News UpDate:  Osama Bin Laden is still DEAD!

It is the weekend once again and I can put all the bovine fecal matter (politics) behind for my usual 2 day break….last weekend my post on cavemen got a lot of attention, just wish all post were that good at producing comments, but I digress…..this Saturday I will post yet another controversial issue……this just sucks…if it happens!

We all have heard the predictions of the rapture or the end of the world or Ragnarook or whatever you want to call it…..we have had numerous prophets down through the ages predicting the end….fortunately most of them were idiots and self-serving little toads and were just playing to the base and their fears…and then we have those darn Maya……..,at least they were specific in their prediction…..21 December 2012….and oh boy has that let a can of worms out ….movies….books…TV shows…….everybody trying to cash in on the end of the world….and some doing damn well in making a profit off the story line……

But were the Maya the geniuses that they are portrayed?  Well they did build some massive pyramids without math or the use of fancy instruments…I mean Hell they did not even use the wheel….but they built massive cities and structures with a stick and string….that pretty much makes them geniuses in my book…..but what about this damn silly notion of the end of the world on 21 December 2012….come on…no one is that accurate in a prediction…right?

You might be surprised…oh doubting one!

Experts on the sun are very concerned as they see the sun awaking from its unusually long slumber with a violence unseen for generations. That violence could be in the form of mammoth magnetic storms. Those storms hitting the Earth will be like a giant’s fist slamming into the fragile electronic technology that runs the world. Hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis pale by comparison.

“We know it is coming but we don’t know how bad it is going to be,” Dr Richard Fisher, the director of NASA’s Heliophysics division, said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. “It will disrupt communication devices such as satellites and car navigation, air travel, the banking system, our computers, everything that is electronic. It will cause major problems for the world. “

During a solar superstorm most communication will be blasted out of existence; power will fail. Cities will be left without light and water and food will run out. Civil unrest will surge as society collapses in a matter of days. The US federal and state governments will be hard-pressed to restore order amongst 300 million people as mass starvation sets in and sources of fresh water dwindle.

One billion could die

Restoration of the infrastructure could take years—even a decade or more. During the interim more than a billion people could die worldwide—more if warfare breaks out between countries desperate for scarce resources.World renown American astrophysicist Dr. Michio Kaku, Professor of Theoretical Physics in the City College of New York of City University of New York and the co-founder of string field theory, is worried about a potential catastrophe and has joined in NASA’s warning.

Appearing recently on FoxNews, Kaku said, “We’re talking about a potential Katrina from space.”

But Kaku sees the disaster as 10 times greater than Katrina-perhaps even worse than that. “We’d be thrown 100 years into the past,” he explained. The transition to the 1800s would occur as quickly as flipping a light switch off.

Geez…looks like the Maya were not the backward barbarians that we were taught….it may not be the end of the world….but it could seem like it if all electronics goes down……people would kill themselves without their iPad, iPod and i Phone……

People might want to pay attention……things could get pretty dicey in 2012….may not be on the exact date as predicted…..but damn close and from a people that did not use the wheel…..
