Joao Galamba, Member of Parliament, PS, told CNBC, "Portugal is a poster child for these current policies, they are on track with the current program, they were implementing everything they were asked to do, they are actually going beyond what the ECB and IMF European Commission asked and because of that the Portuguese economy is in collapse."

Japan is getting pounded with quakes

Reports of a censored earthquake came to me today -- from a few different viewers who saw the USGS knock a Virginia / West Virginia earthquake off the map.

With a little sleuth work , and some LUCK that the other feed wasn't yet censored -- I was able to track down the approximate epicenter of this quake based upon the helicorder signatures at each ANSS backbone station.

Heaviest shaking occurred in Florida, South/North Carolina!

according to a friend of mine their were several missing earthquakes that did not register across the Midwest ,south,east coast in an apparent power failure that happened at the same time in over 50 location across the united states. amazing

Thank you MrC for sharing this info with us! Peace and blessings to you.
