After Aug. 21 eclipse, Earth will be destroyed by rogue planet Nibiru, says iffy doomsayer

Enjoy that Aug. 21 eclipse while you can, because it will be one of the last things you ever see.

That is, if Christian numerologist/doomsayer David Meade is right.

Meade’s theory, presented in his book “Planet X – The 2017 Arrival” and broken down in an interview/feature by the Daily Star, claims Planet X, aka Nibiru, is on a rogue path heading for Earth, and if his calculations are correct, our planet will be destroyed on Sept. 23, 33 days after the eclipse.

Not surprisingly, his predictions aren’t rooted in widely accepted science and are mostly based on numerology and his inferences from biblical passages, particularly those dealing with the number 33.

He notes the name Elohim appears 33 times in Genesis, the moon will be in a “black moon” stage (which occurs every 33 months), the eclipse will first appear in the United States over Oregon, America’s 33rd state, and it will last appear on the 33rd north parallel near Charleston, S.C. What’s more, 99 years ago (3 times 33), a similar total eclipse occurred over America.

That nefarious and elusive planet Nibiru, aka Planet X, has been linked to other apocalyptic projections over the years – with 100 percent inaccuracy. But it’s legend lives on and is pervasive and worrisome enough that NASA senior scientist David Morrison made a video debunking the existence of Nibiru.

“There’s no credible evidence whatever for the existence of Nibiru,” says a blunt Morrison in the video. “It doesn’t take an astronomer to see there’s no Nibiru” he says later before concluding, “Please, get over it. Nibiru isn’t real … We don’t have to worry about this hoax.”

Of course, those are exactly the kinds of words that conspiracy theorists dismiss out of hand, especially if they're coming from a scientist.

Meanwhile, the Daily Star lists other doomsayers who are in a similar orbit with Meade’s theory about the imminent arrival of the End Times.

The good news about the Sept. 23 apocalypse is that the devastation from Nibiru will be so complete on Earth that there’s nothing anyone, not even survivalists, can do to save themselves. So there’s no need to stress over preparations.

The better news about the Sept. 23 apocalypse is that it won’t happen.
