Cyborg:
No my bro is just speculating. He's got the date wrong though. the date is 12-21-12
There are several converging factors which point to this date as both the End and Beginning of something important:
1. The Mayan Calendar
In short the Mayan calendar was created based upon the Mayan's estimation of the beginning of the world/creation, thus leading some to think that when it ends on December 21, 2012 it means something.
2. Terrence McKenna's TimeWave Zero
TimeWave Zero supposedly measures fluctuations in novelty. Between now and then it gets crazy and on December 21, 2001 it curves up to infinity
3. The "Tree of Life" is Prominent
The Milky Way, as most of us know, extends in a general north-south direction in the night sky. This forms a trunk, the ?Axis Mundi.? The plane of the ecliptic is the track the Sun, Moon, planets and stars appear to travel in the sky, from east to west. It intersects the Milky Way at a 60 degree angle near the constellation Sagittarius forming the main branch. Now get this, the Maya had a name for t his cosmic cross formed by the intersecting Milky Way and plane of the ecliptic. They called it the ?Sacred Tree? or in other words, the ?Tree of Life.? The next time our Sun crosses exactly that point, that is it will be exactly within the Tree of Life is December 21, 2012.
4. Oroborus - Suntelia Aion
The Milky Way Galaxy is the inspiration for the symbol of the Ouroborus. Myth refers to a serpent of light residing in the heavens. The Milky Way is this serpent, and viewed at galactic central point near sagittarius, this serpent eats its own tail. The Milky Way galaxy keeps a great time cycle that ends in catastrophic change. The sign of the Suntelia Aion is the sun rising out of the mouth of the ouroboros, which will occur on the solstice December 2012.
The Greeks called the End of the Age the Suntelia Aion Ancient historians and especially Plato referred to a cycle of catastrophe at the End of the Age. The AION was symbolized by the Ouroboros.
5. Magnetic Pole Switch
Ok so that is pretty coincidental and interesting right. Well, I was reading some science magazine or news article the other day, I can't remember which, and it was talking about how the Earth is getting some funky solar radiation, etc. because the Sun is in the middle of switching its magnetic poles. Apparently, the Sun changes its magnetic poles every 11 years. The last change was 2001. Which puts the next change at 2012. Wanna bet on the date?
6. The Election of Hilary Clinton
The election of Hilary Clinton as President in 2012 will be the catalyst of a global-economic crisis ultimately resulting in a second American Civil War between the Red States Alliance and the Blue States Confederacy. Liberals will be marked and hunted down like Al Quaeda terrorists but President Clinton will escape and receive asylum in France.
