A chill swept over the internet last week when scientists announced that there was a huge, unseen planet at the far edge of our solar system – Planet 9.
For decades, conspiracy theorists have predicted that an unseen planet beyond Neptune – called Nibiru or Planet X – is going to destroy Earth.
The announcement from Caltech scientists seemed to confirm there WAS a planet there – and the wilder reaches of the internet have already begun predicting apocalypse.
A message appeared on the website of Zecharia Sitchin – a writer who claimed aliens from Nibiru created the human race – despite the fact Sitchin has been dead since 2010
Pastor Paul Begley – an American preacher fond of predicting apocalypse, thundered, ‘Something is causing the heavens to shake – and it’s in your Bible! If you go into the gospel of Saint Luke, Luke 21, verse 10, “Nation shall rise against nation.Kingdom against kingdom. Great earthquakes shall be in diverse places – and famines and pestilences, and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”’
Begley admits he’s not certain Planet 9 IS Nibiru – but cheerfully predicts an asteroid strike wiping out a third of Earth’s population, followed by an impact with the planet itself.
But in case you’re worried, you should note that Nibiru (or Planet X) was widely predicted to hit our planet in December last year, and before that in September.
Prior to that, it was predicted to smash into our planet to coincide with the Mayan apocalypse in 2012 – and before that, Nancy Lieder, an American website writer who claimed to have an alien implant in her brain, predicted it would destroy the world in 2003.
NASA has thoroughly debunked the Nibiru myth via its Beyond 2012 page, saying, ‘Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye.’
Soviet-born American writer Zecharia Sitchin first wrote about Nibiru in his hit 1976 book ‘The 12th Planet’ where he claimed it was inhabited by a race of ‘ancient aliens’ – the Annunaki – who had created the human race.
