I have trouble comprehending the scale of huge numbers but this chart makes it really easy to see the diversity (or lack thereof) of the world’s beliefs.

Coolio.

‘As the mainstream media continues to be obsessed with Anthony Weiner and his bizarre adventures on Twitter, much more serious events are happening around the world that are getting very little attention.  In America today, if the mainstream media does not cover something it is almost as if it never happened. Right now, the worst nuclear disaster in human history continues to unfold in Japan , U.S. nuclear facilities are being threatened by flood waters, the U.S. military is bombing Yemen, gigantic cracks in the earth are appearing all over the globe and the largest wildfire in Arizona history is causing immense devastation.  But Anthony Weiner, Bristol Palin and Miss USA are what the mainstream media want to tell us about and most Americans are buying it.

In times like these, it is more important than ever to think for ourselves. The corporate-owned mainstream media is not interested in looking out for us.  Rather, they are going to tell us whatever fits with the agenda that their owners are pushing.

That is why more Americans than ever are turning to the alternative media. Americans are hungry for the truth, and they know that the amount of truth that they get from the mainstream media continues to decline.

The following are 12 things that the mainstream media is being strangely quiet about right now….’

Just reblog this straight as a link, so that it doesn’t mess up (just a heads up)

#1 The crisis at the Fort Calhoun nuclear facility in Nebraska has received almost no attention in the national mainstream media.

#2 Most Americans are aware that the U.S. is involved in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.  However, the truth is that the U.S. military is also regularly bombing Yemen and parts of Pakistan.

#3 The crisis at Fukushima continues to get worse.  Arnold Gundersen said: “Fukushima is the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind”

#4 Members of Congress continue to mention Christians as a threat to national security.

#5 China’s eastern province of Zhejiang has experienced that worst flooding that it has seen in 55 years.

#6 Thanks to the Dodd-Frank Act, over the counter trading of gold and silver is going to be illegal starting on July 15th.

#7 All over the world, huge cracks are appearing for no discernible reason.

#8 According to U.S. Forest Service officials, the largest wildfire in Arizona state history has now covered more than 500,000 acres.

#9 There are reports that North Korea has tested a “super EMP weapon” which would be capable of taking out most of the U.S. power grid in a single shot.

#10 All over the United States, “active shooter drills” are being conducted in our public schools.  Often, most of the students are not told that these drills are fake.

#11 NASA has just launched a “major” preparedness initiative for all NASA personnel.  NASA’s own website

#12 Over the past week over 40 temporary “no fly zones” have been declared by the FAA.
