Disinformation is really killing me

By Ben Tremblay

I just can’t believe what I’m reading sometimes. I have no problem with people having different opinions than me, that’s mostly why human relations are made of: disagreement and discussion. If everybody would think the same thing, our world would be kind of boring. The problem is when people are giving false information to prove their point. I usually avoid speaking when I don’t know what I’m talking about or if I don’t have valid arguments to prove my point. But it seems some just don’t care about that, they’re just so much convinced of their beliefs that they’ll twist the information to fit their way of thinking. My latest finding comes from India Daily, once again and here’s the short article:

According to some scientists, there is a reactor at the very center of the earth. That creates the electromagnetism for the earth. The electromagnetism in turn support life forms.

There are evidences that the Mars was timing with life forms. Something weird happened there and the life as we know vanished from the Mars surface. According to some scientists, Mars lost its electromagnetism as its core cooled down.

The Mayans and other civilization have warned the world that some cataclysmic will happen between 2012 and 2025. What did they mean? Was it that the earth’s core will cool down like that of Mars? Does that mean earth will be lifeless like Mars?

The same scientists that say there is a reactor at the very center of the earth, also say the reactor is running out of Uranium fuel. It is possible that it will run out of fuel between 2012 and 2025.

See how this article is built? Propaganda at it’s best. Look at the first sentence:

According to some scientists, there is a reactor at the very center of the earth. That creates the electromagnetism for the earth. The electromagnetism in turn support life forms.

Do you see any reference to where that information is coming from? No source article or anything. You know why? Because there’s none.

Then, we read:

The same scientists that say there is a reactor at the very center of the earth, also say the reactor is running out of Uranium fuel. It is possible that it will run out of fuel between 2012 and 2025.

I know what scientist he’s referring to: Geophysicist J. Marvin Herndon. He’s the author of a theory that wants the core of the earth to be made of Uranium instead of Iron. Iron has been the main theory for years and mostly everyone was believing it was right, including the NASA. It’s totally true that Herndon claims that if made of Uranium, the core will someday exhaust its supply of radioactive material.

The way it’s put in the article is very confusing because it’s put in there like a fact. It seems a fact that the earth’s core is made of Uranium, while it’s mostly approved by most scientists that it is made of Iron. Then it says the core will exhaust its supply of radioactive material between 2012 and 2025. Herndon has never mentioned such date, he’s a scientist not a prophet.

Then why putting exact dates in the article? Well, to back the 2012 end of the world theory. But see how it’s been modified a bit? It’s not an absolute 2012 now, it will happen between 2012 and 2025! It has been changed to be more credible but to follow what the Mayas said, their calendar is ending in 2012, there’s no 2025. I mean it’s all or nothing here, please. 2012 or 2025? 2019 maybe?

It was just to show how such a small article could be full of content. Full of false content. I’m really sick of all that disinformation because there’s a lot of people that probably read the article and took it for granted without even searching for reliable sources of information. I wouldn’t care if the article was making reference to real facts. That would have been just a different opinion.

It’s in the best interest of our society to inform people properly.
