GREETINGS,
FOLLOWING is a note re todays Alaskan quake. First a comment about this thread.
SOME FREEPERS are fascinated with fringe areas of reality. Some of us even think the fringe areas of knowledge, research, anecdotal stories and the like will have very impactful effects on the WAR ON TERROR, WWIII, Biblical end time events etc.
WE ALSO FIND FREEPERS FULL OF GREAT CREATIVITY OF THOUGHT, INSIGHT, WORK RELATED EXPERIENCES AND SKILLS ETC. useful in collecting diverse puzzle pieces and in analyzing them. This diversity is priceless and virtually unavailable on any other site.
While we are seriously interested in topics which others scoff at, throw tinfoil hat assaults at and which we often even can't discuss calmly with many of our relatives and friends--we are either not all loonies or not 100% looney--though perhaps, hopefully, healthily insane in an insane society a la Eric Fromm.
Nevertheless, we do NOT enjoy nor appreciate hostile flame wars and the like just because we enjoy fringe puzzle pieces and analysis. Nor do we wish to cast the least bit of aspersions on FR.
I do not know how many of us will be willing to show up and post on this thread. Many are gunshy from all the flame attacks such topics typically trigger hereon. However, if my FREEPMAIL is any hint, there are plenty to be interested in such a thread.
HOWEVER, to whatever degree I may be graced with the ability to do so--this thread will NOT tolerate flame wars, flame posts, hostile jabs at other posters etc. I will do my utmost to get such posts pulled immediately.
The THREAT MATRIX thread has done mostly pretty well at creating and maintaining a lot of resourcefulness, creativity, camaraderie, mutual supportiveness and friendliness.
I hope and expect that this thread can even do better. Certainly I will do what I can to help make that happen.
If this thread flies and helps in any way analyze the WOT threats as well as natural disaster threats or any other plausible threats from 'reality' (whatever that is), then WONDERFUL. If it's just a good place to toss around the various puzzle pieces and their implications in a convoluted era and reality--that's worth some time, too.
If this thread dies and early death from disinterest, so be it.
If you have comments about the above, please post them! Hostile dereogatory posts will AT LEAST BE WHOLESALE IGNORED.
Below is some of the data on the recent quake and my comment on that.
-----------------------------------
A magnitude 5.2 earthquake IN SOUTHERN ALASKA has occurred at: 61.65N 151.25W Depth 81km Mon Jun 21 21:29:09 2004 UTC
Time: Universal Time (UTC) Mon Jun 21 21:29:09 2004 Time Near Epicenter Mon Jun 21 13:29:09 2004 Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) Mon Jun 21 15:29:09 2004
Location with respect to nearby cities: 85 km (55 miles) NW of Anchorage, Alaska (pop 260,000) 95 km (60 miles) SW of Talkeetna, Alaska (pop 700) 115 km (70 miles) W of Palmer, Alaska (pop 4,500) 1005 km (630 miles) WNW of JUNEAU, Alaska
I recall reading somewhere in the last month, a prediction that a very major devastating quake on the West Coast or the Pacific would occur shortly after a moderate quake in Alaska or just south of Alaska.
We shall see.
Personally, I'd vote for keeping Jihadi's out of quake shelters.

We may be walking a fine line here. But I think that if we are responsible and remotely reasonable, we can at least have some fun and MAY just make some worthy contributions to our understanding of the difficult times we live in.
Cheers, Blessings,
PING RE A NEW THREAD AND POSSIBILITIES
METEOR THREAD HERE:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1157540/posts
Last week there was a mini quake in the area (2.9). Makes one wonder if there is another on the way. Those of you who are older will remember that in 1990 Iben Browning predicted a quake and gave a particular date. The schools had lower attendance, emergency services were on standby, etc. Nothing happened and it was a widely reported non-event.
The interesting thing about the 1811-12 quakes was that they were predicted by the Indian Chief Tecumseh. Its fairly well documented that he did so. Makes one wonder how he was able to do it and scientist today can't.
THANKS MUCH.
WELL PUT.
Have you read ETERNITY IN THEIR HEARTS?
It is a rare Christian book by an anthropologist. It is a collection of stories from around the world of God using various means to prepare different tribal people's for the Gospel.
In one case, a tribal people in Southern China, Northern Burma or some such area . . . HAD NEVER HAD a written language. Yet, there was a tribal story that one day in the future, a white man riding on a donkey would come bringing THE BOOK OF GOD WRITTEN IN THEIR LANGUAGE. This story Shamen had handed down for countless generations.
Sure enough, by an amazing sequence of circumstances, early in this century or some such, I think an American--may have been Canadian or Aussie--arrived at their tribe on a donkey bearing The Bible which had been translated using tapes of their language and a helper.
The book has many incredible stories like that.
I think God sometimes uses virtually any and every channel possible to get through to us thickheaded critters.
I'll certainly vote with you on that one!
CONGRATS ALL AROUND!
Wow, we just moved from the big blue spot late last year. We experienced a couple of shakers while we were there. One was particularly scary.
THX.
However, it is exceeding folly for an individual to assume or expect, much less demand, that God will
use any means to reach a given individual at a given time on a given issue.
God cannot be manipulated nor demanded of!
FIREWATER
FIREWATER merely predicts he'll drive his buggy funny or fall off his horse a lot . . . or stumble a very unstraight line to the nearest tree for his tree duty.
Good one.
"Good one" because it fits a sort of slap happy humor
or
"good one" because you have a rather firm belief against the possibility of anything 'supernatural?'
"Good one" as in humor. As to the second part of the question I believe in the quote from Hamlet,"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." --Hamlet, I:5
Agreed.
Thanks.
There was a brash senior military type who claimed to a UFO/ET/TESLA technologies researcher that:
"if you can imagine it, we can do it, now."
That's an awesome kind of statement! God only knows how true or not.
But I suspect in the next 1-15 years, we will see just technology stuff come out that will boggle even our 'modern' minds. And that doesn't even touch the spiritual stuff crawling out of the woodwork in the same time frame!
Have a blessed week.
Cheers back at ya QUIX. You Got Stones!!! Bookmarked. Will visit as often as Threatmatrix. . .
Oh yea, BTW, T minus one day 'till impact . . . 1/2 lol. . .
