  1. Oh yes Funny Farmer, it wouldn`t suprise me at all if they were doing under water demolition/explosions to create fractures in the oceans floor so that on day the whole west coast will just slide into the ocean all at once ane then that will take careof a lot of those people that he NWO want to eliminate all at once. Just look at all the people that would be killed and they would blame it on a earth quake.
    Ha, I remember hearing years ago about how one day in the near future that the whole west coast is going to just slide into the ocean.

  2. As someone who monitors earthquakes at least daily I dont agree with you. I would love to see evidence that “As most earthquakes usually occur as land based events. ”
    I can agree that the land based ones make the news more often. As for the rest of your statement IMO you sound crazy. Perhaps you just like hearing yourself type.
