Eh.

Yes, yes, MSM blah blah blah...

But such things can’t be hidden these days.  We’ll see if it’s someone jumping to conclusions or something screwy.

But 20 kt is a weird, weird number.  Damned low these days.  And underwater?  That’s outright bizarre.   Bizarre enough to make me skeptical.

Nuclear depth charge or torpedo, maybe?  The ASROC nuke depth charge is 10kT, IIRC.  I think the ChiComs have some anti-submarine missiles and other naval weapons that might carry a nuclear payload that is on the smaller side.

Possibly a Goa'uld mother ship crashed.
Let’s hope SG-1 is on board and that they are OK.
Definitely need to get a deep sea rescue vehicle there before the Chinese get to it and suddenly they are selling Goa'uld Brainwashing devices for $4.99 on Amazon, the Democrats might start believing everything they are told.

Looking at the map more closely, I see typos in several places.  The color codes don't reflect the high numbers either.

We don’t just “loose” those.  Or have them ready for any sort of deployment (if my non-military knowledge of this stuff is an indicator.  Setting off a nuke isn’t meant to be possible accidentally).  And the ChiComs are smart about this: rather than go the Russian “bad missiles with nuclear payloads” route, their conventional ship-killers seem to be getting scary without needing the nukes.  Which is why this idea is so weird.

Assuming that this isn’t bunk... Maybe we took a hit from a larger chunk of comet debris.

“POSSIBLE OUTBURST OF ALPHA MONOCEROTID METEORS: This week, Earth will pass by a stream of dusty debris from an unnamed comet. Forecasters believe the close encounter could cause an outburst of alpha Monocerotid meteors. The time to look is 04:50 UT on Nov. 22nd (11:50 p.m. EST on Nov. 21st). This timing favors observers in western Europe and eastern parts of Canada and the USA. More: full story, sky map.”

Norks have been working on sub launched missiles since they’ve got the bomb sorted, but really only have short range missiles.

It may be they don’t have all the kinks worked out yet.

We’d...have someone watching them.  And little fatso knows it, so I doubt they’d try it.  And I doubt they’d actually have something workable with a nuke on it without more tests.  We’d have seen a few test fires first, they don’t really have tons of nukes to spare to load on a test missile just ‘cause.

I'm not saying we lost one or anything like that.  I'm just saying maybe the ChiComs are developing a similar anti-submarine weapon to the nuclear version of ASROC.  I think the Soviets had nuke torpedoes.  Just throwing it out there as something that might be in that yield range and be detonated underwater.

Oh I’m sure we know about it,  but we’re not going to do anything about it.

Just like all the other missile launches.

The detonations on land; they are done testing.

They just need a delivery system like a sub to drive it over closer.

What else would be a 10-20 kt detonation with a butt load of radiation in teh middle of the South China Sea?
View Quote
There's no “butt load of radiation”. The map peddled by Hal Turner lists background levels. Also, it includes offline sensors with data from 2018!

Background radiation varies by a factor of 1000 on Earth (and more typically within one order of magnitude), so you have to look at trends to spot anything unusual. For a nuclear detonation, you would need confirmation by isotope sampling.

If you use correct settings for the uRADMonitor site (days 20 and 21st November 2019 and disable offline sensors), you get stable graphs with nothing unusual. It's a hoax.

I may be wrong, but when there's dozens of tweets from multiple news organizations within minutes of NK launching a missile and only a single "source" on this in 4 hours, I'm kind of doubtful.

It certainly would, but that’s not what this is. The Chinese don’t keep a large stockpile and they have no intention of wasting warheads. They know that they can’t afford to waste ammo if they want to keep a credible deterrent.

China’s attention?  That’s not a greeting card and flowers.  If someone is trying to get their attention with nukes...they won’t respond kindly.  Nor will the rest of the world.  Nukes are for leveling cities (or, rather, making sure no one levels your cities because you’ll glass theirs).  States know this won’t end well if they try using nukes to get attention, and non state actors...would end up very, very dead.  Only thing that would unite most of the Nuclear club would be that jazz.

Clearly an earthquake waveform, and a quick search shows a 6.1 near the Laos/Thailand border at that time.

Japan has a really neat 100-trace seismogram display... Note the 23:50 UTC time stamp of the earthquake, and the +9 JST time zone on the image.
