Ex-Governor Jessie Ventura (kind of nuts) featured his "Conspiracy" T.V. show on 2012 several weeks ago. Okay, so the guy talks to NASA engineers about the "geosphere degradation", solar flare atmosphereic impact, and the possibilities, etc, etc, etc. So the Gov. takes it a step further and talks to "2012 survival experts" and he meets an architect who bought into the old missle silos in the midwest and their present day construction for "survivable condo's" for the wealthy. The abandoned silos were impressive. The guy tells the Gov, "hey the biggest shelter is being built under an airport". So Jessie heads over to Denver's new airport and goes nuts reading the corner stone dedication monument inside the airport thats states, "NEW WORLD AIRPORT COMMISSION". Say what? Suddenly the huge wall murals at Denver are satanic, terrifying and no less than weird! Whats with gargoyles sitting in suitcases mounted around the airport anyways? The Gov's buddies claim that a 300,000 square foot shelter exists under or proximal to the airport and that massive tunneling has been done between the airport and Cheyenne Mountain. The conspiracy widens as the "experts" claim the government has been building survival bunkers all over the country for the last several years. So thats where the stimulus money is really going!

You can take this all the way to crystal skulls, galactic alignment, alien invasion and the brilliance of the Mayan people to Nostordamus, Bible Codes, asteroids and of course Jessie Ventura. Add hollywoods addition to promoting the paranoia (2012 and Knowing) and you have a wave of wonderment, excitement and apprehension, but wow are we fascinated with our own destruction.

As a kid, I used to look at LIFE and LOOK magazines as they featured, "How to build a shelter in your basement" to survive a nuclear attack. Brick by brick construction instructions, ventilation, survival rationing, etc. Pretty scarey stuff back then. It was right in front of you...Build or Die!

I find the whole 2012 thing pretty interesting.
