AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June 23 (UPI) — Thousands of people in the Netherlands say they expect the world to end in 2012, and many say they are taking precautions to prepare for the apocalypse.
The Dutch-language de Volkskrant newspaper said it spoke to thousands of believers in the impending end of civilization, and while theories on the supposed catastrophe varied, most tied the 2012 date to the end of the Mayan calendar, Radio Netherlands reported Monday.
De Volkskrant said many of those interviewed are stocking up on emergency supplies, including life rafts and other equipment.
Some who spoke to the newspaper were optimistic about the end of civilization.
“You know, maybe it’s really not that bad that the Netherlands will be destroyed,” Petra Faile said. “I don’t like it here anymore. Take immigration, for example. They keep letting people in. And then we have to build more houses, which makes the Netherlands even heavier. The country will sink even lower, which will make the flooding worse.”

It is truly amazing what the human body can achieve when pinned against life or death situations. Many survivors claim it to be an out-of-body experience – when survival instincts kick in and the brain shuts down. Below is a list of miraculous tales of survival that illustrate the resiliency of the human spirit.
Aron Ralston was hiking in the canyons of Utah when an 800-pound boulder fell on his arm and left him for dead. Pinned and bleeding for five days, he chose to cut off his own arm as his only chance of survival. Leveraging the boulder to snap his bone, he then used a pocketknife to cutaway the surrounding tissue and tendons and managed to rappel down a 65-foot cliff to stagger to his rescue.

We have entered the worst drought cycle in 500 years. It started in 2002 but will peak around 2010. If you’ve read any of my books you all know that severe drought is always followed by extreme economic downturn (1930’s where the depression occurred.) The more severe the drought the deeper the depression. History has shown this to be true, and after going back over 32 centuries and researching every single boom and bust I could find, I graphed them into a computer program that showed the ebb and flow of history as it paralleled the drought cycle like clock work (see enclosed graph). The cycles indicate that every 500 years these two cycles peak. With extreme drought one can almost bet that an extreme depression is not too far behind. We are now entering one of those peaks.
