All of these ridiculous stories, each lacking one iota of hard scientific evidence or any other kind of validation, would surely be the envy of some of Hollywood\u2019s blue chip screenplay writers. The disinformation theories spewed out on the internet in the last several years are similar to those the have been concocted about 9\/11.<\/p>\n<p>The following animated map of the March 11 earthquake pattern around Fuksushima is most enlightening.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.japanquakemap.com\/\">http:\/\/www.japanquakemap.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The sci-fi silliness of these \u2018theories\u2019 (always delivered to the feeding troughs of the unwary as being FACTS) can be enjoyed by reading the following list:<\/p>\n<p>1. The first of these sci-fi \u2018theories\u2019 is aimed at the longtime techno conspiracy whipping boy\u2026that Alaskan antenna farm called HAARP. There is no question HAARP has the potential to be directed at specific types of geological faults which can probably be made to slip with Tesla Type EMF Resonant Vibrational Frequencies.<\/p>\n<p>2. Second on the list is the amazing allegation that two \u2018nuclear weapons\u2019 were stolen from the sunken Russian submarine Kursk\u2026apparently under the noses of the entire Russian Navy which was on the scene until the sub was eventually pulled up. The story claims the two nukes were then smuggled to Japan, crossed Honshu Island by road and then on to a port where they were taken by boat out to a large drilling ship off the coast of Fukushima and somehow made to drop down a 10 inch diameter drill pipe. They were then allegedly detonated sometime after the ship hoisted anchor and departed.<\/p>\n<p>3. Next on our Fukushima\u00a0<em>nukular<\/em>\u00a0bomb list is the claim that the US Navy triggered the quake and tsunami by sending a submarine to the area whereupon it fired off two nuclear weapons\u2026and presto\u2026.a 9.0 quake and tsunami.<\/p>\n<p>4. Most currently, the submarine story has been revamped to contend that the \u2018Israelis did it\u2019. Now, it is claimed that an Israeli German-built diesel electric sub did the dirty deed with a couple of nukes to \u2018get even\u2019 with Japan for some obscure and completely unprovable reason.<\/p>\n<p>5. To wrap up the list of 5 theories as to why Mother Nature was no longer allowed to create an earthquake and tsunami off the shores of Fukushima is the nebulous and baseless claim that there is now some kind of ongoing worldwide \u2018Tectonic Warfare\u2019 underway with various countries allegedly triggering quakes to harm and damage each other. In sum, no significant earthquakes are naturally-occurring to these hucksters any longer. If they weren\u2019t peddling this silliness, their internet \u2018notoriety\u2019 would go into a downhill slide. There are many, many agents and egos constantly looking to invent or promulgate some sort of nefarious conspiracy theory on almost any \u2018marketable\u2019 subject to<br \/>\nremain \u2018hot\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Fukushima Goes, So Goes\u00a0Japan The Fukushima Five *Permission granted to post by the Fukushima Five Tokyo has the largest \u201cgreater metro\u201d population in the world at about 34.3 million.\u00a0 Tokyo has the largest GDP of all major cities in &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=2369\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2369"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2369\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
