Strange Feeling In The Air
“There’s a strange feeling in the air, Stealin’ minds without a care/There’s a strange feeling in the air/Telling me I must be scared” – Ryan Bingham
How do you know when something isn’t true? It’s reported in the media as absolute fact. So all of this to do about the Mayans predicting the end of the world is hogwash. The Mayans were pretty smart cookies, MIT stood for Mayan Institute of Technology long before the college moved to the People’s Republic of Cambridge.
The Mayan calendar based on the numbers 13 and 20 (the two numbers with the most significance to the Mayans) has correctly predicted astrological events for centuries. The calendar actually continues indefinitely. December 21, 2012 simply marked the end of what is called a “long cycle” in the calendar. As correctly predicted by the Mayans over 500 years ago on December 21, 2012, the sun and the center of the Milky Way would be in perfect alignment. An event that only happens once every 26,000 years or so. The Mayans believed that this alignment created a doorway between the spirit world and the material world. On this particular date the Mayans believed that an evil spirit whose name I cannot spell much less pronounce would beset upon the earth. His arrival would be foreshadowed by natural disasters followed by cataclysmic events.
Before we dismiss the Mayans as some tattooed, nose-boned, loincloth wearing, coca leaf smoking primates let’s take a look at recent events. Super storm Sandy was the deadliest storm to strike the East Coast in decades. This weekend record setting blizzards are hammering two thirds of the country. In last weekends massacre twenty children were murdered; the total number of deaths 26 (2 x13). Remember the two most significant Mayan numbers? Mayans often sacrificed children in an attempt to appease their Gods. The Mayan end of the world prophecy is not so funny anymore, right? I suspect the worse is still to come.
Speaking of the massacre the NRA responded today. As stated here previously there is plenty of blame to go around however the NRA is the most culpable. It’s response: more guns in schools, shocking.
As we teeter on the fiscal cliff Congress in the ultimate F-You to voters recessed for Christmas vacation, unbelievable. Finally, Senator Ketchup (D-Mass) was finally nominated Secretary of State. Why does it feel like he was the last guy taken in a pick-up game? Maybe because Obama tried floating every other option, first? What do you think of when someone mentions Senator Ketchup? Absolutely nothing. The guy is an empty suit. He stands for zero and has accomplished less. Incompetence would be a major accomplishment for Ketchup. Once it was clear that Pakistan’s military, a recognized terrorist organization, was harboring Osama Bin Laden , Ketchup was quick to support continued aid in the form of $1 billion. Do you think the Mayan’s knew Ketchup was coming?
