2012 Survival Guide: Will You Be Ready? Reviews

  • ISBN13: 9781453860175

Are you wondering what all the apprehension over 2012 is about? Find out from Researcher Crystal Abrahams: “Do I, personally, believe the world will end in 2012? The arguments are compelling, but no, I don’t. I do predict our weather will get progressively worse, with Superstorms involving blizzards, flooding, high winds and extremes of temperature. “Experts agree that 2012 will be a cosmically significant year. NASA predicts, ‘the 24th sunspot cycle is going to be the most intense in recorded history, 30%-50% stronger than we’ve ever seen.’ Unfortunately, our magnetic field is also at its weakest point in our orbit, itself a regular cyclical event. “Several cyclical events will occur in 2012 that by themselves might not be catastrophic. The Sun will be lining up with the black hole in the galactic center of the plane of the Milky Way, which only occurs every 26,000 years. In addition, Earth will be passing from below the galactic plane to above it. “The weakness in our magnetic shield means the pull of the Sun is stronger, so experts predict more and worse earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. The concern is over the domino effect of all of these solar, seismic and cyclical events, converging in the same year. “In this 2012 Survival Guide, I have tried to envision every set of circumstances we may all find it necessary to deal with. There are chapters with advice as to financial preparations, equipment you’ll need, skills you should plan to acquire, medical supplies, and many other items that may not have occurred to us. “The Survival Tips are a compilation of more than fifty sources. It is the most comprehensive Preparedness Guide you’ll need. If you have a plan, are able to evacuate if necessary without incident and begin the new age comfortably, you will be congratulating yourself on your good sense. “Why take the chance? Will you be ready?”
