Spreading the word

2012 Online is embarking on new venture to spread the word about 2012. We are going to start a live Radio show dubbed "The 2012 Radio Show". This is a means to help people better understand the importance of 2012 and also lay some background surrounding 2012. Some say it's all hype, because they have come to equate 2012=Earth blows up. But you and I both know this is not the case. So please join us on April, 3 2009. We will take callers later in the hour, and you can listen live at 2012online.org or visit blogtalkradio.

2012 the Movie - Sony Pictures

In recent weeks the 2012 movie has been formally introduced to the world, with a small glimpse of a tidal wave devouring anything in the path, including some formidable mountains. The whole point of the teaser trailer is to promote thought, and to increase the search for 2012 on the Internet. Supposedly the whole movie was derived and spun from the vast majority of stuff on the Internet. Hence the quote " Google search 2012". So reading over various forums and the official movie trailer on YouTube, it has come to my intention how stupid everyone is. They are comparing Dec 21 2012, to other dates, like Y2k. All I have to say if this is your excuse as to why this will not happen, you are, rather close minded and very stupid. Why don't you Google search what was to happen on Y2k, does the computer thing sound similar? Back to the movie, 2012 Online has high hopes that this will intrigue more individuals to research this topic and find out that there are many truths behind what lies ahead for our cultures. Stop saying no, no, no, and start asking yourself why could this happen, you all are acting like kids that don't want to eat there veggies, there good for you but it just don't taste right.

Astronomers spot a 'bizarre' strobe light star

How can people write off the existence of Planet X or Nibiru with scientist still unable to see through space. Read this article it hits home very hard!

A "most bizarre" strobe light star reported by European astronomers likely belongs to a long-sought family of compact "neutron" stars.
It initially showed up as a gamma-ray burst, leading astronomers to think it was the death of a star in the far-off universe. But after that first gamma-ray pulse, there was a three-day period of activity during which this odd celestial object emitted 40 visible-light flashes before disappearing again. Eleven days later, there was a brief near-infrared flaring episode recorded by ESO's Very Large Telescope. Then the weird object went visibly "silent" again.
"We are dealing with an object that has been hibernating for decades before entering a brief period of activity," said Alberto J. Castro-Tirado, lead author of a paper in this week's issue of Nature.
Astronomers now think this celestial enigma is a 'magnetar' located in our own Milky Way galaxy, about 15,000 light-years away in the area around the constellation of Vulpecula, the Fox. Magnetars are a type of young neutron stars. They boast a magnetic field that's a billion billion times stronger than Earth's.
To put that in perspective for those of us with the financial crisis willies: “A magnetar would wipe the information from all credit cards on Earth from a distance halfway to the Moon,” explains Antonio de Ugarte Postigo, the study's co-author.
Because magnetars can be celestially silent for decades at a time, they're hard to pin unless we're looking at the right place at the right time. Postigo says there's likely a large population of them in the Milky Way even though we've only identified about 12.
The magnetar, known as SWIFT J195509+261406, is a candidate for what scientists have been looking for: A magnetar moving towards a pleasant retirement as its magnetic fields decay.
By Dan Vergano and Jess ZielinskiPhoto: The twisting of magnetic field lines in magnetars give rise to 'starquakes', which will eventually lead to an intense soft gamma-ray burst. In the case of the SWIFT source, the optical flares that reached the Earth were probably due to ions ripped out from the surface of the magnetar and gyrating around the field lines.

Yahoo question

Reading the answers for your question is very amusing, these people can write off events caused by either human or nature. Science in its brief form is the effort to discover, and increase human understanding of how the physical world works. Without theories we would be nowhere, but with theories and speculation you receive answers maybe not the one you have researched, but others may present themselves. In order to correlate the two (LHC and the Brown Dwarf) you need to look at the hype and then look into the facts. You must weigh both sides equally, and then formulate your assumption. This is simply not done with the answers you have received. Most people that will review your question will indefinitely write off Planet X or Nibiru, and the simple fact for this, they have not been told from a credited source of its existence. To add to this, not everyone has a powerful infrared telescope in there backyard beside there grill. So this is where the conspiracy will come into play. If you were in your government’s top seat would you release anything to the public concerning this, not knowing the impact or effects to Earth? So what are the theories about Planet X or Nibiru? This has gained major attention with Zecharia Sitchin. Some of his research included; Inscribed on seven clay tablets, the text described how the inner and outer planets appeared; how an invading celestial body (“Nibiru”) collided with and broke up the planet ‘Tiamat’, creating “a new heaven;” and how Nibiru, captured in a great elliptical orbit, became the twelfth member of the Sun’s Family - Sun, Moon, and ten planets including Earth, Nibiru and Pluto. These ‘celestial gods’ were matched by a pantheon of twelve deities on Earth.(Planet X summarized)So long elliptical orbitCannot be seen from the naked eye at this timeShould be able to see in spring 2009 Comes close to Earth estimated every 3500 years or 25500 years (in sequence with the last Ice Age)Possible brown dwarf, or in a Jupiter type stateA little bigger then the size of our MoonAncient Sumerians did talk of this place (or one of its moons).
http://www.sitchin.com/http://www.sitchin.com/nasa_looking.htm

Then Planet X gets labeled a brown dwarf or Nemesis.http://www.2012online.org/2012research/nemesis.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemesis_(star)http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/06...

In the end there will be people that come to admire the fame from predicting false doomsdays, http://www.2012online.org/2012research/e...
And others will try and exploit what will happen in 2012. But I will tell you this, if Planet X or Nibiru is out there, we are in for one hell of a ride. We can only begin to use a scientific approach to determine what the likely scenarios are. The LHC is in since a giant magnet, used for various scientific research. Some would argue that it could help correct the poles shift or reversal from Planet X or Nibiru, but again this is just theory. Does this correlate to us right now? No it does not, unless it is a mass cover up like the above answer states. And just to throw this out, December 21, 2012 is not like a light switch, it does not turn on instantly and affect the Earth. We have actually seen signs leading up to this. But you cannot look at the mere past few years.

A recent post to a poll on 2012

Your poll is rather vague in regards to theories surrounding December 21st 2012. Planet X or Nibiru may or may not be associated with aliens (Nephilim or Annunuki), this should be separated. You also should include a brief history as to why this date is of importance, for instance, the Mayan studied the cycles of Earth. Thus developing a calendar better than the ones used today, to predict events such as solar eclipse, Venus cycles, and many others. The one that is spoke of the most resonates from the Mayan Long count, with translation of the end of the cycle being December 21st or the 23rd, but most will agree with the 21st. The Mayan regarded the Dark Rift (galactic plane) to be very relevant to this year. So there should be this choice as well, to include the crossing or passing through the Dark Rift. To add further, the swarm of theories are speculative, one reason being we have not seen this sort of change in our written history. We can only conjure up what we have of our current history and try and piece this together. If this date is of no importance, than why do so many ancient cultures view 2012 as being significant? Even modern day scientists predict increased solar activity and sun spot cycles of our Sun to be extreme. So what about the previous doomsday scenarios that did not come true? Most theories were speculated based around religious ideals, and to note these religions are still around today. From the far East to the West, there have been many that viewed this year as significant. With this comes the power of history, how can ancient civilization that are not as advance as we are come to terms with the cycles of Earth? They had studied the stars for thousands of years, studied the cycles of Earth and wrote to the best of their ability. In short, this is by far the most significant date in our age (meaning the age of Pisces, please research the Zodiacs and there cycles) and the most factual if you look at the meat of the evidence out there. One must get past the glamour and religious fanatics to see and understand what this truly is. Nowadays, the world is succumb by the media, the internet and the religions of the world (which include government) tell them what to believe. This is why there are so many naysayers like the guy that wants to make a wager for 1 mil. Guess he will need something to start a fire, because more than likely this will be worth nothing. I do not want this unfortunate event to unfold to our Earth, but it is a cycle, just like the smaller scale cycles you see on a yearly basis. We are here disputing December 21 2012 and cannot disprove or prove 100% on either side. No matter your motive, or willingness to want more information, this date will make an impact in your life one way or another.

Little Ice Age

The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling occurring after a warmer era known as the Medieval Warm Period or Medieval Climate Optimum. Climatologists and historians find it difficult to agree on either the start or end dates of this period. Some confine the Little Ice Age to approximately the 16th century to the mid 19th century. It is generally agreed that there were three minima, beginning about 1650, about 1770, and 1850, each separated by slight warming intervals.

It was initially believed that the LIA was a global phenomenon; it is now less clear if this is true. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), based on Bradley and Jones, 1993; Hughes and Diaz, 1994; Crowley and Lowery, 2000 describes the LIA as "a modest cooling of the Northern Hemisphere during this period of less than 1°C," and says, "current evidence does not support globally synchronous periods of anomalous cold or warmth over this timeframe, and the conventional terms of 'Little Ice Age' and Medieval Warm Period appear to have limited utility in describing trends in hemispheric or global mean temperature changes in past centuries." There is evidence, however, that the Little Ice Age did affect the Southern Hemisphere.

There is no agreed beginning year to the Little Ice Age, although there is a frequently referenced series of events preceding the known climatic minima. Starting in the 13th century, pack ice began advancing southwards in the North Atlantic, as did glaciers in Greenland. The three years of torrential rains beginning in 1315 ushered in an era of unpredictable weather in Northern Europe which did not lift until the 19th century. There is anecdotal evidence of expanding glaciers almost worldwide. In contrast, a climate reconstruction based on glacial length shows no great variation from 1600 to 1850, though it shows strong retreat thereafter.
For this reason, any of several dates ranging over 400 years may indicate the beginning of the

Little Ice Age:

1250 for when Atlantic pack ice began to grow
1300 for when warm summers stopped being dependable in Northern Europe
1315 for the rains and Great Famine of 1315-1317
1550 for theorized beginning of worldwide glacial expansion
1650 for the first climatic minimum
In contrast to its uncertain beginning, there is a consensus that the Little Ice Age ended in the mid-19th century.

The Little Ice Age brought bitterly cold winters to many parts of the world, but is most thoroughly documented in Europe and North America. In the mid-17th century, glaciers in the Swiss Alps advanced, gradually engulfing farms and crushing entire villages. The River Thames and the canals and rivers of the Netherlands often froze over during the winter, and people skated and even held frost fairs on the ice. The first Thames frost fair was in 1607; the last in 1814, although changes to the bridges and the addition of an embankment affected the river flow and depth, hence the possibility of freezes. The freeze of the Golden Horn and the southern section of the Bosphorus took place in 1622. In 1658, a Swedish army marched across the Great Belt to Denmark to invade Copenhagen. The winter of 1794/1795 was particularly harsh when the French invasion army under Pichegru could march on the frozen rivers of the Netherlands, whilst the Dutch fleet was fixed in the ice in Den Helder harbour. In the winter of 1780, New York Harbor froze, allowing people to walk from Manhattan to Staten Island. Sea ice surrounding Iceland extended for miles in every direction, closing that island's harbors to shipping.

The severe winters affected human life in ways large and small. The population of Iceland fell by half, but this was perhaps also due to fluorosis caused by the eruption of the volcano Laki in 1783. The Viking colonies in Greenland died out (in the 15th century) because they could no longer grow enough food there. In North America, American Indians formed leagues in response to food shortages.

One researcher noted that, in many years, "snowfall was much heavier than recorded before or since, and the snow lay on the ground for many months longer than it does today."[6] Many springs and summers were outstandingly cold and wet, although there was great variability between years and groups of years. Crop practices throughout Europe had to be altered to adapt to the shortened, less reliable growing season, and there were many years of death and famine (such as the Great Famine of 1315–1317, although this may have been before the LIA proper). Viticulture entirely disappeared from some northern regions. Violent storms caused massive flooding and loss of life. Some of these resulted in permanent losses of large tracts of land from the Danish, German, and Dutch coasts.

The extent of mountain glaciers had been mapped by the late 19th century. In both the north and the south temperate zones of our planet, snowlines (the boundaries separating zones of net accumulation from those of net ablation) were about 100 m lower than they were in 1975. In Glacier National Park, the last episode of glacier advance came in the late 18th and early 19th century. In Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, large temperature excursions during the Little Ice Age (~1400–1900 AD) and the Medieval Warm Period (~800–1300 AD) possibly related to changes in the strength of North Atlantic thermohaline circulation.

In Ethiopia and Mauritania[citation needed], permanent snow was reported on mountain peaks at levels where it does not occur today. Timbuktu, an important city on the trans-Saharan caravan route, was flooded at least 13 times by the Niger River; there are no records of similar flooding before or since. In China, warm weather crops, such as oranges, were abandoned in Jiangxi Province, where they had been grown for centuries. Also, two periods of most frequent typhoon strikes in Guangdong coincide with two of the coldest and driest periods in northern and central China (AD 1660-1680, 1850-1880).In North America, the early European settlers also reported exceptionally severe winters. For example, in 1607-1608 ice persisted on Lake Superior until June.

Antonio Stradivari, the famous violin maker, produced his instruments during the LIA. It has been proposed that the colder climate caused the wood used in his violins to be denser than in warmer periods, contributing to the tone of Stradivari's instruments.

The Little Ice Age by anthropology professor Brian Fagan of the University of California at Santa Barbara, tells of the plight of European peasants during the 1300 to 1850 chill: famines, hypothermia, bread riots, and the rise of despotic leaders brutalizing an increasingly dispirited peasantry. In the late 17th century, writes Fagan, agriculture had dropped off so dramatically that "Alpine villagers lived on bread made from ground nutshells mixed with barley and oat flour." Finland lost perhaps a third of its population to starvation and disease.

Southern hemisphere

An ocean sediment core from the eastern Bransfield Basin in the Antarctic Peninsula shows centennial events that the authors link to the Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period. The authors note "other unexplained climatic events comparable in duration and amplitude to the LIA and MWP events also appear." The LIA is easily distinguished in the Quelccaya Ice Cap (Peruvian Andes, South America).

The Siple Dome (SD) has a climate event with an onset time that is coincident with that of the LIA in the North Atlantic based on a correlation with the GISP2 record. This event is the most dramatic climate event seen in the SD Holocene glaciochemical record. The Siple Dome ice core also contained its highest rate of melt layers (up to 8%) between 1550 and 1700, most likely due to warm summers during the LIA.

Law Dome ice cores show lower levels of CO2 mixing ratios during 1550-1800 AD, probably as a result of colder global climate.

Sediment cores (Gebra-1 and Gebra-2) in Bransfield Basin, Antarctic Peninsula, have neoglacial indicators by diatom and sea-ice taxa variations during the period of the LIA.
In 1675 the Spanish explorer Antonio de Vea entered San Rafael Lagoon through Río Témpanos (Spanish for Ice Floe River), without mentioning any ice floe, and stated that the San Rafael Glacier did not reach far into the lagoon. In 1766 another expedition noticed that the glacier did reach the lagoon and calved into large icebergs. Hans Steffen visited the area in 1898, noticing that the glacier penetrated far into the lagoon. As of 2001, the border of the glacier has retreated beyond the borders of 1675.

There is limited evidence about conditions in Australia, though lake records in Victoria suggest that conditions, at least in the south of the state, were wet and/or unusually cool. In the north of the continent the limited evidence suggests fairly dry conditions, while coral cores from the Great Barrier Reef show similar rainfall today but with less variability.
Tropical Pacific coral records indicate the most frequent, intense El Niño-Southern Oscillation activity occurred in the mid 17th century, during the Little Ice Age.
Climate patterns.

In the North Atlantic, sediments accumulated since the end of the last ice age, nearly 12,000 years ago, show regular increases in the amount of coarse sediment grains deposited from icebergs melting in the now open ocean, indicating a series of 1-2°C (2-4°F) cooling events recurring every 1,500 years or so. The most recent of these cooling events was the Little Ice Age. These same cooling events are detected in sediments accumulating off Africa, but the cooling events appear to be larger, ranging between 3-8°C (6-14°F)
Causes.

Scientists have identified two causes of the Little Ice Age from outside the ocean/atmosphere/land systems: decreased solar activity and increased volcanic activity. Research is ongoing on more ambiguous influences such as internal variability of the climate system, and anthropogenic influence (Ruddiman). Ruddiman has speculated that depopulation of Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East during the Black Death, with the resulting decrease in agricultural output and reforestation taking up more carbon from the atmosphere, may have prolonged the Little Ice Age. Ruddiman further speculates that massive depopulation in the Americas after the European contact in the early 1500s had similar effects.

One of the difficulties in identifying the causes of the Little Ice Age is the lack of consensus on what constitutes "normal" climate. While some scholars regard the LIA as an unusual period caused by a combination of global and regional changes, other scientists see glaciation as the norm for Earth and the Medieval Warm Period (as well as the Holocene interglacial period) as the anomalies requiring explanation.

Solar activity

Solar activity events recorded in radiocarbon. During the period 1645–1715, in the middle of the Little Ice Age, there was a period of low solar activity known as the Maunder Minimum. No physical link between low sunspot activity and cooling temperatures has been established, but the coincidence of the Maunder Minimum with the deepest trough of the Little Ice Age is suggestive of such a connection. The Spörer Minimum has also been identified with a significant cooling period near the beginning of the Little Ice Age. Other indicators of low solar activity during this period are levels of the isotopes carbon-14 and beryllium-10.
Volcanic activity.

Throughout the Little Ice Age, the world also experienced heightened volcanic activity. When a volcano erupts, its ash reaches high into the atmosphere and can spread to cover the whole of Earth. This ash cloud blocks out some of the incoming solar radiation, leading to worldwide cooling that can last up to two years after an eruption. Also emitted by eruptions is sulfur in the form of SO2 gas. When this gas reaches the stratosphere, it turns into sulfuric acid particles, which reflect the sun's rays, further reducing the amount of radiation reaching Earth's surface. The 1815 eruption of Tambora in Indonesia blanketed the atmosphere with ash; the following year, 1816, came to be known as the Year without a summer, when frost and snow were reported in June and July in both New England and Northern Europe.
Ocean Conveyor Shutdown.

Another possibility is that there was a shutdown or slowing of Thermohaline circulation, also known as the "great ocean conveyor" or "meridional overturning circulation". The Gulf Stream could have been interrupted by the introduction of a large amount of fresh water to the North Atlantic, possibly caused by a period of warming before the little ice age. There is some concern that shutdown of thermohaline circulation could happen again as a result of global warming

Super Volcano

“In AD 535-536 mankind was hit by one of the greatest natural disasters ever to occur …. It blotted out much of the light and heat of the sun for 18 months and resulted, directly or indirectly in climatic chaos, famine, migration, war and massive political change on virtually every continent”.

The contemporary Roman historian Procopius described the mystery climatic disaster: “The sun gave forth its light without brightness like the moon during this whole year.”

Sixth century historian and prominent church leader John of Ephesus wrote of 535 AD in his ‘Historiae Ecclesiasicae’ (‘Church Histories’), “There was a sign from the sun, the like of which had never been seen and reported before. The sun became dark and its darkness lasted for 18 months. Each day, it shone for about four hours, and still this light was only a feeble shadow. Everyone declared that the sun would never recover its full light again.”

Another 6th Century writer Zacharias of Mytilene wrote, “The sun began to be darkened by day and the moon by night.”

A Roman official known as John the Lydian reported that “the sun became dim for nearly the whole year.”

In Italy a Senior local civil servant, Cassiodorus Sentaro wrote in 536, “We marvel to see no shadows of ourselves at noon….We have had a spring without mildness and a summer without heat.”

In 536 the Japanese Great King Senka wrote, “Yellow gold and ten thousand strings of cash cannot cure hunger. What avails a thousand boxes of pearls to him who is starving of cold?”

“In the late 1960s an American tree-ring specialist, Valmore La Marche of the University of Arizona, collected a substantial number of high-altitude bristlecone-pine tree-ring samples from Campito Mountain in California. They showed a reduction in tree-ring width (i.e. tree growth), suggesting climatic deterioration, from 535/536 with a much more serious deterioration in 539. Growth did not then return to normality until the late 550s.”

“In the 1980s, another American academic, Louis Scuderi of the University of Boston, collected a large number of foxtail-pine tree-ring samples from California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains and these told a similar story, although the foxtail-pine data suggested that the period of climatic deterioration lasted even longer … almost 40 years”.

(Note: He does mention that low-altitude tree-ring evidence from New Mexico and Arizona shows no evidence of climatic problems in the years following 535).

“In Yucatan (south-east Mexico) … painstaking analysis of lake deposits over recent years has revealed evidence of a severe multi-decade (20 to 50 years) drought which seems to have started in the mid sixth century…. The research carried out by scientists from the University of Florida and published in 1996 revealed that the sixth century drought was the first such event for almost 1,000 years and was not repeated for another three centuries.”

“Tree-ring evidence from Scandinavia and western Europe also reveals a huge reduction in tree growth in the years 536-542, not recovering fully until the 550s.”

“Tree-ring evidence from the British Isles shows that tree growth slowed down significantly in 535-536 and did not fully recover until 555”.

“In South America, tree-ring data obtained from ancient Fitzroya conifer timbers have revealed that a dramatic cooling of temperature took place in AD 540… 540 was the coldest summer for the past 1,600 years.”

The 535 event was associated with some kind of dust / chemical pollution. In 541 the 13th Century British historian Roger of Wendover wrote, “There dropped real blood from the clouds, and a dreadful mortality ensued.”

“In China in 536 there was drought and famine and “yellow dust rained like snow… The crops were ruined the following year by snow in August.””

“Starting in the 530s, a horrific 32-year long drought devastated parts of South America.”

The global catastrophe caused drought and flooding. Climactic extremes continued for roughly 30 years after the event.

“An analysis of British weather between 480 and 650 confirms that the period 535-555 was abnormally unstable.”

Hurricane Gustav - Interests in Louisiana should take action now.

As with any hurricane that is on a predicted course, the people in its path should prepare and not rely on the government to evacuate them a few days prior. Interests from the east coast of Texas to the Panhandle of Florida are possible targets, with Louisiana, and its famous city New Orleans as the bullseye. Hurricane Gustav had formed, and now downgraded to tropical storm, is still anticipated to strengthen within the next 48 hours. If you are in a low lying area, or within the city of New Orleans, you should start to prepare now. This would prevent another Katrina from decimating this wonderful cities occupants. But, there will still be people that wait until the last minute to evacuate. The state should have a better response now then it did in the past, soon we shall find out. The state should focus on extracting the elderly and disabled citizens first, issue a statement to the public of the projected path of Gustav, possible scenarios of the areas of impact and implement a voluntary evacuation now. Failure to take action could mean loss of life, and a recreation of prior events. Hurricanes you can predict and have forewarning, other disaster you do not, there should be no excuse for loss of life for a hurricane, as long as the public is aware. These hurricanes come and go in cycles, just like many other cycles here on Earth. We have seen these cycles come around time after time, so why should you not prepare for the events to unfold, and what about December 21 2012? Ice ages come and go over millions of years, global warming as well, but what exactly causes these cycles? No one is for sure, but just like the smaller cycles, just like Katrina, we as humans can learn and overcome, and prepare for what lies ahead.

The World as we know it will end, the cycle has started

Most people would undoubtedly write off the events of 2012 as another doomsday scenario, another cry from the unfortunate people that want to mislead and provoke terror. Just like the fable tale of the boy who cried wolf, there have been many accounts and predictions of an apocalypse, none coming true. With December 21, 2012 just 4 years away of what could be the greatest and most significant date in our history, the world is not willing to believe. Many people have stated that the evidence of the Mayan calendar and the Mayans themselves is not enough. This ancient civilization was once a great power in Central America, which could not predict there own date of demise. This is the main point that most would argue. But is that enough? Could the Mayans have actually found the great cycle of our solar system. Other ancient civilizations regarded this year also of great significance, even in our day and age, top space agencies see this year as important. To top it off, religions around the world also predict an apocalypse to happen.

What the Mayan predicted was a purification or cleansing of the Earth, not the Earth blows up in one day like many movies depict. Why is this important to you, and why have you read this far. Because deep down inside there is a question to be answered, a longing to know what happened before and what will happen again. The cycle of Earth is seen daily, annually and over the course of a few hundred years. There are many other events that cycle here on Earth, but we will stick to a few here. Everyday we wake to sunshine, and go to bed in darkness. We see hurricane season come and go, and rainstorms threaten flooding throughout the world. Comets such as Halley’s Comet are periodic, visible from Earth every 75-76 years. These cycles are relatively miniscule compared to the age of Earth. We know that ice age was present many times, and that the Earth has flooded globally as well. We go through warming and cooling here on Earth which takes place thousands of years apart. But what actually triggers these long term events. Could it be something that affects the Earth from space, Mother Nature or even God. The Sumerians have talked of another being amidst us, a visitor that comes around every once and a while. Planet X or Nibiru is the possible planetoid or brown dwarf that is on an elliptical orbit with our sun, which would affect the Earth on a massive scale. Could this possibly be the answer to our question earlier.

What could Planet X or Nibiru do to the Earth? Some theories suggest polar shift, ice caps melting and flooding the Earth once more, ozone depletion, solar radiation. Stronger earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters that we are used to seeing. And even an ancient race that will return once more to be the rulers of the Earth. So what do you care, you have your religion to cling to, a normal life with your house, family, and job that you love so much, and to top it off you don’t believe things you read on the internet. The moral to this article is to prepare you for the future events leading up to 2012, and possibly surviving these events. You don’t need to be a religious 2012 know-it-all, what you need to do is prepare one last time, because this time it will count.

2012 and the world views

Comments to an article that www.2012online.org submitted

The Mayan calendar does not predict doom, just change. For the people that discredit 2012, I understand. So many people, religions have had some sort of doomsday scenario prior to December 21 2012. That is why your thoughts are the way you describe them here in this article and in others. Another point to make, you are here reading this blog. May I ask why it is of interest to you? It is because something draws you to this. Whether it is to preach about "only God knows the hour" or "put your faith in Jesus" are reputable words, you have been trained, and your goal is to tell as many people about the love and word of God before the time draws near of his coming. Is it not different for the ones that have researched and have facts of the cycles here on Earth that predict future events? You see we are the same; we both have the same amount of evidence, the bible or other religious document, and the Mayan calendar and other ancient evidence. But is that the goal, evidence? Or faith? What evidence do you have to prove your views of the doomsday by your religion? Too many people have the understanding of what is not, because this is the common understanding throughout the past 2000 years. If anything challenges this, you’re primary instinct is to discredit. Which clearly stated is understandable, due to many doomsday scenarios throughout the world. But should this hold you from exploring more, just like someone would do in school or church to gain more knowledge. This is something that you cannot prove true or false until that day arrives, you can only hope and pray that your views (the world views) are correct. To the ones that want to discredit the Mayan by saying "they could not predict there own demise" or "their calendar is nonsense", please research more about the calendar system the Mayan provided. As for the Egyptians and "not knowing world was round" is questionable. As civilizations rise and fall things are learned and relearned, this is prevalent if you research ancient civilizations. In the End it is your choice. The Mayans had the most advanced calendar, which is still better then the Georgian calendar that we use today. There were 3 main calendars with the one in questions being the long count. The Earth goes through cycles, fact. Polar reversal has happened on Earth, but scientists still have little understanding of the effect on Earth. As for the significance of 2012 there are many things that will happen, don’t take it from me, or a website, or the TV. Research. You are fed information from the day you were born, put through school, and then given choices for your life with the structures you learned growing up; this is how you arrived here. No matter your motive, or willingness to want more information, we are here disputing December 21 2012. This date has made an impact in your life one way or another.
