Someone – presumably as a joke? – attempted to sign me up for the naturalnews newsletter. You may remember naturalnews from such posts as Was the E.coli outbreak started deliberately?. Interestingly, (presumably) the same person also tried to sign Jacques Rousseau up as well.
Anyway, I’m sure that Jacques didn’t bother visiting the site. I, however, did – “just for the lulz”. I returned enlightened.
Here’s the donotlink link for the page in question (if you don’t know what donotlink is, see here), grandly entitled:
Six important facts you’re not being told about lost Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
And, while yes, the disappearance of MH370 is indeed mysterious, I’m struggling to get my head around this being in any way reasonable:
The frightening part about all this is not that we will find the debris of Flight 370; but rather that we won’t. If we never find the debris, it means some entirely new, mysterious and powerful force is at work on our planet which can pluck airplanes out of the sky without leaving behind even a shred of evidence.
If there does exist a weapon with such capabilities, whoever controls it already has the ability to dominate all of Earth’s nations with a fearsome military weapon of unimaginable power. That thought is a lot more scary than the idea of an aircraft suffering a fatal mechanical failure.
Personally, I think the fact that people still read Mike Adams’ stuff and believe it is probably more frightening.
UPDATE: Incoming from the aforementioned Jacques Rousseau:
At the farthest end of the making-shit-up spectrum sits Mike “Health Ranger” Adams, the author of Natural News – a site that specialises in peddling bullshit quackery to anyone dumb enough to take the link bait plastered up on Facebook.

That reminds me of that awful book by Stephen King called The Langoliers.
