Another 5.5 quake? How many is that in the last two weeks? 8-9? I’m beginning to believe in the “Rods of God” thing the folks here are talking about. Although the HAARP deal is a bridge too far without some evidence.

Popular science article from 2004 saying they are 15 years away and only thing stopping it in 2004 was cost to haul rods to space.

If so-called “Rods from God”—an informal nickname of untraceable origin—ever do materialize, it won’t be for at least 15 years. Launching heavy tungsten rods into space will require substantially cheaper rocket technology than we have today.

The Pentagon’s New Super Weapon Is Basically A Weaponized Meteor Strike

In the 1950s, Jerry Pournelle imagined the military equivalent of the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Toiling away as a Boeing operations researcher in the afterglow of the Manhattan Project and the Soviet Union’s First Lightning nuclear test in 1949, the U.S. Army veteran envisioned a weapons system armed not with munitions and other chemical explosives, but massive rods forged from heavy metals dropped from sub-orbital heights. Those “tungsten thunderbolts,” as the New York Times called them, would impact enemy strongholds below with the devastating velocity of a dino-exterminating impact, obliterating highly fortified targets — like, say, Iranian centrifuges or North Korean bunkers — without the mess of nuclear fallout.

The Ring of Fire is active everywhere but in the United States. Pressure is no doubt building along the west coast.
