On Dec. 9, 1988 printed, on page C7 of the Antelope Valley Press, was a list of major earthquakes which caught my attention. Here is what I found after breaking the list down into roughly 20 year intervals and doing some research on both earthquakes and strange weather phenomena which seem to go hand in hand:

From 1906 to 1927 (21 years) 6 major quakes were recorded, 2 in China, 2 in Italy, 1 in the USA and 1 in Japan. The death toll for all these quakes: 500,000.

1932 to 1953 (about 20 years) 6 different nations were hit by 11 major earthquakes which killed 180,000. What caught my attention in this series were the 1939 and 1953 temblors in Turkey. (I'll explain later).

1956 to 1976 (20 years 5 months) 13 different nations are shaken by 20 quakes which (unofficially) take 2 million lives or (officially) 1 and a half million.

(missing from this list was the great Alaskan quake of 1964).

What appears to be a pattern or trend shows very distinctly in this time span– it is obvious that there is a dramatic increase in the number of these deadly quakes around the world and the Middle Eastern countries of Turkey (with 4 quakes) and Iran (with 5) are being shaken about every 2 years by these very destructive forces beginning in 1957. It should be noted that Iran and Turkey are neighboring countries and they have an earthquake fault line running through them (see chart 1). Iran is also one of the largest oil producing nations in the world! This should be remembered as we try to figure out what is happening to the planet.

1977 to 1985 (about 8 years) 9 countries are shaken by 8 earthquakes and about 50,000 killed. Not included in the list is the Armenian quake of Dec. 1988 which killed over 20,000 and the 7.3 quake in India in August of 1988. It should be noted that Armenia is also a neighbor of both Turkey and Iran (see chart 3).

It is obvious from all this that a trend started, at the turn of the century, where the earthquake numbers were doubling every 20 years. After 1985, however, the number skyrockets. In 1990 alone 68 major earthquakes (over 6.5 on the Richter scale) were recorded and, between 1977 to 1991, a total of 136 major earthquakes shook the world. This represents a number many times over the previous 70 years!

The Middle East, from 1953 and on, has been suffering great loss of life and extreme property damage from these powerful forces. Until now this is something unheard of for that region in all its recorded history.

The Planet Earth in some ways is a very delicate planet. The crust on which we live and which also contains the oceans is very thin by comparison to the rest of the planet (see chart 2). By comparison to the skin of an apple, the earth's crust is much thinner and it has fault lines that in some places completely encircle the globe and this tends to reduce the amount of stress it can take before it slips and creates an earthquake. The stresses on the earth's crust are tremendous- especially from the centrifugal force created by the 1000 mile per hour spin speed (at the equator where this speed causes the earth to bulge 40 miles) and the 66,000 mile an hour orbital speed around the sun. The moon and the sun's gravity are also acting on the seas and causing great changes in their levels (tides) which affects the pressure they exert on the delicate crust. The spin and orbital speeds combine to create another effect (which few people really FULLY understand) called CORIOLIS FORCE. This force combined with the centrifugal forces could (if we continue to abuse our planet) shake the earth to pieces.

Man over the years has not considered the danger of throwing the earth out of balance by pumping billions of gallons of oil out of the ground and mining billions of tons of coal and then converting these liquids and solids into gasses which are then made a part of our atmosphere. The adding of so much heat and gas to the air around us has to affect the barometric pressure and this in turn is (according to T. Marshall Eubanks, a researcher in the British journal NATURE) causing the earth to wobble like an out of balance washing machine. It already has a two foot wobble at the poles and if it continues to get worse it could cause the ocean tides to get very dangerous or even worse create a worldwide earthquake or volcanic eruption!

As far back as May 1966 scientists were expressing concern over weather conditions around the globe. Some were blaming the (above ground) explosions of H-bombs by both the USA and Russia for causing the problem. An article in the May 1966 issue of Science And Mechanics by A.I. Schutzer accused the Russians of deliberately setting off 10 "dirty" H-bombs in 1961 and 270 megatons of H-bombs in 1962 near the Arctic Circle in order to improve their weather while making our US weather worse.

Some of the bad weather examples given as a result of the bomb blasts were:

In 1965, 4 inches of snow fell on England in August! The river Tiber in Rome was filled with ice chunks for the first time in 500 years. The US weather was also bad- there was a drought in the North East while the western deserts had torrential rains. The tornado rate had increased from an average 150 a year to 300 a year (last 1988 count about 900!). Meanwhile this author claimed the Russian weather had greatly improved. They were having milder winters while their deserts were blooming with drenching rains. His conclusion was that all our weather related problems should be blamed on the Russians. Most scientists of that time disagreed with him.

Another magazine, Saga, in their May 1966 issue, also had a weather story by Peter Lamb who also blamed the bomb for our weather problems but he put the blame on both the American and Russian scientists. He cited the record concerning floods, tidal waves and avalanches around the world.

Lamb concludes that the bad weather and SOME EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES are caused by the H-bomb explosions and he is amazed that no official investigation is being conducted to find out the truth of the matter.

If what these men concluded back in 1965 was true then the number of earthquakes and volcanoes, and the number of tornadoes and hurricanes should have decreased after above ground H-bomb testing was stopped several years ago but, on the contrary, these weather and earthquake problems have continued to grow and the human race is paying a terrible price in life and property.

Since the cause of the weather problem is not the bomb, then the only other cause has to be the burning of these gigantic amounts of oil and other forms of fuel. Along with screwing up the weather, we are throwing the earth out of balance by pumping so much oil out of areas too near to the high speed surface of the equator. Further, the burning of the oil along with coal, natural gas and wood products is affecting the atmosphere by increasing (unevenly) the volume of gas which it comprises. We know that high pressure ridges (high mountains of air) create dry weather while low pressure ridges (low valleys of air) create wet weather. In order to show the dramatic change in barometer readings over the years, in 1987 when hurricane "Hugo" came ashore on the east coast, the lowest barometer reading ever seen was recorded. At the same time, in Alaska, the record setting high barometric reading was recorded; this caused problems for the air traffic control towers as the barometric pressure was beyond the maximum on their dial rendering them unable to give pilots the necessary accurate barometer readings to reset their altimeters. It is clear that no one ever expected to see such high readings, much less the barometer manufacturers.

Chart 4 can be used to show the correlation between the increase in oil production and the increase in bad weather and earthquakes. Chart 4 very clearly shows how the increase in earthquakes (especially in Iran and Turkey) has coincided with the increase in oil production. It should also be noted that, since 1953 to 1985, Turkey and Iran have suffered a total of 11 major quakes. The previous 50 year history shows nothing like it. I believe drilling oil wells near fault lines is an invitation to disaster as in the case of Iran and the West Coast of the United States.

We can close our eyes and hope the problem will go away, or we can try to do something about it before we all get killed. This problem is here and now and it THREATENS TO KILL THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE! World wide earthquakes can trigger volcanoes by cracking the earth's crust. Under water volcanoes could poison the ocean waters and kill the fish. The land volcanoes can poison all the air we breath and create unbearable heat. 

I know the scientists in general won't buy this. They are the ones that got us into the mess to began with. They were the ones that said the car would never endanger our lives with air pollution, They told us the pesticide DDT would never harm the oceans, they told us nuclear power would be so cheap that electric meters would not be needed, that nuclear power was completely safe. They were the ones we trusted to make sure things would never get out of hand. Why haven't they been able to see some of the things I've uncovered and told about in this article? Why are they so blind? The reason they are blind is because of their pride and arrogance which has destroyed THEIR COMMON SENSE. Failure to see truth in these very dangerous times in too many cases spells misery and death, and science and technology has given mankind an extra dose of that because of their carelessness and recklessness. It is time to listen to other people who really care.

The answer to this dangerous situation could very well lie in an invention I came up with 31 years ago. This is a new way to propel in a very efficient manner (over 90% energy efficient) and it also involves totally new energy producing systems. All of this is derived from an amazing discovery of new laws governing motion. If we were to develop these new systems in the next few years I am sure the danger we are facing would soon disappear. I have tried for many years to get the scientific community to consider my plan but like all great breakthroughs, science has rejected my discovery. Hopefully now that we are in so much trouble they may listen to reason. Many (honest) scientists and engineers who have seen my working models have been amazed at the potential they see in the way of saving energy but, for lack of proper funding, the work on these energy saving systems has dragged on now for over 30 years and the public should now demand that something be done to correct this in view of this report.
