Apocalypse 2012 the CBC Doc Zone Last Night

Apocalypse 2012 the CBC Doc Zone Last Night

Connor (guest) 03 Dec 2010 20:02

I've long thought 2012 was a load of crap, just as I think about ever dooms day. This however, is not how many of the people I know think and they in fact, think 2012 will happen.

Sometimes I'm glad most of my family is uber Christians and toss this stuff to the curb because the bible says no such thing. This just make it easier for me.

However the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) had a documentary called "Apocalypse 2012" that I made sure to watch. It didn't cover everything but it did a good job and I think you'll find some of the interviews interesting. (people like Gyrel)

I only posted so people who don't get the CBC could possibly watch a good doc on this.

You can find a summary here: http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/2010/apocalypse2012/
And you can watch it here: http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/video.html?ID=1678468442

Enjoy Everyone :)

It's not available for viewing outside Canada. I'll have to wait for it to turn up on YouTube.

i thought CBC was a respected corporation. i seen the show about other issues, and they do a good job, but isnt this taking a little too far to make money? isnt it the same people over and over again?

Connor (guest) 03 Dec 2010 22:15

Darn. I never even though of that. I'll see if I can find it somewhere else.

Winters (guest) 04 Dec 2010 06:08

Winters (guest) 05 Dec 2010 15:14

You can always download it with real player make a file then send it out!!!

bikenbeer2000 05 Dec 2010 17:35

Part 1 (of 5) is on YouTube. Presumably, the other 4 parts will follow.

mike1986 05 Dec 2010 18:28

Post a link to it Bikenbear2000.

bikenbeer2000 05 Dec 2010 22:16

Already done. Anything in red is a link, so click on YouTube in my previous post.

mike1986 05 Dec 2010 23:55

Good video but i want to point out a couple things. First when they show the Bunker that has everything stored away in it the guy says it would last four human years. Umm that's only if one person is going to live in that Bunker i live with four other people right now and groceries usually only last probably 3 or 4 days. Yeah i think i'd rather die quick than eventually convert to cannobolisim. Next point in one of the interviews persumibly a high school student says that all these scientists are expecting something big in 2012. Really what scientists maybe the pseudoscientists like Geryl and Joeseph are saying that but no credible scientist is saying that. Other than that i hope more of that gets posted.

bikenbeer2000 06 Dec 2010 13:02

All 5 parts have now been uploaded. Here are the links:

Thanks for that Bikenbear. Now we have a little insight to why Patrick Geryl thinks the way he does an Apocolyptic Vision i also like the fact that one guys plan on Dec 21st 2012 is to jump off a rock and through some imiginary portal Um Okay that makes no sense and is suicide.

Astrogeek 06 Dec 2010 18:31

excellent, thank you. I'm working on a page for this documentary at http://www.2012hoax.org/cbc-doczone

I notice that at the start of Part 4, they show a screenshot of a Google search for Patrick Geryl, and the 2012hoax site comes up third in the search list (as it still does today, because I just looked). I wonder if any of Geryl's disciples have noticed this, investigated and been distracted back into the world of common sense.
I can understand kids falling for it, but it's worrying when you see the number of adults buying into this hoax. I wonder where the people who sold them the survival goods and shelters will be on 22nd December 2012. Well out of the line of fire I should think.

tony (guest) 06 Dec 2010 20:27

Why does Geryl think the way he does?

I try and stay away from any videos that show adults who are supporting a 2012 doomsday…it just tweeks my anxiety further.

mike1986 06 Dec 2010 20:34

He's Crazy that's why he thinks the way he does.

Astrogeek 06 Dec 2010 20:37

Well, according to that show, he "had a vision"

Tony (guest) 06 Dec 2010 20:57

A vision the defies all physics? hm…

Is it a common theme for doomsayers to be completely out of touch with reality?

Astrogeek 06 Dec 2010 21:03

It seems that there is a fairly strong correlation, yes.

Winters (guest) 09 Dec 2010 17:01

Because he has dream about it thats why.

II find Geryl pretty stupid to talk on tv saying its all a dream so this this was made up just because the jerk has dream pissing me off I tell you.
Now we all know its all about money they all admited that.

Astrogeek 06 Dec 2010 20:38

Thanks for the heads up on that. I didn't even realize we were ranking that high on a search on his name.

CaneLaz 06 Dec 2010 22:36

I found the movie to be fascinating, especially Geryl and Cordier's interviews. It's the first time I've seen Geryl and him together publicly. On Cordier's website, he makes no mention of Geryl. Also, I have yet to see Gino Ratinckx in any of Geryl's public appearances. After all, he was his co-author.

On Cordier's website, he references it being somewhat of a spa atmosphere up until the date where people can earn money. Doesn't a statement like that strike anyone else that maybe there's doubt adding up? I mean, what good will the currency be? I only say this because Geryl comes across as so sure. I'd like to hear more reactions.

CaneLaz 06 Dec 2010 22:37

I must say, I was also surprised at Dr. Morrison's reaction when he was asked about Geryl's theory. He seemed ticked that the reporter would even ask. I'm sure all this is taking a toll on him as well.

Astrogeek 08 Dec 2010 07:42

Morrison is frustrated that his "Ask an Astrobiologist" page was essentially taken over by people asking "2012" questions.

I can understand that. He wants to talk about real science, but so many people do indeed seem to flood it with those types of questions.

steven (guest) 09 Dec 2010 11:21

i really like what you people are doing here . this nibiru nonsense is well out of hand, they are even filming venus on the horizon and uploading it on youtube saying look how close nibiru is getting ,and people are buying it.
i wish i could help out :)

3WMElliott 09 Dec 2010 16:47

Everywhere you see a video and you know what it is, post a comment saying so. If you've got the capability, post a video too. Just chisel away at it.

Good to see that as often as I see those types of videos on YouTube, over the past week there have been more than a few videos actively opposed to the nonsense, and flat out telling you what you're looking at. The more we see of that, the less we hopefully see of proponents claiming all manner of things.

obaeyens 09 Dec 2010 17:46

I agree with 3WMElliott.
We have to counter the false claims about 2012 with real facts and make people think.
