Japan 7.4 Earthquake, an omen of things to come?
"Scores of villagers on a remote Japanese island chain scrambled for higher ground after a major 7.4-magnitude offshore quake early today sparked a tsunami alert, AFP reported. The alert was later downgraded. Waves of 30cm hit the shores of the Ogasawara islands, an archipelago with a population of about 2,300 some 1000km south of Tokyo, near Iwo Jima in the Pacific Ocean." New Zealand Herald
I've been following this from broadcast off the mainland. This comes on the hill of the lunar eclipse. The crazy thing is I was just reading about this in the book: The Extinction Protocol: 2012 and beyond by Alvin Conway I am very concerned about the Japanese Islands where I was born. Here's a link to a website that monitors earthchanges news associated with the approaching 2012. The Extinction Protocol: 2012 and beyond | 2012 and Earthchanges News events |
So every earthquake in the last 2 million years is because a dude written that the world would end in 2012? Earthquakes are just normal for a planet with a thin sheet of solid surface over a liquid core that it's constantly moving.
Heck, people are so easy fooled by anything. I still remember when 2000 approached and some people got themselves in bunkers for a few weeks to escape the ending.... |
Is this about the earthquake last night (like 3 AM)? If so, it was pretty intense where I'm at.

This sort of thing happens all the time in Japan.
The worst shaking experienced from this was a 4, and that was on a tiny island. Tokyo was only a 2, which is not even worthy of being mentioned on the news. (Except in those beep beep caption things.) If an earthquake occurring in a location famous for having countless earthquakes has you worried about the end of the world... umm... I don`t really know what to say. You`re free to worry as much as you like, but at least look for something unusual. |
Ah but it occurred in conjuction with a total eclipse of the moon on the winter solstice Nyororin!! If that's not a portent of the approaching apocalypse I don't know what is!! :mtongue:

The world will end 12/31/2099 because that is the last day available on CASIO watches....
If you think that's funny, it's the same as the 2012 predictions.... The Mayan calendar only goes as far as that date, so that makes it the end of the world? Puhleease! |

Gee, what's a girl to do? What people are even more self-convinced'of is by what they don't know. Read the book or browse the thread and read the news articles and then let's have an intelligent discourse on physics and geology. Can you provide any proof the world is 2 million years old? Recorded history barely stretches past 7,000 and do you have any idea of what 2 million years of the planet sitting here with no humans would do to the geology; the oceans; the climate the dust, meterorites and residue that would collect across the surface of Earth over that much time. People that talk about Earthchanges being relegated to a Mayan calendar really show how much they know about the issues confronted the planet- global warming, quakes, volcanic eruptions and climate change. We live on a speck of dust in a far flung end of Orion's arm of the Milky Way Galaxy nestled among 400 billion stars...I don't know what any of us have done to earn the "I'm important prize" but I assure you all our smug little lives on this planet is relatively inconsequential in the grand scheme of things in this galaxy, let along outside of it. Civilizations on this planet come and go like the wind and our present civilization, in all its vain glory, is certainly no exception. |
Thousands of earthquakes happen every single year.. 15 of which on average are of that size.. I do not see what the big shock/worry is.
