SLIDESHOW – Warning: graphic images Haiti devastated by massive earthquake A massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake has struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti. The extent of the devastation is still unclear but there are fears thousands of people may have died. Haiti’s worst quake in two centuries hit south of the capital Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, wrecking the presidential palace, UN HQ and other buildings. A “large number” of UN personnel were reported missing by the organisation. Many people have spent the night outside amid fears of more aftershocks. The Red Cross says up to three million people have been affected. Describing the earthquake as a “catastrophe”, Haiti’s envoy to the US said the cost of the damage could run into billions. A number of nations, including the US, UK and Venezuela, are gearing up to send aid. The quake, which struck about 15km (10 miles) south-west of Port-au-Prince, was quickly followed by two strong aftershocks of 5.9 and 5.5 magnitude. The tremor hit at 1653 (2153 GMT) on Tuesday, the US Geological Survey said.

The US Government orchestrated the 9/11 attacks and got away with it as of June 30, 2010. BUSH walks a FREE MAN after almost 9 years. US Congress, Senate, Supreme Court IGNORE ALL the evidence on the internet about the so-called terror attacks on 9/11. Now they(US Government) can get away with dumping chemicals on the US Citizen, cause hurricanes, weather, earthquakes because they have labeled(because of 9/11) anyone that questions the government conspiracy theorists, crazy, nuts, in need of meds etc.. They are using a weapon against us which is the Main Stream Media. If the TV, NEWSPAPERS, Radios say something to be true then it must be NO MATTER what it is. This is how they have done it to us folks. Todays date they(the media) tell us that a hurricane and an earthquake happening at the same time. It is NOT A COINCIDENCE that the hurricane is going right through where oil is leaking uncontrolled in the Gulf of Mexico. All these things will be blame on God’s wrath, the Sun, Mother Nature ect.. The TRUTH is the Governments are causing the end of the world to come to coincide with what the bible says about the end times. Douglas Bickford
The military stepped up their relief efforts with supplies and aid to battered Chilean communities. As Mark Strassmann reports, water is in very short supply and looting continues.
