The Anatomy of the Great Chile Earthquake and Tsunami
Posted on March 9th, 2010
Steven Ward, a geophysicist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, provides a video explanation of the seismic shift that caused the 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Chile and a simulation of the resulting tsunami. His Web site has heaps of valuable background on such events: es.ucsc.edu More on this and other disasters can be found on Dot Earth at The New York Times: dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com

Concepcion, Chile 8.8 earthquake caused by H.A.A.R.P. and CHEMTRAILS- BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT!
Posted on March 8th, 2010
www.haarp.net HAARP Boils the Upper Atmosphere HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced model of an "ionospheric heater." (The ionosphere is the electrically-charged sphere surrounding Earth's upper atmosphere. It ranges between 40 to 60 miles above the surface of the Earth.) Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope; antenna send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything -- living and dead. HAARP publicity gives the impression that the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing the ionosphere to improve communications for our own good. However, other US military documents put it more clearly -- HAARP aims to learn how to "exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes." Communicating with submarines is only one of those purposes.

Earthquake in Chile Terremoto en Chile
Posted on March 8th, 2010
At 3:34 am local time, today, February 27th, a devastating magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck Chile, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded. According to Chile's interior minister, at least 214 people are now known to have been killed. The earthquake also triggered a Tsunami which is right now propagating across the Pacific Ocean, due to arrive in Hawaii in hours (around 11:00 am local time). The severity of the Tsunami is still not known, but alerts are being issued across the Pacific. As this is a breaking story, I will be adding more photos to this entry, as warranted, throughout the day. Chile necesita de su ayuda, sectores del sur del pais estan aun aislados, y con problemas de agua, luz y alimentos, esperamos de su aporte...
