  1. In Japan, a post about the possibility of an earthquake occurring around Christmas became popular on social media about two weeks ago. I felt like things were acting strange. Is it related?

  6. Japan is a resilient people, always strong and overcoming all natural disasters. Wishing the country and people of Japan to be safe🙏🇯🇵

  15. Could be real or fraud. We don't know. Could be laser space weaponry to prevent Japan from joining BRICS. If real, it presages an earth flip around 2040 and loss of 1/4 of earth's population (milder 1/4 flip).

  23. Japan puts Australia to shame with their preparation. I got a warning SMS from the government up here in FNQ about flooding, after the flooding had been happening for hours.

  25. Resilient people. They are admirable as society and a country. They will be back up in no time.

  32. "Passengers on the trains gasp for air"

    Passengers speaking and breathing normally, even sounding excited

  35. Testing out their disaster control algorithm. Only select few can report on world evrnts now oh well should focus on or family friends and community more anywsy not on people we cant help but watch from a distance tjis is bavjfiring for the elite. Good
