Unprecedented and unacceptable. Science is threatening my paradise of constant paranoia by suggesting that the ancient Mayan culture did not correctly predict the end of the world in the year 2012. Suck it science.
Water Wars Documentary Last Call at the Oasis... →
Destabilizing futurism set to a pulse-pounding score isn’t just for sci-fi and fantasy thrillers. It works just as well to sell documentaries like Last Call at the Oasis, which thirstily peers into our present and future water wars, as can be seen in the film’s trailer above.
Unlike the comic-book vision of global annihilation in The Avengers, the blockbuster whose record-setting opening drowned...

Wow! Really?
The folks at Survival blog never cease to amaze me with the twists and turns that their willing to let their collective delusion take them. To me, It makes sense that the survival-set would be very concerned with the intricacies of starting a fire in the post-collapse era or the best ways to protect their life saving cache of seeds, but today, I see that there are much more serious matters to...

The European Elephant In The Room
It could easily force the United States back into recession and become the issue on which the 2012 elections turn. But the national political press has all but ignored it, and none of the GOP’s Presidential hopefuls have been asked about it in any of their endless series of debates.
The European monetary union is on the verge of collapse. In the wake of 2008’s global financial...

"It Was The Apocalypse. Minus The Zombies"
So the kids at Undead Labs had the great opportunity of becoming temporary residents of the Black Rock Desert, where they participated in Nevada’s gift to the world; Burning Man. It’s there that the team took an apocalyptic eye to the goings on of the, currency averse playafolk, and their contribution to all things endtime-y.
“I did draw some interesting, practical lessons...

A New Meaning For "Riding It Out"
first there was Noah and his Arc filled with pairs of every animal on the earth - sans unicorns. Much later, in the less mythical era, there’s the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, also know as the Doomsday Vault, which is tasked with keeping a ready inventory of all the world’s seeds in case humanity fails at it’s ongoing experiment, hilariously referred to as,...

How To Stop A Zombie Invasion
One day in the not-too-distant future, a mindless horde of cannibalistic killing machines will come shambling through the streets of America. And when that day comes, the U.S. Army will be on it faster than you can scream “BRAAIIIINNSS!”
Lucky for us, the Army Zombie Combat Command has put together a nifty manual on how to identify, fight, and kill those murderous mobs of the undead....

Curator of the Apocalypse: Cultural Entropy
This was coined by a commenter on The Big Picture blog who goes by the name Bergsten. This is what he has to say about cultural entropy:
I’ve concluded that civilization isn’t going to blow up, it’s going to rust. Rust to dust. And it’s stuff like [content farming] that is going to move us one more step to “the end.”
The problem here is that when you’ve starved everyone who actually...

Nativist Fire Burns Brightest
“Who set the fire?” asked Ed Ashurst, an area rancher who is convinced that he knows. “It’s obvious. There’s a few people in America who don’t think man walked on the moon in 1969. To say that illegal aliens didn’t set the fire is like saying that Neil Armstrong didn’t walk on the moon.”
Mr. Ashurst acknowledges that his case is circumstantial. “Did anyone see the aliens drop a match or a...
