Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 79
Feb. 7th, 2023 12:15 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:
1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

One hand will be pointing at where the compression p-waves are coming from and the other hand will be pointing at where they are going to. It is very hard at first to figure out which hand is pointing at the epicenter but you can feel in your feet the p-waves directional movement.
Then there will be a pause with no ground motion until the up & down (secondary) s-waves arrive. The shorter the interval between the p and s waves arriving, the closer you are to the epicenter. (Like counting the seconds between a lighting flash and the arrival of the sound waves you have to be mentally ready right away to start counting the seconds to be able to do the distance math.) It is tough but possible to body surf the s-waves to confirm where the fault break is with your body. S-waves often feel like they sort of shimmy around unlike the very focused p-waves.

A seismograph image recorded in Palmdale (70+ miles away from the the Hector Mine) showing the p-waves arriving, a pause, and then the s-waves arrive.

Virtually all quakes have aftershocks all along the broken fault's "zone" such as the biggest quake l've ever felt, Hector Mine marked in yellow here with its aftershocks. Current theory is a 1992 quake on the nearby Landers fault stressed the Hector Mine fault to break in 1999.

Found this interesting "debunking" report of a possible electromagnetic signal a week before the Hector Mine quake.

Date: 2023-02-10 07:23 pm (UTC)FWIW:
-big earthquakes in the crust of the earth will ring the entire planet including bouncing off the magma/core boundary like a bell so a big quake on one side of the planet will be felt on the other side.
- the rock record, especially in the mid-oceanic plate spreading rift valleys indicates the Earth's magnetic poles have flipped many times. No clear idea why that flip happens where the north pole become the south pole and vice versa. Theories range from asteroid impacts to the churning of magma and deeper down the hot iron core having their magnetism affected. Like the winds & tides caused by Earth's rotation and its gravitational connection to the Moon - but on a much longer timescale. Edward may have been feeling the magma or core rumbling?
- any boater or airplane pilot has to set daily their magnetic compass to the known geographic direction to the geographic North or South Pole thanks to the normally slow "drift" of the magnetic poles. The drift was slow and meandering when I started training as an airplane pilot almost 40 years ago. The drift rate has accelerated and is moving in straight lines in the last decades.
