LIMA -- An extremely powerful and long-lasting earthquake struck Peru on Wednesday night, killing at least 135 people, destroying houses, downing power and telephone lines and triggering brief fears of a tsunami.

The earthquake lasted about two minutes, registered 7.9 on the Richter Scale and injured at least 1,300, according to the latest estimate by authorities early

Aye its awful. What about this??? Be interesting to see the documented flashes

This is from http://www.expansions.com/QA_Comments.cfm

The earthquake that hit almost the entire country was rather strange. First off because there were like 5 to 9 soundless gigantic flashes lighting up the entire sky prior & after the seismic movement. It was even footaged by several people in far away locations in Lima town. As you may know the political relationships between Chile and Peru are deteriorating to the point that yesterday Chile was aiming to send its war machinery to the border of both countries. Now It could be that this earthquake was somewhat artificial, in order to weaken or distract the peruvians. Do you find this possible or just paranoia?. I read you said it was just the beginning. The USA has always been an unconditional ally to Chile, especially because Peru amongst other countries is a major supplier of water, which is an asset for wars in the not so near future.


Stewart's Reply: The flashes were documented, even officially, but claimed to be sparks from power plants. Right!

This is evidence that the quake was artificially induced or enhanced. However, I doubt that Chile had anything to do with it. Rather, it is more likely a diversion from somethng else that we will find out about shortly.

There is a lot going on under the Earth that may have more to do with this quake than anything on the surface politically

for a long time now i have watched with interest these enviromental catastrophes thing is it would appear that when one happens in the west a responce happens in the east really really looks like tit for tat thus suggesting human intervention. i thought i was paranoid for a while but it just seems to show itself every single time for instance last week america had a bridge disaster the week before china did. week before that india had floods week before the uk did.
