The funny thing is that it was the Alternative Media/Community which started this 2012 fear porn, and now, when the Mainstream Media buys its ticket to the fear porn festival, people accuse it of hyping fear!

As far as I know, the Alternative Media which is spreading doom and gloom predictions several times a year...Just look at how many "end of the world" scenarios and predictions have been debated here on PA in the last couple of years.

It ends up that fear sells really well; whether alternative or mainstream, both medias are are constantly exploring fear to attract more readers/viewers.

Raf is bang on - just look at the threads here on Avalon that get the highest hits? ;)

Have a look at the statisitcs and who actually started the craze through "movies":

Movies are just a part of this fear porn industry, very often inspired by sci-fi books, alternative media "theories" and religious myths.

"The day after tomorrow" and "Armageddon" are both based on biblical apocalypse and dooms day theories constantly perpetuated by the alternative media.

The "2012" movie is based on the Mayan calender, mostly promoted by the alternative media.

"The day the earth stood still" and "Independence Day" are about the Alien invasion scenario, constantly promoted on sci-fi books and by the alternative media as well.

"I am legend", "The Stand" are based on books...Both are about biological agents causing epidemics, the second is about a weaponized flu virus; a recurring theme in sci- fi and the alternative media.

All these fear-porn Hollywood blockbusters aren´t actually created by Hollywood. The movie industry just respond to recurring themes that we constantly see in sci-fi books and in forums like this one, in order to make as much money as possible.

Hollywood isn´t the cause; it´s the consequence. They just follow trends.

Long before the invention of cinematography people are promoting fear to attract readers/viewers/consumers/clients.

-Mystic plagues are now feared as weaponized virus or bio-weapons.
-Demonic invasion is now feared as alien invasion.
-Biblical apocalypse is now feared as a threat from outer space, climate change, magnetic poles inversion or CMEs...

The fear porn is always about the same themes as far as our recorded history can tell, they just receive a new make-up once in a while.

Anyway,I believe religious leaders were the first to realize that fear is the ultimate marketing strategy to generate revenue and to control people.

Ps: I wouldn´t be surprised to find out that lots of Hollywood´s script writers use internet forums like this one as sources of inspiration.

Agreed on that analysis from that view point.

Let me make my point of "through movies" clearer: how many read those books referred to compared to the massive reach of movies?

To the point that China and Russia are not exempt from the craze.

The movies and their impacts on people's mind then lead said people to consider alternative media as having some sort of validity... and he ball is picked up from then on to run with it.

Ultimately, it boils down to people's state of mind: newspaper publishers have long known that nice, uplifting stories just don't get any rise in the newspaper sales. Whereas utter gore and horror stories always get a spike in sales... bottom line is that a majority of people are the buyers to which news are being sold. "News" are just provided for the "demand" that increases sales (or TV viewings).

In other words, we get exactly what the masses "expect" and "believe" they will get - a reflection of our selves if you like (including our governments).

And the same kind of reasoning (or lack of) that can lead some people to believe there is hidden meaning or conspiracy under every rock.

I'm quite sure, that if the majority of people on the planet sincerely believed the world would end on such-and-such a date, they would collectively create the results to bring it about.

Fortunately, most of us DON'T want that to happen ;)

You are somewhat incorrect -- it has always been Christian extremists propogating "End Times Apocalypse" -- now they've just attached it to that date, and the media, having to make money and keep the "handlers" happy is what implanted it into the minds of many -- the alternative communities that spread their messages through fear, participated, but think back 30 years -- all Christian extremists hyping up their "end of World" doomsdays started this whole thing ... and it is not new ... ;) My 2 cents ;)

Well, the Christians, of course, were the most influential culture responsible for this apocalyptic fear dissemination. The very world "apocalypse" is a biblical term.

However, the specific 2012 Mayan Calender dooms day was exclusively spread and fostered by the Alternative Media and new age community.

Exclusively? And how many of those are geared toward Christian extremism? Like I said, I have been around long enough (and observing long enough) to see the trends ... ;)

One thing we will agree on is that people who fail to do their own research and just want to follow "others" certainly aren't doing the alternative communities any favours!

Believe nothing! Consider everything! -- even this post! ;)

Well, I don´t know.

If I´m not mistaken, I believe it was Terence Mckenna who started this 2012 craziness; He´s famous in the new-age/alternative community.

I have no idea if he´s connected to Christian extremism. (Is he?)

The date itself came from Mayan researcher Robert Sharer, according to Bill.

Terrence never ever said "doomsday" will occur at the 13th Baktun -- ever, although there have been a few comments from Terrence and a few others that were taken grossly out of context for the purpose of sensationalism. It spread like wildfire from there.

Just because the date of Dec 21st 2012 was isolated as the end of the 12th Baktun, doesn't mean anything (and inversely may mean anything). My calendar ends at the 31st of Dec, unless I attach a "doomsday" to it somehow and spread that word through mass media (or via alternate communities that value sensationalism) -- it will never indicate a doomsday. Same thing happened here.

Another thing I have noticed -- the brainwashing that has occured around this date mean that you either think this date is "doomsday", or you balk at the idea of that "doomsday", and if it doesn't mean "doomsday" then it means that date represents nothing and is a hoax.

The idea that that date might represent anything else is brainwashed out somehow ... interesting, when one considers the final effect. ;)

I couldn´t agree more, my friend.

For me, it´s just a date...Since it´s a future date, saying that something extraordinary will happen or saying that nothing will happen fall in the same prediction category.

Dated predictions, as far as I know, never happened and probably never will...We just have to learn to live with the fact the we don´t know what will happen in the future, but judging by our history, we´ll never learn.

People give meanings to things like objects, books or dates; most of the time these assigned meanings are extremely overrated.

Anyway, it´s pretty impressive, I mean, the fact that the masses can transform something meaningless as a date into something so huge, almost hysteric.

I was here to witness several ascension dates and one big doom date, which was the Y2K...Now there´s 21/12/2012...It will pass, and most probably nothing will happen.

People will continue to insist on dated predictions as long as I live...I guess I´m the one who will have to learn to live with that.

All that said, I'm still leaving room for possibly something that day, but I won't be leaving room for negative thoughts ;) My 2 cents ;)

McKenna used to the I Ching to study the ebb and flow of important moments in history (dropping of atomic bombs, the depression et al). Dumped the info into a computer and Told it to run based on that sort of data. it stopped near dec 2012. When he found they Mayan prediction was close enough to his date he changed his date to theirs.

That's a poor description, just check in to "timewave zero."

Based on the talks I've heard him give, I don't think there is much Christian about him. "Heroic" doses of mushrooms, on the other hand ...

[onawah]

Terrence McKenna gets very high marks from many people who I have a lot of respect for, including Graham Hancock, John Major Jenkins, Alex Grey and many others.
I think he was a genius in his own right, and a very brave person who inspired millions to try getting in touch with Gaia directly through Ayahuasca, mushrooms, etc.
I think he undid a lot of the damage that Timothy Leary did, and helped set the course much straighter for serious Experiencers.
Graham just revealed at the 12:12:12 Conference in Little Rock that he has taken Ayahuasca many times and it has helped him enormously.
He believes it is Gaia's way through the Plant Kingdoms to help awaken as many people as possible.
He had very good things to say about McKenna.

It always was an overblown misinterpretation of the Mayan's beliefs. Did John Major Jenkins think it meant doomsday? I think not. Most of these people that expected doomsday are the same people that never read past the cover of a book. It's the end of a world age people! Not the end of the world! But that's too vague and esoteric for the media so they spew out this armageddon garbage.

The best doco I've seen about the dec 21st scenario is "Revelation of the Pyramids". It's on youtube, but you can get it on DVD too.

Personally, we were very calm and relaxed at that moment, out in the garden gazing up at the universe...and felt no panic whatsoever.
