Hi EQF. Seems to me your approach to so called “earthquake politics” is all wrong. If your program works as you say it does then go public with it. If it works then no one can say it doesn’t. This way the so called politics is taken out.

You said you contacted some people here in California about the San Simeon quake, but no one responded. Doesn’t surprise me any. If someone doesn’t have a track record somewhere of making correct predictions it isn’t likely anyone would respond. It’s a creditability thing. It’s a believability thing. Here in California there is protocol to be followed. If it isn’t no one is going to pay any attention to what you, or anyone else has to say. It is done this way so that emergency services are not put on alert 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Every kook in the country would be jumping on the bandwagon. This is the reason it’s a jail sentence in China and Greece for making any predictions without government sanction. To many false ones then when the real comes along no one is going to pay any attention.

You want to get politics out of earthquake prediction. Make them public so the whole world can see them. No politics there. Take Care…Don in creepy town
