physics. consider these points:

1. before we started screwing with the water systems on our planet, the earth was more or less balanced (at least more so than it is now)
2. When we displace water from the aquifer, build dams, displace oil (think about the volume and mass of the oil that was moved in the gulf disaster) we create patches of what are essentially light and heavier areas on the earth.
3. The moon's gravitational force used to have a balancing effect on the earths rotation, without the moon the earth (already slightly out of balance) would cease to rotate in the 23.5degree pattern that we have become used to.
4. Consider a basketball spinning on top of someone's finger. If i place pieces of gum around the ball at random points and shell out others, it will be impossible to keep the basketball balanced, the ball would start wobbling (like how we experience seasons) and it would fall
5. the earths core wants to rotate in 'predictable' pattern, when we start knocking the earth off balance it'll cause friction, because while the crust is wobbling the core will remain rotating in it's consistent pattern.

Conclusion: we have knocked the earth off of balance, the friction that is beginning to form between the core and the crust is going to cause earthquakes, tsunami's, whatever, hopefully, the moons gravitational influence on earth will remain strong enough to prevent the earth from gaining a bigger and bigger 'wobble' each year. If the earth does gain a bigger and bigger wobble, well, that's pretty much the end of us; seasons would be insane, earthquakes, probably volcanos. and if anything could fulfill Hapgood's pole-shift theory; its lack of balance.

The powers that be are causing the earthquakes to intentionally shift the magnetic poles.

Currently they have the technology for anti gravity etc but the anti gravity crafts do not work as they are supposed to while in flight close to the earth.

The only way to correct the problem is to shift the poles into a pre planned position and soon afterwards they will have total control over the world and all its countries through full control of global air space.

You know this how exactly?

Those are pretty sensational claims...

Thankyou, I couldn't let that slip. It's just under 4 inches.

It seems that if this has occured it is such a minute move it doesn't really register, same with the Chile quake.
As a backyard astronomer neither event caused any noticeable change to equiptment that relies heavily on accurate polar alignments, no adjustments had to be made. Sure I'm only a novice but I can tell you the serious astrophoto guys would be screaming all about it if it caused any major changes.
I'm not saying there was no movement, just it is very minute and a seemingly familiar occurance after big quakes.

The effect of even a minor shift in the physical axis of the Earth will mean that sunlight will reach the earth ever so slightly differently, and that will have a big effect on weather patterns over time and possible climatic implications.

BTW, in the book of Revelation in the Bible it talks about the length of a day changing.

Here's the scripture I was referring to. It talks about a third of the day and the night.


From the book of Revelation (Bible)

Rev 8:12 When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, one-third of the sun, one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars were struck so that one-third of them turned dark. One-third of the day was kept from shining, and also the night

A single major Earthquake can shift the earth on it's axis, but Pole Shift theories from the likes of Charles Hapgood are total bunk because....

Ok that may be well and good. I have to say though I have seen this information flash on the screen while watching CNN.

We will expect you here apologizing for spreading false information and fear-mongering to get attention when this fails to happen. See you here then?

Is it 4 inches or 10 inches? I read 4 inches this morning but
Fox News just clearly said the earth shifted 10 inches.

Maybe the poles shifted first and caused the earthquake..

Just putting it out there...

This is the kind of stuff that makes people laugh whenever they hear pole shift. In order for a magnetic reversal -- which is the Hapgood Pole Shift Theory -- the entire Earth has to stop rotating and begin again in the other direction. Hence the whole north-south reversal part.

There is no way for a pole shift to take place without anyone knowing. It would probably destroy 80 - 90 % of the population.
