US military behind Haiti quake, says Innsbruck scientist

Innsbruck political scientist Claudia von Werlhof has accused the USA of being behind the Haitian earthquake in January, it emerged today (Tues).

According to a report on tirol.orf.at, Werlhof said that machines at a military research centre in Alaska used to detect deposits of crude oil by causing artificial earthquakes might have been intentionally set off to cause the Haitian earthquake and enable the USA to send 10,000 soldiers into the country.

Ferdinand Karlhofer, the head of the Innsbruck Political Science Institute where von Werlhof works, has slammed her comments. He said such conspiracy theory had no scientific basis and her claim would damage the reputation of the Institute abroad.

    HAARP and earthquake warfare was discussed in the European Parliament ten years ago. The representative of the international Red Cross present at that meeting supports the view of Claudia von Werlhof.

    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

    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 ?

    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!!!
