"Missing" California Earthquakes

June 2, 2007
Holly Deyo

No less than seven earthquake events were mysteriously removed by USGS on Thursday. Another seven events were revised downward. All events just happened to take place in California. That's an awful lot of "mistakes".

If the quakes had all occurred in relatively the same place, it might be attributable to a faulty monitor. However, these EQ events transpired throughout the state.

Coincidentally, a magnitude 4.2 shaker struck Southern California yesterday.

Keep in mind that the Bush administration is requiring scientists' papers to be vetted before release to the public — information that would keep the public informed about events that can greatly affect our well-being. In accordance with this policy, there is a general "pushing downing" and silencing of information regarding natural disasters and climate change.

It is NOT better to be kept in the dark; it only leaves people vulnerable and unprepared.

The magnitudes are in bold for your convenience.
