Moar mayhem on the nation's major transportation routes.
Now the Daily Mail error, over ten years ago now, makes sense. Person writing the caption was likely a muzzy.
Of course anon remembers. Everybody freaking out thinking they were going to round up US patriots and put them in death camps. All the US agencies buying up millions of rounds of ammunition. There could be another angle though. Think back to world war two and the Japanese internment camps. We all know the government hides the truth while pushing propaganda, right? What if we were preparing for WWIII as far back as just after 9-11? All that stuff might make sense in that context. Including letting the information leak out to deter the potential adversary? Remember we invaded Afghanistan right away? Remember Trump always mentions how Bagram is just an hour's flight away? The really stupid thing though is that we continued to do trade with them. Huge mistake. Got us into the pickle we are in today.
Ten to fifteen years ago this was called conspircay theory. My how times have changed.
This increase in earthquakes has been attributed by researchers to the rise of a form of oil drilling known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The process involves injecting liquid into a well to break up shale and rock to extract oil or gas reserves, as the USGS explains here.
Often, the USGS says, it's not the fracking that causes the earthquakes but rather the disposing of the large amounts of wastewater it produces.
The disposal of that wastewater which sees it injected deep back into the earth's surface is what researchers have identified as the "primary causal agent" of the increased number of Texas earthquakes, said Dr. Peter H. Hennings, the principal investigator for the Bureau of Economic Geology's Center for Injection and Seismicity Research.
