Crystal Skulls? 2012?

[Gear]

Can you imagine if geoengineering technology was used against the people in 2012? I can just picture the media puppets going on and on about how we are in dire need of ending global warming and therefore need a carbon tax, suggesting to everyone else that if we don't, the world will END on 12/21/12, because obviously that's what the Maya predicted, don'tcha know.

Additionally, the Mayan Long Count calendar doesn't "run out" in 2012.

The blueprints for the Mayan calendar were very recently discovered and outline prophecies for many millenia to come, so there should no longer be worry for anyone about a prophetic end of the world in 2012. Even before these blueprints were dusted off, I often quoted the only prophet with a proven track record in our own time- Edgar Cacey. While Mr. Cacey was deeply religious and earnestly believed in a second coming of the Messiah, he had predictions for many hundreds of years into our future. The legend behind the crystal skulls is a vague one at best and several of the crystal skulls have been proven to be 20th Century forgeries. The Mitchell-Hedges skull has yet to be proven imperically as a modern-day hoax, but the convenient circumstances surrounding its discovery are a bit questionable. Fake or not, I think people should take care they don't assume that physical items denote truth in very old legends.
