Smoke screen. No widespread panic means the chosen elite who own the government can stockpile goods and quietly build a spaceship to flee the planet while we get wiped out watching A Charlie Brown Christmas.

"We've been pushing this Mayan thing for a few years, and it runs out in 2012. Looks like nothing is going to happen, so let's JR this er back to life"

David Stuart is a respected Maya archaeologist at UT.

UT is one of the top (if not, the top) ins ution for Mayan studies. LoL History Channel. UT Maya profs have repeatedly denied requests to be on its re ed end of the world shows. This discovery slaps it some more!
