2012, The Great Clusterfuck, Part Deux

So as I ended the last post. There is an inherent danger that there will be violence and panic related incidents, not because the world is ended, or because the poles are shifting, or because toilets are flushing in reverse; but because people have worked themselves into such a frenzy that they will react to a situation that isn't actually materializing. Has ANYONE stopped to consider that may actually be exactly the kind of situation tha certain people would like to see? Has anyone given thought to the idea that maybe there are groups of people so dedicated to the idea of 2012 chaos that they facilitate it themselves through spreading paranoia beforehand?? It's not like it is all that farfetched. It also isn't like it would be extremely difficult to accomplish either. When I was graduating high school back in '99 there was the Y2k doom crowd. I remember how many people were convinced that we would graduate and a few months later be living in a wasteland of anarchy and chaos. I remember working part time at my best friends dad's computer consulting company, we also built custom boxes and the question every single person asked "can it be made Y2k compliant?"
"Yeah sure, for a little bit extra we can assure 100% Year 2000 compliance"
"O.k. dad, how do I make it Y2k Compliant?"
"Just make a wallpaper in MS Paint that looks professional and says "guaranteed y2k functionality" and put one of these stickers on."

The same principal seems to apply to the 2012 mess...

"Can I survive 2012?"
"If you buy my book, buy my custom made survival kit, then you have a real good chance."
"What do I put in the survival kit and book, boss?"
"Just give 'em some band-aids, a few MRE's from the gun show, a light stick, and one of those oversize peices of aluminum foil. Then write a few dozen pages about finding shelter, digging a hole in the ground, buying candles and how to signal the Space Brothers with their aluminum brain wave helmets during the Dimensional Gate Rift just prior to the Pole shift."

People are profiting from this, as people always profit from fear. There are "publishers" like Yowbooks (Nibiru will kill us in 2012 nutjobs) as well as a cadre of other snake oil peddlers expouding every end of the world scenario that the human brain is seemingly capable of. Everything from a lost planet called Nibiru that flys by and wreaks havoc to Reptilian Nephilim alien boogeyman returning to re-enslave us all. Interdimensional Monsters, Pole Shifts causing the continents to fold over on themselves, UFO armadas, you name it. If all the theories of how we will die that fateful year all proved correct, it would be an epic sight to see. Monsters coming through a dimensional gate to get wasted by gun toting alien who's ships are being smacked into dust by Nibiru floating on by all while earth's asshole and nose trade places. Ahhh....epic. Through all this seemingly neurotic end 'o' days drivel, there have been some folks who actually have managed to put together coherent, believable, and even....dare I say well written books/theories about our impending superdoom. They are the ones that I think may do the most damage in the long run. I don't necessarily believe the more educated and down to earth guys are the ones PURPOSELY pushing people to insanity, but the clarity and the plausibility of their works could be a more effective trigger on a loaded and fragile mind. Even worse than that a group of fragile minds, of which there are plenty. There is a danger and a threat in just the FEAR of 2012. Tragedy on a smaller scale could be taking root in just the very idea and marketing of 2012. If that is the case and if innocent people are robbed, killed and die due to no disaster but due to just FEAR of the disaster. Who will take responsibility for that? I think we can agree one thing. No one will, even if they are and should. More 2012 hating to come. 2012 haters like me, unite. Fear the Afraid
