2012 is a 12 year cyclic peak sunspot plasma eject year which the worst in modern time was during the telegraph era the systems then got fried.
If this happens again the satellites and many electronics are gone.WORST every power line transformer will be busted and will take two years to replace no jobs no electricity no power at gas station pumps no food refrigeration at supermarkets in North America.This would be apocalyptic indeed and the sunspot cycles happen every 12 years.One little burp from the sun totally fried the crude hardened old fashioned telegraph system a mere 140 years ago.
So if I predict *this end of the world* every twelve years some time eventually I will get it right on time.
Like with Y2K year 2000 this apocalyptic 2012 date will come and go what is good about it is it will saturate the public on doomsayers and I think will erode the WT credibility is already starting to. The Watch Tower used not only 1975.
The Watchtower Jehovah's Witnesses have predicted "the end" to happen in 1874, 1914, 1925, 1942, 1975, and before the end of the 20th century
