Controlled Disclosures of the UFO Cover-Up: Part 2

How Much Does the Government Really Know?

Does our government actually know a lot more about the UFO phenomenon than we think, or are we just under the illusion that they know? And has the government instigated cover-ups because they know too much, or because they know too little? Are they trying to hide the fact that they're just as much in the dark as we are?

Perhaps the government is slow in releasing information to "we the public" because they don't have all the facts either. But they most likely have more than us. So either way, they are several steps ahead of us. Even when they begin to release material to the public according to the Freedom of Information Act, little by little, how much of this is still disinformation? Will they ever let us know the truth, and especially the truth of how much they really know?

As much as the government and its branches don't want us to know anything about the UFO issue, likewise, it's questionable how much they really know. Our government is supposed to be brimming with "Intelligence," but most likely that's a false assumption. If they had all this wonderful intelligence information, the government could have prevented the 9/11 catastrophe. I suspect the aliens figure there's no real intelligent life down here on Earth. Perhaps the government is too paranoid for its own good, and it fears that the extraterrestrials are hostile, and so our trusted leaders are trying to protect us. But it might be possible these extraterrestrials aren't really hostile, but they're just overly curious about us human beings, and life on Earth in general, so we perceive them as being intruders, especially when you consider alien abductions and strange implants and cattle mutilations and so forth.

Although people survived the 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio scare, when many citizens actually thought we were being invaded by Martians, I believe we have been desensitized enough over the years, and especially ever since we became more fully aware of an ET presence here due to the famous Roswell crash of 1947. Therefore, if we ever do experience what science fiction writers call "First Contact," we have at least sixty years preparation behind us. Let's just hope the hostile alien invasion scenario remains with science fiction, because I'd rather we have friendly contact. But if you remember the "V" miniseries on TV, and its new remake, mankind experienced first contact in a very friendly way, but it turned out to be a deception, for the aliens actually had evil ulterior motives. Besides, they were creepy reptilian creatures wearing human skin suits! Then there's the old Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man," and once again we have friendly aliens offering us world peace and other wondrous things, but when people filed into the alien ships to visit the "friendly world," they were in effect being taken to an alien restaurant to be eaten. You see, the aliens had a cryptic book called "How To Serve Man," that cryptologists were trying to decipher. As you might guess, at the end of the episode, they discovered it was a cookbook. Yeah... ha ha...

Of course, there has been the onslaught of alien invasion movies as well, such as Independence Day, Mars Attacks, and the old War of the Worlds movie, and its remake versions, to name a few. Those are enough to make us fear aliens, to become paranoid that they just might invade our planet. But if that's the case, why haven't they done so yet? It's quite possible they're just on an exploratory mission, observing us from afar. But there are also science fiction stories that suggest we are on the verge of self-annihilation, and that the aliens will either let us destroy ourselves, or help push us over the edge, or they'll destroy us first since we're a disruptive species. Or more benevolent aliens might intercede and help us get out of our destructive rut, via some form of first contact. But we really don't know the truth. Not yet.

So, what do those pesky aliens really want with us anyway? And is our government doing something about it?

Controlled Disclosures of the UFO Cover-Up: Part 1

How Much Will They Tell Us?

Exactly how much is the public allowed to know about the whole UFO and ET phenomenon? And exactly how much does our government really know about it?

Usually our government, military, and intelligence operations are set up so the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. One department is working on one aspect of a larger confidential project, and another department is working on yet another, and such projects are highly top-secret, so no one knows the bigger picture -- except perhaps a few highfalutin bigwigs on top - or do they? I have read that even the president may not be privy to certain top priority intelligence. So who really knows what's going on, or who is pulling the strings? Does anybody even have the big picture - or only pieces of it?

Certain theories purport that there is a competition between Army Intelligence and the CIA and other intelligence branches as well. They all want the same thing, but only certain departments possess certain bits of information or artifacts, such as alien technology. So each group has a separate puzzle piece and no one seems to be cooperating to put the whole picture together. Or is that just another cover-up scenario to throw us off? The fact is, UFO disclosure is tightly controlled by the government, to where there is little or no actual disclosure taking place to the public. The government's denial of actual information and release of disinformation is more prevalent.

Here's another tidbit. The nature of conspiracies and cover-ups is like opening many doors, doors of disclosure. When "we the public" have opened one door that reveals some morsel of info, we discover there is another door beyond that, which is opened next, but then there are more doors to open we discover. The government and the military have created countless doors, and every time we open one, there's another, and the government keeps way ahead of us, or so we are told. Not just one or two steps ahead of us, but perhaps hundreds. And quite often these doors reveal false data and disinformation, which only throws us off the trail, because they don't want us to know what's really going on. So, little by little, tiny breadcrumbs are allowed into the public that we try to follow, but these are just to keep us busy and satisfied while the government conceals the deeper secrets. So as much as we think we know now, there's still countless secrets we just don't know yet. "The cover-up is the disclosure and the disclosure is the cover-up." (from The Day After Roswell by Col. Philip J. Corso)

Clever cover-ups usually involve a series of cover stories to conceal the actual incident. Case in point, a few different stories came out of the Roswell crash incident of 1947, such as a crashed weather balloon, a crashed US experimental aircraft, and even a crashed Soviet experimental aircraft, or even a crashed Soviet spy plane, and clearly these would have to be concealed by the government and military for reasons of national security. But then there's the story of the crashed alien spacecraft. Many people think the latter possibility is the truth, but it also sounds likely the government would try to conceal the crash of some kind of experimental aircraft or foreign spy plane. Once again we have been opening many doors, but we don't know what the truth is. Too many stories have been circulating out in the public and most of these are just disinformation.

So part of the cover-up process is allowing tiny bits of information into the public, although fabrications are mixed with some truth so that we the public still don't exactly know what is going on. For example, countless photos of UFOs have been released over the decades, but how many of these are hoaxes or fabrications? Perhaps we're looking at pictures of Frisbees or hubcaps flying through the air. Perhaps only a small percentage of these are actual alien spacecraft.

I tend to believe we are gradually being desensitized, and allowed to adjust, partly so that there won't be a repeat of the panic created by the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast instigated by Orson Welles back in 1938, which the government probably fears and would rather prevent again. They probably fear that the extraterrestrials are hostile. If alien abductions, cattle mutilations, and bodily implants are real, I would think so too.

It's obvious that the government doesn't want us to know what's really going on, and much of this is for purposes of control, that is, controlling what we know and don't know. But it also seems obvious to me that they have painted themselves into a corner. Even if they wanted to finally come out of the closet and tell us the truth about what they know regarding the UFO and ET phenomenon, they would be admitting that they had been lying to us all along. And then we wouldn't be able to trust a government that lies to us, and spreads propaganda and disinformation into the public. Well, maybe a lot of people don't trust the government now, but it would be worse if they finally told us what they really know.

On the other hand, does the government and the military and intelligence branches really know exactly what is going on? As much they might know, or seem to know, do they only have pieces of the whole jigsaw puzzle? What other deep dark secrets lurk out there?

The Greatest Coverup That Doomed The Human Race

THE COVER-UP

What has happened to our species? There is the growing pain in that question. I can tell you that I think of that every time I sit and stare at the sky on a clear dark night.

I know a secret that only some may even speculate. I look at the churches line up on a small road in a small town, just to see that the human race has no clue what is really happening.

Ok. So let us forget about the fact that there was an area 51, till recently there was not even any knowledge of this area. We have to remember the fact that it was not until after 1947 that our technology has risen to an experiential point. After that year our technology increased so rapidly that our entire expectation of life has changed too.

It was that fact alone that set me on an investigative journey. This journey took me to the depths of a place that I do not think any other man would be able to survive with all his faculties. I do not mean only the dangers involved, but it also means that all the beliefs that are in place are there to keep you in a control state of mind.

It started when I was active duty in the United States Coast Guard in 1990. I was stationed aboard the United States Coast Guard Cutter Morgenthau. We were patrolling the Alaskan Chain. I was on the bride watch. My duties were to keep a look out to ensure that the ship does not encounter any obstacles that would injure the ship and crew. It was 0330 hours (3:00 AM in the morning) the sky was really dark I had all I could do to try to keep awake and keep vigilant. In the sky off to the right I saw a long cylinder shaped object. This object was able to stop in mid air and it was able to go in reverse. I knew that the airplanes could not perform this because there is a little piece of physics known as G-Forces that would destroy our bodies.

I could not utter a sound because I hesitated. Now this is the problem, I hesitated because what I was seeing was not going to the order of life I was brainwashed to believe. I did not call it in, and why I should, After all, Mr. Sweeny Loved to say hey is your eyes open up there. There were no lame comments coming from the bridge. The Boats inmates never uttered anything. I realized then I was the only person that has actually seen this thing. This was a start to this cover-up that actually takes a turn for the most bizarre.

I quickly knew that there was more to this than I was aware of. I knew that I needed to find out this because even when I was 6 years old, I have always realized that only an unintelligent, arrogant, and self centered person would even entertain the thought that we are the only living intelligent beings in the Universe, given the actual age of the Earth of 4.5 billion years old.

This was my mission as to what was really happening on this planet, because I do not believe in accidents in the Universe, and I do not believe that the actual bible actually shows that there is a one GOD. I know this for a fact because, the Hebrews that actually wrote the Bible were not Mono-theistic, They were Heno-Theistic. This knowledge alone now actually brings discredit on religion. Because every religion is preaching 1 not many. Ok now we come to a point of time where we are studying all this beings from other solar systems and I come up to a block because the secret societies are out to control the human race. Why? Well let us begin by saying this. Forget that 98% of the planet are simple mindless idiots that instead of working for themselves in order to help the economy, they continue to work for another company owned by someone else and these elites know that they can crush, or let the economy get a little better in order to maintain control. They need this control in order to protect themselves. We actually outnumber these individuals about 1000 to 1 and would wipe them off the map.

Jim Marrs always says that he does not condone that, but point of fact, our founding fathers knew that they would have to fight the suppressors in order to maintain freedom. Now it actually looks as if that freedom will fail more than ever. There is something that is happening real soon that these elites knew for over 36 years.

Now you are going to tell me that you have heard this, no you have not. I have physically seen this and it is not a very pretty site. These elites have certain knowledge, because after the Roswell crash, the technology was studied and they knew that they could not keep the money in their pockets if people knew about this. They knew that they would be out of business, and they had to be able to keep all the money in their control.

Now there is something else I have seen, there was a complete agreement between the US Government and another species, most called them Reptilians, but I call them traitors. What this was was an agreement for technology in trade of human beings. Sounds bizzare..not yet it doesn't. Think of this Crack heads sell their own babies for crack, something unheard of right? Wrong it happens all the time. We are only cattle to these elites. In fact, Rockefeller stated that if a human being does not use his brain then he is no better than the cattle we send to slaughter and they should too be slaughtered.

My investigation of this phenomenon is what brought me to this real horror. I have been an advocate of getting to the truth and encouraging others to do the same. What follows is what I have uncovered in this daring adventure of my life.

First let me ask a question. Why do you think that the Elite covered up the UFO secrets in the first place? No it was not because they did not want you to know that there are other life out there, it was because the technology that was available would actually shut down their money making empire. The Bilderburg group is at the high seat of this cover-up; however there are only 7 elite members that actually have the entire world under their control. This corporate empire has the actual agenda to kill off 2/3 of the human population. They know that there is no way that an effective rescue could be done with over 7 billion people, and so they plan to keep themselves safe and let us all die off.

My investigation takes me to the heart of our country, Washington D.C where the group met in secret to discuss the over population of the world. Knowing that there are Mayan prophecies and even the bible has foretold these beings agenda, the elites had to find a way of destroying the population, and what is more arrogant they had hidden this information from the United States people right in front of their eyes. 1. In the Denver Airport where the most traffic is most present, there is a painting high on the wall of the actual events to come. 2. In GA, there is a stone hedge wall that even outlines to keep the population down to only 500,000,000. That is 80 % of the population to be killed.

The UFO or Inter-dimensional knowledge is really about us, it is about whop we really are where we might be going. What is more important is that this knowledge has been out there, and because it has been hidden, people are not paying attention to what is going on around them. In the bible it also states that Jesus said," Why is it that people can see the stars in the skies, but can not see the signs of the times."

This brings us to where we are today. What is happening now is that the elites have succeeded in carrying out phase 3 of their plan. What they are poisoning us with is a 3 fold plan and it is in what we use everyday.

WATER: the elites have purposely planned oil spills to be able to use chemical agents in the water to poison our people. They still gain money because there is now more money in the actual clean up than there is in the oil itself. BP has their hands in the US Government and has even members in key positions to bribe department of energy members with 500 million dollar grants. They know the chemicals are poisoning us and they are able to maintain this control and still gain capital on the clean up of the oil rather than the actual oil. Still in control.

FOOD: The elites have devised chemical agents in all processed foods including arsenic. Examples of processed foods are Gerber baby foods. These foods are already prepared and the chemical agents are added without knowledge. These are the factors that are contributing to our inability to combat this because the majority of people do not cook their own foods they want it processed ready to go. Another feather in their cap.

VACCINES: the Elites control the manufacturing and demanding of vaccines in the world. These vaccines are now being proven to have caused deaths and illnesses that are not being combated. With the mandatory vaccines the population's immune system will fail. With the population's immune system taken down the illnesses will destroy people.

You are sitting there and thinking this sounds like fantasy, but I have proven this over and over again with facts. You see this is considered a soft kill. What a soft kill would best be defined as the art of killing someone without having any visible evidence of the kill. For example the vaccine that kills would never be blamed on the elites that planned it. They would get off Scott free because the pharmaceutical plant or the doctors would take all the blame. The money that they paid to these companies more than takes care of any law suits and they still manage to be in the black no matter what.

The reason why the US Government does not do anything about this is because the Presidents are all hand picked. They are taught to govern in a way that would never give any indication of a power behind the position. There is no fact you can show me that a president has the power. The last real president of this country was one John F. Kennedy.

Monster of the Skies! Thunderbird - Legends, Sightings and Evidence

Many of the Native American tribes shared a common legend of a massive-winged creature that is suppose to be larger than a condor; the great Thunderbird.

The Legends...

The northwestern Indians said that the Thunderbird accompanied thunderstorms and that lightning flashed from its eyes. It was said to feed on killer whales. The Miami Indians called it Piasa, or 'devourer of man' and believed the bird required sacrifices or it would attack a whole community.

Thunderbirds were also seen as a kind of positive energy spirit that attacked monsters. The Ojibway Indians of Lake Superior said that a Thunderbird fought with Mishipishu, a snake like monster of the lake. The Thunderbird won the battle and as he took the serpent away in his talons, a crack of thunder and lighting marked the event. The Iroquois, however, saw the Thunderbird as the guardian of fire. The Iroquois also had a Thunderbird called Oshadagea, or Dew Eagle, and when the evil fire spirits attacked the earth, Dew Eagle would fly over the flames, and the dew from its back would put-out the flames and make the earth fertile again.

In more recent time, the Sioux Medicine Man, John (Fire) Lame Deer told of the Thunderbird and said that the he believed that they had gone to the furthest parts of the earth, unhappy with the dirty and impure civilization of the whites. The Sioux called the birds Wakinyan Tanka. Lame Deer describes them as creatures whose voices are the thunder and the small rumbles of thunder are the voices of their children. They are a kind of phantom being, with bodies that are not solid. There was a time when the Thunderbirds, fighting on the behalf of human beings, fought with the evil water monsters. The war erupted over the earth for many years until finally the Thunderbirds won.

The Sightings...

July 25th, 1977, 10 year old Marlon Lowe was playing hide and seek with his friends when a large bird grabbed him by his shirt lifting him about a foot into the air. As Marlon shouted for his mother, the bird continued to carry him for nearly 40 feet before dropping him. At the time, Marlon weighed about 60 pounds. At first it was believed that bird was a turkey vulture, but after his mother did some research at the library, she found the bird that had attacked her son; a black bird with a white ring at the base of its neck, a California Candor.

In October of 2002 in the Alaskan villages of Togiak and Manokotak, came reports of a bird with a wing-span of '14 feet'. Though the actual size would be hard to make out from the ground, the witnesses were shaken. A pilot saw it too from a distance of just 1,000 feet while flying his plane. "The people in the plane saw him," said the pilot John Bouker. "He's huge, he's huge, he's really, really big. You wouldn't want to have your children out." Story Source

The wingspan of a California Condor can reach 9 feet and probably bigger. It is possible that people are seeing condors, or are these creatures the ancient teratorn still alive and among us even today? The teratorn is the massive ancestor of modern buzzards and stood nearly 8 feet tall.

The Evidence...

In Unsolved Mysteries of the Old West, (Republic of Texas Press 1999) author W.C. Jameson tells the curious tale of the Thunderbird Cave in Utah. (Though out of print, the book can still be found as used on Amazon.com.) In 1738 a band of treasure seeking Spaniards who were loaded down with silver ingots, were attacked and killed by Indians angry over the continual trespassing of their hunting lands. Two survivors however, while in hiding, watched as the Indians took the Burros of the dead Spaniards into a cave that had a petroglyph of a large strange strange bird over its entrance. The Indians killed and hacked-up the bodies of the burros, even copping off their hooves. In the 1980's An unnamed treasure hunter went into the cave looking for the silver ingots in the famed Thunderbird Cave. After searching all over the land, he finally found a cave with a petroglyph of a large unusual looking bird over its entrance. The creature had a long reptile-like tail. While digging, he unearthed burro hooves and the large stem of a feather measuring 18 inches in length. The stem is pictured on my blog along side an eagle feather. Ornithologists determined it to be a wing feather, but from what kind of bird, no one can say. Were the burros a sacrifice to the Thunderbirds?

To see photos of the beast, the rare photo of the feather and to see the Monster Quest episode 'Birdzilla' about Thunderbirds, click here.

The Martian Wonderworld - We're 3.5 Billion Years Too Late!

Once upon a time there were two adjacent planets orbiting a run-of the-mill star in one of the arms of an unremarkable spiral galaxy. Both were warm, both were wet, both had substantial atmospheres, both had vulcanism, both had oceans, seas and rivers, and both were in or on the edge of their star's habitable zone. Life, we are certain began on one, but on the other - well we're not too sure. The planets in question are of course the Earth and Mars.

Everyone is fascinated by Mars. From an earlier less-informed age, science fiction by Ray Bradbury and Edgar Rice Burroughs, or the imagined canals of astronomer Percival Lowell has fired our imagination, and has ensured that the Red Planet now has a special place in both our hearts and popular folklore. The real Mars is even more fascinating however, and the planet's formation and history can be the subject of some fascinating speculation. Mars is still one of the few places in the solar system that humans can think realistically about exploring on foot.

Did life arise on Mars in its early past like it did on Earth? Even more speculative, did life arise on one planet, only to be transported by ejecta to the other after an asteroid impact? Many scientists think that life, well microbial life at any rate, protected from cosmic rays and a fiery entry into the Earth's atmosphere inside a space rock can traverse the vast distances between planets. One of the meteorites discovered on the snows of the Allen Hills of Antarctica showcased by NASA in 1996, and confirmed as Martian by isotopic analysis, contains tantalising crystal structures that may be either chemical in origin or fossilised bacteria (albeit very small bacteria!). Meteorite ALH84001 may surprise us yet.

Will future geologists as they explore Mars discover fossils in the sedimentary rocks that are so indicative of the planet's wet and warmer past? Did creatures swim in the seas and rivers of Mars - were they washed up on the now high and dry fossilised Martian beaches that we've identified with our Mars orbiters? Did they take the ultimate white-knuckle ride over waterfalls to dwarf Niagara in the Vallis Marineris, a gargantuan canyon the width of North America? As the late NASA astronomer and planetary scientist Carl Sagan (1994) speculated, "Now that would be a world to explore - unfortunately we are four billion years too late!"

Whether such speculation turns out to be confirmed, things started to go wrong about 3.8 billion years ago, about the time life got started on Earth. Mars is about half the size of the Earth so its interior began to radiate heat to space much more quickly and its core began to solidify. Without a molten iron core acting as a dynamo, any magnetic field surrounding the planet started to dissipate exposing the atmosphere and surface to the Sun's charged particles. Any tentative carbon cycle would grind to a halt too -- despite having the largest volcano in the solar system (Olympus Mons), vulcanism would cease, and with it any possibility of recycling the planet's carboniferous rocks.

In addition, with its gravity and hence escape velocity only 40% that of the Earth, and with no protective ozone layer, ultra violet radiation would pummel the Martian atmosphere disassociating water and carbon dioxide molecules into their constituent atoms with hydrogen and oxygen drifting off into space. With steadily decreasing atmospheric pressure, the Martian greenhouse effect would be thrown into reverse. Temperatures would plummet, the planet's remaining water would freeze either in permafrost or subterranean glaciers, and life, if it had existed would be forced to retreat into the last protected under- the-surface niches and habitats.

Is it still there, hiding in the caves of Mars or in the subsurface soils, clays and rocks, away from the desiccated, radiation-fried environment above? Is this the cause of the methane out gassing detected by NASA - or does this possible bio-signature have chemical or volcanic origins?

We know from a plethora of studies in some of the most inhospitable places on Earth such as Antarctica, deep in the oceans, in sulphurous volcanic springs, even in nuclear reactors and in solar radiation-saturated NASA hardware brought back by astronauts from the surface of the Moon that extremophiles are tenacious in the extreme! Once life has a foothold, extinguishing it is phenomenally difficult.

However, NASA/JPL's's two Viking spacecraft that touched down in mid-1976 gave inconclusive results in their analysis of the Martian soil. Gases were exchanged when a nutrient soup was added to the soil, but no organic molecules were found on the Martian surface. However, the Vikings were designed to detect only a small subset of possible life - that found on the Earth. There's no guarantee that extraterrestrial bugs will adhere to terrestrial rules.

NASA/JPL's Mars Science Laboratory is slated for launch in 2011, and with a battery of on-board tests and equipment may start to provide some more substantial tantalising evidence of the signatures of life. Previous unmanned spacecraft have participated in NASA's "follow the water" initiative --both the Spirit and Opportunity Mars Exploration Rovers have found abundant evidence of sulphate rocks formed in water and stratified sedimentary rocks exposed on the Martian surface. The Mars Phoenix lander found copious amounts of water ice underneath its landing site, and evidence of perchlorate-saturated water condensed on its legs.

Mars is still a fascinating, enigmatic and lovely world with wonders aplenty to keep our robot emissaries, and eventually astronauts busy for decades and centuries to come. Its river channels, waterfalls, lakes and seas may now be desiccated, and its warmest days may be barely above the freezing point of water, but finding life on the Red Planet has been a dream of humanity for centuries. And sometimes dreams come true.

The Mayan Prophecy of 2012 - 5 Reasons to Believe!

hose who believe in the Mayan Prophecy of 2012 claim that when the Mayan long count calendar runs out of days on December 21, 2012, the world will end. Could it be possible that an ancient civilization really knew what the future would hold for us? The Mayan calendar was written a thousand years ago and was over five thousand years long. Can the simple fact that it ends truly foretell the ending of this world?

As a stand alone prophecy, perhaps not. The Mayan calendar represented a cyclical time frame, beginning and ending with a precise sun/earth/galaxy configuration which repeats itself roughly every five thousand, two hundred and some years. What gives credence to the prophecy is the number of collaborating sources who, not aware of the Mayan Prophecy of 2012 or the Mayan long count calendar, note the same date as a day of great import in the history of this earth.

A few of these sources include:

1. The Inca, Hopi, and Pueblo Indians all believed that the earth will end on Winter Solstice, 2012, Not only the Aztec calendar, but also the ancient Cherokee calendar both mark the world's end time as December, 2012.

2. The I-Ching calendar, the ancient Chinese oracle-calendar, has correctly predicted several major world events, including both World Wars. Like the Mayan Prophecy of 2012, the I-Ching also predicts that the end of the world will come in 2012.

3. The ancient Egyptians also indicate their belief that the world will end in 2012 in the calendar stones of the Great Pyramid.

4. Modern astronomy has acknowledged that the conjuncture in the skies on Winter Solstice, 2012, allows the possibility of increased solar flare activity, coronal ejections, and massive radiation which could devastate the earth and it's population.

5. Bible Code 2012 has been found hidden in the pages of the Torah, forewarning the faithful of catastrophic events on earth in December of 2012.

All of these sources are in agreement with the time frame given by the Mayan Prophecy of 2012. As important to note, not a single prophecy or prediction currently known contradicts it. This is worth considering before dismissing the Mayan Prophecy of 2012 as nothing more than a hoax designed to titillate the public.

That so many divergent people and sources, most unknown to each other, claim that the world as we know it will end in less than 2 years and all pinpoint the same date as doomsday can not simply be coincidence. How will you prepare for a world altering event on December 21, 2012? Complete information on the Mayan Prophecy of 2012 and a free report with great tips for planning for survival can be found at Countdown to 2012.

2012 Prophecies - 3 Predictions You Must See

2012 is right around the corner, and we've all heard the rumors and theories about what's going to happen. What's the real deal with 2012 though? What are some of the prophecies that are floating around and is anything really going to happen? Read on to learn about some of the alleged 2012 prophecies to see if there's any truth to the rumors.

First 2012 Prophecy: The world is going to end. This is a widely held belief that in 2012, after the end of the Mayan calendar, the world is going to end through some catastrophic disaster. As far as any scientist or astrologist can tell this is completely false and the transition to 2012 will be just like any other new year. However, no scientists can understand how the Mayans themselves were able to get such an accurate grasp of the universe around us by charting stars and the movement of planets.
