Lot's of earthquakes are going on lately. Anyone noticing ? Who rules the universe ?

[Pro-Bush]

Just a reminder for them to quit dumping the dollar.

[bd476]

Ping.

[Bandaneira]

That's a very interesting interpretation of a seismic event.

[Travis McGee]

I better tune into "Coast to Coast" to get the real story.
Aliens, probably.

[Larry381]

Who rules the universe ?

Halliburton & Diebold?

[bd476]

Lots and lots, Bandaneira. Of course there always have been earthquakes, just seems to be a lot more recently. God is in charge, why do you ask? :)

[MediaMole]

Whoa! Tsunami!!!

Wait, it was only 10 cm. The water must have been pretty cold.

[bd476]

LOL! Smart aleck. ;)

Of course it would be a good night to listen to Coast to Coast, and in fact, that was going to be my next post. Tonight George Noory is/was scheduled to have John Taylor Gatto on.

Go ahead, ask the question, heh heh.

[Bandaneira]

I agree that he is in charge. I have always felt that there was a higher force in the universe. I'm just seeing if anyone else out there in Freeper viewing land is reading the signs.

[bd476]

Ya know, 10 cm is not a lot, however, since they mention it, it raises the question as to how wide a spread was this 10 cm tsunami, was it 50 feet, was it 1000 feet or was it 10 miles wide by 10 miles long? Then we're talking about a lot of extra water.

Tsunamis generally do the most damage when they inundate the shoreline with extra water. The dramatic large breaking wave tsunami is rare. A tsunami is also different than a "rogue wave."

[JLS]

Well just to be sure, I went to a conversion site and got:

"10 Centimeters equals 3.93701 Inches" if the 10 cm Tsunami means centimeters it probably did not do much damage?

Hai ! Godzilla rowed over, call professor wif pretty daughter!

I've been noticing. How many people believe in a wake up call?

[Bandaneira]

There is a lot going on for those who can read the signs. These are not "normal" times. Many slumber in comfortable apathy but even the Head-in-the-Sanders are going to be forced to wake up soon. Some people love denial. The Master of the Universe wont be denied.

[SAJ]

OK, I missed something. The Master of the Universe has suddenly decided that now is a good time for a lot of tectonic plate shifts? And chose Hokkaido, of all places, rather than, say, San Francisco?

I'm not saying not, but how do you derive that bit of information, please?

[Bandaneira]

The earthquake events happening now are just one of the signs. I am not wishing death and destruction on anyone. Far be it. I just believe that perhaps this event is another one of the signs Hashem is giving us to tell humankind that they better get their act together and start treating each other with respect and dignity. The Ainu child in Hokkaido is the same divine being as the Zulu child in Africa don't you think ?

[Rebelbase]

"10 Centimeters"

A lunar tide would put more water in a harbour or beach.

[Travis McGee]

Gotcha.
