    We are not responsible for earthquakes in that region. This report by humans verifies our statement.
    +++++++++++++++++++

    The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has conducted at least six major underground nuclear weapons tests at its secretive Punggye-ri facility beneath Mount Mantap within the nation’s coastal North Hamgyong Province. Back in September 2017, American seismologists with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) registered the final of these as a 6.3-magnitude earthquake-like event after DPRK scientists detonated their test bomb—but the aftershocks and quakes have reverberated onward into the present day.
    A coalition across three of China’s research universities and the nation’s China Earthquake Administration (CEA) have now traced revived earthquake activity along several once quiet faultlines surrounding Mantap. These quakes, which began with a seismic event on September 23, 2017 (or three weeks after that final September 3 test) have persisted, periodically recurring all the way up to May 2025, the last month that this group collected data for its study.

    “The progressive increase in both the earthquake rate and the moment release rate indicates that the crust did not simply relax toward equilibrium after the final explosion,” the researchers wrote in their new study, published Thursday in the journal Science.

    Instead, they reported, seismic activity “expanded gradually as preexisting faults became active.”

    A literal seismic shift

    The nuclear weapon that North Korea tested in September 2017 had an estimated explosive yield between roughly 100 and 250 kilotons of TNT—at least 10 times the power of the atomic bomb that the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima near the end of World War II. The study’s first author, geophysics researcher Xingli Fan of the Chengdu University of Technology’s Key Laboratory of Earth Exploration and Information Techniques, worked with his team to pull seismic data from sensors in both China and South Korea to better understand this test’s consequences.

    Some of these seismographic stations were quite close, within roughly 50 to 124 miles (80 to 200 kilometers) from the secret nuclear site. The data, which spanned the years from 2008 to 2025, identified 1,399 local earthquakes events during this period—a spike never before seen in earthquake data collected from the region since events like these were first formally catalogued on the Korean peninsula back in 1904. For Fan and his colleagues, the fact that North Korea’s first major nuclear test beneath Mantap detonated on October 9, 2006, served as something of an early indicator that these non-metaphorically earth-shattering blasts were altering local plate tectonics near the mountain.

    Another big clue, they noted, was that satellite radar had measured “substantial ground deformation” atop Mount Mantap’s peak.

    “Rather than generating only short-lived aftershock sequences, such perturbations can initiate the delayed reactivation of intraplate faults that unfold over years,” the researchers wrote.

    Global shockwaves

    While it’s true that underground nuclear testing has been associated with earthquake activity since the start of the Cold War, what’s happening in North Korea’s northeastern province is measurably different. Past studies of these kinds of underground tests at the Nevada National Security Site (Area 51’s neighbor) and the former Soviet Union’s Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan also documented seismic aftershocks.

    But, like ripples in a pond, these episodes were typically limited to the days and weeks directly after each underground nuclear test and were tightly constrained to the region closest to each bomb test’s epicenter. And they almost always faded back to normal in short order.

    The increasing seismic activity near Mount Mantap, then, is anomalous for these kinds of tests—with major implications not just for local earthquake safety but also ongoing monitoring and verification efforts under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.

    “Seismicity occurring years after detonation may complicate attribution and blur distinctions between explosion-related and tectonic events,” the researchers warn. “Sustained monitoring and physically informed interpretation are therefore essential when evaluating late-stage seismic activity in the vicinity of legacy test sites.”

    Just so you know the hold out juror in the Lindsay Clancy case, Michael Desronvil, is a catholic nigger who supports tRump. Wouldn’t you know it?

    His claim that he absolutely believed that she was guilty is belied by the foreperson of the Jury who says that he admitted that he had reasonable doubt. She said that after he said that, she immediately began to fill out the forms. Then he said “I’m still not going to say she’s not guilty by reason of insanity.”

    Desronvil hired an attorney who had previously represented tRump in lawsuits against media companies. You can’t make this shit up.

    Our source has confirmed that beginning some 81,000 years ago the Immortal was observed stepping out of the Sun and grabbing the planet Mercury. It is clear that he took the planet in his hands and squeezed it into a smaller ball. It is estimated that he shrunk the planet about 10 to 30%.

    What are we going to do about this creature?

      Show him some respect,
      Unless you want to see something worse?
      If I’m there immortal and all the little creature keeps saying bad stuff about me even when I’m doing more good than bad, I will show them worse. Use your logic if you have any.
      He left you alone. What else do you want?
      You who said bad stuff about the immortal know how to bush a button.

      The logic escapes me why you would ever think you had any control over the Immortal to even fathom you could do anything about him. Let it go. Put your energy towards things you can control.
      He seems to have done a lot for many and the Universe, and was never given much appreciation or respect. All I heard was “what have you done for me lately?” No wonder he left. I was fascinated by him. I
      hope he comes back.

      PrP, Your quote is spot on. Not much more to say. I’ve lost much hope in humanity.

      • M]1 says:

        Most of us logical beings know that this creature operates with impunity. But our logic tells us that if there is a way to influence IT’s choices, we should attempt to it. I, too agree with both you and Nader1. Attempting to visit harm upon the Immortal can only end in grief for us. But research must go on to attempt to understand this immovable force.

        It may indeed be the creator of the Universe, Known and Unknown, but that is a mystery we have been trying to solve for at least a million solar years. For certain IT is the origin of randomness, followed by order, followed by randomness. Hence, the more we learn about a thing, the more we discover that there is more to learn about it. Perhaps, this amuses the Immortal. We may be just items of ITs imagination. But logic demands that we find out.

If those mice escape their confinement, humans could be overrun by mice that would have the ability to think like humans. They would no longer be trapped, and it is possible they could collude to wipe out the human race or their natural animal predators.

    A strong INDEPENDENT press is essential for Democracy to flourish. It allows exchange of opinions and ideas without violence. It teaches all of us how to talk TO each other, not at us. It permits transparency from those that represent (another Rule) us. Without it there will be no Democracy, and apparently, by his actions/attack against the Free Press, Trump shows his autocratic, anti-democratic and corrupts hands.It also shows the coward news of the Republican Congress, which if United could make Trump’s attacks moot.
    So, here is the deal, if Congressional Republicans don’t push back against Trump, just as they have done up till now, they are enablers, complicit in the destruction of democracy, which suggests to me that it’s okay with them.
    Time to get more involved. Check your sources of news and confirm the facts, , the truth, not the opinions. Listen carefully. Think. Do these “facts” correspond with your situation, with what you see, and if not, make sure that you confirm. That’s what legitimate news outlets are supposed to as well, and not to be banned because you don’t like the truth or the way it’s reported.
    Finally, it’s time vote out the frightened small minded Congress people who don’t really don’t know how to make or even keep America great despite their moniker.

    Every wonder just how dumb is the average white woman is? Check this out.

    Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton (R) told a group of conservative women to vote Republican “even if we’re mad at them,” marking the first time she has publicly weighed in on her estranged husband’s Senate race as he trails in the polls.

    Paxton filed for divorce in July 2025 from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) “on biblical grounds,” accusing him of adultery. She has largely stayed silent on his Senate race, which has divided Texas Republicans.

    Appearing at a Texas Federation of Republican Women meeting, Angela Paxton warned the group that when voting, they should consider that “the party comes with the person.”

    “Because we have more control over that seat and the future when we control the seat, when it’s still in the family, even if we’re mad at it,” she said. “But if we lose it to the other team, the nuances that we want to fix with maybe a certain candidate are nothing compared to what it’s going to take to get it back, right?”

    She added that when Republicans diverge from the party, there are repercussions.

    “They’re [Democratic candidates] not like a stand-alone thing, like a menu item. We have more control when it’s our party,” Paxton continued. “We have more ability than influence, and that person is attached to our party.”

    During the primaries in May, Paxton urged Texas voters to turn out on the state’s primary election day in a social media post, but she notably did not mention her former husband’s race.

    The Texas Senate race is shaping up to be among the most expensive in the country, with Democratic candidate James Talarico narrowly leading Paxton in recent polls. GOP groups are starting to pour money into the race, which is key to Republican hopes of maintaining Senate control.

    Ken Paxton, who defeated Sen. John Cornyn (Texas) in the GOP Senate primary, brings notable baggage to the race. The Texas attorney general has been dogged by scandal, previously facing impeachment in the Texas state House on corruption charges before being acquitted in the state Senate.

    His controversies have led former aides and attorneys who worked for him to support Talarico — including Dan Cogdell, who helped lead Ken Paxton’s defense during his impeachment trial.

    A recent poll showed Talarico was leading Paxton in the Senate race, with 46 percent of respondents supporting the Democrat and 43 percent backing the Republican.
