NZ Earthquake
Sep 4^th, 2010 at 9:25am

The earthquake which rocked New Zealand on Saturday morning was felt across the South Island and caused widespread damage, journalists say.

Whole parts of Christchurch were reduced to rubble and one man was seriously injured when a chimney fell on him, following the 7.0 magnitude quake. ..

All the best to our resident Kiwis. I hope that all is well with friends and family back home.

There seems to be a lot of Quake, Tsunami, Volcano, etc, etc action of late.
Coincidence with the Solar System moving back down across the Galaxy Plane?
...the planet stretching and vibrating a bit.
...the planet suddenly changing its rotation (again).

Throw in the fact that the atmosphere is thinning out, producing more Carbon Dioxide - is so polluted that if the Planet was a person, they would be coughing like someone with Emphasema.
The Waterways and Oceans are so polluted, that if the Planet were a person, they would be vomiting and hung-over from Alcohol poisening.
Throw in Nuclear Testing underground and seismic blast Tests from Military around the world.
Satellites and Radio waves pounding and buzzing around the planet willy-nilly that our Magnetic Sphere is starting to look fuzzy and erratic.

I've heard talk that New Zealand is growing in size - ie: rising up from the ocean. But I've yet to find info on this. Has anyone else heard of this before?

When I looked at pictures, it didn't really look like rubble. Structural damage? Yes. Rubble? Not really.

I should point out that there hasn't been any 'Nuclear Testing underground' since 1996, you know??
The atmosphere isn't 'thinning out' carbon dioxide is denser than air, and the Earth has ALWAYS been bombarded by radio waves.....

Whateve it is you're on....I'd suggest cutting back a bit....

there are theories that the earth's crust has been damaged and is actually cracking. One example is the Indonesian earthquake tsunami. I understand the British did a geological survey of the ocean floor there after that very big earthquake and I understand they found that the crust has been damaged there and is continuing to rupture. Maybe that is happening elsewhere on the planet, because the instances of these seem to be rapidly increasing.

It takes the British apparently to have a look, even though the site is off the coast of Western Australia which could be extremely vulnerable to a big earthquake in the Indian Ocean. Any investigations done? Nah, not in Australia.

The earth is always cracking.
The earth is volcanically active.
