How deep can tunnel boring machines go?

For some reason I always wonder if earthquakes are caused by some man made activity, such as secret weapons testing. The quake in China was 6 miles down. How far  down can tunnel boring machines dig?

From Dr Bill Deagle’s December 2006 Granada Forum Lecture:

I took care of John Fialla, who was best friends with Phil Schneider. How many people know about Phil Schneider? Well, they were using tunneling machines back in the mid-90s that could tunnel through a rock face at seven miles per day, that could cut through a rock face with high-energy impact lasers that could blow the nano-sized particles of rock so that there was no debris left, forming an obsidian-like core, and laying an inner core for unidirectional maglev trains that travel at Mach 2 to 2.8 underground between these very very powerful and organized cities.

There’s 132 under the United States, an average of 5.36 to 7.24 cubic miles in size at an average of 1.5 to 4.5 miles underground, built, by and large, most of them in areas away from geotectonic areas - but there’s going to be lots of new geotectonic faults established when you have force 11, 12, 13, 14 earthquakes hit the Earth.

Why are they rushing to do this? Because they know that catastrophe is coming. And where’s this money coming from? It’s not coming from our regular Black Op budget. It’s coming from the illegal sale of drugs. In the United States there’s at least, by conservative estimates, a quarter of a trillion to a half a trillion of illegal drugs just sold in the United States that goes directly into underground budgets, and 90-95% goes to the DUMBs [Deep Underground Military Bases].

China Hit by 7.9-Magnitude Quake; More Than 8,700 Die

China was hit by a magnitude-7.9 earthquake, the nation’s strongest in 58 years, killing more than 8,700 people. The temblor in Sichuan province shook buildings in Beijing, more than 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) away.

The quake struck at 2:28 p.m., 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) deep and 90 kilometers west-northwest of the central city of Chengdu, followed by aftershocks including a magnitude-6 quake 15 minutes later, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Chengdu, home to 11 million people, is the capital of Sichuan, site of 40 percent of China’s gas deposits and its largest panda reserve.

“The epicenter of today’s quake was shallow, which means it released more destructive energy,” Zhang Guomin, a researcher at the China Seismology Bureau, told the state-run Xinhua News Agency. “We have to guard against mudslides and collapsing buildings.”

The death toll in the province is at least 8,700, Xinhua said, with as many as 5,000 killed and 10,000 injured in one county, Beichuan. Rescuers recovered at least 50 bodies from the debris of a high school in the city of Dujiangyan, about 100 kilometers from the epicenter, Xinhua said. As many as 900 students were buried in the rubble.

A ‘Speed Racer’ time warp

Speed Racer, from the makers of The Matrix, opens this weekend. Here is something interesting about the set design.

Some of the home sets in the new film “Speed Racer” are as wild as the action on the racetrack. “We were trying to make the film quite timeless, retro and midcentury, but set sometime in the future,” says Owen Paterson, the production designer, who had worked with writers-directors Andy and Larry Wachowski on their groundbreaking “Matrix” trilogy. One of the challenges was making all the vibrant colors gel. Here, set decorator Peter Walpole used a purplish upholstery that works surprisingly well with the blue linoleum floors and orange accents. -lat

UFO Near Bush Ranch

Angelia Joiner, in her capacity as a staff writer for the Stephenville Empire-Tribune, was the principal reporter covering the sightings in and around Stephenville, Texas in January of 2008. Due to the proximity to the President Bush’s Crawford, TX home (70 miles) and the presence of F-16 fighters these sighting events received international attention. Subsequently, Angelia appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live and continues to do many interviews across the nation. The Mutual UFO Network Texas branch recognized her recently as the organization’s “lead investigative reporter.” Angelia recently left the Empire Tribune and joined Mandatory FM radio station in Stephenville as News Director. Mandatory FM is a growing music station featuring Texas artists and the only local station with a streaming online listening audience. But now it is also “Stephenville’s Official UFO Information Station.” Angelia’s morning news broadcasts are Monday through Friday at 98.5 FM, 107.9 FM and at mandatoryfm.com. In 2007, Angelia earned two second place awards from the West Texas Press Association for feature writing and special coverage. She earned a Bachelor of Science and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Tarleton State University in 1998 with an interdisciplinary teaching certification. She is a native of Stephenville, Texas. During her off hours, Angelia can be found at home writing for StephenvilleLights.com (the official site for updates on the Texas sightings)…

Obama Says He Has ‘Now Been In 57 States‘

“Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.” -abts

There are the 48 states plus Alaska and Hawaii, of course, but Obama may be referring to his plans to add seven more. Candidates: Puerto Rico,  District of Columbia, United States Virgin Islands, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa,  Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, splitting California into North and South… or Iraq.

FBI raids its own offices in fake computer hardware sting

AN investigation into the sale of counterfeit Chinese computer components to the US Government recovered about 3500 bogus devices worth up to $US3.5 million ($3.7 million), the FBI has said.

The criminal probe, code-named Operation Cisco Raider, came amid concerns that counterfeit network components could enable hackers to access secure government databases, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation.

The operation involved 15 investigations at nine FBI field offices and the execution of 39 search warrants, the bureau said.

One official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the components discovered were not believed to have made government computer systems more vulnerable.

Components included pirated versions of Cisco Systems routers as well as switches, interface converters and wide area network interface cards.

Some counterfeit products also went to defence contractors and other private-sector buyers. There was no word of arrests. One official said the probe had been concluded.

The existence of the operation came to light after an FBI slide presentation on the operation’s findings appeared on intelligence and conspiracy theory website Above Top Secret. The FBI made the presentation on January 11 to another government agency.

“This unclassified briefing was never intended for broad distribution or posting to the internet,” said James Finch, assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division.

FBI slides posted to the website showed cases in Massachusetts, Ohio, Missouri, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and California.

The presentation depicted counterfeit components moving from companies inside China to the US Government through distributors in the US, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and Britain. Other components were purchased through the internet auctioneer eBay or with government credit cards from non-government vendors.

Some counterfeit routers sold for as little as $US234 each, compared with a retail price of $US1375 for the genuine article, according to the presentation. In one case, a subcontractor shipped counterfeit components to the US Navy from a supplier in China.

ABC News reported that authorities around the world, including in the US, Canada and China, have made more than 400 seizures with an estimated value of $US76 million. In one instance, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police seized 1600 counterfeit Cisco computer parts. -news.au
