Late Reporting on USGS
June 6, 2004

On June 6 it was noted that the USGS controlled sites are not updated automatically, as they claim, from the monitors during the weekends. The cover-up requires that quakes not occurring in populated areas be dropped, quakes that have not appeared in the news be dropped, and Richters dumbed down as much as possible. They are waiting until the weekend is passed.

5.0 earthquake in Taiwan on June 6, but not showing on USGS, nor is anything else since June 4. What is going on?

Earthquake jolts Taiwan
An earthquake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale jolted Taiwan today, but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, officials said. The tremor struck at 8.09am local time (9.09am AEST), with an epicenter around 21 kilometers northeast of Taitung, a costal town in the southeast of Taiwan, the Seismology Center said. Its focus was 3.3 kilometers below the ground. Taiwan, lying near the junction of two tectonic plates, is prone to earthquakes.

USGS shows nothing for the 5th or 6th.
