:LOL:

Is it bad that when I saw the news about this earthquake this morning, I immediately thought of teedubya posting wild theories about why the earthquake happened? I'm not joking, that's really the first thing I thought of.

Well, it may not be the BIGGEST... I said... "One of the Biggest", which it certainly is.

I've personally never seen anything like it... Indonesia was crazy, but this earthquake was HUGE.

Plus, the sky isn't falling, the ground is cracking. :evil:

"****ing Dumbass" would work for me, but that was well established before he started his chicken little routine.

I'm glad I'm in your head, making you finally think for a change. :-)

My sister and her husband in Kailua-Kona are okay. Apparently a lot of water. I quote: "It appears that Alii Drive was under water to a depth of several feet and well back across the road. The pier was completely covered and the King Kam has a foot of water in the lobby. Reports of homes in Kealekekua Bay ripped off their foundations and floating in the bay." Didn't affect them directly, their home is well up on a mountain, but they are concerned about some folks they know.

Youtube time-lapse photography someone took of the surges there:

ROFL. If I'm "****ing Dumbass" what would your name be, since obviously you are more of a dumbass and a bet welcher. o:-)

Nah, I thought about this stuff a lot before I met you. I used to read abovetopsecret.com all the time. I found it terribly interesting, but I got tired of the nutjobs so I don't really visit anymore.

Have you ever visited that site? You'd probably love it. (Not insulting...I really think you'd love it)

The 2004 quake was larger in magnitude than this one.

Lots of telecommunication and power infrastructure knocked out plus there's higher priority things to be doing than taking a head count right now.

That number will drop drastically I'm sure.

:D

Yeah, I've been there.... Not too often, but I'm familiar with it.

The reason that I explore all of this stuff and find it endlessly fascinating is the indigenous cultures of the world predicting that shit would go crazy during this time.

Plus, I find the government to be very corrupt, so I always look at things from a skewed perspective.

I ask "Who has the most to gain" and in most instances its the govt... I also watch for the classic "Create a problem... wait for a reaction... offer solution" that rears its ugly head time and again.

Most people suck on mainstream media's teet, whereas I look for what the real story is. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong... and Im not afraid to question the official story. Sometimes that makes me a "kook", but my self worth and opinion of myself isn't based on others opinions of me. I'm a free thinker. :-)

This disaster is completely natural in my estimation, although HAARP was going at full blast during the time of the earthquake. So, I'm not 100% sure of it being completely natural. But then again, that is me. I was in the military, I know somethings aren't as they appear to most citizens... and that is fine.

Another myth debunked through tragedy.

haha.. **** me. I meant to say "one of"

I think I'll go to the site Loochy recommended now and be with "my people". ROFL

Wait until you guys find out the energy companies are experimenting with actually triggering earthquakes in order to generate tsunamis in order to harness the power of wave energy.

:LOL:

About time we start getting some of these alternative power sources going.

teedub, I wonder what your definition of "the government" is. What does Barak Obama stand to gain from any one of your conspiracy theories?

"Play with it, son, but don't talk to it."

Teedubya sure has been sniffing alot of Jankem.

I read USGS reports the 8.9 magnitude quake ripped a hole in the Earth's crust 150 miles long and 50 miles across.

Yikes.

Here is some interesting evidence that shows HAARP has been fired up these last 3 days in the area. Not saying, but it sure is interesting.

Most of you have probably never even heard of HAARP.

http://www.pakalertpress.com/2011/03...aarp-evidence/

Not saying this is the truth, but interesting to look at, and to come to a conclusion for yourself.

Link?

Obama is a pawn, man. It's a ONE party system masquerading as a two party system.

The Central Bankers own and control everything... so, the dollar is being propped up...

Now, if this earthquake was created, which I'm doubting is the case, the only thing it would stand to gain from it, would be to pummel the 3rd largest economy, which would prop up the dollar temporarily.

Fired up in what area?

:facepalm:

I have to make a phone call now.

This is always how great ideas are born.

So who HAARPed them?

So when you say "the government" you mean "The Central Bankers?"

According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_warfare Weather warfare is pretty common place now with the technologies in place.

In fact, there appears to be a government PDF at the bottom there, which I've read. It's quite damning.

http://www.cftc.gov/ucm/groups/publi...08-004c002.pdf

So, I question the official story, most of the time. And a majority of the time, my intuition is correct.

Did the Central Bankers cause the Minneapolis bridge collapse too?

It only gets better.

You're correct with CoMo efficiency.

Can you give a single example of your questioning the "official story" and you being correct?

It's amazing that people can blame an earthquake causing a tsunami on the US Gov't.

You seem to have a different version of that link than I do:

One in the same. It has been since at least 1913.

Read "The Creature of Jekyll Island" which outlays the creation of the Federal Reserve... and how they've influenced every major political leader since before that time.

http://www.amazon.com/Creature-Jekyl.../dp/0912986212

Our reality is somewhat of a mirage.

"The government" exists, but it is just a pawn of the Central Banks. Doing their bidding. Fetching coffee at Bilderburg, etc.

I weep for your childrens reality.

You really fell for that obvious dis-information? Shill! Puppet!!@!!@3E

Did these people exist before 9-11?

lol

It worked for a hurricane. Why wouldn't it work for an earthquake and a tsunami?

Yeah.

Mayans.

People who claim that FDR knew that Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked.

The Iranians just made an annoucment, they say this never happened.

That wasn't meant to be funny.

You must be part of a government conspiracy designed to keep this information from getting to the public.

True, but that was because George Bush didn't care about black people. He created and steered a racist hurricane. That was totally rational.

Too bad, cuz it was.

ROFL. My kids are more aware than you will ever be, I'm certain of that.

More aware of what? What you think? You've educated them to believe in this stuff?

Radiation levels at damaged Fukushima-Daiichi nuke plant are continuing to rise... Radiation 1,000 times higher than normal detected. Ministry official: 'Possibility of radioactive leak'...

http://tinyurl.com/4mj8j22

Here's a map of the tsunami waves caused by the 8.9 quake. Wow...

I'm not "blaming" per se, just saying that that possibility can no longer be overlooked. What was once only possible via mother nature, is no longer the case.

http://www.cftc.gov/ucm/groups/publi...08-004c002.pdf

No. I educate them to seek the truth, be honest and respectful... and to also be caring of all creatures not just other humans. And to realize that we are all connected... everything is made of protons, neutrons, electrons, gluons and quarks.

And that NO ONE is better than you because they have more money, stature, education, etc... and you are better than no one.

I teach them to be the BEST THEM, that they can be... and rise above petty things that don't matter.

Treat others how they would like to be treated. And so far, my kids are amazing. So, they are doing fine, and quite well rounded.

Think for yourself. Be unique. Be a leader and not a follower. Even if people think you are reeruned, stand by your beliefs, but remain flexible. And to eliminate hate. And give love and be love.

;)

I wonder how they were already able to ascertain that a gash in the crust 150 miles long and 50 miles wide? This quake happened deep beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, right? They've already got subs down there? Secret gubmint radar scanner?

Are you a fan of Ron Paul?

Nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't teach them the crazy stuff.

Mother****. The industrious Japanese people will be able to rebuild the damage their nation suffers when all is said and done, this however, is the worst case scenario.

No, an exposed core/containment dome failure is worst case. As long as the dome holds.

OK, fine, but I was talking about any kind of radiation leakage, you're talking about the degrees of the leakage.

Well, yeah. But there's a big difference between another Three Mile Island and another Chernobyl.

The emergency diesel generators on that nuclear plant have been badly damaged. The multi-reactor Fukushima atomic power plant is now relying on battery power, which will only last around a few hours. The danger is, the very thermally hot reactor cores at the plant must be continuously cooled for 24 to 48 hours.

Without any electricity, the pumps won’t be able to pump water through the hot reactor cores to cool them. Once electricity is lost, the irradiated nuclear fuel could begin to melt down within a few hours.

If the containment systems fail, a catastrophic radioactivity release to the environment could occur. The result would be unimaginable, the plant is the biggest nuclear facility in the world.... and it was built in 1971. The biggest and the oldest. :doh!:

In other words, we're ******.

Meh. I would imagine that the Japanese have placed a pretty high priority on getting both additional batteries and replacement diesel generators in place to ensure continued pump operation. We are probably helping, too.

No. It's really pretty simple. Even the the core has been SCRAMed, there is still residual heat being generated, quite a lot of it. If the pumps failed because of lack of power, then they couldn't get any new coolant near the core to remove the heat. So, as long as they can get the pumps back working and water flowing to the core, there won't be a serious problem.

Here's an aerial view of the plant. Right next to the ocean, apparently. Must have taken quite a wallop from the tsunami:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...I_NPP_1975.jpg

Can a powerplant be effectively restarted after the core has been SCRAMed? Is that a huge undertaking?

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JhJzdtzl6KY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yes, absolutely it can be restarted.

No, it's not a huge undertaking.

OK, good.

I would be shitting my pants if I was in the top floors of those. Those have to be swaying 20 feet if not more don't they?

They've got some great engineers over there for sure.

Best post evar

Looks like the wind is out of the NW at 14 mph near the planet. That's good.

Crazy images here.
