Fear mongering based on confirmation bias and pseudoscience. It's the ol' apocalypse meme to get people to follow a certain way, religion or pop psychobabble mysticism. I watched as much as I could tolerate (~10 minutes).

You can read the transcript, that takes you about 10 minutes.
But you have to admit, a lot of what they are saying seems to be coming true, and they are not talking about the apocalypse, but some great human shift. |

Exactly which predictions have come true? The video listed mundane events that happen all the time throughout history, and subjective claims of mystical vibration increases.
The "apocalypse meme" refers to general apocalyptic thinking, not just The Apocalypse (capital "A"). That is, it's the old "great changes are coming, and woe be those not 'in the know'."
"For three thousand years, apocalypse prophecies have convinced people all over the world that the future is about to give them the world they want instead of the world they got."
--John Michael Greer, author of Apocalypse Not

I thought it was a horrible plot device used in the movie Highlander II. |

No, I need admit no such thing. They are speaking nonsense. |

| What about the Hopi prophecy, do the Hopi really think that. That either on October 28th or later the world will be purified and becuase me and you are not spiritual enough, we will be wiped out? |

Hopi spiritualists who "really think that" are no less nutty than end-of-times Christians. |

Strange.....just last night a jar of holy Ragu spaghetti sauce in my fridge was telling me the same thing. |
"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."
"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"

(emphasis above mine)
...or later... is the operative words. Way to save your ass and remain believable when nothing happens on 28th. It's the way out for the true believers, because they can now weasel their way out without having to admit THEY WERE WRONG.
Flanagan, you seriously need to get psychiatric help! You've lost your connection to reality, and for your own sake, it will need to be re-established.

Is a major event going to happen on 28th October?
