Now, you know why I dislike silly conspiracy-theories re the Fukushima nuclear disaster supposedly killing people thousands of miles away etc.

Here, here. Unfortunately, Chicken-Little screechings about the sky falling sell. As you may be aware, the Monty Python troupe did a funny send-up in The Life of Brian of Speakers' Corner doomsaying--how prophecies of doom are more exciting and popular than accurate predictions of the future:
Life of Brian - prophets

I really expected the last guy to say something like ... and it's actually going be kinda nice. There will be these big markets where you can get food from anywhere in the world, homes will have cooled air  blah blah - and he gets stoned for being too boring.

That teenage girl needed parental guidance.

She missed the entire point of doomsday and conspiracy theory discussions.

The entire point is knowing what and when... because you WANT TO SURVIVE.

So you are PREPARED.

Geeezzzz.

I'd think there was something else.  MSM just hates rumor sites because The Powers That Be and the MSM lose their hypnotic control and audience.
