Doomsday...Genuine concern or load of Hocum?

With the end of days apparently fast approaching it would be interesting to find out peoples views.
If things are to be believed 21/12/12 is the day of reckoning.whether you subscribe to the UFO invasion/Mayan Text or Planet X (Niburu) theories,or you just think "Load of old tosh." Would be nice to see what you think.

This is the planet X theory.(Disturbing)

I'll let you know on December 22nd

I'm sure if you have an umbrella and wear wellingtons, you will be fine

love reading about all the conspiracy theories! sum1 brought 1 up about y the bbc moved from london to salford! is it because they know sumthin will happen during the olympics? i love reading about the illuminati and these famous people who have died and they are all "apparently" human sacrifices, mmmm!!

If you are convinced that the world is going to end the best thing to do would be to have a bet on it. I reckon the bookies will give you good odds on it. Thats what I did. Cant wait for it to happen.Will be so rich.

Has to be the hocum side for me. How many times have we had "the end is nigh" predicted? If it was to happen, at least we wont have to hear we told you so

Absolutely bollocks, in my very humble opinion.

Most people don't realise we came closer to "Doomsday" on a couple of occasions in th8 80's than we are ever likely to in the future.

What happened in the 80s?

Twice in 1983 Russian Forces went on high alert.

The first occasion was when a faulty sensor in a Russian satellite misinterpreted the sun's reflection off a cloud as a single American ICBM launch. Then it "detected" another.....and another. After 5 launches, the system registered an all out First Strike.

The Colonel on duty at the time chose to ignore the warning....luckily, he was correct, but he was reprimanded for overriding the system and pensioned off, to save the Russians any embarrasment.


Just over a month later, NATO was running an exercise (a War Game, no troops etc ever left base) Called Able Archer 83.

The Russians were of course monitoring and began to get reports that key Personnel were at their posts and there was a simulated move through all alert status from DEFCON5 to DEFCON1. Russian Agents panicked and reported all this as fact, rather than a simulation!

Russian forces were again placed on full alert as they believed an attack was imminent....Luckily, the exercise was soon over and Soviet agents reported that NATO was "standing down", when in reality the threat had never existed outside of a Command Post war game.
