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.

    We were hoping to keep this under wraps for a while longer. Yes, we have a magic machine. The location of said machine is in dispute: the Air Force maintains it is located in Superman's Fortress of Solitude and the Army says it has contol of the machine and it is located in the northern most site of Batman's Bat Cave. Both Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne have declined to comment.

    I have been visiting Austria since 1967 and have much respect and admiration for Austria and Austrians, but this story nearly destroys all the good thoughts and memories.

    lol, The output of HAARP is less then 1/1000000000 times the energy hitting the earth from the sun in an equivalent area of the antenna apperture. Anyone that would say that haarp can do any more then do low frequency radar like measurments either does not understands the physics behind it or is one of those conspiracy types that get off on the issue to influence the idiots of this world. Its a power trip for the people that have those webpages nothing more.

    If, the USA is responsible, I suggest you be our friends. To not be may be very, very bad for your health.

    Jesse Ventura is a lunatic and a liar. His TV show is a laughable, unwatchable series of conspiracy theories packaged as truths. Yet, he is a millionaire who lives in a country that he claims destroys millions. Maybe that is why he allowed his kids to wreck the Governor's Mansion when he was there. The truth: he is an alien trying to destroy the Earth for the Masons.
