Earthquakes are apparently very helpful in furthering the US' geopolitical goals.

Yeah, it is quite interesting that the current earthquakes are in the part where the most important gas and oil pipelines of the Middle East are located.

The AKP government seems to be on the ground to recovering from the disaster. Citizens from all over the country have launched massive aid campaigns. Hundreds of trucks and airplanes are taking aid to the regions. Aid collection centers have been set up all over the country. Food, drinks, electric heaters, blankets, and clothes are being collected with the public's help, but there are still problems with transportation and distribution in the region.

There are still too many collapsed structures and people struggling to survive.



"President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan arrived in Kahramanmaraş on Wednesday after a series of high-magnitude earthquakes that shook 10 provinces and said that all the country's resources had been mobilized, calling for unity.

Speaking to reporters, President Erdoğan updated the latest death toll to 8,574. He said another 49,133 people were injured and 6,444 buildings collapsed in the earthquake.
Türkiye has taken action with all its institutions since Monday's deadly quakes, the president added, underlining that all resources were being used to help the affected people.

"Our citizens should not worry; we will never allow them to stay on the street," he said and highlighted that earthquake victims can stay in contracted hotels in Antalya, Alanya and Mersin provinces."

"As a result of the negotiations with the Turkish Foreign Ministry, 5,309 personnel coming from other countries for help were dispatched to the disaster area," it added.

Besides rescue teams, blankets, tents, food, and psychological support teams were also sent to the affected areas.

A total of 70,818 family tents were set up to shelter survivors, AFAD also said.

It added that 5,514 vehicles, including excavators, tractors and dozers, were also sent to the disaster area.

Meanwhile, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said 77 field hospitals were set up in the 10 provinces.

"We can also perform surgical operations in some of these hospitals where emergency health services are provided. Our earthquake victims whose health conditions are risky are transferred to hospitals in the region by helicopter after the first response," Koca said on Twitter.

Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Minister Murat Kurum warned that aftershocks are still continuing. "Therefore, I would like to underline that the sensitivity regarding damaged buildings still continues."

Dormitories, sports halls, youth centers, and youth camps in 10 provinces are serving quake victims with meal and shelter, Youth and Sports Minister Mehmet Kasapoglu said.

Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said the priority is now to save people trapped under the rubble. "After that, the judicial process will follow. All those who had negligence and fault will be held accountable," he pledged."

I don't know if it's too much of a conspiracy theory, but in the famous Simpsons series, there is a reference to a ship going to Kahramanmaraş. I laughed while watching :) (There is no sea in Kahramanmaraş, but Hatay, another earthquake zone, has a big harbor)

Turkish seismologist Ovgun Ahmet Ercan said in an interview with The Economist that more than 180,000 people may be trapped under the rubble and almost all of them are dead.

I think it makes sense. If we see that the earthquake in Haiti had around 300 thousand victims, the one in Turkey was worse, more buildings collapsed, I think the number of victims can be around 200 thousand. You have to count all the buildings that collapsed, around 6 thousand (or more), with maybe 200 people living in each one? it's a lot of people.

Impressive that the railroad did not break but deformed.... Metals are malleable with heat. Interesting to observe the strength of the seismic wave.

SkyAlert: In Kahramanmaras, Turkey, evidence of shallow ruptures (associated with the fault that produced the earthquake) with displacements up to 3.3 m have been found.

The shallower the rupture that caused the earthquake, the more intense the shaking.

Kahramanmaraş/Türkoğlu: our first measurements were 3.3 m at this point

These earthquakes are a 'golden' opportunity for foreign spies to infiltrate Turkey and 'stabilize' a fifth column. Just imagine how many things can be shipped to Turkey under the 'humanitarian' tag. Subtle preparations for a huge conflict in the Middle East?

Syrian Health Minister urges countries around the world to provide aid following quake

According to Hasan Muhammad al-Ghabash, many companies are unable to provide medical equipment to Syria because of sanctions

BEIRUT, February 8. /TASS/. Syrian Health Minister Hasan Muhammad al-Ghabash on Wednesday called on countries of the world to provide Damascus with equipment and assistance to deal with the aftermath of the February 6 earthquake, according to a statement to this effect published on the ministry's Facebook (a social media site banned in Russia since it is owned by Meta corporation deemed extremist by the Russian authorities).

"My message here is from the site of the event to all countries of the world to provide everything that can be provided in terms of equipment and aid to Syria," the minister said from Aleppo. "We thank everyone who contributed to helping those affected by the eartquake. We hope that this flow will continue and [will] not be momentary," he continued.

According to al-Ghabash, many companies are unable to provide medical equipment to Syria because of sanctions. "The blockade prevents many companies from supplying the necessary medical equipment, and we call on all organizations to intervene immediately to provide all necessary medical aid," he stressed. Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad pointed to the problem on Tuesday, noting that "sanctions only exacerbate the disaster."

A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit the Kahramanmaras province in southeastern Turkey on Monday night. The tremors, followed by hundreds of aftershocks, were felt in ten provinces as well as in neighboring countries, including Syria. The Syrian provinces of Aleppo, Latakia, Tartus and Hama, situated in the west and north-west of the country, were hit the hardest. The latest reports say that over than 8,500 people were killed in Turkey. According to the Syrian Health Ministry, there are more than 1,200 casualties as a result of the earthquake, with the number of injured exceeding 2,200.

Turkey-Syria earthquake death toll tops 15,000

Rescue teams have continued searching for survivors buried in the rubble of thousands of buildings destroyed in Turkey and Syria by disastrous earthquakes that killed more than 15,000.

Noami Klein in her The Shock Doctrine talked about how crises are used as opportunities for pushing through policies that cannot be pushed through in normal times. It's bound to happen this time around, in one form or another.

Please correct me if i am wrong, in a session a couple of years ago there was earthquake topic and Cs replied something like - strong one can produce ‘resonance’ along major fault lines and can start opening up like zip?

It was mentioned here (Session 22 March 2014):

Q: (Perceval) Well, sure, yeah. (Pierre) About Year Zero? (Perceval) So, you were talking it being the beginning of the end.

A: Just as earthquakes can begin with one that then begins an "unzipping" process, so does the changing of realms. In fact, the two have a lot in common.

Q: (Andromeda) Yeah, all these earthquakes in California, South America, the ring of fire... (Pierre) Yeah, a lot were along the Ring of Fire surrounding the Pacific Plate. Unzipping, does it mean it's the whole plate was attached and it's kind of moving... (Chu) Well, unzipping is like starting to reveal... opening up. Outgassing and all that, different openings... (L) Yeah. (Andromeda) So is there going to be a really big event then soon? (Chu) Wait and see!

A: Wait and see!

Rahm Emanuel used this expression during recession of 2008 - "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

 

[Nević Nenad]

Rahm Emanuel used this expression during recession of 2008 - "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

But, to have gain from the crisis there also has to be conditions met. From the Russian intervention in Syria those conditions are geting to be less and less in the whole world. So, nothing of "not leting crisis to go waste". All their talk is psychopatic wisful thinking. Dont forget that they are machines unable to learn, just to repeat.
