World War 3 isn’t currently under way (at least not officially), but if it were to happen I believe these fake WWIII propaganda posters speak the truth about the power behind the spread of information in the virtual world. The continual access to relevant and correct information is no doubt going to make a big difference in driving support — or disgust — against a particular side in a conflict. Check out the rest of the Flickr photoset to see some posters about the power behind Twitter.

BBG linked to a Google Maps image of the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona and I was immediately fascinated by how many airplanes and jets were collected in that field in the desert.
I went ahead and looked up the area in Google Earth instead and found a bit more information and detail about the place. Plus, Google Earth allows you the ability to backtrack through a timeline to compare dated maps with the current map, and it’s fun to see the number of airplanes go down and up over the years. If you’ve got the newest Google Earth installed, it’s worth checking out the area. It really does look like a massive pattern on the ground from the sky due to the sheer amount of planes on the ground.
The Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is also home to the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, and it has garnered the nickname “The Boneyard” for the out of service aircraft that collects on its base. If I ever get clearance to go in here, I’d have a field day taking pictures. Cool huh!
