I have heard regular predictions called fearmongering, but
THAT vid is
real fearmongering!

How I love YouTube.

I mean, it is clear that the date is starting to pick up 'buzz' since it happens to be a date of novelty shift on TimeWave, but I think people latch
on to that change in novelty and start ascribing their own predictions and prophesies to that date, just like 2012.
So, now we have market collapse, death of dollar, nukes in US and POTUS assassination attempt all being predicted for the same day. Just like 2012 is
accumulating many different predictions - mostly doom and gloom.
I do think that TWZ may have some sort of validity, but I also think that it points to 'events' that are more subtle than most care to admit. Oct
25/26? Well, it could be the beginning of financial downturn #2 in this double-dip recession. Will we wake up on the 26th and go "OMG! The sky is
falling!"? Probably not. Next week will start out like a normal week, and MAYBE by week's end we will see that some events kicked off on the 25th
or 26th are turning into something significant. A few weeks after that we will look back and see that it was indeed the beginning of the decline.
Anything else (singular 'big impact' events such as nukes or assassinations) are not predictable as far as I can tell.
