"Could possibly be that the more contemporary and plugged in humans are not as in tune with nature and inner awareness, whereas the more remote and primitive people are."

It also could be that these stories are the post hoc confabulations of a primitive culture that believes in magic and superstition, attributing any outcome to some "spiritual" experience, not even considering more realistic causes or explanations.

Actually, I'd heard that rescue workers were shocked not to find lots of dead animals among the debris and dead humans.

Animals know things we do not. I can't explain it, but I've seen it and I believe it. No doubt the tribal people have experienced the same.

YEAH YEAH YEAH!

Let's solve this uncomfortable "other-than-modern-scientific-'natural'" phenomenon

by being insanely rationalizing and supremely arrogantly condescending and hostile to the jungle bunnies, shall we?

The US, Russians and Chinese had and have remote viewing projects. I believe ours was funded by the CIA. The creator of the American project was Major Ed Dames who now teaches remote viewing classes.

It seems that these primitive tribes are pretty much surrounded by more modern locals who keep their distance; beach areas and lower-lying land is far more inviting to the fishermen and the tourist-types who come for only a few days but retain the desires of amenities. It is unlikely that the average tribe spends a good deal of time near the beaches or the lower, more tillable, land sought by his neighbors.

In short, maybe he really went nowhere.

Well I believe it. Think about it- we saw people standing and watching the Ocean receding "hundreds" of yards- without a shred of a reaction. People allowed their children to play in murky water and mud were the ocean had been.

The thought of the Ocean disappearing makes the short hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

We saw people standing and watching huge waves approaching as if it were just another day, while they stood there WITH THEIR CHIDLREN and were sightseeing. Primal instinct is to get your children out of harm's way- and it can kick in with the change of the wind- or an odd sound.

IT is as if some of these people had no primal instinct to get out of the way or to question what was going on with their surroundings.

It struck me that some of these people were caught off guard because the government hadn't issued a warning....Some of these folks seem to have forgotten that sometimes you need to figure these things out for yourself and get in tune with your instincts so you know when danger is approaching.

BTW-I am not blaming the victims but I think many of them have been lulled into a false security.

Technology is great and no way do I want to live in a tribal setting in a remote area- but humans are animals after all.... We do have instincts similar to our furry friends- and apparently those instincts have been erased in some people.
