    When I see a tragedy like this it rips my heart out for these people. When Chris Matthews sees it….he thinks about Obama’s birth certificate….Really??

    Matthews you are a jackbutt!!

    “I’m sorry, but NOBODY was 24 hours ahead of this story. Nobody was 24 seconds ‘ahead’ of this story. Alex Jones is probably a nice guy but makes his living masquerading as a journalist consistently arriving 24 hours AFTER every story and then, offering titillating conspiracy theories which are usually easily debunked. He just proves you don’t really need much of an audience to buy into your crap to fleece your way into a living.”

    I feel the same way about Alex and his website. I have gone to his site a dozen times. There is always a story about Glenn stealing his work, or trashing Glenn. I know Glenn has stated that he has a lot of researchers, which have access to the same information Alex does. I mean I don’t understand does Alex own this information?! How can Glenn steal something that does’nt belong to you Alex? It is sad because it seems they are on the same side, imagine if the joined forces for good.

    Too bad for Japan, it must be horrendous. Maybe they are being punished for all the brutality and mistreatment they place on our POWs in WWII. THey were never really held accountable enough. Beheadngs, daily beatings, starvation and outright murder. America is so quick to sweep it all under the rug. A pity…
    Still, I do feel sorry for the chidren they may have suffered when this terrible earthquake hit.

      What about the Indonesian tsunami of 2004? Chile 2010? Haiti? Apparently they must have all been punished as well I suppose.

      NH, it too bad people like you aren‘t swept under the so called ’rug’ as you put it.
      This had nothing to do with ‘being punished. You should be so ashamed.

    When I see the devastation caused by earthquakes and tsunamis and other disasters, I can only imagine what the Great Tribulation will be like. I am so grateful that Jesus is going to pull me out of the world before that happens.

    I sometimes think about the awesome power of nature and how it’s changed the landscape of the earth over time. Where there once was a plush region is now a desert. Islands forming in the ocean and then disappearing again. Mudslides, volcanoes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, and the list goes on. There is no possible way humans could ever stop the course of nature, the will of God. My heart aches for Japan.

      Was thinking about the empty car thing too. Wonder if they should invent some kind of lever to make it possible to quickly escape in case your car is in a flood, or accident. The water pressure is tricky, difficulty opening the door. Also opening a window could be worse. Wonder if there’s a solution.

      In one clip I did see a van with someone slumped over at the wheel as it was pushed by the water. Also, a trucker in a 4-ton rig said he saw small cars get washed around him. Just so much heartache and pain. Horrible. I sit here and watch this stuff and feel the sobs welling up. I feel blessed that I can sit here in my home – safe, while their world crumbles. Disasters can happen anywhere, anytime. Someday a tornado might swoop down and end it all. I hope I am prepared to meet the Lord when that happens.

      In theory yes, there is a similar subduction zone in the Puerto Rico trench, the deepest part of the Atlantic. These cycles are as old as Earth itself. It’s easy to be grateful for the moments of paradise we do get to experience.

    And we still have not seen video from the worst hit area’s yet, herd a short wave broadcast station from China saying there were some entire towns that were wiped away by the water, hate to say it but the death toll from this is going to be a big number.
    Just watching the TV, saw huge ships miles inland, train cars miles from the railroad tracks, quite a mess, hope them all the best..

    Don’t understand what they are saying, but it’s clear they are pleading “no” to the higher powers that be as they watch the horror and imagine what people outside are experiencing. No Hollywood movie even comes close to this human factor, and yet, as a human it probably feels more like a movie. Life is so strange.

    Unbelievable footage, it must’ve been a complete shock to all of those in the Airport terminal, and yet, it was by them being there, that their lives may have been spared.
    Apparently there‘a hole in the earth’s crust where the crust was ripped away by the force of the earthquake, that is 150 miles long by about 50 to 75 miles wide. This strikes me as more serious than anything else, for example if the heat of the earth vents itself, it could quite likely erupt into a major volcano, coming up from and ripping right through that opened hole of 150miles x70miles, and if that should happen and take place, the entire country could be blown apart along with all of their nuclear power stations, and it would be likened to a real hell hole on earth, affecting every country on the Pacific Ocean with calamitous consequence. Hopefully nothing will come from it, but just a water seeks its level, the crust being gone, maybe the magma will try and find its own too.
    Are there any scientists out there, that can describe this likelihood, if it should ever occur. This deserves some attention as well from America‘s and Japan’s top scientists.
