One Year to go Until December 21, 2012

That’s right, one year to go until the big day, December 21, 2012. Will we see the end times, doom and gloom prophecy play out or will we see quite the opposite; a worldwide consciousness transformation that ushers in a golden age? Those are the two extremes. Will be land somewhere in between, or will it just be another day?
Over the past decade, the world seems to have become more chaotic. We’ve had 9/11, disasters, political upheavels and global social movements. Here are some highlights from the past decade leading up to the present as we are about to enter 2012.
A major economic collapse with the dot com implosion starts in 2000.

1. George W. Bush is elected President (or stole the election depending upon your perspective)

7. On May 21, 2003, an earthquake in the Boumerdès region of northern Algeria kills 2,200.

10. On December 26, 2004, one of the worst natural disasters in recorded history hits Southeast Asia, when the strongest earthquake in 40 years hits the entire Indian Ocean region. The massive 9.3 magnitude earthquake generates enormous tsunami waves that crash into the coastal areas of a number of nations including Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Malaysia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. The official death toll from the Boxing Day Tsunami in the affected countries stands at approximately 230,000 people dead or still missing.

18. In spring of 2011, the middle east is struck with social unrest as people revolt against established power structures.
19. In August of 2011, the Occupy Wall Street movement begins which turns into a worldwide movement against the top 1 percent of wealth holders.

Of course there were positive events in the last eleven years, one of which is the explosion of the Internet, empowering people with information and tools to enable growth and opportunity. The biggest result is the awakening of minds to global power structures. Let’s see where this all takes us. We have one year to go until the anticipated date of 12/21/2012. Post your feedback and let’s see what people think about 2012. Good, bad or a non-event.
