Over The Last 7 Days Our Planet Has Been Violently Shaken By 144 Major Earthquakes<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

\"\"<\/a>Within the past few days, we have seen an enormous magnitude 7.3 earthquake hit Venezuela and a giant magnitude 8.2 earthquake<\/a> hit Fiji.\u00a0 Where will the next one strike?\u00a0 To many of us, it is becoming exceedingly clear that something very unusual is happening to our planet.\u00a0 I went and looked it up, and I was astounded to learn that the crust of the Earth has been shaken by 144 major earthquakes over the last 7 days, and that includes more than 50<\/a> on Sunday alone.\u00a0 And remember, these are not small earthquakes.\u00a0 The USGS considers any earthquake that is at least magnitude 4.5 to be \u201csignificant\u201d, and they are happening so rapidly right now that it is difficult to keep up with them.<\/ins><\/p>\n

Usually, only earthquakes that cause death and destruction get attention from the mainstream media, and that was definitely the case with the huge quake that hit the northern coast of Venezuela on Tuesday<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

A major earthquake of magnitude 7.3 struck the northern coast of Venezuela on Tuesday and shook buildings as far away as the capital, Caracas, the U.S. Geological Survey said.<\/p>\n

The quake was centered near the town of Carupano, an area of poor fishing communities and was felt as far away as neighboring Colombia to the east and nearby island nations like Trinidad and Tobago, and St. Lucia, to the west and north.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is certainly the last thing that the people of Venezuela need at the moment.\u00a0 Their currency was just devalued again, and at this point it is so worthless that people are literally throwing it into dumpsters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to media reports, the quake lasted for approximately two minutes, and it really shook people up.\u00a0 The following comes from Reuters<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n
