Graham Hancock has exciting news. His “author of the month” for September will be Patrick Geryl, who believes that the apocalypse supposedly prophesied by the Mayans in 2012 will indeed engulf us all. Here’s Patrick:
In How to survive 2012? I reveal the immense cataclysm that is going to torment the earth in the near future. It is presently assumed by most people and the general scientific world at large, that the rotation of the Earth is stable, however, as expounded in my previous works on this subject, this is not the case. The gruesome reports of the previous catastrophes should, hopefully, be clear to all.
The historical exploration of cosmology in previous books is founded on the translation of hieroglyphs, cracking of codes, unveiling of the magnetic reversal of the sun, study of old maps, decoding of astronomical clues, geological research, and the discovery of the most exciting archaeological find in modern times.
Considering these I came to the following conclusions:
With clock-like regularity, sudden reversals and pole shifts are natural to the Earth. The result is worldwide destruction, and is supported by paleo-magnetic evidence and early manuscripts.
The reversal of the poles is attributed to the harmonic cycle of the magnetic fields of the sun.
Polar reversals can be calculated precisely on the basis of the sunspot cycle theory or the magnetic field theory, which the Maya and the Old Egyptians were privy to. These secrets were contained in the Labyrinth of Hawara, a huge complex consisting of three thousand rooms.
Sunspots, Mayans and Egyptians in one sentence: not bad going, Patrick. But you’ve left out the Illuminati…

Shhh. The illuminati swore him to silence. Where else do you think he could have found such esoteric knowledge?
We asked him to stop mentioning us. Frankly, we’re a bit embarrassed by him.
Aargh!! I clicked on that link and read Patrick Geryl’s manifesto, or whatever it is. You now owe me 10 minutes of my life back. Plus several million brain cells that were leached osmotically into that morass of mind-numbing stupidity, that Slough of Despond devoid of any sense or education!
Dear me, I can prophesy that this will play havoc with the London Olympics.
I came across your site from a character assignation you did on some other “alternative history” book. I am not a fan of such material but I did find your “review” deeply personal and in places highly irrational. It was enough for me to check the personality behind said review and from there I discovered that you write for a religious newspaper - the Catholic something or other. It came as such a surprise to be honest.
You see, I can sympathise with your distaste for the fantasies of many new agers and alternative history types but then you go and spoil it all by having beliefs as equally bizarre.
I mean let us look at the facts. as a theist you believe:
In an invisible fairy king in the sky. There are many such fairy kings quoted in folk myth but for whatever reasons you have chosen your version of said sugar plum fairy at random
This faiey king - as you would expect really - has “magical super powers” and completely circumnavigates the laws of physics at will. Indeed, “he” can do so easily as it seem you believe that he made said laws,
If you wish hard enough (known as prayer) your particular fairy king will grant your wishes - just like in “Aladdin”?.
When you die, you will either - if you have done what your fairy king asks (which includes leaving your friends ass alone)- go to a magical fairy kingdom in the sky. However, if you are bad you will go to another fairy kingdom but one were mythical figures called demons will poke red hot pokers up your dead anus (seems a little extreme to me but what do i know.)
You were born “bad” (sinful) because of some women’s ate a piece of fruit.
Someday, the world will end because a bad fairy called Satan, will father a son that looks human but is really naughty.
However, he will not be successful because your fairy king will send his “son” back to earth flying in the air (like superman perhaps?) to save the day at the last minute. However, things may get a little crowed on earth at this time as everyone who has ever died will be raised from the dead (zombies?) for “final Judgement. One pictures a scene from “Night Of The Living Dead”
Oh, did I mention, that your fairy king and his “church” believes that all homosexuals are “evil (sinful) and will also go to the bad fairy kings place? Or that your fairy king father a son who also had magical powers and could:
Walk on water
Turn water into wine (good party trick that one)
Was born although his mother had never had sex
Bring the dead back to life and indeed managed to bring himself back to life and then fly into the air for the first time to go to the magic fairy kingdom in the sky.
I am completely with you, all those silly new agers and alternative history people and their crazy theories. Its lucky we can rely on “sane”, “rational” “non deluded” people such as yourself.
“character assignation”?
I always feel it speaks volumes of a blogs readership when the only reply to commentary is to point out one of many typos - but what would I know
First, I thought your comment was a rather tedious and overlong anti-religious rant that was quite irrelevant to the post.
Second, using assignation instead of assassination, which I assume is what you meant, is not a typo; it is an error.
“Demons will poke red hot pokers up your dead anus”.
That was a suspiciously detailed line, Bob (and weirdly poetic). You’ve clearly given the procedure some thought. Do I detect a hint of jealousy?
I’m sorry—I thought you were referring to a scene in the movie Hancock—perhaps the DVD version. I didn’t think anyone actually believed this crap—both my kids are mayan, and they’ve got plans for 2013.
so…
all that back and forth and no one discussed 2012? at all?
