Chile: The Magnitude 6 Quakes Keep Coming..

Over the last four days, there has been at least one Mag 6+ quake off the coast of Chile each day. This might not mean anything, but here's a mental bookmark, just in case..

Animal Death Events Continue To Grow..

Whatever "this" turns out to be, it has certainly caught the attention and imagination of my normally inattentive friends, the ones who smirk when I talk of conspiracies or anomalous events..

A poster at my favorite conspiracy site provides this list of the latest die-offs, along with a map of event locations. (This also might be the "WTF Moment" predicted by the webbots, but that's another post at a later date..) And though I wouldn't definitively rule out any cause at the moment, it's starting to look less like a WMD release(The deaths are too widespread for Sorcha's theory, and why just birds and fish?), fireworks(no..), or cloaked UFOs(no, and why now?).

Possible explanations that seem plausible include: BP's Corexit saturation finally starting to manifest world wide(Long shot, but if you fuck with nature, side effects will occur..), Methane "burps,"(possible, but that's a lot of methane burping world wide..), HAARP(What's HAARP? Too short of an answer-man made magnetic disturbance-this one's still a Big maybe..), or Non-man made magnetic disturbance(with all the information available, this seems to be the most sensible). If this is some kind of magnetic disturbance, is it coming from space, or from the earth itself?

George Ure at Urban Survival has put together a fairly compelling argument involving the animal die offs as a precursor to some really major earthquake activity. The article's called Coping: Terra's Biggest Bite To Come? (Mr. Ure doesn't post single items, so scroll down to find it. It's in the January 5th column..) Not so encouraging excerpts:

What ties together all those parts of Arkansas, has been associated with bird kills, and might also be somehow related to Baton Rouge down river? You aren't going to like the answer, but here goes:
New Madrid.
Not only have we had some earthquakes in the central Arkansas area in the past couple of months - and there was a 4.2 in that area back in February of 2005 if memory serves me right. We has a little tiny 1.9 quake, just west of the Arkansas bird kill, too:
..
Let me pop up a map I developed last week for Peoplenomics subscribers and then put forth a wild hypothesis: I drew a great circle line around the globe which very roughly links all the big quakes from the China quake, down through the south Pacific, across the Pacific and Nazca plates to Chile, and let's not forget Argentina last week. (You really should check out the map; the visual helps.)

Now imagine for a moment that nature tends toward symmetry. We notice this line happens to come down through the Middle East very near those anomalous quakes in the Gulf of Aden, and then it comes down where that big Rift is developing in Africa which scientists figure may turn into a new inland sea in the future. And possibly something much bigger - think ocean.

Suppose that with all this activity in the southern hemisphere that some outburst of quakes might come to the northern hemisphere as a result.

If such wild guessing - and it is only that for now - held, then activity might be expected 90-degrees offset from the line - and since nature would likely quake along existing faults instead of creating new ones, maybe the the range would be somewhere in the area of +75 to +105 degrees. Uncertainty due to the bulge of the earth and so forth.
And:
So will my "shadow quake line" generally north of the equator appear?

Mr. Ure theorizes that maybe, just maybe, the entire planet might be in for (or effected by) some sort of global quake event(s), larger than anything we've ever experienced. While this is a horrifying proposition, it does seem to tie most of variables into a working theory. A scary, potentially life, history, and future altering theory.

And then, if this theory is correct, the larger question remains: What would cause a global quake event: Jesus, 2012, or Planet X?

Bird Die Off: Alternate Theory

ALERT!!! This is How the Mass Bird Death Happened - The New Madrid Fault may produce MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE soon!  This one combines two unexplained variables I couldn't define:  A gaseous or chemical (or influenza strain) release would effect a wider range of species, and the sudden-ness of the kill, and resulting physical trauma to the birds.  The poster explains..

Birds are very sensitive to electrostatic charges. A simple thunder cloud will irritate a bird severely. This is why birds fly low to the ground just before a storm, to avoid the very uncomfortable charges in the air.

In Arkansas there is one of the Worlds Largest Quartz deposits underground. Quartz is piezoelectric which means a charge develops over the surface of the quartz when pressure is applied to the crystal. The charge is millions of volts but it happens so fast its nearly harmless to people on a small scale. This is how some lighters work. A hammer hits a quartz device releasing a spark.

Anyways, the recent earthquake has placed new pressures on the quartz deposits in Arkansas. This results in a massive discharge of billions of volts of electricity. Think how a small piece of quartz the size of a pea can light a lighter. Now think about millions of Tons of quartz discharging under the extreme pressures the Earth can push.

At some point, the charges below created a brief surface charge, positive charge, during a discharge event. The electrostatic charge is immense and knocks the birds out cold in flight. The birds are still alive though, just knocked unconscious. The birds that were flying high were the ones killed upon impact. Blunt force trauma. The birds that were in the trees survived. Some birds like to fly high, others fly low. This explains why it was species specific as the birds that flew high were the ones to die.

The poster theorizes that this quartz sparking action means there will be a large earthquake event along the New Madrid Seismic Zone sooner rather than later.  As I write this, I am located within what would be the effected area, so I hope not.  But I will be buying some extra water in the next few days, just in case..

Edit:  I must clarify..  When I said wider range of species, I am making the assumption the original poster assumed the fish and bird kill were unrelated(although it doesn't fully rule out an event relationship), as other types of birds were seemingly unaffected.  This continues to develop..

This Week In Shakey Shakey..

Major 7.1 magnitude earthquake hits Chile

Indiana's magnitude 3.8 earthquake felt in Michigan
     Wait; what?  Indiana?

When it comes to earthquakes, yes size matters, but so does depth.  Take, for instance, this 7.0 non quaker in Argentina..

The most curious current earthquake event is still the earthquake swarm in Guy, Arkansas, with another 2.5 magnitude mini quake earlier this week.  The rash of minor quakes might be due to fracking, or not.  What might *Might* be a harbinger of some major tectonic activity is the thousands of birds dropping dead in Arkansas skies, and thousands of fish dying and washing ashore in Arkansas lakes..  A possible instance methane out gassing?  Which leads to speculation about whether or not there are unknown fault lines in Arkansas, and a possible volcano around Hot Springs. 

And the earth change conspiracy theorists have already begun speculating.. 

2010 Earthquake Summary

Great summary from Before It's News..  Short answer?  Higher magnitude earthquakes are increasing, especially those in the magnitude seven range.  If this activity is a trend rather than anomalous, next year will hold more of the same, only more shake-tacular..

Guy Keeps On Shakin'..

Earthquake 'swarm' rattles Arkansas town and its residents Excerpts:

The Arkansas Geological Survey is trying to unravel a mystery: What is causing earthquakes in the town of Guy, Arkansas?

Since September 20, the community of 549 residents north of Little Rock has experienced an almost constant shaking from 487 measurable earthquakes.

"We've had 15 today including a 3.1 (magnitude) from this morning," Scott Ausbrooks, geohazards supervisor for the Geological Survey, said Monday. "These are shallow quakes between two and eight kilometers (between one-and-a-quarter and five miles) below the surface."
..
"This time last year we had 39 quakes total for the entire state," said Ausbrooks.

And, while some still want to blame fracking, geologists still don't know for sure..

New York Earthquake Jolts Long Island

Interesting location for a quake.

New York City was jolted by a 3.9-magnitude earthquake Tuesday morning, rocking the area around Long Island.
..
It is thought to be the biggest quake in the region in more than 18 years.

6.6 Magnitude, Japan..

A Little Ominous.

Authorities don't know why thousands of jellyfish packed a three-mile long section of San Francisco's Ocean Beach.

I did not find it odd, either, that CNN didn't mention the "animals as earthquake barometers" angle, not even one bit.
