2012, the Next Y2k?: Book One: the Realistic Possibilities
()
About this ebook
Or, Is It The End of the World?
Many so called experts want you to believe that on that day the world will end in a horrific way and all life on it will cease. They say it is because the Mayan calendar stops that day. After all, the Mayans have made predictions that have come true in their calendar. But thats another story.
But really, think about it for a minute. The earth has been around for a long, long time. Just because the Mayans stopped their calendar on that date, does it mean the end for all? I think not. This is a realistic look at some of the possibilities of occurrences happening in the world today.
The following was taken from the blog, 2012 the Next Y2Kblogspot.com. It is in chronological date order from October 2010 to July 2011. It shows current events of the time and ties together how these events can be twisted into possible reasons to support the doomsday theories for 2012 or not. It is meant to provoke thought, surprise you and sometimes give a bit of humor to brighten your day. By taking a subject and using the 'out of the box' mentality it can be fun and surprising to explore the possible outcomes of an event.
There are a few sections that can be a bit of a stretch, but when you think about the subject matter and the thought behind it, it might be an idea that you may have never thought of.
If nothing else, you might find one or two sections that you can take away something from. Be it a little different way of thinking about a subject or just a chuckle.

During my first career as a firefighter/paramedic and then as a Lieutenant was full of excitement and unusual occurrences. I learned to watch and pay attention to the people whose calls we answered and observed things that the others missed. From then to now, I continue to be just as observant. Today, I live in Wisconsin with my family and our family of dogs where I still seem to have some of the craziest experiences.

Preface
Is December 21st 2012 the next Y2K?
Or, Is It The End of the World?
Many so called experts want you to believe that on that day the world will end in a horrific way and all life on it will cease. They say it’s because the Mayan calendar stops that day. After all, the Mayans have made predictions that have come true in their calendar. But that’s another story.
But really, think about it for a minute. The earth has been around for a long, long time. Just because the Mayans stopped their calendar on that date, does it mean the end for all? I think not. This is a realistic look at some of the possibilities of occurrences happening in the world today.
The following was taken from the blog, 2012 the Next Y2Kblogspot.com. The blogs included are from October 2010 to July 2011. It shows current events of the time and ties together how these events can be twisted into possible reasons to support the doomsday theories for 2012 or not. By using aliens, weather, politics, current world events and just plain silliness, the articles are meant for fun. It is hoped to provoke thought, surprise you and sometimes give a bit of humor to brighten your day. By taking a subject and using the ‘out of the box’ mentality it can be fun and surprising to explore the possible outcomes of an event.
There are a few sections that can be a bit of a stretch, but when you think about the subject matter and the thought behind it, it might be an idea that you may have never thought of.
If nothing else, you might find one or two sections that you can take away something from. Be it a little different way of thinking about a subject or just a chuckle. In any way, enjoy.

The First One
October 22nd 2010
OK, well here we go. Will the scare of 2012 make you do things that you might not normally do? If you knew the world would not end on December 21st, 2012 would you look at the doomsday talk differently?
As the clock counts down are you aware of any events that might affect your future? Do you listen and pay attention to news reports, talk shows, or just listen to conversations of others? If something was going to happen, are you ready? Oh, wait a moment. Maybe it will come and go like the last big scare. You know that one, don’t you? Y2K?
Back at the turn of the century, the big fear was the worldwide computer system. Changing the date from 1999 to 2000 would shut down all the computers worldwide. The experts said that the computers could not change the date from 1999 to 2000. The worldwide computer systems would crash because of it. That would create a crisis of biblical proportions. Because of the millions of computers crashing, there would be a world wide shut down of everything. No electricity, water, gas, heat, access to our money. Within hours there would be a run on all the food stores and they would soon be empty. All the computer systems would cease to work. No anything. Take it from me, it didn’t happen.
So, with that being said, what about the end of the Mayan calendar? Just because it stops, does it really mean the end? Many experts want you to think so. They each have a theory of how the world will end. Many of them really believe their way is correct. They believe they are the only ones who will know what will really truly happen and many millions will die. Then there are those from the other school of thought. These experts say that in December 2012, there will be a new awaking of mankind. They believe a peaceful new society of people will begin; one which will have great tolerance and forgiveness for others. A new kinder world will emerge.
Only time will tell. Most likely, one day will become another and all of us go about our business the same as always.
Now What? Biblical tales coming true? Naw!
January 9th, 2011
Just last week things are starting to happen around this great country. In Arkansas for example, hundreds of black birds fell from the sky dead. A few hundred miles away, millions of fish were found dead along a few miles of a river. What happened to all these animals? It was a natural occurrence as some experts stated. Then just days after people forgot about what happened in Arkansas, millions of fish wash up on beaches in Chesapeake Bay area.
Could it be some secret government experiment? Maybe the visitors from other planets are testing their abilities? Terrorists using chemical or biologic weapons? Headlines tell us that the magnetic north pole is shifting 40 miles a year. Does that have something to do with these deaths?
For an explanation of these mysterious events, some newscasters and experts have turned to scripture, the Book of Revelations, and the Mayan calendar, which suggests the world, will end in 2012. But some wildlife experts say these massive wildlife kills were not the result of a man-made disaster or a spooky sign of the apocalypse. They are natural and normal ways to adjust the populations of an overabundance of certain animals. The birds that have fallen from the sky have happened before. The only difference was they fell in corn fields and were all eaten by foxes. One theory about the birds from the Washington Post is that the birds
