""That loan will be interest-free until 2011, but by the end of next year, Haiti will then start repaying interest on new loans, which some might say is only perpetuating the cycle of debt that this country has struggled to get out from."

" BEIJING, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- China sent an emergency rescue team Wednesday evening to quake-hit Haiti, where several thousands of lives may have been claimed.

Magnitude 7.0 - HAITI REGION from USGS

Read entire article here:

" The location and focal mechanism of the earthquake are consistent with the event having occurred as left-lateral strike slip faulting on the Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden fault system. This fault system accommodates about 7 mm/y, nearly half the overall motion between the Caribbean plate and North America plate.

The Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden fault system has not produced a major earthquake in recent decades. The EPGFZ is the likely source of historical large earthquakes in 1860, 1770, 1761, 1751, 1684, 1673, and 1618, though none of these has been confirmed in the field as associated with this fault."

Note: The page contains lots of great info. I'm not into the HAARP theories - but I'm not in a position to criticize people for being so-called "conspiracy theorists." Regardless there is great information at this webpage to take into consideration from the USGS

Haiti Earthquake

Read entire article here:

" The U.S. Geological Survey is reporting a magnitude 7 earthquake near Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince.

The U.S. places the epicenter 10 miles southwest of the capital. Unfortunately, the earthquake was relatively shallow at about 6.2 miles below the earth's surface. Generally. the shallower the earthquake, the worse the shaking and damage it causes."

Note: 6.2 miles depth reported by USGS - I thought I saw references made by HAARP theorists that this is somehow a magic number. I have not followed the HAARP stuff.

UPDATE Jan 16, 2010Did a Plucked HAARP Hit Haiti? Here is some interesting reading on HAARP. There is a link to the Jesse Ventura "Conspiracy Theory" episode. Who is wiser - one who examines first then judges second, or one who won't look?
