- ZetaTalk
ZetaTalk is a
website started in 1995 by self-proclaimedcontactee Nancy Lieder, who claims to channel messages fromextra-terrestrials called Zetas (from theZeta Reticuli star system; seeBetty and Barney Hill ) through an implant in her brain. Lieder states that she was chosen to warn mankind aboutPlanet X , which would sweep through the solar system in May 2003, causing apole shift that would destroy most of humanity. The pole shift would be caused by magnetic attraction between the earth's core and the magnetism of the passing planet. This magnetic disruption of the Earth's core and subsequent displacement of the crust of the Earth is said to correspond with the eventChristian s refer to as the biblicalArmageddon .This
doomsday theory fuses elements from the various "Planet X" hypotheses that have emerged within the last century with the "Earth Chronicles" mythology ofZecharia Sitchin 's "The 12th Planet", in which, according to Sitchin's reading of Sumerian religious texts, a giant planet (Nibiru or Marduk) with a 3600-year orbit occasionally passes by Earth and allows its sentient inhabitants to interact with humanity. Sitchin disagrees with Lieder's claim of impending global catastrophe; in 2007, partly in response to Lieder's claims, he published a book, "The End of Days ", which set the time for the last passing of Nibiru by Earth at roughly 600 BC, which would mean it would be unlikely to return in less than 1000 years.

Lieder's Planet X idea spread beyond her website when
Mark Hazlewood , a former member of the ZetaTalk community, took her claims and published them in a book: "Blindsided: Planet X Passes in 2003". Lieder would later accuse him of being a confidence trickster. [ [http://www.zetatalk.com/index/hazelwod.htm Mark Hazlewood Scam ] ]Lieder predicted that before the pole shift in May 2003 the
Iraq War would eventually end with troops being sent home to join loved ones before the shift occurred. When the May 15 date arrived, there was no pole shift.According to Lieder, the Zetas claim that the May 2003 date was merely a "white lie" to confuse the elites. Lieder insists that the Zetas still maintain that Planet X is coming and that a more specific passage timeline will be forthcoming after Obama takes office. [ [http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message606175/pg1 ] ] Lieder claims that disclosing a date would enable those in power to plan
martial law and attempt to trap people in cities during the shift which would cause their deaths. Ms. Lieder, however, regularly claims through her zetatalk discussions on godlikeproductions.com and other sites that the pole shift will occur before 2012. [ [http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta463.htm ] ]Lieder has predicted catastrophic earth changes which will increase exponentially until the passage of Planet X, and has urged people to "be prepared". Hazlewood also still maintains that Planet X is due, and published a new book, "Delicate Earth", in 2006. [ [http://www.planetxinbound.com/ Planet X Inbound Delicate Earth History Science ] ]
2012
Many internet sites still claim that "Planet X," usually identified as Nibiru, is on its orbit near earth, which will in turn have dramatic effects on earths weather patterns, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and sea levels. The date most often cited is
2012 , which is the end of the current cycle (baktun ) in the long count in theMayan calendar . In 2003, Turkish writerBurak Eldem published the book , which purported to forecast the return of Planet X in that year. Marshall Masters, publisher of the website yowusa.com, has published many works prophesying the end of the world in 2012 following an encounter with Planet X, including a novel ("Godschild Covenant") and a "Planet X Forecast and 2012 Survival Guide".
