Waiting for “The Big One”
Robert Morningstar’s Global Earthquake Watch
Will a Solar Eclipse Trigger Earthquakes Across the Earth?

As some of you may already know, on November 11, 2012, I began a 48 hour Earthquake Watch in anticipation of the imminent total eclipse that is about to occur over the South Pacific.
We all know that “earthquake prediction” is not a “precise science.” Yet, last month, 6 Italian scientists were sentenced to 7 years in jail for failing to notify the Italian public of an impending earthquake that they knew was coming, but could specify the exact date, and so refrained from issuing a warning or public notice.
Although not a “precise science” yet, I would describe the current state of earthquake prediction today as a “general science.”
The recent ruling of criminal negligence by the Italian court, condemning the 6 scientists to prison, sent a clear signal to science and scientists that having specialized (fore)knowledge imparts special responsibilities to publicize that information, however unsettling or frightening it may be, especially if the public is at peril from the lack of timely warning from such information.
Therefore, I wish to share my observation, made over several years, that earthquakes can be triggered on both sides of the Earth by gravitational forces exerted by Sun and Moon upon the oceans and techtonic plates during solar eclipses. These tidal forces, becoming one line of force at totality, can trigger series of powerful earth quakes/sea quakes along unstable fault lines (like the Ring of Fire), before, during and after the solar eclipse.
I believe that during a total eclipse lunar and solar tidal forces converge and sum up , creating extremely powerful gravitational forces that will exert pressure on the oceans, the mantle, the magma and the core of the Earth, passing right through Earth’s center (affecting all matter in between) to the opposite side of the world, influencing tectonic plate movement on both sides of the planet.
Okay, so did the eclipse already happen? If so, where is the BIG quake????????????????????????????
