    Don't upset the oil tycoons. Hope you still have your job by the end of the week.
  • This was such a great video! You brought on an expert, talked about the basics of what happened, referenced the history, and even brought up some of the rumors/theories to get real info. Excellent journalism and media 👍
  • 8:00 …WE ALL KNOW WHO… the same ones that don’t like talk about protecting the Earth’s environment and global warming. Their love of money matters more to them. 🚩💯👀
  • Please Dutch is the one for the last decade who has talked about this. USGS laughed at him for pointing this out for years, yet he has been right. Now all of a sudden there are people coming in late talking about it...please.
  • Fracking. Conversion of deep saltwater wells to shallow saltwater wells used in the oil production in the area. Greed.

    For those quakes to be naturally occurring, wouldn’t you expect there to be a fault line? Is there one connecting those quakes?
  • Matthew 24 is HERE, Prayer, repenting, fasting and living holy is the only thing that can save us. Its not CLIMATE CHANGE, BUT A SINLESS LIFESTYLE CHANGE.
  • YES! The two solar eclipses will effect the seismic acitivyt and the amount of hurricanes that affect Texas this year!
