United Nations Sends Triangle to Latin America
by Carol Camelot
January 6, 2011
“U.N. security experts this week sent out a triangle-of-life PowerPoint presentation to staff members in Latin America who are still shaken by the deaths of 100-plus U.N. workers in the organization’s Port-au-Prince headquarters, including the head of the mission there.”
Gary Patterson, a geologist at the University of Memphis in Tennessee, told Time, “If you’re going to play the odds, drop and cover may be the best way to go, but a lot of emergency responders might say triangle of life because they’re the ones who see the fatalities in buildings that do collapse.”
This column is the fifth in a series in this newspaper since Oct. 7, 2010, on American Rescue Team International (ARTI) and its founder and rescue chief, Doug Copp. Why am I putting so much emphasis on this organization? Do you hope to survive a devastating earthquake? Worldwide earthquakes are dramatically on the rise, and California is overdue by more than 150 years for an 8.0 magnitude shaker.
Understanding the difference between Duck, Cover and Hold (aka Drop, Cover and Hold) and Triangle of Life is essential. Realizing that your survival depends on knowing who is telling you the truth is also essential – and Copp is telling the truth, having searched personally 896 collapsed buildings since 1985 for trapped victims. In this column additional information is presented.
The U.S. government originally promoted Duck, Cover and Hold to survive a nuclear blast, not an earthquake, and told citizens to get underneath a desk. With Triangle of Life (known as Survivable Void to firefighters), a person lies on the floor beside a desk, sofa or other substantial piece of furniture. As the building collapses, the walls and roof cave in, and triangles are formed as large pieces fall against furniture.
A person is safe in a void, or empty space, formed by these falling pieces. Firefighters refer to the space formed by the triangle; ARTI refers to the triangle formed which has the empty void inside.
As a training specialist for ARTI, I was giving a Triangle presentation for preschool teachers. Their school director informed that she was pregnant when the Northridge earthquake occurred. The grandfather clock in their home hit her, opening up her belly. She fell down, lying next to the bed, which is where firefighters found her. They told her she should have lain next to the bed when the earthquake started.
Triangle was the inspiration for the Life Desk created by Yanko Design, as posted on Spark Awards International Design website. “When the desk-board closed, the total desk is transformed into a triangle-the most stable form. Toughness has nothing to do with how much metal you used but form and structure,” says designer Haishan Deng. “Fresh air can come in from side and back. There is an emergency box in which user can put water, foods for precaution. A wireless positioning system of Life-Desk for rescue team to locate survivors is in development.”
Deng has made arrangements with the Bureau of Education in China to produce a limited amount of these desks to try them out in schools.
The Triangle of Life was discovered by Copp when he crawled inside of a collapsed school in Mexico City during the 1985 earthquake at which 7,000 died. As he crawled up and down the aisles safely, he was shocked that the children were crushed to death under their desks. The ceiling had fallen, and the weight had snapped the desk legs. The ceiling rested upon all the desktops and remained intact.
Three children survived this horror. Their English affidavits are at www.amerrescue.org with links to the original Spanish language publications. Two girls who were in the aisles survived untouched while the third child’s legs were squashed under the desk and were amputated.
From videos to television programs to emails being sent around the world, the world about Triangle of Life’s effectiveness at saving lives continues to be spread. In the coming months you, dear reader, will begin to seriously wonder about earth changes and who is telling the truth about them. The changes our planet are undergoing are not slowing down any time soon.
At least you can be sure of one thing: Triangle of Life is the safer way to survive a building collapse in a deadly earthquake.

Hi Doug:
Just found your blog and read some of your articles. Wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the great work you have done for humanity. And for your discovers that have helped save many lives. And thank you for exposing the American Red Cross for what they are. I know there are alot of good volunteers within that organization, but the leadership of that organization has been proven to have serious greed and dishonesty issues to say the least. What a sad group of people they must truly be.
On another important note, I want to ENCOURAGE YOU TO GOOGLE: Dr. Christiane Northrup, Circle of Friends Radio Interview. She is an alternative medical doctor who interviews 3 medical doctors from Germany who discuss the teachings of Bruno Groening and how by practicing this simple spiritual practice a couple times a day, thousands have been healed. THEY HAVE THOUSANDS OF MEDICAL DOCTORS WHO HAVE VERIFIED & HAD “PEER REVIEWED” ALL THESE MEDICAL HEALINGS.
I personally have a friend who lives in the SF Bay area who is a community leader for the Circle of Friends, who told me that one of their members joined the group who was a Vietnam Vet with PTSD and agent orange poisoning (verified through blood tests and symptoms) for 40 yrs. Within a few months, war nightmares (which he had almost every night) disappeared and his symptoms of agent orange poisoning went away after 40 years. THEY TESTED HIS BLOOD AND COULDN’T FIND A TRACE. I know this all sounds too good to be true, but the Circle of Friends Medical Working Group has at least 200 medical records/healings on their website for people to look at.
By the way this is a purely non-profit group of doctors. Nobody is making money here, just doing service. I personally was able to meet one of the German doctors who was traveling on his on dime to share info such as this in California. Dr. Vogelsburg shared some of the medical records at the medical lecture I attended. He showed where in one case a woman who had been deaf for 32 years of her life, started practicing the Bruno Groening teachings and within a couple of years she was able to return to full hearing. She could only hear about 25%. They documented (again peer-reviewed verification by doctors who are independent of the Circle of Friends) that she gradually returned to a full hearing.
I’m sharing this with you because I believe you too can recover from your serious health problems. Please watch the Bruno trailers and go to the Circle of Friends website and take a look and judge for yourself. See: http://www.bruno-groening.org/english
Many blessings to you and yours,
Rose
Dear Rose:
Thank You for your kind words. I will try to contact these doctors.

It’s nearly impossible to find experienced people about this subject,
however, you seem like you know what you’re talking about!
Thanks
