> You likely won’t hear of this event via the mainstream media. I very much doubt they’ll even inform you if the volcano actually blew its top. And that’s because the MSM’s aim is not to keep you informed, or to give you a heads-up regarding real-world threats; instead, its purpose is to manage your behavior and to keep you controlled.<p>La Palma is indeed very interesting, but this kind of talk makes me take the author much less seriously than I would have otherwise.
The information was interesting (and terrifying). I could have done without the conspiracy theory drivel mixed in, though...<p>But I've heard about this threat before. It could cause <i>massive</i> damage. For historical reasons, an awful lot of the major US cities are on the eastern seaboard. (Of course, it could damage a lot more than just the US...)
Potentially world-ending crises everywhere - be scared, very scared. And don't trust well-known sources, pay me, so I can keep you scared.<p>Super-volcanoes, tsunamis, asteroids - they all happen and can be catastrophic. And La Palma is a major concern - a recent bout of activity certainly should be on the agenda for countries that would be directly affected.<p>But I would recommend following other sources to remain informed. Perhaps check what your local government has to offer in the way of tsunami alerts, if you think you would be affected, because checking conspiracy mongers' websites around the clock isn't a viable alternative.
