2012: Cataclysmic breakdown or Y2K makeover? ET/UFO contact? DNA/Consciousness transformation?

FIG A - B. Hand Clow: Solar system & supernova Vela fragment c. 9500 BC

This article is part 1 of a series on 2012 and its impacts on our society.

As a designated “year of interest,” 2012 has been front-loaded with “end of the world” memes.  Will 2012 be a year of cataclysmic breakdown as science, oracle-driven, governmental, and media-created memes suggest?  Will 2012 be – like Y2K – an anti-climax in which humanity muddles through?  Or will a new, “golden age” timeline begin for conscious humankind in 2012? How will consciousness transformation and extraterrestrial contact impact humanity, starting in 2012?

Key data addressing this Examiner.com examination of the possible future shape of 2012 include: (1) A NASA reports and updates on the 2012 “perfect storm,” solar flares and power grid systems collapse; (2) Opposite data that we may be headed toward a solar Maunder minimum and new ice age; (3) ALTA and Web Bot reports on a “’data gap’ found between early 2012 running through May 2013, possibly due to solar flare activity;” (4) Reports “supporting a hypothesis that large scale “wild card” event(s), involving mass extraterrestrial (UFO) sightings or landings in the period leading up to 2012 or beyond;” (5) The Calleman-Clow time acceleration matrix of the Mayan calendar, which suggests that  “the alternating sign-wave universe core energy phenomenon ceases after Oct. 28, 2011, and Earth will be set on a gradual setting of a potential to reach advanced utopian planet status – a virtual “Garden of Eden.”

This Examiner.com series examines objective, empirical evidence for cataclysm on Earth in 2012.  The year 2012 may also manifest for individuals as breakdown, breakthrough, or business as usual, depending on an individual’s perceptual modality and multi-dimensional identity.

2012: Solar flares & the cataclysm meme

Will 2012 bring the “perfect storm” and systems collapse? – the solar flare Carrington event boogeyman

Let us examine the spectrum of science-based opinion on the possible impacts of solar storms during the coming solar maximum of solar cycle 24 (2009-2020), which NASA in its latest solar forecast expects in May 2013.

At one extreme, a January 2009 report by the National Academy of Sciences funded by NASA warned that solar flares during the solar maximum could cause up to $2 trillion (or more) in damage in the U.S., with millions of potential deaths. As Examiner.com reported, “Mainstream scientific concern about 2012 has grown since a recent National Research Council report funded by NASA and issued by the National Academy of Sciences, entitled ‘Severe Space Weather Events: Understanding Economic and Societal Impact’ which details the potential devastation of 2012 solar storms on the current planetary energy grid and because of the inter-linkages of a cybernetic society, on our entire human civilization.  

“According to New Scientist, science’s concern is a repetition of the 8-day 1859 “Carrington event,” a large solar flare accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME) that flung billions of tons of solar plasma onto the earth’s magnetosphere and disrupted Victorian-era magnetometers and the world telegraph system.

“The New Scientist states, ‘The report outlines the worst case scenario for the U.S. The ‘perfect storm’ is most likely on a spring or autumn night in a year of heightened solar activity - something like 2012.  Around the equinoxes, the orientation of the Earth's field to the sun makes us particularly vulnerable to a plasma strike.’

“The next solar maximum is expected to occur in [2013]. New Scientist reports that Mike Hapgood, head of the European Space Agency's space weather team states,  ‘We're in the equivalent of an idyllic summer's day. The sun is quiet and benign, the quietest it has been for 100 years,’ ‘but it could turn the other way.’

“The modern electrical high-power grid magnifies the impact of solar flares.  Since the grid is linked into major aspects of modern society, the effects of another Carrington event would be devastating.  The National Academy of Sciences report states:  ‘A severe space weather event in the US could induce ground currents that would knock out 300 key transformers within about 90 seconds, cutting off the power for more than 130 million people.’  The New Scientist states: ‘According to the NAS report, the impact of what it terms a "severe geomagnetic storm scenario’ could be as high as $2 trillion. And that's just the first year after the storm. The NAS puts the recovery time at four to 10 years. It is questionable whether the US would ever bounce back.”

A more perfect storm? The hole in the earth’s magnetic field

According to a December 16, 2008 report, NASA’s THEMIS spacecraft has discovered a hole in earth’s magnetic field that is 10 times as large as previously thought.  The magnetosphere, which is designed to protect earth from the plasma of solar flares, now has a hole in it four times the size of the earth.

According to the NASA report, “Northern IMF events don't actually trigger geomagnetic storms but they do set the stage for storms by loading the magnetosphere with plasma. A loaded magnetosphere is primed for auroras, power outages, and other disturbances that can result when, say, a CME (coronal mass ejection) hits.”

The solar maximum is expected in 2012.  University of New Hampshire scientist Jimmy Raeder states, “"We're entering Solar Cycle 24. For reasons not fully understood, CMEs in even-numbered solar cycles (like 24) tend to hit Earth with a leading edge that is magnetized north. Such a CME should open a breach and load the magnetosphere with plasma just before the storm gets underway. It's the perfect sequence for a really big event."

2012: Fire or ice? The maunder minimum extremists

At the other extreme, some scientists are forecasting not solar storms, but the return of a new ice age for the 2012 year range.

As Examiner.com has reported, “in an April 2, 2009 article, retired U.S. Navy physicist and engineer James A. Marusek writes: “The sun has gone very quiet as it transitions to Solar Cycle 24…. We are now at a crossroad. Two paths lie before us. Both are marked with a signpost that reads “Danger”! Down one path lie monstrous solar storms. Down the other path lie several decades of crushing cold temperatures and global famine.” “A quiet sun will cause temperatures globally to take a nose-dive. We will experience temperatures that we have not seen in over 200 years, during the time of the early pioneers.

“(2) The Sun slipping quietly towards a Dalton Minimum or even a Grand Minima such as a Maunder Minimum.

“Climate change is primarily driven by nature. It has been true in the days of my father and his father and all those that came before us. Because of science, not junk science, we have slowly uncovered some of the fundamental mysteries of nature. Our Milky Way galaxy is awash with cosmic rays. These are high-speed charged particles that originate from exploding stars. Because they are charged, their travel is strongly influenced by magnetic fields. Our sun produces a magnetic field wrapped in the solar winds that extends to the edges of our solar system.

“This field deflects many of the cosmic rays away from Earth. But when the sun goes quiet (minimal sunspots), this field collapses inward allowing high-energy cosmic rays to penetrate deeper into our solar system. As a result, far greater numbers collide with Earth and penetrate down into the lower atmosphere where they ionize small particles of moisture (humidity) forming them into water droplets that become clouds. Low-level clouds reflect sunlight back into space.

"An increase in Earth's cloud cover produce a global drop in temperature.

“If the sun becomes quieter than the old solar cycles, producing more than 1028 spotless days, then we might slip into a Dalton Minimum or maybe even a Grand Minima such as the Maunder Minimum. This solar state will last for decades. Several solar scientists have predicted this will begin in Solar Cycle 25, about a decade from now. But a few have predicted this will occur now in Solar Cycle 24. A quiet sun will cause temperatures globally to take a nose-dive. We will experience temperatures that we have not seen in over 200 years, during the time of the early pioneers.

“Temperatures are already falling. Satellites provide generally the most accurate atmospheric temperature measurements covering the entire globe. From the peak year 1998, the lower Troposphere temperatures globally have fallen around 1/2 degree Celsius due to the quiet sun.

This is despite the fact that during that same time period, atmospheric carbon dioxide (at Mauna Loa) has risen 5% from 367 ppm to 386 ppm. The main threat from a ‘Dalton Minimum’ or ‘Maunder Minimum’ event is famine and starvation (affecting millions or hundreds of millions worldwide) due to shortened growing seasons and harsher weather. In the past, in addition to great famines, this cold harsh weather has also lead to major epidemics.

A taste of the cold weather due to a quiet sun.

“Evidence of the Mississippi River, Ohio River, Allegheny River, Delaware River and Hudson River at the New York Harbor freezing and of very harsh winters.

“Recent periods of quiet sun were the Dalton Minimum (1790-1830 A.D.), the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715 A.D.) and the Spörer Minimum (1420 to 1570 A.D.). The Maunder Minimum and Spörer Minimum were solar Grand Minima and each were individually referred to as the Little Ice Age.”

2012: “Solar Cycle 24 will peak in May 2013 with a below-average number of sunspots”

There is uncertainty and published misinformation about solar cycle 24.  One unofficial source who charges his readers money for his articles - Mitch Battros -  states, "Solar Cycle 24 has begun - and it has been predicted by NASA, NOAA and ESA to be up to 50% stronger than its 'record breaking' predecessor Cycle 23 which produced the largest solar flare ever recorded. The Sun will reach its 'apex' (maximum) in late 2011 into 2012."

A recent prediction by NASA contradicts Mitch Battros and Earthchangesmedia.com and states that the solar maximum will be in May 2013, "with a below-average number of sunspots."

On May 29, 2009, NASA reported that “an international panel of experts led by NOAA and sponsored by NASA has released a new prediction for the next solar cycle. Solar Cycle 24 will peak, they say, in May 2013 with a below-average number of sunspots.

‘If our prediction is correct, Solar Cycle 24 will have a peak sunspot number of 90, the lowest of any cycle since 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 peaked at 78,’ says panel chairman Doug Biesecker of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center.  

In the same report, NASA also noted that, “It is tempting to describe such a cycle as ‘weak’ or ‘mild,’ but that could give the wrong impression.

"’Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather,’ points out Biesecker. ‘The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013.’

Note that NASA cannot resist highlighting the Carrington event “boogeyman” to frighten us all about 2012.  “The 1859 storm--known as the "Carrington Event" after astronomer Richard Carrington who witnessed the instigating solar flare--electrified transmission cables, set fires in telegraph offices, and produced Northern Lights so bright that people could read newspapers by their red and green glow. A recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause $1 to 2 trillion in damages to society's high-tech infrastructure and require four to ten years for complete recovery. For comparison, Hurricane Katrina caused ‘only’ $80 to 125 billion in damage.”

NASA, then, is still promoting the plausibility of Carrington event scenario.  A Carrington-like event last took place in 1859, 153 years from 2012.  The operant question is:

Do Carrington event-like solar flares occur as often as every 153 years?

Although another Carrington event-like solar flare is possible, leading edge scientific analysis appears to conclude that “the probabilities of occurrence cannot be assigned with any reasonable accuracy.”

In “The extreme magnetic storm of 1–2 September 1859,”  B. T. Tsurutani, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, USA, W. D. Gonzalez, Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and  G. S. Lakhina and S. Alex, Indian Institute of Geomagnetism, Mumbai/Bombay, India explore the issue of how often 1859 Carrington event-like solar flares occur.

They write, “It is found that both the 1–2 September 1859 solar flare energy and the associated coronal mass ejection speed were extremely high but not unique. Other events with more intense properties have been detected; thus a storm of this or even greater intensity may occur again. Because the data for the high-energy tails of solar flares and magnetic storms are extremely sparse, the tail distributions and therefore the probabilities of occurrence cannot be assigned with any reasonable accuracy.

“How rare was the 1–2 September 1859 solar flare/ solar ejecta event? Is it possible that an event of this intensity could happen again in the near future? Since the early measurements of visible ‘white light’ flares, scientists have determined that there is radiation at a variety of other wavelengths as well. Using general scalings, Lin and Hudson [1976] have estimated the August 1972 flare to have had a total energy ranging from 1032 to 1033 ergs. Kane et al. [1995] have estimated the more recent 1 June 1991 flare to have had an extreme energy of 1034 ergs. For comparison, D. Neidig (private communication, 2001) has calculated the 1859 white light flare energy based on the Carrington [1859] report. The assumptions made are the peak flux is equal to the brightest white light flares measured thus far ( 100% enhancement over the background photospheric intensities), duration of  5 min, area 7 1017 cm2. Assuming a typical flare photometric spectrum (up to 300% brighter in the near-UV), Neidi derived a total optical output of  2 1030 ergs. K. Harvey (private communication, 2001) has estimated that this [1859] flare was most probably 1032 ergs.

“The recent Kane et al. [1995] results have shown that the previously thought ‘‘upper limit’’ of 1032 ergs for the energy of a flare can be broken by a wide margin. Our time span of observations has been quite limited (only hundreds of years), and it is therefore doubtful that we have detected events at the saturation limit (either flares or magnetic storms). Can the Sun have flares at superflare energy (1038–1039 ergs) levels? Most probably not [see Lingenfelter and Hudson, 1980], but perhaps 1035 ergs is feasible for our Sun. The effects of an accompanying perfect magnetic storm might be catastrophic.”

The methodology of Web Bot and ALTA reports

Clif High, a developer of the Web Bot predictive technology has stated, “It is worth noting that almost invariably, accurate future predictive behavior is related to threat conditions. As with our [Web Bot] software, it would appear that humans and animals can much more easily ‘feel’ a threat coming than a blessing. It is likely very true that humans in general owe continued species existence to accurate future predictive behavior.”

The Web Bot project on which the ALTA reports are based uses software to “search the Internet for about 300,000 keywords with emotional context and record the preceding and following words to create a ‘snapshot.’  Through this, the technology is claimed to be able to examine the collective unconscious of the world as a whole. It is thus said to be able to predict catastrophic [and other] events 60 to 90 days in advance.”  The Web Bot is claimed to have accurately predicted the September 11, 2001 terror attacks in June 2001, as well as the blackout of the Northeastern United States in 2003. The project was unsuccessful in predicting a Vancouver, B.C. and Pacific Northwest earthquake for December 12, 2008. The Web Bot 2009 prediction "dumping of the US dollar" came true on October 23, 2009, with reports of China's initial efforts to make the Yuan an international currency.

2012 & the Web Bot- ALTA reports

Recent ALTA and Web Bot reports have found a “’data gap’ has been found between early 2012 running through May 2013. One explanation is that ‘our civilization gets knocked back to a pre-electronic state,’ such as brought about by devastating solar activity.”

This possible ‘data gap’ would be an artifact of the worst case scenario predicted by the January 2009 NAS report as to the devastation caused by a repetition of a Carrington-type event during the 2012-13 solar maximum.

As we have seen, mainstream scientists have concluded that, “the probabilities of occurrence [of another Carrington event] cannot be assigned with any reasonable accuracy.”

There are at least two possible 2012 futures, based on the current Web Bot:  

(1) 2012 meme - One possibility is that the Web Bot technology may be detecting the presence on the Internet of an escalating meme regarding a “repetition of a Carrington-type event during the 2012-13 solar maximum,” rather than an actual future event.

(2) 2012 Carrington-type event solar flare - Another possibility is that the Web Bot technology has done what mainstream science now says cannot be “assigned with any reasonable accuracy,” and Web Bot is accurately predicting a repetition of a Carrington-type solar flare or related event for 2012-13.
 
2012: Pole shift, super-cataclysm meme and catastrophobia

Web Bot developer Clif High at halfpasthuman.com also points us in the direction of Patrick Geryl, whose predictions for 2012 include a perfect magnetic storm of the sort that mainstream science considers at the outer boundaries of what our Sun is capable of, presumably as high as 1035 ergs.
 
"The Pole Shift in 2012" meme

Patrick Geryl, who now dedicates himself fulltime to 2012 survival activities, believes that 2012 will bring a repetition of a cataclysm on Earth that took place in 9792 B.C.  

His website states, "Patrick Geryl came to the staggering conclusion that the Earth will soon be subjected to an immense disaster. The cause: upheavals in the sun's magnetic fields will generate gigantic solar flares that will affect the polarity of the entire Earth. The result: our magnetic field will reverse all at once, with catastrophic consequences for humanity.

“Massive earthquakes will demolish all buildings on the planet, and instigate colossal tsunamis and intense volcanic activity. In fact, the Earth's crust will shift, sweeping continents thousands of miles away from their present positions.

“There is ample evidence in the literature of ancient civilizations that such disasters have occurred in the past and also clues that they knew when another such calamity would occur. The Dresden Codex of the Maya for instance, contains the secrets of the sunspot cycle, about which our modern astronomers know almost nothing!

“In his books, Patrick Geryl continues his scientific analysis of the millennia-old codes of the Maya and Egyptians that refer to the coming super-disaster. He determines that both cultures arose from an antediluvian civilization which was able to calculate the previous polar shifts and that we should take very seriously their calculations that place the next reversal in 2012!”
 
Mr. Geryl states, “I launch this world-shattering message after having cracked several ancient codes of crucial importance to civilization as we approach the year 2012. The Dresden Codex of the Maya, for instance, contains the secrets of the sunspot cycle.

“The conclusions that follow, are even more staggering.

“At a certain moment, when the sun's magnetism reaches a crucial point, the sun's surface will be subjected to immense storms. Enormous electro-magnetic forces will then be liberated - with unknown strength - from the interior of the sun. Giant sun-flames will send a gigantic wave of particles to the earth.

“Recently this phenomenon has been observed and confirmed in several suns. During several hours and days they exhibited an explosive activity, after which they returned to their normal state. Astronomers were wondering if this were one-time event or if it could occur more often. They can be sure it will occur again! Our sun is also showing this kind of pattern.

“The particles that are spewed out will put the earth's atmosphere ‘into flames’ and have a real destructive effect on the Van Allen belts. Because of the continuous stream of electromagnetism, the magnetic field of the earth will get overcharged.

“Trillions of particles will reach the poles. Unknown electric forces will be generated, a nightmare for everybody involved. When the poles are filled with auroras from the falling particles, the inevitable will happen: the earth's inner electromagnetic field will get overcharged and will crash. A mega short-circuit with super lethal effects. The planet's entire atmosphere, without magnetic protection, will be bombarded by falling particles.

“The earth’s magnetic field functions to protect us by directing the electromagnetic particles to the poles, but this would become impossible. The particles would penetrate the earth from all sides and generate intensive radiation, in luminosity as well as in radioactivity. Burning, intensely burning is how you can describe the entire sky. Or, as the holy scriptures say: "the light of the light is around the world now".

“And that is the prelude to the cataclysm.

“The iron core of the earth is magnetic. Because of the switching of the magnetic core, the earth will start to move to the other side! Because of this, the outer earth’s crust will break off! In other words the outer layer is ‘floating’. It's on the loose, no longer attached to its ‘master’.

“The planet will tilt some thousands of miles in a couple of hours. Looking up in the sky it will seem as if ‘the sky is coming down’, as it is described in the old scriptures! Giant quakes will occur. Earth plates are moving, mountains are rising where first there was nothing, land parts break open and collapse, mountains collapse, land is sinking into the ocean, volcanoes erupt in many places. In short, the most terrible nightmare cannot be terrible enough to describe this world's destruction.

“Many number series and codes of their myths seem to have been converted into their monuments. I have to remark here that the word monument comes from Latin. Literally translated it means ‘warning.’ In other words, the pyramids, the Sphinx and many other miraculous buildings from a distant past are standing here to warn us and arouse our curiosity, so that we start the search for the ‘why.’

“In his book "The Orion Mystery", Bauval proved that the pyramids were built according to the Orion constellation of 12,000 years ago. Together with Gino Ratinckx and with the help of a recently developed astronomical software program, I could prove that the construction of the pyramids is related to the precession of the Orion constellation in 9792 BC, the year of the previous catastrophe.

“In those times the Sphinx was looking at its celestial counterpart. As you know from my previous book, the last pole reversal took place in the age of the Lion. Therefore we are here confronted with a sky-earth dualism, a serious warning about what happened then and what is awaiting us now. Even worse, the precession of those days is identical to the one of 2012, the year of the next pole reversal.

“This is not the only similarity. Venus meant everything for the Maya. Just like it did in 9792 BC, Venus will make in 2012 a perfect circular retrograde loop above the Orion constellation behind Gemini. In the Egyptian Book of the Dead this code is denoted as the movement that anticipates the end.”

Galactic superwaves, the prior solar system cataclysm and catastrophobia

In her book “Catastophobia,” author Barbara Hand Clow examines the near destruction of Earth in 9500 B.C. Ms. Clow concludes that this event has left humanity's collective psyche deeply scarred, which Clow says afflicts humanity with catastrophobia. She examines the insidious global elite forces that have used this unprocessed fear to control humanity for thousands of years. Most importantly, she offers guidance for achieving the creative evolutionary leap that is unfolding now.

The prior solar system cataclysm was the result of a celestial debris entering the solar system.  It was not the result of a super solar flare event, such as alleged will occur again in 2012.

Figure A shows the Great Cataclysm (from "Catastrophobia") in 9500 B.C. is a schemata of the great disaster, which shows fragments from the Vela supernova--Phaeton/Marduk in Greek/Babylonian records--blasting into our solar system and disturbing all the planets except Jupiter. Mars and Earth were especially damaged because the fragments of the supernova destroyed a planet located in the current asteroid belt, and then all this debris afflicted Earth and Mars. This drawing is based on ancient records and the current condition of the planetary orbits in this solar system.  

According to physicist Paul LaViolette, a galactic superwave (a great wave of energy sent out from the galactic center, which is 26,000 light years from Earth) occurring 14,200 years ago triggered the Vela supernova a fragment of which caused the solar system catastrophe of 11,500 years ago.

As set out in her book The Mayan Code, Barbara Hand Clow does not expect another galactic superwave in 2012.

Planet X, Nibiru and catastrophobia

According to NASA, “Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.”

2012: NASA Frequently Asked Questions

“Q: Is the Earth in danger of being hit by a meteor in 2012?
A: The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs. All this work is done openly with the discoveries posted every day on the NASA NEO Program Office website, so you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012.

“Q: How do NASA scientists feel about claims of pending doomsday?
A: For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.

“Q: Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2012?
A: Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. But there is no special risk associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.

NASA: Milky Way galaxy

How can one evaluate the possibility for physical cataclysm in 2012?

1.  2012 & Catastrophobia – There appears to be a collective fear of earth changes and cataclysm in human society based on the historical prior cataclysm of 11,500 years ago triggered by a galactic superwave that triggered the Vela supernova, a fragment of which entered the solar system.  For a variety of reasons, the year 2012 has been front-loaded with memes that trigger humanity’s catastrophobia.

2.  2012 Solar flare Carrington event –

There are at least two possible 2012 futures, based on the current Web Bot:  

(A) 2012 meme - One possibility is that the Web Bot technology may be detecting the presence on the Internet of an escalating meme regarding a “repetition of a Carrington-type event during the 2012-13 solar maximum,” rather than an actual future event.  This is the more probable 2012 reality.

(B) 2012 Carrington-type event solar flare - Another possibility is that the Web Bot technology has done what mainstream science now says cannot be “assigned with any reasonable accuracy,” and Web Bot is accurately predicting a repetition of a Carrington-type solar flare or related event for 2012-13.  This appears to be a very unlikely possibility,
 
3.  2012 Super-cataclysm memes – 2012 Pole shift, super solar flare, galactic super wave-caused super nova fragments appear to be memes propagated by catastrophobia, and are extremely unlikely to materialize in 2012.

4. 2012 cataclysm memes and social manipulation – 2012 cataclysm memes appear to be used by a variety of institutions, ranging from covert military-intelligence, governmental and other agencies to organized religion for purposes of social control. See, for example, Basiago and Eisenhower reveal “Marsgate” and make case for “Alternative 4”

5. 2012 & A Golden Age - As will be explored in Part 2 of this series on 2012, the Calleman-Clow time acceleration matrix of the Mayan calendar, which suggests that  “the alternating sign-wave universe core energy phenomenon ceases after Oct. 28, 2011, and Earth will be set on a gradual setting of a potential to reach advanced utopian planet status – a virtual “Garden of Eden.”

Part 2 of this series will evaluate the evidence for 2012 and extraterrestrial contact, DNA/consciousness transformation, dimensional shift, and the possible dawning of a “golden age” on Earth.
