The real cause of the Unprecedented Earthquake which scared, for the 1st time in History, U.S.A.'s Military and Political Headquarters, throwing Thousands of Office Workers out of Pentagon, White House or even New York buildings, may have been provoked by underground Oil-/Gas exploration at a nearby Appalachian Mountains' area, where Huge Energy findings were anounced almost at the same time, probably using a method of Water injected in Geological Faults, similar to that which is suspected to have led to the 1999 Deadly Quake in Turkey, killing some 15.000 Poor People hindered to have expensive Solid Homes,  notoriously exploited by a Mass Media Propaganda in order to prepare EU Citizens to Turkish State's controversial and unpopular EU bid.

The Director of Strasbourg-based World famous Earth Science Institute, Seismologist Expert Professor Michel Granet, speaking earlier to "EuroFora", confirmed that Water penetrating in underground Faults (as it's sometimes used in certain Geological operations related to Energy), can, indeed, provoke Earthquakes, as it was, f.ex. recently seen in an installation for Geothermy in Mulhouse, close to Strasbourg, at the borders of Switzerland. Another previously reported similar incident was a Water leakage from a Colorado Dam which had reportedly provoked a local Quake as early as back in the 1970ies.

The 2011 U.S. headquarters' Quake scare, scoring more than 5,8 Richter in an area which had never before been hit by such Hazards, was reported as originating mainly in Virginia, and was strongly felt in Washington D.C., with visible effects even at New York and other North-Eastern American Cities, (See relevant MAP). It is an extremely Rare Event in that area, since the latest Earthquake of such a magnitude (5,8) reportedly occured there only ...more than 1 Century ago, back on 1897 !

The same day, (August 23), US Geological Suvey (of the US Department of Interior) anounced foundings of more than 87 Trillion cubic feet of "undiscovered, technically recoverable ..Gas" at the "Marcellus Shale, in the Appalachian Basin", according to a new, 2011 assessment, (compared to only ..2 Trillions previously estimated in a past, 2002 study), in an area close to the Earthquake epicenter (See relevant MAP).

Both events were officially anounced at the same day (August 23), starting with the Gas findings "in the Appalachian Basin" at the Morning, and continuing, afterwards during the afternoon, with news on the Earthquake, which "occurred near Louisa and Mineral, Va., approximately 100 miles southwest of Washington, DC", with "Shaking ...recorded all along the Appalachians", according to USGS. (See PHOTOCOPIES).

Among the various techniques using underground Water injections to reach and liberate Gas deposits by fragmenting overlying rocks, "Hydro-Fracking" is reportedly used in almost 90% of similar cases recently in the US, including in Virginia, despite several environmental "dangers".

Back on August 1999, the huge, exceptional Earthquake which stroke at Izmit, near Istanbul, for the 1st time after more than a Century, killing with an astonishing "Selectivity" (observed by Brittish mainstream Media such as BBC, etc), more than 15.000 Poor People in shaky, unstable Houses, while surprisingly keeping intact and unaffected, even at the same area, many other, richer Houses with more Solid Building Materials, Foundations, Architecture, etc, an event exploited by the Turkish Establishment in order to push in the European Public Opinion Ankara's controversial and unpopular EU bid, was apparently provoked by an under-water Deep Drilling Ship which had entered Marmara Sea shortly before the Quake in search of Oil/Gas deposits under the bottom of the Sea , (less than a Month after an important International Geologic Symposium in the UK dedicated to various methods of .. Earthquake predictions !)... SeaWater penetrating from Marmara Sea inside the notoriously fragile Anatolia Seismic Fault-line which crosses North and South Turkish Coasts, could have provoked that selectively Deadly 1999 Earthquake, (which, by another "coincidence", destroyed also Turkey's declining Izmit's old Industrial sector, that OECD had just condemned as unproductive and unstastainable, in a "hot" Report published a Month before the Quake, which was also followed by a strange "Suicide" of the then Turkish Minister of Economy, found dead after his body was thrown over the window of his office's building)... Since then , the Turkish Economy, after facing 2 grave Financial Crises, is notoriously sustained thanks to regular EU Taxpayers' Money (more than 800 Millions each year) given as annual Grants on the pretext of Turkey's controversial and unpopular EU bid until now.


However, at the present 2011 incident, at first sight, it seems difficult to find  any, eventually important coincidence with other events linked to exceptional political or economic big stakes, (except, perhaps, of the Fact that this unprecedented Wash. D.C. Earthquake scare apparentlly coincided with so ..different exceptional events, that same Day, as, f.ex. the liberation of colonel Gaddafi's compounds by CNT Rebels at the Libyan capital Tripoli, and/or the N.Y. Attorney's decision to drop all charges against former IMF Chief DSK for alleged assault and rape of a poor black immigrant woman from Africa living with her daughter at Bronx who worked as cleaning maid in an expensive NY Hotel)...

 Meanwhle, "often, Earthquakes are followed by tsunamis or tidal waves", other US observers noted. Currently, "the southeastern seaboard regions of the U.S., including Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida, are already under watch for Hurricane Irene", whose "northern cone reaches up to Virginia".

Former "Green-Red" German government's Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer's job at the controversial Turkish pipeline "Nabucco" was denounced as "not proper", "very bad", and "incompatible with Democracy", by the new President of EU Parliament's EuroLeft Group, German Lothar Bisky, replying to an "EuroFora" question.

For once, criticism of Joschka Fischer's doings with Turkey affecting Europe, didn't come only from the Center-Right of the political spectrum, but even from his Left side : The experienced Bisky, who has been chairing all over 1993-2009 the PDS - Die Linke party :  

- "Former Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer got involved in dealings with oil-gaz business in a foreign country, Turkey, and its controversial Nabucco pipeline. This raises questions about Democracy, also because of the well known problems of Human Rights violations in that country. Do you thing that this might be abused in order to cover up and close EU's eyes on Human Rights violations ?", "EuroFora" asked Bisky.

- "Nabucco pipeline is (only) at the planning stage". And "there are some difficulties",  he observed from the start. But "'I don't want to get into the details of Nabucco pipeline, because I don't think that there is any point for it at the moment".
 
At any case,  "we  (EU Parliament's EuroLeft Group) strongly believe that Politicians should not get involved in the Energy Business, and all these commercial transactions", President Bisky declared on the Joschka Fiischer's affair.

- "We feel that it's something that shouldn't be done. It's not proper !"           

- "We don't think that it's compatible with Democracy either, and it gets politics into a very Bad track", Bisky went on to denounce.
                                                                                                                                                                        
- "EuroLeft  and "Die Linke" always spoke against that, saying that politicians should not get directly into the arms of private enterprises"

- "It is pretty bad if a former Minister takes a job f.ex. in a major Energy producer. So, it's an issue if a Minister who may have seen excellent opportunities, subsequently gets personally grasp of them, in very serious parts of the economy, once he has given up his (Government) job."

- "It doesn't really make politics in general look any better'", Bisky concluded.

Earlier, this week in Strasbourg, other Journalists had also raised critical questions on former Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer's involvement in the conroversial Turkish Nabucco pipeline to the President of his own EuroParty : Kohn-Bendit of the "Greens", who, contrary to Bisky, tried to find excuses for Fischer, while criticizing his long-time partner, Schroeder for having done a similar move :

- "Shroeder was chancellor", and he "negociated" with "Russians", who gave him a job only "3 Months" after he resigned from the Government. While "Joschka Fischer", on the contrary, got a job with the controversial Turkish Nabucco pipeline only "4 Years after" he left the Government. "He didn't negociate Nabucco", so I have "no objection", Kohn Bendit claimed.

But, many Facts indicate the contrary :

Joschka Fischer was Foreign Minister in Germany from 1999 up to 2005 : I.e. from the year that EU took the controversial decision to give Turkey a "Candidate" status, until he year it started controversial "accession negotiations, (later declared "open-ended" after Sarkozy-Merkel's arrival from 2005-2007).

During that period was prepared the controversial so-called "Annan" Plan (in fact, drafted by others and attributed afterwards to the former UN SG) on Cyprus, which failed after a Popular Referendum said "No" on 2004 with a large Majoriy of 3/4 : 75%. Mainly because it was criticized for making too much concessions to the Turkish side :  Particularly by restricting Greek Cypriot Refugees' Human Right to return to their ancestral Land and/or get restitution of their Familiy Homes and private properties, usurpated by Ankara's Army since the 1974 militay invasion and continuing occupation of the northern part of Cyprus. And by weakening the Central Government, leaving to 2 "constituent States" so much powers and separate interests that more conflicts appeared inevitable, provoking the danger of a break-down in the foreseable future, with more crisis, troubles, perhaps bloodshed, etc., instead of creating an harmoniously integrated, really one federal State.

The controversial Plan was finalized on March-April 2004 at Burgenstock (Switzerland), curiously in the presence of an Envoy by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany, then governed by Joschka Fischer, but in the absence of a French and not even an European Union's Envoy, contrary to what was usually practiced on similar occasions in Switzerland (fex. in 1997 at Montreux, in 2000 at Geneva, etc).

Turkey notoriously exploited the failure of the "Annan" Plan in order to convince the EU to decide to start accession Negotiations on December 2004. This provoked an unprecedented series of Institutional Crisis inside the EU, shortly afterwards, when French and Dutch People rejected, 2 popular EuroReferenda by a majority "'No" vote to the EU Constitutional Treaty on 2005, aggraveted in 2004 a Majority Abstention to EU Elections, etc., followed by the recent Irish "No", etc.

"Nabucco" Gas pipeline was notoriously planned since ..2002. It follows an even earlier idea, for an Oil pipeline Baku-Ceyhun, which started to be prepared on 1999-2001 and was meanwhile recently completed.  

So, facts indicate that what is now at stake is based on decisions made during Joschka Fischer's term as former Foreign Minister, closely interested in Turkey's controversial EU-bid.

To the point that he now practically ...switched jobs with a poliician from Turkey, (the State which pays today openly Joschka Fischer), Mr. Ozdemir, who came earlier in Germany, got fast the nationality, and became EiuroMP in a few years, continuing now as head of the "Greens" in Germany, i.e. in Joschka's former job !...

Such astonishing facts risk, unfotunately, to give to German politician Lothar Bisky's criticism of  representative Democracy a topical meaning :

 - "We (EuroLeft Group) think that what is really at stake is Democracy. It's not only about Gas Pipelines or Energy sources", President Lothar Bisky went on to add in his reply to "EuroFora"'s question on Joscka Fischer's personal interests in the controversial Turkish "Nabuco" pipeline.

Such facts, "make People get more distance from Politics. ...People had had enough, and they are fed up !".

- "That's why we (EuroParliament's "EuroLeft" Group) want to strengthen Direct Democracy in Europe. Citizens should be involved in the (EU) Decision-making. In the end of the day, it's not going to help anyone if Politicians are always taking decisions, without involving Citizens. We want to give a voice to the People of Europe. They've got to have their say in the decisions that are taken. That's one of our absolutely fixed and steadfast views. We want more Direct Democracy in Europe. That's how it can become more effective and stronger", he concluded.
