Epicenters of historical earthquakes with intensity greater than V........................................................ 12 TECTONIC SETTING The north-trending magnetic anomalies of the Juan de Fuca plate are off set along two conspicuous northeast-trending lineaments (fig. 1), named the Columbia offset and the Destruction offset by Carlson (1981). The northeast ward projections of these lineaments intersect the continental area of western Washington, hence are of potential significance to the tectonics of the Pacific Northwest region. Pavoni (1966) suggested that these lineaments were left-lateral faults, and that the Columbia, 280 km in length, had 52 km of offset, and the Destruction, with a length of 370 km, had 75 km of offset. Based on Vine's (1968) correlation of the magnetic anomalies mapped in this area by Raff and Mason (1961), with the magnetic reversal time scale, Silver (1971b, p. -
The Catalina Triangle — Magnificence & Mystery Meet Mayhem & Murder Most Foul Off the Souther California Coast
THE CATALINA TRIANGLE — MAGNIFICENCE & MYSTERY MEET MAYHEM & MURDER MOST FOUL OFF THE SOUTHER CALIFORNIA COAST Dedicated to the many men and women who have lost their lives in the Catalina Triangle by Ned Madden, San Clemente, Calif. – 2017 * * * “…The lure of the sea is some strange magic that makes men love what they fear. Death on the shifting barren sands seems less insupportable to the imagination than death out on the boundless ocean, in the awful, windy emptiness. Man's bones yearn for dust.” — Zane Grey "If a life is taken close to the 33rd Parallel North, this fits with the Masons’ demonic mythology in which they demonstrate their worldly power by spilling human blood at a predetermined locale." — "Masons and Mystery at the Parallel" by Day Williams (Anti-Freemason Christian writer) A bee on a balloon and a kite on the moon … The Catalina Triangle … a 1,200-square-mile pie-slice-shaped wedge of Pacific Ocean off the OC coast in between Dana Point, Santa Catalina and San Clemente islands … works in mysterious ways, and, yeh, I did once look up to glimpse that very real and singular close-bee- balloon/far-kite-moon visual floating before my eyes as I walked along the Capo Beach strand. No surprise. I’ve come to expect Catalina Triangle strangeness – like the Avalon “sleepkiller,” the 33rd Parallel/“Bloodline of the Earth” link, Natalie Wood and Phil Hartman, St. John Capistrano: “Scourge of the Jews,” sado-masochistic padres and blood-soaked natives, ghosts and pirates, a 30-kiloton nuke, mountain ranges spun sideways, sinking islands and northwest- trending fault epicentrum, Borderland and Bight, Gyre and eddy, countercurrent and undercurrent, earthquake and tsunami, moonscape sea craters and underwater knoll oases, Navy SEALs’ bin Laden-killing fake city, a real building made of human bones, largest animal (with the largest penis, a ten-footer) ever to draw breath and spout water vapor (the animal, not the organ) in the long sweep of phallic time on Mother Earth herself … beginning-of-life stuff. -
