probably because a bunch of people are calling/emailing freaking out thinking planetx/nibiru is real and nasa just wants to stop having to explain 100 times a minute that its not true...makes sense to keep the phone lines open on realistic things...

I'm like Bob Dean, has anyone really looked up the definition of Apocalypse? All it means is the unveiling, uncovering. It has nothing to do with destruction of ANYTHING! It is an unveiling. Look it up, I'm serious. Makes me so mad that they use this word to contol the sheeple! Look it up, I am serious. My bible thumping uncle got mad at me cause I told him the true meaning. Look it up!!!

www.thefreedictionary.com...

a·poc·a·lyp·tic (-pk-lptk) also a·poc·a·lyp·ti·cal (-t-kl)
adj.
1. Of or relating to an apocalypse.
2. Involving or portending widespread devastation or ultimate doom: "now speaks in apocalyptic terms about the probable conflict ahead" (Financial Times).
3. Characterized by usually exaggerated predictions of or allusions to a disastrous outcome: "Stripped of its apocalyptic tone, what this amounts to is an advocacy of teaching names, dates and places by rote" (Stefan Kanfer).
4. Of a revelatory or prophetic nature.

www.answers.com...

apocalyptic [əˌpɒkəˈlɪptɪk]
adj
1. outstanding in revelation, prophecy, or significance
2. of or like an apocalypse
apocalyptically adv

Thesaurus: apocalypse Top noun Something disclosed, especially something not previously known or realized: disclosure, exposé, exposure, revelation. Informal eye opener. See show/hide.

I was sceptical after the first source, but the second source states specifically a disclosure of some sort. Seems you are correct.

So if some kind of disclosure were to occur - that would be an apocalypse. And if nuclear war occurred - that would also be an apocalypse.

Sh*t happens all of the time though, so whatever happens around the next few years, is not necessarily connected to any prediction of this sort.

Yes, I think the nature of NASA debunking this is due to the large number of people calling them up over this. Seems an adequate explanation for me, since nobody has yet provided any logical explanation of why we can't see this brown dwarf yet.

Why does NASA even care about social engineering or what people
think the future will be like.

Just more big brother manipulation and thought control.

Maybe they were sick of the many hundreds calling & hounding their helpdesk to ask if the 2012 movie was actually going to happen. Yes, many people are really stupid like that to believe in this crap!!

Even if we could, why would we want to?

Wouldnt you rather not be counting down the days until a major earthquake or flood?

If such a collision were real "astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye," it added. "Obviously, it does not exist."

"Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012," it insisted.

This much is true. Niburu is so much nonsense spread by illiterates. Anyone who has even looked lightly into the Mayan Calendar knows the whole 2012 thing is a figment of some lively imaginations mixed with bad intentions by those who profit from spreading fear based on myths.

That NASA even needs to do this is an indictment on how illiterate much of our population is. The true conspiracy is the dumbing down of the populations of the world to a level where such nonsense can even be a subject of serious discussion.

This is a venture into the childish myths of uneducated cultures of the past. Zeus is not going to strike us down from on high on Mt. Olympus, nor is Planet X approaching the Earth. Such things are for children, fiction and the unfortunate illiterates in the adult world.

As a society we should hang our heads in shame that we have allowed the state of education in our so-called enlightened society devolve to a state where beliefs like this can even exist in our culture.

Critical thinking is our best defense in this world and yet it is lacking in our schools so people can be manipulated into one groups political ideology. This is the fallout from that.

2012, Awakening within, the third eye...it\'s all coming together.
