This is interesting!


When you click on the website link below, a world map comes up showing what strange & dangerous things are happening right now in every country in the entire world & is updated every few minutes. You can move the map around, zero in on any one area & actually up-load the story of what is going on.

This \"map\" updates every 300 seconds...constantly 24/7.

Click on any icon on the map for text update information.

just terrorism eh? I think that makes it pretty likely this is by some \"Commies & Terrorism & Muslims oh my!\" organisation - you know, the rightwing nutter idiots. Or at least attracts them.

By comparison there is a Google Earth plugin that automatically sorts news reports in realtime looking for place-names - which is then places on the Google Earth map. Rather groovy coz it's all automated.

Whereas this \"Global Incident Map\" will more likely rely on fox-watching fear addicts trying to report on everyone who looks Muslim in their area.
