Alright, obviously the Mayans never said anything about world ending in 2012. At the worst, the cut-off year on their calendar might just mean that one time cycle or 'era' will pass and a 'new' one coming, perhaps with some big changes. Maybe not but how do we explain the coincidence between the time of the end of the Mayan calendar with the prediction target year of a reputable (he seems so, check it out below) socio-economic forecaster Gerald Celente who's the CEO of an equally reputable institution Trend Research Institute? It's hard to ignore his credentials:
The George Washington blog has compiled a list of quotes attesting to Celente’s accuracy as a trend forecaster.
“When CNN wants to know about the Top Trends, we ask Gerald Celente.”
— CNN Headline News
“A network of 25 experts whose range of specialties would rival many university faculties.”

— The New York Times
“Mr. Celente is a very intelligent guy. We are able to learn about trends from an authority.”

So there you have it – hardly a nutjob conspiracy theorist blowhard now is he? The price of not heeding his warnings will be far greater than the cost of preparing for the future now. Storable food and gold are two good places to make a start.
So there you go guys. Personally, I'm not convinced, at least not yet, but if you see some serious socio-economic problems starting to brew in the near future, beware, that could be the sign. Pack up your bags and be ready to hitch a ride to a nearby mountainside hideaway or take 2 aspirins and call me toll-free at 0800-900-777 for free consultation.
Relax, babes, I'm just half serious.
Okay, my vacation time is almost up but I'll probably be back again tomorrow for some parting shots. In the meantime, adios amigos.
