From George Ure's UrbanSurvival.com this Tuesday Morning:
At the macro level, there's a serious problem in the data from Cliff that's got me nervous, clock watching, and not at all pleased: The event(stream) that people associate with December 2012 may not take that long to get here. Could be coming along in October of 2011...and impacting over a 1-3 week kind of timeline, then bouncing along in bumps (with kind of flat plateaus to them) at a lot level until spring'ish of 2012 and then the data pretty much disappears for a year before trickling back online but at much reduced levels 2013-2014.
This is not to be confused with packets of data. There's no way to sense that. People (esp. with monkey mind active) want to assign hard numeric values, but that's not how 'squishy stuff' works. Instead the question is how long after the 'quiet' does language return?
The data has pretty much always had the 'gap' out in this period ahead - from 2000 it looks like a 2012 event and a mid 2013 kind of return. Then in 2007 it looks like the gap was moving bigger as we got closer to it, shaping to before the much ballyhooed December. But the key things is the far side of the gap moved back significantly.
Then in post processing Cliff's been noodling (and understandably pretty depressed about) the 'gap' have moved closer to present (hence Oct 2011) while the far side has moved back even further, 2014-2015.

There's no way to tear the data part for any greater number of clues. Could be any one of a number of suspects that causes what seems like a temporary collapse/decline and then partial recovery of humans. Among the candidates are pole shift/axis shift (5-20ยบ will ruin your day), could be the Middle East finally lets loose and we have a global nuclear free-for-all, or it could be that's when the food shortages kick in. Maybe a genetic war breaks out, or possibly something completely out of left field. Volcanic calderas in Indonesia, New Zealand, and Long Lake/Yellowstone can't be overlooked.
Toss in the linguistics about 1-billion involved in diaspora by year's end in Asia and 220-million in North America and the future doesn't look like a particularly warm &Y inviting place, (and here's the point): no matter how much paper money you have.

A friend of mine called yesterday and asked "What if you guys are wrong?" I told him the odds of that would go up dramatically IF we don't have another 'great quake' before mid September. If we don't get another 'great quake' I'd become downright sanguine about things. But the gnawing in the gut says "No, you'd be a fool to wait since as soon as any triggers happen, if will be too late..."

Even the market structures which would seem like a no-brainer offer little solace. Sure, my little satchel of puts I've been buying would be theoretically worth a ton of dough if the financial system is down for the count by November of this year. But the problem is what? That we won't have organized markets to clear positions; such is the magnitude of change ahead.
"Let me guess: The PTB finally get their Club of Rome goal of 500-million left?" asked my friend.
Can't put a number on it, but the data has enough dead people in it to make Haiti look like a resort within two years.
I'm not easily depressed, and even now I don't sense it. Instead there's a real looming sense of "Lifetime piling up" and "I can hear the people screaming..."

I've asked Cliff six ways to Sunday the BIG question: Can we deconvolute the data to gain any meaningful insight into what it means? Is there any aspect of the language that changes in a meaningful way that could offer insight? Does one language arise? Are certain archetypes changed - like human's relation to weather, water or food? Obvious stuff but no, the web bots don't work that way and to retool them is a monumentally large programming effort - and event then no assurance that the data would mean anything.
So here we sit: Lifetimes piling up. Trying our best to live 'normal' lifetimes' amidst indications in some sketchy software and a half-shake of science that things will be making a violent change within a couple of years.

In terms of 'prep' I have figured out it's the little things that will 'get you' - like my glasses broke this morning. One more thing goes on my list...more glasses. If this morning's report seems a little different, it's because I'm doing some squinty-eyed reading and writing. The Big Stuff is obvious, but how many pairs of glasses or how many back-ups for the contacts - or how much contact clearer to you have stockpiled?
Dug out the spare glasses, but they are bifocal, not tri-focal, so I have my head tilted by to look down the nose at my own work...
Universe has to be laughing, not matter what the 'current plan', there's always something overlooked. Or is this to remind me that bifocals will be all that's needed, since what's in store for us...let's not go there.
