“As a place to start, let us use a model to explain precisely
what this ‘Great Year’ actually is. The year 2012 is the year
that marked the end of a 26,000-year cycle, ending in a

solstice (December 21st) of 2012. But what exactly is this
galactic alignment?”

He was good at describing this to people, …the blazing furnace, the place of wailing and grinding of teeth.”

“When you’re in The System, like after being arrested, you’re no longer a participant. You’re being processed. Instead of an easy to ignore, well-greased cog, you become a sharp edge that needs to be ground down.”
