On February 6, 2023, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake occurred in southern Turkey near the northern border of Syria. The earthquake was followed 11 minutes later by a magnitude 6.7 aftershock. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake resulted from strike-slip faulting at shallow depth. The event ruptured either a near-vertical left-lateral fault striking northeast-southwest, or a right-lateral fault striking southeast-northwest. The preliminary location of the earthquake places it within the vicinity of a triple-junction between the Anatolia, Arabia, and Africa plates. The mechanism and location of the earthquake are consistent with the earthquake having occurred on either the East Anatolia fault zone or the Dead Sea transform fault zone. The East Anatolia fault accommodates the westward extrusion of Turkey into the Aegean Sea, while the Dead Sea Transform accommodates the northward motion of the Arabia peninsula relative to the Africa and Eurasia plates.
Although earthquakes are commonly plotted as single points on a map, they rupture planes that have dimensions. A magnitude 7.8 strike slip earthquake typically ruptures a fault ~190 km long and ~25 km wide.
The region where the February 6 earthquake occurred is seismically active. Only three earthquakes of magnitude 6 or larger have occurred within 250 km of the February 6 earthquake since 1970. The largest of these, a magnitude 6.7, occurred northeast of the February 6 earthquake on January 24, 2020. All of these earthquakes occurred along or in the vicinity of the East Anatolia fault. Despite the relative seismic quiescence of the epicentral area of the February 6, southern Turkey and northern Syria have experienced significant and damaging earthquakes in the past. Aleppo, in Syria, was devastated several times historically by large earthquakes, though the precise locations and magnitudes of these earthquakes can only be estimated. Aleppo was struck by an estimated magnitude 7.1 earthquake in 1138 and an estimated magnitude 7.0 earthquake in 1822. Fatality estimates of the 1822 earthquake were 20,000-60,000.
(L) I have a question. I've been waiting for somebody to ask it, but since nobody is going to ask it, I want to ask it: Was the Haiti earthquake an induced earthquake, or was it totally natural?
A: (Planchette swirls on board) INDUCED! Bet you didn't expect that, did you?!
Q: (L) Frankly, I didn't. Because I've already gone on record saying it wasn't. I just poo-pooed the whole idea as too far out there. (laughter) So now I've gotta...
(Joe) Well, it was the Russians who said that, wasn't it?
A: No!
Q: (Joe) Didn't you tell us the Russians reported that?
(L) The question I want to ask is, how do they induce earthquakes? (To Ark) How do you think they induce earthquakes? (Joe) Space-based satellite
(Ark) Well, just search the internet! (laughter) Yeah, it's on the internet. You create special waves that go into the earth and propagate in the right direction...
(L) I don't believe it. They don't have enough power to do that.
(Joe) I want to know who induced it?
A: U.S.
Q: (Joe) At the government level, or super-secret nonsense?
A: Secret gov.
Q: (L) And how did they do this? Was this from some kind of waves that Ark is talking about?
A: Close. And notice that no one is arguing with them right now!
Q: (L) In other words, you've got something that can do that, nobody's gonna mess with you.
(Ark) But the main question is, did they really want to induce it in the neighborhood of Haiti, or it was a mistake?
A: Yes, the prep was done.
Q: (Andromeda) So they intentionally did it to Haiti.
(Ark) What I would do, I would use a submarine and go near the fault, and do the job using these submarines as a so to say amplifiers for something. There are these faults under the ocean. It's enough to move this fault in the right direction with the right frequency, and you get it.
A: Too dangerous that way because the pulses would also destroy the sub. Better to use triangulated space-based weapons.
Q: (Belibaste) Why did they target Haiti specifically?
A: Close to South America. Convenient, oil, other factors of imperialistic nature.
Q: (Andromeda) Was it like a test?
A: No.
Q: (Burma Jones) Not a test, so they've used this thing a lot before?
(Joe) They used it on the Columbia.
A: Once or twice.
Q: (Joe) Used on the space shuttle.
(Psyche) That's why Chavez was so sure.
(Ark) It's probably much easier for the island than on the mainland...
(L) Yeah, because you've got separation with the ocean bed and different strata. It would be too uncontrollable if you started zapping a fault on a large land body.
I just wonder why they say "rocky" with quotation marks. Is it related with induced?A: Again we urge all to continuously stay in contact and exert energy on behalf of others in your group so as to refine frequency for receiving. Things are about to get rather "rocky". Help to keep the lighthouse lit at all costs as soon will be vital to all. And finally, be excellent to each other! Goodbye.
I know earthquake-predicting tech exists, but does earthquake-inducing tech exist?
Just wondering.
