Planet X - coming soon ?

Although "Planet X" is hypothetical, there sure are plenty of movies and even an insurance commercial suggesting it's real. (Conditioning to accept a new Planet? or fake one, (hologram))

Example: Car insurance ad. What is that big (red) planet behind earth? This huge planet is moving/rotating very fast, but earth appears perfectly still.

Why bother to animate the giant planet?

(People on the moon shopping for insurance?)





A movie about another (planet) Earth in the sky between our earth and the moon:

Another Earth (2011) Movie Trailer Official HD




Final scene in NBC’s “The event” (A planet is in the sky between Earth and the moon.)



Melancholia (2011)

This is an "art-house" type of movie about an “end of the world” type of event.
In the commercial, they are able to see what appears to be “two different” suns in the sky. The trailer suggests it is a red planet/or star. (planet x again? Two suns?)

Movie trailer:

I can not facepalm hard enough. This is more of the BS from internet, "scholars" that make money off of traffic to their domains. No different from the high school graduate, LSD-filled, keyboard warriors that think they have a better understanding of Mayan culture than the world's top experts and for some reason millions of people believe them. What about all the, "conditioning" for some weather-based catastrophe in 2012? How about all the astroid movies years back? It's not some conditioning conspiracy, it's making movies that feed on whatever illogical fear is popular at the time. You want to talk about conditioning, talk about the fact that we seem to be obsessed with all these illogical fears while the real issues seem to be the least of our worries.

Any so-called evidence for most of these theories are really psychological scotoma, nothing more. Think about it. . . you are searching through insurance ads, sundance independent films, and low budget sci-fi movies and wondering if they're somehow proof of such an event actually occuring. . . yikes.

I agree with what you said about illogical fears. We are always told to be afraid of things that don't exist. Planet X is the "new illogical fear" then.

YIKES!

Food for thought:

Requirements for the title of planet to be applied to a celestial body

1. Is in a defined orbit around a star
2. Sufficient mass to sustain hydrostatic equilibrium
3. Has cleared it's orbit, or neighborhood, of debris and other massive bodies

Ha

I am not buying or selling anything.

I didn't make this commercial or produce these movies.

But I'm sure if any of that was real, we won't find out till it's already here. And even then we would be told that it's just a harmless comet (like harmless Comet Elenin).

Therefore it does not officially exist.

Big problem with Planet X theories, any planet just lumbering into the solar system will get F d up by jupiter's gravity. Jupiter keeps alot of objects from colliding into us.

I'm pretty sure that if a giant planet was hurtling towards us, we would know by now.
