I monitor any earthquake, volcano or hurricane before it occurs anywhere in the world, and I know where it occurs, and I know its strength and where it is located on the level of the globe
And the hurricane knows where it begins, where it travels, and where it ends
When does a volcano become active and when does it subside?
I challenge on the ground in front of the largest scientific bodies in the world
So there is a device in my mind
Because before an earthquake occurs, vibrations are emitted from the earth’s interior, which go out to the atmosphere and descend to the earth in less than three seconds. I picked up these vibrations.
There is a device in my mind that sends those vibrations to him and he translates them and knows their strength and where they occur on the globe. This device was discovered by me since 1992. I was more certain when I was told that a devastating earthquake would strike Southeast Asia in 2004, known as the tsunami, as well as the Japanese earthquake that destroyed the Japanese Fukushima nuclear plant and cost Japan 100 Billion dollars in losses and many, many more
I hope to offer my services to East Asian countries, especially Japan, Indonesia, Solomon Islands or Brunei
