Top 20 Best Cars For The End Of The World Apocalypse Rapture AKA October 21 2011, Part 2

Top 20 Best Cars For The End Of The World
Apocalypse Rapture AKA October 21 2011, Part 2
By Lynn Julian, (http://PopSuperhero.com & http://Facebook/CookieCutterGirl.com)

OK...So people have been saying “The End Is Near” for decades now.  We all waited in anticipation for May 21 2011, but nothing happened.  Yet, after suffering through a long line of floods, tropical storms, tornadoes and hurricanes this year, “The End” feels a little closer than before.  The new date for the “End Of The World” Rapture is December 21 2012. (If you're reading this after that date, then I assume you survived...CONGRATS!) Even though it may not be “The End Of The World As We Know It,” I feel we ought to be better prepared for natural disasters.  NO...I’m not talking about hoarding more bottled water, dry goods, flashlights, batteries and radios.  I don’t want to simply survive.  I want to escape death.  In order to do this, I’ll need a Superhero style vehicle.  I’m talking about one of the top twenty best cars to survive the apocalypse...LET THE RAPTURE BEGIN!



10. Military Tank

Let’s talk tanks, for starters.  (NOTE:  I do NOT recommend raiding what’ll be left of military bases in the post-apocalypse.  This student had the skills to build his own tank.)  This tons of fun is pumped up by a powerful, diesel motor, so he can rest assured of it’s ability to push through the worst Mother Nature can do.  The pneumatic paint ball canon he equipped it with is NOT just for fun.  It doubles as a flame thrower or napalm launcher. This is the kind of friend we all want on your side when the world falls to pieces!

9. ZIL 29061 AKA ZIL Screw Drive

Off-road vehicles are a Soviet specialty. The ZIL 29061, AKA “Screw Drive,” was a prototype from the Cold War era designed for the vast expanses of inhospitable terrain which cover much of the U.S.S.R.  What’s better than a Soviet tank?  A Drill Tank!  This Russian beauty can maneuver her way out of...anything.

8. DAF Turbo Twin

Being chased by a mutant breed of...anything...would give anyone a need for speed. I got your “speed” right here.  (No, I’m not making an obscene hand gesture.  I mean this next car, man.)  The DAF was designed to complete in the 1988 Paris-Dakar Rally, featuring two 11.6 liter diesel engines to power out 1200hp and @3500 ft-lbs of torque...each.
OH YEAH...That’s a whopping total of 2400hp and 7000 pounds of torque taking this truck’s up to 150mph in no time.  Bring it on, bad guys!  Catch me if you can...

7. The Landmaster from Damnation Alley

The Landmaster was specially built for the 1977 Sci-fi film, Damnation Alley.  It would cost over $1,200,000 to build today.  This versatile, 12-wheeled tank is fully amphibious...like a “Duck-Boat”...on steroids!  Popular Science had this to say about the Landmaster:  “Three independent drive sources running from a gasoline power plant. Uses semi truck parts in the drive train. Can operate with the front or rear wheel trinary out of commission. Side and top hatches on the main unit and rear and top on the after section. Full running lights and brake lights for urban street use. External video camera is mounted on the forward pylon located just behind the front top hatch. Could also house the antenna. All pylons are hardened and armored. Can operate in water and will remain sealed when fully submerged. Can float while half full of water.”  I always wanted to live on an island anyway...

6. The Dreadnaught from Death Race

 Is this a real vehicle?  Technically not, but the design appears to be pretty straight forward. Start with one tanker truck, fully coat it in armor, then fill up it’s storage with 50 caliber machine guns and missiles.  Under attack by other world enemies... or even zombies? Have no fear...The Dreadnaught is here...Sci-Fi villains...BEWARE!

5. Steelwheels Draco

Let us return to our proud military, with it’s unlimited budget and teams of scientists.  The Draco’s was built from the Oshkosh M1000 platform, which was used for military applications.  This apocalyptic Super vehicle features steel reinforcements, elaborate communications array and a Caterpillar drivetrain, whichs gives off 335hp and 1000fl-lbs of torque.  Worried about missing the comforts of home?  No need...This baby is loaded for bear with a stainless steel kitchen!   Bully your way through bad guys while grilling up an eco-friendly, veggie burger.  NOTE:  The Draco sold at Barrett-Jackson for the bargain-bomb shelter price of only $45,000.  Just so you know who to make friends with!

4. Bagger 288

What if you don’t have any friends in high military places?  Then, my advice is to try and hook up with this guy.  When the apocalypse hits, even the tanks will get out of your way!  The Bagger 288, designed in 1978 by the German steel company, Krupp, was conceived  as a faster means of completing massive excavations. The scary thing on the front that looks like a ferris wheel for sadists is really a circle of shovels for scooping up dirt.  Technically, the Bagger 288 was designed as a harmless, utility vehicle, so you need to load it up with artillary.  I won’t tell the aliens, vampires, werewolves or zombies!

3. The Wothahellizat 

The Wothahellizat (pronounced “wha’ the hell is ‘at”) was designed by an Australian nature photographer who needed to spend long periods in the wilderness, but did not wish to go without basic human comforts.  This “Rapture Rover” has too many features to list, fusing a luxury condo, an armored car, and an urban assault vehicle into one hell of a happy ending...even if it is the apocalypse.  This diamond plated, Green Machine even uses solar panels.  The Wothahellizat is Maximalist Motorhome on wheels.  Making it the perfect vehicle for those of you don't want to leave anything behind in your underground fallout shelter.  The only thing that might stop this ride is not zombies.  It’s those low overhangs at fast food drive throughs!  (Do NOT ask me how I know this.  Just trust me...I’m right.)  I think this looks like a food truck for war times.  (Can’t you just see them selling hot dogs out the side window?  *smile*

2. Ford Falcon Interceptor XB

No article on apocalypse vehicles would be complete without mentioning Mel Gibson’s Aussie-built Interceptor from the Mad Max movies. The Interceptor has all the makings of a “badass dystopian vehicle” – monochromatic black color, quad side pipes, a big V8 engine, and a weird weapon on the hood.  It may not have an arsenal of weapons or a coat of armor, but it’s built for speed and maneuverability...and it’s SUPERBAD!

1. The Killdozer

A welder and muffler shop owner in Granby, Colorado, Marvin Heemeyer, finally reached the end of his patience in 2004. Frustrated over a zoning dispute forcing him to close his business, he solely created the ultimate vehicle for the apocalypse, The Killdozer. 

This survival vehicle starts with a Komatsu D355A bulldozer, armored with layers of steel and concrete, and added lots of cameras for visibility, then mounted several high powered rifles within the cab for safety’s sake.  Once his Komatsu was completed, he created his own chaos by destroying the town hall, the judge’s home, and other buildings in his path.

In the wake of his destruction, Heemeyer himself was the only one killed, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, after the bulldozer became immobilized by a failed radiator.  The one thing no survival vehicle built for the apocalypse can save you from:  YOURSELF.

JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL... ALTERNATIVE CANCER TREATMENT! CCG Pop Superhero DIET, EXERCISE, ENVIRONMENT Be A Hero NO CHEMOTHERAPY...EAT LESS MEAT, SUGAR & COFFEE! Cookie Cutter Girl, Boston Superhero SHRINK TUMORS & CANCER CELLS!

Johns Hopkins Update - Very Good Article

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY
TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER,
JOHNS HOPKINS SAYS THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY!

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer

cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have

multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients

that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after

treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the

cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable

size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a

person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer

cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and

forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has

nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,

but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing

diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day

and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing

cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells

in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can

cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7.. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars

and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often

reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of

chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor

destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from

chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either

compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb

to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to

mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.

Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other

sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer

cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

*CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

B. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat, like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).. e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the

intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to

get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer

cells.

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave..

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Please share this with your whole email list.........................

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life. I got this email from an older friend of mine, 85+ years old, takes great care of himself and has survived minor cancer outbreaks.

RECYCLE YOUR PLASTIC BAGS! 16-Year-Old Creates Solution to Decompose Plastic Bags. PLASTIC BAG COMPOST PILE, ENVIRONMENTALISM, ENVIRONMENTALIST

Welcome to THRIFTY THURSDAY...
Here's how YOU can "Be A Hero" & Save!

16-Year-Old Creates Solution to Decompose Plastic Bags

http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=105136863864&h=IUh3J&u=nLEPR&ref=nf

A brilliant 16-year-old has come up with a way to decompose plastic bags in a mere three months.

By Kathryn Hawkins. Posted on May 25 2008 Filed under General InterestGreenHeroesScience

---

In The Graduate, when Mr. McGuire told young Benjamin Braddock that plastics were the future, he sure wasn’t wrong.

Plastics - and plastic bags, in particular - have a nasty habit of sticking around long after they’re wanted. A plastic bag can take as long as 1,000 years to decompose naturally - and given that we produce 500 billion of them each year, it seems likely our planet will soon become a swamp of plastic.

But there may be hope for us yet, thanks to the smart thinking of Daniel Burd, a 16-year-old boy from Waterloo, Ontario. Burd recently won $30,000 in scholarships and prize money at the Canada-Wide Science Fair for his groundbreaking environmental project: a solution that can biodegrade plastic bags in a mere three months.

Burd came up with the concept while working on household chores one day. “Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have this avalanche of plastic bags falling on top of me,” he told The Record. “One day, I got tired of it.”

He spent weeks on a trial-and-error process to isolate a group of microorganisms that would quickly degrade plastic bags, and soon came up with a winning combination. “All you need is a fermenter . . . your growth medium, your microbes and your plastic bags.” We don’t pretend to understand it all, but if you’re curious, you can read his report (PDF) here.

His invention could easily be used for wider application, and may lead to a dramatic speedup in plastic back degradation the world over. “This is a huge, huge step forward,” he said. “We’re using nature to solve a man-made problem.”

Global Warming Alters the Arctic Ecosystem, Threatening Ringed Seals >" hspace="14" src="http://dingo.care2.com/actionalerts/takeaction.gif" width="157" border="0"> Forward to friends and colleagues >> Global warming is changing the ecology of the Arctic Ocean - and the effects on the inhabitants of the Arctic are starting to come to light. Take action to reverse negative effects of global warming on ringed seals >> Cod are a very mercury-contaminated species and a favorite of ringed seals during the ice-free season. Because the ice-free season is becoming longer and longer due to global warming, the feeding season for ringed seals is also becoming longer. As a consequence, the seals are taking in too much mercury. Researchers say the Arctic has been losing ice since the 1950s - and since 2002, the ice loss has increased to more than 50,000 square kilometers gone each year. Global warming is having a real effect on seals and other marine life. The mercury contamination will only get worse for the Arctic ringed seal unless we start to seriously address global warming! More research is needed to see just how the transfer of mercury in the food web is being affected by global warming.
