactional and media infrastructure.

The aim is to cause maximum confusion and disruption at the same time that stocks are crashing, banks are bleeding and debt instruments are collapsing.

From China's point of view, it also doesn't hurt that such an attack would likely disable the national EBT card transaction system, sending nearly 50 million Americans into mass riots across America's major cities, demanding their government food stamp money.

In addition, China obviously hopes to destroy the Pentagon's secret space weapons (i.e. "Rods of God" orbital weapons) which are now believed to have rained down kinetic Hell upon Tianjin as a warning against currency manipulations. While such satellites may be devastating weapons against immobile ground targets, they have no defenses against orbital projectiles themselves. All the Pentagon's satellites, ultimately, are "sitting ducks" in orbit.

As it turns out, it is far easier to destroy satellites than it is to build them, so China's strategy of destroying satellites is bound to out-pace America's ability to replace them. The destruction of satellites also has the "benefit" (from China's point of view) or polluting orbital paths with space debris, effectively creating "no fly zones" at high Earth orbit. Any object crossing into such a zone is likely to be obliterated by debris.

I discuss each of these in more detail at the NaturalNews (http://www.naturalnews.com/050863_cyber_warfare_China_destruction_of_America.html) website.

QuoteThere are two things to disclose up front. First, make no mistake: I am pro America in all this. <China/USA/Africa/Europe> is an evil, <preferred political  ideology> regime that enslaves its people and commits heinous crimes against humanity (such as the organ harvesting of political prisoners).


Although I am extremely critical of the corrupt Obama regime currently in power in Washington, I am 100% pro-America and pro-freedom (and especially pro-Texas). I offer this information in the hope that America can defend itself against the crippling attacks that will soon be unleashed by China.

America is pretty much bought up by China, why would they destroy their own property?
Also, at this point pro-America and Pro-freedom should be considered an oxymoron.


China is evil, but the time America could take the moral high ground on judging that are long gone.

The Nuking of Tianjin – Frame by Frame Analysis | Veterans Today (http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/08/26/the-nuking-of-tianjin-frame-by-frame-analysis/)

by Ian Greenhalgh, Britain, with Jeff Smith, USA
August 26, 2015


In the end, the warehouses that "blew up" are still standing but nothing else exists...



Residents of Tianjin captured the explosions on their mobile phones and thus provided us with a piece of video that is both shocking and informative.

Jeff Smith has broken this video down in order to analyze the events with an expert eye. It is clear that there are two major blasts plus a number of much smaller secondary explosions. This is just the first step in breaking down the events in detail in order to determine what actually happened.

This is China's 9-11 and like that event, has untold complexity that will need to be carefully unravelled. We aim to be ahead of the curve on this so that good, solid, truthful and scientifically accurate information is available before the inevitable legions of paid for disinfo entities begin to flood the internet with nonsense.

The total time frame from first blast to second blast was less than 1 minute with about 30 seconds in between the two major blasts. The frames are at two second intervals.

As you can clearly see the blast and plasma fireball was over 1,000 feet in size as compared to the high-rise buildings height of 500 feet. The mushroom cloud was up to 2,000 feet in height; however the top portion was masked by the night sky.

Scintillation white-out of the camera optics occurs at frames 4 and 19.

Frames 1 to 3 shows a perfect small fireball starting proving that the first blast was just above ground level. Frame 2 is the detonation blast.








Scintillation white-out of the camera optics occurs at frames 4 and 19.





Frames 5 and 6 show secondary explosions and mushroom cloud formation.





Frame 20 – major secondary blast.



Frame 22  – classic mushroom cloud burst. Over 2,000 feet high. This was more than a chemical factory blowing up. It looks just like a multiple cruse missile salvo attack from sea.



Here is the commentary for the above video.

A total of seven or eight explosions rocked the Tianjin blast site Saturday, prompting armed police to evacuate residents within a three-kilometer radius. Wednesday's double blast at a chemical warehouse killed 112 people and injured more than 700.

Fires broke out at the blast site in the Chinese port city at 11:40 a.m. local time Saturday, according to state news agency Xinhua. Seven or eight blasts from three separate locations were reportedly heard at the scene.??

Following the fire, police began evacuating those within a three-kilometer radius, saying they were acting on "orders from higher authorities," Beijing News reported.

This was NOT an accident and the fracture pattern around the crater proves a sub ground burst. If it was a sub ground burst, then a small nuclear weapon is the biggest possibility because once a nuke has to push dirt, the blinding flash will not happen.

A slightly subsurface detonation would explain why camera sensors did not get strange artifacts. And if it was not a nuke, it was something else incredibly huge, but not a fuel air bomb because fuel air bombs will not leave craters.

A little bit more of a detailed explanation: If the blast happened at ground level, almost all of the energy would go upwards and the blast would not have made a large deep crater, especially one large enough and deep enough to make that lake. If you look to the right hand side of the lake, you can see fracture patterns in the earth, which were caused by the earth being compressed sideways and not downwards. This would only be done with a sub surface blast.

After the blast, the earth bounced back towards the center of the lake, which opened up the cracks.??

Look closely at the ground around the lake. Those who claimed it was not a nuke cited the fact that if it was, everything around the crater would be vaporized and wiped clean.

Now that we have the real crater pic from the big blast, YEP, it matches that perfectly. Take a look at the containers laying in the lower left corner of this picture – they have no paint or color, which means they had the surfaces incinerated by intense heat only a nuke or other super weapon would reach.

If this was a carbide blast, they would be black or have their original colors to some degree, complete color change to only gray proves this explosion was FREAKING HOT.

That type and size of blast crater will only happen if a massive bomb goes off a few feet underground, such as a tactical nuke in a drain pipe which leaves scant few alternative options (see Rod from God), No chemical blast did that, PERIOD.

The building that is still standing in the upper right hand side of the frame is a typical example of what is left after a nuclear test, concrete buildings seldom get leveled, but they do get gutted by nuclear blasts. Just look through pictures of the soviet nuclear tests and you will see this.

Bottom line? The aftermath is completely consistent with a nuclear blast.

I think a glue fire was started as an excuse for this huge blast, which came considerably later. And who knows what made the first big blast, or smaller blasts that led up to it, but I am confident it was a show and not an accident. They wanted this filmed from all angles and set up the show to make sure people would be recording when the big one went off.

If there were lots of little blasts before that, why was there not a single small blast after the big one? That is when I would think the small blasts should have started if this entire scenario was not contrived from the start.

Problem solved....

This is OBVIOUSLY a DRAGON running amuck  :P

Everything is on fire and no one cares
By Mark Morford on August 24, 2015

(http://blog.sfgate.com/morford/files/2015/08/fire-beauty.jpg)

QuoteThis year, there were wildfires.

Not the typical wildfires, mind you. Not the normal smattering of (relatively) easily controlled seasonal blazes that nature herself always ignites to help purge and clear; I mean all the massive, drought-amplified, state-engulfing wildfires you've been hearing about all season long – nearly all of them larger, earlier and more frequent than any time in modern history, ranging from a few thousand acres to the largest in the country, the Soda fire, currently engulfing upwards of 265,000 acres in southern Idaho, which joins with all the other Pacific Northwest fires burning throughout Washington, Oregon and Montana. And here you thought just California was ablaze.

Do you know about Alaska? Nearly five million acres have burned throughout that unusually hot, dry state this year, which is a record, which is something like the size of Connecticut (combined), which is more staggering than your heart can process. Go ahead, try it. And then add in Canada's staggering wildfires, and you hit upwards of 11 million scorched acres – that's 17,000 square miles, and still going strong. That's terrifying.

The scariest part? Fire season, historically speaking, doesn't even begin until September. Did you know 2015 is already officially the hottest year ever recorded on Earth? Did you know Alaska recorded its hottest month ever, in 91 years of record keeping, in May? Or that Washington's biggest fire could keep burning until it snows? The worst – as nearly every scientist, climatologist, environmentalist in the world is all too sick of saying these days – is yet to come.

Here's the thing: It wasn't just weird. It's not just "an unusually hot and dry season." You can feel it in your very cells: this is all part of a increasingly vicious, mean-ass vortex of accelerating evidence that the planet and all its animals – of which we are merely one – are under a potentially fatal stress like no other time in modern history.

Two motorists injured in gas leak explosion on Dort Highway in Flint
June 07, 2015

(http://imgick.mlive.com/home/mlive-media/width960/img/flint-journal/photo/2015/06/06/-d5cdb4399a779235.JPG)
Flames soar above a railroad bridge as a gas leak erupts in flame after an explosion that ignited at about 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, 2015 on Dort Highway in Flint. A portion of Dort Highway between Lapeer Road and Court Street was shut down for the afternoon by Flint Police for safety precaution. Jake May | MLive.com

QuoteFLINT, MI -- As flames shot from a gas leak explosion out across Dort Highway Saturday, business owners in the Court Plaza came out to see what was happening.

Justice Wheeler works at Beverly's Cakes and Catering in the plaza. She said she didn't hear the explosion when it happened and was surprised by the enormity of the blaze.

At times, the fire raged across Dort Highway, with flames shooting up over the overpass and railroad bridge.

Police at the scene confirmed two motorists were injured in the explosion. They were transported to Hurley Medical Center, where they were listed in non-critical stable condition, according to a news release from the City of Flint.

Justice said her main concern was the well-being of the motorists who were injured, but she was also nervous to have such a large fire nearby given the circumstances.

"I was nervous. I thought, 'What if another pipe line busts again near us?'" she said.

Around noon Saturday, June 6, crews working on the Interstate 69 bridge were digging near the construction and hit a gas main, said Consumers Energy Spokesman Brian Wheeler. At 1 p.m. the gas ignited and burned until around 4:18 p.m. when Wheeler said Consumers Energy crews cut off gas to the leak.

Agreed 100% I was using PECON as an example of explosions happen and that event was  a 3.5 in the Richter scale. Heres an Article from the LV SUN May4,1998 http://lasvegassun.com/news/1998/may/04/plant-safety-a-priority-ten-years-after-pepcon-bla/

I just don't understand how people are automatically in their minds as stated in a comment thinking this was a space weapon that was launched on China as soon as they saw this event took place.

Why in the hell would the US bomb China right now ?? This would be the beginning of WW3 their would be no cover-up the alleged retaliation which took place in Japan makes no sense either.. Why wouldn't they just attempt to hit The US ?? Why Japan.. I understand its an American ammunition base in Japan.

There's absolutely NO Facts whatsoever that support what's been presented here at all. Yes a massive explosion took place in China it may be a direct result of something China themselves were doing or an accident of some nature. China are Communists by nature everything's a secret. This does not mean its a conspiracy and The US used a Space Weapon to send a message.

NAFTA completely screwed The United States and we will never recover from its ramifications ever.

One major factor contributing to the magnitude of these fires is decades of fire service policy of not allowing any forest fires to burn.

Fire is a natural part of the forest eco cycle. It not only removes old dying fuel, but also gets rid of over population of such pests as the bark beetle, responsible for many stands of trees stripped of bark and bleached white, soon to die in the southern part of my state.

Fire causes pine cones to burst like bullets and rocket their seeds to new meadows.   

It also clears open space with sunshine for new plants to grow.

So the forest service policy of zero fires, while well intention-ed, is now showing mans attempt to do better than mother nature has some serious drawbacks.

Sure property and lives must be protected, but forests must be allowed to burn naturally to keep fuel levels consistently to a minimum.

Forests right now are unnaturally loaded to the hilt with fuel, resulting in the huge blazes we now see.

Quite true..

A forest left to burn on its own, the fire sweeps through quickly and big trees get scorched but do not die... and the first rain after a fire the forest exploded in fresh green

But I thought we have been doing controlled burns for that reason..

Or was that in another time line I was in?

Seems they Talk the Talk...

Controlled Burning

QuoteHistory
The historic suppression of fire has resulted in a lack of periodic, natural fire in our forest. The absence of these low intensity fires has increased the risk of large fire events and has negatively impacted the health of our forests. As part of an effort to use fire as a resource management tool, the Daniel Boone National Forest is reviewing existing resource management and fire management plans to develop an integrated fire planning strategy.
Controlled fires are used on public lands in order to improve forest health, and reduce large wildfires. Controlled fire is used only under appropriate conditions and at appropriate sites. The Forest Service has identified areas where controlled fire can be used as a management tool.
Historic Role of Fire:
Fire plays an important and critical role in influencing vegetation and the lifecycles of trees and plant communities. Many species are dependent on fire.
The historic suppression of fire has resulted in a lack of periodic, natural fire in our forest. The absence of periodic, low intensity fires have increased the risk of large fire events and has negatively impacted the health of our forests.
Due to our successful prevention and suppression efforts, fire patterns were markedly altered during the past century. In the absence of fire, massive insect and disease epidemics and various other forest health problems have proliferated.
Need for Controlled Burning:
Controlled burning will help the Forest Service achieve improved forest and rangeland health and will help reduce the threat of large fire events.
Controlled burning allows the Forest Service to control the effects of fire, its location and intensity.
Controlled burning can be managed or controlled to reduce the intensity and magnitude of bigger wildfires by reducing the accumulation of flammable fuels.
Wildfires threaten public safety, impair forest and ecosystem health, and degrade air quality.
Wildfires can pose serious threats to public health and safety, as well as to air quality. Because the fires are uncontrolled, they pose significant threats to the safety of firefighters and general public and destroy property. The intense or extended periods of smoke associated with uncontrolled fires can also cause serious health problems and significantly decrease visibility. Controlled burning is used to minimize the emissions and adverse impacts of smoke on public health and the environment.

I certainly agree, it just is odd that there have been so many explosions lately and it starts to look like someones secret war. I don't mean just now I mean for a while now and maybe accelerating to bigger stuff.

Could some of these sites have been hiding other things worth hitting? I was just watching the history of the first self sustained nuclear reaction test which was done in the middle of Chicago under the football stadium in 42, I know there are secrets all around us.

Most people don't know that there are near 4,000 oil wells hiding in buildings in LA. So it is not out of the question something more then accidents is going on.

Even the trains are odd,what is with all the derails and explosions? They usually involve something explosive or dangerous fumes. It could all be accidents but why so many are companies getting more lax and careless?

QuoteTwo tanker trains full of crude oil have derailed and burst into flames in the last few days, one in West Virginia and one in Ontario. They're the most recent examples of a phenomenon that's increasingly common as fracking for oil becomes a top American pastime.

I have been saying for the past three years that the American economy is in big trouble because the US dollar is overly divested with the Chinese economy and now the Chinese look as though they want to collect some of the American debt that is owed to them.

They have taken the majority of the global manufacturing jobs away from the Western countries and have America enslaved in debt owed to them.

They are purchasing gold in enormous numbers and have recently been playing game in devaluing their dollar. America just may have well sent a shot across their bow with a Space Age Energy Weapon as we approach Financial Chaos in North America in the coming months.

A week has passed and still the reports are sketchy as to the cause of the disaster. My brief analysis of what little evidence is available shows that none of the substances mentioned in reports could have been the cause of the massive explosion and crater it left.

It seems that what really happened is being covered up with mentions of substances that could not have caused such destruction.



Sunday, August 23, 2015
by Mike Adams, the Health

(NaturalNews) After publishing an article last week which explained that dissidents in China believe Tianjin was hit by a "Rod of God" secret space weapon from the Pentagon, I've looked more closely at the physics and telemetry control required to place such a weapon on target.

Some observers have come to the conclusion that the complexity of such a weapon system is too high for it to be a reality. They've cited several reasons for their skepticism, including the difficulty of overcoming orbital velocity, atmospheric re-entry problems, flight telemetry and so on. Some have also questioned whether the kinetic energy of such an object would be large enough to make any sort of meaningful impact on a ground-based target.

However, after analyzing the capabilities already found in today's precision-guided munitions — such as Raytheon's Excalibur guided artillery projectile, I've come to the conclusion that today's weapons technology is more than sufficient to build and deploy a functioning "Rod of God" orbital kinetic weapon platform.
[...]



Back to the Rod of God, the greater question here, however, is whether the rod can survive the atmospheric re-entry speed that's necessary to result in it striking the ground at 4km/s.

In other words, if V1 is the velocity of entry into the atmosphere, then the equation we are pondering is:

4km/s = V1 – B1?V1 = velocity upon entering the atmosphere?B1 = velocity reduction caused by braking in the atmosphere.

The real question here is: Can a "Rod from God" weapon survive V1? Or will it "burn up" from friction with the atmosphere? We can't know the answer to this, and the Pentagon isn't telling. But we can guess that the space weapons industry is at least two decades ahead of what they're telling the public.



Delivering 4 tons of TNT equivalent kinetic energy onto the target

Here's the math of the kinetic energy delivered to the target:

At 4km/s upon impact, a mass of, say, 2000kg (a two-ton rod) would deliver:
Kinetic Energy (Joules) = 0.5 x 2000 x (4000 ^ 2)

Answer = 16,000,000,000 Joules or 16 billion Joules; or stated as 16 x 10^9.

The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima unleashed approximately 64 TJ (terajoules), or approximately 4,000 times the kinetic energy of our Rod of God weapon.

Because one ton of TNT is equivalent to 4.184 × 10^9 joule (J), if our exotic rod weapon unleashes 16 x 10^9, then it delivers the energy of four tons of TNT onto the target.

Is four tons of TNT useful as a tactical weapon? If you can deliver it on target from space, it certainly is!

The first Tianjin explosion was reported as 3 tons of TNT equivalent.

Interestingly, this is right in line with the reports from Tianjin, China, where two explosions took place. It was widely reported in the media that the first explosion represented about 3 tons of TNT, setting off a secondary explosion that reached about 21 tons of TNT.




From CNBC.com:

QuoteThe second blast was equal to about 21 tons of TNT exploding, while the first was the equivalent of about 3 tons of TNT, according to numerous reports.

In other words, a "Rod of God" weapon could have conceivably achieved a 3-ton TNT equivalent, and if delivered directly on target, it could have easily set off the secondary chemical explosion.



How could the Rod of God reach targets that aren't directly underneath it?

Those who are assuming the Rod of God orbital weapons platform must drop the rods STRAIGHT down are making a tremendous error. No such limitation exists in space. There's no reason why the launch platform can't rotate before launching the rod on a desired trajectory, and there's no reason why a rod can't have a small, detachable thruster motor that works in space (yet detaches before atmospheric re-entry).

The initial trajectory angle of the Rod of God upon launch could allow it to reach almost any land-based target on the planet below. A relatively small thrust charge ignited after launch could drive the trajectory in any direction in space. This is especially the case if the launch platform is orbiting far from the planet, allowing more time for launch vectors to alter the final arrival destination below.




Once the rod reaches atmosphere, small changes in control surfaces could easily glide the rod to within 2 meters of any intended target on impact, using the exact same technology that already exists in precision munitions on Earth (tiny adjustable surfaces near the tail).

In all, these three innovations would allow a space-based Rod of God weapon to hit ANY target on planet Earth:

1) The ability to rotate the platform to launch the rods at varying angles relative to the planet.

2) The ability to add thrust to the rod itself through a small, one-time rocket motor.

3) The ability to guide the rod using existing precision munitions technology that alters control surfaces in the atmosphere to deliver munitions on target.
[...]



Conclusion: The Rod of God concept seems feasible, but we can't know the Pentagon's secrets to confirm it.

Here, I've shown that the kinetic energy delivered by a "Rod of God" weapon could reasonably match the first explosion observed in TianJin. I've also explained why the orbital velocity and atmospheric re-entry objections are not show-stoppers.

The biggest question, in my opinion, is whether a rod can survive the extremely high forces of friction with the atmosphere as it plummets toward its target at very high velocities (Mach 12, for example). This is primarily a materials question, and there's no way we can know for sure what sort of exotic materials the Pentagon has developed.

One thing we can know with 100% certainty, however, is that the Pentagon doesn't publicly disclose its space weapons secrets. If it does possess a Rod of God space weapon, it sure isn't going to announce it to anyone. Especially given how amazingly useful such a weapon would be for the stealth striking of enemy targets anywhere on the planet.

Remember: if this weapon exists, it puts a weapon on target while producing no apparent launch signature. This is, in every way, a stealth weapon that no one can stop once it's launched. You wouldn't even be able to see it approaching, either.

Dropping through the atmosphere at Mach 12, it would strike the target like a bolt from the heavens, causing enormous destruction and leaving quite a large crater in the ground, just like we saw at Tianjin.

An article published in the June 2015 issue of Time Magazine goes into great detail describing an array of science-fiction-like technologies which would likely make their debut. U.S. and Chinese warships battle at sea, firing everything from cannons to cruise missiles to lasers.

In the Pacific, the U.S. and a newly powerful and assertive China are engaged in a massive arms race. China built more warships and warplanes than any other nation during the last several years, while the Pentagon just announced a strategy to "offset" it with a new generation of high-tech weapons.

Indeed, it's likely China's alleged recent hack of federal records at the Office of Personnel Management was not about cyber crime, but a classic case of what is known as "preparing the battlefield," gaining access to government databases and personal records just in case, has already begun. China's military build up is already on pace to match the U.S. by 2020, if it hasn't already.

The lifeblood of military communications and control now runs through space, meaning we'd see humankind's first battles for the heavens. Similarly, we'd learn "cyber war" is far more than stealing Social Security Numbers or e-mail from gossipy Hollywood executives, but the takedown of the modern military nervous system and Stuxnet-style digital weapons...

He died

Yeah that was my thought too... that shock wave came in fast

My concern though is whether or not this is a forth explosion or film from another angle. All I see so far is cloned story, nothing official

This last one looks smaller, as the time it takes for the sound to reach the camera is too short, so the camera was very close to the explosion, which means the explosion was not as big as it looks at first.

"The powers that be seem more interested in hushing everyone up": One Censored Account of a Tianjin Explosion Survivor

On August. 12, a great fireball shot into the sky in the large and prosperous port city of Tianjin, in northeastern China.

A privately-run warehouse complex containing dangerous chemicals in concentrations far exceeding the lawful allowance had exploded in the district of Binhai, a disaster that, according to Chinese state media, claimed over 160 lives and injured hundreds of others.

But many Chinese do not trust the state media reports, which have been closely controlled. Meanwhile, authorities have vigorously censored social media, which initially bustled with first-hand accounts of the blast's immediate aftermath. Questions about why the company operating the warehouse was allowed to flaunt regulations remain unanswered.

On Sept. 7, an anonymous user of social media platform Weibo posted (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/China,+????????????????,???????????/Ruihai+International+Logistics,+Binhai,+Tianjin,+China/@39.0352928,117.7206693,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x35ed88a744eea941:0x37064efc16cffd72!2m2!1d117.739882!2d39.03307!1m5!1m1!1s0x35ed889e3e349313:0xdd938dfaf3991e7a!2m2!1d117.736062!2d39.039416!3e2) what claims to be a first-hand account of the explosion, from a home merely blocks away. The author has not responded to a Weibo message seeking comment, and Foreign Policy has not been able to verify the account's particulars. But the narrative caused much discussion in Chinese social media, with over 80,000 shares, before it was deleted. The detailed essay depicts robust and generous grassroots citizen response in the wake of the explosion, while sharply criticizing the local government's treatment of survivors and their families. In an indication at the sensitivity surrounding the Tianjin disaster, the most popular comments urge the writer, who says she will enroll at a U.S. college, to leave China quickly — and, perhaps, stay away. Below, FP translates, with edits for length and clarity.


It's been almost a month since the explosion in Tianjin, and after sustaining injuries in the blast, I'm finally out of the hospital. Although I'm weaker than before, and my wounds are still healing, I'm finally able to return to something like a normal life — if this very altered existence can still be called normal.

I'm a Tianjin native, and except for three years in a Beijing high school, I've lived my whole life in Tanggu [which has been absorbed into Binhai]. When the incident occurred, I was living in Vanke Harbor City — the closest area (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/China,+????????????????,???????????/Ruihai+International+Logistics,+Binhai,+Tianjin,+China/@39.0352928,117.7206693,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x35ed88a744eea941:0x37064efc16cffd72!2m2!1d117.739882!2d39.03307!1m5!1m1!1s0x35ed889e3e349313:0xdd938dfaf3991e7a!2m2!1d117.736062!2d39.039416!3e2) to the explosion. I'm from a middle class home. We own one apartment — we sold the other one so I could study abroad. My mother and father both work at a state-owned enterprise as low-level employees. I was supposed to enroll in Swarthmore College [in Pennsylvania] Aug. 20, but I've had to defer.

The incident occurred around 11:40 p.m. on Aug. 12. Only my mother joined me at home; my father had been sent to Shenzhen [a large city distant from Tianjin] for a long-term work assignment. She was asleep when it happened, and I was lying in bed chatting on Wechat with friends. My bed faces a large window directly, so I could see the sky clearly. I was typing on my phone when I suddenly saw the sky light up. I put my phone down and looked again. Then, in an instant, the whole sky became orange, followed right afterwards by the loudest, most frightening sound I'd ever heard in my life. My window was blown out into shards of glass flying toward me. I didn't see it clearly, because I'd turned on my side and used my hands and arms to cover my head.

After that, everything was instinct. I grabbed a nearby pillow and held it on top of me, in case there was an aftershock (which never came). Then, one more fierce exploding sound.

It felt a bit hot near my left shoulder, so I touched it with my hand and found blood everywhere. I heard my mother shouting at me to come out. I was already in shock, and my whole body was stiff, and I wasn't aware of how serious my injuries were. My mother had to come in, walking across the glass-covered floor, and pulled me out of bed into the hallway toward her room. I felt dizzy and cold. I looked down and the clothes on my left side were all red. As I lay across my mother's bed, she ran to turn off the electrical circuit — she thought we'd been hit by lightning.

Lying there on the bed, I felt blood streaming from my clavicle. It wouldn't stop. It suddenly dawned on me that if my aorta had been injured, I was done. I wasn't afraid, I just had a very clear and grim thought: I am going to die.
I called my mother back in; it sounded like a war outside. I told her I was hurt, and it might be my aorta. She was relatively calm, and lifted up my shirt to search for the wound. She found it, and pressed down, asking me if it hurt.

Truthfully, it didn't hurt at all.

After that, I lost it, I really lost it. I was comforting my mother, telling her it wasn't a big deal and to just keep pressing down on my wound; other times I cried and said I was too young to die, that I hadn't even made it to college. After a few minutes, my mom promptly decided to call for help. First, she wrapped my wound — we didn't have a first-aid kit, so she used a nearby pair of pants, and it took about ten minutes for her to get the angle right — then she picked up her cell phone.

Outside, the noises had gotten even scarier than the explosion. There were sirens everywhere, but they couldn't cover up the shrieks and howls outside. It was like the sound of hell.

When my mom ran back into the room, I noticed that her face and body were covered with blood. It sounds pathetic, but at the time, I was just thinking about having someone save me. Family members called then to see if we were okay, but they were too far away to come get us, and the call only lasted a few quick sentences. I tried calling 120 [an emergency number], and finally got through after about a dozen tries. But they said there were no ambulances left.
We were growing desperate. Our cell phone was almost out of power. My mom could have driven me to the hospital, but we were on the 14th floor; the elevator wasn't working; my mom wasn't strong enough to carry me down the stairs; and it wasn't clear if the car was in shape to drive. All we could do was use the phone.  Finally, my mom reached her sister; she and her husband headed out to find us.

They lived about a 10-minute drive away, but after the incident, traffic was crazy, and it took them about half an hour to arrive. It felt to my mother and me like the longest wait of our lives. She and I spent time talking about our family — do you and dad love me, that sort of thing — and found a bottle of rubbing alcohol to put on my wound, found a power charger for the phone, and gathered some essentials.

After half an hour, we couldn't wait any longer. She found me a pair of shoes and helped me head downstairs. My wound was a bit better but blood was still leaving my body, and I felt dizzy and weak from the blood loss.

My mom wanted to bring me all the way down to the first floor, but she wasn't strong enough. She had a hernia, and there's no way she could have carried me all that way on her back. So  I let her put me down on the stairs while she rested. I was still losing blood and on the verge of losing consciousness when I heard my mom calling out to my aunt and uncle (I hadn't heard them approaching). A building guard was with them, and he and my uncle carried me down about six flights. It must have been exhausting to carry me, who weighs about 110 pounds, all that way. I remember babbling an apology until I ran out of energy.

They brought me into the ER on a stretcher. There were bloodied people everywhere. My family eventually found an ER doctor, who finally put me on a temporary operating table. He quickly announced I had trauma to my chest cavity, but they could only perform basic sutures, and didn't even have any anesthetic left. With much effort, the doctor located a surgical kit.
He said he could give me stitches, but with no anesthetic — I'd just have to bear it. Although I was almost numb from the blood loss, it hurt. A lot. I remember squeezing my mother's hand every time the needle entered.

Then we were cleared out of the hospital and got ready to go to another one downtown. I was too weak to walk, but luckily some volunteers at the hospital doors put me on a stretcher and carried me. They asked very nicely if we had a car, or needed help getting to the hospital. Now, when I think of how many people volunteered to help, in such a friendly and orderly way so soon after the incident, I'm really moved — I'm sure many people were saved because of them.
The doctors said the hospital was about an hour away. I refused to sleep on the trip, even thought there wasn't danger by then. Cars flashing their lights were racing around the road, and I think they must have been bringing the injured. When we arrived, the doctor there made the same diagnosis, and drained my stomach. Afterwards, around 5 a.m., they put me in intensive care.

I must have passed out afterwards, and awoke the next morning. I learned then that my mom had also been seriously injured. Her left axillary had a gash nearly four inches long and a series of smaller cuts, and a tendon in her left middle finger was ruptured. All together she needed over 20 stitches. She had been injured by glass shards from the second explosion after she had come out to call after me.

It's been a long period of recovery since then. The first week, they drained over three pints of blood and liquid from me and gave me about two bags' worth of blood. After a week, some blood was condensing in my chest cavity. They had to operate on me again. It was minimally invasive, but I needed general anesthetic, and the recovery afterwards was particularly painful.  After the anesthetic wore off, I howled until the next morning. It took another few days before I could walk around and consume semi-liquid foods.

It's all part of being injured and recovering. But seeing the anxiety and guilt my parents have been through during my recovery, I'll never feel the same way again. My mom still can't move her fingers, and her other wounds have restricted her movements, and she hurts a lot on rainy days. Because of my chest injuries and surgery, as of now, I still can't stand straight for long periods, it's hard for me to move my shoulders, and breathing can be painful.

I'm more afraid of dying. The sound of glass [crashing], lightning, or other big sounds make me think of the explosion. I don't feel safe anymore.

However, during this process, the powers that be have left me very cold. I'm very grateful that my mother wasn't forced to go back to work after the explosion, grateful for the medical care. But after a week of stalling, the compensation offered has been about $313 per month, for a total of three months. Before the explosion, our two-bedroom apartment could have rented for between $470 and $550 per month, and that's not in the most bustling area of the development zone.

One week after the disaster, without the slightest notice to landowners, and without police supervision, [authorities], in the name of clean-up, search, and rescue, pried open the doors to seemingly all the homes in our area and sent in laborers to "sweep." Countless valuables were stolen. Our neighbors lost over $1,500 in cash. Homeowners needed police escorts to accompany them, but the cleaners could go in without the slightest supervision. Up until today, when my mother and father enter, our place is still a mess, and the glass has not been cleaned at all. In fact, it's worse than it was right after the disaster.

Then there's the question of compensation. I can't count how many times we victims have been insulted over this. It's said we lack perspective, that we're profiting from calamity. Let's just look at those who survived among residents of my building complex. How long did they have to save to buy those homes? Especially those young people who scrimped and saved to buy their first home as a married couple? And when we bought in 2012, we had no understanding of warehouses storing dangerous chemicals nearby — that warehouse didn't even exist then.

After the blast, the chemicals haven't been cleaned up, and the powers that be seem more interested in hushing everyone up. The contracts [they offered us] are full of holes and confusingly worded. They have offered to buy back the properties at 1.3 times [which likely refers to a multiple of either the home's purchase price or its market value -Ed.].

Forget for a second that the number is unreasonable; the contracts don't say when the payment will be made, how much time we have to vacate, or to what level we should repair the homes. They aren't even 15 clauses in the whole document; how are we supposed to sign this? How dare we sign this?

The 1.3 multiple looks great, but it's not enough money to buy another home nearby. It's said prices in the area haven't gone up after the explosion, but over the days that my mother and father looked at homes, the price of apartments in the area were going up. Not even a 1.5 multiple would allow us to buy a home comparable in quality.
Yet news reports say that over 70 percent of residents have signed the contract. That's true. So did my family. How did we sign it? After a month of silence, during the military parade ceremony [in Beijing, which commanded much of Chinese media attention], leaders from some bureau came to the hospital to talk. After an hour of "chatting," my parents signed. Hmph. How many other public sector workers signed, I don't know.

News reports haven't covered the "early signing bonus" policy put out by the powers that be. They said that those signing on Sept. 3 [the date of the military parade] would get a $3,135 bonus; later signatories would not. My 17-plus inches of wounds ([classifying me as] lightly injured) got us $470. My mom's 20-plus stitches got us $313. They're still estimating the losses to the inside of our home, and my dad and mom have been busy with that the last few days. As to compensation for missing work, missing school, emotional distress; it's not even worth thinking about.
Some people say we're being greedy, that we're just taking taxpayer money — shouldn't we seek compensation from the company responsible?

Ask me, and I have no friging idea. The city government has been investigating forever, and still hasn't found who's at fault. Is it that regulation wasn't strong enough, or that the company was taking advantage of a loophole? There are more questions than answers. Who are we, a group of little commoners, supposed to talk to?

It hasn't even been a month since the disaster, and the explosion is already fading from public sight. Even when it had just happened, few people actually knew the victims' situation. Most people thought that many residents had just received minor injuries.

But many were seriously hurt. It's just that at the time, the seriously injured were barely hanging onto life — how were they going to write about it online? And the newspapers weren't going to tell you about the [most gruesome injuries]. Yes, we should praise the firefighters who gave their lives to save others, and we should grieve over those who died.

But for us survivors, our lives have to go on. We still need outside help and attention in order to get back on track. Even if you can't help, please try to understand our predicament.

We're just common people trying to get back to normal.
