What has this to do with the supposed Apocalypse? "Hindus believe that the Lord Kalki will be the supreme chastiser of the irreligious. He is associated with eight mystic opulences, and eight special qualities of Godhead. The Bhagavata Purana states that at the time of the coming of the Lord Kalki, the rulers of the earth will have degenerated into plunderers." ( source) Put in another way, I don't believe any medical regulatory agency, not just the General Medical Council, has any power or authority over the future Lord Kalki, and what he regulates. Perhaps part of the reason for the prophecy above can be actually explained with the philosophical coherence of the Lord Kalki/Kalki Avatara [aka Jesus, the Messiah, the Imam Mahdi (or son of Mary), the Maitreya Buddha, the Saoshyant, the Baha'u'llah, the True Man, or Pahana]: "In A.D. 622, Muhammad declared religious freedom in the Constitution of Medina. In the Constitution of Medina, also known as the Charter of Medina, non-Muslims included in the ummah had equal political and cultural rights as Muslims, and also had autonomy and freedom of religion. In fact, Muhammad decreed that non-Muslims would not be even obliged to take part in the religious wars of the Muslims. It seems that Muhammad was even more progressive than the current leadership in Saudi Arabia, and clearly did not see religious diversity as some kind of pestilence to be debilitated! "Was Muhammad wrong in these beliefs? Well, I'm sure at least true Muslims would beg to differ on that account, but how can even I, a non-Muslim, reach a different conclusion, in light of words in the Qur'an such as, “Truth stands out clear from Error”? I know for a fact that religious tolerance, even religious liberty is far more desirable, so will I say that Muhammad was not right simply because he wasn't an Italian-American prophet? Of course not! Whether Muhammad was right or wrong has nothing to do with his nationality, his race, or even his religion. He, like many great human beings throughout history, was simply perceiving truth like the majority of humans can perceive the rays of the sun. "As Jesus once put it, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16, New International Version). Can we thus truly hide the truth, good deeds, or virtue? Impossible!" ( source)

What's Lord Kalki's address? I have a chain letter that I need to pass on to him and 4 other deities in the next 24 hours or else something TERRIBLE will happen to me.
Brandine Pumpernickel of Lumbago, Misssissippi received a similar letter and threw it away... and less than 24 hours later she was mauled to death by a herd of rabid voles.

If I knew Lord Kalki's address, I would be a pretty good prophet myself, because either he himself doesn't know he is the Messiah to come, or if he has some suspicion, he will not be sure until The Big Guy of the Elohim himself adopts him. Also, Lord Kalki doesn't know the day or hour of Judgement, and he admitted so much in the past, but only The Big Guy of the Elohim knows those details. If by any chance you know The Big Guy, put in a good word for this man who genuinely fears God, although he knows of his almost infinite patience and magnanimity.

While I must admit I have no idea what this discussion is about, or what the response had to do with George's question regarding the Apocalypse (maybe that's just me); however, I would have to say that it is clear that the end is indeed quickly approaching and people in every field seem to know that.
Whether you look at it from the point of view of The Book of Revelation or whether you simply look at the current state of affairs. The planet is approaching (if not already passed) its carrying capacity, a world water crisis is well under way, sea temperatures are rising, GMO's are destroying crops (and everyone's health along with it), our fish, and rivers, and lakes are filled with deadly mercury and other toxins, etc. etc. And from an economic and political standpoint the world is in turmoil. The US is destined to crash and burn, North Korea is on the verge of nuking everyone from China to the US, the EU is headed for civil war, and I will not even mention the middle east. One way or another, we are on the fast track to annihilation. If things do not change, and change dramatically, the fact that we are on the final countdown will be quite undeniable.
As a micronation, at least for Zandrovia, the question becomes how do you survive in the mean time?

Oh, and in regards to the original article. While the law on paper, somewhere, may claim that those in the US have freedom, I think this article shows that the corporate tyranny in which we live proves otherwise.
