My first thought upon hearing the news of the rare 5.9 magnitude earthquake in Virginia this week was that it was not a natural occurrence. After all, no one has ever felt or even heard of such a powerful temblor happening in this area in a lifetime. As is usual for my cynical instincts, I hoped that I was wrong. However, several anomalies indicate that something is not normal with the Virginia quake.
First, I spend a lot of time in the "Ring of Fire" zone and have experienced numerous earthquakes. By no means does this make me an expert, nor scientifically qualified to analyze earthquakes. But, as enthusiasts, we looked up every quake we felt over a five-year period -- the size, epicenter location, depth, and so on, to get a general sense of placing how it "felt" relative to the official data.
Furthermore, curiously, the "Great Virginia Quake of 2011," unprecedented in size and scope, should have grabbed the media headlines and discussion for weeks, but Hurricane Irene has all but wiped the earthquake off the weather map. Even as all the storm measurements for Irene show that it will likely be a minor nuisance, maybe some flooding and power outages, multiple states of emergency have been declared, mandatory mass evacuations ordered, and the media is all too eager to spread the panic. You'd think the east coast of the United States was being invaded. It feels like a distraction, or perhaps a large but manageable live drill of some kind to make heroes out of our politicians, and FEMA look like a successful agency.
If this manic and surreal coverage of Irene is a deliberate distraction, the anomalies regarding the recent earthquake may have provided sufficient motivation for doing so. Not to discount other establishment catastrophes that they may want to distract from at this critical time -- like the crumbling economy, record political disapproval, and the bungled invasion of Tripoli -- but, if any discussion about the unusual nature of the earthquake was allowed one must ponder if some sort of manipulation was involved. The establishment will not permit such talk, apparently; hence the rapid about-face on earthquake coverage.
Below are six abnormalities about the Virginia earthquake that should warrant further investigation:

Unusually Shallow Depth: The initial hypocenter (depth) of the quake reported by the establishment media was, wait for it, wait for it, only 0.1 miles or about 528 feet (161 meters) deep. That's right, AFP announced the depth with certainty, "The Pentagon, the US Capitol and monuments in the nation's capital were all evacuated after the 5.9-magnitude quake, which was shallow with its epicenter only 0.1 miles underground." The depth was later adjusted to a more believable 3.7 miles (5.95 kilometers) beneath the surface. Still, shallow-focus quakes usually only occur in areas abundant in seismic activity, like the ring of fire. And the depths of those shallow-focus earthquakes are usually in the tens of kilometers deep. The Earth's crust in the Eastern U.S. where "the fault lines are more healed" is described by CBS News as "older and colder" than out West. Which, according to Wikipedia, means it should have been a deep-focus earthquake with a depth ranging from 300 to 700 kilometers. Certainly not one barely below the Earth's surface.
Odd Seismograph Reading: A reporter from Press Core received an anonymous email from someone claiming to be in the U.S. Air Force that stated the Virginia earthquake “wasn’t a natural earthquake and not a HAARP earthquake." The reporter was instructed to find a seismograph of the Washington DC area earthquake and compare it to a past earthquakes and seismic readings of the alleged underground nuclear test by North Korea that resulted in a 4.7 magnitude tremor at a depth of zero.
Seismograph of Virginia quake in green -- Washington and Lee University (85 miles from epicenter) |
When a fault ruptures, energy is released in the form of seismic waves. The first waves to reach the earth’s surface are primary or 'P' waves (Figure 2). P waves are compressional waves that travel at a speed of about four miles per second near the surface – faster as depth increases. The next waves to reach the earth’s surface are secondary or 'S' waves. S waves are shear waves that move at a speed of about 1.5 miles per second. P and S waves are body waves that travel through the earth much like sonar waves travel through water. Surface waves, which are slower than S waves, travel along the surface of the earth much like waves at the surface of the ocean. S waves and surface waves cause the most destruction at the earth’s surface.The article concludes; "What is missing from the seismograph for the Washington DC area 5.8 magnitude earthquake are the primary or 'P' waves. All earthquakes that are the direct result of fault rupture have these primary or 'P' waves. Nuclear detonations do not."
Distance Felt: As my introduction stated, I've never "felt" an earthquake whose epicenter was farther than 50 miles away. Of course, this doesn't mean that it's not possible, as clearly this was felt upwards of 500 miles from the epicenter. The CBS article quoted above that referred to the crust as "older and colder" also uses that argument to explain why tremors were felt so far away: "The East is far less seismically active -- but when earthquakes do hit, that hard ground is far more effective at conducting the seismic waves. When you hit it, it rings like a bell," said Christopher Scholz a professor of geophysics at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory." This seems a bit contradictory given the shallow depth of the quake, but there may be some validity to the "bell" theory. The fact remains, earthquakes whose effects travel long distances are uncommon, hence the reason for the CBS article about why the quake was so "widely felt."
'Remarkably Low' Number of Aftershocks: Amy Vaughan, a geophysicist with the USGS Earthquake Information Center in Colorado told CBS News that "For the size earthquake that occurred, I think the number of aftershocks so far has been remarkably low." Don Blakeman, another geophysicist at the Earthquake Information Center, added "Typically, the larger the quake, the longer and the greater extent of aftershocks. Shallow earthquakes like the one in Virginia also tend to generate numerous aftershocks." The lack of aftershocks led the USGS to report that the Virginia quake may be just a foreshock of something larger to come. A foreshock is an earthquake that occurs before a larger seismic event (the mainshock) and is related to it in both time and space. I'm not sure what this means other than it's just another abnormality about this quake.

A few articles have speculated that HAARP earthquake weapons were to blame, in conjunction with manipulating hurricane Irene. Indeed, when one knows even the basic capabilities of HAARP, this does not seem too far-fetched. Press Core seems to think the seismic data proves it was more similar to an underground nuclear detonation. One thing is for sure, the mysterious characteristics of the Virginia quake seem to indicate that it was not a typical earthquake.

Good morning and I want to thank you for including my bit of research in your excellent report on the anomalies involved with the Virginia quake.
Secondly, I want to state that while I believe HAARP to be involved in the interesting "tuning fork interference patterns" witnessed in Hurricanes Ophelia AND Irene, I am very interested in this theory of a possible nuclear detonation underground in the northeast as cause for the quake.
I was talking with several people just last night about this very theory as we were on the topic of underground military bases. The lack of aftershocks, the wave propagation noted on the seismic graph, and the shallow depth (which I, too, read plenty of initial reports stating 0.1 miles - which means SOMEone with authority stated this early on, perhaps out of lockstep with the planned "story").
Roughly two years ago, the northwest experienced numerous small quakes, in and around the 3.0 magnitude and after a week or so of this, a grid-pattern began to emerge as to the epicenters. When I noticed this, I began suspecting underground detonations of some sort...again, perhaps for underground military bases or bunkers?
It's no conspiracy theory as to the existence of underground bases. They exist and many, for good reason. Cheyenne Mountain, in Colorado, is a prime example as it houses NORAD. The underground landscape and large highways underneath the Denver airport is no secret and I could imagine - although I'm certainly not an explosives expert - that in some areas, it might be required to chisel through the granite or rock at certain depths.
Did elements of our government detonate a large explosive as they burrowed through deep layers of the Earth, building some massive ark-cave or underground bunker for our lovely Globalist politicians?
It is certainly an interesting concept.
Thanks for posting the seismic data!
Keep up the good fight,

Thanks for the article. I took a class on geology years ago but I'd forgotten about earthquake propagation patterns, so the graph is extremely interesting.
The other thing I thought was weird about this quake was that DC was warned in advance and had already evacuated prior to it.
How did they know?
Though Steve Quayle puts up some questionable material, some of which doesn't come to pass, he is a carrier of some decent information as well.
He's suggested an underground nuclear detonation, and looking at the data, I would agree that makes most sense. Doesn't look like HAARP and doesn't bear the mark of natural earthquakes. Only time will tell.

Thank you for your excellent article. I've been following this closely and found new info in it. I felt it in NE Tennessee up in the mountains. I went through the 1971 7.0 or so earthquake in Los Angeles, CA. It lasted a full minute and started as a slow rumble so I know what you're talking about. Nuclear detonation is certainly a possibility. So is fracking and maybe even Comet Elenin. Hard to tell. I saw a video that explained about the craton and the shifting tectonic plates which I can also see happening. But the seismograph sure makes me wonder if it was nuclear detonation. Great article, thanks!
I was not aware there was an evacuation prior to the explosion.
One part that I found interesting about this is the amazing coincidence that this occurred near so many government installations in a geographic area overrun with government. And it is curious that all the hoopla about the hurricane is pushing this story to the back burner.
Has anyone considered "Fracking" as a possible cause?

THIS ALSO COINCIDES WITH THE STRANGE 'TRUMPET' OR WIND NOISE HEARD AT THE BALLGAME - IF AIR WAS BEING WHOOSHED OUT OF UNDERGROUND TUNNELS DUE TO A NUCLEAR DEVICE...THE QUESTION IS - DID WE MAKE MORE TUNNELS, OR CRUSH SOMETHING IN THE TUNNELS?
I'd like to see more seismographic stuff. The seismographic stuff from WTC was also very interesting. There must be more graphs from university or research centers on the East coast.
That graph looks like a shock wave, not an earthquake. I felt lots in Japan. They build, peak and decay. That just hit full force and decayed.
You seem to forget we are just human and the old saying ''don't mess with mother nature'' always comes back to haunt us , haunt thats what I said , you must be haunted so its time for an exorcism , stand by , let me direct the subliminal digital vibrations here at my lab release you .
first of all you idiots, if you spent as much time out in the real world as you do sitting your asses at your desk searching for bullcrap answers to suit your agenda's, you will find how much you actually dont know. Dc did not evacuate PRIOR to the quake. I was there. The pentagon was evactuated AFTER the tremor. Secondly, why have none of you idiots produced a geiger count of this supposed nuclear explosion? Something that large would certainly leave traces both below and above ground. Whooshing sound indeed. I can not beleive the drivel I see here. A comet? That was the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Every single country in the world would have reported that one. Also, I was here in NOVA during the hurricane and it certainly did not graze us. It was a full on hit. I am going to hazard a bet and say most if not all of you are pimple assed, fat asses living in your mothers basements dreaming of ways to get back at a society that you choose not to be a part of because your weak minds and wills allow you to do nothing productive in life. Do not blame us for your problems. Get a life and get off of the drugs. victor
Maybe Victor's projected anger caused the quake?
For Anonymous calling people idiots......
I NOTICED YOUR ON the computer sitting on YOUR ASS.....
According to this article, the DUMBs (deep underground military bases) have been nuked. Seems the CIA were moving stuff from Langley to their new base under Denver International airport and must now be well and truly buried.

RIP NWO, you will not be missed :-)
I though the duration of the EQ was 30 minutes?
When has an EQ lasted 30 minutes? Never
If that is true there is a big ommission in this article!!!!!!!!
Eric, I am in agreement with your observations "manic and surreal coverage of Irene" and "Even as all the storm measurements for Irene show that it will likely be a minor nuisance, maybe some flooding and power outages, multiple states of emergency have been declared, mandatory mass evacuations ordered, and the media is all too eager to spread the panic. You'd think the east coast of the United States was being invaded. It feels like a distraction, or perhaps a large but manageable live drill of some kind..."
I have friends and family on the east coast so watched TWC intently to know how Irene was affecting them. I couldn't believe the hype! Were they looking for ratings or what?
And maybe you or your readers can answer this question... have we ever declared a state of emergency BEFORE and event? Seemed kinda odd to me!
And here's a video I received a few days ago...thought you might find it interesting. I have friends who live 30 miles from the epicenter of the VA quake who heard a loud BOOM before their house began swaying. They said it lasted almost 5 minutes!! Curious, eh? I have another friend living just north of Trinidad, CO who experienced the quake? there....

The 2004 Tsunami was also caused by an earthquake devoid of 'P'-waves and was suspected by Joe Vialls to have been created by a nuclear device detonated in the Sumatra trench. Vialls died of a 'heart attack' soon after releasing his version of events. His original site has moved but a few archived and interesting links are available here...

Don't worry about Victor, who ascribes himself as one of 'Them', one fine day he will wake up and find out he's been a doormat...
Merry wanderings down the rabbit hole...

Honestly, victor, isn't it a bigger waste of time for you to sit here, berating people who are having an intelligent discussion about current events? Why don't you go back to facebook and talk shit to people there, since you have nothing better to do than SEEK OUT people to be victims of your mockery.
Very interesting article, thank you for the information.
It's easy to dream up reasons for anything. It's a lot more difficult to really analyze something. What I see is no real analysis and tons of dreamed up reasons. First, there ARE P and S waves with ANY earthquake and ANY large underground detonation. The source matters not, it's a measue of how the earth responds to the source. Second, if you want to believe they are setting off nukes under Washintgton, go for it. Whatever conspiracy theory flips your wig. What we have here is just an unusual earthquake in a location that does not have a lot of earthquakes. It happens. Get over it. It's part of narture. My advice, for all those morer willing to believe in fantastic takes rather than simple geology: go back to school and get an education. Most of what happens around you is "normal" rather than "fantastic". Just because it isn't on CNN or you haven't seen it first person doesn't make it unnatural.
