Over at the excellent KickStarter is a project that might appeal to 2012ers out there.
Shift of the Ages is seeking $125,000 in the next three weeks to finish their film, and get it out to festivals and audiences. They already have pledges of $28,000 from over 200 backers. Pledge $20 or more and you get a copy of the DVD before the general public get to see it. Higher pledges with wonderful things are also listed.
The Shift of the Ages film is a true and authentic story of the Maya, the Mayan Calendar, 2012 and the turbulent times in which we are living. Compelling and timely, this story is told through living Grand Elder, Wandering Wolf, also known as Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj.

Last year Owensboro resident James Birkhead, 52, plead guilty to possession and manufacture of explosive materials.
Birkhead feared a global cataclysm after watching the blockbuster movie 2012, and decided to make home-made bombs for self defense. Consequently a social worker, who was concerned for the safety of Birkhead´s daughters, alerted the ATF. A raid of the home by ATF agents and police found bomb making materials, including: PVC piping, caps, and black powder.
In March he was sentenced to 5½ months jail.
