Disturbing 2012 News Reports

I seem to be coming across more and more news reports about people doing crazy things in the name of 2012, and I think we’re going to be hearing a lot more of these reports very soon. Here are the two most recent ones:

Man: Obama threat for apocalyptic attention

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Wisconsin man pleaded guilty to threatening to assassinate Barack Obama in January, but said he was just trying to get word out about the apocalypse.

Forty-two-year-old Steven Joseph Christopher told U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate on Friday that he is the second coming of Christ, and wanted people to know that much of the world will be destroyed in 2012.

According to the indictment, the message reported Jan. 11 by the administrator of a Web site called “Alien Earth” asked readers to donate a gun and bus fare from Mississippi to Washington. Wingate scheduled sentencing Nov. 6; Christopher could get up to five years in prison.

Prosecutors told Wingate last month that a psychologist had found Christopher mentally incompetent, but the judge ruled otherwise.

Mentally ill man given eight years for slaying

EVERETT — A Snohomish County Superior Court judge on Friday wrestled with what to do with a mentally ill man who killed his wheelchair-bound grandfather during a psychotic breakdown.

Jody Sands, 34, was convicted in May of second-degree murder in the 2007 ax-beating death of Albert Beasley. Sands, a paranoid schizophrenic, struck his grandfather in the head with an axe in their north Everett home. Beasley, 87, died about a week later.

Because of his mental illness, Mr. Sands was sentenced to eight years behind bars and under community supervision for five years. Before he is released Sands also must be evaluated to determine if he should be civilly committed to the state’s mental health hospital.

Before sentencing, Sands thanked his parents for their support. He also told the judge he’ll be out of prison in about three years. Sands believes the world will end Dec. 21, 2012, the last day of the Mayan calendar.

“Everything comes to an end so feel free to give me any sentence,” Sands said.

Hello, I’m Alison M. Just a scared 17 year old from Wisconsin.

I hate the fact that everybody is talking about this, and your website is just ridiculous. A count down and everything, really? All this is doing is scaring us all horribly. A lot of us would like to just live a happy life, and not have to worry about this. If you are a Christian and read the Bible, then you would know that this 2012 is just a bunch of BS! We do NOT know when the world is going to end. I know that on December 21, 2012 everyone in the world is just going to be a serious wreck, and a riot is probably going to break out!

I really didn’t want to email you, but I think everyone is just honestly making this a bigger deal then it needs to be..honestly.John:

Hey,

I just want to tell you that this all rubbish. If you believe in God you would know that just he knew the exact date of the end of the world.

In the Bible Matthew 24:4-6 ”Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name saying, I am the Christ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.”

Matthew 24:36:”But of that exact day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

I hope you don’t believe that the world will end on that day… Because every 6 years they said that the world are coming to an end! NOT TRUE WE ALL ARE STILL ALIVE!

So don’t say that it’s going to be the end of the world, because you guys will never know when the end is on it’s way!!!!! So think again about all this.

For example: Do you know the exact date when you are dying. No you don’t!!!! It’s the same with the world you don’t know when it’s going to die… Be careful for what you say!

Thanks so STOP counting off the DAYS!!!!!

Nice website; but the only thing wrong with it all, is that the putting a day on the end of the world and the teaching that the world will end is not true and unbiblical! “No man knows the DAY nor hour except the Father in heaven. No not even the Son”. Also the word of God never teaches that this world will end! It teaches that the Lord will set up his new kingdom on EARTH. So no matter who are what pagan followers say about Dec. 21 2012, they are wrong. How can they know it when Jesus Christ the son of God does not even know? For it is when he returns the “nations” will be destroyed. This earth will go on, (not as our society know it); but it will go on. I would suggest out of love, reading more of the scriptures and less of “fable genealogies”.

Just a thought,
Evangelist Justin Scott

First let me state for the hundredth time that I, along with most followers of the coming events of 2012 DO NOT believe that the world is going to end on December 21 2012. This date simply marks a change, a new beginning that will bring about the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT.

Quoting the Bible seems to by the favored argument for people trying to alleviate their fears and insecurities about 2012. Oddly enough, they only tend to quote the scripture that is most convenient and seemingly relevant to their particular argument against coming change. Yes it’s true, the Bible does state that “no man knows the hour or the day of the End of Days. Even Jesus didn’t know. Only his father did.” What the skeptics fail to tell you is that Jesus went on to say that he hoped that those who will live in the Final Generation would look for the signs in the hope their suffering would not be so great.

With that said, let me say that the coming events of 2012 have absolutely nothing to do with the Bible, or religion, or even the Mayans. Much like how night becomes day and winter becomes spring, we are completing another grand cycle of existence. In order for they’re to be a new beginning, there must first be an ending, and this ending will be marked with signs of tribulation.

The coming events have been foreseen and foretold by many ancient cultures and civilizations around the world. Many deny and discard these warnings not just out of fear and disbelief, but in the name of God and the Bible and religion as a whole. The signs are all around us and if you would take the time to recognize them you would see that not only is change coming, but also change is necessary.

Earth’s Cycle

Every once in a while I receive and email that not only teaches me, but inspires me to keep going with my efforts to inform and educate the world about the coming events of 2012. The following is one such email.

——————————————————–
John, I think you’re missing one point. Think really hard about this before you doubt me. Everyone is on this constant solar radiation thing that will kill everything during this Pole reversal. But you’re missing a very serious point. God made the perfect Earth. If you burn yourself and put ice on it, it feels better, right? You see I study many different things and one thing I’ve realized through all religions is that everything happens for a reason. Hitler did those terrible experiments of burning people than throwing them in the snow to see how fast they heal. It was a point that was well proven! The Earth will heal itself but with ice not fire, although fire will have a play in it somehow.

Have you studied the circles in England? This year they have a more religious content. The Star of David, the Rose and the three circles. At first, I thought the three circles were our first three planets and it might be but I had forgotten about the Trinity-it could be that, too. But the Falcon appears which if you know about the legion of the Falcon arising from the flames, then you’ll understand its meaning.

I’m not a big math guru but the numbers seem to have significance in these circles. If you add the circles up and try to follow the math, you come up with the same numbers. 2012 will begin the Earth’s new cycle. It’s not just a scientific thing. The Earth will heal itself. Go back to the Babylons, and the other ancient worlds who had technologies we can not duplicate. It states right there in the Bible that if you abuse what you are given it will be taken away. History, my dear friend, is more than scientific. It is about life itself. Ice will heal the heat of the world! It will take about 14 years for the cycle to complete. It will start raining and it will be extremely cold. Then the rain will turn into a slow, steady snow that won’t end until we are in a new ice age. It will not destroy everything. Man has survived the previous ice ages.

We have the technology to prepare people to help them build structures to keep them alive. But the governments of the world are like the ancient rulers-greedy. They know what is happening. The Earth was in a wobble when the 2004 tsunami took place. The tsunami wasn’t the changing point. The Earth has begun its own change and that has lead to these major weather events. Go back and look at the increase in the amounts of earthquakes even before 2004. Go look at all the volcanoes which have been dormant for thousands of years wake up–in 2007 almost all of them. The plates are already moving.

The government has already figured out how to keep gas from freezing with special “Tent Buildings” in the Dakotas, and have already built special storage faculties to house every type of seed to plant, even the Vatican has supposedly built a special structure to weather this upcoming cycle change.

There’s too many people pretending to be scientist and covering the reality instead of using what we have to help save civilization from perishing. The messages have been sent and they are getting bigger and bigger each year. Go look at the circles….tell me I’m wrong. Each year they increase. These circles are not human-made. When one of these things appear overnight and it’s the size of three football fields, And they repeat the message. Go look at them. You’ll see what I’m referring to.

We’re headed for a natural turn and we have a chance to come together and weather the storm, but instead the people are too worried about politics and wars. Are maybe that’s what the governments are trying to do to keep the people from seeing what is really happening.

End of the world in 2012? Doomsday scenario sounds familiar to skeptics Prediction based on Maya calendar enters mainstream as "2012" movie hits theat

As doomsday scenarios go, it's got everything you could ask for: Ancient prophecies, a rogue planet, the reversal of Earth's magnetic poles - and a worldwide conspiracy to conceal the truth.

John Kehne can't say how it all adds up. But come Dec. 21, 2012, he's expecting something big.

"We're seeing now, and will continue to see, more and more disasters, both man-made and natural," says the Maryland native, whose "official" Web site on the subject features a clock counting down to the end of the world as we know it.

"On that day, we will reach a pretty major disaster," Kehne says. "What that is, I'm not really sure. Earthquakes are a definite possibility." Nonsense, say skeptics, who dismiss the claims of a growing body of magazine stories, books, Web sites and, on Friday, a blockbuster Hollywood movie.

"We're pattern-seeking primates," says science historian Michael Shermer, founder of the Skeptics Society. "We look for patterns to connect A to B. And often A really is connected to B and B really is connected to C. The problem is we don't have a baloney detection module in our brain to help us tell the true from the false patterns."

The Internet chatter and late-night radio talk is building with the release of "2012," a film by serial doomsayer Roland Emmerich, who previously assaulted Earth with aliens in "Independence Day" and global warming in "The Day After Tomorrow."

The movie draws on the apparently popular belief that the ancient Maya predicted the end of the world, possibly in a collision with the as-yet undetected planet Nibiru, when their calendar ends on the Winter Solstice three years from now.

"Good luck everyone!" declares 2012warning.com, a Christian-themed Web site. "Remember to pray, for prayer is the ONLY way."

On the bright side: Some interpretations have the intelligent inhabitants of Nibiru making contact with Earth, perhaps to raise humanity to a new level of consciousness.

The shifting complex of ideas animating such beliefs do contain elements of truth. For example, the long count calendar used by the Maya does conclude a 5,125-year Great Cycle on or around Dec. 21, 2012. But the Maya themselves did not equate the date with the end of the world, and in their writings predicted events they said would take place long after it.

"I've got a calendar on my wall that ends on Dec. 31," says Ben Radford, managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine. "I'm not particularly worried that there isn't going to be another one after it."

The comparison is apt, according to University of New Hampshire anthropologist Eleanor Harrison-Buck.
