Since our model turned up in March for activity around the Ring of Fire in the Pacific, there have been near simultaneous earthquakes opposite of each other of the Ring of Fire. An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.8+ hit the Kumamoto prefecture in southern Japan on April 18th, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. Then a near 7.0 earthquake hit Ecuador April 20th. A major earthquake 7.0-7.3 hit the Pacific nation of Vanuatu early on Friday April 29th (their time), briefly prompting a tsunami warning that was cancelled after locals reported no significant damage. There was also a M6.6 earthquake on the Northern East Pacific Rise in the ocean about 800 km from Mexico. We are starting to get activity within a day or two on opposite side of the plate from each other. Our preliminary computer models are showing an uptrend now in activity for earthquakes and volcanoes from March of 2016. Something seems to be brewing.
We monitor such events because they can be very profound economically – at least the big ones. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake led to the Panic of 1907 and ultimately the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
The 1923 earthquake which devastated Tokyo was a monumental event. The Japanese stock market peaked with that event and collapsed never participating in the rally we saw in the USA into 1929.
Such events are part of the system. They have produced the wildcard in the financial game of monitoring the world economy.
Martin Armstrong has always said that the gold and silver markets are not manipulated.
Hurry, look at my neato earthquake charts as I try to divert your attention from all of my epic fails.
Take this former federal prisoners’ screeds with a few grains of salt as he is a proven liar.
You have been warned!

Michael has been waaaay out front of the whole earthquake, HARRP thing whereas Martin is just getting started.
TG- MA is CIA/MIC and completely FOS.
Armstrong’s Commodore 64 computer sure has been overloaded with work lately, covering everything from markets to seismology, politics, and sunspots.. Maybe that’s why his predictions haven’t been working out too well for him.
Ah Bea, thanks for that and that would explain a lot about MA.
Every year around this time, people go into an earthquake craze. Last year, I pulled up the year-to-date earthquake data for the last 5 years. There had been no increase in activity.
I guess I have to do it again this year. Here is the chart for 2016:
The big one is coming to California soon, the one where everything east of the San Andreas fault breaks off and falls into the Atlantic ocean.
I posted this on the sunspot thread the other day– please don’t take it as repeat-spam, it’s relevant.
This tracks earthquakes as solar-related events (at least in part), and deserves viewing. Check the youtube channel for some excellent explanatory videos…
@Iconoclast:
DATES FROM & TO PERIOD NO. EARTHQUAKES (Mag. > 6.99)
————————— ———– ——————————
1863 to 1900 incl 38 yrs 12
1901 to 1938 incl 38 yrs 53
1939 to 1976 incl 38 yrs 71
1977 to 2014 incl * 38 yrs 164 (to Mar. 2011) predict >190 in total.
* Although periods are shown up to 2014, this report was initially written in 2006. Therefore the final period (from 1977) will be updated as required until the end of 2014. In the meantime a predicted total is shown.
The earthquake (OFF EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN) – incidently one of the largest in recent decades – on 11th March 2011 is the last included in these numbers.
Apart from the “long-term” trends shown above, which show an ongoing persistent increase, it is perhaps more stark to record that earthquakes across the planet show a marked increase in activity since 1997. There are more major earthquakes occurring now, and this on an ever more frequent basis.

Play this visualization of the 2011 Japan earthquake and listen to the “pings” get louder in correspondence with the quake magnitudes as they rapidly increase. Stunning video.
