#1 Strange Things Happening On The Sun


They're not strange to scientists. The nightly news is not aimed at scientists.


#2 Fukushima


The crisis was extensively covered live as it happened. It is often revisited in feature articles. Do you want them to run a ticker along the bottom of the screen 24/7 showing radiation readings from all the neighboring prefectures? What would you do with the information?


#3 Rise In Volcanic Activity Around The World


Again, the eruptions are covered extensively as they happen. Scientists don't find the activity unusual.


#4 Strange Sounds In The Sky


I'm surprised that the media isn't actively promoting more internet hoaxes.


#5 Increase In Global Earthquakes


Yet again, earthquakes are covered extensively as they happen. Scientists don't find the activity unusual.


#6 Crazy Tornado Outbreaks


Once more, the tornadoes are extensively covered as they happen. The causes for their increasing frequency and violence are the subject of many feature articles and documentaries. Nova ran two this month.


#7 Obama Signs Disturbing Executive Order


Some people find anything Obama does disturbing.


#8 Evacuation Drills At U.S. Public Schools


These are not news. Deranged gunmen shooting students is news. The one will hopefully prevent the other.


#9 Giant Sinkholes


Reported as they happen. They are nothing new.


#10 Mass Deaths


These may actually be receiving too much exposure on the news. Nature has cycles, it is not always obvious why certain things happen the way they do. Further study is called for, not panic.

What the tenor of the video suggests is that the mainstream media are not trying to generate enough sheer terror and panic. That's what the internet is for.

Hope you get to watch the video is explained in more detail


#1 - Normal. Read a science website.
#2. - Year old news that was covered like crazy when it was fresh. New developments are covered by the media.
#3 - Normal. Read a science website
#4 - Fake, not newsworthy
#5 - Normal. Read a science website
#6 - Normal. Read a science website
#7 - Disturbing for who? Also, this was covered by the media.
#8 - Nothing sinister here, it's for safety
#9 - Last year's news, explainable by weather conditions
#10 - Normal. Read a science website


So, to break it down... the media either already has, or is still covering these stories, and the ones that aren't covered are because they're explainable with a little research.

#1 Yeah your right the nightly news is not aimed at scientists its aimed at people who want to know and want to hear it on the news. The suns poles have shifting a year early and it is possible that its effecting earth and this was not covered on the news.

#2 I have had people answer to me that they wish they had radioactive information on the telly to know how bad stuff is!

#3 excuse me I am watching the news now and all I see is Greece, the eruo, the Olympics, the stupid American election hold on! Popocatepetl is #ing up and # loads more so # off!

#4 Disinformation from the strange sounds in the sky happens all the time the increase of the sounds are far to great to be hoaxes you are just a sheep that listens to the mainstream media.

#5 They are not covered as they happen are you really that stupid.

#6 Not all of them are covered most of these are only briefly covered what about the UK tornadoes?

#7 I agree with you on that one lol.

#8 why is this not news are you really that much of a sheep.

#9 the 300ft wide sinkhole in Sweden was not covered!

#10 mass deaths are only half what your being told.

people like you make me sick, your completely in denial about whats going on around you. Mass animal deaths that are STILL happening, and nobody knows why, the ring of fire is lighting up with big earthquakes everyday, which in turn is waking up all of the volcanoes, fireballs falling from the sky, strange noises being heard all over the world, the U.S. has been ravaged by horrible weather and around 400 tornadoes since april 11, why dont you do some REAL research about whats going on ?.

Personally, I think more people should use Facebook for this specific purpose, (that is about all it is good for). I too post only 'alternative news' on the site. It must make some people think if they see it.

I wonder why these procedures seem to vary from state to state. I have received memos from my children's school stating that in accordance with federal guidelines, emergency drills will be taken place at the school on such and such dates. But all the school seems to require is to have a plan formulated and implemented in case of a lockdown (such as Columbine) type of emergency where the whole school is locked and the teachers gather the children in a corner with the lights out and the blinds drawn. Until they get the okay they are to stay that way until further notice. There is nothing about taking them on a bus to another location although they have had bus drills on how to safely evacuate their bus in certain emergencies.

I would be very suspicious about why they would evacuate the children to a secret location? Wouldn't that be more dangerous in a Columbine type of event if the kids were to leave the building as opposed to a full lockdown in the school?

You are right. We actually have two drills we practice. One is just as you describe; we huddle in the corner with the doors locked and the blinds drawn shut. That is for an intruder on campus.

However, we also do the emergency evacuation drill. I'm assuming that would probably be used for a bomb threat, gas leak in the building, what have you. The kids have even practiced running in a zigzag...isn't that sad?

Federal government mandates the schools have a crisis plan in place, but the individual states (and perhaps school systems) have final say about what goes in the crisis plan.

I wonder why they are doing this more and more though perhaps a false flag terror attack again? Or are the Americans that paranoid?

That sounds like a list from an ATS member. Besides that, alternative news sources are no better than the MSM. No one is reporting REAL news, they're just looking for the spotlight. Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame. ATS is a great example of that. Years ago, people actually reported on "news". Now, they're just making up stories. Ain't nothing going on in the world....that hasn't gone on....for the past 2,000 or so years. Same thing, different day. Doom will come...when you LEAST expect it. If mother earth is gonna spit on us....there isn't a fan big enough to stop it. LIVE YOUR LIFE! Unplug from the matrix!!!

On slow news days,they might interview an astronomer as part of their "science beat," but there is just not much happening on a daily basis. If you feel the need to inform yourself in real time, there are resources on the internet:

www.spaceweather.com...

You can sign up for e-mail alerts there.


#2 I have had people answer to me that they wish they had radioactive information on the telly to know how bad stuff is!


What would hey do with this information?


#3 excuse me I am watching the news now and all I see is Greece, the eruo, the Olympics, the stupid American election hold on! Popocatepetl is #ing up and # loads more so # off!


Unless you live on the slopes of Popocatepetl, Greece leaving the Eurozone and the outcome of the American election will have a greater effect on your life than the volcano.


#4 Disinformation from the strange sounds in the sky happens all the time the increase of the sounds are far to great to be hoaxes you are just a sheep that listens to the mainstream media.


Its the people who take YouTube videos posted by End Time prophets seriously who are the sheep. Sorry.


#5 They are not covered as they happen are you really that stupid.


Anything smaller than a 7.0 M is strictly a local news item. They rate between a quick clip on the nightly news and a paragraph on page 3. Anything above a 7.0 M generally gets live coverage on CNN, complete with shaky videos shot with mobile phones. Are you really that stupid?


#6 Not all of them are covered most of these are only briefly covered what about the UK tornadoes?


Again, minor storms are strictly a local news item. Only photogenic killer storms make the front page.


#7 I agree with you on that one lol.


Thank you.


#8 why is this not news are you really that much of a sheep.


Because news is a breaking development, not an ongoing activity.


#9 the 300ft wide sinkhole in Sweden was not covered!


Another local news story. Sweden has many sinkholes due to the quick clay in its soil. It doesn't really affect anyone else.


#10 mass deaths are only half what your being told.


If you say so.

you are entitled to your own views but I think the majority of people thing that these issues should be covered in the news more.

Perhaps an Earth Change Mainstream News Channel?

For one.... Nothing is normal. Define normal? This planet is nothing but normally changing and so is its inhabitants.

There are a lot of reasons for concern and the one that concerns me the most is earthquakes in diverse places. Not really cool with fracking! Just my opinion of course.

The planet will out last us though. She has been around for a long time but hey, anythings possible.

Our Sun and the rest of space has not been observed long enough for me to say what is constant and what is not. I for now think everything is constantly chaning and that is the only thing I know for certain.

The media is bought and paid for.... Anyone who doesnt know this should talk to reporters... They will tell you.

The ones who come out and tell the truth to us are called crazy by the ones who live in fear. If something is said that creates uncertainty then they are deemed crazy. Lol maybe they are crazy.... Crazy enough to tell the truth.

And for those posters that use logic as a argument... Why?

Whos logic?

Yours? Ours? Theirs? His? Hers? I almost want to start a rant about it but I dont want to hear my rantful thoughts either so .... Guess I will change my mind. Lol

Change is in the air.... Thats certain.

Oh there are a lot of things the media is being quiet about here in America and you know why?


Who Rules America?

THERE IS NO GREATER POWER in the world today than that wielded by the manipulators of public opinion in America. No king or pope of old, no conquering general or high priest ever disposed of a power even remotely approaching that of the few dozen men who control America's mass media of news and entertainment.

Their power is not distant and impersonal; it reaches into every home in America, and it works its will during nearly every waking hour. It is the power that shapes and molds the mind of virtually every citizen, young or old, rich or poor, simple or sophisticated.

The mass media form for us our image of the world and then tell us what to think about that image. Essentially everything we know—or think we know—about events outside our own neighborhood or circle of acquaintances comes to us via our daily newspaper, our weekly news magazine, our radio, or our television.

It is not just the heavy-handed suppression of certain news stories from our newspapers or the blatant propagandizing of history-distorting TV "docudramas" that characterizes the opinion-manipulating techniques of the media masters. They exercise both subtlety and thoroughness in their management of the news and the entertainment that they present to us.

For example, the way in which the news is covered: which items are emphasized and which are played down; the reporter's choice of words, tone of voice, and facial expressions; the wording of headlines; the choice of illustrations—all of these things subliminally and yet profoundly affect the way in which we interpret what we see or hear.

On top of this, of course, the columnists and editors remove any remaining doubt from our minds as to just what we are to think about it all. Employing carefully developed psychological techniques, they guide our thought and opinion so that we can be in tune with the "in" crowd, the "beautiful people," the "smart money." They let us know exactly what our attitudes should be toward various types of people and behavior by placing those people or that behavior in the context of a TV drama or situation comedy and having the other TV characters react in the Politically Correct way.

Molding American Minds and rest of article here: www.natall.com...


What we are told are lies, half truths and omissions of the truth (which is still lying).

Our media is owned by a handful of the most rich and powerful people in America and this practice is spreading like a malignant cancer with it's tentacles ever stretching outward.

More later...........time to cut the lawn, can't let the guys do it all by themselves, got to pull my fair share of the load.

Go to the source site, interesting also this You Tube video



No description of video, but our country is changing and not for the better.

Think November elections will make a difference???? Think again, it's all a scam to give you all the illusion of freedom. The 99% are slaves and don't even know it.

Im about to head off for work too but before I do just wanted to say I love the way you think outside the box..educate yourself and others, like me. We are all here to learn so I thank you.

We do think we are free but are so far from it. We are all slaves to a system.... Even the Universe holds a system that leaves us far from any control.

The only thing I think that can change this may be our minds. Thats an on going study... For sure.

"Welcome to ND-Times-TV News, I'm your host, "Chick"Liddel." Our top story tonight: the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have once again been sighted in the Sun's corona. Experts believe that this may be the advance guard of an armada of interdimensional spaceships, although scientists at the Intelligent Design Institute urge calm, believing that it is merely a case of the Sun beginning to explode.

"This just in: Fukushima province still has elevated levels of radiation. You are powerless to change that.

"In other developments, there are currently 62 volcanoes on Earth classified as active. These live videos are from Mount Etna in Italy, which still isn't erupting, but we'll be sure to interrupt our regular programming when it does

"On a lighter note, here's the latest YouTube video with a strange noise on it. Experts are divided on the cause of the eerie noises. Although some scientists believe that it is caused by HAARP stimulating chemtrails at the Schumann resonance frequency, the majority of researchers believe that it is the Trumpet of Doom, as forecast in Revelations.

"And now for the weather: Tornadoes. Killer tornadoes everywhere. We'll be back with the sports after this message from Golddealer.com....

#1 Strange Things Happening On The Sun

#2 Fukushima

#3 Rise In Volcanic Activity Around The World

#4 Strange Sounds In The Sky

#5 Increase In Global Earthquakes

#6 Crazy Tornado Outbreaks

#7 Obama Signs Disturbing Executive Order

#8 Evacuation Drills At U.S. Public Schools

#9 Giant Sinkholes

#10 Mass Deaths




1. Nothing strange is happening on the Sun. Someone uses their wild imagination to come up
with ridiculous conclusions like giant "triangles" orbiting the Sun and people say OHHH and AHHH
like its true. It gets to the front page, gets debunked, and people ignore the facts and there begins
the delusions. There is no evidence of "strange" things happeneing on the Sun.

2. Yes, they are ignoring Fukushima. They've been ignoring Africa, and have been ignoring Ron Paul as well.
Why aren't those on the list? What more could they tell you about Fukushima? Its bad. It going to get worst.
Something may be eminent. Thats it. Its nothing more to add.

3. Just like the earthquakes and the strange sun thing, peoples imagination get the best of them. Like really. You
pay attention to a rock on the ground too long, the wind is bound to move it a inch. Thats when you jump up in the air for an entire mile.

4. No proof of this. Was heard a couple of times, now people are editing in sounds on hundreds of videos everyday trying to convince people they exist by complete hoax. If it wasn't for the attention seekers, every month or so a real video would have popped up, and we could've mapped them. Oh well. Jump on the bandwagon if you wish.

5. Where? You mean in the same place? You mean the one's that happen ALL the time? The ones that are happening right now? O.o Lets see this...

6. Again, where? Lets see this.

7. Who could ignore that?

8. Why aren' they doing them at any of the 20+ schools I pass everyday to get to my own school? More false information.

9. Where? Lets see this.

10. Depends on what you define as "mass". By the way, deaths of what?

This list was posted before. Look, the MSM sucks, and is propaganda at its finest. I hate them as
much as anyone else does. But maybe they are not reporting certain things because well...Maybe there is nothing to report... -__-

Indeed nothing in this world is ever normal!

The strange earthquakes are very interesting and worrying at the same time.

Of course she will out last her and we haven't even left a footprint on her timeline yet

The media is bought and paid for.... Anyone who doesnt know this should talk to reporters... They will tell you.

All media is also controlled.;... Thats why alternative media is better

We all have different views neither one of them is wrong or right?

Change is in the air.... Thats certain and your right thanks for the comment!
