Camping’s Last Hurrah
OAKLAND, California-
Many of you out there probably have no idea why I’m giving the “failed” Harold Camping any more face-time, considering how much fun StrangeRush.com has already had with him this year. Well, the answer is simple and may surprise you. Yesterday, October 21, 2011 was his ultimate final day of destruction for the Earth and entire Universe.
Unlike his well publicized May 21, 2011 Judgment Day prediction, that came and went with no action, yesterday’s most recent failed prediction came and went seemingly without any media coverage at all. Like he has always done, Camping did his best to pull the wool over his devout followers eye’s in the days following the much anticipated Judgment Day in May, explaining that Judgment DID occur, but it was not a ‘physical’ Judgment, rather an ‘invisible’ one. As ridiculous as it was at the time, it’s the way Camping has always attempted to brain-wash the masses and actually found success misleading so many. I have covered Camping and his insane deceptions in four prior posts (see below) but have no intention of getting so in depth again. With any luck this will be the last time you will ever read about the delusional Harold Camping again on StrangeRush.com (but only time will tell).
About three weeks after his failed May 21st prediction earlier this year, Camping reportedly suffered a mild stroke that knocked him off his Family Radio show that he had been personally broadcasting for over 50 years, to millions of misguided souls. Although, I have no doubt that 90-year-old Camping did have a stroke and was unable to continue preaching his garbage, I also believe the timeliness of the stroke allowed Camping to bow out gracefully from the limelight, in the likely event his final doomsday prophecy of October, 21st would come and go as uneventfully as May 21st had. It is widely believed that over the years Camping has wrongly predicted an exact ‘End of Times’ date three separate times, however, according to one Family Radio employee: Camping has actually incorrectly predicted the end at least 10 times, most of which were never released to the public.
It is well known that many of Camping’s followers finally abandoned him in May when Judgment Day did not occur, but there were some who decided to once again ignore the obvious and remain naive, while they stood by their prophet. For any of you out there who are those who actually believed Camping again and waited for the destruction of the Earth yesterday, it’s really time you get your heads out of your asses and move on. Although Camping claims he has never taken a penny in pay from his ministry and radio work, it is reported he currently has a cool $70,000,000 in the bank. If you were, or God forbid still ARE, one of Camping’s followers, how much of your hard earned money is lost somewhere in that $70 million bank account, that you’ll never see again?
The moral of the story: Harold Camping’s brain has been camping for about 90 years. Let’s hope we never hear his voice again on any radio or TV show (although, I have to admit I do find a sick amusement in it and may even miss him a little). May he live his last few months to years in solitude, finally feeling guilty for all the money he has bilked from so many over the years.
