Venezuelan president says Haiti earthquake was man made

Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said that the U.S was playing God by testing its secret weapon that killed more than 100 000 people in the devastating Haiti earthquake.

The feverous American critic made the shocking accusations in January on national television, claiming the earthquake was caused by a ‘tectonic weapon’ launched by the US Navy as part of a covert military operation.

Chavez also told Spanish reporters that the ‘Earthquake Weapon’ offered the U.S a legitimate reason for military occupation of Haiti.
“I read that 3000 soldiers are arriving, troops armed as if they were going to war.
“They are occupying Haiti undercover.” Said Chavez.

Sharon Hudson Dean from the U.S Embassy in Pretoria dismissed Chavez’s statement as a “crazy conspiracy theory,” adding that earthquakes have been recurring in the Caribbean for centuries.

“Earthquakes are an unfortunate part of life in Haiti and Dominican Republic.
“These countries sit on fault lines on the North American and Caribbean Tectonic Plates.”

“Numerous earthquakes occurred in that region during the 18th and 19th centuries.
“One earthquake in 1770 was even bigger than the one that happened recently.” She said.

US President Barack Obama recently signed an executive order to send 7,000 U.S. troops to the ravaged country as aid organizations attempt to distribute food and water to the survivors.

Chavez’s statements confirm conspiracy theorists long held beliefs that the U.S is using a secret technology called HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program), which can manipulate the weather into causing natural disasters.

A bloody showdown between a Pretorian kick-boxing champ and a Russian hero is set to go down this month

Reigning Z9 world kick-boxing champion George "Dragon" Hastings will soon brawl with Koba Iakobidez from Moscow at The Square in Hatfield, Pretoria on February 27 2010.

Both fighters have been training hard for the pre-title match but Hastings claims to be the stronger fighter, promising a swift victory.

"Koba is a tough and strong puncher but I expect to knock him out in a few minutes." Said Hastings.

"The fight is scheduled for eight rounds and I'll knock him out by the third round." Said a cocky Hastings.

The 24 year old martial artist is originally from New York but settled in South Africa last year in June to fulfill a fighting contractabd business ventures.

Iakobidez is less verbal and prefers to settle matters in the ring.

"This is not dancing this is boxing," he said in a strong Russian accent.

"No one tells me what to do and I have no fear!'

Iakobidez is a boxer from Moscow and dominated the Russian amateur scene until 2006 when he lost his super-cruiser weight title after five years as champion.

Mike Maleka, an expert in traditional Chinese kung-fu and Hastings's trainer, has been rigorously preparing Hastings at the Tuks Student Gym since September 2009 and is optimistic of a victory.

" We train six days a week for at least four hours a day and its becoming more intense as the fight draws closer, we are extremely confident of a victory." Said Maleka.

Iakobidez, the younger but more experienced fighter, recalls at least 90 fights with only two losses, while Hastings stands at 22 fights and one defeat.

The prize money for the fight is R10 000.
