Truth is arbitary really. Forget science, forget logic and common sense! There is an [organization](http://www.zetatalk.com), rather large now a days, that has all the answers. You see- they are in contact with a superior race, and that race has a message. The world will end in 2003, May 15th actually. There is [evidence](http://www.zetatalk.com/usenet/use90446.htm) that a huge planet is heading our way. A big ol magnet that will shift our poles. On an interview on the local radio (Kansas City), the spokeswoman said that it is currently causing earthquakes, trains to derail, terrorists to want to blow up things among others. (ok, I made up the last part) This is it folks. The Bush admin, according to the Zeta folk, will take over the world and it won’t be a democracy. You see, this is the reason behind the whole Iraq debacle. Bush wants the oil so when the catastrophe is over, him and his people can take over the world much easier. All that won’t matter because most of you will be dead anyhow. Unless you flee the cities now! Pack your bags and head to high and stable ground. The whole world will shudder with a rickter 9 earthquake as the poles shift and the crust is shoved around. It is said Bush plans on blowing up the Planet, also knows as Planet X, but Zeta people know differently. You see- the planet is Inhabited and the Zeta Galactic police will not allow the Earth to nuke it into pieces. (as we all know from our movies, just sending a nuke to its core will destroy it) Drink your Koolaid… err, wrong group- Pack your bags and head out of the cities and pray up to the Zeta’s. Don’t worship the false Raelians- All Zeta followers that channel know by the messages that they are the only real alien group out there. The rest follow false aliens. Heathens. ---

I love their 12th planet section - good even by the high standards of that myth’s usual nonsense: > [@](#): > > let us explain. The Earth was cold as the Sun had not yet lit. All this is a matter of astrophysics, and not relevant to the discussion at hand. The 12th Planet, or giant comet, assumed its orbit around the Sun due to gravitational and motion issues, which were at play coming out of what some Earthlings refer to as the big bang. This was in fact only a little bang, a local affair, however. I hope you all followed that. ---

They drown us in end of the world catastrophies that never quite pan out untill the real one comes and we just disbelieve out of habit. That and mind control. Definately mind control, yeah.

Oh boy. > [@](#): > > Beyond aftershocks, there is the effect of what is termed Near Earth Asteroids, dragged into the vicinity of Earth by a close passage of Planet X, where they follow the planet as it comes through the Asteroid Belt and then get pulled into some sort of orbit that includes Earth. That Planet X sure gets around. Now it cruises through the Asteroid Belt on occasion. ---

The Zetans are a common feature on the newsgroup sci.astro. Let’s just say it looks ike they will be taking a ride on a comet via applesauce the way they’re talking. ---
