What exactly is a web bot you ask? Bots are software applications that run automated tasks over the Internet. They perform tasks that can be both simple and structurally repetitive at a much faster pace than humans. The technology works by a system of spiders, agents, and wanderers that travel the net. It works much like a search engine in that it looks for particular words. Discussions groups, translation sites, and sites where people post a lot of text are targeted.
When a target word is found, the web bot takes a snapshot of surrounding text and sends it to a central collection point. This collection point reads a bit like the I Ching because phrases are associated with how people relate or talk about an event or how they change their speech to reflect their thought after an event has happened. Essentially, the bots are tapping into the “collective unconscious” of the universe and its inhabitants. Creepy eh?
Here's where it gets a bit bizarre. The Web Bot Project of the 1990's was developed to assist in making stock market predictions. In 2001, bot operators began to notice some strange occurrences. In June of 2001, the bot program predicted that a life altering even would take place within 60-90 days. The event would be felt worldwide. That event was 9/11.
The web bots have also predicted some other events that have already occurred. Supposedly they predicted the crash of American 587, the D.C. sniper, the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, and the 2003 northeast power outage. And it gets stranger still.
Apparently the web bots have predicted a life-changing event for 2012. This event corresponds with the end of the current era in the Mayan Calendar. Not to be taken literally, this probably signifies nothing more than a symbolic end, perhaps a shifting into a more spiritual age rather than a scientific one. At any rate, many predictors correspond with the web bots prediction, such as Merlin's vision of the planets “running riot,” the I Ching, the Bible, and the Hopi Indians belief that the world has been created and destroyed four times, and that we are now entering the Fifth World. The Hopis believed that the coming of the new world would be marked by rising waters, the sun getting hotter, and natural disasters.
So does this mean the world is going to go kabloey? Hopefully not. Probably not. If anything, the 2012 prophecy may be referring to a possible pole reversal, and I use the word possible, as in there is a very teensy weensy probability. Some geologists and scientists seem to think we are marked for a polar reversal, heading towards a theater near you.
The Mayans believed there existed a dark rift in the center of the Milky Way. Incidentally, that rift has been discovered to be a black hole. It is suggested that on December 21, 2012, the sun and earth will be in direct alignment with this black hole. Magnetic shifts could take place as a result.
So here's where people start freaking out and run for their bomb shelters. Not so fast. If the poles did reverse, we'd be seeing a lot of animals doing wacky stuff. They're usually a good indicator for some bad stuff about to go down. Animals rely on a natural navigatory force based on magnetism. If the poles are disrupted anytime soon, whales and dolphins would be beaching themselves at an epic proportion, the likes of which have never been seen. Birds would be flying in confusion, not knowing where their homes were. Animals would be lost. And let's not forget us.
The human brain contains magnetite. Let's say the poles do reverse. People in mass records would start becoming disoriented and confused. People would not be able to balance or perform simple coordination movements. Besides, the pole reversal would be the least of our worries. Gamma rays would penetrate the cells of all living matter creating genetic mutations (and I'm not talking about the cute little critters on the Simpson's kind of mutations) and cell death. And keep in mind that web bots are nothing more than imperfect technology. Man created them, who is himself imperfect, and all doomsday prophesies as of yet, have yet to be proven right.
