Bugarach Update
June 29, 2011
Bugarach is the French village favored by some 2012ers as a survival location, mentioned here late last year (Bugarach: First 2012er Cluster Point) with the mayor seemingly “complaining” as a publicity stunt.
The village is back in the news, via an article at CNN, and others:
The specter of a mass suicide tied to the widely predicted end of the world in December 2012 has prompted a warning from a government official in France, where people are already gathering at a place believers predict may provide the only escape from the apocalypse.
Georges Fenech, president of French government agency Miviludes, which observes sect movements and warns the public of potential risks, told CNN that he had alerted French public authorities, including the prime minister, to the issue.
…According to Miviludes, settlements in the surrounding area have been established by members of the American Ramtha School of Enlightenment. The head of this presumed sect, Judy Zebra Knight, claims be in contact with Ramtha, a Lemurean warrior who fought the residents of the mythical Atlantis 35,000 years ago.
She has delivered messages about the 2012 apocalypse in front of thousands of followers in the United States, according to Miviludes.
…Properties are being bought in surrounding isolated areas and construction of bunkers with underground tunnels and food supplies has also been noted, according to Miviludes.

The Scotsman adds:
Bugarach (population 200), has long been considered magical, partly due to what locals claim is an “upside-down mountain” where the top layers of rock are older than the lower ones.
It will be interesting to see if any suicide cults arise from the 2012 meme, or, if governments wrongly label one as such.
