OpShop are currently one of the best bands in New Zealand, and have been getting quite a bit of media. They have a very pleasant sound. The above article is from Woman’s Day, a popular NZ magazine. Here’s the important parts from it:

…there’s a different inspiration behind Jason’s songwriting – like many others, he believes the world will undergo major transformations on December 21, 2012 and with three years to go, he’s building a state-of-the-art ark-like structure to take shelter in when the day comes.

…Jason, 36, doesn’t think the world will end, he believes transformative changes will occur on 21/12/12. His beliefs stem from scientific theories…

Jason learned of 2012 from Apocalypse 2012 by Lawrence Joseph, given to him by a friend.

Jason now has a room of his home filled with containers of water, extreme weather kits, inflatable rafts, backpacks, tents, SAS survival kits and canned food. “… at least a dozen cans every fortnight for the last four years”.

Jason and his friend Norm are planning a giant version of the “ark” pictured above (his personal ark), that can hold 300 people and will be buried in the side of a mountain.

…On the eve of 21/12/12, Jason hopes to be sitting atop a mountain with a glass of wine and a cheeseboard, either “watching Santa come from the equator or men in white coats coming to drag me away”.

Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj is the head of the National Council of Maya Elders, and a 13th generation Quiche Maya Spiritual Leader. He is the most qualified individual to speak on the thoughts of modern-day Mayans regarding 2012.

He will be conducting a live presentation over the internet on August 15 (with replays on the days that follow). This is your chance to ask him questions. Tickets are $AUD10.

The first is a compendium of ideas regarding our fate in 2012. Topics covered include CMEs from the Sun, a coming Ice Age, Patrick Geryl’s pole shift theory, the Web Bot, Nibiru and more. The second article is entirely about the possibility of contact with aliens in 2012 (or even disclosure that we have been in contact with them).

There’s no new information, but an excellent overview of many of the non-Mayan aspects of 2012.

Seems that Fox News has been *promoting* the proposed bunker complex of Vivos Corp, and is running ads that tie in well with an apocalyptic mindset.

The recent Independent article kicks off with a powerful prediction:

Forget man-made threats – the catalyst for the apocalypse will come from outer space - It’s true that the Mayan odometer will hit zeros on 21 December 2012

And, as befits a quality publication, it details the more likely cosmic catastrophes that may befall us, without any irony or sarcasm:

Then there’s the “Big One”. About every 100 million years, a rock the size of a small asteroid slams into the Earth, causing global earthquakes, kilometre-high tidal waves, and immediately killing all large land animals. Creatures in the sea soon follow, as trillions of tons of vaporised rock cause drastic cooling and the destruction of the food chain based on photosynthesis.

…If a hypernova went off within 1,000 light years, and Earth was within the narrow cone of high- energy radiation, we’d experience an immediate global conflagration. It’s brutal luck if a hyper nova ever goes off with its beam aimed at us.

And then it descends into the arena of “we’re doomed, but it is a billion years away so who cares…”

There is no better way to create conflict with local authorities than to hoard weapons. A compound belonging to an Australian chapter of a Christian sect was raided yesterday: About 90 police searched 12 properties in Adelaide used by Agape Ministries, finding guns, fuses, detonators, detonator cords and 20,000 rounds of ammunitions… …Four men were arrested and [...]

In four days of flying over a jungle, archaeologists using lidar (light detection and ranging) surpassed the data they collected in 25 years of ground exploration.

The second Tipping Point conference will take place in Vancouver, 23-25 July 2010, with workshops on the following two days. The line-up is similar to the one held in Cancun back in January, with the main exception being the absence of Graham Hancock. Highlights include: Daniel Pinchbeck interviewing John Major Jenkins & José Arguelles Barbara Marx Hubbard [...]

Humorist Joe Queenan has written a piece for the Wall Street Journal, mocking the 2012 meme and the History Channel: It was a 2008 History Channel documentary about the Mayan Calendar that first drew the public’s attention to the fact that Dec. 21, 2012 will probably be the last day in human history—meaning that 2011 will [...]

If you have $40,000, and live in the USA, Robert Vicino of Vivos has a 2012 survival solution for you. It is also good for a cataclysm that might occur beyond 2012. The $200 million project will accommodate up to 4,000 people, in as many as 20 shelters, each strategically located within 150 to 200 miles [...]

Shanghai “is soon to start building massive survival shelters in case of a catastrophic end-of-days type environmental disaster. And not just one - the authorities are building three of them, each capable of housing up to 10,000 people for more than a month,” says the South China Morning Post. The article refers to the 2012 [...]

A cross between a black beer and an ale, this German-inspired, Wisconsin brewed brew is quite probably the first to be named after the Mayan doom date. 2012 Black Ale has been available since March 1, 2010 – or 12.19.17.2.14, according to the Long Count calendar method - and is sold in six-packs of 12-ounce long-neck [...]

North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-il, has said that 2012 will be the year that his country will “open the grand gates to becoming a rising superpower”. This is likely due to April 15, 2012 being the centenary of the birth of Kim Il-sung, North Korea’s founder. North Korea’s leaders do not want their people to watch [...]

Information on the 2012 conference he will be speaking at can be found here: http://gse2012.es/noticias-g-s-e-2012/ The Google translation of the page goes like this: The G.S.E. 2012 organizes the next day March 27 a conference in Barcelona to be attended Patrick Geryl to discuss his theory of the polar reversal and assumes global cataclysm that hit the earth [...]

Ever wondered when and how the whole 2012 thing entered our consciousness? Here’s a (non-comprehensive) overview of how it all fell into place: Ancient Times - the Mayans (or some earlier civilization) created the Long Count calendar, which ends on Dec 21 2012 1897 - Joseph Goodman (Mark Twain’s first editor), published a paper proposing the 3114 BC start [...]

As usual with these types of site: caveat emptor! Before you part with your $1 million fee, make sure the deal is legit. Although the writing and style of this site passes most BS tests, it is a little bit strange that these highly trained naval officers (no mention that they have ever operated a [...]

An anxious visit to a Mayan healer, where eggs illuminate the soul.

The Mayan pyramid Xunantunich and the struggling Large Hadron Collider outside Geneva have something in common: overreach.

A collection of clay jars, whose purpose long puzzled scholars, were used for drinking liquid chocolate a finding that offers the first proof of chocolate use in North America north of Mexico.

Mr. Sanders was an anthropologist whose studies of Mexico and Central America included an invaluable aerial survey of ancient archaeological sites.

Deeper issues aside, both “The Ancient Americas” at the Field Museum in Chicago and “Exploring the Early Americas” at the Library of Congress in Washington display impressive objects.

New research suggests that the Maya made their famous paint as part of rituals that sometimes involved human sacrifice.

New findings are some of the first strong evidence that the ancient Maya civilization had a market economy similar in some respects to societies today.

Megan Ybarra letter on December 16 travel article about Tikal, ancient Mayan site in Guatemala

Tikal, the ancient Mayan site in the Guatemalan jungle, has the feel of a living ruin, closer to its original vitality than perhaps any deserted city of the past.
