Beginning of the end??

Right, what is the deal with the world these days...if the world is to end in 2012...is this the beginning of the end?


The middle east...start with Tunisia. Tunisian people where not happy with their government and began their purge of Zine El-Abdine Ben Ali. Ok, so Egypt got wind of what was happening and so they began the same against their government and preceded to oust their president, Hosni Mubarak. This lead to an Egyptian revolution, beginning on 25 Jan. There were over 600 deaths and 6,000 injured, along with damage to amazing historical artifacts in the Egyptian Museum and much of Egypt's history in general. There is still some unrest now, but Mubarak is out and some order has been restored. Now, hey hey, we have a Lybian uprising against Lybian leader Muammar Gaddafi...notice all these countries are 'neighbors'... which is still going on... but hey, the state of the human rights in Tunisia and Egypt may be somewhat better than before, giving many of the people a bit of what they wanted. So, are these the revolts and uprising leading to the end of the world in 2012? Or are they just contributing?


What about the 'natural disasters?' Ok, so they may not be all 'natural' as it is mans influence that leads to them, but how much has happened this year...and we are only in March! First Jan was the month of floods! Queensland Australia was flooded, Brazil flooded, South Africa flooded, and Sri Lanka flooded...Then, Feb. Queensland Australia again. They had to prepare themselves for the category 5 hurricane Yasi, just after being flooded! Oh, and more floods hit Sri Lanka. So, then, at the end of Feb, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake devastated Christchurch, NZ causing widespread damage! So, so far whats that? 3 uprisings, 5 floods, a hurricane and an earthquake...in the space of 2 months...but the worst is yet to come.

Japan. 18 March. A 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit, causing a tsunami with waves 10m high, travelling 6 miles inland and wiping out small towns and cities such as Sendai, Fukushima and Minamisanriku. It also caused problems for Japans nuclear power plants in Fukushima, leading to explosions and exposure to radiation for many people when 2 of the reactors went into meltdown. They now have another on the way, but are trying to cool it with sea water. If this explodes, giving off more radiation, the extent my not be as bad as Chernobyl as processes had shut down, but would be (I reckon) significantly worse than the Three Mile Island accident. 1000's of people have already been killed and 1000s more are missing, so this would be the last thing they would need. For now however, all we can do is hope that the brave plant workers are able to cool the reactor down and make it safer...






So, thats my view on what has been happening, all of a sudden, in the world. All the 'incidents' seem to be making their way around, so will that be it for now, or are there more to come?
