I've been checking up on the site for a few months now and finally caved and joined. The 20 posts thing is annoying but i'm sure i'll get past it quickly enough.

Has anyone ever googled the basic term end of the world? If you ever did, like myself, before may 21st you used to get better resources. I'm pretty sure thats how I found this site in the first place. Now you can't get past the first few pages without every possible news article about the predicted rapture. Disinformation much?

Its not really disinfo,its more of a retard overload..Some people believe it or not sit and wish that some disaster will happen just so theylle have something to throw in other peoples faces,so they begin to fabricate stories hoping to bring fear to those dumb enough to believe .The government doesnt need to provide disinfo.The government gives people a story then sits back and lets the retard overload take control.

Welcome!
And if you're trying to get credible info on the "real" news, using google as your search engine isn't going to help much, IMO.
Google searches are now tailored from other searches etc. you do on your computer.
See if anyone can list you better search engines...

Hope you enjoy, and gain from, your time on ATS. Sometimes it's really annoying, but there's some very informed people around, and most threads have some great discussion and argument.

Maybe the most likely source of disinfo about the 'end of the world' isn't the 'government', 'TPTB', Illuminati, Freemasons or whatever. Start with whoever (one person or more) wrote the Book of Revelation, around 100AD, and look closely all the way up to Harold Camping this year. Most end-times scenarios are Christian, and involve some sort of divine intervention. Over the last 20 years or so we've moved on to pseudo-science and pseudo-history, imaginary comets, planets and the rest of it, but what brings all of these predictions together are the people who make them.

(Google, as someone said, is a terrible place to look unless you know what you're looking for: you'll only find what you're fed, which is usually what's been 'trending' in the last week or two.)

But if you look further, you'll find a long history of individuals who want to impress and take some control over others. St John the Divine, or whoever wrote Revelation was predicting an end in a generation or two. He was writing to young, new churches who were having a hard time, and needed a, for them, happy ending to look forward to. The Great Beast, 666, was almost certainly the Emperor Nero, who was much reviled at the time but is pretty much totally irrelevant now.

Since then, using chunks from Revelation, Daniel, the measurements of the Great Pyramid, a single Mayan calendar stone, the incomprehensible (before the event) quatrains of Nostradamus, and any other scrap of information that can be given a complicated interpretation that might impress others, a stream of thousands of unsuccessful prophets (hello Mr Camping - two failures so far) has kept at it. Remember, every single end times prophecy for any date up to today has turned out to be c**p.

So, no, it's the fringe evangelists, new age prophets, peope who post photos of Nibiru, sellers of books on Planet X, cults, people who want to sell you places in holes in the ground and many more – including good old-fashioned well-meaning crazies - that are disinforming us. I don't see why the government would want, or need, to even think about getting involved. And I don’t think there’s any convincing evidence that they do.

As a new member myself, I'd like to say Hi. Secondly regarding your post, the MSM is not the place to get your information. Sure it's good to have it so you can get a "general" idea of what is going on in the world. But you will never get a full grasp on things watching cnn, msnbc, fox etc. They are headed my people who have their own take on life and think there are certain things that we should and should not know.

Yea this was gonna be my point also. There is plenty of information out there but you do need to go a bit deeper than just a google search.

Some things take work and fortunately alot of people on here are into that type of work


Glad to see you join and hope you enjoy your stay.

I'm sick of the disinfo too and sometimes don't know where to turn, but if you want "dirt" on whomever you're currently researching, let's say a documentary by David Icke, you can use search terms like "debunked, revealed, exposed, etc" with the name of the individual and you might find some disinfo stuff to help you figure out who's legit or what to believe. Have fun on the board.
