Strong quakes rattle East Asia

A strong earthquake has jolted the ocean floor off southern Japan, triggering a brief tsunami warning south-west of Ishigaki-jima island.

The 6.7-magnitude quake also shook buildings in Taiwan when it hit at around 0906 (0006 GMT) at a depth of 10 km (six miles).

The US Geological Survey also recorded a 7.0-magnitude quake in Indonesia's West Sumatra on Sunday.

There were no immediate reports of casualties from either of the quakes.

An earthquake of magnitude 6.4 struck central Japan last Tuesday, killing one woman and injuring more than 120 people.

The Indonesian quake prompted no tsunami warning when it struck near the Mentawai islands off Sumatra at a depth of 32 km (20 miles).

Seven people in the West Sumatra capital of Padang were injured in the quake, which was followed by at least three aftershocks.

大陸急著派直升機 台灣政府「欲拒還迎」

睽違30年風災帶來因緣際會,美國運輸機8/16日重新踏上台灣土地。而急著派直升機到台灣的中國大陸,卻還在等著政府開口,顯然這場國際援助「角力」,美國又取得「先機」,而台灣政府也陷入「既期待又怕被傷害」。

中 國國台辦新聞局長楊毅17日說,大陸方面願意提供包括吊運重型機械直升機在內所有台灣所需的物資和機械,以協助台灣賑災。事實上在8/13日台灣公佈首批 救災物資需求清單後,大陸在次日就告知台灣,願意提供包括可吊運重型機械直升機在內所有台灣需要的物資和機械。而稍早中國國台辦又表示,若台灣方面有需要 更大的直升機,大陸可以向俄國租用「Mi-26」直升機協助救災。

8/16日美國運輸機首先降落台灣,並預定在今天飛來「重型直升機」協助台灣救災,中國不但沒有任何評論,楊毅反而迂迴解釋,有關國家是透過民間管道對台灣實施人道主義援助的。

陸委會副主委劉德勳說,兩天前台灣公佈的外援物資需求清單中,即包括直升機在內。他說,台灣目前已和美國、日本等其他國家接觸,美國願意派出重型直升機來台,因此暫時不需要大陸的重型直升機。

劉德勳解釋說,防災中心需要的10到20噸重型直升機是運載怪手、砂石車等,據交通部方面的了解,大陸重型直升機多在東北地區,要運送來台比較遠,不是小三通方式可以運來的。

面對中國的善意,劉德勳強調,台灣是否需要大陸提供直升機救災,是從救災專業角度考量。至於大陸直升機來台是否牽涉國安問題,他強調,搶救災民一切以人道為優先考量,國安問題將尊重相關機關的意見,顯然,對於大陸軍機降落台灣,馬政府還在評估。

另外,中國國台辦今天通知,首批援助台灣的活動板房,也就是組合屋,將在明天下午從深圳鹽田港啟運赴台。

日本股市大跌 跌幅3月來最大

(中央社台北17日綜合外電報導)日本股市今天大跌,日經225指數寫下3月以來最大單日跌幅。市場擔心在美國消費信心意外下滑後,日本經濟復甦可能步履蹣跚。

亞洲股市今天也收低。中國上證綜合指數重挫5.79%,香港恆生指數大跌3.46%。韓國kospi指數下挫2.79%。台灣加權指數下跌1.95%。印度股市目前下跌2.49%。

今天一項報告顯示,全球各國的振興方案雖然有助第二季經濟擴張,且是1年來首見成長,但民間投資卻呈萎縮。

日經225指數今天終場下跌328.72點或3.1%,收10268.61 點,為3月30日來最大單日跌幅;東証指數下挫2.5%,報949.59點,個股漲跌家數比約為1:6

興業銀行 (Societe Generale)日本資產管理公司首席經濟師表示,美國消費信心不如預期是今天日本股市走低的原因;日本國內生產毛額 (GDP)報告大致符合預期,但股價已反映經濟復甦,很難再造驚奇。

57 Trillion Reasons To Murder 100 Million

The U.S. debt of $57 trillion in unfunded liabilities, according to common sense, is compelling reason for federal governors conspiring with special interests to murder 100 million Americans this fall using poisonous vaccinations.

According to federal deficit calculators at USDebtClock.org, more than $57 trillion is currently owed, including $39 trillion(T) in medicaid/medicare debt, $10T in social security payables, plus $8T in prescription drug liabilities, levying$189,210.00 in servitude upon every American citizen.

The mafia kills people for a lot less. Do you really think your debt collection is proceeding differently?

Consider current White House science czar John Holdren’s published affection for population reduction, nuclear industry promotion, biological weapons distribution, and vaccination sterilization through intoxication advancing under the guises of “national security,” “biopreparedness,” “flu prevention, and “health care reform.”

The fact is, you are worth more dead than alive to Obama’s ilk, because in reality, there is a WARRANT FOR YOUR DEATH THAT CARRIES A REWARD OF $189K, and rising.

Now you would never believe this is true. But do your “homework” and learn the FACTS:

1) Washington, DC is a “district,” not a “state” in the Republic. Legally, it is an offshore or “foreign” corporation.

2) U.S. Federal employees, including Capitol Hill legislators, are legally contracted to perform on behalf of the “foreign corporation.”

3) The “foreign corporation” in now unable to pay its debts.

4) The “foreign corporation” is now calling in its notes.

5) Under Uniform Commercial Code (UCC–global economic administrative banking and accounting law) a liquidity account called a “bond” was created for you at birth.

6) This “bond” secures every American citizen with a birth certificate and social security number against debtor obligations administered through the IRS and Justice Department.

7) Your “bond,” (private trust-like account created when your birth certificate was filed with the state, then sent to the federal corporation) is worth millions of dollars based on expert legal testimonies and insurance industry actuarial projections of your net worth–gross personal production– from birth to grave.

8) Considering your gross personal productivity over your lifetime carries this economic value, you might call this your “gross personal product.”

9) The “foreign corporation” assays America’s “gross national product,” and your “gross personal product” as well.

10) Assets of the “foreign corporation” may be liquidated to pay debts; and you may be liquidated, likewise, for available currency in your “transaction account,” to pay the corporation’s debts through the international bank-serving IRS “balance sheet” provisions that have been secreted from the public, but heralded legally by expert witnesses in tax courts.

The aforementioned FACTS EVIDENCE . . .

THE SINGLE, MOST IMPORTANT, FUNDAMENTAL MOTIVE DRIVING DECLARATIONS OF WAR, WAR ECONOMIES, AND CURRENT INCESSANT POLITICAL IMPOSITIONS, INCLUDING WARS ON TERRORISM, BIOTERRORISM; WAGING BIOLOGICAL WARFARE AGAINST PEOPLE AND MICROBES THROUGH MODERN MEDICINE, VACCINATIONS, AND DEADLY PHARMACEUTICALS.

So you probably never realized you are worth more dead to our current “legal guardians” than alive. This best explains why:

1) Throughout history, global economic collapses have fueled major wars.

2) Hideously harmful, scientifically proven killers are often certified for use by the FDA and “fast-tracked” to markets,

3) The FDA incessantly advances Big Pharma’s Codex Alimentarius plot to terminate over-the-counter access to vitamins, minerals, herbs, homeo-pathics, the healing natural sweetener stevia and energizing ginseng, but grants deadly addictive aspartame, even caffeine, free distribution everywhere.

4) Safe methods of water decontamination, such as inexpensive ultraviolet light and ozonation, or even nano-silver disinfection, is grossly excluded from municipal water purification methods in favor of totally toxic carcinogenic chlorine.

5) Fluoride, a mind-numbing bone-mottling intoxicant, is forced upon nearly everyone as a replacement for education and motivation for dental caries prevention.

6) Mercury in vaccines and dental fillings is still approved after extensive research proving toxicity and substantial morbidity and mortality linked to the heavy metal poison.

7) John Holdren became Obama administration “science czar” given his voracious appetite for population reduction through intoxication of water and food supplies, and the previously conducted mass vaccination causing sterilization as endorsed in his book Ecoscience.

8) US officials plan to administer 3 toxic immune system destroying squalene injections this fall under the guise of swine flu “biodefense,” despite substantial scientific evidence proving this is a deadly immune-intoxicating substance.

9) CDC and NIAID officials lie about HIV/AIDS, in many different ways, quashing safe and effective low-to-no-cost treatments while partnering with private companies advancing profitable drug sales.

10) The new additional federal $1 billion contract for swine flu vaccines include Baxter corporation’s provisions despite the company’s history of genocidal operations. Federal officials were well aware the company spread HIV/AIDS in contaminated blood products AND spread H5N1 allegedly “accidentally” in time for this “biodefense” season.

11) Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama’s Secretary of State, overseeing CIA, FBI and Foreign Policy, was politically positioned to dictate “health care reform,” “national security,” and “national health insurance policy,”
12.

12) Mrs. Clinton went to Mexico precisely when the mysterious Mexican swine flu outbreak occurred to persuade government officials there to stop supporting drug traffickers whose WAR killed more than 7,000 people the previous 12 months. This just proves the “WAR on Drugs” is a profitable security investment for Big Pharma, political liars, and inside traitors(Ref); and why . . .

13) Every one of the deadliest pandemics throughout history has come when severe socioeconomic/political upheaval occurred.

Suffice it to say, knowing all of the above, you would have to be a complete idiot to accept flu vaccinations this fall, or any intoxication through “immunization” ever again.

Stunning new image of Mars show half-mile wide crater complete with sand dunes

It is one of the most dramatic images to ever emerge from Mars.

In fact, this extraordinary photograph is so clear that even the sand dunes at the base of the half-mile wide canyon are visible.

Experts even believe that they can see the tracks of a Mars lander on the left-hand corner of the Victoria Crater.

This image fo the Victoria Crater in the Meridiani Planum region of Mars was taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

Its peaceful history was only broken when a Nasa rover landed in 2006 and explored the area until August last year, leaving behind its trademark tracks.

The space organisation's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter beaned down this stunning shot of the 800-metre-wide crater.

The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera, which took the camera, has been a useful aide in Mars exploration.

Its images helped the Mars Opportunity rover navigate around the edge of the crater, and even take cover when winds kicked up a dust-storm in 2007.

Although the image looks like a 'top-down' shot, it was actually taken at an angle more akin to a passenger looking out of a plane window, allowing NASA to see more of the steep walls of the crater.
