So Far, A 2012 Apocalypse Not Out of the Question
You could have picked a worse year for prophecies about the end times. Whatever the debunkers say, the Mayans did predict that 2012 would be a time of great transformation. When you throw all the astrological stuff out the window — the silly Planet X/Niburu tin hat theories, you still have an incredibly advanced ancient civilization who understood the true nature of space and time far before any other. They most definitely predicted a major transformation around 2012. Whether this means end times or great revelations or both (or neither) is a healthy and unresolvable matter of debate.
Do we at News for End Times think the world will end in 2012? We firmly believe and can prove that it’s more likely than it’s ever been, which is to say it’s still not incredibly likely. The
The important thing to remember is that all of these grand disasters operate on grand timescales. Due to different interpretations of the Maya calendar, we don’t know for sure if 2012 marks the end of their timeline… over thousands of years, their advanced methods of time tracking were still somewhat primitive and inaccurate when iterated far into the future. All of the disasters mentioned above happen on timescales in which centuries of inaction are punctured by violent extinction level events. Remember, a 2012 apocalypse would not be the first time all life on the planet was almost wiped out.
The actual outcome will probably exist between extremes — the world will not completely ending, but there will be times when it feels like it is. Even at the hyper-accelerated time scale technology has put us on, the end times will likely happen over decades or centuries, not overnight.
Massive Radioactive Solar Outburst Headed Toward Earth, Geomagnetic Storm Imminent
An enormous solar outburst is traversing space at enormous speeds and headed straight toward our planet at this very moment. Tonight, the Earth will be bombarded with a blast of energy from the sun. Stargazers will witness some of the most spectacular Northern Lights displays of their lifetime, due to the geomagnetic disruption of the Earth’s atmosphere. At the same time, U.S. scientists and military will be closely studying the energy and communications grids for any sign of malfunction. NASA, an agency that is usually the first to debunk end-of-the-world conspiracies, has admitted in the past that if solar flares were violent enough to trigger an all-out geomagnetic maelstrom, energy and communications would be disrupted worldwide, causing a conservative $125B in damages. With a downed energy and communications grid, the world could quickly descend into TEOTWAWKI panic and do untold damage to not just the economy, but our entire civilization.
In general, humanity is very unprepared to deal with these solar phenomena. The occurrence of these coronal mass ejections is as tough to predict as their effects. I’m no scientist, so let’s let Wikipedia tell us what actually goes down in such an event:
While the experts are saying that this geomagnetic disturbance will cause only minor disruption at worst — the truth is the experts are still figuring it all out and anything is possible. We’ve come a very long way in the last 20 years toward understanding how the sun’s violent outbursts interact with our planet, but there is still much left to discover. With a giant radioactive solar wind about to enter our atmosphere, I think I’m going to stay inside tonight and double-check the emergency supplies.
