Topic: It's the end of the world!

I found this on rense.com. I know nothing about this website (bushcountry.org), just that I found this very curious. If there's the remotest chance of it being true, how could I live with myself if I didn't share it? Most interesting was the state of military deployment worldwide.                                                      http://www.bushcountry.org/news/jun_new … e_2004.htm

Re: It's the end of the world!

I just read of the outcome of this apparent hoax at surfingtheapocalypse.com. I just developed the fear of being hoaxed! Seriously, I can handle the end of the world easier than the alternative. A: "Gee, buddy, don't look so sad. It's not the end of the world."  B:"If it was the end of the world, none of this would be a problem for me."

Re: It's the end of the world!

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the post - in your last post you mention that you had just read about this "hoax" on Surfingtheapocalypse.com so I checked it out.

All incredibly fearful material, mixed with elements of truth as per normal, and Aussie Bloke appears to be prime candidate for the hyperdimensionals. Not so much because of what he says but the manner in which he says it.

This chap is severely strung out, ranting and raving, hurling obscenities around, then apologising profusely, then ranting and raving, hurling obscenities around and apologising again. I think he has gone over the edge and not fully returned...which...if what he says is true, is partially understandable.

I think I will hold off on analysing this further until I have read about why it is a hoax!

All I found was a thread that repeated the Aussie Bloke emails from the original site and this was followed by a new series of threads, none of which refer to this as a hoax.

Please can you point me in the direction of the material that specifically refers to the Aussie Bloke material as being a Hoax.

After I have read that then I look forward to putting some commenst forward.

Warm regards

JT

Re: It's the end of the world!

Huh.

I just checked out the site.   

What if it's not a hoax, and "they" are just saying it is??  !   

Huh.

Well, at any rate, if we have comets headed our way, there's nothing we can do about it, eh?    And if it's not a hoax, then all I can say is, No wonder I've been having the nagging feeling that my life is going just a leeeeeeeeeeeeetle too perfectly right now, followed by the thought of, "What if it's the end of the world?"  No lie, that's been going through my mind off and on all flippin' week.  And amazingly, I've been staying away from material like this, never go to Bushcountry.com, and I've even totally and completely given up going to the Rense site.   So I'm not sure where that thought is coming from, because I'm no longer exposed to doomsday apocolyptic material.   huh.     Hmm, well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see then................................

huh.....

Re: It's the end of the world!

Hi all,

Too late - I just found the hoax material :-D

I eventually followed some linke to abovetopsecret where there was a thread going on this....so it thought I would do this correctly and read all posts from the start.....all 42 pages of them, including making notes and crosschecking reference material listed.

At the end of the 42 page post I noted that the forum administrators had LOCKED the post and posted the link found below which saves me having to write down all my thoughts on why it was a hoax in the first place - interesting exercise all the same!

www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread51056/pg42

Essentially it was an experiment to prove to people how easily they could be duped - there is a further thread on the page that discusses this and is WELL worth a read.


This next thread is so that we may end this brief saga ona lightly humerous and sattirical note: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/endofworld.html - about a 2 min download with broadband and very amusing!

Warm regards

JT

Here is a further thread containing a list of over 200 other "end times" prophecies that are supposed to have occured but never did:

Re: It's the end of the world!

Hi JT,

Thanks for that.  Yeah, the comets thing is just one of those things we can do nothing about.   If we see some heading our way, all we can do is just stand there and wave.   smile  ! 

I used to be a member of a messageboard that was geared towards conspiracies, end times prophesies and Catholicism.    !  Yes, what a mix.  I'm not Catholic, (or Christian) but I enjoyed the conspiracy news aspect of it.   But after awhile, I began to get so tired of the gloom and doom, end of the world fear nonsense.   Everybody there was afraid of their own shadow.  So many posts full of breathless fear over every little thing.    Needless to say, I no longer post there.   But because of that forum I can now totally understand how easily hoaxes such as this generate panic and fear.

Re: It's the end of the world!

The confession from the group that did this hoax is here:

http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.net/cgi … ?read=3851

This will probably continue to spin and become a hoax within a hoax within a hoax, and should it leave you scratching your head and wondering, then refer to the link in the above post that refers to over 200 other end times prophecies that never happened.In fact use this link to "ground" yourself each time you find yourself getting caught up in an end times prophecy.
I am not saying that nothing will happen between now and 2012, just that the events probably wont be what we all expect.

Warm regards

JT

Re: It's the end of the world!

Hi JT,

Hmmm..................

I scanned that link.  To be honest, the "confession" reads like a hoax as well.  Nothing about it seemed genuine.  It's too slick, too smooth, trying too hard to gloss over everything.   The whole thing is just so weird.

Oh well, all we can do is wait and see..............

Re: It's the end of the world!

Hi Lyra

I know what you mean about the confession - " a bit to good to be true".

On the other hand I have a whole list of notes and anomalies that are independent of this hoax confession.

One of the many giveaways is this: Grover Mills is referred to in the hoax:

Grover's Mills, New Jersey is the same town in which aliens landed in Orson Welles' 1938 Martian radio broadcast.

Re: It's the end of the world!

Hi JT and all,

Well, check this out, just found it over on the Goro board.  It concerns a meteor that blazed over Puget Sound, Washington yesterday at approximately 2:40 am, lighting up the sky and creating booming sounds that sounded like explosions:

http://cnn.aimtoday.cnn.com/news/story. … oc=NW_5-L8

We are supposed to be passing through the tail of a comet on June 28th, I know montalk has more information on this.   

I think something fishy is going on here.   I do still wonder if the Aussie Bloke comet warning was really in fact, a hoax, (because again, the "confession" smacks of hoax in itself!)  Add in the fact that we are in fact in close proximity of a comet this month, close enough to pass through the tail anyway, coupled with the Washington meteor, and I just have to wonder..........................

Re: It's the end of the world!

And this as well, a personal account from a poster over on Goro's board named Heathyr who also had a major meteor experience in Arkansas recently:

------

I debated whether to post this a couple of weeks ago, just because of the weirdness of it (not used to seeing this type of stuff) and I guess I just wanted to kind of "la la la was all my imagination" it.


A couple weeks ago, I was on my way back home and driving late at night. I was between towns, and I'm in southern AR, so it's pretty rural and you have to drive an hour or more to get anywhere. Anyway, I'm driving along, and I see (seriously) a big fireball falling from the sky at a diagonal angle kind of up ahead of me to the left of the road and directed towards the woods. I just kind of slowed down, not knowing WHAT to make of it. I mean, I've seen shooting stars before, but this looked like some sort of flaming bomb. The colors were like that white hot flame color, you know when you see something just ragingly on fire? Kind of white-blue-red around the edges and mixing together?

I really didn't know what to think ya'll. At first I thought "fireworks" then I slowed down, thinking oh shit, is that a bomb? Then thinking oh shit I'm actually having to say something like that. Then I kind of slowed down, not really knowing what to do, I was going over a little mini-bridge over a creek.


This all happened in a matter of about 5 seconds. I saw it get to the edge of the trees, then it burned up (from my vision inside the car) before reaching the tree horizon. Ya'll, this thing was so close, I've never seen anything like it, I'm still just kind of unbelieving that I saw it. Picture yourself in your car, then look to the left. I saw it out of the corner of my eye, starting at my passenger window, then through my front window, then it burned up like I said earlier. Now make a circle with your thumb and forefinger, and put it up say towards your front window, that's how big it was from my vision. A big blue/white/red fireball. And it "burned up" just like you would see a shooting star do, except this was *anything* but teeny tiny.

So, I haven't said anything, just kind of wanting to ignore it (I like drama except when it happens to me-I know, stupid) and act like it never happened. But now there is all this talk of meteors, and I just looked at that survival sight that someone mentioned (belongs to sylvia somebody, can't remember the name) and she mentioned it, saying that her inlaws heard the boom. I didn't hear the boom, maybe because I keep my radio on so loud all the time, but damn, it just freaks me out a little to see something like that on her sight, and it just has to be the same thing, same time frame and all. Sigh. I hope we don't get any more.

Heathyr
still a bit freaked out

Re: It's the end of the world!

Hi,

Yes I have read 2 or 3 reports now about the fireball - there are a couple of mentions on rense.

Dont get me wrong, you are rightly pointing out the truths and facts that do exist within what is "factually" a reasonably convincing End Times Prophecy.

There are any number of other hard facts including the recent leaving for sea of a large proportion of the worlds navies which is supposed to be a)unprecedented and b) in deep water is where you would want your navy if a Tsunami was going to hit the East US coastline amongst others. Many of the astronomical facts line up and have been proved correct by other board members that are amateur astronomers or similar. I could go on and on.

The amount of observatories around the world, especially those in key positions are now closed for long term repairs, or generally no longer available for use.
Reminds me of when Gulf War 1 happened and the US rented ALL of the satellite space that was available for the duration of the war, so as to prevent satellite evidence flyovers from other countries.

The "counter" to this commonly noted "observatory fact", is that there are some 3000 privately owned observatories worldwide.

Time will tell,

Warm regards

This is an hoax as well.

Re: It's the end of the world!

Hi,

That link about the second hoax you pointed out is still worth following. Admittedly some guy pretended to be a professor of astronomy, called a radio and said that the "lights in the sky" were/was a meteorite hitting the earth. So this would probably rule the meteor theory out unless its a double bluff.

Whether it is a hoax or not, the lights in the sky are still to be investigated. I have seen various sources and the one downloadable film available of around 2megs, ended up being a still for some reason.
Other seperate reports which I assumed were of the same phenomena report "night turning to day" for about 5 seconds, and also what looked like  balls of fire moving across the sky by various people.
