Acharyaji and Ramanaji,
Looked at this thread out of curiosity. Never thought of this before sriously. But the SF angle is plausible. SF based camapigns could be targeted at younger netintelligentsia. But are they not more likely to be trawling through literarure and finding and promoting the ones more suitable for their agenda? A bit unconvinced about non-physics/astrophysics claims of 2012.
But would be interested in checking out predictions for India proper. Have not seen many in this thread. Looked quickly for links on web. But India does not appear much. Empirically interested in cycles of political importance for India. Also why this fascination with Jupiter about all these predictions? In one link I read just now which has the most about India, I think Nostradamus is interpreted as indicating that the endtime "AC" could be an Indian because of the Jupiter connection. But is Jupiter really that important in the Hindu pantheon and has such direct "violent" connotations? He is more supposed to be a "guru" figure rather than direct-action AC! In fact the reason behind my adopting it as forum names was because I thought it was innocuous and reflected in a twisted way my real-life profession as "deva"-guru as well as my birthday. <!--emo&

Theoretically speaking, as far as I know both in the East and the West, Jupiter is supposed to be benign. Why associate such an entity with the type of ruthlessness and violence being talked about around apocalyptic scenarios around 2012? I have not studied astrology at all, so is there some other significance that I am not aware of, but meaningful to general readers both in the East as well as the west?
