(End of the American Dream)—What in the world has been happening in Rancho Palos Verdes? When I heard that the land was “moving” there, it immediately got my attention, because I have been warning about geological instability along the California coast for more than a decade. What is taking place has been described as an ongoing “landslide”, but that term simply does not do it justice. Others are calling what we are witnessing “land movement” on a massive scale, and I think that is much more accurate. According to FOX 11 in southern California, this “land movement” is breaking gas lines, cracking roads and causing homes to sink…
According to experts, land movement in Rancho Palos Verdes continues to accelerate. As a result, roads and homes continue to crack and sink.
On Friday, FOX 11 exclusively joined Alpha Structural to view the land movement up close in a neighborhood near Portuguese Bend.
“You have to think to yourself, this isn’t real,” said Damien Hammond, from Alpha Structural. “That’s how I feel here. I feel like I’m on a movie set, but in reality, this is 25 peoples’ homes.”
That last quote really nailed it.
At this point, Rancho Palos Verdes really does look like it belongs on the set of a science fiction movie.
This is a slow-motion natural disaster that authorities are powerless to stop, and the damage is getting worse with each passing day.
If you visit Rancho Palos Verdes you will discover that there is a giant “chasm” that is now running right through the middle of a neighborhood…
Drone video from the Alpha Structural team shows essentially a giant crack cutting through the neighborhood.
“This whole part just pulled away from over here, opened up a chasm,” said Joe Demers, a civil engineer with Alpha Structural. “This whole area moved about 5 feet in the last year or so, but then it really accelerated. In the last couple months, it’s moved another 4 or 5 feet.”
I have never heard of anything quite like this. This is something that you really need to see for yourself…
Normally, authorities will get concerned if the ground in a particular area is moving a few inches a year.
In this case, the ground is literally moving about a foot per week…
Within the last year or so, experts believe some areas have dropped more than 12 feet. Recently, experts have said the land is moving about 12 inches per week.
A total drop of more than 12 feet is quite dramatic.
So what is going to happen if the land continues to drop?
Already, so much land has moved that a “stunning new stretch of shoreline” has appeared…
Even still, months after the movement began, earth continues to shift, creating an unexpected and stunning new stretch of shoreline near Rancho Palos Verdes.
“Somebody said, ‘Oh, you know there’s a new beach.’ It’s not really a beach yet,” said city geologist Mike Phipps. “A beach typically has sand on it. This is just literally landslide debris, a lot of rocks being pushed up and out of the surf.”
This didn’t happen over millions of years.
This happened in just six months…
A few month’s difference is astonishing when viewing side-by-side photos of the shoreline pre-2024 and six months later, with a few hundred feet of new rocky shore that formed as the land continues to move, piling up under the water’s edge.
“What’s happening is, the ground is rising up and coming up, right through the ocean and lifting it up out of the ocean,” Phipps said.
Is this yet another sign that we are entering a time of increased geological instability for the state of California?
For years, I have warned that it is just a matter of time before “the Big One” arrives, and the clock is ticking.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of fish have been dying and washing up on shore in northern California…
Hundreds of thousands of lifeless fish have washed up on the shores of California’s Lake San Antonio in an unprecedented mass die-off affecting a wide variety of species.
The deaths began last week, when smaller baitfish were found at the water’s edge on Friday, but in the days since, larger and larger species of fish have also washed up on the lake’s beaches.
“It seems like every fish species in the lake is being impacted. We have never seen this type of multispecies die-off, especially on this scale,” Bryan Flores, Monterey County chief of parks, told SFGATE.
Authorities don’t seem to know why this is happening, and I don’t know why this is happening either.
Before I end this article, I wanted to mention a couple of other very strange natural events that have taken place recently.
Firstly, on Tuesday a meteor spectacularly exploded over Midtown Manhattan at 11:15 in the morning…
A meteor soared over the Statue of Liberty before disintegrating about 30 miles above Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday morning, according to NASA.
The space rock passed through the atmosphere over the Big Apple around 11:15 a.m. — the same time New Yorkers reported seeing a flash of fire streak across the sky and felt the ground lightly shaking beneath their feet.
Why didn’t our scientists see this meteor coming in advance?
And what would have happened if the meteor had been much larger and had made it all the way to the ground?
Secondly, earlier this month Hurricane Beryl slammed into the state of Texas, and it literally removed the head of a famous pro-abortion statue in Houston…

As Beryl stormed across Texas leaving millions without power, one particular point of destruction has some saying it was an act of God.
Taking up residence at the University of Houston following its reveal in New York City, the satanic, pro-abortion statue “Witness” was found beheaded in the aftermath of Beryl.
So many really weird things have been occurring lately.
Have you noticed that too?
Unfortunately, I am entirely convinced that things are going to get even weirder during the very difficult months and years that are ahead of us.
