Earthquake Technology

01/21/2010 11:30 PM

It is widely commented the leader countries can control energy in such a way that they can cause earthquakes or conduct storms. Is it just a fiction idea or there is some real potential to do it through microwaves or nuclear fision, or something?

This sounds mostly like fiction. However, if considerable shear stress has built up along a fault, it is conceivable that a large explosion like nuclear could be a triggering event. I think the vast bulk of energy would come from the tectonic forces rather than the bomb.

A buried bomb might create a mild and localized "earthquake" on its own, but probably not very significant. I haven't seen any numbers on this, however, so it's only a guess.

Some drilling for a geothermal central generated earth movements probably due to migration of water in the ground. But it is not a consequence of "energy manipulations"

Where, and by whom is it, "widely commented"?

"Widely Commented" by Hugo Chavez, who also believes the US can generate hurricanes, droughts, tsunamis, and virtually any other sort of natural disaster one can think of (without the use of nuclear weapons- apparently the US military has access to some pretty serious non-detectable energy generating machines), as the US prepares to invade Venezuela from Aruba, Bonaire, and the other Netherlands Island that starts with a "c" which I can neither spell no pronounce.

He also sees the US earthquake relief effort in Haiti as a "front" for the eventual takeover of that island nation by the Evil Empire of The North.

I am only reporting what I have read in the News. Information in this missive is totally unrelated to anything I might consider even remotely resembles the truth...

Thanks for clearing that up. Glad to hear it was such a credible source.

To all

If we can flow the standard of US Army construction meathed during the earth quick the buildings will never fall and the casulity is very much limited,i mean the death may not even 1%

i think he meant that he was impressed by the work of the us army corps of engineers on the levees in new orleans during katrina. milo

I see why the ???...

Perhaps a translation into English might help.

Original comment:

"If we can flow the standard of US Army construction meathed during the earth quick the buildings will never fall and the casulity is very much limited,i mean the death may not even 1%"

Translation:

If we can follow the standard of US Army construction method during the earthquake, the buildings will never fall and the casualty rate will be very much limited; I mean the deaths maybe not even 1%.

[I was trying to visualize the flow of an Army meathead!]

Sincerely yours--Editor Crankshaft

Theoretically, it is possible to use explosive charges set up within a faultline to either trigger off an earthquake or to relieve seismic stress loads to avert or at least reduce the magnitude of one. In reality, if it was actually feasible or even possible to do such a thing, then the government will probably much rather detonate charges within the San Andreas Fault periodically to prevent future earthquakes in California rather than allow them to occur naturally, simply because it woud be much more economical to do this than to rebuild the damage caused by an earthquake.

Frankly speaking, I won't bother giving credence to any of the hogwash uttered by Hugo Cesar Chavez. The best possible proof that he's full of bull lies in the fact that Washington hasn't yet unleashed a devastating hurricane or tsunami against Venezuela to wipe him off the face of the Earth.

By the way, another such lunatic is former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, who claims that "the 9/11 attack was a controlled demolition orchestrated by the Jews to serve as an excuse to oppress Muslims". Going by what these national leaders have claimed, I guess mental illness does not preclude someone from running for public office.

What? You mean the United States is not in cahoots with the Netherlands to use the Netherlands Antilles as a base for the invasion of Venezuela??? I was hoping we would get a good demonstration of how one stuffs such a major force on such small islands...

For earthquakes, the technology required to produce even a small geological event would be physically impossible to hide. If it can't be hidden, where is it?

As for storms, no one has the math to make weather technology that could be used as a weapon - the results would be out of control.

There are ways of seeding clouds to make it rain, locally. I believe I read that they used that tech in Beijing before the Olympics, so it wouldn't be raining on the opening parade. A storm is a different order of business - again, these systems are huge and would only respond to equally massive energy inputs which would require a noticeable infrastructure...

Where I live, Murphy's Law will make it rain if I hang the laundry out on the line. The 'leader countries' have no interest in my weather needs.

Everybody knows that it always rains after you wash the car. Maybe that's how you unleash a storm: by getting a 1,000 people to wash their cars in the same place at the same time.
