and this is purely delirious speculation, and in no way based on anything except my active hate for totalitarian govenments
What if the chinese government, in a severly twisted effort to garner sympathy from the world, and to draw attention away from the brouhaha concerning their opression of Tibet and Tibetans leading up to the Olympics, deliberately exploded a large hydrogen bomb underground, causing the "earthquake" and creating public sympathy? Would this be too horrible? just a delusion. but I would not put anything past a government such as that.

As much as I loathe the Chinese state they seem to be doing more for their people more quickly than the US did after Katrina. I sort of see response by the Burma junta as analogous to that of Bush.
Rob, the way my mind works, I consider this could have been a scalar wave attack by the US/UK that caused the earthquake, to create a deadly and embarassing situation for China before the Olympics, and also create chaos which would allow intelligence operatives to penetrate more deeply into China for whatever reasons they might have. And perhaps that is the right move. |

Firstly, I'd intended to rep you for your use of the word 'brouhaha' but got the usual 'spread more' thing.
Anyway, while I doubt it'd happen, like you, i'm sure the little bastards would do it if they thought they could somehow get away with it. Major disasters invariably garner international sympathy. However they also tend to spotlight faults in the governing regime. Think of New Orleans and the burmese hurricane which, while generating sympathy for the people affected, hardly cast their respective governments in the best of lights and, if anything, weakened their international standing. Still, have to congratulate you once more for the 'brouhaha' use. |

it is all completye supposition of course, but events such as this, like you say, are exactly what benefits undercover operatives. They can travel and infiltrate much easier in times of distress you know?
It must be horrific though. almost 500 MILLION people in China live at subsistence poverty levels, where even the slightest thing can cause widespread deprivation and starvation. Fucking horrible. You know that something along the lines of over 3000 foreign aid workers from bith nation's armies and the red cross/red crescent are stationed in Thailand waiting for fucking travel VISAS from Myanmar before they can enter to help? horrible horrible shit.

Sounds like an underachieving James Bond novel.

what if china had a death-laser stationed on the moon. I'm completely convinced that they would use it on our olympic athletes to cause much humiliation and panic!! once death-lasered, the unsuspecting athletes might then be put into a giant mixer and turned into noodle soup (which will undoubtedly be served with great fanfare during the closing ceremonies). oh ,the horror. the horror. the horror.

the us has been working on satellite technology to actually cause earthquakes for at least two decades now.

I think the very fact that even the most outrageous of ideas have a certain level of conceivability just goes to demonstrate the sheer madness of today's political world landscape. Or maybe it's just that advances in technology have allowed regimes to give a fuller vent to their insanity than was possible in the past. Imagine the shit-storm that would've occured if the Romans had gotten hold of a nuclear bomb, or even worse, the internet!

it would probably be possible to discern between a natural earthquake and a man-made one

I know that entire region is prone to earthquakes, and crazy seismic activity.
but it would make for an interesting thriller novel to write a story about china doing such a thing on purpose no?
