Doomsday Preppers (currently screening on NatGeo in the USA) is reality TV, so of course it includes some drama. And what happened to Tim Ralston certainly wasn’t scripted:
Meanwhile, David Sarti, who also appeared on the show, has been declared insane. Yet it might all come down to his SHTF beliefs.
He visited a cardiologist and after refusing treatment ended up being kept in a psychiatric unit for evaluation – seemingly because the cardiologist felt Sarti was suicidal. You’d like to think a cardiologist wouldn’t be allowed to make such a call! Sarti was consequently released, with no further action taken, except for one very cruel twist: due to his brief stay at a psych facility, he has been deemed by the Tennessee state to be mentally defective and unfit to own a gun. Yet he is a survivalist… ironic.
Here’s Sarti telling his story:
In the second video he makes it clear that …

SouthernPrepper1 is one of the best survivalists on YouTube. Nothing fancy, but lots of basic, real information and experiences. Here he shows us bunker which he has stored some supplies in. For many scenarios a bunker does not need to protect you long-term, but rather for just a few days. And if that’s the case, your supplies can be kept elsewhere, in more basic surroundings:
He dug his bunker by hand, and used telegraph poles for support. But as he points out in the video, there are many types of soil, so don’t copy him unless you know what you are doing!
OK, the close call was back in 1883, but that just means it could have killed your forefathers and not yourself. The size of the comet and how close it came to Earth have been assigned ranges, but the worst possibility is that it was only 335 miles away, and was as big as the comet that took out the dinosaurs!
Mexican astronomer José Banilla took the image, which appears to show something passing in front of the sun, on August 12 1883.
When it was released publicly in 1886 in the magazine L’Astronomie it was dubbed the first photo of a UFO – a series of 447 objects that looked ‘misty’ and ‘left behind a similar misty trace.’
…A new study by the Univeridad Nacional Autónoma de México now suggests that it was a comet in the process of breaking up.
‘According to our calculations, the distance at which the objects passed …
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago how Newt Gingrich is fearful of an EMP Doomsday. He’s not the only Republican presidential candidate who has some understanding of survivalism.
Ron Paul has an investment portfolio worth as much as five million dollars. 64% is in gold and silver-mining stocks. An investment manager, quoted by the Washington Post, says Paul has made an extreme bet on economic collapse:
“This portfolio is a half-step away from a cellar-full of canned goods and nine-millimeter rounds”

After 17 years on the run Makoto Hirata has surrendered himself to Japanese authorities. He was a member of the Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult that caused the deadly Tokyo subway Sarin gas attack. I find it interesting that he chose the first day of 2012 to surrender. Aum Shinrikyo is still active (under the new name Aleph) with 1000 members, so could 2012 be meaningful to them??
Hold on to your conspiracy …
This is great fodder for Ancient Astronaut theorists. Over in China is a pyramid that has iron pipes within it, and heaps of pipes laying about outside. Like many such mysteries, the pipes could actually be naturally occurring – and Wikipedia cites similar, natural examples. But combined with a pyramid, that’s interesting!
According to Skeptoid, they are fossilized trees, and this seems to ring true (pardon the tree pun)

Seems that the beautiful theory that either Hipparchus or Archimedes designed the Antikythera device is wrong. The way it works suggests that the concept comes from the Babylonians / Sumerians. Increasingly they are looking like the fulcrum of ancient knowledge…

Speaking of fossilized trees, adding to the body of evidence for an ancient crustal displacement (aka pole shift) is another forest found in the Arctic, where it could not possibly have grown today.
