Keep seeing commercials for this organization all over the TV now, saw several of them last night on CNN.


What do we know about this group?

Their motto is "Preparing the world for 2012."

Ah, I see now, I figured they had to have some money because they have been running a lot of TV commercials lately so whoever was behind them had to have some cash to pay for all that airtime. So it is just a fake organization from the film. Funny thing is the TV commercials make it seem real, doesnt mention the film at all.

The theme didn't come from nowhere. I suspect weekend planet-saving fantasies reduce Mondayitis, sadly.

This is the largest, heaviest financed experiment in public panic since the Rockefellers were sponsoring Orson Welles radio broadcasts. Very interested to watch this play out.

BTW, I work in hip hop pretty much full time and it's startling how few people have the sense to realize this shit was even fake. Most of the response I get is that I'm full of shit, so unless I have a computer handy to prove it to them, they walk away still believing this and talking about it to others.

ARG: Institute for Human Continuity

Watching the ARGonauts Play

<snip>

“Institute for Human Continuity” has a website that looks very professional and purports to be a group whose efforts are to make certain that humanity continues no matter what disasters and crises the universe might throw at us. It especially focuses on the growing myths surrounding the year 2012 as the end of the world. In fact this ARG is marketing for the new movie 2012. You can see the trailer at WhoWillSurvive2012.com and below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VXa82AuwHU

On one of the games’ other websites, This Is The End, (a less sophisticated looking site) you can watch rough vignettes featuring Woody Harrelson as “Charlie Frost” pontificating on the year 2012 and Terence McKenna, among other possible world changing events. Apparently, Harrelson has a starring role in this new film by Roland Emmerich.
