I subscribe to
Alex Jones on Facebook, not that I'm such a big fan of conspiracy theories, but because I used to listen to his radio shows on late at night and found them both amusing and entertaining. (Along with Art Bell's
Coast to Coast AM) It was also a good way for me to fall asleep, much better than listening to music. It wasn't the show or subject manner that amused me the most, but rather the callers.
The Alex Jones Facebook page is no different; just the other day there was a post about the recent
Clintonville "booms" and it brought the crazies out of the woodwork. Some posters claimed the govt. was responsible (which makes up the highest percentage of blame in most conspiracy theories) while others said it was aliens and a few blamed
fracking (the hydraulic fracturing of formations to release the oil or gas. Fracking is one of the latest controversial subjects that serves as the blame for people's water catching on fire, pollution of water aquifers and gingivitis. OK, just kidding on that last. Fracking will be the subject of a future rant, so stay tuned!)
As is nearly always the case, there were posters who disregarded the subject at hand and wanted to bring up their own pet conspiracy theory. One guy said we all should Google "New Navy Maps". Usually these things don't interest me (as a Ron Paul supporter who frequents several forums devoted to him, I've grown extremely weary of this stuff), but I never had heard of that, so I did some quick research.
In a nutshell, this is supposed to be one of the new maps the U.S. Navy will use in the near-future. As you can see by the graphic below, large sections of America will be flooded.
NOTE: Image was removed, prob. by Google/Blogger because I used it without permission. To be honest. I didn't think it was such a big deal; it was a crudely drawn map with areas of America underwater. I tell ya, these conspiracy nutjobs don't have a sense of humor. If whoever turned me in is reading this: sorry you got upset, sorry you can't make a better graphic and sorry that you're such an anal retentive asshat.
Many theories were put forth as to why so much of the U.S. will be submerged; Fracking (again
), global warming, intentional diverting of the Mississippi river (which doesn't account for the east and west coasts being under water) as well as many others.
I'd have to look at a topographical map, but it looks to me like the water just blows right through part of the Rocky Mountains.
If this comes to pass, it might be a good idea to buy stock in a boat building company or maybe get some of that good-for-nothing-else desert land in Arizona and New Mexico...which will be ocean front property then.
Maybe it would be better to invest in a company that makes tin foil?
