Five Years

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years
Five years

David Bowie- Five Years [download]

I can’t believe I forgot it on Friday but in those last few minutes of sleep this morning I’m not sure why my mind drifted to it but I either remembered the December 21, 2012 Mayan Prophecy or that David Bowie song (sung above in his Thin White Duke glory) 5 years but no matter in what order it came, there may be less than 5 years until apocalypse or rebirth or something. It doesn’t matter much though either way; I always love a good mystery and always work better under deadline.

Here's a short "crackpot" video:
(p.s. you'll probably want to turn down the volume for this)

And though that was incredibly cheesy and right wing (admittedly I can see Barack being The Anti-Christ[UPDATE: I'm glad I'm not the only one]) it did spark some more research on my own, and even though with things as vague or malleable as prophecies they can be twisted to fit any time it was still really [interesting/worrying] intriguing.

Pole Shift Theory

One early popular proponent of a pole shift theory was Hugh Auchincloss Brown, an electrical engineer who advanced a theory of catastrophic pole shift. Brown argued that accumulation of ice at the poles caused recurring tipping of the axis in cycles of approximately 7 millennia.

Charles Hapgood is now perhaps the best remembered early proponent, from in his books The Earth's Shifting Crust (1958) (which includes a foreword by Albert Einstein) and Path of the Pole (1970). Hapgood speculated that the ice mass at one or both poles over-accumulates which destabilizes the earth's rotational balance, causing slippage of all or much of earth's outer crust around the earth's core, which retains its axial orientation. Based on his own research, he argued that each shift took approximately five thousand years, followed by 20 to 30 thousand year periods with no polar movements. Also, in his calculations, the area of movement never covered more than 40 degrees. His examples of recent locations for the North Pole include the Yukon Territory, Hudson Bay, and in the Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and Norway.

This is an example of slow pole shift motion, which displays the most minor alterations and no destruction. A more dramatic view assumes more rapid changes, with dramatic alterations of geography and localized areas of destruction due to earthquakes and tsunamis. Several recent books propose changes that take place in weeks, days, or even hours, resulting in a variety of doomsday scenarios.

Regardless of speed, the results of a shift occurring results in major climate changes for most of the earth's surface, as areas that were formerly equatorial become temperate, and areas that were temperate become either more equatorial or more arctic.

Hapgood wrote to Canadian librarian, Rand Flem-Ath, encouraging him in his pursuit of scientific evidence to back Hapgood's claim and in his expansion of the theory. Flem-Ath published the results of this work in 1995 in When the Sky Fell co-written with his wife, Rose.

Other theories which are not dependent upon polar ice masses include those involving:

* a high-velocity asteroid or comet which hits Earth at such an angle that the lithosphere moves independent of the mantle
* a high-velocity asteroid or comet which hits Earth at such an angle that the entire planet shifts axis.
* an unusually magnetic celestial object which passes close enough to Earth to temporarily reorient the magnetic field, which then “drags” the lithosphere about a new axis of rotation. Eventually, the sun's magnetic field again determines the Earth's, after the intruding celestial object “returns” to a location from which it cannot influence Earth.
* perturbations of the topography of the core-mantle boundary, perhaps induced by differential core rotation and shift of its axial rotation vector, leading to CMB mass redistributions.
* mass redistributions in the mantle from mantle avalanches or other deformations.

Nostradamus' Quatrain 10 72 interpreted to be NIBIRU a comet to strike Earth around the year 2012

The Prophecy of St. Malachy and his 112 popes and coming from a 12th Century Bishop the last few popes and prophecies seem to match up eerily enough

• 258 Leo XIII (1878-1903) 102 Lumen in cælo(Light in the Heavens)
• Hist.: Leo XIII wrote encyclicals on Catholic social teaching that were still being digested 100 years later. He added considerably to theology.
• 259 St. Pius X (1903-1914) 103 Ignis ardens (ardent fire)
• Hist.: The Pope had great personal piety and achieved a number of important reforms in the devotional and liturgical life of priests and laypeople.
• 260 Benedict XV (1914-1922) 104 Religio depopulata (Religion laid waste)
• Hist.: This Pope reigned during the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia which store the establishment of Communism.
• 261 Pius XI (1922-1939) 105 Fides intrepida (Intrepid faith)
• Hist.: This Pope stood up to Fascist and Communist forces lining up against him in the lead up to World War II.

• 262 Pius XII (1939-1958) 106 Pastor angelicus (Angelic Shepherd)
• Hist.: This Pope was very mystical, and is believed to have received visions. People would kneel when they received telephone calls from him. His encyclicals add enormously to the understanding of Catholic beliefs (even if they are now overlooked because of focus on the Second Vatican Council, which occurred so soon after his reign).
• 263 John XXIII (1958-1963) 107 Pastor et Nauta (pastor and marine)
• Hist.: prior to his election he was patriarch of Venice, a marine city, home of the gondolas
• 264 Paul VI (1963-1978) 108 Flos florum (flower of flowers)
• Hist.: his arms displayed three lilies.
• 265 John Paul I (1978) 109 De medietate Lunæ (of the half of the moon)
• Hist.: Albino Luciani, born in Canale d'Agardo, diocese of Belluno, (beautiful moon) Elected pope on August 26, his reign lasted about a month, from half a moon to the next half...

• 266 John Paul II (1978-2005) 110 De labore Solis (of the eclipse of the sun, or from the labour of the sun)
• Hist.: Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 during a solar eclipse. He also comes from behind the former Iron Curtain (the East, where the Sun rises). He might also be seen to be the fruit of the intercession of the Woman Clothed with the Sun labouring in Revelation 12 (because of his devotion to the Virgin Mary). His Funeral occurred on 8 April, 2005 when there was a solar eclipse visible in the Americas.
• 267 Benedict XVI (2005-) 111 Gloria olivæ
• The Benedictine order traditionally said this Pope would come from their order, since a branch of the Benedictine order is called the Olivetans. St Benedict is said to have prophesied that before the end of the world, a member of his order would be Pope and would triumphantly lead the Church in its fight against evil. While the Holy Father chose the name "Benedict", this does not seem enough to fulfil the prophecy. Nor is it clear how Benedict XVI (a Bavarian) is "Glory of the Olives". Since he is said to have remarked in the Conclave after saying he would take the name Benedict that it was partly to honour Benedict XV, a pope of peace and reconciliation, perhaps Benedict XVI will be a peacemaker in the Church or in the World, and thus carry the olive branch.

And the next prophecy for Pope 112? Petrus Romanus?
In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & Judex tremêdus judicabit populum suum. Finis.
(In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people. The End.)

Hmm, I think I may go check out Berea, Kentucky

“It is the end of the world, as we know it - nothing more and nothing less.”
In a way that is a horribly exciting and comforting thought



and yeah I know that it’s probably not going to happen , but it’s fun to think so.
Anyway we’re all peacing out by the year 1 mil so drink and be merry for (on some) tomorrow we die.
Carpe diem that shit and que sera, sera
