From Point A - Hearing about evil shadow empire prime number loving dootyheads getting involved in the earthquake market, to Point B - Deciding to type about it, there was a glimmer of acknowledgment of the true nature of quakes. But, not close enough.
It was predicted that we would get a lovely earthquake on December 6th. Not necessarily the really bad kind. You know, the kind that are caused by giant prehistoric worms that you have to pray that Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward aren't busy so they can save the day. (Or Kyle Maclachlan if you're off planet. Just thought I'd through that in to SPICE things up.) And not necessarily a knock a bunch of buildings down, allegedly pretend to kill and injure a bunch of people and call the bad crisis actor hotline for photo shoots kind. But at least a good detectable shake.
The admission, Hubbard's video, he says, "Yeah I know we get earthquakes every day." Then proceeds to make a big deal about a 5.5 quake as the proof that his prediction came true. And get this: HE DOESN'T SAY A THING ABOUT THE GIANT WORMS!
Good for you. Yes, we get earthquakes every day. 5.5 is pretty good. Duly noted that there's a standard set for what I have to work with here. And then he ruined it by throwing in a 4.2 quake in a separate blog post.
There's a pretty big difference between 4.2 and 5.5 on the Richter scale. I won't go into the details, because I get the chance to create my own scale. Which I will probably refer to a lot, at least until Einstein's estate tells me to knock it the fuck off.
The Richter scale is logarithmic, not linear. So, point 1 to point 2 isn't just a difference of one. It's 1 x a constant. Point 2 to point 3 is the same. Linear would lead you to 2 twice as strong as one, P3 being 3x point 1. But through in that constant and its more like compound interest. It's EMCS. E = MC Squared. Or in this case the Evil Masonic Calculation Scale. My acronym team is happy, that's worth at least the weekend off.
So the EMCS works like this in the same fashion as the Richter scale.
Point 1, The terrorists name gematria is 142 in simple, the same value as TERRORIST. Point 2 is twice as bad. The bastards hid his name in one of the complementary elisions, like Satanic. But point 3 isn't just 3 x as bad as point 1. It's 2 x as bad as point 2 on the scale. When the vile pedophile cult masterminds a prime number into the mockery or ritual, now point 3 is 2x2=4 times as blood curdling evil as point 1.
Now that I simplified the math and got the obligatory ridicule out of the way, back to the original story of earthquakes.
The US Geological Survey estimates that millions of earthquakes occur annually. Most are so inconsequential they don't bother with them. The Ring Of Fire where majority of quakes occur is in the Pacific Ocean. Then add a bunch more for uninhabited land areas. Just tiny little shakes undetectable without finely tuned scientific equipment. (The same kind of equipment that shows that Wollongong will have different GPS coordinates in the future. Remember, Australia. Double pay here. Gotta be able to afford giving my acronym team the weekend off.)
Well, you couldn't just leave it alone with the 5.5 quake. My research showed that a quake of that magnitude can be expected anywhere from once every three days to every day, depending on who you talk to. I find that to be pretty unremarkable as far as predicting an earthquake goes on any given day. A 4.2 quake is really not that big a deal. The 5.5 mark on the Richter scale is in the neighborhood of damaging poorly constructed buildings in third world countries. You don't build a city on top of a major fault line. Or a huge colony of underground prehistoric worms. If you want to build a new skyscraper in San Francisco they have these annoying "code" standards so you can't complain when your building falls over.
Now let's see what earthquaketrack.com says about our 4.2 quake friends. Keep in mind, once you get below 4.0 the quakes are so "meh" that they aren't worth any attention. They color code everything, so when they report quake magnitudes it's easy to identify everything in the range of 4.0 to 4.9, and higher. When I started preparing this yesterday at 1:30 pm EST there were 18 4.0+ quakes in the previous 24 hours. This morning 17, including one a lot bigger than the 5.5 from the day before.
Wait for it.

Because nothing says extraordinary like making a big deal out of something that happens over a dozen times a day.
So our friends couldn't ratchet things up higher on the EMCS chart. I'm not greedy, I don't expect an 8.8 on the Richter for a MAJOR EARTHQUAKE = 88 reverse reduced. I'd settle for the 7.4 quake matching MAJOR EARTHQUAKE = 74 in KV exception. But Hubbard is sticking with EARTHQUAKE = 55 as the best they could do, suggesting that it might have been a different magnitude, but just reported as 5.5 since EARTHQUAKE = 55. Come on masons, that's only like 1000 or so more trained prehistoric worms.
Update: After adding on another large quake there are three in the last 24 hours over 6.0 magnitude. Largest 6.5. These are all smaller than the largest Australian earthquake of 6.9 on Flinders Island, Tasmania. Which also had the second largest Aussie quake at 6.8. Note: Don't visit Flinders Island. Or at least bring Fred Ward, Kevin Bacon or Kyle Maclachlan. Or lots of apples.
