Tsunami Warning South Pacific

[relentless]

A tsunami warning has been issued for New Zealand following a 7.9 magnitude earthquake off American Samoa.

The earthquake struck off American Samoa on Wednesday , according to the US Geological Survey.

The warning, issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre, a branch of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also covers Samoa and other small Pacific Islands in the area including Tonga and Fiji.

A tsunami watch is in effect for Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and other small Pacific islands.

The Centre told ONE News if a tsunami does reach New Zealand it would hit the North Island after 10am.

The epicentre of the quake was located 190 km southwest of the remote Pacific island. It struck at a depth of 33 km.

The agency noted that its warning did not mean a tsunami had necessarily been generated by the quake.

The warning was issued because a quake of this magnitude had the power to generate a destructive tsunami, it said.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A tsunami warning was issued for New Zealand and other small Pacific islands after a major 7.9 magnitude quake struck in the ocean off American Samoa, U.S. government agencies said on Tuesday.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, a branch of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, issued the warning after the quake hit about 120 miles southwest of the remote Pacific island of American Samoa. It struck at a depth of 20.5 miles.

A tsunami watch was in effect for Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and other small Pacific islands.

The agency noted that its warning did not mean a tsunami had necessarily been generated by the quake. The warning was issued because a quake of this magnitude had the power to generate a destructive tsunami, it said

Checked the news, they're saying it's not as bad as it sounds. However, I do understand the urgency the topic was posted at. 8.3 is huge.

[earthwalkr]

Don't panic yet, but let's consider some facts.
First off, the USNavy is conducting some horrible experiments in the Pacific and in the Atlantic as of this month of September. It will be ongoing. They are able to and allowed to "cause" earthquakes, like they did in Indonesia a few years back. Yes, they caused it with an underwater nuke. They, the USNavy are also able to test "weapons" in the Oceans not far from shore. The cover story has to do with "testing", but we all know better, right? :rolleyes:
This is NOT a natural earthquake! The resulting tsunami is eliminating some life in these areas.....oops! :eek: Do they care? NOT AT ALL. All part of the larger agenda to cause seemingly natural events to disrupt and distract us while they commit another beastly event to our demise.
Think about this.

I bet Prince Charles is more worried about the carbon footprint, just think...8.3 - nearly as much carbon release as the whole of the royal family;)

Everybody should not start up their cars for a week, while things get back to normal.:D

[yozhik]

the USNavy is conducting some horrible experiments in the Pacific and in the Atlantic [...] They are able to and allowed to "cause" earthquakes, like they did in Indonesia a few years back.

That's a fairly substantial claim/accusation.
Anything to back it up?

Credible link?
Documentation?
Evidence?

Did New York Orchestrate The Asian Tsunami?

With Afghanistan and Iraq already lost, the Wall Street bankers were all desperately looking for other ways to control our world, when suddenly and very conveniently, the Sumatran Trench exploded. Trick or Treat?

Copyright Joe Vialls, 5 January 2005, Updated 4 February 2005

Click here for: "Secret OSS Plans to Trigger Earthquakes in Japan"

If anyone's interested I have the whole article.

Vialls died soon after stating this.


The Indian Government knew full well that this was not a "normal" earthquake. On 27 December India refused to join George Bush's planned exclusive 'club of four', which would have effectively pulled this Asian nuclear power out of its new coalition with Russia, China and Brazil. On 28 December the Indian Government politely warned the American military to stay clear of Indian sovereign territory, and on 29 December the India Daily Editorial publicly questioned the nature of the event: "Was this a showdown by a country to show the region what havoc can be created?" ... "Given the level of devastation and given the fact India is a regional power in South Asia, [the] Indian Navy has an obligation to investigate and tell the world what they found."

Theoretically, the American 9 megaton W-53 thermonuclear warhead shown on the left, could easily be encased in a small 'lookalike' saturation diving chamber similar to that on the right, to protect it from the massive 10,000 pounds per square inch pressures at the bottom of the Sumatran Trench. The whole armored package would weigh less than five tons, allowing it to be slipped over the stern of any oil rig supply vessel, of which there are more than 300 in Asia alone. Who would even notice?

Meaning of the Seismic Records - 911

Seismic records of the Twin Tower collapses show a large signal for each collapse lasting just under 10 seconds. The durations of the large signals are widely equated with the durations of the collapses themselves. However, the signals may correspond to only parts of the collapse events, such as the rubble reaching the ground.


http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/collapses/docs/wtc2level_s.jpg

http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/collapses/docs/wtc1level_s.jpg

Consider the seismic records http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/seismic.html of the closest seismic recording station, at Palisades, NY (PAL). They show a very similar pattern for the leveling of WTC 1 and 2. In both cases there is about five seconds of high-amplitude movement, followed by about three seconds of movement at less than half that amplitude, and then by about 15 seconds of much weaker movement. In addition there is some still weaker movement starting about 12 seconds before the onsets of the high-amplitude movement. The main difference is that for WTC 1 the initial high-amplitude phase builds in intensity to a much higher spike than any seen for WTC 2.
The fact that the largest movement is followed by smaller movement has been cited as evidence that bombs, detonated at the starts of the collapses, generated the large movement, and that the debris impacting the ground contributed to the smaller subsequent movement. However, bombs, if detonated underground, would have generated strong P waves in addition to S waves. The fact that only strong S waves were reported is consistent with the theory that the largest movement was caused by building remains hitting the ground.

After the December 26 thermonuclear weapon was detonated in the Sumatra Trench, Australian authorities knocked back all requests for seismic traces of the event, using stupid excuses like "our equipment wasn’t switched on", "Australian seismographs cannot record above 8.0 on the Richter Scale", and "You must ask the American authorities about that". In other words, Australian officials were ordered to lie to the Australian public. This was all forgotten on March 28 this year, when Australian government geophysicists excitedly displayed the seismic trace of the Sumatran 8.7 earthquake, thus proving their equipment could read any magnitude, and furthermore proving they blatantly lied back in December.

Put bluntly, New York has Australia’s officials by the balls.

Regarding nuke or eathquake, i watched a program on this very subject, if it was an earthquake, then because two plates lift effectivly what is the sea floor, this is how it would start, as i understand it... if a nuke was detonated, i cannot see it having the same effect, to lift the sea be would take massive forces.

i just dont know if a nuke could??

[always_rebel]

Great earthquakes do not occur with great frequency on earth. Great earthquakes occur on the average every ten years. In the 20th century there have been about a dozen earthquakes with magnitude greater than 8 that can be characterized as great.

For two great earthquakes to occur so close to each other in time and space - as the 26 December 2004 and the 28 March 2005 events - is very unusual.

And now we have the third. All in the space of 5 years!!!

Tsunami hits American Samoa
By FILI SAGAPOLUTELE – 18 minutes ago

PAGO PAGO, American Samoa — A powerful 8.3-magnitude earthquake struck in the South Pacific between Samoa and American Samoa around dawn Tuesday, sending terrified residents fleeing for higher ground as a tsunami swept ashore, flattening at least one village. There were no immediate reports of fatalities.

The temblor hit at 6:48 a.m. Tuesday (1748 GMT) midway between the two island groups. In Apia, families reported shaking that lasted for up to three minutes. The U.S. Geological Service said the quake struck 20 miles (35 kilometers) below the ocean floor, 120 miles (190 kilometers) from American Samoa and 125 miles (200 kilometers) from Samoa.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a general alert for the South Pacific region, from American Samoa to New Zealand. It said there were indications a tsunami wave could be "destructive" along some coastlines.

New Zealander Graeme Ansell said the beach village of Sau Sau Beach Fale was leveled.

"It was very quick. The whole village has been wiped out," Ansell told National Radio from a hill near Samoa's capital, Apia. "There's not a building standing. We've all clambered up hills, and one of our party has a broken leg. There will be people in a great lot of need 'round here."

A tsunami swept into Pago Pago, capital of American Samoa, shortly after the earthquake, sending sea water surging inland about 100 yards (meters) before receding, leaving some cars stuck in mud.

The staff of the port ran to higher ground, and police soon came by, telling residents to get inland.

In Fagatogo, water reached the waterfront town's meeting field and covered portions of the main highway, which also was plagued by rock slides.

In Samoa, the powerful quake jolted people awake.

"It was pretty strong; it was long and lasted at least two minutes," one resident told local radio.

"It's the strongest I have felt, and we ran outside. You could see all the trees and houses were shaking," he said.

Sulili Dusi told New Zealand's National Radio that "everything dropped on the floor and we thought the house was going to go down as well. Thank God, it didn't." Along with neighbors, they fled to high ground.

She said the tsunami hit the south side of the island, and some "cars have been taken." She did not elaborate, but added "we just thank God no life has been taken yet."

Another resident, Dean Phillips, said the southern coast of Upolu island had been struck by the tsunami.

"The police are sending everybody up to high ground," he said.

Local media said they had reports of some landslides in the Solosolo region of the main Samoan island of Upolu and damage to plantations in the countryside outside Apia.

There were no immediate reports of injury or serious damage from local emergency services, but people reported cracks in some homes and items tossed from shelves.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu issued a tsunami warning for numerous islands in the Pacific, including the Samoas, the Cook Islands, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, French Polynesia and Palmyra Island.

The center posted a tsunami watch for Hawaii, Vanuatu, the Marshall Islands, Solomon Island, Johnston Island, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Wake Island, Midway Island and Pitcairn.

In New Zealand, a tsunami alert was issued by national Civil Defense, and the nation's national emergency center was activated.

Associated Press writer Keni Lesi contributed to this report from Apia, Samoa.

Deaths have been reported after a tsunami hit the island of American Samoa following an earthquake in the Pacific Ocean.

Sky News: First For Breaking News

The quake measured 8.0 on the Richter scale.

Stuart Weinstein from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre told Sky News a two-metre high wave had struck the capital Pago Pago.

He also said the size of it was "potentially destructive".

The centre in Honolulu, Hawaii, issued a tsunami warning for American Samoa and other areas of the Pacific, including New Zealand.

A tsunami watch was posted elsewhere, including Hawaii and the Marshall Islands.

The quake happened at 6:48am (local time) halfway between Samoa and American Samoa.

In the Samoan capital Apia, families fled their homes for higher ground.

There were reports of severe shaking that lasted for up to three minutes.

New Zealander Graeme Ansell said the beach village of Sau Sau Beach Fale had been levelled.

The epicenter of the quake was located 120 miles southwest of American Samoa and at a depth of 11.2 miles, said the US Geological Survey.

Powerful quake off Samoa islands

A powerful earthquake has struck near the Samoa islands, triggering a potentially destructive tsunami along the coasts of several Pacific nations.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC) said the quake registered 8.3. There are unconfirmed reports of damage and casualties in Samoa.

Waves of 5ft (1.57m) above sea level were recorded in Apia, capital of Samoa, and Pago Pago in American Samoa.

Reports from the area say people in Samoa are fleeing to higher ground.

Witnesses have reported scenes of destruction.

"Its horrible... The village is gone and my once beautiful beach front villa has now being submerged in water," Josh Nayangu told the BBC after fleeing the area on a small fishing boat with his wife and son.

The quake hit at 1748 GMT at a depth of 33km (20 miles) some 190km from Samoa's capital Apia.

General alert

"Based on all available data, a tsunami may have been generated by this earthquake that could be destructive on coastal areas even far from the epicentre," the PTWC - a branch of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - said in a statement on its website.

Stuart Weinstein of the PTWC told the BBC that the agency was monitoring the situation.

A tsunami warning has been issued for the Samoa islands, New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said.

In 2004, a Boxing Day quake in the Indian Ocean generated a powerful tsunami that killed tens of thousands people in Asia.

Mr Weinstein said Tuesday's quake was "much smaller" than that tsunami, and only had 3% of the energy generated by the 2004 quake.

He said he expected the quake to be destructive in the areas closest to the epicentre, but said it "remains to be seen" how far any devastation would spread.

A tsunami watch is also in effect for Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and other small Pacific islands, although no warning has been issued in these areas as yet.

The Samoa islands comprise two separate entities - the nation of Samoa and American Samoa, a US territory - with a total population of about 250,000 people."

I have been following this earthquake all evening (CET).

I am now listening to Hawaii AM940 live radio streaming. So far they have given no indication of any danger. They are playing traditional Hawaiian music.

The tsunami watch for Hawaii has been cancelled.

As a frequent visitor to Polynesia, my main concern is on the really low lying islands, Niue and Tuvalu, which are under Tsunami warning. Also thinking of the Tuamotus which are also low-lying.

... A TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH ARE IN EFFECT ...

A TSUNAMI WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A tsunami warning was issued for New Zealand and other small Pacific islands after a major 7.9 magnitude quake struck in the ocean off American Samoa, U.S. government agencies said on Tuesday.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, a branch of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, issued the warning after the quake hit about 120 miles southwest of the remote Pacific island of American Samoa. It struck at a depth of 20.5 miles.

A tsunami watch was in effect for Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and other small Pacific islands.

The agency noted that its warning did not mean a tsunami had necessarily been generated by the quake. The warning was issued because a quake of this magnitude had the power to generate a destructive tsunami, it said

hmmm.... so... we issue a global pandemic even though the virus is relatively harmless, and even through we have all the technology to know this, we "don't know" if a tsunami was generated... eyes off of politics citizens! The boogyman is coming! Get your vaccines and return to your government dormatories.

The trouble about Sky News is that they don't give any details. There are lots of islands in the region. Their information is very vague.

Eh. Sky news is owned by Rupert Murdoch, isn't it?

[concordewarrior]

I have spent a lot of time around these Polynesian Islands. My concern is not New Zealand but low lying flat islands such as Tonga, Niue, Walllis, Futuna, Tuvalu, Tokelau, the Northern Cook Islands and the Tuamotus (Western French Polynesia).

Hawaii is out of danger. There is no more Tsunami watch.

Just received this from NZ:
It (tsunami) hit the East Cape of NZ and is scheduled to hit Auckland at 1112. Didn't do any destruction though.

You have to take into account that all these regions are in the Ring of Fire and highly volcanic including under sea volcanos.

The Pacific is swarming with Volcanos. Asia and the Indian Ocean are too. They are all over.

The chain of islands in Indonesia with the Lesser Sunda islands are where some of the deadliest volcanos are, Mt Bromo, Merapi and others.

Western Samoa has a couple of big active volcanos, there was a big eruption fairly recently. Cosmic time is counted in light years. You have to remember that.

Hawaii has heaps of Volcanos some erupting and some extinct. The Philippines and Japan do too.

There is no need to think of HAARP. These eartquakes have been happening for ages. Now we have the media, the Internet and mobile phones so the news go around really fast.

'Three dead' in tsunami off Samoa

A tsunami caused by a powerful earthquake in the South Pacific has killed at least three people and injured 50 in Samoa, officials said.
Dr Lemalu Fiu of the main hospital in the capital, Apia, said the number of casualties is expected to rise as the injured arrive from coastal areas.

An 8.3-magnitude quake struck at 1748 GMT, generating 5.1ft (1.57m) waves in Apia and Pago Pago, American Samoa.

A tsunami warning has been issued for all of New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC) said the quake struck at a depth of 33km (20 miles) some 190km from Apia.

Radio New Zealand quoted Samoan residents as saying that villages were inundated and homes and cars swept away.

Reports from the area say people in Samoa are fleeing to higher ground. Witnesses have reported scenes of destruction.

lastest news (Brietbart) 14 dead, more expected

[kimone]

Don't panic yet, but let's consider some facts.
First off, the USNavy is conducting some horrible experiments in the Pacific and in the Atlantic as of this month of September. It will be ongoing. They are able to and allowed to "cause" earthquakes, like they did in Indonesia a few years back. Yes, they caused it with an underwater nuke. They, the USNavy are also able to test "weapons" in the Oceans not far from shore. The cover story has to do with "testing", but we all know better, right? :rolleyes:
This is NOT a natural earthquake! The resulting tsunami is eliminating some life in these areas.....oops! :eek: Do they care? NOT AT ALL. All part of the larger agenda to cause seemingly natural events to disrupt and distract us while they commit another beastly event to our demise.
Think about this.

i agree with you 100% you took the words right out of my mouth earthwkr :)

yozhik,

I so want to give you what you are wanting to know. I have an inside, high level contact, that so far has proven to be spot on with everything! :D
I have spent many years dodging those who have actively tried to kill me, so far, I am still alive. I have chosen to stay anonymous and the same for my contact, who also has been pursued heavily. They target not only us personally, but our extended families. I am a grandma with 6 grandkids. I want them left alone.
I could also tell you the truth behind TWA #800. It would shock your skivvies off! There is SO many lies out there masquerading as the truth. It is slowly coming out piece by piece. I would like it to be quicker. The sooner the masses understand the lies perpetrated against them, the sooner TPTB can be eliminated.
I have decided to not tell, to keep myself safe. I hope you agree with me on this. ;)

Deadly tsunami in Pacific islands

The devastation caused by the tsunami in American Samoa

A tsunami triggered by a strong quake in the South Pacific has killed at least 65 people in Samoa and more than 20 in American Samoa, say reports.

The Samoan authorities say at least another 145 people have been injured and whole villages destroyed.

American Samoa's delegate to the US Congress said thousands of people had been left homeless in the territory.

An 8.3-magnitude quake struck at 1748 GMT, generating 15ft-high (4.5m) waves in some areas of the islands.

The Samoa islands comprise two separate entities - the nation of Samoa and American Samoa, a US territory - with a total population of about 250,000 people.

A tsunami warning was initially issued for the wider region but cancelled a few hours later.

The general manager of Samoa's National Health Service told the BBC that 65 people had died and 145 people were injured.

US President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in American Samoa, enabling federal funding to made available to help victims.

Floating cars

"Some of the areas there are only a few feet above sea level, so you can imagine the devastation," said Eni Faleomavaega, who represents American Samoa in the US.

"It caused severe damage to property, there are cars floating everywhere."



The high waves damaged property and swept cars out to sea
Mr Faleomavaega told the BBC the waves had "literally wiped out all the low-lying areas in the Samoan islands," causing deaths and injuring "several hundred".

He said the tsunami had hit within minutes of the quake, leaving people with no time to escape.

"There would have been no warning system capable of giving adequate warning to the people," he said.

Dr Lemalu Fiu, at a hospital in the Samoan capital, Apia, said the number of casualties was expected to rise as people arrived from coastal areas.

Talutala Mauala, Secretary General of the Red Cross in Samoa, said she was travelling to the country's south coast, where many injuries were reported.

"We won't know the full extent of the damage until we get there and see for ourselves," she said.

Ms Mauala said it could take many months for people to rebuild their homes.

An Associated Press reporter said he had seen "bodies everywhere" in the main hospital in Lalomanu, on Samoa's main island of Upolu, including at least one child.

Several foreign tourists are thought to be among the dead.

Beaches gone

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC) said the quake struck at a depth of 33km (20 miles) some 190km (120 miles) from Apia. Waves of 5.1ft (1.57m) hit Apia and Pago Pago in American Samoa.

Radio New Zealand quoted Samoan residents as saying that villages were inundated and homes and cars swept away.

Graeme Ansell, a New Zealander near Apia, told the radio station the beach village of Sau Sau Beach Fale had been "wiped out".

"There's not a building standing. We've all clambered up hills, and one of our party has a broken leg. There will be people in a great lot of need around here," he said.

Samoalive News said local radio stations had been receiving reports of high sea swells hitting coastal areas on the eastern and southern side of Upolu island.

"School has been called off for the day with tsunami warnings calling for people to head to higher grounds," the website said.

Witnesses have reported scenes of destruction.



"It's horrible... The village is gone and my once beautiful beach front villa has now been submerged in water," Josh Nayangu told the BBC after fleeing the area on a small fishing boat with his wife and son.

The PTWC - a branch of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - issued a general alert for the South Pacific region, but it was cancelled by 2200 GMT. "

"Dozens feared dead as tsunami sweeps Samoa•Toll expected to rise as power cuts hamper rescue

• Villages swept away, as floodwaters swallow homes and cars

Dozens of people were feared dead and many more have been injured after a powerful earthquake triggered a tsunami that swept the Pacific islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Cars and people were swept out to sea by the fast-churning water as survivors fled to high ground, where they remained huddled hours later. Signs of devastation were everywhere, with villages flattened, a giant boat getting washed ashore and coming to rest on the edge of a highway and floodwaters swallowing up cars and homes.

The quake, of magnitude 8.3, struck midway between the two islands at 6.48pm BST, sending a tidal wave into Apia, the capital of Samoa and a 5ft tsunami into Pago Pago, the capital of American Samoa.

At least 82 people were feared dead as villages were destroyed across Samoa. One agency reporter said there were "bodies everywhere" in the main hospital on the Samoan island of Upolu, including at least one child. She said three or four villages had been wiped out along a popular tourist coast near Lalomanu, on the island's southern coast.

Hampered by power and communications outages, officials struggled to assess the casualties and damage. But the death toll seemed sure to rise, with dead bodies already piling up at a hospital in Samoa.

In Washington, President Barack Obama issued a disaster declaration, making federal funds available to victims in American Samoa.

US coast guard spokesman Lieutenant John Titchen said a C-130 was being dispatched to deliver aid to American Somoa, assess damage and take the governor back home.


ViewSamoain a larger map
In Samoa, the wave reportedly sent water and debris surging up to 100 metres inland, leaving terrified residents fleeing their homes for higher ground. In Apia, witnesses said they had experienced shaking that lasted for up to three minutes. Businesses and schools were forced to close and the city was left virtually deserted with thousands of people gathered on nearby hills, according to reports. Villagers reported cars and houses washed out on to reefs.

One resident, Teresa Sulili Dusi, told her local radio: "Our house has been taken by the tsunami and we have lost everything. Everything dropped on the floor and we thought the house was going to go down as well. Thank God, it didn't." She said the family had been forced, with others, to flee to higher ground.

Graeme Ansell, a New Zealander who was at the beach village of Sau Sau Beach Fale, on Samoa, said it had been levelled by the wave. "It was very quick. The whole village has been wiped out," Ansell told a New Zealand radio station from a hill near Apia. "There's not a building standing. We've all clambered up hills, and one of our party has a broken leg. There will be people in a great lot of need round here."

The territory is home to a US National Park that appeared to be especially hard-hit. Holly Bundock, spokeswoman for the National Park Service's Pacific West Region in Oakland, California, said the superintendent of the park and another staffers had been able to locate only a fifth of the park's 13 to 15 employees and 30 to 50 volunteers.

Mike Reynolds, superintendent of the National Park of American Samoa, was quoted as saying four tsunami waves 15 to 20 feet high roared ashore soon afterward, reaching up to a mile inland.

The Pacific tsunami warning centre said it had issued a general alert for the region, which includes the Cook Islands, New Zealand and Hawaii, and was monitoring the situation. Hawaii, which was initially put on tsunami alert, was later downgraded. Japan's Meteorological Agency also issued a tsunami warning along that country's eastern coast.

The US Geological Service said the earthquake struck about 20 miles below the ocean floor and was followed 20 minutes later by an aftershock of magnitude 5.6.

Brian Atwater, a tsumami expert for the USGS, said although the earthquake and tsunami were big they were not on the scale of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami that killed 150,000 people, which was 10 times as strong.

Samoa and American Samoa have a combined population of about 250,000."

[adbasque]

Well I don't believe for one minute that these Tsunamis are natural, they are triggered.

To cause devastation and reduce populations, I am convinced they are not natural, but we can never prove it.

I relate to your suspicions, and it is only natural in lieu of the shadow elite illusion. However, many (though maybe not all) of the forthcoming earthquakes and tsunamis are of natural origin. They are an important part of the purification process, the purification of Earth as a planet, and also of the global conscious collective. Europe will also be affected and we should prepare for this consciously. It's important to remember that nobody is being punished for anything and this is an integral part of the Divine Plan. There will be many souls who leave the planet during the next year or so and they have chosen to do so. Death is an illusion. It's important to empathise and show compassion to the families of the souls that have left, but please try not to be afraid and continue to rise above the negative and focus on your personal upliftment and development.

PMSL yep it reduced the population by what a few hundred :eek:

The way to reduce population is airborne virus , not pissing about nocking a few hundered off here and there !!

[archemis]

I think it's paradoxical that the Illuminati would want to reduce the population of Earth by, some say, up to 80% .. it's more likely that they would like to put fear into 80% of the Earth's population, via conspiracy theories such as this, because fear creates the negative frequencies upon which the shadow elite thrive. Alive, frightened people are much more valuable to them than dead ones.

i was reading that nuclear attacks under sea were an attempt to destroy submerged bases of et, that are enemy of the bosses of the ptb.

[father ted]

Yeah, if they really wanted to reduce the Earth's population, they would do it by other means. I believe the earthquakes are not natural still. I go with Swerdlow's explanation that they are raising the ancient continents, and this is a by product.

They all means to wipe out as many as they possibly can, they don't want to raise suspicions, some by wars, some by viruses, some by "natural" disasters and so on..

They also use it to destabilise political opponents, blackmails etc..

Blackmailing nations that don't want to surrender or dance to their tunes.

There's nothing laughable here :)

I believe they use the "conspiracy theories" against us yes, in a way to discredit any conspiracy that is pointing a finger at them.

But I know they have been tampering with natural disasters for over 30 years, I don't know if you remember the French nuclear experiments that rallied the world back in the 70s.

Not to mention Britain, USA and Israel.

Russians, Chinese you name it.

To trigger earthquakes it's easier than we think.
But we should not live in fear that is exactly what they want us to do, to see them as invincible and we live our lives in fear.

OK the human population on earth is 7billion give or take a bit!! That's a lot of 9.3 earthquakes with tsunamis every week killing a couple of hundred thousand people a pop .

If they have the technology to start large earthquakes they also have the technology to set off mega volcanoes thus really fucking everybody up. :rolleyes:

Who would care if they raised any suspicion if most people were dying, hardly going to matter to the dead and dying or the few that are left is it !! ??

Yes we are near 9 billion acutally, but they are not going to wipe out 80% of us in one go, they have some here somethere, etc.. and also they use them to intimidate other nations.

I don't know if you were aware of the Iron fist between USA and India few years ago.
There was tension between the two countries, it wasn't reported on the msm of course, but there was real tension between the two countries, well I'd say between the Elite and the Indian Government.

Falsh floods, earthquakes, hurricanes etc.. have been used before, it's not the first time.
As for Volcanoes I am not sure whether they have the technology that will allow them to trigger them. (I believe yes) but I am not sure.

Besides volcanoes can affect them too, they can't be controlled like Tsunamis and Earthquakes.

Anyway I know the technology exists, when the French were carrying out their nuclear tests a lot of small earthquakes were reported in the region, few hundred miles away.

So it's more than possible

[dolores1]

If it hits where I am.. we've got 1 1/2 hrs from now and its going right through the kitchen window.. I live 200 metres from the coast. Well done the US Navy:mad:

I hope you and all in the area are safe, I'll be thinking about you.

[dolores1]

Red lights flashing anyone?


Regarding nuke or eathquake, i watched a program on this very subject, if it was an earthquake, then because two plates lift effectivly what is the sea floor, this is how it would start, as i understand it... if a nuke was detonated, i cannot see it having the same effect, to lift the sea be would take massive forces.

i just dont know if a nuke could??

A device in the correct spot would do this is just requires the right placing for the upwards thrust.

[azureangel]

We have experienced numerous tsunami watches here over the years. Yesterday at about 11 AM, (I was on the East side of the island) a friend and I watched as 5 fire trucks and the fire "sherrif"? drove down the road toward the ocean and main highway, probably heading to the South side. We were told that the tsunami was to hit at around 1 PM Pacific time. Warning cancelled later, as on numerous other occasions. I suspect that, if these are generated artificially, Hawaii is avoided. We have a lot of "defense" technology here and the major source of income is tourism, which is mostly all based around the oceanside areas. Add Pearl Harbor. Anyone else here live in Hawaii? Love to connect with you...PM if you like, love, angel

[earthwalkr]

Azureangel,

Hawaii is protected strongly, being the heart center of the planet. TPTB have trouble existing in that environment, which is Divine Love, an ancient land mass called Lemuria or Mu. It is sad that US military bases are there. That and all the tourism. But soon, all that will be changing!!! Similar to how the island of Kauai has handled it, by not allowing massive building and limiting commercial business.
I have heard that the island of Kauai, the garden island, has some neat vortices of powerful energy there and has many areas that are stilled attuned to Lemuria's energy.
That is my destination and hopefully soon. It is to be the epicenter of a transformed and healed world.
I currently live in California, but it has changed so much since I grew up here that it's energy is in the toilet!!!! This state, back in the day, use to be the center for aware, non-conformists who PROTESTED against all that was wrong at that time. I know, I was a part of those Berkeley marches to get out of Vietnam!!! People would gather together for days and talk about WHAT TO DO about the current situation, and then DO IT!!!! It was an exciting time. Now it's dead in comparison. College kids are all about conforming and chasing the dollar. Sorry, got off topic.
Tsunami warning signs are all over the coast here, but so far nothing.
Since the USNavy's exercises out in the Pacific though, I wouldn't be surprised to see something occur along the coast. They want panic and fear, for that is what they feed off of.

[relentless]

I hope you and all in the area are safe, I'll be thinking about you.


Thanks delores, all good here, Samoa got nailed and the tsunami wiped out some coastal villages, people died. The "tsuami waves" reached all pacific coasts, from alaska to antarctica, they had reduced in size and impact.
Another large earthquake today in indonesia... is the pacific waking up?
