Sorry, let me introduce myself first, I'm from Australia, (nothing out of ordinary here) and 19 years of age, heard about this stuff since 16 lol.
Anyways, today I was talking to my partner, and while she isn't a big believer in this 2012 stuff, her grandpa, like me, likes to debunk and look at how it's not possible and the scientific side of things. However just before he said something about 60 years ago there was a massive disaster in Vietnam, trees falling and stuff, and it was happening all over the place. And that this year it should be happening again? Apparently the weather was all messed up and stuff.
Is he talking about a solar flare or something? I remember reading on this site or whatnot about something being overdue. However, I'm not concern much about This but rather the fact that he said all the shit was falling down and yeh.
Like most people hear, I understand the scientific side and know it can't happen (end of the world) but like most of you say "fear tend to get the better of u".
One more question, what's up with that "official illuminati page" on fb counting down? I'm pretty sure if it was a secret society they wouldn't have an fb page? Lolwhut??
Solar flare won't be knocking down trees. Even during times of highest solar flare activity cell phone and satellite service may be interrupted at times. The world is covered with an atmosphere so many of the rays don't enter the atmosphere.
Normally I take 2012 claims seriously, but when they use the illuminati word then all bets are off.
Debating 2012 with people that believe that illuminati is real is complete waste of time.
And it also takes away the resources to really debunk 2012 claims.
Btw, though I don't know any of you, cos I never posted before, I consider you guys friends hehe :) always helping me when I read your responses on other people's post! Hahaha
Without any other details on the Vietnam thing, I would say that was probably a typhoon that hit the region or some other natural disaster caused by…well, the weather. Without looking it up, I don't have statistics on how often that particular region faces disasters like typhoon (but seems like it would be fairly often).
As far as the Illuminati are concerned…just a bunch of bunk. BS, lies…etc. They don't exist. If they did they are the worst at keeping secrets 'cause every nut with a youtube channel has access to their agenda. *tongue in cheek*
"Does it trouble your mind / the way you trouble mine?"
Was thinking typhoon too, couldnt think of the word lol
Yeah I was thinking that too, an area typhoon or whatnot. But yeah not sure what he was on about when he said it had a 60 year cycle, and that we're due for another one soon.
Well, there maybe something statistically there…they haven't had a category five in so many years…etc. It's like here, you get mentions of "Oh, it was a hundred year storm…etc" to describe the effects of a certain weather pattern. Without much more information it's really hard to say.
"Does it trouble your mind / the way you trouble mine?"
Yeah, I was thinking he might've got some stuff mixed up, he's not a believer in the world ending, he just finds it rather interesting with the shit people come up with and reads about it. And yeah, although not fluent in English and everything, as he moved to Australia not long ago, he still understands the alignments and stuff better than most people.
However what concerns me is that this 60 year thing he's talking about, because I have no clue what it was or is that he's talking about. But just said "it happened when I was 11 years old, trees falling, weather was all messed up etc and it's a 60 year thing".
Ps: while this is off topic (hence the off topic post) my partner is quite a joker, I told her it was a scam so ppl can make money. And she's like "really how?" And I'm like "selling books, survival
Kits, bunkers and stuff" and you know what she said? "Oh maybe I should've gotten you a bunker for Christmas then" LOL :/
Can find no evidence of a 60yr cycle, but I do see a 100 year cycle.
The two successive typhoons in 1985 are described as the most catastrophic disaster for 100 years, in which high waves combined with high tides destroyed the dike system and flooded a large area in the central part of Viet Nam

Oh wow! Thank you so much!! That seems to be the case! Appreciate it!
Thank you! I didn't have the time to look up anything last night, so I was going with information I could remember off the top of my head.
"Does it trouble your mind / the way you trouble mine?"
