Conspiracy or Coincidence?

9/24/2017

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE

According to the Natural News online news publication, "nearly every 'official source' is constantly lying to the public" about medicine, agriculture, geology and of course, meteorology.

Oddly, a plethora of  hurricanes and earthquakes have occurred in places that, hauntingly, the United States have issue with: Mexico and Korea. Some experts say it is likely that these "natural disasters" are not natural at all, but instead, man-made phenomena.

With reports revealing that weather weaponization technology is real, and the United States Government recognizes and has granted 175 patents on weather modification/weaponization technology, is it possible that the US has secretly launched geological warfare on these countries? What information does there exist that proves or disproves this theory? Hmm..you decide.


​Instructions. Comment on the following prompt: To what extent are the hurricanes and earthquakes, that have recently occurred, geological coincidences or geological conspiracies?

INCLUDE: First initial AND last name AND class period.

Respond in no more than 10 sentences and no less than five. You must also reply to TWO classmate's posts. You cannot post identical comments on different classmates' posts. Posting shallow comments such as "I agree" or "I disagree" will not earn you a passing grade. Make sure your posts address the reply that you are responding to.

Be sure to--
  • Be clear about your position
  • Provide specific support for your argument
  • Use rhetorical devices and other grammar elements
  • Write EPIC Content-Engaging, Powerful, Informative, Creative

CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school or your parents with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.
