OK Are the nuts starting to come out of the woods?

I had a friend on FB who posted:

"Anyone intrigued by prediction of financial collapse and rapture beginning Sept 2015 coinciding with the blood moons and Jewish holidays? Anyone storing Water, food, cash, or building bunkers? You can pm me...just interested. My boys stepmother is warning them about it, but....."

I've seen this tripe popping up everywhere! It's great. So here's the lowdown, right?

The Evil Jews (because naturally there is no other kind, duh) are going to crash the world economy like they do every 7 years so that Agenda 21 can be put into place to kill off billions of people. And an asteroid is going to hit on September 23 or 24th, and the Simpsons mentioned that because they had a clock in an episode that said 9-(something)-23, proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that it meant 9-23-2015. Unless it meant 9-24-2015, which is hinted at in Deep Impact, and the Elites (tm) are never wrong. That's why they mentioned Bruce Jenner in an episode, see!

Now, don't forget CERN, which has a statue of Shiva the destroyer, is going to start up the LHC that destroyed the world last time it was used (there's actually a theory about that, it's hilarious!) and open a black hole to hell to pull through demons and lucifer when they drag through some dark matter. This will cause the rapture, which will be covered up with an alien attack to 'explain' the rapture. Which starts The Tribulation, which I suspect will be brought to a short end by the aforementioned asteroid the next day.

Then after the world ends, there's a Blood Moon in Jerusalem on the 28th.

Makes perfect sense!

See, the Evil Jews are crashing all metal prices because (insert a bunch of pseudo-financial stuff here) and that's why they're intentionally driving up the prices. And the Reptoids like gold because monoatomic gold or something like that; dunno, only heard the insane refer to that one once.

See, makes perfect sense.

Just your typical Wal-Mart is a concentration camp, FEMA is evil, and the UN wants to kill the world stuff. The same paper that has been passed around since at least 1994, when I first saw it regarding Wal-Marts, UN troops, and President Clinton.

(In case anyone wonders, yes I love to watch these things. I don't believe a word of them (duh), but being reminded that you're one of the few sane ones in an insane world does wonders for battling depression. )

And really, if we're not pinpointing down a 1,000,000 year time frame to within 10 hours or so, are we even trying to understand the cosmic significance of the Starbuck's Logo?!

But suffice to say I think my neighbors are concerned.

Alright, I pass control of the asteroid to Orlando, I'll use...umm...(checks newest silly vids)...ooh the Norwegian Spiral. It'll open to umm...that one place they're talking about near Yemen (something Aden), and then it'll sub-open near Yellowstone to help out the giant hole in Florida.

And like the Illuminati will make a pyramid something or another, too. Because it's not really a conspiracy until you have them or the Freemasons involved.

Remember, most people in this country believe that a person came back from the dead, walked on water, turned water into wine...

Why should this latest absurdity come as any surprise?

We've witnessed a perfect storm of technological advancements that brought us to this point.

---

The ad square contains a Hawkings' twisted face; in the Hawkings' gaze a shadow figure (that may be Satan); and a Christian cross in the sky in an array of light beams and clouds.

---

This has been the most frequent ad in the right top OP box for me at DU recently.

So far have never even been tempted to click.

---

That narrative is spread all over the internet, one could guess that the more one looks the more one will find.

Creepy that so many folks would participate in floating and even believing this crap.

Shit is going to happen, who knows when and where.

Some people are in the crossfires of personal versions of existential events.

What humans are capable of believing and doing and ignoring is awe inspiring and dark.

Nuts but also dark.

for me to get my story about the afterlife after the apocalypse published! And my story does involve an asteroid hitting Earth.

Am I psychic or what?
