Earthquake dynamics

Since the 2011 quake was the biggest earthquake to hit Japan since record keeping began, many questions were raised as to what triggered it. These questions are not unfounded. In fact, they are of critical significance, because there are vast differences in the dynamics involved between natural tectonic triggering by the grinding forces of the Earth's tectonic plates against each other, and external triggering. The natural triggering tends to be localized to points of the greatest stress, whereby the stress relief tends to occur in small steps spread over longer periods. When external factors cause the triggering, the triggering effect occurs simultaneously across a wide area whereby the dynamic factors become immensely multiplied and huge tectonic movements result. But is there another factor involved?

Earthquakes increased 68-fold in Japan since the year 2000 in comparison with the historic average. While the historic average may be low for the lack of accurate recoding in historic time, a sharp increase in earthquake activity has nevertheless been recorded for the Japanese area. How is it possible that the number of occurrence has suddenly taken the sharp upturn that has been recorded? Was a military intervention involved as the rumor mill has been suggesting since the upturn first began? The sharp upturn was noted in many parts of the world.
See: HAARP abuse of the ionosphere?

The first cause that typically comes to mind in the search for external factors is the effect that the Sun has on the Earth by the effects of its electric interaction with the Earth in the form of solar flairs or other forms of Coronal Mass Ejections. One such solar event occurred prior to the big 2011 earthquake in Japan. 

On March 7 a large solar fair of M3 magnitude erupted on the Sun that was accelerated towards the Earth up to a speed of 2,200 km/sec. On March 9th, Earth-orbiting satellites detected another X1.5-class explosion from the behemoth sunspot 1166 around 23:23 UT that had produced the M3 flair. However, the M3 solar flair wasn't directly flowing towards the Earth, but merely grazed it. It reached the Earth on March 10 at 06:30 UT (Universal Time) or 00:30 Central Standard Time in the US. As it grazed the Earth it caused Aurora effects that could be seen as far south as Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan in the USA. (See: NASA - Auroras Invade the US ) However, this solar disturbance arrived too late to have triggered the Japan earthquake since the first foreshock, a 7.2 magnitude shock, had already occurred by then.

The first foreshock happened on March 9, at a great depth, some 32 km deep inside the Earth, with another three on the same day in excess of 6.0 in magnitude.  Altogether over 600 aftershocks at a magnitude of 4.5 or greater have occurred since the initial quake. United States Geological Survey (USGS) director Marcia McNutt explained that aftershocks, according to Omori's Law, might continue for years, and will taper off in time.
see: 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami  

The big Japan earthquake occurred two days after the first foreshock, and an entire day after the solar flair (the CMS) had grazed the Earth, and even then, when the solar flair hit the Earth, Japan was on the opposite side of the planet turning away from the Sun. 

The chance for the great earthquake to have been triggered by a solar flair, and so long delayed, appears to be rather minuscule, especially considering that the actual triggering of the chain of the shocks had happened deep under the sea, which electrostatic disturbances cannot penetrate, and also considering that the main shock was preceded by a 7.2 magnitude foreshock that happened even deeper, at a depth of 32 km, far beyond the reach of electrostatic effects, and that the chain events began on March 9, long before the solar flair grazed the Earth. All of this considered seems to take the solar connection for the earthquake far outside the realm of potential causes. But does it really? - SEE: HAARP abuse of the ionosphere?? 

The statistical numbers, without a deeper understanding of the dynamics involved, likewise seem to confirm that the Sun had nothing to do with the Japan earthquake, since the Sun had not been extraordinarily active during the timeframe from the year 2000 onward when the sharp increase in the number of earthquakes began. If anything, the solar-activity cycles have been gradually weakening.

The Moon, too, doesn't really enter this picture. While the Moon causes gravitational tidal action on earth that produces far greater mechanical stress effects on the dynamics of our planet than a solar flair ever would, the moon hasn't changed either dramatically during the last decade when the sharp upturn in earthquake activity began. If these factors are blamed for the Japan earthquake, the blame is laid without cause. Nor exists there a history of such a cause. In the case of the Haiti quake in 2010, no solar action whatsoever preceded it. A solar flair did occur sometime after the quake, but resulting effects never precede their pause. It just doesn't happen.

This means that one has apparently no reason at all to blame the Sun or the Moon for the big 2011 earthquake in Japan. So what then could have caused the sharp upturn in the number of earthquakes that Japan and other areas in the world have been experiencing?

The likely cause for external triggering would have to be one that began in the year 2000 when the sharp upturn started. One of the prime candidate for this coincidence is the HAARP project of the US Navy and US Air Force that began operation on 1998 as a research project aimed at finding efficient means by which the immense power of the Earth's ionosphere can be utilized for military objectives. The acronym, HAARP, stands for High-frequency, Active Auroral Research Project. The project is build on a platform of focused heating of the ionosphere for communications enhancement, missile defense, weather modification, and by means of pulsed heating to create Ultra Low Frequency shockwaves that enter the Earth and can be utilized for subterranean mammography to locate underground military installations. This particular feature has been often blamed for the cause for earthquakes, with numerous conspiracy theories built around it based on numerous types of observations. The following are two examples.

The controversial HAARP effect

The Japan 2011 earthquake connection

Perhaps remembering the above-mentioned video, a researcher in Japan writes about the 2011 earthquake in Japan:

The case of the HAARP

HAARP is designed to manipulated the ionosphere, forcing unnatural conditions (active vs. passive research) in order to explore how the 'squirming' of the ionosphere under unnatural conditions can be used for military applications, both defensively and offensively. In doing so, HAARP is playing with a hugely powerful force that is fed directly with the electric energy streams from the galaxy and the Sun. The ionosphere is the Earth's interface with space. It is a shell of electrons that begins as low as 50 km altitude and extends to the edge of space, typically in the 450 km range but can reach as high as 1,000 km, depending on the time of day. It electron density varies from ten thousand to a million electrons per cubic centimeters. The high electron density causes radio waves to be reflected that enables global radio communications in certain frequency ranges. It is also extremely 'hot' in the upper reaches with temperatures in the 1,000 degree range. Anyone playing with this highly charged and temperature sensitive region of our planet is controlling very large forces with 'little' energy required to control them. This feature makes the 'weaponizing' of the ionosphere ideal for military application, which began in concept during the SDI days.

The selective heating of the ionosphere is an ideal method to create ultra-long wavelength signals, which is critical for submarine communications. "The US Navy systems broadcast in the ELF range from 40 to 50 Hz and 70 to 80 Hz, but mostly around 76 Hz. The Soviet system actually operated down in the ULF range at the first Schumann Resonance of 8 Hz. It turns out, the lower in frequency the transmission, the deeper in the ocean the signals can be received... by using shortwave signals to reach up and jiggle the auroral electrojet at a ULF/ELF frequency, then the whole electrojet becomes a 10,000 mile ULF antenna -- and its not in anybody's backyard. With such a large antenna the frequency could go all the way down to the Alfven Frequency of 0.9 Hz and the Navy could talk to even deeper boats." (see: THE UNAUTHORIZED HISTORY OF HAARP)

There are two different electrojets in the ionosphere: those above the magnetic equator (the equatorial electrojet), and those near the Northern and Southern Polar Circles (the Auroral Electrojets). (see: Electrojet) The Northern Polar Electroject is roughly the size of the Arctic Circle offset by 11 degree from the geographic pole towards Canada. When the ionospheric conductivity in the electrojet is periodically perturbed using amplitude-modulated radiation from the HAARP HF transmitter the conductivity perturbations lead to perturbations to the natural flow of electrojet current in the lower ionosphere, resulting in ELF/VLF radiation at the modulation frequency. Measurements of the radiation, along with analytic and numerical models, suggest that a vertical loop with a scale size of 10 km is the dominant current structure excited during the experiments. (See: DSpace@MIT) With water being a conductor of the ELF/VLF Alfven waves, which submarine communication seems to confirm, the Pacific Basin would be the prime recipient. This is what we see it reflected in the earthquake pattern.

The Alfvén wave, named after Hannes Alfvén, is a type of magnetohydrodynamic wave that is a low-frequency travelling oscillation of the ions and the magnetic field. The ion mass density provides the inertia and the magnetic field line tension provides the restoring force. (see: Alfven wave) The heating of ions by Alfven waves is of great importance in astrophysical and magnetically controlled laboratory plasmas. But they also propagate deep inside the Earth.

However, there exists another potential path for low frequency wave propagation, which is by concentric induction. The Northern Electrojet and the Equatorial Electrojets are an interconnected concentric system with roughly, if not exactly, the same resonant frequency. This means the low frequency modulation of the Northern Electrojet by 'pulsed' heating that is causing flow-disruptions to create extra-long waves at extra low frequencies (ELF), reflects itself in secondary modulations in the Equatorial Electrojet since both systems are a part of a single the ionosphere. 

With both electrojets being centered on the magnetic pole that is tilted 11 degrees southward towards Canada, the entire structure is by the same token tilted northward in the Asia region. In addition, the Equatorial Electrojet is separated into two parallel bands as 'photographed' by NASA.

Plasma bands - Credit: NASA/University of California, Berkeley. - also The Interconnected Sun Part One

The band is divided into four sections marked by high intensity node points. It is interesting to note that a node point of the southern band is located right over Indonesia where 43 earthquakes occurred since the HAARP project was started in 1998, and that the corresponding node point of the northern ban is located over the East China Sea, just south of Japan where likewise a sharp increase in earthquakes occurred during the HAARP period. As NASA shows in the illustration above, a high-intensity field surrounds these high-intensity node points. It should also be noted that the immensely destructive and deadly 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China occurred within the high intensity field created by the two Electrojet node points.  

see: Earthquake

Against this background, known or unknown at the time, the HAARP tests began in 1998 and continue to the very day in spite of the sharp increase in the earthquake activity in this region, which some conspiracy theorists suggest is intentional as the resulting pattern fits the historic intentions of the rulers of empires. 

The sharp upturn in the earthquake occurrences in the Asian region began after 1998 when the HAARP system was activated and low frequency research was started to explore possible military applications of the ionosphere by means of manipulation the immense energy flows that occur in the Earth's ionosphere. The existence of large electric power-streams was known, with the Earth, the Sun, and the solar system being recognized as a part of a larger galactic electric system. 

 See: List of earthquakes

The comparison of the earthquake numbers before and after HAARP is even more striking.

The Japan earthquakes from 684-2011

Japan earthquakes summarized:

20 quakes in 1261 years from 684 to 1945 - white
6 quakes in 45 years since the nuclear age began, bomb testing and bombing - pink
4 quakes in 7 years since HAARP became active (1998) - brown
9 quakes in 5 years since HAARP was upgraded in March 2006 - yellow
3 quakes in 2011 (in the 2-day period between the foreshock and aftershock of the 2011 quake. In this period HAARP is shown active, see above) - green
See: Japan earthquakes

For Indonesia the contrast is more dramatic:

11 earthquake occurred in 199 years from 1797 to 1996
43 occurred in 10 years (2000-2010) of the period when HAARP was active.
See: Indonesia earthquakes

China has a similar history

20 occurred in 700 years (1290-19960
9 occurred in 10 years in the HAARP period.
See: China earthquakes

A similar pattern is noticeable for Iran

23 quakes occurred in 1142 years (856-1998)
9 occurred in 8 years (2002-2010) when HAARP was active.
See: Iran earthquakes

Haiti is interesting

4 quakes occurred in 195 years (1751-1946)
1 big one (a 7.0) in 2010 with 33 aftershocks in the 5.0-5.9 range
See: Haiti earthquakes
See: Global list of earthquakes -  note: some of the deep historic data may be low do to the lack of accurate data in distant historic times.

No sharp increase for volcanos

While many volcanoes erupted in the post 2000 timeframe the same sharp increase that is seen in earthquakes after the startup pf HAARP is not apparent in the number of volcanic eruptions.

See list of volcanic eruptions

If one rules out solar activity as a cause for the dramatic increase in the number of earthquakes, for which no corresponding increase in volcanic ativity is evident, and no other direct coincidence appears to exist, and considering further that the solar activity cycles were less intensive during the HAARP period and are continuing this trend, the HAARP type activity remains as the sole potential cause for the dramatic increase. For this potential cause three major high-powered ionosphere manipulation projects are operating on two continents half a world apart, HAARP in Alaska (since 1998), and EISCAT in Norway (since 1992), and Russia's SURA facility (since 1981) - the three giants of the ionospheric heater facilities.

Still, we may be seeing only half of the process if we keep our focus fixed onto ionosphere heater projects for modulating low-frequency shock waves into the auroral electrojet for the purpose of creating Alfven Waves for purposes of underwater radio communication and underground mammography. While the phenomenon of Alfven Waves is poorly understood, a school of thought on the subject attributes the phenomenon at least in part to underground flows of electric currents. Evidence of the existence of such currents is found in the often observed lightning strikes originating from intensely erupting volcanoes. "Lightning discharges in the atmosphere are familiar, but what about the ones underground?" asks a writer in a paper on underground electric currents. He continues:

If the electric stress pattern described above are further agitated with a wave pattern that is symbiotic with the resonant frequency of the electric strata, the stresses may indeed break the continuity and cause underground electric shock explosions. It may well be that the strangely colored clouds that are sometimes seen before major earthquakes are not HAARP induced phenomena as has been often suggested, but are the result of underground electric fields building up towards a major underground electric explosion. This does not mean that the entire process is not stimulated and set in motion by shockwaves that are artificially induced into the ionosphere system, especially when the shockwaves are charge coupled to the Equatorial Electrojets that have z-pinch nodes located right above sensitive strata, or are located near such z-pinch nodes. Z-pinch nodes are areas where plasma currents are magnetically self-confined, resulting in high-density concentrations.

If the entire Equatorial Electrojet, slightly over 40,000 km in length, was used as a half-wave antenna it would be able to transmit an ELF field at slightly under 3 Herz. Sub-harmonics from that might indeed be able to stimulate a 0.9 Herz Alfven Wave under ground. In order for this to happen an efficient electromagnetic coupling between the pulsed Auroral Electrojet and Equatorial Electrojets would have to happen. The evidence that such a process is taking place is found in the sharp and massive increase in earthquake activity in Canada and the USA, - a 14-fold increase from the time on that the HAARP project came into operation.

Canada and the USA exposed

However, South Asia is not the only arena that is endangered by the HAARP facilities. We see similar sharp increases in the USA, Canada, and also the USA.

by Stanford

With the Northern Polar Electrojet being modulated from Alaska on one side and Norway and Russia on the other side, it would be surprising if we didn't see a sharp increase in earthquake occurrences in both Canada and the USA. 

Well, this is exactly what we are seeing. For the USA, 47 earthquakes were listed for the 337-year period from 1663 to 2000, while 22 were listed for the ten years of the HAARP decade (a 16-fold increase). For Canada the figures are lower in total, but in same ratio: 20 earthquakes occurred in the same 337-year period, and ten during the 10 years of the HAARP decade (a 16-fold increase).

Global plate motions

The 2007 completion increased the facility to its original design.

HAARP comparison

With the tuning and operation of the HAARP progressing from summer 2007 onward a new epoch of tears began around the world.  

 See: List of earthquakes

With the USA being one of the hotspots for horizontal plate motions, one shouldn't be surprised if the HAARP agitated North American Plate will have its day soon in its contest against the Pacific Plate, especially now that the Pacific Plate has been rattled with major shocks, and with the HAARP singing its deeply intrusive song that is designed to finds a responsive chord in the ground, by which the 'glass' breaks. 

The San Andreas Fault

The San Andreas Fault, a 1,300 km long fault line, and is a volatile one with parts of it that haven't moved for three hundred years, and there is a pushing going on, vertically and horizontally.

San Andreas Fault

The University of California study on "the next big one"

A study completed by Yuri Fialko in 2006 has demonstrated that the San Andreas fault has been stressed to a level sufficient for the next "big one," as it is commonly called; that is, an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 or greater. The study also concluded that the risk of a large earthquake may be increasing more rapidly than researchers had previously believed. Fialko also emphasized in his study that, while the San Andreas Fault had experienced massive earthquakes in 1857 at its central section and in 1906 at its northern segment (the 1906 San Francisco earthquake), the southern section of the fault has not seen a similar rupture in at least 300 years.

If such an earthquake were to occur, Fialko's study stated, it would result in substantial damage to Palm Springs and a number of other cities in San Bernardino, Riverside and Imperial counties in California, and Mexicali municipality in Baja California. Such an event would be felt throughout much of Southern California, including densely populated areas of metropolitan Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Ensenada and Tijuana, Baja California, San Luis Rio Colorado in Sonora and Yuma, Arizona.

"The information available suggests that the fault is ready for the next big earthquake but exactly when the triggering will happen and when the earthquake will occur we cannot tell," Fialko said. "It could be tomorrow or it could be 10 years or more from now," he concluded in September 2005.

 

The Cascadia subduction zone

Also referred to as the Cascadia fault, stretches from northern Vancouver Island to northern California. It is a very long sloping fault that separates the Juan de Fuca and North America plates.

The Cascadia subduction zone can produce very large earthquakes ("megathrust earthquakes"), magnitude 9.0 or greater, if rupture occurs over its whole area. When the "locked" zone stores up energy for an earthquake, the "transition" zone, although somewhat plastic, can rupture. Great Subduction Zone earthquakes are the largest earthquakes in the world, and can exceed magnitude 9.0. Earthquake size is proportional to fault area, and the Cascadia Subduction Zone is a very long sloping fault that stretches from mid-Vancouver Island to Northern California. Studies of past earthquake traces on both the northern San Andreas Fault and the southern Cascadia subduction zone indicate a correlation in time which may be evidence that quakes on the Cascadia subduction zone may have triggered most of the major quakes on the northern San Andreas during at least the past 3,000 years or so.

The last known great earthquake in the northwest was in January 1700, the Cascadia Earthquake. Geological evidence indicates that great earthquakes may have occurred at least seven times in the last 3,500 years, suggesting a return time of 300 to 600 years.
See: Cascadia subduction zone

The Big Indian Ocean Quakes (Sumatra earthquakes)

Early in the HAARP timeframe the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust 9,1 magnitude subduction earthquake.. The northern section of the Sunda megathrust, which had been assumed dormant, ruptured at a length of 1,300 km (810 mi). The 2007 Sumatra quake Magnitude 8.5 occurred the lower section of the Sunda (Java) Trench, as did the 2005 quake of 8.7 in magnitude,

United States Geological Survey

The 2011 Earthquake in Japan was likewise a subduction zone earthquake. The 2011 Japanese quake seems to suggest that in the Age of the HAARP the historic repetition rates do no longer apply. A new factor has altered the scene. By timing, the HAARP appears to be that factor.

What will the future bring?

The only thing that is most certain about the entire vast increase in earthquake activity in many areas around the world, is that Sun does not carry the blame for it. It didn't in Japan. The solar flair arrived a day too late for that. But the HAARP system had already been transmitting the day before the first 7.1 foreshock occurred two days before the big one, and one day before the solar flair graced the Earth. With the big subduction events in the Indian Ocean and off Japan indicating the start of a new trend, the song of the HAARP will likely be felt in a big way all around the world, especially when the Cascadia zone is triggered together with the San Andreas fault erupting into a single cascading mega event far greater than magnitude 9.

Will we have warnings? Before the big one happened in China in 2008, great masses of frogs left their ponds collectively and went hopping away. Were they irritated by 0.9 hrz Alfven Wave that was built up? We have seen similar strange happening in in the oceans along the US West Coast, events of mass-dying of fish, and also strange events on land. Are some of the animal species and fish more sensitive to the ELF waves then we are? Evidently so.

Whether the HAARP will be silenced before it silences many more people in the Epoch Of Tears that is no upon us, remains yet to be seen. If the HAARP system is silenced worldwide on the basis of the already massive evidence in increased earthquake activity, then an admission would be evident that the experiment was a tragic error rather than being the outcome of intention. But this may not happen.

What the above data does not prove, is that malicious intention caused the observed increase in earthquakes. Most likely history will reveal some day that the global HAARP type projects have been nothing more than an unwise and dangerous undertaking. The boast of an "earthquake machine" that Benjamin Fulford said Japan had been confronted with, doesn't prove anything. It might have been a mere bluff of the type that is typical in the high-stakes games of modern irregular warfare. Seeing evidence of a coming earthquake two days before it happens may well be within the range of possibility. Such knowledge would then likely have been abused for extortions in the games of irregular warfare. 

However, in the age of modern irregular warfare the most unlikely scenarios, such as producing earthquakes by intention, are nevertheless possible, and some of the conspiracy theories about them may well be true. Empires run on a platform of conspiracies for control over over individuals and nations, which leaves the scene wide open for conspiracy theories until the conspiracies become exposed. Irregular warfare is itself a conspiracy.

The age of irregular warfare takes us back to the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln and McKinley and other assassinations, like the one that was carried out with the sinking of the Titanic to remove three men from the scene who would have stood against the Federal Reserve Act and might have prevented it. Conspiracies on any scale do happen, and in order to sent the message across that resistance against the wishes of empire is futile, the sinking of the Titanic had been arranged to coincide with the anniversary day of the assassination of President Lincoln. (see: Individual responsibility) 

Modern conspiracies theorists have numerous tales to tell of terrible things being done by the hands of power, and some may well be true, since we live after all in the age of Modern Irregular Warfare where anything is possible for as long as the principle of plausible deniability is adhered to, or the secrecy of National Security classifications hides the show altogether. The resulting train of tears won't end for as long as the system of empire rules the world. Whether or not this breakout to freedom will happen is a question of individual responsibility. Here grave doubts arise.

The epoch of tears related to earthquakes, is actually a rather mild one. The totally of all the earthquake deaths of the last thousand years won't tally up to more than a few tens of millions of victims. This is a small figure in comparison with the death-toll that is resulting every year from the 'burning of food' in a starving world for the production of biofuels. The amount of agricultural land that is devoted to producing the feed-stocks for biofuels would easily feed 100 million people. This is probably the current annual death-toll from starvation related causes among the billion people in the world who are condemned to a life of chronic starvation. And this vast holocaust against mankind, producing potentially a hundred million deaths per year, is not perpetrated by invaders from other worlds, or solar forces and even galactic forces, or even by the natural forces of the dynamics of our Earth, but is perpetrated right in the open in nearly all regions of the world with the full cooperation of the people and their governments.

Once we begin to look at these far greater tragedies honestly, and respond accordingly and honesty, and this becomes reflected in politics, and in science, and in the corresponding human and economic development, maybe then, will we have a case for looking forward to a near end of the epoch of tears that is still before us. 

In this case we will begin to recognize the evidence that we live in an electrically powered Universe were powerful electric phenomena are a major element of the dynamic system that our Earth is a part of, with energies that we have the power within us to link ourselves up to for an energy-rich future for all times to come.
