Only thing I see for 2012 is a crumbled US world economy.
more like this.
And I don't take the whole maya thing seriously either, but
dayum the world economy is a mess at the moment, no denying that.
Also, the islamic spring has another unofficial name within the security communities, dating back to the mid '90s when the internet genie was out of the bottle; Domino day. They just didn't realize at the time that it would take facebook and twitter for domino day to occur, not just the internet.. and fyi, according to all the models, the US isn't the last domino to fall.
we be living in interesting times, and they're gonna get more interesting, I'm afraid.
