Very interesting and many good ideas have come out of this thread. (Stars and Flags of course)
But, I am curious why more do not know the whole story, with Terrence McKenna and Time Wave Zero theory of Novelty? I am not the best person to explain Novelty, but one of the things that has been brought out is how it is linked closely to the Stock Market crashes, and this video does a good job of explaining it
.
It should be NO surprise that we are about to have a BIG CRASH.
Fiscal Cliffs and our governments madness at the core has driven not just our future as Americans, but a cultural Meme has taken a life of it's own, and became a Tulpa that Now Looms just a few days away. As one who likes to play with Tulpa, I will be sure to be tapping into the Vast Amount of ''magickal' Etheric / Astral-emotional Energy that will be present that day. It Will Be MASSIVE IN ENERGY,, no matter if you believe or not. Collective Consciousness has Created A Vacuum Spot in Time and Space,, here on Gaia/Earth. The PTB are going to be manipulating it, I suggest you get your 'piece of the pie' energy wise that day
As said before here in this thread, it is the After effects that we need worry about, mainly because our PTB friends (Illuminatii, 1% Elite, Aliens, NWO etc etc) might have figured a way to STEER The Whole Boat, by Hi Jacking this idea of Novelty and the Zero point as addressed by McKenna, and will use it to capture the Anima and Animus of our Collective selves as Human Beings. I know sounds just like most 'crazy' ideas about the date. But the evidence is the madness of the Hype itself. The Energy is there.
This is the Make it or Break it time for Mankind, and unfortunately,, the masses have been hypnotised into seeing the date 12/21/12 as a Doomsday, when it could have been steered towards our salvation, by finally taking back what has been stolen from humanity by Power Elites, our Humanity.
We are SLAVES and
Friday could be our day of Emancipation.
Or, FEAR can grasp us all by the Throat, and we allow ourselves to be made into robot serfs for an Elite who care not for the masses.
I suggest Reverent Silence for the Whole Day Friday.
Be as Meditatively Quiet as possible for as long as you can,
Don't jump to the conclusion that 'nothing' happened.
You will be wrong.

Apparently the Mayans also had advanced knowledge of a spherical world - as I've seen experts claim that it will be 11:11 GMT.
If I had to pick, I'd figure out what time zone the Mayans actually lived in ( if more than one, then wherever their capital city is ) and use that time zone.
Me? I'm absent minded so I'll likely glance at my clock, at some point, and think "Oh, damn, doomsday was 47 minutes ago and I missed it... DAMN YOU ANGRY BIRDS!" or some such.

China detains 93 for doomsday rumors: Xinhua
(Reuters) - Chinese authorities have detained 93 people accused of spreading doomsday rumors and arrested a man who slashed 23 children at a school after he was "psychologically affected" by such predictions, the Xinhua state news agency reported on Monday.
The 93 people, from seven provinces, include members of the banned "Almighty God" cult, Xinhua said, adding that they were detained for "handing out leaflets about the apocalypse and spreading rumors".
"These cult members recently latched on to the Mayan doomsday scenario to predict the sun will not shine and electricity will not work for three days beginning on December 21," Xinhua said, citing the public security bureau of Xining, capital of the southwestern province of Qinghai.

I'm still trying to figure out what time zone actually applies. I did find THIS handy timer. According to it we've got 2 days, 10 hours, 39 minutes....

I think there are more people who believe, or at least are a little nervous about what might happen, than can be counted or surveyed.
Contrary to the beliefs of some here, most of the world never heard of ATS , so using this population as a sampling is not accurate. Actually, I think those on this forum have discussed the topic every which way, and rationalized things so much, that many who might have been believers when joining this forum may have been educated enough now to change their minds.
These prophecies have been covered extensively in the media. The networks have been airing these topics, including Nostradamus and every other variation, extensively. There has been an increase in apocalypse themed movies.
I used to think that not many people knew about it, but as the date grows closer, more and more are coming out of the closet with their fears. I have even heard about multiple end of the year parties scheduled for Friday night.
I hope that there is more of a collective sigh of relief, and much "I told you so"'ing, than true depression. But deep down, I agree with the OP. There is the potential for some significant emotional backlash in at least a percentage of the population. And all it takes is a few going off the deep end to impact society in a big way, as we have seen with recent shootings. Hopelessness is a difficult state of mind to overcome.
And... I wonder at the timing of the reported pulling guns off of shelves, before laws have even changed. Not that it will do much good, but could TPTB also be fearing a coming period of emotional instability?

Another good point!
There are also other threads posted, if I can find them, regarding people panicking and stock-piling in Russia and France.
