Elenin frenzy gains cult status on the Internet driven by fearmongers
by Joseph Earnest August 24, 2011
Newscast Media HOUSTON, Texas -- The hottest buzz on the Internet is about the comet called Elenin that some have even called Planet X or Nibiru, even though a comet and a planet are two separate objects. Several people have made false predictions including a prior prediction that on March 15, 2011 there would be a "pole-shift" in which the North and South poles would switch places triggering tidal waves hundreds of miles high and cities would be drowned. All of the failed predictions make the Elenin specialists lose credibility because the claims are unsubstantiated nor do the authors produce any credible scientific evidence to demonstrate the validity of their claims.
Youtube has become the most popular platform for video editors to convince their viewers that they are now experts in Astronomy. What betrays the doomsday prophets is their use or mention of Nostradamus and incorporating his predictions into their work to justify the different timelines they have concocted. In essence the public is being induced into fear by people who have no scientific background who are presenting pseudo-science as fact.
The article talks about what would happen in the event the earth were hit with Coronal Mass Ejections triggering geomagnetic storms, something Elenin fearmongers do not mention. Right now the most popular term being thrown around is "alignment of the planets." Planets have always aligned perfectly with the sun in yearly cycles, resulting in earthquakes, which is nothing new. Should a comet from outer space (Elenin) align itself with the sun and earth, there could be some disruptions in the power grid, but there is no scientific evidence that proves we would experience a nuclear winter or ice age, or that the earth would shift on its axis.
The power grid in Washington D.C. faced temporary interruption due to the earthquake that struck the city on Tuesday. These interruptions will force people to develop survival skills and not be entirely dependant on the grid. There are movements across the nation called "Off the grid" movements, that are well adapted to living life without the comfort of technology other than phone and Internet service. If an extended disruption were to occur across America, those currently living off the grid and the Amish would be well-adapted than the rest of the population to survive.
People whose parents grew up during World War II always had their cupboards and pantries stocked with enough edibles and water to last three to six months, yet today we live in a fast-food society expecting instant fulfillment and put little effort in making contingency plans because we are trapped in our comfort zones. Very few take the time to develop survival skills and have become accustomed to the conveniences that most cannot imagine living without.
The comet (Elenin) will be passing through our solar system in 2011 and several timelines have been laid out. If one were to search the Internet using the keyword "Elenin" the amount of information available would be inexhaustible. Several key dates have been mentioned for this comet or dwarf planet to enter our solar system. Elenin is completely different from Nibiru or Planet X (an alleged twelfth planet) which is twice the size of Jupiter. However, disinformation agents have combined the two and are referring to the object as Elenin/Nibiru/Planet X.
Indeed there will be solar flares that interrupt the earth's magnetic field sometime around December 21, 2012, and NASA, NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration), the Smithsonian Institution, the United States Air Force, a number of major universities, and advanced technology corporations gave evidence that a contemporary Carrington-scale event would lead to deep and widespread social disruption. Nobody knows how widespread the disruption will be.

As to why the U.S. government continues to build these underground bunkers including the city underneath Denver airport, only the well-connected who will be the beneficiaries, might be able to answer that question.
