    Turkey earthquake flattens homes

    Eastern Turkey was struck by a 6.0-magnitude quake on Monday, killing 51 people.
    Eastern Turkey was struck by a 6.0-magnitude quake on Monday, killing 51 people.

    The quake knocked down stone and mud-brick houses in at least six villages and toppled minarets.

    Most residents in towns near the epicentre were sleeping when the earthquake hit, causing them to run as walls started to crumble.

    Panicked residents fled as rocks and rubble started to hit the streets.

    Aftershocks have since reached up to 5.5 magnitude and are still rattling the region around
    the sparsely populated area of Elazig province.

    The region is 550km east of Ankara.

    The worst-hit village was in Okcular, where 19 of the village's 900 residents were killed when most buildings were totally flattened.

    Local men have been using shovels and their bare hands to dig up bodies from the piles of dirt and rubble from wrecked houses.

    Residents in the village had to light fires overnight to keep them from the winter cold.

    Okcular is in a freezing area surrounded by snow-covered mountains.

    Stop production of barium chemical derivatives, shooting down aerial spraying planes spraying the weather modification chemicals and the chemicals mentioned above, shut down the matrix of microwave emitting towers including VLF emitting towers in every country in the world as well as destroying US satellites will END to the major extent the artificial earthquakes created by the US military. Now that everybody knows about the atmospheric incinerator apparatuses made out of the matrix of microwave and VLF towers deployed in every country in the world, it is not hard to understand that the GLOBAL WARMING issues with the associated CARBON TAX is a SCAM by anglo-american-european bankers to extort money from the world!

    China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, you need to destroy the VLF towers most commonly of white colors everywhere in the cities and in the rural areas as well. Maybe they will repaint the towers to another color or many colors after this leak. Many of these towers located on the roof of buildings have paddles that look like the ones cricket players use to bat. There are also stand-alone towers having these paddles. Bring down also the towers that have vertical cylindrical shapes encompassing the posts. These towers are mind-control towers that are used when your country is in war (they won’t use it until the decisive moment) with the enemy to torment your soldiers and your civilians. There were Iraqi soldiers dropping dead like flies without firing their guns during the Iraq war 8 years ago by these silent weapons. These towers will also be used in the next phase (more advanced method) of psychotronic warfare in conjunction with nano particles to be introduced secretly through industrial food production, vaccinations, and other means such as vitamins and medicines. The pharmaceutical-media(mainly mainstream media)-industrial(including food production) complex of private big businesses in China and all the countries in the world are BRED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FUNDED by these bankers (Masons).

    Shooting down US satellites is the least priority of the 4 but the other top 3 are top priorities.
