Chavez: U.S. Weapon Test Caused Haiti Earthquake
January 22nd, 2010If you know of better sources for this information, please send them over.
UPDATE: Hugo Chavez Did Not Accuse the U.S. of Causing the Haitian Earthquake
It turned out that the dodgy sources for the Chavez thing lived up to their reputations.
Via: The Anti Press:
On January 19, Spanish newspaper ABC, a newspaper of record in Spain, published a story entitled Chavez accuses US of causing earthquake in Haiti.
The story was quickly picked up by websites around the globe – most quoting Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez as saying the U.S. used a new tectonic weapon to induce the Haitian earthquake. This was, according to Chavez – “only a drill, and the final target is destroying and taking over Iran”.
Within the actual story, ABC noted that the information came from an obscure opinion post on the website of a Venezuelan state television channel, VIVE Television. The post referenced a supposed Russian military report on American seismic weapons.
All quotes subsequently attributed to Chavez regarding Haiti and earthquake weapons were in fact direct quotes from this web posting – none of which was ever uttered by Chavez.

Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez has once again accused the United States of playing God. But this time it’s Haiti’s disastrous earthquake that he thinks the U.S. was behind. Spanish newspaper ABC quotes Chavez as saying that the U.S. navy launched a weapon capable of inducing a powerful earthquake off the shore of Haiti. He adds that this time it was only a drill and the final target is … destroying and taking over Iran.

Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.

Nope I don’t think so. That’s attributing more power than conceivable to very incapable people and organizations.
Electromagentic? No! No way you’d have to have a huge power plant right there.
Thermonuclear? Yeah, maybe, I think we’d be talking gigatons though. Ad where the hell did they bore the hole to put it in the ground.
Natural event? Yes.
Thank you for posting this Kevin. @Mr. Marks attributing more power than conceivable? I’m laughing at your comment. Not at you, but I think this earthquake being attributed as Mr. Chavez says is VERY conceivable.
Disasters that look to be of natural causes, to name a few: Katrina, the Indonesian tsunami, all, in my mind (and gut instinct) spell human intervention. And how Haiti.
Drilling and whales beashing before the tsunami looks to me like it was caused by human intervention:

Of course, we shouldn’t blame the oil drilling nimrods. They would have “no idea” they’d be disrupting the tectonic plates (and thats putting it nicely).
British ships leaving the Haiti-Carribean days before the earthquake for the first time in 200 years (see related prior Cryptogon post)?
It would be laughable if these “very incapable people and organizations” didn’t seem to target those who are already in abject poverty but were getting along with their lives until these nimrods picked them for a target – with intention or not.
But these inept ones are very good at targeting the poor. These seem to be of late the target for these experiments.
Kudos to Chavez for going out on a limb. He says things I think out loud and he has a much larger platform to speak from.
I was going to send the antipress link over. What about a monthly *updated articles* post ?
