The Mayan Calendar Doomsday Prophecy Hoax explained

Time Text
Hi there, this is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, with a Mayan calendar update for December 2012.
I'm recording this a couple of weeks before December 21st.
Well, not quite a couple of weeks.
Week and a half.
Before December 21st, 2012, with the anti-warning.
This is an anti-warning.
Do not be concerned about December 21st, or 22nd, or whatever, of 2012.
Nothing is going to happen, other than just whatever people make happen themselves.
Yeah, a lot of groups are going to get together and hold meditations and prayers, and a few really crazy people might kill themselves for whatever reason.
But that's just self-inflicted stuff.
Nothing big is going to happen in a cosmic scale.
The end of the universe is not coming.
The Earth is not going to be struck by another planet or a giant rock, a giant asteroid.
Nothing big is going to happen.
So, don't fall for it.
I've got to agree with Alex Jones on this one.
That every few months there's another big cosmic scare that's sort of pushed around the internet.
Oh, the comet...
What was it called?
Nibiru or something is going to hit us.
Or the planet Nibiru.
I don't even know.
I don't remember the name.
But there's always another object that they say is going to hit us.
And I'm here to tell you, don't bet on that.
Now, there are legitimate threats to Earth, by the way.
There is a lot of stuff floating around there in outer space.
Large chunks of rock moving at very high velocity, for example, with a lot of momentum that can actually end civilization as we know it on our planet.
Such rocks have struck us before.
Remember the dinosaurs in your history books?
Well, they were apparently wiped out by a giant asteroid, striking Earth.
In fact, some cosmologists say that the Moon was created by a very violent collision with the Earth many millions of years ago.
Maybe hundreds of millions of years ago.
I don't know the timeline, but that the Moon is actually a fragment of what used to be Earth that's still orbiting the Earth.
I don't know if that's true, But if you had been around on that day, it would have definitely felt like some kind of Mayan prophecy world coming to an end.
Like, literally, the world that existed then came to, well, I guess split up and became two worlds, so to speak.
In any case, there's a lot of...
There's a lot of people who just...
I don't know.
They take it too far.
They don't pay attention to the real threats that there are to our civilization.
And I'll name some.
For example, the loss of topsoils.
The loss of forests across the planet.
Massive deforestation.
How about ocean acidification?
And the loss of coral life all around the planet.
The pH of the ocean is changing.
How about the loss of freshwater supplies?
For example, there's a giant aquifer in the Midwest that provides water for many of the crops grown throughout Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Kansas even.
That's called the Ogallala Aquifer.
And it's going to run out in about one generation.
That's about 20 to 25 years.
Boom, it's gone.
Massive dust bowl across the Midwest.
Nobody's talking about that.
Or how about Yellowstone?
It's a giant caldera, like a hidden volcano.
And it erupts every 600,000 years or so.
And when it erupts, it coats most of North America in a giant blanket of ash.
And it actually blots out the sun for a year or two, causing most crops to fail all around the world.
It does that every 600,000 years or so.
And It's, quote, overdue, although that doesn't mean anything mathematically, really.
But it could happen any day.
That's a legitimate issue, whereas the Mayan calendar thing is not.
So you get all these people that focus their energies on things that are fabricated, Mayan calendar, while they're completely ignoring the things that are real, such as the pharmaceutical contamination of the water supply.
There's drugs in your water.
There's antidepressants in your water, folks.
There's hormone replacement drugs in your water.
That's real.
That's here right now.
We don't need a Mayan calendar to tell us that things are jacked up on our planet right now.
All you've got to do is open your eyes and look around.
What about the rise of the police state?
What about the crushing of freedom?
The rise of tyranny?
How about that?
How about the...
The over-exploitation of natural resources on our planet, not just oil, but also things like rare earth minerals, which are completely necessary to manufacture solar panels, electronics, wind farms, and yet China controls most of the supply.
And isn't it interesting, by the way, just as a side note, that all those clean technologies that you think of as being clean and green, like solar and wind, and Prius cars, they use all these rare earths That come out of the dirtiest mines you can imagine in China.
Which are just destroying the environment there.
So that's just a little side note.
One of the contradictions that's out there in society.
I never tell you that green is actually very dirty.
If it's using those rare earth metals.
In any case, there are real issues that threaten us right now.
One of the big ones is the global debt pyramid.
There is a global debt collapse coming.
The derivatives...
The debt system will collapse.
And believe me, that's going to collapse a lot sooner than, let's say, the Yellowstone caldera is going to explode.
The debt collapse will happen way before we get hit by another massive asteroid.
The debt collapse will happen in your lifetime and my lifetime, almost certainly.
Whereas this Mayan calendar thing probably won't happen at all.
Nothing to it.
I know it's kind of fun.
It's kind of fun to be freaked out sometimes.
Something's a little spooky out there.
Kind of play with it.
Oh, you know, maybe the Mayans knew something.
Well, I'll tell you, they didn't even have an alphabet, okay?
They couldn't even write words.
They wrote it in symbols, in hieroglyphics.
So they didn't even have an alphabet.
The Mayans were not geniuses.
Look, I've lived in South America.
This is not an advanced civilization.
In fact, I've got to tell you, historically, Iranians, Persians, are way smarter than the Mayans.
The Persians, present-day Iran, are very intelligent people.
I'm not saying that I like the politics of Iran or anything like that.
Not even getting into that.
Just saying the Persian people are very smart.
That's the cradle of civilization in that region, in the Middle East, along the River Nile, you know, what used to be Persia, present-day Iraq.
Cradle of civilization.
A lot of people forget that.
They think, oh, we're so smart over here in North America.
We have computers.
We have the internet.
What do you use it for?
Porn, mostly.
Yep, that's what you do with it, isn't it?
Use it for porn.
Oh, and your social networking.
Oh, and your tweets.
Your tweets and your porn and your social networking.
How is that advanced civilization?
It isn't.
Alright, I'm getting off track here.
Sorry, getting off topic.
I like to think skeptically about all these different things.
But anyway, getting back to the Mayan calendar, the Mayans didn't have Facebook.
If the Mayans had Facebook, what would they have posted?
Beware, December 21st, 2012.
Facebook is coming to an end.
That would have been the Mayan post, right?
No, um...
The Mayans...
Look, there's a lot to admire about Mayan civilization and Inca civilization.
Ancient wisdom is legitimate.
There's a lot that we can learn from them.
They were great observers of the night sky, mostly because they didn't have electricity, and so they could actually see the night sky.
It wasn't polluted with light.
Street lights and such.
They could see the night sky.
They observed the motion of the planets.
Versus the stars and the planets were called the wanderers because they moved independently from the stars and a lot of stories and a lot of explanations that they attempted to come up with to explain all that, what was going on.
Why does the night sky move in weird and strange ways?
So they have a lot of closeness with nature.
One thing I really admire about The Inca, in particular, was their closeness with nature.
How they were able to craft these amazing structures out of massive, like 20-ton stones that they dragged all the way up the hill at Machu Picchu, which I visited, I toured, I saw this with my own eyes.
It's amazing what they did with architecture, what they did with rock.
What about the pyramids?
How were the pyramids even constructed at that scale with that technology?
That lack of technology that existed at that time, even the time we're not even sure.
Some alternative geologists believe that the Sphinx could have been constructed as long as 10,000 years ago, maybe even longer, maybe 12,000 years ago.
So there's a lot about history that we're not being told.
Nevertheless, none of this means that the world is going to end on December 21st, 2012.
And the danger of believing in that Is that you tend to make bad decisions about everything that happens after that.
I know, well, I don't know personally, but I've heard of people who are out there spending all kinds of money, maxing out their credit cards, saying, I won't have to pay this off!
Because the world is going to end on December 21st, and I'm pretty sure that means I won't have to pay my credit card.
See, now that is crazy thinking.
But some people do that.
They do that.
They believe it.
And there are going to be a few people out there who are so emotionally invested in this that when the world doesn't end on December 21st, they will kill themselves to make sure it ends for them.
And then, I guess, they won't have to pay their credit card bill after all.
Not a very good way to get out of debt.
But some people will choose that path for whatever reason, and I wish them a wonderful journey.
To each his own.
Just don't hurt anybody else, for God's sake, right?
Anyway, poor decision making is rampant across society today.
The intelligent people out there, and I don't care what your political spectrum is, what your scientific beliefs or non-beliefs are, I don't care.
If you're smart, you're going to plan for your future.
That is a sign of intelligence, planning for your future.
And you will still exist after December 21st.
So I encourage you to plan accordingly.
There will be a 2013.
And there will be a 2014 and a 2015.
And I don't know about you, but I intend to be here.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not ending at all.
I'm not expecting the universe to collapse.
I'm going to be here.
I'll be posting YouTube videos.
Posting on Facebook.
Using that technology for something good for a change.
Tweeting out the truth about health freedom.
How's that sound?
Liberty.
Restoring the republic that used to be called America.
But I will be here, and I hope you're still here, so that we can face the real challenges to our civilization.
Because we are in a kind of collapse, actually, a kind of slow-motion collapse.
The culture is collapsing.
The IQ of the population is collapsing.
The political spectrum is full of collapse.
The financial system is collapsing.
There is a lot of collapse going on, and it's going to be a wild ride as we go through that collapse and hopefully restore things on the other side with a sense of optimism and rebuilding and restoration.
But I just want to make sure that you approach this with a sense of sanity.
Don't fall for every internet myth about an asteroid or a comet or an ancient civilization or a Bible verse that says the world is going to end on May 5th or whatever.
Whatever the day happens to be.
Don't fall for it, okay?
Instead, invest your time, your energy, and your intention in planning for the future.
