I posted about this over a year ago but it's making the rounds again with a few updates on the situation.
Doomsday 2012: Thousands queue for UFO rescue at Pic de Bugarach
Hippies head for Noah’s Ark: Queue here for rescue aboard alien spaceship
I can admire the conviction of these people. They believe something so much that they aren't content to just talk about it or preach it; they're actually out there doing what they believe they should be doing. Regardless of how I differ from them in my beliefs I can respect them for theirs.
I am a little concerned about what might happen if what they're expecting doesn't happen though. At the same time I don't understand the enmity toward these people that's expressed in the comments on these articles. Can the whole thing be seen as amusing? Sure. However, some of those comments go beyond expressing amusement and seem to express some kind of hatred towards these "hippies." Or maybe it's jealousy of how completely devoted they are to something greater than themselves.
Maybe we really do need a new spiritual age.

2012 Scenarios Debunked
2012 Pictures: 6 Maya Apocalypse Myths Debunked
This is something to think about for anyone feeling on edge this year. This debunking says nothing of unforeseen supernatural influences but it does give a little more insight into the date and the theories that are getting passed around. There are, of course, many more individual theories of apocalypse as well as theories of transformation.
I don't worry about it too much. Whatever is coming, if anything, is totally beyond my control. An event of this magnitude is on a scale so large that my worry and fear will do absolutely nothing to thwart it. As such I don't worry about it. I just go on with my life. If this really is the last year then I'm going to live it how I want, not cowering in fear of something I have no control over. Live life to the fullest whether the world ends tonight, tomorrow, in December, or never.

A New Year of Weird Stuff
The New Year is upon us and it should be an interesting one. The culmination of this 2012 business along with the usual paranormal news should keep seekers of the strange busy. Stephen Wagner over at the Paranormal Phenomena section of About.com has compiled a recap of 2011's paranormal news stories and events, some of which I shared here over the course of the year.
Top Paranormal Events of 2011
Reading through the list made me realize how many strange things actually occur that see some kind of news exposure. Speaking of strange things and news exposure, there's already been a strange event similar to one that happened a year ago: another New Years bird die-off in Arkansas.
What a way to start off the year.

More evidence for a 2012 apocalypse?
2nd Mayan Tablet Linked to 2012 Apocalypse
I don't think that there will be a literal end to the world on December 21st, 2012. I think that the Maya were probably using metaphor to describe the cycles of time as they saw them. The cycles of nature are evident all around us and were more important to our ancestors than they are to us now. The imagery of large-scale destruction followed by rebirth shows how seriously our ancestors took the cycles that govern our existence as well as how closely they were paying attention to the world around them.
I can only hope that we enter some kind of golden age at the end of next year. However, Nature teaches us that destruction and creation are two sides of the same coin and one begets the other.

What an apocalypse survival bunker looks like.
When the Aliens Touch Down, Make for This Missile Base
I think that aliens are one of the more unlikely things to cause an apocalypse but this makes me wonder: If civilians are working on projects like this then what might the government have already? Continuity of government is something that we know the government takes very seriously and they already have facilities suited to this purpose.
Do these types of facilities tie into the mysteries surrounding Denver International Airport? I think that they might. There have been rumors for a while that the elites and governments of the world know something that the general public doesn't know about a future cataclysm and that they are preparing for it. Are facilities like the one in the above article just the tip of the iceberg? Are there far more extravagant facilities built by the rich and powerful that will allow them to survive impending disaster? I think that it is a very real possibility.
The 2012 hype has people buying into projects like the one above; I don't see why the elite of society wouldn't be doing the same, especially if they know something we don't. Thinking about it, a global catastrophe may not be the biggest of their worries. Civil unrest has been on the rise around the world and the faltering economies in many countries have a lot of people on edge. What would happen to the haves if the have-nots began to turn against them? Maybe that's the scariest possibility that they can imagine. Regardless, survival bunkers like this seem to be up to the task of protecting people from just about anything. Let's hope that no one ever has to use them.

New Agers converge on a French village; hilarity ensues.
French village which will 'survive 2012 Armageddon' plagued by visitors
The kicker is that they are supposed to survive 2012 because there are aliens under the local mountain that will evacuate when things get bad, hopefully taking some of the New Agers with them. I know that this really isn't that funny for those poor villagers, but my head is filled with images of stereotypical New Age hippies surrounding the place like its some kind of UFO Mecca and I find it hilarious. Most of this is fueled by the very descriptions in the article.
Naked men performing rituals on the mountainside, apparently within plain view of the mayor. Hippies lying around, chanting and meditating in the streets. I imagine a lot of crystals, patchouli, and tie-dye. Perhaps the worst part is that all of this apocalypse business is based on misinformation about what the Mayans actually said about 2012. I'm confident that the villagers will find a way to profit from this and allay their frustrations though.
My overall reaction to the absurdity is represented by the article's photo of the mayor on the outskirts of town, in front of the sign. Notice his expression and gesturing. I don't need to be French to understand that. He's saying "WTF?" I expect more of this kind of thing as December 21, 2012 gets closer.
