Hehe!  I know.  People have been pointing to the bible saying, "See?  Prophecy fulfilled," when the passage is so demonstrably vague, you can do the same with the bible you do with Nostradamus’ quatrains.  Speaking of whom, they keep waving his stuff around to "confirm" the Mayan non-prophecy.  Um, I hate to burst the bubble, but Nostradamus NEVER ONCE put a year in his writings.  

Why are people so gung-ho about global destruction anyway?  If they want to flail around in the bible, there are a BUNCH of things that have to happen before Armageddon, and they just can’t possibly do so in just three more years.  Calm down already! 

I have discovered a lot of people didn’t wait to hear the entire message before going off on tangents.  The new guidelines apply to women with little to no risk.  There were some ladies I heard saying, "Well, I’m going to keep doing it because my grandmother had breast cancer."  Hello?  The new guidelines say you certainly should.  No change.

I don’t understand people sometimes.   

I wrote a book.  Not only does mine have an index because I wasn’t afraid of people browsing it, it was organized topically rather than chronologically so people didn’t HAVE TO read all of it if they only had a few interests. 

I guess publishers don’t like that.  I stuffed it in the closet after my first rejection.  :::shrug::: 

I don’t have to click the link to debunk it.  I’m so tired of this whole "Mayan prophecy" thing.  It’s not a prophecy.  It’s a mistaken belief that since the Mayan calendar ends that means the world ends.  And it’s a mistaken belief that the Mayan calendar even ends in the first place.  This I already knew a couple of decades ago when the subject first interested me (and it soooo doesn’t anymore; it gives me a headache).  It doesn’t.  It cycles over to katun 2.  How am I doing?  

As far as any prophecy from the Mayans go—who were never once known for prophecy—There are little fortune cookie prophecies that go along with each katun.  Okay, I had to look these up.  The one for 4 is: There will be scarcities of corn and squash during this katun and this will lead to great mortality. This was the katun during which the settlement of Chichen Itza occurred, when the man-god Kukulcan arrived. It is the katun of remembering and recording knowledge.

Wow.  Hunger somewhere in the world.  Who coulda guessed? 

If people are going to give that much power to the Mayans, it’s katun 2 and 13 (the cycle backward by two) are the ones you need to look out for:

Katun 2: For half of the katun there will be food, for half some misfortunes. This katun brings the end of the "word of God." It is a time of uniting for a cause. 

Katun 13: This is a time of total collapse where everything is lost. It is the time of the judgment of God. There will be epidemics and plagues and then famine. Governments will be lost to foreigners and wise men, and prophets will be lost. 

Here’s my 2012 prophecy—People too lazy to learn for themselves will believe in false prophecies that will cause them great anxiety.  The false prophecy will be judged to be true when many murders, suicides, scams, and losses of wealth occur as the date draws near.  It will only be self-fulfilled.
