In 1997 the United States Secretary of Defense spoke of the ability to conrol weather and to set off earthquakes. Combining that fact along with the disaster training for Haiti the day before the earthquake and the arrival of 10,000 US troops the day after the earthquake add up to coincidences that are beyond coincidence.

Sasquatch says its true, as does the Loch Ness Monster and Atlantians, so it must be true. I do believe that Mighty Mouse was involved due to the droppings found at the scene, but cannot confirm at this time.

This is comes from the country that gave the world one of it's greatest evils. Adolf Hitler and his Brown Shirts. She probably believes Al(I invented the Internet)Gore. However, it is great to know that this nutcase is not a reflection of all Austrians.. I wonder if Austria will take Arnold Back ?

Don't be fools! This technology is not new. It is happening and has been for decades. You can research this subject and educate yourselves. It's real and it's going to be used more frequently as time goes by not only by the US. Many nations are using and have been for a long time, weather manipulation. You can research that as well. Check out Zbigniew Brezinski, Between Two Ages pages 56-57 and Dr. Gordon J.F. Mac Donald, How To Wreck the Environment, Unless Peace Comes, ed. Nigel Calder

What a BRILLIANT idea! Use a secret earthquake machine so that we can overextend our military once again, at our own expense, borrow more money from China to give it away in foreign aid, AND get more negative world press. What a brilliant idea!!! The originator if this theory has a great future in the EU parliament, the United Nations, or at the University of East Anglia. Way to go!!!

The aid effort is being organized and rationed is being handled in ways that are not the most effective possible ways. The groups in Haiti right now are controlled by Christians. They are operating under ideas that are incorrect. They are withholding aid and not working with the Vodouin leaders who are organized. In fact their fears are so much in control that they are denying food to those that follow Vodou and as a result people are dying based upon religion. I think if the Christians understood the truth in Vodou and not Hollywood's image, they would make different choices. I will explain a bit why the persecution is happening and briefly try to clear up some of the myths surrounding Vodou. Hollywood has promoted a faith that is so far form the real religion that the two are not at all similar. The Aid organizations are reacting to that image. The humfo or church group is the center of life and it operates also as a farm. On the farm, the people grow their own food and raise their own animals. When food supplies run low or at times when extra food is needed. Vodouins will hold a ceremony. It is like a Madri Gras as one noted author said on Sally Jessie Rapheal show some years ago. We give our animals a great meal, use perfumes on them and if they step forward use them in the ceremony.You see, we believe we are all leaves on the same tree as you take care of one leaf the whole tree does better. Animals as well as humans have a spirit and are a leaf .We give to that animal the choice, and if it chooses we kill them very quickly and humanely. We pray and give thanks to god for our blessings and to the animal for becoming our food. Christians have a similar practice. They raise their animals on a farm where they are often mistreated, kill they at times les than humanely and pick them up at a butcher. Christians often then pray over their meal as we do. In Haiti, they do not have grocery stores like we do in the west. The church farm is a natural evolution and it insures care and respect given to all. We believe in one god.We believe in Jesus ,Mary and Joseph, the holy trinity and obviously what we call Good God. Vodouins hold that you must never hold a grudge nor should you act out of emotion. It is ok to feel it but not react out of it. That one can be hard especially when you get cut off in traffic or other silly things in our daily life. A priest must help all that come to him, no matter what. If one has no home or income ,the humfo becomes a source of hope and a chance for a new start. I read recently, one journalist say Vodou was actually more like Buddhism.We strive for purity of heart. Only those that have achieved self mastery over their own faults as well as joy can hope to reach up and touch the hand of a saint or angel. If you are cruel, unjust or still confined by your own faults then the angels will not work through you. It is through this interaction that Hollywood has promoted the image of possession. In truth it is very hard to strive to that level and earn the time with these divine beings. You cannot be cruel or hurtful or act selfishly and expect any angel to go near you as they wont. It must be earned. It is my hope they will all learn to work together for the betterment of all. Thank you

We thought we had this under raps. Now that it is out we just as soon tell you what we are up to. The SRAR Machine (Shake, Rattle and Roll) is designed to cause seismic rifts in the deep crust of the earth, therefore generating more pressure and heat on mass deposits of carbon. By doing this we are creating more oil. Thus our obsession with SUV's can go on indefinitely.
