Okay, if you tell me you are sure the quake in Ear-on was pure coincidence. ;)

I agree. After 30 years on the job I have come to learn that the first thing you should do is take cover. Check your chi. Then take action.

You would have, hands down, but clip on that page when I went said nothing about what you posted. And I've been itching to crack wise about the Iran quake for days. :D

I looked at the USGS quake chart that was linked and see the Iran quake was 85km deep. That's to deep to be one of the HAARP induced attack quakes, right? Sounds like an Ask Adam.

Not sure they are brown enough to start a war tho..should have been in black-face. ;)

But yes, this is great and I hope the real investigators are open to all this, which they ought to be unless they are going for a more exotic suspect.

They look out of place too. everyone else is there having a good time, smiling. But these guys seem more serious, all business...and solo.

No, but 'social networks' can cloak many things.
[The] need for social acceptance, and the apparent sophistication of the new insight, overwhelm their critical thinking.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Availabili ... e_Elements

A hive, or a group acting with a high degree of synchronization (like our current 'networked' culture) can be highly efficient at something like tracking. It is also orders of magnitude more easily deceived.

This, like Sandy Hook, is being managed top to bottom. There will be no spontaneous, unplanned 'discoveries' over at 4chan or reddit. They will discover what they are required to discover. If, by chance, some real evidence does make it into the wild, those who embrace it will be called 'conspiracy theorists', 'anti-Semites', 'militia kooks', etc. in order to discredit, and redirect.

The biggest problem we face today - the one that will eventually defeat us - is the absence of unquestionable source material upon which to form opinions about the world around us.

The integrity is gone. The trust is gone. Nothing is left but the spectacle of the networks.

Oh I agree in general about corruption of media and video/images. However, when you have a huge amount of bystander images, as we do have, we can compare those at least to get some sort of high-level view of what changes may have been done. Also, there are ways to examine images for changes, and we can rank those images in likelihood they are faked or changed (I bet you will like this tool http://fotoforensics.com/).

To me this is one of the few places that actually could figure out something. They are comptrolled as well, but that is a hard thing to do completely. It only takes a few stubborn people.

Either way, this looks on the surface to be legit looking. Maybe it is not them, but this is a thousand times better than anything else I have seen from any source in terms of trying to identify the bad guys.

The kooky thing is that I think this event is one of the few that I could believe is not managed or staged, and yet it seems like the entire internet thinks it is. Even those who were not conspiracy believers are coming and asking me what I think about this.

It scares me because I was always the crackpot, but now everyone is a crackpot.

What I observed after this incident was yet another blunderbuss of sh*t fired against the wall for public consumption by the state and it's monkeys in the press.

Anonymous could be spot on, or this could be an intricate operation by interested parties to A) frame 'islamic jihadists' so the wars & associated $trillion contract economy can continue B) reinforce the 'need' for domestic, ARGUS equipped drones [1][2]. Who knows? How hard would it be to anticipate the large number of personal cameras at the scene, and utilize actors to ensure the suspects' traceability? Far fetched? Yeah, it is really far fetched - just like Tuskegee, Tonkin, & even Starfish Prime.
