Two New Aftershocks Rock Haiti
Port-au-Prince - Two new aftershocks rattled Haiti Tuesday exactly two weeks after a massive quake left 150,000 dead, U.S. officials and witnesses said.

(REUTERS/Tomas Bravo) The U.S. Geological Survey said a 4.4-magnitude tremor shook the Caribbean nation early Tuesday at 6:16 am (1116 GMT), while AFP journalists and Haiti residents were woken up an hour earlier by an aftershock about 5:00 am.
Felix Lundi, one of thousands living in a makeshift camp, told AFP that towards 5:00 am "I got up and went into the street. It was not very strong, but I'm still afraid of another big quake."
Trader Edison Constant, said he felt the aftershock at 6:15 am at his home in the Delmas district. "I left my house to find some shelter," he said.
"We just can't get used to these quakes. Each aftershock is terrifying and everyone is afraid."
In the Petionville district, iron merchant Julien Louis said he had felt the aftershocks. "I hid under my bed," he told AFP.
More than 50 aftershocks have rocked Haiti since the January 12 7.0-magnitude quake, and each one brings new terror to the devastated people with a million left homeless. The largest aftershock so far has measured 5.9.
According to the USGS, the risk of strong aftershocks remains high for Haiti during the next 30 days, with a 25 per cent chance of one or more measuring more than 6.0 on the Moment Magnitude Scale.

Sounds like the "Angels" are still playing their HAARPs up in Alaska, in their continued experimenting with the poorest, disposable country there is, with its plethora of U.S. troops occupying under the guise of helping, a moth-eaten government, and the U.S. ready to claim all those minerals under the mud that are lusted after by the usual Corporate creeps.
I see absolutely no difference anymore with Hitler's visions of world conquest, Nazi Germany's military build-up and then invasions, one after another, and the vox populi shut down with the threat and actuality of imprisonment, torture and death.
Sometime in March there will be a conference of various governments and corporate big-wigs to figure out how to rebuild Haiti. Don't hold your breath, since there was no mention that anyone from Haiti would be at the table.
Oh, well. Even if some representatives from Haiti are at the table who will really listen to them?
Agendae seem to be set in too many places around the globe for military/corporate takeover. Heil Hitler.

I assume that you aren't serious about that "HAARP" stuff.
The scientific illiteracy of USAns is pretty stunning.
Really. The scientific illiteracy of Civil Engineers astounds me, over and over and over again.
Stunning, Troll pjd412.
