NASA scientists reportedly have confirmed that the planet Nibiru will collide with Earth in July of 2012.

The Nibiru collision with Earth in 2012 had been predicted for a while, but astrophysicists, cosmologists and astronomers around the world have come to a consensus that Earth will collide with the planet, which lies just outside Pluto.

Nibiru, in Babylonian Astronomy translates to “Planet of Crossing” or “Point of Transition”, especially of rivers, i.e. river crossings or ferry-boats, a term of the highest point of the ecliptic, i.e. the point of summer solstice, and its associated constellation. The establishment of the Nibiru point is described in tablet 5 of the Enuma Elish. Its cuneiform sign was often a cross, or various winged disc. The Sumerian culture was located in the fertile lands between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, at the southern part of today’s Iraq.

As the highest point in the paths of the planets, Nibiru was considered the seat of the summus deus who pastures the stars like sheep, in Babylon identified with Marduk. This interpretation of Marduk as the ruler of the cosmos was identified as an early monotheist tendency in Babylonian religion by Alfred Jeremias.

It’s official.  The world is getting closer to the apocalypse.

The Doomsday Clock, a timepiece used as a barometer of humankind’s fate, was moved one minute closer to midnight the other day, the first time it has been nudged forward since 2007.

And then yesterday, it was moved another minute closer.  It is now 11:56, four minutes before the hour of doom.

The re-setting of the clock was carried out by the world’s leading atomic  scientists and aimed at warning the public about various catastrophic dangers, due to nuclear weapons.

The process involved in deciding the time is a serious one, overseen by a venerable board of scientists, Nobel laureates and others and concluded with a symposium in Washington. The setting of the clock is no longer based only on the proliferation of nuclear arms, but also on threats such as climate change and biological weaponry.

The reason an additional minute was added yesterday was because “the Mayans were probably right,” according to one top scientist.

In moving the clock ahead, scientists cited the failure of world leaders to achieve significant progress on the reduction of nuclear weapons and in developing a comprehensive response to climate change. Just two years ago, following global talks on climate change in Copenhagen and international pledges to reduce nuclear stockpiles, the BAS moved the clock backward by a minute.

Robert Socolow, a professor at Princeton University did the actual reset of the Doomsday Clock.

“Faced with clear and present dangers of nuclear proliferation and climate change, and the need to find sustainable and safe sources of energy, world leads are failing to change business as usual,” said Lawrence Krauss, co-chairman of the group’s board of sponsors.

“As we see it,” Krauss said, “the major challenge at the heart of humanity’s survival in the 21st century is how to meet energy needs for economic growth in developing and industrial countries without further damaging the climate … and without risking further spread of nuclear weapons — and in fact setting the stage for global reductions.”

Since being unveiled in 1947, the clock has been reset 20 times. It came closest to doomsday in 1953, when the start of the nuclear arms race pushed its hand to two minutes to midnight, and moved the farthest away in 1991, when the signing of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) by the United States and the Soviet Union gave the world 17 minutes until midnight.

The Mayans predicted the world will end on 12/21/12, so the scientists may move the doomsday clock another minute closer in May of this year – after they examine more evidence.

“The goal is to have the clock strike midnight just seconds before the world ends. Then we’d know we were as accurate as possible,” said Professor Jonathan Horning of Oxford University.

Archeologists Georgia are claiming that they have discovered some ancient Mayan ruins.

Almost everyone has been taught that the  Mayan people thrived in Central America from about 250 to 900 A.D., building magnificent temples in Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and southern Mexico.

Not so… they also built temples in the mountains of North Georgia.

Richard Thornton, an architect by training, has been researching the history of native people in and around Georgia for years.  He wrote about an 1,100-year-old archeological site near Georgia’s highest mountain, Brasstown Bald.  Another archeologist, Taylor Manon of Atlanta said “we have positively identified this as the site of the fabled city of Yupaha, which Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto failed to find in 1540.”

Archeologist Mark Williams of the University of Georgia, doesn’t believe.  ”This is total and complete bunk. There is no evidence of Maya in Georgia. Move along now.”

But WWN has spoken with top archeologists from around the world that have traveled to North Georgia to examine the site.  The conclusion:  Thornton is right.  The Mayans did have a settlement in Georgia!

Thornton, who said he is Georgia Creek Indian by birth, volunteered that doing research about Mesoamerican culture in the U.S. has been a difficult way to make a living, but is happy to be finally vindicated.

Some of his conclusions about the Mayan connection to the southern U.S., he said, are based on oral history. There are place names in Georgia and North Carolina, he said, that are very similar to Mayan words. And the ruins near Brasstown Bald, he said, include mounds and irrigation terraces similar to those found at Mayan settlements in Central America.

The Georgia Tourism board is already setting up tourist packages for those who want to see the Mayan ruins.  ”We think it will be a particularly hot site to see, especially this year, which the Mayans predicted would be the last for mankind.”

So, get on down to Georgia and see the Mayan ruins!!

MEXICO CITY –  There’s only 51 weeks before Dec. 21, 2012, the day the Maya say the world will end!

Southeastern Mexico, the heart of Maya territory, plans a yearlong celebration – preparing for the end of the world in December, 2012

Mexico’s tourism agency expects to draw 920 million visitors by next year only to the regions of Chiapas, Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Campeche.  All of Mexico usually lures about 21 million foreigners in a year.   Mexican officials believe there will be over 500 million people in Mexico when the world ends.

The Winter Solstice in the coming year, as a time of renewal. Many archeologists believe that the 2012 reference on a 1,300-year-old stone tablet only marks the end of a cycle in the Mayan calendar.  But Mayan scholars agree that the archeologists are wrong, “the world will end,” said Jimmy Rivera of Harvard University.

“The world will end,” said Ysidri Zabeda, a tourism spokeswoman for the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, home to Cancun. “For us, it is a message of hope.  There will be a new world, a better world.”

Cities and towns in the Mayan region on Wednesday will start the yearlong countdown. In Chiapas the town of Tapachula on the Guatemalan border will start a countdown on an 8-foot digital clock in the main park exactly a year before the mysterious date.

In the nearby archaeological site of Izapa, Maya priests will burn incense, chant and offer prayers.

In the tropical jungle of Quintana Roo, between the resorts of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, people are putting messages and photos in a time capsule that will be buried for 50 years. Maya priests and Indian dancers will perform a ritual at the time capsule ceremony.

Yucatan state has announced plans to complete the Maya Museum of Merida by next summer.

“People who still live in Mayan villages will host rites and burn incense for us to go back in time and try to understand the Mayan wisdom,”  Zabeda said.

The Maya reputation for wisdom has people taking the alleged prediction seriously.

The Mayan civilization, which reached its height from 300 A.D. to 900 A.D., had a talent for astronomy

Its Long Count calendar begins in 3,114 B.C., marking time in roughly 394-year periods known as Baktuns. Thirteen was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas, and they wrote that the 13th Baktun ends on Dec. 21, 2012.

The doomsday theories stem from a stone tablet discovered in the 1960s at the archaeological site of Tortuguero in the Gulf of Mexico state of Tabasco that describes the return of a Mayan god at the end of a 13th period.

Believers have taken the end-of-the world fears to the Internet with hundreds of thousands of websites and blogs.

“The Maya are viewed by many westerners as exotic folks that were supposed to have had some special, secret knowledge,” said Mayan scholar Sven Gronemeyer. “What happens is that our expectations and fears get projected on the Maya calendar.”

Gronemeyer of La Trobe University in Australia compares the supposed Mayan prophecies to the “Y2K” hype, when people feared all computer systems would crash when the new millennium began on Jan. 1, 2000.

The blogosphere exploded when Mexico’s archaeology institute acknowledged on Nov. 24 a second reference to Dec. 21, 2012, on a brick found at other ruins.

Jackie Chinell of Albuquerque, New Mexico, says that 2012 “is going to be ‘a trip’”.  Channell, who owns Maya Sites Travel Services, is surprised that she already has 1,250 reservations for three tour packages she is offering to major Mayan ruin sites in the week leading up to the solstice.

She named one “Last Days on Earth.”

“We put together these tours, and we’ve got lots of signups, and people are excited about it,” she said. “Our tourists will go out with a big bang.”

NEW YORK – Meteorologists are predicting that Hurricane Irene will sink Manhattan Island.

If you are in Manhattan forget about loading up on bottled water, beer, and canned corn.  Don’t board up your windows.  Don’t watch TV weathermen getting blown around.

It won’t matter.  Manhattan is going to sink.  Head to Jersey.  Now!!

New Jersey will be the “New”  New York.

The city’s official hurricane threat level has been raised from “Mild Devastation” to “Armageddon.”

Weather experts predict that Hurricane Irene will bury Manhattan under 90 feet of water and fish parts.  “It’ll be worse than 12 tsunamis,” said Scott Blake of Tony’s Weather Club.  “Winds are going to be over 300 miles per hour.”

Chris Christie, the Governor of New Jersey, said New Yorkers are welcome in New Jersey.  “We have lower taxes and we have Snooki.  You’re gonna love it here.”

The National Hurricane Panic Center (NHPC) confirmed that their computerized models have Manhattan being hit with not only a massive Triple Hurricane, but also two earthquakes and a blizzard.

“Things are going to get crazy.  Start screaming,” said Tom Weewinkler of the NHPC.

Frank Mastardi, the chief meteorologist at Weather Hype said that the last time Manhattan was buried in water was 1790.  “The reason Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr went to New Jersey to shoot each other was because of the Triple Hurricane of 1790.  It was the last time Manhattan was buried in water.”

Mayor Bloomberg has begun massive evacuations of Manhattan citizens to New Jersey.  But many New Yorkers are refusing to go into New Jersey.”

“I’d rather die than go to New Jersey,” said Taylor Ashland of the East Village.  That sentiment was echoed by New Yorkers from Battery Park to Harlem.

Hurricane Irene, a Category 17 Hurricane will hit Manhattan on Sunday.  Alternate side of the street parking rules will remain in effect.

If you are reading this – you have been Left Behind!  Today is Judgment Day and you are officially NOT chosen!

Today is the moment we’ve all been waiting for: “Doomsday.”

Make sure you understand how this works.  Today is The Rapture – Judgment Day. The world doesn’t end… it’s the BEGINNING OF THE END.   Earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, natural disasters, man-made disasters, clowns committing suicide -  will begin today and increase for the next five months until October 21st, when the whole world disappears.

What you WILL see today is Bodies Lifting Up toward the heavens, and Bodies Lifting Up out of cemeteries.  So, perhaps the best place to watch The Rapture is at your local cemetery.

“Good” souls – living and dead – will rise up and go to heaven today.  Everyone else is “bad”, sinners – and are now marked for Hell.  If you are still on earth at the end of today – YOU are a sinner and you are being Left Behind by God.  You will die on October 21st, 2011 with all the other heathens.  You will burn in Hell forever…

Have a nice day!

But, nobody has ever experienced the Apocalypse before, so you should enjoy it while you can.

If you know someone who has NOT been left behind, please contact Frank Lake at WWN because he has set up a Left Behind Fund to collect all the worldly possessions of those that have risen to the heavens.  He will collect those items (including stocks, bonds and cash) and put it all in a for-profit fund set up for himself, his friends and his family – all of whom have been Left Behind.

Have a good one!!

On March 19, 2011 the world will change as we know it.

The moon will be passing by for its closest visit in the past 18 years. Not only will the moon be passing by at a range of just under 225,000 miles but it will also be full.

Richard Nolle, certified professional astronomer and webmaster of astropro.com, is warning the masses that beginning on March 16 and continuing through March 22 there will be a SuperMoon risk window for the entire planet.

Nolle warns that during the SuperMoon risk window the world should expect several magnitude 5+ earthquakes, countless tsunamis, constant volcanic eruptions and werewolves to run wild. Nolle has teamed up with leading expert on the paranormal and supernatural, Rosemay Ellen Guiley in order to discover the connection between the SuperMoon and werewolves.

“Since the moon will be so close to earth, many new werewolves will come to life as the proximity of the moon to the earth affects the transformation of many werewolves,” explained Guiley, “Some werewolves never morph due to the normal distance between the earth and the moon. But the distance during this SuperMoon is of great concern.”

Twilight fans are pooping their pants with excitement over the sheer possibility that they might catch a glimpse of Jacob Black.

“Jacob is so hot!!,” said Giselle Ramirez, a teenage Hawaiian resident, “I don’t care if lava is coming right at me. If there is a chance that I can see Jacob, I’ll let my feet burn off.”

Some scientists believe that the recent volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are a result of the moon gradually passing by closer and closer leading up to the SuperMoon risk window. Nolle explains that this activity is a result of the lesser SuperMoon risk window that is currently taking place. There is grave concern for the well being of the inhabitants of Hawaii as the SuperMoon approaches. As a preventative measure, the U.S. is now initiating mandatory evacuation procedures for all of the Hawaiian Islands in order to prevent a catastrophe. A voluntary evacuation will be put into effect for southern California starting Wednesday of next week.

After you read this article you should immediately run to your closest supermarket and buy all the canned food, bottled water, batteries and silver bullets that you can get your hands on. This is going to be an apocalypse and it is a going to be a wolf dog eat wolf dog world so be prepared for the worst.

Patra, Greece – An angry God fired two warning shots at a suburb of Patra, Greece, the Southeastern European nation’s third largest urban center.

There is no consensus as to why God decided to direct his ire on Greece’s “Gateway to the West,” or what His actual grievance is, but theologists are working around the clock to solve the mystery.

“Attacks from the Heavens usually come in the form of raining frogs, burning bushes, locusts… that sort of thing.”  Miraculously, nobody was hurt with the heavenly missiles, as most of the citizens were on the other side of town watching a soccer match.
