Rare Kansas 4.7 magnitude earthquake (4.0M revised) @ Fracking operation — Forecast 48 hours prior (sensored by AOL)

A noteworthy, and rare 4.7 magnitude earthquake has struck South Central Kansas at a fracking operation.   This is one of the larger earthquakes in Kansas state history.
This event was forecast to occur 2 days ago on May 21, 2015.
The USGS decided to quickly (within a few minutes) downgrade the earthquake to a 4.0 M !?   Literally cutting the earthquake by almost a whole magnitude?!



_______
Kansas was warned 2 days ago for 4.0M+ earthquake activity to occur.
See the forecast for Kansas here: (talking about Kansas at approximately the 23 minute mark)
_______
Original data from the USGS shows a 4.6 M earthquake with a margin of error at ZERO… then they downgraded the earthquake to be a 4.0 for some reason.
We’ve seen a large increase in 4.0 magnitude (and greater) activity over the past 7 days across the United States, it is no wonder the USGS is in “downplay” mode right now.  They always do this at times of global unrest, downgrade, and deny anything major is happening.
They will continue downgrading, and denying until a large event occurs, just like we saw in 2011, and 2012.

Above: Past 7 days of 4.0M+ earthquakes in the United States (up to 245pm CDT May 23, 2015) shows a major increase in United States seismic activity.

In my opinion , this was downgraded to save any problems for oil / gas companies.  No real reason to downgrade an earthquake this far, other that to make it appear to be no big deal.
Most likely some idiot at the USGS playing politics due to this earthquake being related to fracking.
The European services are showing a 4.7 magnitude:
