Does anybody else beleive the dreaded ECDT is actually happening. The predicted time for the full mantle to shift is sometime close after 2015. With the shift in the floor of the Red Sea of 26ft (or is it meters) and all the other tsunami causing shifts that are going on it certainly points in that diection. The Three Gorges Dam is not helping at all, it is like putting a lead weight on the one side of a balanced spinning top. Only one thing will happen it will wobble off kilter. Earth crust displacement here we come.

It's a theory that has been around for a while and seems very plausible.

No. I'm not sure what you mean by ECDT, but all the earthquakes, tsunamis, including the 26 m shift (in the African Rift, not the Red Sea) are all due to processes taking place at a variety of depths in or just below the Earth's crust. Not in the Mantle; certainly not in the vast, vast majority of it. All are pretty normal events by earth's standards; some would say even subdued.
As for the dams, these will have a zero effect of the earth's rotation - the size is less than miniscule in comparison to the whole planet.
I think that you (and a number of internet sites I have visited!) confusing this with "polar wandering" or "polar reversal". This is concerned with the magnetic poles, NOT the geographic / rotational ones. Magnetic polar reversal is a certainty, and the process is probably underway already. It has happened many times in geological history (proven by the record of magnetic minerals in rocks). At the precise point of reversal, there will be a short period where there will be no magnetic field. This is our main shield against solar radiation; it's brief absence will play havoc with all things elecronic, including satellites & communications. Best at that point not to go outside and get a suntan! This will for sure have a catastrophic effect on human activities. But it will not involve increased earthquake activity, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and the like.

You would be amazed at how many theories of earth destruction in the 'not too distant future' are all based on ill-educated misunderstandings of crackpot theories.

i don't know if this is the time, i will wait for NASA's report, about the situation...but I do believe that every 15million years, the crust moving so badly... causing earth quakes and volcanic eruptions...
lets wait...

Even though it is a theory,it is quite convincing
