On 24 June 2026, western Venezuela was struck by a catastrophic pair of powerful earthquakes, beginning with a magnitude 7.2 foreshock followed 40 seconds later by a magnitude 7.5 mainshock. The mainshock, centered 23 km southeast of Yumare at a shallow depth of 10.0 km, is recorded as the largest earthquake to hit Venezuela in over 125 years.

10km depth, that figure again 🤔
So can the deep state create earthquakes? If they can't have Venezuela, they'll destroy it...?

We should send them whatever Aid they need.
Starting with all their citizens to help rebuild. Yes, we can help them also and we should.
EARTHQUAKE: Many did not manage to escape from the collapsing buildings. The earthquake was devastating. Sad. https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/2070023274352759112
Thank God. My thoughts and prayers to all those innocent people.
