2012 Mayan Calendar 'Doomsday' Date Might Be Wrong

 This article should get some of us more rational regarding the big hype about 2012, Planet X, and Doomsday... being reasonable is the hardest thing to do when overcome with extreme feelings of fear, despair, or even rapture. So open your mind to the idea that it could all be a spook, and we will all laugh about it on December 22, 2012. Otherwise, would you want to be the one to clean up the mess that Doomsday will leave behind? Would you want to survive Doomsday? Leave your comment: The Mayans Never Predicted the Doomsday Before continuing, it's worth emphasizing that this mesoamerican calendar (used by several cultures -- including the Maya -- in Central and South America before European colonization) does not predict an apocalypse. It never did, despite what the movie "2012" told us . The Mayan civilization existed from 250-900 A.D. in the current geographical location of southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador,  and some of Honduras. Archaeologists...

Reconsider Columbus Day.

1492 Christopher Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue... Christopher Columbus was a man of his time; like all settlers, he was looking to make money, and slavery was one way... In 1485 the inquisition was at its pinnacle; Spain was ruled by the Catholic King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Columbus was already a middle age man when he approached Spain's queen and king. He dreamed of a fantastic voyage over the sea and bringing back gold, spices, and slaves like Marco Polo and others have done over land and, like them, received great wealth, honor, and titles in return. Quick Facts Christopher Columbus was a brilliant navigator. Christopher Columbus never set foot on mainland North America. The closest he got was one of the present-day Bahamas islands. Columbus did not have any women on his first two voyages. In 1498, Columbus recruited one woman for every ten men on his third voyage. Neither Columbus nor the Vikings discovered the "New World," as people settled it centurie...

Guantanamo - Guidebook.

How can we ever be the leader of the civilized world when our government acts like the government we sanction for their Human Right Violation. British Channel 4 engaged the Team Delta Cadre to recreate the Guantanamo Bay interrogation experience. At the production company’s request, along with Team Delta’s standard interrogation approach, the cadre reenacted several events reported at Guantanamo. In most cases, these reenacted events were counterproductive to the interrogation plan developed by Team Delta. This plan had learned 80% of the requested intelligence within the first few hours of capture. Prisoner 73 on his experience: Total deprivation of sleep, food and water. Exposure to extreme heat and cold. Up to 20 minutes in stress positions. Up to 2 hours listening to white noise… Plus, any other interrogation technique deemed acceptable by the interrogation team’ By any standards, the waiver I signed for “Guantanamo Guidebook” was unique. Two weeks later, when I was lying naked...

POST CARD FROM HELL

The world's most Failed States. " Somalia" Powered by GoodWidgets.com For the last half-decade, the Fund for Peace, working with Foreign Policy, has been putting together the Failed States Index , using a battery of indicators to determine how stable -- or unstable -- a country is. But as the photos demonstrate, sometimes the best test is the simplest: You'll only know a failed state when you see it. 1. SOMALIA FSI score: 114.3 (out of 120) Somalia has topped the Failed States Index for the last three years -- a testament to the depth of the country's long-running political and humanitarian disaster and, as James Traub writes , to the international community's inability to find an answer. After two decades of chaos , the country is mainly under the control of Islamist militant groups, the most notorious and powerful of which is al-Shabab. A second faction, Hizbul Islam, rivals the former in brutality -- it recently executed two Somalis for the crime o...

What do you know about Islam?

Yesterday six million of Jewish, Tomorrow ... millions of Muslims were. Throughout history, targeted propaganda by politicians and leaders has been used to manipulate the masses to vilify and demonize a segment of the population.  Today with the help of global technology, propaganda is spearheading a hidden agenda. Vilifying Islam and its people, demonizing it to justify genocide. In the United States, the general populations are media and technology junkies; views are like lobotomized, robotized souls brainwashed to behave and think as we are told and should fit in.  Our free will is just an illusion. Can you be part of this society without a credit card? A credit score? ... Why are we so easily sawed to condemn an entire Religion because of the action of a few fanatics, Nationalists, and extremist Muslims?  are the Crusade, the inquisition, and the KKK a representation of Christianity? Educate yourself; yesterday, it was six million of Jewish, is tomorrow ... millions ...

Who are the Turks?

( The Göktürk Empire in 600 )  The name Turk (Chinese: 突厥, pinyin: tū jué; Jyutping: duk kyu) was first applied to a clan of tribal chieftains (known as Ashina ) who overthrew the ruling Rouran confederacy and founded the nomadic Göktürk Empire ("Celestial Turks").  These nomads roamed in the Altai Mountains (and thus are known as Altaic peoples) in northern Mongolia and on the steppes of Central Asia. The Göktürks were ruled by Khans, whose influences extended during the sixth to eighth centuries from the Aral Sea to the Hindu Kush in the land bridge known as Transoxania. In the eighth century, some Turkic tribes, among them the Oghuz, moved south of the Oxus River, while others migrated west to the northern shore of the Black Sea.   Türk spread as a political designation during the period of Göktürk imperial hegemony to their subject Turkic and non-Turkic peoples. Subsequently, it was adopted as a generic ethnonym designating most, if not all, of the Turkic-speaki...
