A matter of Conscience, Duck and Cover.

This is a posting from a comment that I made to a ‘Great Shakeout’ Posting.

The Original Post, at Linbkedin , by Wayne Ussery:

The Great Central U.S. ShakeOut – Get Ready! shakeout.org

You are invited to join millions of people who will Drop, Cover, and Hold On at 10:15.a.m. on February 7, 2013* in the 2013 Great Central U.S. ShakeOut! Last year more than 12.5 million people were registered in ShakeOut drills…

Doug Copp • Wayne: Your friend Ed endorsed you as a man of honesty, integrity. You look like ‘a good guy’, to me.

Let me give you some facts from a guy who has crawled inside of 896 collapsed buildings (including 911 and Oklahoma City and San Francisco Earthquake) and worked at more than 100 major disasters, around the world. I have been in 3 cities without a single building left standing and an earthquake (Gujarat, India) with more than 100,000 dead. All of this is verifiable with video, pictures and documentation at my website http://www.amerrescue.org and my blog http://www.dougcopp.me and amerrescue and amerrescuegmail youtube sites.

Supposition: you say the ‘Great Shakeout’ I presume that this means that you are preparing for actual collapsed structures and not ‘flying books falling on someone’.

Facts: 1) Buildings that collapse have a 98% death rate, in the USA.
2) Most of these people do ‘duck and cover’ and become squashed under flimsy, little desks, like the kids in the picture.
3) The 2% who survive have survived because they weren’t crushed, in the rubble. They survived in a survivable void or’ triangle of life’ found next to a large, bulky object.
4) Most of the victims, in the USA, who did survive, panicked, ran and were knocked to the floor ..winding up in a survivable space.
5) 650,000 people have died, at the disasters that I have worked at. The only people who ever survived, survived in a ‘triangle of life’
6) We approached the USA Insurance Companies we were told that they are NOT in the business of saving lives. They are in the business of maximizing shareholder return. We were, also, told that survivors expect compensation for either trauma (physical or mental). In other words dead people don’t sue. Survivors sue. “It is cheaper and less trouble if the schoolchildren are killed immediately; rather than, survive and cost us time, money and bother.
7) The latest earthquake, in Turkey had the highest survival rate of ANY earthquake because the Turkish Government gave out 5 million brochures teaching people NOT to get under desks but get next to them.
8) Many countries ( I will post a book published in Iran , on the triangle of life’, later this week (it was sent to me in pdf. I need to have it changed to doc.)..all over the world have changed from ‘duck and splatter’ to ‘the ‘triangle of life’. Just as the tobacco companies maximized their profit with human lives..the Insurance Companies who insure the school boards have done the same.

I believe that you haven’t been inside of a collapsed building to see with your own eyes what I have seen; since, 1985.I expect you are just repeating ‘official policy’ as dictated to you. A man of honesty and integrity; who actually has’ first hand experience’ would NOT be capable of telling people to ‘duck and cover’; especially, children.

I took videos and everything else that ANYONE of any ‘good will’ or ‘intentions’ can be completely satisfied to completely conclude that ‘duck and cover’ is death…and ‘survivable void’ or ‘triangle of life’ is the only sane action, to take, to save your life.

Of course, I expect to get the usual hatred, lies, discrediting..BS. I could care less. I have a conscience and a soul. I can’t look , at the picture you posted of those kids under their desks without vivid memories of squashed children making my stomach upset.

I, personally, need no more incentive than a clear conscience that I did everything I could to stop the slaughter. If it is too much, to ask, of someone, to endure the abuse and hardship of standing up to such powerful vested financial interests then at least do NOTHING. By doing Nothing more children will survive than teaching them to do the worst thing that they could possibly do..to survive..get under a flimsy desk that will collapse under an adult’s weight..let alone tons of rubble….and squash them like a bug.

Prior to 911, I was the most experienced rescue person, in the world. Permanently disabled from 911, I have changed my life-focus towards preventing bureaucracy and vested financial interests from causing the deaths of 200,000 children per year. I am promoting the belief that the lives of children are more important than American Insurance Company Shareholder profits. International Disaster Reduction Institute Institute of International Disaster January 2010 – Present (3 years 10 months)worldwide The world's most experienced Rescuer/Disaster Mitigation Management Expert , crawling inside of 896 collapsed buildings at 100+ disaster events during war, peace and revolution Plus a lifetime of High Adventure; including, an undercover cop. .At almost 3,000 serious life threatening events and the medical survival from enough toxins to kill 200+ people, I am probably the world's leading survivor, from death. Survival Scientist Linkedin Profile: Summary saving lives, reducing suffering. "You must not only be good. You must be wise and wise enough to know who is good." doug copp Sometimes it is NOT enough to do good things ..you must be strong enough to endure the attack...that will follow; especially if you are trying to place children's lives ahead of USA Insurance Company Profits...crawling inside of 896 collapsed buildings helped to give me the courage that it takes; especially, considering that I have been sick every single day; since 911. FYI: USA Insurance companies oppose my 'triangle of life' survival method; because, 90% of the children would survive; instead of 98% dead. This translates into//actuarial tables indicate, survivor's seeking compensation for trauma (physical or mental) with a net result of diminished shareholder return. The insurance Company Executives told us: ” We are in the business of maximizing shareholder return..NOT..saving lives.” The USA School Boards have been told by their Insurance Carriers that their policies would be terminated or the premium would become extreme..if the children are allowed to survive, following my method. I tried to learn: I am responsible for 'what I do' and for 'what I do NOT do'. I am responsible for 'MY actions'. I am not responsible for what other people do. I discovered: that people never regret 'doing the right thing'. They only regret 'doing the wrong thing'. A life devoid of 'something worth dying for', is a life, 'not worth living'. Do all the living you can; while you can. 650,000 people died, at the major disasters I worked at..I have seen things that you cannot imagine. For all the persecution, hatred, violence and disgusting behavior that I have endured; in fighting against, evil, greedy bastards who exploited the helpless and preyed upon people..I am glad that I always did 'the right thing'. I always stood up; many times, by myself; but never alone.. If you can't be YOURSELF then who can you be?
