"The program is actually a sequel to "The Lost Book of Nostradamus," and claims that it will separate long standing historical predictions, and actual facts."

Okay, say the world ends, the earth is sandblasted by a cruel and dispassionate universe, our species, like all other species, are not hive minds. We have that benefit. When one of us dies, we feel emotional pain, but we do not share the physical pain or fear thast accompanies that individuals death. Therefore, if we are all to die in some cataclysm, it won't matter. not at all. since we are mortal beings, and mortal beings all die at some point in the undetermined future, 2012 is as good of a time to die as anym, and either life will continue in some form or another or not. This does not change the fact that if your arm is cut, I don't feel it, and if my head is removed, you don't die. If all humans are lost all at once, the pain we feel is internal, and exactly consistent with natural death. Feel no fear.

Nostradamus quatrain 1:55,

There will be a great shedding of blood
Heaven will appear unjust
Both on land and sea and in the air
Cults , famine, kingdoms, plague, confusion.


Nostradamus wasn't predicting the future; he was describing the human condition!

"yet time and again his predictions are interpreted as highly accurate"

Key word there - interpreted

That's as far as I got watching this video. I was afraid I was about to suffer a nonsense stroke.

I have to believe that at least some of the speakers in this vid fall to the floor in fits of laughter as soon as the camera is off.

Nostrildamus is the whipping boy for all cataclysmic or otherwise newsworthy scenarios. Just check how many books have been written since WWII. He supposedly predicted Hitler, the bombing of Japan, Kennedy's assassination, Nixon's resignation, the fall of Phenom Pen, the Falklands conflict, the Challenger Shuttle disaster, Y2K, 9/11, George Bush, the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster, Obama, and now 2012.

And guess what? His prose will be used to "predict" all the cataclysms and newsworthy items of the future too. Why? Because it sells books and makes for entertainment fodder. No other reason than that.

Remember that Y2K TV movie? It was shite, yes, but it provided jobs for quite a few people in the TV industry. Same with this new Emmerich flick. Same with all disaster movies, political biopics, polemic documentaries, and "uncovered secrets" books that we have not yet seen. We're creative, you see, and we demand to be entertained.

Rather than register to the umpteen-thousand conspiracy message boards currently out there, I'd very much like to frequent a single, official 2012 message board, expressly for rational thinkers' postings of "We're still here, morons."

Because I'm exactly the kind of person who says "I told you so."
