The Internet rumor mill has been going crazy with assorted reports of
an 8.4-magnitude earthquake in Libya, an impending New Madrid
earthquake and, of course, a massive worldwide earthquake that will
destroy the world and usher in the second coming of Christ.
Twitter posts have latched onto an earthquake that was registered by the
National Institute for Earth Physics (INFP - Institutul National pentru
Fizica Pamantului) but was not registered by other seismic agencies.
The earthquake was taken off of the site, spurring a flurry of
conspiracy theories. According to the website, The Truth Behind the Scenes, the INFP Chief, Gheorghe Marmureanu, stated that there was a device error and NOT an 8.4 magnitude quake in the area.
A device error would be a reasonable explanation why other agencies did
not register a quake of that magnitude in the region. The United States
Geological Survey has an automated system that sends out emails of
earthquakes within minutes after they are registered. Occasionally
earthquakes are deleted after review by seismologists but that is after
the initial notifications have been sent out. I never received any
notice from the USGS as I am on the email list and an 8.4 magnitude
quake would have triggered an automatic notification.
In the case of a New Madrid earthquake, conspiracy theorists have posted online beliefs that HAARP--High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program--is
being used to cause earthquakes and has been aimed at the Midwest where
the New Madrid Seismic Zone is located. Per the HAARP website, HAARP's
IRI (Ionospheric Research Instrument) is 'a high power transmitter
facility operating in the High Frequency (HF) range. The IRI will be
used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere for
scientific study.'
The website Before It's News
asserts that HAARP's use of the IRI will trigger an earthquake in the
New Madrid region. The assertion is coupled with the fact that this past
week, FEMA and other emergency organizations nationwide have
participated in the National Level Exercise, which simulated a large
magnitude quake in the New Madrid region.
