2012 in Mainstream Media Again

January 29, 2009

This week a good number of Americans will have become exposed to the 2012 meme, if they hadn’t already heard of it….

New York Post, Jan 282012: The End is Nigh!

Mark Dec. 21, 2012 on your calendar. That’s the exact day that lots of normally sane people believe some disaster will befall our planet – and not the kind of annoying everyday disaster like your cable going out or Ethan Hawke writing another novel. We’re talking Biblical proportions – the end of life on Earth as we know it.

…He may not be the cheeriest fellow, but Geryl is committed. In Belgium, he’s formed a survival group of about 20 people who plan on buying land in Africa to start building the foundation for a new society. That will be after the Earth’s magnetic poles suddenly shift, causing a new Ice Age.

CNN, Jan 27: Apocalypse in 2012? Date spawns theories, film

Fueled by a crop of books, Web sites with countdown clocks, and claims about ancient timekeepers, interest is growing in what some see as the dawn of a new era, and others as an expiration date for Earth: December 21, 2012.

Type “2012″ into an Internet search engine and you’ll find survival guides, survival schools, predictions and “official stuff” to wear, including T-shirts with slogans such as “2012 The End” and “Doomsday 2012.”

Theories about what might happen range from solar storms triggering volcano eruptions to a polar reversal that will make the Earth spin in the opposite direction.

    If the movie is based on the end of the Mayan calendar 02.21.2012 then we have to investigate what did the end meant for them, some say it is the re-birth, but nontheless it is the end of a 5126 year cycle, key word cycle. so life will continue, but who knows what changes we'll have to face.

    We've entered a new Dark Age. People will believe anything. I weep for the future. Our stupidity will kill us all, not a polar shift. There are real threats to the human race to worry about: Islamic Terrorism for instance.

    it never ceases to amaze me how people are so arrogant that they dismiss or affirm a point of view without any real comprehension of the subject matter.I neither agree nor disagree with some 2012 theories however i feel it more befitting to inquire and look further into the matter objectively and then reach a conclusion acknowledging the fact that i may still be wrong.

    Shoot I believe it. Nothing in life is guaranteed even planet earth. Don't be narrow minded just be prepared for anything. Maybe life wont be extinct but I think something definetly will happen. Go on nasa.home and read about it. There also saying there will be an exact alignment on that year, and they aren't sure what will happen to human existance. So just be prepared!!!!

    we have been in the dark times a long time chappie, people have been believing in gods and doom since records of our current historys began and that of the other historys prior to their 2012 cataclysm, but, small minded outlooks at time and advancement say a starship materialises of our earth made of light its crew are 180 ft tall and have a singular lifespan of 9000000 our years and one of thier days was equal to 24660 , they have existed for billions of years and in terms of progression in advancement of tecnology they are millions of years ahead of us. islamaphobia , most folks are media led and only see these things on tv in far away islamic lands where they live the way they live, not my way but i dont live their so i have no need to worry of it and if a muslim or christian as they are one and the same a weak mindeslave to the masters of the book gods of global territorial elitism, thats why the judiac christondom corporates of america has deamonised islam, its a territorial stratagy to make one book god and his laws and decrees rule over all in the NWO one world goverment.9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB AND MARTIAL LAW AND NUCLEAR ATTACKS WILL ARISE FROM 100 MISSING RUSSIAN NUCLEAR SUITCASE BOMBS

    Islamic Terrorism is a smokescreen, it doesn't exist. American clandestine, political terrorism, on the other hand, DOES exist. Research it for yourself…you'll see.

    Filomena just found the New York Post article wrapped around an Easter pascal candle. She says "Sorry, I’m just upset. The New York Post reporter’s name is not important. We’ll call him Reed Tucker. He says we’re heading for a 2012 disaster of Biblical proportions. I’ve written about the 2012 paranoia in gringolandia here in the blog before, but Tucker, I mean the anonymous Post reporter, goes on to say ‘if you’re looking for someone to blame, and rightfully so, search no further than the Mayans'.

    "Can you believe that!? The gall of him! Blame the Mayans? Don’t they have laws there in North America about libel and hate crimes?"

    You can read the rest of her reaction on the blog

    I have researched it. Go to jihadwatch.com for daily reports on Islamic terror. Research what the islamic world thinks of US. 70% of muslims "understand" the actions behind 9/11.

  11. Kevin on March 24th, 2009 12:44 pm

    I took a look at the website you recommended but it seems to me that the material presented there is just fodder to promote the existing fear, confusion, and misunderstanding regarding terrorism. The reports completely disregard the truth that Islamic terrorism is a creation of the financial and political elite of this world. This is exactly the sort atmosphere warmongers and profiteers thrive on in order to maintain conflict and 'righteously' seize power and control worldwide. I find many Muslim ideologies odd and backward; however, Muslim people in general are no less blind sheep than Americans in the supposed war on terrorism. The real enemies are hidden from public view, not in caves, or bunkers or mosques. I doubt that 70% of Muslims know the truth as you suggest.

  12. YRM on March 26th, 2009 5:25 pm

    A number of sites online are tracking the 2012 phenomenon, including armageddononline.org. There's also a new "2012 Survival Guide" at TheCityEdition.com. Here's a direct link, if anyone's interested.

    Hey.

    Guess what.

    It's not gonna happen. Do you really believe that 6 billion people are going to die in four years? Because some ancient civilizations calendar runs out? WHY would you believe the word of a people who sacrificed up to FIVE-HUNDRED HUMAN BEINGS at a time to a SUN GOD. Seriously. What's more, geologists have PROVEN there are dates BEYOND 2012. What's more still, NO ONE seems to be able to get the dates right. You have some folks saying it's the 12th. Some say the 21st. Others say the 23rd.

    Look at how many cults have said the earth was going to end on certain days. Look a Nostradumbass' theories. If his "prophecies" were true, we should've fought WWIII back in 99'. Remember Y2K? Yeah. We're all dead aren't we. All the machines turned off and we all died. THAT had more of a chance of happening than ANY of this 2012 BS. Polar reversals takes MILLIONS and MILLIONS of years. "Planet-X" is gonna smash into us? Please. Quit finding creative ways to write about the end of the world and go do something important with your lives. Or at least go out and get laid or something.

    Lastly and most importantly, if we're all going to die, what the hell does it matter? Do you really want to live on a planet with like 10 people? Be a man, grow some balls. If we ARE going to die (which we aren't) just suck it up and deal with it. We all gotta go someday. If you all think we are ALL going to go on the same day, just face your mortality and party hard for the next four years.

    Or you can do what you're doing now, which to me, looks like trying to form a civilization of mole people. "Beneath Planet of The Apes 2" anyone?

    in the middle of our galaxy is an black hole?! so what!!, Well, in 21/12/2012 the black hole is perfect aligned with the earth, that will cause majour disturbences with earth's gravitational pole. And we could actually get much volcanic arruption more natural disaster's and so on.

  15. KSM on May 7th, 2009 3:28 am

    YOU ARE ALL WRONG! What is up with all this doom and gloom?!?! 2012 is our collective destination! Xeamo is correct about the giant black hole at the center of our galaxy, and YES on December 21, 2012 our closest Star (the Sun), the Earth, and our Solar System will all be in perfect alignment with the Center of our Milky Way Galaxy because of an astronomical phenomenon known as "The Precession of the Equinoxes" The center of our galaxy is the source of ALL CREATION! All the billions of stars and everything else that exists is and was created inside this black hole… AS WE APPROACH 2012, we are being bombarded with high concentrations of protons emanating from the galactic center! Have you not noticed HOW BRIGHT everything looks when you really immerse yourself in what you are perceiving?! Hell, just look at what quantum physics teaches us: EVERYTHING IS LIGHT!!! ALL THAT EXISTS IS LIGHT!!! People all over the world are waking up in mass numbers to their true identity: BEINGS OF LIGHT! We are entering the Golden Age…

  16. biff on June 6th, 2009 1:23 pm

    do you really believe there the dinasours were knocked out by an extinction event. i suppose you dont lol. wow people's closemindedness is foolish. perfect example.

  17. biff on June 6th, 2009 4:30 pm

    remember you say " joke". and know that from a psychological aspect, laughter is a sign of fear. so as you may be laughing like a cackling heyena that fear wil keep you from rational thought process or genuine contemplation of any situation regardless of the focal point.

  18. 1PLAY on June 12th, 2009 4:10 am

    i like the way u think we all have to die someday, just enjoy life as it is, and i hate when people say if the world ends im going to miss you. i just have to say, nobody knows the exact day and im definitely not believing an ancient civilization that couldnt predict their own demise

  19. John on June 21st, 2009 7:27 am

    Wow. I can't believe I stumbled across this and furthermore can't beleive I'm posting this. You guys are weird. The only comment I have is that if you really truly believe that the world is going to end in 2012 what are you doing wasting time writing about it. Why don't you try to make a difference in the world with the "little time we have letft". People are suffring right now FOR REAL. Try to make a difference…

  20. Jordan on June 25th, 2009 4:56 am

    Have you been in the military and seen first hand that this doesn't exist? Neither have I. Until I get in, I'm not going to argue it, and neither should you.

  21. Jordan on June 25th, 2009 4:58 am

    Oh boy, I can't wait until that date comes so all of these theories will be gone! We'll wake up on Dec. 22, 2012, and realize that we're all still here. Then what will these conspiracy theorists say?

  22. teena on June 29th, 2009 4:31 am

    First, terrorism does exist. Second, only radical Muslims are terrorists. These are people who have been brainwashed and subjected to propaganda their whole life. Third, polls are erroneous and subjective…study psychology and you'll understand the way a question is worded completely changes the actual question. So if you say "understand", well, I understand the actions behind 9/11 but that doesn't mean anything besides I have a comprehension level fit for any thinking adult.

    Its saddens and sickens me to witness such naivety in our society. If the world ends, it will be because of humankind.

  23. john dayliy on July 21st, 2009 6:41 pm

    but they did

  24. john dayliy on July 21st, 2009 6:48 pm

    they will have a new way for it to end

  25. john dayliy on July 21st, 2009 7:20 pm

    anything that makes you feel terror can be said to be an act of terrorism. it is easier to do that to someone you don't know i know that i did not feel the same level of fear as those who where in ny at 9/11 with me in Montana they where on the other side of the country the more differences they have from me they less it effects me how they might feel. i can only think with those in the middle east have the same mind set effects them. as it dose with all humans. like those who call them by bad names. that just make them less relevant . they don't need to see anything or be told anything. to dismiss them as bad or wrong. when they are just pepole.

    "Oh boy, I can't wait until that date comes so all of these theories will be gone! We'll wake up on Dec. 22, 2012, and realize that we're all still here. Then what will these conspiracy theorists say?"

    ….the theorists will say one of 2 things…

    "I told you so".. or OH MY GOD I"M DYING A HORRIBLE HORIBLE DEATH BY THE HANDS OF MAYAN EXPLODING VOLCANOES, WATERY TSUNAMY INDUCING HURRICANES, POLE SHIFTING CATACLYSMS, PLANET KILLING CELESTIAL BODIES, BLACK HOLED GALAXY DESTROYERS, ALIEN CROP CIRCLE PICTURES AND WORLD GOVERNMENT RAPING AN PILLAGING… oh AND SNAKE PEOPLE!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

  28. George on August 27th, 2009 11:24 pm

    Best comment on this forum, well said john. Why are all you fear mongering assholes going about your life normally if you truly believe that this will happen? GROW UP!

  29. LMB on September 28th, 2009 12:44 pm

    Hi KSM…I agree with you!…i have also noticed that i am searching for my true identity..like a real nudginging to follow a 'life purpose'..have you seen 'The voice" by David Sereda?…all about how humanity is about to make a quantum leap and about how only collective consciousness of love in humans could actually change weather patterns…currently we have experienced a collective cons. of greed…so check it out!…i think people should maybe just be grateful for what they have to create a positive shift in themselves…this is what i am doing on a daily basis…hard tho with so many problems around…..good luck and thanks for a positive comment

  30. LMB on September 28th, 2009 12:53 pm

    Hi John…you are so right!…this is what we must do…just 'doing unto others as we would have to ourselves' actually changes your whole body chemistry…it creates 'light' around you making you happier and others too…this doom and gloom is spreading fear…we,as a humanity ,sure are lame..why did someone not tell me these things when i was 5!…all the best!

  31. ksm on September 28th, 2009 6:16 pm

    i have not seen "the voice" but i will certainly look into it! we are indeed about to make a quantum leap, in fact many of us already have! and it is our job to help "AWAKEN" humanity to their true identity: IMMORTAL BEINGS OF LIGHT! love and light as we approach our collective destiny: dec 21, 2012——-> our Ascension into the 5th Dimension of Light and Love peace

    I am a scientist and a marine engineer. It is known in the astrological community that is "is illegal" to gaze at a certain place in the sky. Case in point – the arrest of an astrologer and the confiscation of all his data in Australia in 2004. The conspiracy is not just to keep peeps misinformed but to keep us immobile as well… the financial and housing crises upon us make it impossible for the masses to migrate in response to this up-coming global catastrophy. This soon-to-be-known-to-all phenomenon IS KNOWN NOW to the government so the obvious question is, "Why do they keep it a secret?"

Got something to say?
