The recent spate of quakes in New Zealand has had mercifully few casualties....but got me a couple of days off work playing War Thunder........
And of course they gave rise to some suitably silly theories about how it is all part of the world wide conspiracy, dating back to the Quakes of 2010/2011.
the new cause celebre is the geo-seismic survey ship "Amazon Warrior" being off the coast at the same time as these quakes.....
but note the linkage to the 2011 quakes - saying:

Lots of people in New Zealand are against off-shore drilling due to environmental concerns - which I'm pretty sure is the interest of the Green Party MP who has noted the presence of the ship.External Quote:If you were planning to do seismic blasting off the coast of a Country, the best time to do it would be with the full moon wouldn't it?

that date is indeed roughly 6 hours ahead of schedule.....but oddly it appears nowhere in eth actual emails - the earliest email (given on the original pdf link this page) do not have those lines in them - they show this:External Quote:From: Jake Sullivan
To: Hillary Clinton
