Turkey and Syria remind us of the earth’s power
American Thinker ^ | 6 Feb, 2023 | Andrea Widburg

Looking at the horrific footage emerging from Turkey and Syria reminds me, once again, of the earth’s overwhelming power. All the Gaia-worship in the world won’t change that—although rising affluence and building codes can help.

Eastern Turkey was hit in the night with a 7.8 magnitude quake, which is enormous. The Loma Prieta quake, which liquified the ground near the San Francisco Bay, destroying blocks of houses and apartments, while taking down part of the Bay Bridge and a freeway, was only 6.9 on the Richter scale. A second, 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit again in the morning. The first count of the dead is 1,600 people, although that will rise quickly. The quake also hit Syria, although no information has emerged yet.

The footage is overwhelming:

The left will want to name the fault line “Trump’s Fault”.

Had a 4.2 earthquake in BUFFALO NY this AM

What would have been really ironic is if it occurred during a snowstorm.

Global warming. Gaia is angry. Snow in Buffalo is probably about to boil.

Well we’ve got wars and rumors of war.

Earthquakes in diverse places will come too

Matthew 24:6-8
New King James Version

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for [a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, [b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Are small quakes common in that area? I’m on the Cascadia Subduction Zone, and haven’t heard of any recent activity. But 4+ quakes are common.

Not really. Every 5 or 10 years, there will be a minor shake, 3-4 on the richter scale. Some may feel it, but most will only read about it in the news. Today's was a bit stronger - a lot of home-security video of light-fixtures swaying, vases shaking, and dogs barking have submitted to the local TV news.

We do live in interesting times.

The images are heartbreaking. Horrible.

That’s pretty cool. We rarely feel them, here. They’re out in the ocean, and at some depth.

When I saw the back-to-back large EQ’s in Turkey this AM, I immediately remembered we just had a close flyby of a comet not seen in 50,000 years. I have been studying the electric universe and plasma cosmology theories lately with much fascination. Their theories, and even the math, explain this phenomenom, and why comets are historically considered bad omens.

Look ^there for the video on Comets - they are not what we have all been taught. The tail is electrically charged, effects the sun, earth, etc.

This is just one building.

Earlier I saw video of a reporter when a building collapsed down the street, and made a huge cloud of dust blocking further view, then turned around, and in other direction was another building collapsing, then a closer one collapsed as the crowd (and reporter and cameraman) ran away from that one too.
