Some of the streets on Miami Beach are flooded due to unusually high tides that the protesters felt are due to rising seas, which are connected to global warming and climate change. Published reports indicate that Florida ranks as the most vulnerable state to sea-level rise, with some 2.4 million people, 1.3 million homes and 107 cities at risk from a four-foot rise in sea levels.

How to set off a FALSE FLAG and blame it on Iran...or YOU
"Rogue states or terrorists armed with a single nuclear
weapon detonated at high-altitude over the United States could cause a
protracted blackout nationwide, that would last months or years and
might even be unrecoverable."

Rogue states or terrorists? Like the illegal and immoral thieves at the Federal Reserve, who are starting to get a bit antsy now that some nations are demanding that their gold be returned or accounted for?
What if the gold isn't there? The FED has already admitted that it doesn't hold any gold.
An EMP would be a nice way to fry the records so no one could be held accountable for all that missing gold, which was probably spirited off to the Negev Desert and smelted down to build a Golden Calf.

Berlusconi party loses key Sicily vote
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 7 hours ago
Italian ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi's People of Freedom party (PDL) on
Monday lost a key regional election in Sicily seen as a barometer for
national polls due in April, handing victory to a centre-left anti-Mafia
candidate.
With over 50 percent of votes counted, Rosario Crocetta of the Democratic
Party (PD) was leading with 30.88 percent, ahead of the PDL's Sebastiano
Musumeci with 24.90 percent, robbing him of what was once the
centre-right's stronghold on the Mediterranean island.

Sandy likely to shut at least two NJ nuclear reactors
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 8 hours ago
At least two major New Jersey nuclear power plants are likely to shut on
Monday as Hurricane Sandy makes landfall as a Category 1 storm, and more
plants could reduce power as the storm triggers precautionary safety
measures.
Sandy, centered over the Atlantic Ocean about 310 miles southeast of New
York City, was expected to hit near Delaware and south New Jersey in about
12 hours as a Category 1 hurricane with winds of up to 90 miles per hour.

Sandy and storm surge pose 'worst case scenario'
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 8 hours ago
KENSINGTON, Md. (AP) — The projected storm surge from Hurricane Sandy is a
"worst case scenario" with devastating waves and tides predicted for the

Sunday.
The more they observe it, the more the experts worry about the water —
which usually kills and does more damage than winds in hurricanes.

New Obama Slogan: They’ve Added An Exclamation Mark

Nashua, N.H. – The new Obama slogan isn’t exactly what you’d call heavily
revamped from the old Obama slogan.
Previously, supporters of the president could wave banners and placards
declaring, ‘Forward‘ (see above). Now, with under ten days to go until
election day, the signs read, ‘Forward!’
That exclamation mark was added by the president’s campaign team earlier
this week, and is presumably designed to whip up Obama supporters into a

Hurricane Sandy is a HUGE storm, with a diameter of over 700 miles wide and

impact a very large number of people for an extended period of time.
Unlike many storms that move up the coast and are in and out quickly, Sandy
will be arriving almost perpendicular to the New Jersey coastline, and then
weakening, but dawdling as it moves inland. That means even in Philadelphia
and the suburbs, tropical storm force winds could last over 48 hours!
