Massive Outgassing Being Reported In United States As North American
Plate Continues Fracturing, Tens of Thousands of Micro-Quakes Being
Reported In New Madrid Fault Zone

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Russian Subscribers

Russian Scientists are reporting today that the fracturing of the North
American Continent is continuing unabated, and has now reached the point
where trapped methane pockets deep within the this tectonic plate are
outgassing in various areas of the United States and Canada, and as we
can read from just a few of the hundreds of reports we've received
within the past 24 hours:

As reported by the Associated Press News Service in their article titled
"Lake Erie burps and nearby residents smell it" and which says, "State
and federal environmental officials are trying to determine the cause of
a big stink reported along Lake Erie. Hundreds of residents called
authorities or the National Weather Service yesterday to report the
smell, which has been variously described as like gasoline, natural gas
or even decaying garbage and rotten eggs. The smell was strongest
yesterday morning when a cold front swept through the area, churning up
larger than normal waves from Erie to Dunkirk, N.Y., officials said."

As reported by the Washington Post News Service in their article titled
"Mysterious Stench Nauseates Northeast" and which says, "Olive Taylor
first noticed the odor Tuesday night outside her Northeast Washington
home. By yesterday morning, the smell had turned into a stench so bad
that it woke her up. "It was so unlike anything that should have been in
my home," said Taylor, 71. "It wasn't really a gas smell. My son said it
was a propane smell, but a neighbor said it didn't smell like propane.
Maybe it was kind of gassy. It was in fact giving me a headache. "Scores
of people in the District called authorities yesterday to complain that
a similar odor was invading homes, businesses, a dozen schools and two
police stations."

As reported by the Thunder Bay Television News Service in their article
titled "Strange smell in Longlac" and which says, "Municipal officials
are urging Longlac residents to exercise caution as they investigate
reports of 'gasoline-type' odours in the towns sewer system. The problem
first cropped up about ten days ago in a variety of homes and
businesses...and is reportedly most noticeable in basement areas. The
Municipality of Greenstone says it still doesn't know if the smell is
from sewer gases, natural gas or an industrial solvent. But its called
in both the Ministry of Environment and the District Health Unit to try
and track down the problem."

Methane used for industrial purposes, or that which is present in mining
operations is almost always odorless, but methane from tectonic plate
fracturing is accompanied by odors from decomposing organic materials
and whose main outlet into the earths atmosphere is primarily through
outgassing through mud volcanoes.

One of the top research scientist concerned with methane is the American
Dr. Thomas Gold of Cornell University, and whose theories much of the
world's science in this area is now based upon, and as we can read from
this 1978 report by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska
Fairbanks titled "Goldian Methane" and which says:

"Natural gas is mostly methane, normally more than 80%. Composed of one
carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms, methane is the simplest of the
hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbon compounds that form the world's oil and
gas reserves have long been thought to form from decomposition of
vegetable material many millions of years ago, and thereby to be in
limited supply.

But now a bold new idea is circulating about the source of methane. Dr.
Thomas Gold of Cornell University suggests that a vast store of methane
was trapped deep within the earth when the planet was formed. Under high
pressure from the weight of overlying rocks composing the solid outer
part of the earth, Gold's methane, according to his suggestions, is
trying to move upward and to seep out of the earth, a process called
outgassing. Gold's idea has major implications about the world's
available fuel reserves. If he is right, new exploration and deeper
drilling methods can yield a huge supply of energy that might last a
million years at the current usage rate. The idea has special interest
for Alaska and the Canadian Arctic, too, since the upward migration of
methane can be stopped by permafrost. Alaska's frozen North Slope and
other Arctic regions with extensive permafrost may be major methane
traps

Professor Gold's heretic concept also involves new thoughts on how
tsunamis, earthquakes and earthquake lights are generated. His new ideas
may be right or they may be wrong. Like many other highly respected and
innovative scientists, Gold has been wrong before: years ago he
predicted that when the first lunar landings were made the spacecraft
would sink out of sight in a deep layer of dust. If he is right this
time, future historians will probably acclaim him as a scientific hero
of our times."

But as we have all too often seen in the West, the theories put forth by
Dr. Gold have been met with increasing scorn in his own country, but to
Russia his theories have proved invaluable, even to the point that
Russia is now one of the world's largest oil producers and the
predictive value of major earthquakes has reached 70%, and as we had
previously reported upon:

In our August 18th report titled "Russian Forces Prepare For Massive
Earthquakes as Gulf of Mexico Becomes 'Zone of Death' and New Madrid
Fault Zone Heads Towards Cataclysmic Event" we had stated:

"For the Russia's President Putin has ordered all Emergency Services to
begin preparations for these events, and as we can read as reported by
RIA Novosti News Service in their article titled "Powerful earthquake
could strike Kamchatka" and which says, "The Russian Emergency
Situations Ministry is deploying additional units and equipment as a
preventive measure against a powerful earthquake expected on Kamchatka,
a peninsula in the northeast of Russia, a senior ministry official said
Wednesday.

Lieutenant General Viktor Kapkanshchikov, head of the ministry's
regional center, said 30 rescue workers had been temporarily transferred
here until December during the heightened earthquake alert, in the wake
of seismologists' warning that a magnitude 7.2 quake could rock the
region between now and December. According to the official, additional
equipment, instruments and medical supplies will be delivered at the end
of August and a mobile hospital from the Rescue Center will be airlifted
in early September. Regional ministry branches are ready to deal with a
possible emergency, Kapkanshchikov said. The employees are taking
preventive measures to ensure fewer losses and less damage if an
earthquake is to strike the region.

Exercises to check the readiness of all Emergency Situations Ministry
units are scheduled for September 7-9 on Kamchatka and will be
supervised by minister Sergei Shoigu. A report from the International
Institute of Earthquake Prediction Theory and Mathematical Geophysics
predicted the region, including Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands, has a
70% chance of being hit by a quake until December 2005."

To the value of these predictive reports we reported on in our September
28th report titled "Russian Forces Prepare For Massive Earthquakes as
Gulf of Mexico Becomes 'Zone of Death' and New Madrid Fault Zone Heads
Towards Cataclysmic Event", and wherein we had stated:

"What Russian Scientists are calling a 'precursor event' to an expected
Major Earthquake in the Far East has occurred today with the reporting
of a 6.5 Magnitude Earthquake occurring in the Kuril Island Region, and
as we can read as reported by China's Xinhua News Agency in their
article titled "Earthquake rocks Kuril Islands, Russia" and which says:

"An earthquake measuring 6.5 points on the Richter scale struck the
Kuril Islands in the Far East of Russia on Thursday, but there were no
immediate reports of casualties and damage, the Interfax news agency
said. The earthquake occurred 175 km southeast of the town of
Severo-Kurilsk on the Kuril Islands at around 1:17 p.m. Moscow time
(0917GMT) on Thursday, Viktor Beltsov from the press service of the
Russian Emergency Situations Ministry was quoted as saying. According to
Beltsov, the earthquake wave in Severo-Kurilsk reached four points on
the Richter scale. No casualties or damage have been reported yet.
Meanwhile, the Russian ministry predicted a major earthquake inthe Far
Eastern peninsula of Kamchatka for the end of this year."

So concerned have some of the lower levels of the United States
Government become, due to the continuing series of micro-quakes
occurring in the New Madrid Fault Zone Region, that they are now calling
for massive preparations to take place, and as we can read as reported
by the Associated Press News Service in their article titled
"Congresswoman Emerson Calling for Quake Exercise in New Madrid Fault
Zone" and which says:

"Earthquake experts agree it's a matter of time when, not if, another
major quake strikes along the New Madrid Seismic Zone. In the wake of
hurricanes Katrina and Rita, two members of Congress say it's time to
get ready. U.S. Representative Jo Ann Emerson and Senator Jim Talent,
both Republicans from Missouri, today asked Homeland Security Director
Michael Chertoff to organize an emergency response drill in anticipation
of a potential earthquake that could devastate a region from Memphis,
Tennessee, to St. Louis."

But to the American Scientific Institutions warning their people about
the catastrophic events soon to overtake them it is perhaps best to read
from Dr. Thomas Gold himself on how these scientists think, and as we
can read as he has reported in his article titled "New Ideas in Science"
and which says:

"Staying with the herd to many people also has an advantage that they
would not run the risk of exposing their ignorance. If one departs from
the herd, then one will be asked, one will be charged to explain why one
has departed from the herd. One has to be able to offer the detailed
justifications, and one's understanding of the subject will be
criticized. If one stays with the herd, then mostly there is no such
charge. "Yes, I believe that because doesn't everybody else believe
that?" That is enough justification. It isn't to me, but it is to very
many other people. The sheep in the interior of the herd are well
protected from the bite in the ankle by the sheep dog.

It is this tendency for herd behavior that is greatly aggravated by the
support structure of science in which we believe nowadays. I will read
out just one passage here to show that other people than myself have
recognized the herd problems: David Michland writes in the REVIEWS OF
ASTRONOMY:

I sometimes wonder if the much encouraged and proclaimed interaction
among western astronomers leads to a form of mental herd behavior which,
if it does not actually put a clamp upon free thinking, insidiously
applies the pressure to follow the fashion. This makes the writings of
our Soviet colleagues who have partly developed ideas in comparative
isolation all the more valuable."

And the American people too, like their scientists, no longer except, in
fact they disdain and ridicule, those scientists, and scientific
theories that do not 'fit in' with their 'herd mentality'. But with
this particular 'herd' we see evidenced in the United States today, they
can be likened more to sheep than to human beings, as they no longer are
able to think for themselves but have to be told what to do by their
'shepards'.

But not to greener pastures are these once great people being led, but
to their total destruction and to which very few of them are able to
fully see, because in seeing they would have to believe, and in
believing all that they had thought they new would perish immediately.
