So who thinks we're going to see more crazy shit going down within the next few weeks around the 2012 dunceday?  Many unstable asshats have been stockpiling weapons and food, some of them spending their life savings, waiting for this day... When it comes and goes and they realize they're broke with no credit what do you think they may do?  Flip the fuck out thats what.  ...And with all this ammo they have laying around it kinda makes sense to lash out at the world that lied to them and take as many other humans down to hell with them as possible.  Only time will tell I guess.

I for one will be glad when this non apocalypse bs is over. But what will all the nuts talk about now? People like David Wilcock really hitched their wagons to this December 21st nonsense.

Jasmine

People of Earth! Run! Run for your lives! This planet is about to explode!"

December 22, 2012 will be like the ending of every episode of "Three's Company"..."It was all just a big misunderstanding".

       Could get worse in the USA if we reach 2013  ::)

       Hundred year anniversary of the Fed, could cause a few Jonesy fans to try to blow shit up.

i need to take my turmeric.

I'm actually looking forward to see what the next 'End Date' will be. I saw an article once which detailed a big list of dates in the past which were predicted to be the end.

If we're lucky and if there's any cosmic justice, they will hunt down the specific assholes  who preached the end-times crap and terminate only them  with extreme prejudice.

Notice how, as the date has grown closer, we've heard less about the date.   I guess the proponents figure that anyone dumb enough to have bought it at all is dumb enough to actually forget it by 21 Dec., if they just shut up for about 6 months before the date.  Then they can emerge with "credibility" intact and carry on bilking.

A friend and I have been discussing the formulation of an end times scheme.  What do you think the maximum amount of exploitation time is?  Surely the 10-or so years of the Mayan calendar exploitation is stretching things.  What was Y-2K?  About four years?

Ben Shockley

Great point, Fill, that I have considered too.   One could argue that it's never too early to start screaming about a real, expected cataclysm: the relative few years of "Y2K" mania could be attributed to the techies only noticing it a few years out.
PLUS-- the "Y2K" fears began just as the Internet was becoming a real force, and also almost necessarily, as a majority of Americans (and a large number of people around the world) really began to have some understanding of "computers."   Some knowledge of how computers can experience problems, and an uncontrolled media for speculation, were necessary for that particular "social breakdown" scenario to take hold.   So for purely technical reasons, the "Y2K" mania couldn't have begun before some time in the mid/late 1990s.

Even in cases of hucksterism, as "2012" has been, you could also argue that there is no limit.   To the extent that anyone believes in it, then right up to the "drop dead date," there is no proof that it's fake.   Yes, past a certain point, lots of people will be tired of hearing it-- but then, those were people who probably never believed it anyway, nor were they the intended market for the TV fear porn and various overpriced goods designed to make the "end of the world" a little more pleasant while it happens.   People dumb enough to believe it are probably thankful for all the lead time during which they can feel superior to the non-preppers.
The hucksters probably would have been flogging it since 1846 if enough people back then knew who "the Maya" were.

we should start a Mayan calendar end date countdown: only 4 more days to go...
i heard the actual event time on 12/21/2012 is supposed to be at 11:11 GMT?

ItsOver

11:11 GMT???  Uh, oh, here comes that "evil" number again.  It's everywhere!  Jorch must be freaking out.  ::)

Do you remember the Mayans said that December 21st is supposed to be a kind of mass consciousness spread around the world? Yea they were right. The mass consciousness was nothing more than a created end date by them which gets everybody aware of it. How clever...


Yorkshire pud

I'm ashamed (well almost!) to say that one Youtube asshole channel member who really pushes the boat out on the doomsday shit, is (I'm fairly sure) English. His name is appropriately 'Endtimes23'. He's posted dozens of videos, some with his Joe Cool shades, all wearing a baseball cap of some description. He talks into a hand held mic, and seems to be reading from a script-presumably so he doesn't trip himself up.

Needless to say, ANY (and I mean any) criticism, descent or even a question that might not fully endorse his total bollox, is met with swift blocking-ask me how I know! And therefore naturally the only comments you'll read are the ones that he agrees with and support his bollox. He even has a web site, (This guy really does believe!)..I sincerely hope he's sterile, and can't reproduce, the outcome might be truly horrible.

Interesting article linked at the drudge report today:
If the Mayan prophecy is true, just how might it all end on Friday?

Scientists foretell the cataclysms that could bring on Doomsday:
Comet or super-volcano named as most likely causes of the end of the world
Pet dogs could transmit deadly plague of cancers carried by foxes



ItsOver

I believe it will still be December 21st in Hawaii, as C2C comes to an end for the Friday show.  Just creeping close to midnight in Honolulu.  What happens like clockwork, every Friday night at that time when Jorch is hosting?

Maybe the world goes out due to a whimpering, sniveling song, instead of a big bang?

To me the important thing about 12/21/12 is that George Noory retires.

analog kid

Remaining Mayans will be celebrating the new year on the 21st (winter solstice), while George Noory listeners will be hording turmeric and Beanie Weenies.

that may have been what the Mayans forsaw for the end of this age, and the start of a new age with a new host?
but Noory screwed it all up by changing his retirement plans a few years back, unless something unforeseen causes him to retire suddenly?  8)

no it don't its just a calendar.. and a new cycle will start.. thats all..

just like a new year.

Carl Johan Calleman has a different theory about the Mayan calendar ending's meaning.  He considers the calendar to be a timeline of evolving human consciousness.  It's a fascinating and plausible theory that coincides with similar theories on consciousness by Ken Wilber and Thomas Keating.

The Mayan calendar's Long Count does end, but not this month.  it already ended last October 28, 2011 according to Calleman's estimation.  The end of the Long Count calendar means the coming to completion of evolving consciousness with the emergence of its final unitive phase -- what Calleman identified in the calendar as the Universal Underworld of the Mayans.  It also signifies the end of the human dualistic state of consciousness.

Seen any Mayans Christmas shopping?  ;D

Are we nearly there yet? I have a few hundred tons of soil in a heap in the garden. I've made inroads into making the shelter from a few doors, several white sheets, some duck tape, a couple oof dozen twigs and an old fridge door...Will this be sufficient? Yours in anticipation.


HorrorRetro

Ha!  With the day and week I've had, that weather forecast looks quite nice.

Juan

I'm on an old time email list.  Just heard the first reports from New Zealand - all is well so far.

You didn't forget the hotdogs, burgers, marshmellows and Hershey's chocolate did you? From the forecast, I won't even have to light up any coals - just stick whatever out there on a long stick. I'm planning on a cookout but will probably have to have the sprinklers on and wet down my roof - probably the inside as well. Probably grab the neighbors hose(s) and use his water as well, sticking them through some windows. Disappointed in that it'll probably be warm beer I'll have to drink but hey, its beer.

They're not evil enough to be high on the list. The USA has to be on top so we'll be the first. We're #1 BOOOOYAH !!!

Calleman's just another crank.  As his end date of Oct 28, 2011, he already started to back-pedal, saying that stuff he predicted may not happen, it was more of a phase, and that it could take longer.

My blog, on the other hand, has had its traffic double month-over-month and over the past 48 hours steadily increase as people keep searching for comfort.
