Yea, Uncle Ferd wantin' to know if dey need any help at dat womens prison?...

In Russia, it’s official: This isn’t the end of the world
Mon, Dec 03, 2012 - APOCALYPSE NOT NOW: One Russian official has proposed prosecuting people who spread a rumor that the world will end on Dec. 21 — starting on Dec. 22

There are scattered reports of unusual behavior from across Russia’s nine time zones. Inmates in a women’s prison near the Chinese border are said to have experienced a “collective mass psychosis” so intense that their wardens summoned a priest to calm them. In a factory town east of Moscow, panicked citizens stripped shelves of matches, kerosene, sugar and candles. A huge Mayan-style archway is being built — out of ice — on Karl Marx Street in Chelyabinsk in the south. For those not schooled in New Age prophecy, there are rumors the world will end on Dec. 21, when a 5,125-year cycle known as the Long Count in the Mayan calendar supposedly comes to a close. Russia, a nation with a penchant for mystical thinking, has taken notice.

Last week, Russia’s government decided to put an end to the doomsday talk. Its minister of emergency situations said on Friday that he had access to “methods of monitoring what is occurring on the planet Earth,” and that he could say with confidence that the world was not going to end this month. However, he acknowledged that Russians were still vulnerable to “blizzards, ice storms, tornadoes, floods, trouble with transportation and food supply, breakdowns in heat, electricity and water supply.” Similar assurances have been issued in recent days by Russia’s chief sanitary doctor, a top official of the Russian Orthodox Church, lawmakers from the State Duma and a former disc jockey from Siberia who recently placed first in the television show Battle of the Psychics. One official proposed prosecuting Russians who spread the rumor — starting on Dec. 22.

‘NEGATIVE ACTIONS’

“You cannot endlessly speak about the end of the world, and I say this as a doctor,” said Leonid Ogul, a member of parliament’s environment committee. “Everyone has a different nervous system, and this kind of information affects them differently. Information acts subconsciously. Some people are provoked to laughter, some to heart attacks, and some — to some negative actions.” Russia is not the only country to face this problem. In France, the authorities plan to bar access to Bugarach mountain in the south to keep out a flood of visitors who believe it is a sacred place that will protect a lucky few from the end of the world. The patriarch of Ukraine’s Orthodox Church recently issued a statement assuring the faithful that “doomsday is sure to come,” but that it will be provoked by the moral decline of mankind, not the “so-called parade of planets or the end of the Mayan calendar.”

In Yucatan State in Mexico, which has a large Mayan population, most place little stock in end-of-days talk. Officials are planning a Mayan cultural festival on Dec. 21 and, to show that all will be well after that, a follow-up next year. Russians can be powerfully transported by emotions, as the Reverend Tikhon Irshenko witnessed during his visit to Prison Colony No. 10 in the village of Gornoye. In an interview with the Data news service, Tikhon said he was summoned to the prison last month. The wardens told him that anxiety over the Mayan prophecy had been building for two months, and some inmates had broken out of the facility “because of their disturbing thoughts.” Some of the women were sick, or having seizures, he said. “Once, when the prisoners were standing in formation, one of them imagined that the earth yawned, and they were all stricken by fear and ran in all directions,” the priest said.

Chinese gonna save us from the Mayan apocalypse...

‘Great Ball’ of China to save world on doomsday
Fri, Dec 14, 2012 - As people across the globe tremble in anticipation of next week’s supposed Mayan-predicted apocalypse, one Chinese villager says he may have just what humanity needs: tsunami-proof survival pods.

Camouflage-clad farmer and furniture maker Liu Qiyuan, 45, inspected his latest creation: A sphere several meters tall he calls “Noah’s Ark,” which is designed to withstand towering tsunamis and devastating earthquakes. “The pod won’t have any problems even if there are 1,000m high waves ... it’s like a ping-pong ball, its skin may be thin, but it can withstand a lot of pressure,” he told reporters at his workshop in Qiantun, an hour from Beijing. Liu’s seven completed or under construction pods are made using a fiberglass casing over a steel frame and have cost him 300,000 yuan (US$48,000) each, he said. The pods are equipped with oxygen tanks, food and water, as well as seat belts — essential for staying safe in storms, Liu said, strapping himself into position before his assistants shook the sphere vigorously from outside. “The pods are designed to carry 14 people at a time, but it’s possible for 30 people to survive inside for at least two months,” he said.

Their insulation was such that “a person could live for four months in the pod at the North or South Pole without freezing, or even feeling slightly cold,” Liu added. One of the spheres even boasts the domestic comforts of a table, bed and flowery wallpaper. Liu said he came up with the design after watching the 2009 Hollywood disaster film 2012, which is inspired by the expiry on Dec. 21 of the Mayan Long Count, a more than 5,125-year-long calendar used by the ancient Central American civilization. Apocalyptic predictions have provoked widespread fears among believers, including in China, where two rural counties sold out of candles this month after a panic that three days of darkness would begin on Dec. 21, Xinhua news agency reported. A businessman in Zhejiang Province has received 21 orders for bright yellow doomsday survival pods for 5 million yuan each, the state-run China Daily reported.

A man from China’s northwestern province of Xinjiang told reporters that he has invested all his savings, approximately US$160,000, to build a survival ark, fearing that his home will be engulfed in a doomsday flood. Chinese authorities have sought to reassure citizens, with Beijing’s police force publishing an online notice on Wednesday stating that “the so-called end of the world is a rumor” and advising citizens to use “scientific concepts.” Liu first conceived of spherical houses to withstand earthquakes, but switched his focus to survival technology after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which claimed nearly one-quarter of a million lives.

Liu, who is married and has a daughter, said many were skeptical when he first outlined his plans and he has not sold any of the pods, and is worried about repaying loans he took to fund his workshop. “I worked for many years without saving much money ... I invested most of my money in the pods, because it’s worth it, it’s about saving lives,” he said. Keen to demonstrate the design’s strength, he used a step-ladder to clamber inside one pod before an assistant reversed a pick-up truck into it, inflicting only a minor scratch on its surface. Peeking out of the hatch, he grinned triumphantly.
