APOCALYPSE 2012! MSM Continues To Push FEAR From Every Angle



Sanity kicks in at the 2:05 mark.

But that won't prevent the wingnut Republicans from claiming that only Obama's defeat can save the world. After all, fear is really the only card they have.

Apocalypse = good, wonderful thing

Armageddon = we're all gonna die


these are not synonyms and in fact lead to two wholly different results!

Only people who have been doing things they don't want revealed

The particular truth that I expect to be revealed is that the main reason the economy has been globalized is to produce efficiencies in scale for stealing from us all. Steal a dollar from a billion people, none of them really notice it but damn you're rolling it money afterwards.

I'm just a stickler for correct usage of terminology

after all the apocalypse talk last year I decided to look it up and see what the term actually meant

then I was like, why would anyone be afraid of that, unless they were in the business of screwing other people over?

that because the Mayans saw time as cyclical and not as linear, all 2012 meant to them was the ending of one cycle and beginning of a new one.
