I am not an expert user of Google Earth (it has poor coverage in my geographic area so I don't use if often). If anyone who is an expert is inclined to investigate the claims made in this article, it would be interesting to get an opinion as to their validity.

Very graphically challenged website. Can’t see what they are talking about on the map and they don’t offer a click to enlarge option so it can seen.

Given that the article provides exactly zero information on where to find the information (really, how hard would it have been to provide a link to the map at the appropriate zoom?), I am going to step out on a limb and call BS.
I will happily come back on the thread and mea culpa to hell and back if this is actually true.

If you page back real fast, you'll get an Arabic message that says "Paul is dead"...............

That’s interesting. I live in a semi-rural area of Florida (well, I live on the coast, but you go 20 minutes inland and it’s extremely rural) and there are little mosques all over the place out there, even though there are no Muslims. They have bought up unused rural churches and put up signs turning them into “mosques.”
Also, Jacksonville has a huge mosque built right next to the highway. I wonder if these Arabic words indicate the location of mosques?
They’re taking us over and we’re just sleeping through it.

"It's a bug. When the primary place name isn't available, for whatever reason, an alternate name (irrelevant favorite example of an alternate name) is displayed instead. Arabic is usually the first alternate language, alphabetically, so that's the name that appears."

I don’t doubt for one second that this is true. Also, if you play backwards “Revolution 9” by The Beatles, you can hear quite distinctly, “Paul is dead”.

Here's one that really creeps me out. Look at the bottom-center of the image.

Can anyone translate?
