The U.S. Geological Survey confirmed to CNBC that Oklahoma is seeing a massive increase in magnitude 3.0 or greater earthquakes over the last 7 years to the level that the state sees 2 quakes a day.
“We have a good record going all the way back to the 1970s of magnitude 3 or larger earthquakes. They increased throughout the central U.S. in 2009, but primarily in just a few states like southern Colorado, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma,” says Bill Leith, senior science adviser for Earthquake and Geologic Hazards at USGS, told CNBC. “Oklahoma is the most striking case, where the number of earthquakes is now at record levels.”
The USGS said that from 2008 through April 8th, 2015, a total of 1,063 earthquakes of 3.0 magnitude or greater were officially recorded in Oklahoma. This year there has been a total of 210 compared to just 91 over the same time in 2014.
Critics of the drilling process called fracking blame the quakes on the fracking process but quakes have been on the rise in Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado and Ohio according to the USGS which seems to counter the claims the Oklahoma quakes are related solely to fracking.
The quakes are causing another concern for the oil and gas industry above the people critical of the fracking process; storage of oil above ground. Cushing, Oklahoma is the major hub of oil pipelines in America and over $3 billion in crude oil is stored above ground in that area. A major quake that ruptures a tank could cause millions in damage to supplies and surrounding lands.

Today I am calling on you for prayer. As you know, I try very hard to stay out of the political arena and use my energies in teaching the book of Revelation and in fulfilling what God has asked of me. The Lord spoke to me years ago, telling me that Lori and I would help create a place where the Prophets of these days would have a voice. With God’s amazing blessings, our show has brought to us the most remarkable people of God that have been revealing the truth about these End times, layer by layer. Continue reading →

Anti-Semitic vandals desecrated a Jewish cemetery near the site of “Bloody Wednesday” where Jewish men were gathered in the town square of Olkusz, Poland and beaten in 1940.
The vandals painted pentagrams on the tombstones they knocked over and destroyed. They also painted the Polish name of Pope John Paul II on some stones.
“Bloody Wednesday” took place in Olkusz on July 31, 1940. Soldiers went through the town gathering the Jewish men to bring to the town’s square. The men were then severely beaten by the soldiers and residents of the town.
One of the most offensive moments was captured in photographs of the incident when Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak Hagerman is forced to stand barefoot standing over six Jewish men who were forced to lay on the ground in front of Nazi troops. Hagerman was forced to wear a prayer shawl that the soldiers had urinated upon moments earlier.
Hagerman was killed in Majdanek in 1942. The rest of the town’s Jews were shipped to Auschwitz in 1942 where most were killed.
