Do You Feel The Hate?

As fear grows around the world, so does it's twin sister emotion: hate. According to Princeton University's WordNet, hate is defined as: S: (n) hate, hatred (the emotion of intense dislike; a feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action); and the action is growing as those who have gnawed their fingernails to the quick have little left to do but attack. A pervasive sense of fear is flooding the modern world as those who have everything ponder the possibility they might lose it all; they wonder if all the things they have represent priorities that might possibly be wrong, or that the inevitability of their own death is real and will wipe out all these things no matter what happens in this world. Their eyes pop open wide, they gasp. When backed into a corner, they attack; you may well have been the victim of such a person. How did you react? Did you flee or fight when confronted with the gnashing teeth of hate?

We recommend you flee! Run to a safe place you build for yourself that needs no fence or barricade to defend. Build a house inside your head that has a cozy fireplace, soft music and candlelight. No retribution you can mete out will bring you justice; your own fear factor will increase in magnitudes when revenge is taken. You will be looking over your shoulder forever.

As an example of the hate of action growing in this world, we suggest you read the story of the suicide of 13 year old Megan Meier. She was victimized by the parents of a scorned friend who emotionally abused her with the assistance of a Myspace website. They tricked her. Their words carried more weight than everyday name calling; after all, they appeared in print and on the Internet. The shame the girl felt as a result of the carefully engineered emotional attack, the hate of action created by adults, drove her to suicide.

The fear is quivering in the very brain stems of those most unable to cope. They are on the attack and looking for you. You run as fast as you can; hide inside your safe place with your head under the covers and shiver in fear. It is your only option. Such is the inevitable pain of The Apocalypse Times....

Laughing At The Space Men; UFOs Aren't Real

Why giggles not gasps, or jeers, or raspberries at prominent people coming out with their opinion on the UFO phenomenon? Just yesterday, a top cabinet official in Japan expressed his opinion, "This is an issue that the nation is interested in -- it is a defense issue and a confirmation operation needs to take place." Perhaps the giggles are a nervous laugh, a reaction of fear to the possibility that we are NOT the only sentient beings roaming our galaxy. Certainly an Aztec chieftain would have been laughed off the pyramid had he told his tribe: "...men with hairy faces, very advanced weapons, and giant sea ships are coming to attack us from a land across the ocean."


Often, when we are afraid, we laugh; but what are we afraid of in this case? If indeed it were unveiled that space men are visiting us from across the universe what might it mean for the everyday Joe? According to a December 15th, 1960 New York Times article regarding a massive study commissioned by NASA:

"The report, prepared by the Brookings Institution, said 'while the discovery of intelligent life in other parts of the universe is not likely in the immediate future, it could nevertheless, happen at any time.' Discovery of Intelligent beings on other planets could lead to an all-out effort by earth to contact them, or it could lead to sweeping changes or even the downfall of civilization, the report said."

"Even on earth, it added, 'societies sure of their own place have disintegrated when confronted by a superior society, and others have survived even though changed.'"

Let's suppose that everyday Joe finds out that he doesn't have to buy gasoline, that his transportation can be driven with free energy. Millions of everyday Joes would suddenly be out of work. Subsequently, millions more who depend on the oil industry for income would be penniless too. A great, global economic collapse might well be the result of UFO "disclosure".

Suppose that we were told that UFOs had come here to harvest us? After all, we have no moral qualms about eating, experimenting on and using lower forms of intelligence for our purposes. Perhaps moral relativism is more than we really believe it is. After all, we have no higher source when it comes to the mind to consult with on what is actually right or wrong, good or evil. We look to sources like The Bible to set our moral standards; and even with such a written document, the decisions and judgments that we make vary widely according to interpretation. Some cultures still condone stoning to death as a just punishment for crimes based on written religious testament.

If UFOs are real, and they are far more technologically advanced than we; it doesn't necessarily follow that they hold themselves to higher moral standards. One might make the argument that a lost tribe of pygmies has a higher ethical standard than today's American family man. One drives a car, the other sharpens a wooden spear: who is morally and ethically superior? The one who abandons his wife and kids for a stripper, or the one who hunts wild boars to keep his family alive? We are not making a judgment here ourselves...but merely trying to ponder the implications of contact with another "superior" civilization. Without prior contact with minds other than our own, all we have is speculation. It may well be a sublime event. Such are the musings of The Apocalypse Times...

Got Evil?

Have you been having problems at work, or school? Yes, you may have noticed it and not been able to put your finger on it; but something is happening to people. They're changing. Yes, you may be noticing the growing evil in the world in your own life: Your fellow students judge you, isolate and label you. You have a boss who sets you up to fail, who him or herself is failing, or having an affair with a co-worker, or embezzling from the company, or lying, or harassing. You have a neighbor who fights with you or a person driving behind you who tailgates you and flashes their lights. You have a family member who hurts your feelings, who ridicules you, makes you feel worthless, who is jealous of you and vengeful. You have a fellow church member who is gossiping about you. People, of course, have been treating each other like crap since the beginning of humanity...but we, and others, have noticed that things are getting worse. People seem desperate; desperate to have something. The problem: they don't know what it is.

There is an energy of some sort building in this world which is making people crazy. They seem to be taking one of two directions:

1. To the world.
2. To the spirit.

For those of you who are Christians, you may want to remember the words of Jesus Christ: Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." John 18:36

If you are Buddhist: “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”-Buddha

Those who are seeking refuge in the things of the world are becoming more terrified than ever. Many of them claim to know God and even worship in churches; but they know no peace because they seek it amongst the dark corners. Even the Pope has recently spoken out on the dangers of consumerism with respect to the young, but it holds true for all:

"...they don't go after the true meaningful things in life. Adolescents, youths and even children are easy victims of the corruption of love, deceived by unscrupulous adults who, lying to themselves and to them, draw them into the dead-end streets of consumerism."

Recent examples of the desperate state of the human condition include: The recent mass murder in an Omaha shopping mall. The story of a youth who was seen holding a gun in the mouth of a dog in the UK. Authorities surmised that the dog had been tortured in a prolonged attack. Hate is fear; as fear grows so does hate. You will see more and more evidence of the desperation emerge in your local news and in your personal life. Many have their fingers coiled in agony as they hang on the precipice of the cliff of their worldly aspirations. They kick and grimace, dangling there on the verge of "failure".

Your mission is to choose the right path. There is no one you can control but yourself. We quote Buddha once again, "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become." Find a way to spirit: it's the only way to survive The Apocalypse Times.

How does this happen? A little boy becomes a gunman....

This macabre, mass murder event that just took place in safe, hometown Omaha Nebraska says more about our society than it says about this little boy: Robert Hawkins. When young men, unguided, unwanted, unloved, unusual, un-everything venture out to murder it's because there is no love: no hugs, no smiles, no pats on the back, no safety. CNN interviewed his landlord who explicated the details of his suicide note: Why does a little boy have a landlord instead of a father? To his landlord, he was a "lost puppy" that nobody wanted. "He was a piece of shit all his life, and now he would be famous" was the quote from his "suicide note". Famous...the only thing that matters to a generation raised at the tutelage of "America's Next Top Model" and "Survivor".

The next mass murderer may well have just walked past you on the street. You may well have pointed and laughed at him, ridiculed him, and walked past with a smile, self-satisfied that he was a loser and you had proved yourself superior. You are the "Survivor" and voted your brother off the island. No one survives this world and as a famous person from the Bible once said: "My Kingdom is not of this world." Save some love for your brother...please.

You should close your eyes and pray right now because this "Christian country" has fallen so far from God that it doesn't have a clue where to look. On it's knees economically, fighting wars with yellow bumper stickers, and quagmired in puddles of rabid foam dripping from talk show hosts grimaced mouths Americans seem to be living in the squalor of a warped neo-Theology: a tit-for-tat, let me do God's work religion. Revenge is the modus operandi, hate is the everyday word on the street and forgiveness has become a gut-wrenching disguise for sacrifice.

When little boys murder, God is involved; for He loves all of us and would not forsake an innocent son to take the lives of those he loves just as much. This murder is about the disappearance of love from this world; it's time to listen to God. Listen to your brother and look at him with compassion. He is not your enemy; there is nothing to win..there will be no survivors.

God rest the souls of the innocent that died in this event.

Fire In The Sky Over Los Angeles--Earthquake Lights?

Could the recent reports of lights in the sky portend an imminent earthquake for Los Angeles? "Fire in the sky" was recently reported over Los Angeles and was explained away by Fire Dept. spokesperson Brian Humphrey as being the remnants of meteor showers. "We received several 911 calls from concerned citizens early today about fire being seen across the Los Angeles skies". We have witnessed many a meteor shower in our time and have never noticed an effect we would label as "fire in the sky". We're not saying it is impossible for a fantastic meteor shower to light up the sky. In 1833, a Latter Day Saints apostle, Parley P. Pratt, witnessed the "night the stars fell":


"About two o'clock the next morning we were called up by the cry of signs in the heavens. We arose, and to our great astonishment all the firmament seemed enveloped in splendid fireworks, as if every star in the broad expanse had been hurled from its course, and sent lawless through the wilds of the ether. Thousands of bright meteors were shooting through space in every direction, with long trains of light following their course. This lasted for several hours, and was only closed by the dawn of the rising sun."

It's possible the fire in the sky over Los Angeles recently was caused by a phenomenon known as "earthquake lights". Below is a short video taken following the devastating earthquake in Peru which occurred on August 15th, 2007; it shows the phenomenon of earthquake lights:



The phenomenon was once believed to be a fantasy, much like the UFO story, until the lights were recorded on photographs during a Japanese earthquake swarm during the mid 1960s. Even the USGS admits that:

"While EQL [earthquake lights] sightings are often given more exotic labels, they are a recognized geophysical phenomenon that may one day contribute to the possibility of forecasting earthquakes in the few locations where they occur. "

We suggest that it is possible these lights are portending an earthquake and it may be something the L.A. Fire Dept. has in the back of their minds. Of, course it may just be nothing...such is the wonder and confusion of The Apocalypse Times.

Compelling Answer to the Mystery of Crop Circles

We were recently sent a copy of a somewhat disturbing video that seems to show a pattern in the history of crop circles; a pattern that might suggest an object is headed toward earth. If nothing else, the video is a well done work of art. To us here at The Apocalypse Times, however, there seems to be more to it; the images are compelling and warrant further investigation along these lines. The creator of the video is convinced that he has solved the mystery, uncovered the message of the crop circles. You know, he might just be right!
