From Bloomberg

The earthquake that killed more than 150,000 people in Haiti this month may have left clues to petroleum reservoirs that could aid economic recovery in the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation, a geologist said.

The Jan. 12 earthquake was on a fault line that passes near potential gas reserves, said Stephen Pierce, a geologist who worked in the region for 30 years for companies including the former Mobil Corp. The quake may have cracked rock formations along the fault, allowing gas or oil to temporarily seep toward the surface, he said yesterday in a telephone interview.

“A geologist, callous as it may seem, tracing that fault zone from Port-au-Prince to the border looking for gas and oil seeps, may find a structure that hasn’t been drilled,” said Pierce, exploration manager at Zion Oil & Gas Inc., a Dallas- based company that’s drilling in Israel. “A discovery could significantly improve the country’s economy and stimulate further exploration.”

    @T-Boy02

    It’s past suspect, the U.S. used the HAARP weapon to induce a man-made earthquake, and now that they know oil and gas are there, they will occupy Haiti country in order to secure the oil and gas reserves, and with all the money being poured in the “relief effort”, Haiti already being a poor country won’t be able to repay it, so for exchange they, the U.S. and others”, will assume control of their natural resources, and they will also
    build a military base there to guard against the Haitian government, so its past suspect, the U.S. did that on purpose, not regarding the lost of human life.

    Looks like another “cheesecloth article” to help separate and bundle together all of BP’s “brightest” stars and watch them have a serious conversation about man-made earthquakes and the government’s secret plot to destroy the universe. I hope they take the bait… I could use some more entertainment.

    @sub-negro the comment Mrbrmann225 made is 100% true.why do you think the u.s is the only country to have military bases everywhere in the world.they take over smaller countries and knew haiti had oil and being a poor country made it better for them to control.Hugo Chavez(venezuelan president) also made a statement on the news about u.s being responsible for the earthquake and using that to take over haitian government

    All respect to mrbrmann but the only thing I can associate a HAARP and kkkrackas with is golden ones with wings on they backs when we send them mutha phukas to HELL

    British Naval ships pulled away from haiti a day before the earth quake this hasn’t been done since 1700s

    These beast detonated underground nuclear bombs in Haiti. And wit HAARP being a machine used to so called control the weather they can easily say they made a “mistake” testing the machine lookin for oil gas or whateva and unfortunately 150,000 nagas was killed

    Florida jus repoted ova 10,000 dead fish on the shore. Earth quakes don’t kill fish explosions do

    Yall betta wake up. They did this same thing durin Katrina. Yo city could b next

    Hey Lakerdude19. In case you haven’t noticed, the tagline of this article is from Bloomberg News. Now I’m not going to debate with you whether it’s a credible news source, but I wonder how many times you have quoted from one of their articles, when is served your purpose. Come on now Laker, what makes Rush or Mike Gallagher any more credible than Bloomberg?

    Damn this was posted on Jan 28th?? how the hell did I miss this?…They must have had sandwiched between two HELLOBULLSHYT blogs and I went right by it.

    A geologist researches an area for oil and gas then finds the oil and gas in a faultline that killed 150,000+ people, wow what are the odds? And here comes the U.S with a quick money plan and “A discovery” that “stimulates further exploration”.
