I’ve been doing a TON of research on Google today about 2012. Fine, maybe not a ton. Just a little bit. Why? Because my ex-husband scares the shit out of me, that’s why.
For a couple years now, he has been preaching to everyone who will listen to him(which really, isn’t many because everyone tunes him out and labels him a loon) about all this shit that is going to hit the fan. He has been doing some “research” on Google to support all his paranoid predictions. And let me tell you, all the crazies in the world hang out on Google and Youtube, researching insane stuff like this. Except for us bloggers, of course. We just hang out on Twitter posting cute videos and cool links.
He claims that all movies are telling us about the collapse of the world. With wide eyes and frantic hands, he rants about concentration camps being built within the U.S and it’s not just the Jews that are going to be placed in these. He goes on and on about aliens walking amongst us, and I’m not talking about people from other countries. He tells tall tales of HAART controlling our weather. He is sure that the Free Masons are up to no good and we are all doomed. And convincingly relays to us global economic catastrophes causing the greatest depression in 2012.
Is he nuts? I like to think he needs to be on medication for paranoid delusions.
But. I went on Twitter yesterday to announce that my ex-husband is a whack job because of paranoia about doomsday 2012. And someone told me to Google George Celente.
I did. And I must admit, I had nightmares last night. Horrific ones. I’m not going to go into detail but…wowzers.
Long story short. This George dude is a trend tracker. He allegedly predicted the stock market crash of 1987 up to this whole Madoff Ponzi shit. He…this Mr. Celente…claims that in 2012, we will have a crash unprecedented by any other crash. Economic collapse unlike anything anyone has ever seen before. He also claims that in 2012, our main concern will be feeding our families because there will be a food war.
OK. Fine.
But then. If you Google 2012. There are so many predictions about that year. Starting, of course, with that crazy Mayan end of the world prediction. Earthquakes, tsunamis, fire shooting out of the sky. Every natural disaster you can think of. In one fail swoop.
I’m just hoping it’s quick and painless.
There is the Timewave Zero and the iChing predictions which say something about some sort of “singularity of infinite complexity” in 2012. At which point, “anything and everything imaginable will occur instantaneously”. Thank you, wikipedia. Another great source of viable and dependable information.
That’s all fine and dandy. If you can even understand what that means. Quite honestly, if I don’t get what this is saying, it can’t happen, So, we’re safe.
Then we have Polar shifts and massive solar flares predicted for December 21, 2012. Just like that movie with Nicolas Cage, Premonition, I think it was called. A ridiculous movie.
We also have Planet Nibiru colliding with the Earth, obviously between planets colliding and solar flares, we can expect some delays in traffic and very warm weather.
Then there is Planet X coming back into orbit which will disrupt our Solar System…causing a major global and intergalactic catastrophe. And obviously, there is no way to survive something like that. Especially if we mix it with complete economic collapse, earthquakes, solar flares, food wars, nuclear war, web bot projects, planets crashing into us.
And really? I didn’t know there was a Planet X or Nibiru in existence. I did know that one of our planets isn’t a planet anymore though. Except, it doesn’t matter which one if we are all about to smash into each other. We’ll all be space particles, stars and asteroids anyways.
Then, of course, we have Obamageddon.
Gah.
All of these events that will cause the world to end. They are predicted for December 21, 2012.
That’s a LOT of shit happening on one day.
So please, someone, remind me to change my underwear that day. Assuming I was allowed to bring any when I was taken to the concentration camps. OK?
Oh dang. I’m also going to have to make sure to schedule my son’s 9th birthday party, which is December 23, 2012, for the week before all this stuff happens. He shouldn’t get screwed out of a birthday party, right?! I mean, it’s not his fault all this crap is going to happen…
Ack. Please don’t feed my anxiety. It’s already hyped enough right now as it is…
Wait. So maybe this means I don’t have to freak out about how f*cked up my children will be due to my divorce? Because they won’t survive long enough to show it?
Hmm…
(I know. I’m so sick.)

Couple of things…
It’s called HAARP and it does it exist; located in Alaska. It’s primary focus is to determine what type of effect focused radio frequency radiation can have on the upper atmosphere. It’s been known that this concentration can cause heating, which in turns can actually modify weather. Now, whether it’s to the extreme that some people claim, well that’s another story for another day.
The FEMA camps are pretty real, what they are going to be used for is anyone’s guess.
The magnetic pole shift is real and has in fact happened before. There’s evidence in lava forms and types of rock that formed during this shift that show the orientation of the magnetic pole in the crystals that form. What effect this might have on Earth, no one can say for sure.
In 2003 we had the strongest solar flare ever recorded, an X-21+. It was strong enough to actually cause auroras in Ann Arbor (I actually bailed on work to go home and watch). Solar flares and their implications are very, very real. Think of the Midwest blackout, only worse.
And lastly, Nibiru _is_ ‘Planet X’, at least to Sitchen and Martell. As it turns out, the research done by both men is flawed as they wrongly interpret Aramaic texts that they propose are written in Hebrew. Check out Michael Heiser on where they go wrong.
What WILL happen is that the 13th Baktun will end (that’s part of the Mayan calendar) and we will enter a new age. This new age is the next zodiac sign, which is the sign of Aquarius. These signs can actually be identified in the bible: the ram in the old testament is the sign of Taurus, Jesus hands out fish and is the fisherman, the sign of Pisces, and the entering the house of the bringer of water, the sign of Aquarius.
So do I follow this stuff, sure, but always with a healthy dose of skepticism. I think the bigger message is that we should be critical of anything we’re told because it’s probably not the truth. The bottom line is that there are very real connections to these things, it’s just the wackjobs and easily persuaded that talk of death and destruction.
Then again, they could all be right. One of the best ways to hide the truth is to attach it zealots and then call them blasphemers, or, in this case, domestic terrorists.
Hard to say what’s the truth anymore, but I guess we’ll all know in about 3 years, right?
um, whoa.

Thanks for scaring me to pieces. I am with you in the quick and painless thing if something does happen!

Whatever! Seriously if we listened to all the crazies during Y2K…we would all be dead, no banking systems or horrible disasters??? Its all crazy…I doubt anything will kill us all quickly…it will be a slllllooooowwwww lonnnng death little by little…our planet, our economy, our own bodies…:etc. Quick would be too easy.
“La La La La La La.” That’s me sticking my fingers in my ears to tune out the badness. Andrew’s response made me feel better though.
I think I’m going to ignore it all and hope nothing happens…but maybe stash some extra pennies just in case.

We learned a lot more of this when we visited the Mayan ruins of Tulum, in Mexico.
In fact, I was so fascinated that my hubby and I are going to plan a trip to be there on that date. Right at Tulum. I mean it is tropical, I can suntan right before so I can look fabulous when I die. If I don’t die by midnight, I can have the Cabana boy bring me another Pina Colada at the beach resort we are going to book…because something tells me that there will be a HELLUVA party going on there more than at anywhere else in the world!!!
Who’s with me? Should we have a Blogger reunion there at the same time????
C’mon guys!!!

Since there is nothing I can do one way or the other to change the future, I can’t get too worked up over it. I’ll fret when something does/doesn’t happen.
.-= Tara R.´s last blog ..SkyWatch Friday ~ season 4, edition 17 =-.
I, too, have a family member who spends great deals of time studying this and worrying that we will all die if we don’t take the proper steps to save ourselves. I feel bad that this person can’t enjoy today. We all could be dead tomorrow, forget about 2012. Like Tara R. says, there isn’t anything we can do about solar flares and planet shifts and other stuff, so just let it go.
Still, I”ll probably have a nightmare tonight.

I agree with most of them up there….I refuse to stress until it’s right in my face. I have more than enough to stress about, thanks anyway! But help me remember to schedule my daughter’s b-day party early that year too, since hers is 12/19. 😉
First may I say, “give me a fucking break.” Secondly, I heard a whole thing about this on the BBC world news several weeks ago which prompted me to write this: http://livefromthefence.blogspot.com/2009/10/nothing-to-worry-about.html in which I basically say again, “give me a fucking break.” But you guys should read it. At least you may get a laugh out of all this world ending hysteria…

Lawdy, lawdy, lawdy! This shit sounds exactly like what the holy rollers have been proclaiming for years. They were certain the world was ending at midnight Y2K, and, when the lights didn’t flicker and they weren’t taken in a rapture, the loons acted disappointed.
I’ve heard all kinds of crazy from my sister and her wacko cultish church – from special chips being implanted in people to guillotines being used to kill those who refuse to take “the number”…it really is enough to make a person nuts if ya listen to it too long!
Wowza!

I’m totally going to start smoking. If the world is going to end, why not?
I logged onto your website for the first time today only to find that the world is coming to an end. I’m with Donna. Bring on the vices. Kids, its ice cream for breakfast EVERYDAY. As for me, I plan to start my day with a martini. Please keep us informed and for the love of all that is good, don’t disappoint my martini breakfasts by telling us it isn’t real.

That is a funny cool article. I am kinda on your husband’s side though I don’t rant and rave about it…lol I keep it to my self. I just take in all the info and let it settle and decide for myself what is true and what is not. I do believe something extremely dramatic is going to occur. And the Planet X thing I believe is real. I think how much destruction it does is being exaggerated. But it may not be all bad. Most of the stuff on Google and you tube is negative but there are a few things that they say are going to actually be positive. I don’t think its going to be a fluke like the Y2K thing. There to many signs from to many cultures besides the mynas that point to something happening in 2012.
Hopefully it will be something good. If not I will try to survive and so should all of us.

I saw a documentary on this 2012 stuff…which just happened to coincide with the release of the movie strangely enough. They traced back predictions from the Mayan civilization through to Nostradamus. They had literally 20 or so people talking about it and all of them had written books on the subject. And they didn’t look like nut jobs hording baked beans in their nuclear shelter…more like pipe smoking, jacket wearing university professors. I got the distinct feeling that they thought it was a good intellectual exercise to postulate on this or that but didn’t really believe it would happen. I guess it’s human nature to say out of site out of mind and explains why people still live on the foothills of active volcanoes or above massive tectonic fault lines.
I am really interested in the theories behind the end of the world predictions and have been researching it for 3 years now. The comments that you have given here is great. Does anybody know of any good sites where I can get even more information on the end of the world beliefs.
