Tsunami or Nuclear Blast

No doubt many of us have come across an email circulated around suggesting that the December 26 2004 tsunami was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one. This email suggested that the US of A (and other partners) were responsible for causing a nuclear blast at the bottom of the ocean and that is what caused the tsunami.

I decided to google and find out if there was any information about the source of this email. After a couple of false starts, I traced the article to the this link. It seemed to be authentic and it has got a copyright notice also; the article is claimed to be authored by one Joe Vialls. The main page of the site is, of course, http://www.vialls.com/ .

As one tries to figure out what is going out on the above site, one comes across the following related links to the tsunami:

• http://www.vialls.com/subliminalsuggestion/tsunami2.html

• http://www.joevialls.net/sumatra/earthquake.html (This link has details of another earthquake in Sumatra that occurred in March 2005 and was about 8.7 on the Richter scale and still did not cause a tsunami. Conclusion by Vialls: The December one was caused by a nuclear blast.)
  

This Joe Vialls calls himself a "private investigator". It seems he resides in Australia and is a "veteran". He also asks for funds to keep the site running.

Whether the information is true or not, one can probably never verify.

On a slightly related note:
Some time ago (around 1997), I became interested in another set of articles by a person named "Bob Lazar". The site was http://www.boblazar.com/, but that site has currently nothing (just an "under construction" page). This guy claimed to have been working at Area 51, which is a highly classified zone near Las Vegas and over which no aircraft can fly. He claimed that he was taken there and he found that the US scientists were working on an anti-matter aircraft (saucer) and this was being done by colloborating with some "aliens".
He even decribed how they looked.

It was later suggested by some people that his "stories" had a lot of flaws in it and were all lies. There is more at UFO Mind, if you are interested.
