Just an FYI…I noticed this posted on Jim Berkland’s forum on Jan. 18th by a respected ‘sensitive’ there:
Many people are hearing sounds coming from the earth it is volcanic energy

Also this was posted on January 18th by a PNW Seismic Network scientist:
Fast chatter on Rainier an hour ago

Then the next day, he posted this:
Nonsense news – Earth Earth’s core slipping away!

No wonder 65% of BeforeItsNews readers thought the core slippage theory to be plausible. It’s been a rough ride as far as weather and geological events lately, especially since 2004.
