Not wanting to take any word from sites I’m not able to verify content for, I decided to research and establish the potential link between Soviet seismic weaponry and the supercult Aum Shinrikyo. Here’s the link.

Aum Shinrikyo: Once and Future Threat?:

“Millennial visions and apocalyptic scenarios dominate the group’s doctrine, evidenced by the prominent role of Nostradamus as a prophet in Aum Shinrikyo teaching. Ashahara has, on many occasions, claimed to be the reincarnated Jesus Christ, as well as the first “enlightened one” since the Buddha. He has frequently preached about a coming Armageddon, which he describes as a global conflict that would, among other things, destroy Japan with nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. According to Ashahara, only the followers of Aum Shinrikyo will survive this conflagration…

…At the time of the Tokyo subway attack, the cult’s principle venture in Russia was the Moscow-Japan University, with headquarters in offices across the street from the Bolshoi Ballet. Their senior Russian partner in the university was a man by the name of Oleg Lobov, at that time also chairman of Russia’s National Security Council and a close confidant of Boris Yeltsin.“

The link would then be Oleg Lobov. Whether or not the Soviet/Russian scientists had perfected an earthquake or seismic weapon is still undetermined except for a single source.

Here’s a factoid from 1997. I had been out of the Navy for two years and remember hearing what I discarded as rumors of Soviet research into seismic weaponry. SecDef Cohen addresses it in a Q&A session

DefenseLINK News: Secretary Cohen With Senators Nunn and Lugar - April 28, 1997:

“Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon  other nations. It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our efforts, and that’s why this is so important. “

 This is pretty chilling information from a SecDef. I remember seeing him in 1995 aboard the USS Constellation when he came through on a MidEast tour.

Edmonds Institute Occasional Paper:

“To violate ENMOD, an attempt to manipulate natural processes is required. The treaty does not protect states against environmental damages resulting from hostile actions. In other words, collateral damage incidental to warfare is not prohibited.

Article II lists examples of environmental modification techniques and includes among them provocation of earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes (typhoons), disruption of ecological balance in climatic elements, change in ocean currents, and changes in the state of the ozone layer. “

The Truth Seeker - Did Diego Garcia Suffer Heavy Tsunami Damage?

Now, the paranoid among us would wonder why Colin Powell would state yesterday to a reporter that he ‘had no information concerning Diego Garcia’.

I’m not even going into details about the ‘Ring of Fire’ zone around the Pacific just yet. Let’s look at the Atlantic. From early 2004 New York Daily News:

• Killer wave lying in wait:

“A tsunami triggered by a volcanic eruption on an island off the coast of Africa could result in mountainous waves up to 75 feet high crashing into New York and other East Coast cities, scientists are warning.”

This is referring to the Cumbre Vieja Volcano — Potential collapse and tsunami at La Palma, Canary Islands due to a volcanic eruption and lavaslide into the ocean.

• Freak waves, rogue waves, extreme waves and ocean wave climate explains some of the dynamics of the waves.
• Dangerous Phenomena - a maritime site with nice maps and diagrams:

“An ocean-going vessel almost never notices a tsunami, since its amplitude in the deep ocean is no more than 2 metres. However, when approaching the shallow waters of island or continental coastlines, it sharply decreases its speed, and a deformed, large wall of water as high as 16-20 m and more, contacts the shore. Damage to buildings installations and especially, people can be enormous. In the last 1,000 years, Pacific Ocean tsunamis have been observed and recorded over 1,000 times. All of these were major catastrophic events, since smaller events often go unrecorded. “
