Before 2010, the presence of sinkholes was a relatively uncommon phenomenon.
In the last 5 years there have been an unprecedented number of new sinkholes appearing around the planet on a size and scale never before seen. As of 2016, there are new ones opening up every day.
Not an isolated phenomenon, sinkholes are integrally linked to the emergence of other dramatic earth changes including increased earthquake activity, volcano eruptions, strange sounds and extreme weather events.
The emergence of so many sinkholes in such a short time is just one of many apparent portents of likely drastic changes to come. As they say - being forewarned is forearmed, and those who do not pay attention to the present become dreams of the past!
To find out more about just how many sinkholes have been appearing in recent years and how they are caused, watch the 13 minute video documentary below.
To understand how sinkholes tie into present day cosmic and earth changes, based on the electric universe theory, Pierre Lescaudron and Laura Knight-Jadczyk's book is a must read!

I love Sott. Read it every day. Have for years. I have read Pierre and Laura's book, and enjoyed it very much. Also read The Wave and the other two Secret History books. Enjoyed them very much also. Read the forum, some transcripts, lots of other stuff that makes me really like the information offered here.
I do not argue with the electric universe theory. I don't know enough about it either way. It does make a lot of sense. It also makes sense that macrocosmic forces have huge effects on planets, including ours. So, the idea of an electric universe dong to earth what is schematically depicted at the end of the video is not shocking. It makes very good sense.
I am also an expert geotechnical engineer. Have been for 20 years. 22 if you count graduate school at VA Tech, widely considered to be among the best geotechnical graduate programs, worldwide (had to take two years of physics while there). I have investigated sinkholes and landslides throughout my career, and it is a very rare discipline that I practice. In the entire metropolitan DC area where I live and practice, there are only a few of us who do this sort of thing. There's not much of a market for geotechnical ambulance-chasers, but at least I get to play in a huge sandbox.
I have seen no uptick in my workload over the last five years related to sinkholes. That could be unique to this geological setting, but I doubt it given the proximity to many geologic formations where sinkholes can form from time to time. Not far to the northwest there is a sizable karst region. They have engineering conferences every few years to talk about case-histories and such. It is not a new or expanding problem there, nor is it here in the DC area. Due to the size of the market, had there been, trust me I would be involved in some way.
I am familiar with one of the videos shown of the collapse in Maryland, and being aware of the market I serve, I understand it was not in the least caused by a sinkhole. It was an old, poorly-designed retaining wall, and as happens all the time, the soil eventually pushed the wall over in a dramatic way, but the wall was slowly creeping that way since the minute it was completed. It was not unusual or unprecedented in any way. These things happen from time to time as infrastructure comes to the end of it's useful life.
Another odd image from the video is from a recent article that I read on Sott. Or maybe it was a Quantum Quirk photo of a large, open-pit mine situated right next to the mining town. I believe it was in Siberia. As a specialist in heavy earthwork, I am naturally drawn to such stories and images. That one left an imprint. So when I saw it in the video, along with the Maryland collapse, I had to cry foul. That image in the video is of a hole dug in the ground by men. It is not of a sinkhole. So why is it in the video?
Nevertheless, I am no denier of geomorphic processes being connected to larger earth changes. I just happen to know this topic, at least the symptoms of it if not the electric-universe-inspired cause, better than anyone other than fellow geotechnical engineers who specialize in this sort of thing. Just check out my screen-name: geomo.
So understand my opinion is that this video, while nicely produced, looks like a biased presentation in favor of a hypothesis that is credible yet untested as far as I know. As someone with the expertise to connect these cosmic processes to what we see at ground-level and maybe help to mitigate risks to the community, I would like to know more.
