He was extremely serious telling us the world was gonna end in the year 2000. In late 1999 he even said his goodbyes to his readership and went off to prepare. Nothing happened. Twelve years later, the name of his site is no longer "Ascension 2000" and he's still making wrong predictions daily. 2012 is more than half over and NOTHING IS HAPPENING.
His dreams are not revealing anything. They are just dreams like all of us have. David's dreams have no bearing on the state of the world -- delusions of grandeur much?
Wow - move on, man! You are living in the past!
I never really followed David before some point in 2011. All of this 'drama' that you and other boo-birds constantly refer to is something that I have no idea about; I wasn't in the community back then, and I understand the thrust of your critique towards him.
Personally, I haven't seen David make any predictions that weren't heavily predicated with caveats about sources possibly being wrong or happenstance getting in the way. He has passed on information from some of his sources as far as specific dates (which I don't blame him for), and he has shared some of his dreams and what he felt was to be interpreted by them. I'm okay with that; as much as there is going to be some ego play involved, we're 3D beings on a 3D planet. Why wouldn't we have some ego tied in at times? I'm willing to deal with a little of his ego to hear what he has to say.
I have also seen David become more humble because of his mis-steps in the past. I think that is a very respectable thing, as it shows both humility and self-awareness. Imagine David is on much of a path as you or I are; none of us do this thing perfectly, man.
As far as the 2000 thing goes, again, it's in the past. I'm going to assume that was a major piece of catalyst for David, and I hope that he was able to learn many lessons from in the 12 years since it happened. I think we need to forgive at some point, don't you???
As far as 2012 goes, I would hardly say that NOTHING has happened, especially when you consider it next to last year (2011). Last year we had Arab Spring raging, the Fukushima disaster, volatile markets - generally a s*** mix of chaos. This year, we have Obama officially ending the war in Iraq, we've seen an almost-WW3 situation pretty much defused between Iran & the US, strong consumer social bills are being upheld in courts, Bankers are appearing before congress and implicating themselves with ignorance... 2012 has been LARGELY more positive than 2011.
Now let's take it a little deeper on the horizon... LIBOR looks like it could be the greatest crime in history as it may have been manipulated for nearly 20 years and is tied to over $800 Trillion (with a T) in financial instruments. It is the heaviest interest rate marker in the financial world, and it's been rigged for a very long time. All consumber debt is tied to LIBOR as the primary interest rate marker... so where can this possibly lead if the Fed is proven to have fraudulently altered this number for a very long time? debt forgiveness maybe? So we can add that to the 'interesting things' that have happened so far - the largest financial fraud in history. No big deal tho, right?
There is a LOT of news out there that you will never read or see in your local paper or television. That's just how it is. 2012 has a lot of time still left to heat up. I have not given up on my anticipation quite yet.
