Does this look suspicious?
Last night at 12:36am, 23 December 2020, residents in East Christchurch were awakened by a sharp quake (situated close to this author’s home and very strong).
Checking the Christchurch Quake Map today revealed an ongoing seismic swarm throughout the day south of Chatham Rise in the general area that saw lots of activity in the aftermath of the big quake and throughout the aftershock sequence.

Cross referencing with a nautical tracking app shows a ship marked as “special vessel” but out of range for full identification, lurking in the general vacinity. Reminiscent of Anadarko’s Aquila exploration ship in a similar location back in 2011…and the Reflect Resolution in 2010…
Is this suspicious?

UPDATE:
Now the mystery ship is in range, my suspicions are confirmed. This is a “Research and survey” vessel the Laura Bassi: LAURA BASSI (Research/Survey Vessel) Registered in Italy – Vessel details, Current position and Voyage information – IMO 9114256, MMSI 247405400, Call Sign IBDS | AIS Marine Traffic

Welcome to the world of Geo engineered ionized atmospheric ‘tom foolery’ that’s taking the world by storm (pun intended). Remember folks, a scared population is a lot easier to mold. To add a somber note to all this, those DART buoys added as part of NZ Emergency Management along the Kermadec and Hikurangi trenches, can not only send signal but are vulnerable to receiving HARP signal and by their construction act as stimulus to ‘boost’ signal. They are a disaster waiting to happen particularly when placed in a line.
Dean says: If you want to be ‘man made’ Earthquake free a good start is to stop all sea exploration for oil as these vessels have earthquake stimulus HARP capability. Keep NZ waters free from them.
Well spotted and reported Martin. Quakes a plenty recently. Not to mention unseasonable weather. Interesting times…
And a LOT of volcanic activity Greg. In addition to Ruapehu waking up, we’ve got several others around the world blowing their tops.
I’ll get some news and articles on this situation up today, family Christmas preparations permitting:)
