Hi Nancy.

First of all I would like to commend you for supporting EQF. A true friend now days is a rare person indeed.

I know it appears to you and others that EQF is being attacked. I can assure that in my case that is just not true. All I've asked him to do is to present proof of his claims. Is that so much to ask? Is that so unreasonable?

He has repeatedly made statements that he is the only person in the world that has contacts with various governments and/or other organizations that listen to him. This is all well and good, but it still doesn't address the request made to him. That is to prove what you say by doing it before the quake, be it a major quake, or something less occurs. Instead he launches into a meaningless diatribe about the various programs he is working on, or that he doesn't have the time or that it's too complex to explain. He addresses things that weren't asked, or requested, and that is to prove that he can predict an earthquake before it occurs.

By doing so doesn't mean he can't, but by not doing so makes it extremely hard if not impossible for anyone to believe that he can and does. When a person makes an incredible claim, it requires incredible proof that it can be done.

Whenever a person takes the stance of not showing proof of their claim it unfortunately can and does give the impression that the person cannot do what they claim.

In earthquake prediction the only way to prove one can predict a quake is by making a prediction in advance in some place where the reference can be found. This board is the perfect place for listing such
predictions. As he has cited to us many times, he has told us that he has predicted certain quakes, but
to date no validation has been shown.
