2012 Mayan Endtimes Prophecy. Day 6 and Counting…
So 6 days until the biggest day of the year. 7 days if you count the day AFTER December 21, 2012. Perhaps we should make December 13 a Holiday! I can see it now, December 23 parties, December 23 trivia games, December 13 greeting cards, and we can do it every year forever! December 23 will be the next great American holiday, right there with President’s Day and Arbor Day. T-shirts saying, “I made it past the Mayan Doomsday 2012, but all I got was this shirt!”
6 days to go. Will YOU be READY for Ascension on the space pods?
2012 MAYAN PROPHECY ENDTIMES. DAY 7 AND COUNTING…
McKanna’s Timewave Graph. An amazing testament to one man’s desire to create the evidence that makes him right.
What we have with this specious New Age quackery called the “Mayan Prophecy Endtimes 2012,”is a case of wishful thinking, bad science, junk philosophy and drugs. Jose Arguelles (dubbed, an “academic shaman,” whatever that meant) published “The Mayan Factor” back in 1987. Arguelles was not an expert in Mayan culture. He was however, prepared to say what he believed and insisted his beliefs were true. Many New Age authors follow this practice. Eckhart Tolle being one of the most glaring example. So when Arguelles claimed that it was proper to treat Mayan legend as “history,”it was very easy for him to claim the Mayans were from another planet, and it was just as easy to get many people believe it. Arguelles also claimed that the Mayans would return on December 21, 2012 apparently to bring about the cosmic “shift” in consciousness.
Fortunately for Arguelles, he died in 2011 before his prophecy could be debunked, pulled apart and discredited on December 21, 2012. He would have endured the same “perp walk” that Rapture prophet Harold Camping had to endure.
The other giant of the propagation of the Mayan Prophecy was also not an expert on Mayan culture. Terrence McKenna devised his 2012 theories through the use of hallucinogenics (mushrooms) and throwing the I-Ching. That’s right. According to Nowick Gray,
“The theory of Timewave Zero was revealed to Terence by an alien intelligence following a bizarre, quasi-psychedelic experiment conducted in the Amazon jungle in Colombia in 1971.”[1]
McKenna’s notion (which he predictably promulgated as fact) was that somehow, December 21, 2012 was an attractor or an end-point of time – a singularity that time rushed towards. McKenna used and manipulated all sorts of mathematical sequence to prove it, yet ultimately honed in on the Mayan 2012 thing.
So there you have it. The Mayan 2012 phenomenon was begun decades ago by dilettante hippies who probably took too many drugs. The amazing thing is that on the scantiest of evidence, people around the world are gripped in fear and irrationality, contemplating suicide, building escape boats or burning through their life savings. The Mayan Prophecy and soon to be BUST will hopefully make believers a little more suspicious of New Age religion and the high-minded myths promulgated as truths.

2012 Mayan EndTimes Prophecy. Day 8 and Counting
NASA is at it again. The American Space Agency has released a video meant to be a Nyah, Nyah, Nyah, Nyah video allegedly to be released the day after the Mayan Apocalypse! The social networks were less concerned about the content of NASA’s video and focus more on why the video was released 10 days early. With only 8 days left to the planet, it seems the blogosphere is getting quite antsy. At the beginning of 2012, this blog foresaw the ridiculous antics that would emerge as the hallowed date drew nearer and nearer. So, submitted for your approval:
IT’S not the end of the world, but it is embarrassing.
NASA scientists are so sure that the Mayan Apocalypse won’t happen, they’ve made a video saying “We told you so”.
Only problem is, they released it 10 days too soon.
The video looks like it was meant to be aired on December 22, the day after the Mayan Apocalypse.
Titled The World Didn’t End Yesterday, the four-minute clip explains how the idea of the Mayan Apocalypse is a huge hoax and how the rumours began.
But, as several bloggers have pointed out, if the video was meant to be seen on December 22, the day after the Mayan Apocalypse, why release it 10 days early?
Was it a genuine mistake? Or are the NASA boffins unsure about whether anyone would be around to see the video on December 22?
2012 Mayan Endtimes Prophecy. Day 16 and Counting…
16 more days until the end of the world. I’m sure that everyone is excited and awaiting the Endtimes with expectant enthusiasm, although I’m sure there exists doubtful minds that consider the Mayan 2012 Endtimes prophecy as a farce and a deception.
Which of course it is. Think of the Mayan 2012 Endtimes Prophecy as the New Age’s version of the Christian Rapture. The rapture in turn was another metaphysical speculation based on passages of the Book of Revelations.
2012 Mayan Prophecy Endtimes. 17 Days and Counting…
Usually, I am loath to believe anything the US Government has to say about ANYTHING. But I had to smile and nod in agreement at the USA.gov blog today. For those of you who dislike clicking links, here’s the kibosh:
Scary Rumors about the World Ending in 2012 Are Just Rumors
False rumors about the end of the world in 2012 have been commonplace on the Internet for some time. Many of these rumors involve the Mayan calendar ending in 2012 (it won’t), a comet causing catastrophic effects (definitely not), a hidden planet sneaking up and colliding with us (no and no), and many others.The world will not end on December 21, 2012, or any day in 2012.
Unfortunately, these rumors have many people frightened, especially children. NASA has received thousands of letters concerned about the end of the world. David Morrison, a planetary astronomer and senior scientist for NASA who answers questions from the public about astrobiology, says, “At least a once a week I get a message from a young person ― as young as 11 ― who says they are ill and/or contemplating suicide because of the coming doomsday.”
According to NASA, the old mystery-planet-collision rumor year was 2003, but when 2004 arrived safely, the rumors changed to 2012. So what end-of-the-world year will the rumor mill make up next?
Let me guess… someone will get the populace worried about the year 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, etc., you watch. And there will be countless people who will toss common sense aside and blindly chase after the folly of the day. If Religion and Metaphysical speculation can ever be put aside, superstitions like the Mayan Prophecy can die a merciful death. What a glorious day that will be.
2012 Mayan Prophecy Countdown. 18 Days and Counting…
Here’s an interesting story from the New Yawk Times.
MOSCOW — There are scattered reports of unusual behavior from across Russia’s nine time zones.
Inmates in a women’s prison near the Chinese border are said to have experienced a “collective mass psychosis” so intense that their wardens summoned a priest to calm them. In a factory town east of Moscow, panicked citizens stripped shelves of matches, kerosene, sugar and candles. A huge Mayan-style archway is being built — out of ice — on Karl Marx Street in Chelyabinsk in the south.
For those not schooled in New Age prophecy, there are rumors the world will end on Dec. 21, 2012, when a 5,125-year cycle known as the Long Count in the Mayan calendar supposedly comes to a close. Russia, a nation with a penchant for mystical thinking, has taken notice. [1]
In another story from the NYT, it appears that some entrepreneurs of the Internet have been selling tickets to a remote mountain area in France, which has been advertised to be the only safe place in Europe during the Mayan Apocalypse December 21, 2012. Yes, it seems people are stupid and craven enough to buy tickets from people who are going to die in the apocalypse. I can guess what these folks will tell the UFO God responsible for rescuing them: “Oh, yeah. I got lucky. Some sucker sold me a ticket when he could have saved one for himself, haw, haw, haw!”
There are some pretty gullible people in this world.

2012 Mayan Prophecy EndTimes. Day 19 and Counting…
Nineteen more days. I don’t know if I can keep this up for 19 more days. But as long as there is beating heart of an African Swallow, I shall continue. I SHALL CONTINUE.
Okay, so continuing; here’s what I’m going to guess (again) what happens the day after December 21, 2012 and nothing really happens. No Christ Consciousness, no Galactic Federation, no 6 GODDAMN DAYS OF DARKNESS [1] , no “Ascension,” no sun flipping its magnetic field and blowing our solar system up, NONE of that shit is going to happen. I’m willing to bet $100,000 that nothing happens, and I demand that some of you snotty-nosed Fanatic Fanboys pony up and hoist your weenie on the chopping block. I’m waiting. You’re not gonna need money for your trip to Heaven in your silvery shiny space ships, right? Show some commitment.

As the author of five booklets regarding the Three Days of Darkness, allow me to briefly explain what the Three Days of Darkness is, when it will take place, and what it’s outcome will be.
1.) The TDOD will occur during the reign of Antichrist to destroy his kingdom (along with his minions) and call forth into being the 1,000-year (lengthy) Marian Era of Peace.
2.) The TDOD phenomenon itself will actually be a Divine visitation by Christ Himself under the cover of plasma lighting storms that will purify the entire earth of all physical and spiritual contaminants.
3.) The notion of Three Days of Darkness is nothing new. One of the plagues God visited upon ancient Egypt for refusing to free the Jews from captivity was three days of intense darkness, during which time the first-born of all Egyptians were slain by the Angel of Death.
All five of my TDOD booklets are available for free in downloadable PDF essay form on my website: members.toast.net/louisbarta
I’ll be paying this site a visit come December 22md.
2012 Mayan Prophecy Endtimes. Day 22 and Counting!
Day 22 until the end of the world. The 2o12 Mayan Endtimes Goodtimes Hour continues for 22 days! You excited? I know I am. I haven’t scoffed at such a colossal hoax since the Harold Camping Endtimes fiascos. The Raptures (which were predicted twice by Camping) failed to commence with the end of the world a la the Book of Revelations.
“We realize that many people are hoping they will know the date of Christ’s return,”Camping wrote. “We humbly acknowledge we were wrong about the timing.”
Reports that the Mayan Calendar skipped Leap Years, has some jaws a-flapping that the veracity of the “prophecy” has been dealt a life-threatening blow. However, the bigger blow would be if someone could prove that even if the Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012 (which they certainly DIDN’T), they absolutely failed to predict the end of their own civilization. And yet, the believers of the Mayanist Prophecy of 2012 are crawling all over the web. Even NASA had to get involved by making a statement that no planet was going to hit the Earth and kill everyone on the planet.
NASA’s David Morrison: “While this is a joke to some people and a mystery to others, there is a core of people who are truly concerned,”
Morrison went on to say,
“I think it’s evil for people to propagate rumors on the Internet to frighten children,”
Not really evil, but certainly stupid, inappropriate and fuck-up filled with fear.

2012 MAYAN PROPHECY ENDTIMES. DAY 23 AND COUNTING…
The Mayan Code is a book by Barbara Hand Clow who is the leading propagandist for the Mayan 2012 end times prophecy that relies mostly on the “scholarship” of Carl Johan Calleman. What is so great about this book is that it is destined to be an occupant of the 2012 Failed Prophecy Hall of Fame in 23 days! It’s like History in the Making.
For those of you into the UFO channelling, SaLuSa, a “Sirian” channelled by Mike Quinsey, has gone on record that December 21. 2012 will be a great day for Ascension. “Nothing will stop the Ascension process from finally manifesting at the end of 2012.” The messages of Quinsey and “Salusa” have been stuck on repeat with their never-ending yammering of “Galactic Federation,” “full consciousness,” and “ascension,” dear ones. I made a parody of the Galactic Federation a few years ago.
Yeah, I don’t think these UFO channellers have it right.
