Of course they are not going to go away, until we prosecute the dastards that are controlling the weather. THEY want you to think all of this is just natural processes. I think that the Fukushima disaster was do to a man-made tsunami, nothing natural about it. Giving more money to those criminals in the institutions is a less than intelligent suggestion. Can you change my mind about this conspiracy fact?
