April 11-13, 2012 --
After revelations from a U.S. Geological Survey report that natural gas and oil fracking has been responsible for some of the quakes in the mid-western United State, comes the following report from off the coast of Aceh on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia:
Halliburton has been engaged in oil exploration off the Sumatran coast using isotope markers that contain small nuclear devices. Although the nuclear explosive devices are small compared to larger military-grade bombs, they may have been involved in triggering the recent 8.9 quake off Sumatra. Conveniently, the USGS, which soft-pedalled the link between fracking in the United States to quakes, quickly downgraded the 8.9 quake to 8.6, not an insignificant downgrade considering the logarithmic earthquake scale used to measure earthquake strength.
