Critically examining the "End of the World"
Galactic Alignment Theory
Top 5 2012 Scams and/or Scammers
Mar 14th
There are still people trapped by debris in Japan and snake oil salesmen are already lining up to claim this tragedy is proof for whatever brand of crazy they happen to be selling. This all too normal, all too natural tragedy is being cited as the beginning of the end by more than one group of people who have found a way to make their money off the end of the world. So we’re going to take a time to look at the ravenous ghouls who are all to willing to cash in on people’s fear and panic. With that said, let’s look at 5 of the biggest lies, or liars, trying to cash in on Dec 21, 2012.

Patrick Geryl is the author of a number of books where he claims to explain the “impending disaster” using the “ancient secrets” of the Egyptians and Annunaki. Of course, this is utter bullshit. He’s selling books like they were iPods and using the profits to invest in a compound in Spain for himself and his followers. Or more likely, himself when Dec 22, 2012 rolls around and we’re all still here. He can just say “oops, must have been wrong” and retire to his mountainous Spanish villa. Poor guy.

Nancy Lieder first gained notoriety when she declared that an alien intelligence from the Zeta Reticuli cluster had warned her of impending disaster for all of Earth. First, it was the Hale-Bopp comet hiding something terrible. Then it was the impending arrival of Planet X in 2003. When Planet X did not arrive, it took virtually no time at all for Ms Lieder to change the arrival date for Armageddon to one which already had some footing in the popular consciousness, the “end” of the Maya(n) calendar, 2012. I imagine once Dec 22nd arrives, she’ll just pick a new date for our doom, and continue to operate her website and sell her books until the day she dies, or the world ends. Guess which one I’d bet on happening first.
The Maya(n) Calendar is obviously an inanimate object (in the same way the Gregorian calendar is an “object.”). It can not control who claims it as evidence for their own particular theory of doom and profit. Be it Patrick Geryl, Nancy Lieder, or any number of random people on Youtube, more and more people are pointing to this amazing act of time keeping and astronomy as some kind of monster just waiting for the opportunity to bring ruin to us all. But that kind of thinking is based entirely on a flawed understanding of the Maya(n) culture, and their calendar. There are a number of artifacts that include dates pointing to the next “cycle,” which is to say, the Maya(n) did not think their calender “ended” on Dec 21, 2012.-
Planetary Alignment and/or Galactic Alignment, much like the Maya(n) calendar are both ideas that have been seized upon by multiple groups and multiple theories. These alignment claims usually assert that a rare astronomical event will occur that will imperil the Earth. Essentially there is nothing to them. NASA and the astronomy community at large point out that the described alignments either will not occur, or happen all the time over and over again. In short, there’s nothing to any claims of any kind of alignment of celestial bodies.
Prophecies, both biblical and those of people like Nostradamus, are also frequently cited by various 2012 theorists as proof of their theory. Their adherents will work feverishly to associate any real world event or tragedy with their prophecy of choice in an attempt to legitimize their own beliefs. Ultimately though, prophecies are easily fulfilled when one looks back on them from the future and has the luxury of including, or excluding, events for the sake of demonstrating the veracity of the prophecy. Nostradamus did not make any 2012 prophecy. Neither did the Maya(n) people or the Bible, actually. In fact, it’s hard to find a legitimate “2012 prophecy” that’s more than 20 or 30 years old.
There is no reason to worry about 2012. We have enough problems with managing our limited resources as is. Don’t be fooled by any of these lies, or the liars that use them. You have more important things to be concerned about.

Question:
So my little sister successfully freaked me out last night, with a youtube video. It was just a question of what kind of disaster will happend. Well, I decided to do some further research in to the matter, and now I’m left with even more questions that what I had before I ventured. Now, knowing that it’s a galactic alignment that is predicted, where does that leave us ? I found all these pages that said “the sun’s entering a new cycle, blah blah blah, we’re headed into the middle of the milky way… blah blah… Darkness is upon us… blah blah blah… ” Can anyone help me make sense of this ?
If we are indeed headed towards the center of the milky way, and the magnetic fields flip… what is this ? Extinction for mankind, and all life on Earth ? I just need some conclusions. I’m really freaking myself out. I have a 6 month old daughter, and to think that I only have 4 years for SURE left with her, just tears me up inside. I know I could walk outside and be struck by a bus today, but… no one knows for sure…
whats to come in 2012?

Question:
so, i guess i had to throw it out there lol. so what does everyone think is coming in 2012? is planet x real? i know its the end of the mayan calender, but two other cultures wrote about it. plus we are seeing huge changes in our weather which maybe a clue to whats ahead as in the galactic alignment were in right now. and within the next 4 years, we are all to know the truth about alien life.. do you think 2012 and this have something to do together??
oh, and we are in a galactic alighnment.. do the research.. its when our sun is aligned with the center of the milkyway! and what does everyone think about the polar shift?
well, how does anyone know aliens dont have the technology to travel? just cause we cant doesnt mean they cant. too many people think that just cause we cant do it, no one else can either. odds are, are techology is nothing compared to what another culture may have on another planet.
i wanna add that there is no reason for you people to anwser a question to be in mature and rude either like the few answers below this…
I’m writing a book and i want to know if this information is possible?

Question:
The disaster in my book revolves around december 21st 2012 and the galactic alignment. Something happens (that is unknown to humans) that causes a star to fly freely into our solar system, this star is a bit smaller than our sun. It stops (again space isn’t really known to humans) a million miles behind it. And since there is another sun in our neighborhood it throws our earth farther out in space… (about 1 million miles) away from those 2 suns. Mercury is demolished by the heat of the suns. Jupiter and Saturn collide. Uranus also collides into Neptune. Pluto is thrown into the coldest region of space and is even colder than it was before. Mars is a lot closer to us now that we can see a huge apparation of the red planet in our sky…but mars isn’t close enough that it effects our center of gravity. So the sudden force causes all the supervolcanoes in the world to erupt and cause a volcanic winter for 21 years.
Is all of this possible? cuz i dont want to make my book unbelievable.
IT doesn’t nessacarily have to revolve around december 21st 2012… it could be just another year.
what does this have to do with dec 21 2012?
