Let's say, just for pure entertainment and discussion value, that there really is going to be some catostrophic event in 2012.... but only you and I
knew about it..
How the heck would we go about proving it, get the facts made public, organise a mass evacuation to another planet/space station?
We simply couldn't.
How many years would it take scientists to pour over our data?
How many years would it take the facts to be accepted by the worlds governments?
How long would it take to get this information to everyone on the planet?
Many people still do not have a TV, Radio, Telephone or even electricity.
How many years would it take to build a space ship/station to evacuate everyone?
It would be far simpler for those 'in the know' (be they TPTB or even you and I) to dig a very deep hole and hope we get lucky..
Evacuating 6 billion people is just far too much of an economy buster in this current society.. too much of a gamble from a bankers point of view,
especially if there was a flaw in the data and 2012 never actually happens..
Oooops, we made a miscalculation in our own calender.. 2012 was actually 7 years ago.. ah well, there goes umpteen zillion dollars poured into a space
ship that is just gonna sit and rust.. oh heck, everyone is starving, rioting, pillaging etc etc.. We messed up real good... bought into that
conspiracy stuff.. that'll teach us... well, it wont but who cares anyway..
Yes, we are wasting time...as you say, wasting time watching the stars on the TV instead of reaching the stars in the sky. Our priorities are way out
of whack.. but that kinda hapopens in a slave based system...
OOOhhh... there's a good new conspiracy theory...
Is the ISS (International Space Station) a secret refuge for the most "powerful/Elite"?
It's offworld and would survive almost anything bar Earth exploding...
