Of course, they won't admit that it's garbage and b.s.... They'll just lay low for awhile, claim a "math error", pick a new date, and con the gullible into ponying up more millions as they wait for the next non-event. Since he pulled it back in 1994 and was wrong then too, you have to wonder how many times the stupid fall for the same ruse...

If our continued belief in SS and Medicare is any example, the answer would be every time the ruse is pulled. Washington keeps telling us we can all be saved if we will only pay a little more in taxes - and we fall for it every time...........

Wasn't it L. Ron Hubbard who said if you wanted to be a rich man start your own religion? People tend to not be nearly as careful when dealing with a man of God. Or what is a guarantee of a quality, eternal life worth to you? Everything?

Indulgences anyone?

Thanks for that totally irrelevant off-topic post... I'll file it where I usually file your Sovereign Citizen, Federalist, Jeffersonian, 18th-19th century silliness (that seems to be your answer to everything, including the weather and the cost of tea in China...) Which is to say, I'll ignore it.

You forgot "federated government"... Here's a place to enter it: _____________________

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

He really isn't that far off is he? If everyone who has put money into SS and Medicare wanted their money back, what percentage of our "contribution" would be available for us to get back? I'm thinking we would be lucky to get back 2%.

As for the idiots that gave money to the doomsday scammer, some will wake up and others will give him more down the road. It's a lot like giving money to politicians thinking they'll be getting some good hope and change, then they are only left with more hope.

In 2068 Jesus is in charge - I guess it takes him a while to get it all together so he can rule, huh?

But that's ok - I'll be ready for the world to end cuz in 2067 redheads are extinct. I got nuthin to live for then. I'm gonna hate breaking that news to my redheaded wife.
