NEW PREDICTION: 10/5/04 -- Guess who? Around April 2005 or September 2005.
Rapper O.D.B. dies at recording studio
NEW YORK (AP) -- The rap artist O.D.B., whose utterly unique rhymes, wild lifestyle and incessant legal troubles made him one of the most vivid characters in hip-hop, collapsed and died inside a recording studio Saturday. He was 35. O.D.B. had complained of chest pains before collapsing at the Manhattan studio, and was dead by the time paramedics arrived, said Gabe Tesoriero, a spokesman for O.D.B.'s record label, Roc-a-Fella. The cause of death was not immediately clear, but O.D.B. had recently finished a prison sentence for drug possession and escaping a rehab clinic. He would have turned 36 on Monday. O.D.B. -- also known as Ol' Dirty Bastard, Dirt McGirt, Big Baby Jesus or his legal name of Russell Jones -- was a founding member of the seminal rap group the Wu-Tang Clan in the early 1990s. With his unorthodox delivery -- alternately slurred, hyper and nonsensical -- O.D.B. stood out even in the nine-man Clan, which featured such future stars as Method Man, RZA and Ghostface Killah. The Wu-Tang blueprint was for each member to pursue solo projects, and O.D.B.'s were among the best. He released hit singles such as "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" and "Got Your Money," and appeared on remixes with artists like Mariah Carey. "There's nobody like him in the game," RZA told The Associated Press in an April interview, when asked if O.D.B. could resume his career after prison. "He's got a lot of problems he's got to iron out, of course, but as far as a one-of-a-kind person, a one-of-a-kind artist, he's one of a generation, one of a lifetime. He's a very rare commodity." But as his fame increased, so did his erratic behavior, and fans came to expect the unexpected from O.D.B. When MTV News followed him around at the height of his popularity, he took the camera crew and several of his kids (he was said to have more than a dozen, by numerous mothers) to the welfare office -- in a limousine -- to get an allotment of food stamps. And he received them. In February 1998, he crashed the stage at the Grammy Awards and hijacked a microphone from singer Shawn Colvin as she accepted an award, apparently upset over losing the best rap album Grammy to P. Diddy (then known as Puff Daddy). He complained that he spent a lot of money for new clothes because he thought he was going to win. The rapper later apologized. Over the years, he was wounded in shootings and arrested on a veritable laundry list of charges, including menacing security officers, illegally possessing body armor, driving with a suspended license, shoplifting and threatening a former girlfriend. In 2000, after escaping a court-ordered stint in a California rehabilitation center, authorities searched for him for a month. He was finally arrested in Philadelphia -- three days after performing in a New York City concert with his Wu-Tang clique. He was sentenced in 2001 to two to four years in prison for drug possession, plus two concurrent years for escaping from the clinic. He was released in 2003 and immediately signed with Roc-a-Fella. He heralded his return with a news conference alongside singer Carey -- pop fans may know him best for his memorable cameo on her hit "Fantasy," featuring rhymes like "me and Mariah, go back like babies with pacifiers." Tesoriero said O.D.B. had been working on his comeback album for more than a year and was almost finished. "Russell inspired all of us with his spirit, wit, and tremendous heart," Roc-A-Fella founder Damon Dash said in a statement. "The world has lost a great talent, but we mourn the loss of our friend." His mother, Cherry Jones, said she received the news of her son's death in a phone call, which she called "every mother's worst dream." "To the public he was known as Old Dirty Bastard, but to me he was known as Rusty. The kindest most generous soul on earth," her statement said. "Russell was more than a rapper, he was a loving father, brother, uncle, and most of all, son." Rapper ODB died of drug overdoseWednesday, 15 December, 2004, 17:31 GMT BBC NEWS US rapper ODB died of a drug overdose last month, the New York City medical examiner's office has said. The 35-year-old, also known as Ol' Dirty Bastard, collapsed and died at a recording studio on 13 November 2004 after complaining of chest pains. He died "as a result of intoxication by the combined effects of cocaine and Tramadol, a prescription painkiller but not a narcotic". "The manner of death is an accident," said spokeswoman Ellen Borakove. ODB, real name Russell Jones, was dead before paramedics could reach him at a Manhattan studio where he was recording last month. A founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan in the early 1990s, ODB's best-known solo track was Got Your Money featuring Kelis. He had been working on a comeback album for more than a year prior to his death. ODB joins a string of rap stars who have met untimely deaths, including Jam Master Jay of Run DMC, who was fatally shot in late 2002, and Notorious BIG and Tupac Shakur who were both shot in the late 1990s. |
COMMENTS (11/15/04): This may be premature with cause of death still unknown, but the suddenness of it and the hints being dropped by the media suggest to me that O.D.B. might have suffered a heart attack brought on by drug abuse. Cocaine can trigger a fatal heart attack in certain unusual cases. In any event, this is close enough for a PREDICTION FULFILLED. I fear this prediction, now fulfilled five months prematurely, could become subject to "prediction overkill" in 2005.
COMMENTS (12/16/04): It's definite. It was a drugs overdose. PREDICTION FULFILLED.

The Tecumseh Curse is Still Active
NEW PREDICTION: 3/3/04 -- The one thing I do know (or believe) is that the Tecumseh Curse is still active. If George W. Bush is re-elected, he will be assassinated in April 2005 or November 2005. If he isn't he will be the first president elected in a year ending in zero (2000 in this case) who did not die from natural causes or assassination (or at least have an attempt on his life like former president Ronald Reagan) by a year ending in 5. No president subject to the Tecumseh Curse ever survived beyond the 5 year.
Those zero-elect presidents who survived the longest were Abraham Lincoln (elected in 1860, re-elected to a second term in 1864, died on April 14, 1865) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (re-elected to a third term in 1940, re-elected to a fourth term in 1944, died April 12, 1945). If this pattern follows suit, George W. Bush may die in office on April 10, 2005! However, if Bush perseveres longer, he may last until the 42nd anniversary of the month and year of John F. Kennedy's assassination: November 2005. I would not necessarily anticipate in that case the day to fall directly on November 22, since no November pattern has been established as there has been in the case of April, and it is even possible it will be a month or two off November either way (thus, September-December 2005).
Now, if John Kerry wins, I fear the Tecumseh Curse will still hold. 2000 was an unusual election year. One could say both Bush and Gore won the election. If it was a democrat who was fated to win, and a republican served in office instead, then the doom that was to fall upon Al Gore may fall on John Kerry in his stead. Note that Kerry's initials are "JFK" and that his appearance is likened to Abraham Lincoln. I fear that if Kerry wins, he will die in office during his first year, again either in April 2005 (again, possibly April 10, 2005) or sometime in or around November 2005.
What this also means is that whoever wins the election, Bush or Kerry, the winner will confirm who actually won the enigmatic 2000 election. If Bush wins, then he was the real winner in 2000. But if Kerry wins, it means Al Gore was the actual winner.
Also, there is a remote chance that candidate John F. Kerry will be assassinated this year, possibly at the democratic convention, before the election. This is due to the Robert F. Kennedy karma associated with the 1968 election -- a karma that may still affect Hillary Clinton as I initially predicted if she should become Kerry's running mate or is drafted to run as president if Kerry is forced to quit due to unexpected health problems or a scandal. The potential vector is June-August 2004.
Can the Tecumseh Curse strike later than 2005? It is remotely possible; but it would be the first time a zero-elect president ever died later than a 5 year. In that case the vectors would be November 2006 and July-September 2007.
The Successor to the Dead President, The Hillary Clinton Factor, Alternative Candidates to John Kerry if He is Unable to Run
Watch who is elected vice president in either case (Bush or Kerry). This person will govern the United States from the death of the president in 2005 until January 2009 (if it is Bush's VP) or from the death of the president in 2005 until January 2013 (if it is Kerry's VP).
Hillary Clinton has an excellent chance of winning in 2008 or 2012, whichever the case may be. But if for any reason she should be drafted to run this year (if a sudden scandal or something health-related happened to Kerry, for example, forcing him not to run), or should she run for vice president as John Kerry's running mate, she will either be assassinated OR brought to ruin and possible imprisonment from a devastating scandal. In the latter event, the "scandal" could very well be Kerry's death under suspicious circumstances (think Vince Foster). In that case, a weak democratic candidate will be placed forward to run in November and will lose the election to Bush. He will be weak only because he will not have the time to prepare, possibly only a month, not because he might not otherwise have been a good candidate.
Will the Tecumseh Curse Meet the Doom Of Mabus?
FROM SECOND HOME
PAGE (4/7/05): Mahmoud Abbas will be visiting George
Bush at a White House summit in May. Two men whose names have
been associated with MABUS.
And Comet Machholz, however weak, was technically naked eye, reaching 3.0 at one point and easily seen by those fortunate enough to be living in dark skies far far away from city light pollution. For these people, the comet looked like a smaller version of the 1996 Hyakutake comet.
So, will the Tecumseh Curse strike Bush during the summit and will Abbas just happen to be close enough in proximity to Bush for him to be a casualty as well? Or will assassins simply be targeting both men?
The timing of this summit is extremely dangerous in my opinion.
The Pope and the President
If he survives April 12-14, President Bush may find himself in positive peril of losing his life approximately four months and twenty-two days after the death of Pope John Paul II: sometime around August 24. Here is why:
Pope John Paul II has died almost exactly 42 (6 x 7) years after the death of Pope John XXIII (d. June 30, 1963) who was also a very popular pope. Now that the most popular pope since John XXIII has died, President George W. Bush will be in extremely grave and mortal danger of death in what is also the 42nd anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination. Therefore this year may be very similar to 1963 when Pope John XXIII and President John F. Kennedy died four months and twenty-two days apart.
Nor was 1963 the last time what happened to a pope was linked with the fate of a president. In March 1981 President Ronald Reagan was attacked by would-be assassin John Hinckley Jr. and seriously wounded. He survived. A few months later, in May 1981, Pope John Paul II was also attacked by a Turkish gunman named Mehmet Ali Agca and seriously injured. He too survived.
That's twice in 42 years this has happened and what is the saying about things happening in threes? If there is to be a third time around, it will likely be this year which has a direct base 7 link to 1963.
The Ghosts of Kennedy and Long
Finally, if Bush survives April 12-14 (or let us simply say April), and survives August 24 (or let us simply say August) this is a base 7 anniversary year of John F. Kennedy's assassination, 42 years ago on November 22, 1963. This leaves open the possibility that Bush could set a new record for a "5" year, dying sometime around November 2005.
Also, we have already witnessed an event repeat itself from 1935 - seventy years ago: the suicide of top South Korean actress Lee Eun-ju, age 25, was a close repetition of the suicide of legendary Chinese actress Ruan Ling-yu, also age 25 - and only a month apart (February vs March). Will other events from 1935 also repeat? The most tragic assassination in 20th Century US history of a political leader other than the president, besides that of Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, was that of Louisiana Governor Huey P. Long - in 1935.
On Sunday, September 8,
1935, Huey Long went to the state capitol building in
Baton Rouge. He had called a special meeting of the state
legislature. One of the many things on the evening's agenda was a
bill to rearrange the boundaries of the district of one of Long's
political enemies, Judge Benjamin Pavy.
Walking down the corridor of the Capitol Building, Long was shot by Pavy's son-in-law, Dr. Carl Weiss, a physician practising in Baton Rouge. Weiss shot Long at close range in the abdomen. Long cried out and then stumbled down the corridor. Weiss was immediately shot and killed by Long's bodyguards. Jimmie O'Connor, an associate, found the senator in an isolated stairwell. He was rushed to Our Lady of the Lake Sanitarium where he died two days later.
He died at 4:06 a.m., on September 10, 1935.
The 1930s was not a zero-year decade for a Tecumseh Curse presidential assassination, yet 1935 -- seventy years ago -- was a year that would mark the worst political assassination in America since William McKinley was shot dead in Buffalo, NY in 1901 and almost exactly 28 (4 x 7) years before John F. Kennedy would be fatally wounded by an assassin's bullet in Dallas, TX in 1963.
We have seen one event from 1935 repeat. What of Long's assassination? Will September 2005 mark the vector for the final victim of the Shawnee Curse, President George W. Bush?
If we do some further research, we discover that the seventy year parallels continue to hold up. On September 18, 1931, the powerful Japanese military began an invasion of the region known as Manchuria, an area belonging to mainland China. Many historians consider that to be the true start of the Second World War. If we check events almost exactly seventy years later, we arrive at September 11, 2001. Is there really any doubt that the events of that day in New York City and Washington DC marked the true beginning of World War 3?
But, of course, as we can see, this entire year of 2005 is potentially perilous to President Bush since the calculated base 7 month vectors are only accurate part of the time anyway. So any month and day is potentially perilous this year from a base 7 perspective.
Grenade near Bush 'was live'
(CNN) -- A hand grenade found in the crowd as U.S. President George W. Bush spoke in Tblisi, Georgia last week was live and could have exploded, Georgian officials and an FBI agent have said. In the hours after the incident, Georgia officials insisted the device was an inert, Soviet-era training grenade that posed no threat to Bush or his audience. But on Wednesday, a spokesman for Georgia's Interior Ministry and a statement from the embassy attributed to FBI Agent Bryan Paarmann contradicted the original assessment. They also confirmed the grenade was tossed into the crowd, contradicting last week's statement that it was placed there and not thrown. "A hand grenade was tossed in the general direction of the main stage and landed within 100 feet of the podium," Paarmann said in the statement on the U.S. Embassy's Web site. "From initial qualified inspection, this hand grenade appears to be a live device that simply failed to function due to a light strike on the blasting cap induced by a slow deployment of the spoon activation device," Paarmann added in the statement. In Washington, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush was fully briefed on the situation Tuesday evening and again Wednesday morning, the latter time by FBI Director Robert Mueller and Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff. The device was inspected by Georgian and American experts, who will complete a report on the incident, the statement said. The grenade was wrapped in a "dark tartan-colored cloth," the embassy statement revealed. "We consider this act to be a threat against the health and welfare of both the president of the United States and the president of Georgia as well as the multitude of Georgian people that had turned out at the event," the statement added. Tens of thousands of people crowded into Tbilisi's main plaza -- Freedom Square -- to hear Bush on May 10. Parts of the stage on which he appeared were surrounded by bulletproof glass. Several CNN staff at the event witnessed no disturbance in the crowd ... Suspect: Grenade Shrapnel Meant For BushFOXNews.com Saturday, July 23, 2005 TBILISI, Georgia — A man who confessed to throwing a live grenade toward President Bush during a rally in Georgia intended its shrapnel to hit the area where the president and others were standing, the suspect said in video footage broadcast Saturday. "I threw the grenade, not directly at where there was bulletproof glass, but toward the heads ... so that the shrapnel would fly behind the bulletproof glass, you understand?" Vladimir Arutyunian said. Bush and Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili were on a podium protected with bulletproof glass at a massive rally in Tbilisi in May when the grenade was thrown and landed about 100 feet away. It did not explode and investigators later said its activation device apparently had malfunctioned. The footage showing Arutyunian, who was arrested Wednesday after a shootout that left one policeman dead, was broadcast by Georgia's Rustavi-2 television. The station said it had been provided by the Interior Ministry. Arutyunian, 27, has been charged with murder in the policeman's death, but no charges have been filed in connection with the May grenade incident, to which he previously confessed. Arutyunian was wounded during the shootout and has been in a hospital since his arrest. Investigators were still searching for a motive in the case. The Interior Ministry said Friday that Arutyunian was believed to have been a member of the Agordzineba party, which supported the leader of a region largely outside central government control. Aslan Abashidze, leader of the Adzharia region, fled to Russia last year amid rising street protests against his authoritarian rule. The unrest erupted after Abashidze destroyed bridges linking Adzharia with the rest of Georgia and claimed that Saakashvili was preparing a military invasion. MORE NEWS: |
COMMENTS (5/18/05): I am stunned by today's revelation. This was not a threat, a plan, or a prank. It was an assassination attempt. The live grenade tossed at Bush that didn't go off for some reason was just as much an assassination attempt as if a man shot a gun at him and missed. This was the first active assassination attempt on a US president since the shooting of Ronald Reagan in March 1981. The difference, of course, being that Bush was not injured. This incident also occurred close (off by one month) to the April 2005 vector I specified. I have no choice but to consider this a CLOSE PREDICTION since a serious assassination attempt qualifies it as such. This does not mean that the danger is over, however. This could well be a warning that further attempts will be made this year and eventually succeed ... possibly when Mahmoud Abbas visits Bush later this month or not until as late as August 24 or November 22, 2005. Time will tell, but this grenade attack proves I was right about the danger of death, especially by assassination, presented for the president this year.

NEW PREDICTION: 3/1/05 -- After the trauma of the Columbia Disaster on February 1, 2003, it would probably seem like lightning striking twice if yet another disaster occurs on the first shuttle mission since the horrible tragedy of over two years ago. Yet, that is the danger awaiting the seven-man crew of Discovery after their mission begins on May 15, 2005. The vector for a deadly mishap is April/May 2005 - which places the upcoming May-July mission in positive peril.
This time it will be a disaster in space itself -- an explosion in space. And I have witnessed it.
What I am about to relate is a dream I had on January 28, 1981. Normally I place such dreams on individual dream windows, but this time I feel I must post it directly to the prediction with such little time remaining.
I have dreamt of this space accident several times and for the first time, as I said, way back in 1981. This will be an explosion caused by an accident while the crew is working on a space station. The space station in this case must be the ISS. Part of the station is damaged as is the shuttle - most of the crew is killed.
I was right there in the dream, trying to hold on to the shuttle which was then on fire. I could see fire on the space station too. We were outside in our space suits - I seemed to know everyone else. We were all drifting backwards towards earth. I can still see it. We became terrified because we knew there was no place for us to go. I woke up long before we entered earth's upper atmosphere to die a fiery death.
That's it. What the
technical cause will be for this happening I have no idea.
Also, the face of the mission commander, Eilleen Collins, looks terribly familiar. Even the name sounds familiar. She looks like one of the people I was next to in the dream as we fell back to earth, vainly trying to hold on to the useless, burning shuttle.
I don't know what happens to the ISS, if it falls to earth as well or remains in orbit only mildly damaged.
One important note: unlike Columbia and Challenger, there is a CHANCE that the crew of Discovery will survive this space accident and NOT end up rolling backwards into earth's upper atmosphere and to a fiery death. Despite my dream, the base 7 system leaves open the possibility that damage to the space station from the explosion can be minimised, the crew jetison away from the burning shuttle and board the ISS, and a rescue shuttle launched while the crew stays aboard the ISS.
Base 7 precedent: Apollo 13 explosion. April 1970. 35 (5 x 7) years ago.
If, like my prediction for what would be the doomed Columbia mission, I am a year late, then this disaster or dangerous close-call may not happen until May 2006.
NASA delays space shuttle launch till July -- Official cites safety concerns for DiscoveryFriday, April 29, 2005
Posted: 1716 GMT (0116 HKT) (CNN) -- NASA will delay the launch of the space shuttle Discovery, the first shuttle to fly since the 2003 Columbia disaster, from May until July because of safety concerns, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said Friday. Griffin said the decision was made after managers looked at technical reviews over the past 10 days. "As a result of all that and in looking at the open analysis items and the small fixes that we need to make and some issues that arose during the tanking of Discovery ... the sum of all those things necessitates that we move out six or seven weeks," Griffin said. He said NASA's position on the shuttle launch had remained consistent. "We're going to return to flight, not rush to flight," said Griffin, who took over as NASA's boss on April 14. William Readdy, associate administrator for NASA's space operations, said that there was concern with the fuel tank and that a heater may need to be added. The Associated Press reported NASA's prime area of concern is a liquid oxygen line on the lower half of the fuel tank. Its expansion joints have produced ice in the past, the AP said. Engineers have been studying the threat of ice formations and the possibility that they could break off, as the foam on Columbia's tank did, and damage the ship. A piece of fuel-tank foam insulation was blamed for the disintegration of the shuttle Columbia over Texas as it was returning from space February 1, 2003, killing all seven astronauts aboard. Since the Columbia crash, NASA has revamped how the tank's insulating foam is applied and replaced some areas of suspect foam. Should engineers decide to go ahead with the installation of a heater, Discovery, with its two solid rocket boosters and an external fuel tank attached to its belly, will have to be rolled back from the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, to the Vehicle Assembly Building, a tedious, four-mile journey. The shuttle fleet has been grounded since the Columbia broke apart while approaching the Kennedy Space Center. Discovery was to take off May 22, a delay from May 15. With the latest postponement, the launch will have to be made between July 13 and 31 for conditions to be favorable. The launch window for Discovery is limited because NASA has committed to daytime launches for the next two missions to provide ideal lighting conditions for upgraded cameras that will image the shuttle as it climbs into orbit. Discovery is to rendezvous with the international space station. |
COMMENTS (4/30/05): This proves the danger of destruction to the shuttle and a fiery reentry into earth's atmosphere that I predicted would happen to Discovery in April/May 2005 was correct.
It is too early yet for me to claim this as a "THWARTED PREDICTION" because the danger will likely persist into the July 2005 launch or whenever the launch is carried out ... even if that isn't until next year. Unless they find out what is actually wrong, that is.
Indeed, this has the ring of de ja vu about it, like all the problems that were discovered on Columbia throughout 2002, delaying the launch until late January 2003. That delay caused my prediction of destruction of the shuttle and the deaths of the crew that would be on board to happen a year later: in February 2003 rather than January/February 2002. That is why I claimed it as a successful prediction: because the inevitable was merely delayed and earlier planned launches in 2002 were held off until 2003. If not for the various delays, the catastrophe would have occurred during the earliest opportunity for launch in 2002.
I spent the entire year of 2002 periodically writing updates about the danger of the pending Columbia mission every time another problem was discovered and the launch date set back. These warning updates, unfortunately, were deleted after a month or two passed due to a need for extra space on that page ... until another report of a discovery of something wrong being found. I even warned certain civilians who wanted to be part of the crew, including singer Lance Bass, that they would die in space if they did. When news broke that an Israeli astronaut wanted to join, I said he would die in space too. And he did. He was one of the seven crew members that perished on February 1. The warning to Bass and the Israeli astronaut still remain below the prediction.
Did it have to happen? Not necessarily. If NASA had uncovered the problem the Columbia shuttle would ultimately have, they could have fixed it. And then my prediction could have been a "Prediction Thwarted." However, right now, they are so fearful of what they have found on the Discovery shuttle, there is no question that my prediction would likely have been fulfilled had they launched in May.
And if they miss the July 2005 launch ... what then? Then we are back to a situation similar to the 2002 year-long lead-up to the mid-January 2003 launch of Columbia and subsequent disaster on February 1, 2003 during reentry. Thus, a Discovery catastrophe could happen as late as anytime next year.
Unless NASA finds the problem this time around and fixes it. Let us hope they do.
COMMENTS
(7/30/05): I am calling this prediction a CLOSE CALL, especially with NASA
saying it regrets carrying out the launch and is grounding all
future shuttle flights for what may well be a few years. I have
an uneasy feeling we may not know everything here, especially
since the debris that fell off Discovery on launch was exactly
the same kind of debris that fell off Columbia. And the damage to
Discovery's wing and nosecone is the same as the damage done to
Columbia as well (although NASA claims it is not as bad). The
shuttle crew can stay aboard the ISS and wait for Atlantis to
rescue them if more damage is discovered or if reentry is
considered a big risk. That, of course, does not minimise the
danger that rescue shuttle Atlantis could likewise undergo the
same kind of damage at launch.
I think you might agree this "close call" could get a lot closer than it has thus far, but hopefully not much more. I would really hate to see this prediction fulfilled.
Astronaut
collapses during ceremony

COMMENTS (9/26/06): No, I am not trying make any claim here for a prediction fulfilled. I don't have to anyway: last year's space shuttle crisis was the 2005 equivilent of Apollo 13. I suppose I could add that the debris that fell off Atlantis is proof that the danger element still lurks and is additive to the CLOSE CALL of last year's mission. I sort of regard the collapse of astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper as a type of bizarre footnote to both missions. It was almost as though the dangerous elements that they escaped from were saying "Gotcha!", however weakly so. Besides, I have never seen an astronaut faint in public after a shuttle return.

On July 14, 1992, Australian singer and actress Olivia Newton-John announced that she had breast cancer, placing her fans in a state of complete shock. She was operated on at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and had to undergo a period of chemotherapy. In February 1993 she received the all-clear, and returned to Australia to recuperate. She has toured extensively to sell-out audiences during the last few years. Six years later (one year off from seven, but still adjacent to 1999), in April 1998, Australian actress Belinda Emmett was diagnosed with breast cancer and subsequently underwent surgery, which successfully removed a malignant tumour. However, during a routine medical check-up in April 2001, bone cancer was detected. |

Emmett, now 31 this year, had been working on a feature film, The Nugget, and starring in a TV series. Ultimately, she overcame the second cancer and is cancer-free to this day.
I was never aware of Olivia Newton-John's battle with cancer until a few years ago. As for Belinda Emmett, I did not even know who she was until the other day (since I am not Australian). I have never thought of linking cancer deaths or cancer diagnoses with the base 7 system, but I am surprised to see a consistency developing in this case.
Now, almost exactly seven years after Emmett's diagnosis of breast cancer (May instead of April), it has happened again.
This time the Australian female celebrity is pop star Kylie Minogue:
Kylie's cancer shock ends
tour Tuesday, May 17, 2005 Posted: 0809 GMT (1609 HKT) SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) -- Australian pop star Kylie Minogue has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The 2004 Grammy winner, who turns 37 on May 28, will undergo immediate treatment and has postponed her upcoming Australian tour, according to a statement released by her promoters in Australia on Tuesday. "I was so looking forward to bringing the Showgirl tour to Australian audiences," Minogue said in the statement. "I am sorry to have disappointed my fans. Nevertheless, hopefully all will work out fine and I'll be back with you all again soon," she said in the statement, released by The Frontier Touring Company.Minogue's management said she had been staying in Melbourne with her family this week when she was diagnosed with the illness. Her spectacular Showgirl tour, which has already played in Europe, was scheduled to tour Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth over the next month. Minogue's promoter Michael Gudinski said he wished her the speediest of recoveries. Ticket holders have been told to await an announcement of new Showgirl dates. Minogue began her Showgirl world tour with a concert in Glasgow in March. After Australia, the singer was also due to give concerts in Singapore and Hong Kong before returning to the UK for a headline appearance at the Glastonbury Festival on June 26. Minogue's entertainment career began to take off in the mid-1980s when she appeared in the long-running Australian televison program Neighbours as Charlene, the "girl next door". Over the years she moved through a variety of singing styles and became hugely popular in the UK, Europe and Asia for hits such as "Spinning Around" and "Can't Get You Out of My Head". She was also one of the artists to perform at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and won a U.S. Grammy award in 2004 for best dance recording. |
If all holds true to the 1992 and 1998 events, Kylie's health should improve. However, like Emmett, a relapse could occur three years from now in May 2008.
One last point, Kylie is a major and current pop music celebrity and could, like Freddie Mercury of Queen who died of AIDS in 1991 or Linda McCartney who died of cancer in 1998, fall victim to the "Elvis Presley scenario" later in the year. We hope this will not happen.
Likewise, we hope that last year's James Dean/Marilyn Monroe/Sharon Tate/Sal Mineo/Grace Kelly/Karen Carpenter/Capucine/Princess Diana/etc timeline of tragedy has concluded with the sad, unfortunate death of Superman star Christopher Reeve (as the 2004 version of "James Dean") and the attempted suicide of blonde, comic actress Shelley Long (who nearly became the "Ona Munson" of 2004). Both Dean and Munson died in 1955: 49 (7 x 7) years prior to 2004.
Unfortunately, we cannot be certain of this until December 2005 has passed. That is because of two "late" repetitions on the 2004 timeline: the plane crash death of blonde actress Carole Lombard in January 1942 (four months beyond the August/September 1941 vector) and the suspicious suicide, possible homicide of blonde actress Thelma Todd in December 1935 (fifteen months beyond the August/September 1934 vector). It is still possible the Todd influence from exactly 70 years ago will play out as late as December of this year. If it does, Kylie Minogue could fall victim to her cancer as did blonde actresses Jill Ireland and Susan Oliver in 1990. Still, this is largely a "blonde" influence, and as such, it is still Madonna, Britney, Paris, Sharon Stone, Anna Nicole Smith, etc who remain in greatest danger.

NEW PREDICTION: Early 1998, (UPDATED: 5/18/04) -- According to my base 7 calculations, there actually appears to be a "Gandhi curse." Congress Party leader Sonia Gandhi, the Italian-born widow of Rajiv Gandhi, may be at risk of imprisonment, execution, or assassination in May 2005 or October/ November 2005. Her husband, Rajiv, was assassinated in May 1991 and her mother-in-law, Indira, was also assassinated on Halloween night, October 31, 1984. Mohandas Gandhi (no relation) was assassinated in 1948. Two of these years align with 2005. Mohandas Gandhi (no relation) was assassinated in 1948. Two of these years align with 2005. There is also a quatrain to ponder over.
Sonia, the fille, was a girl of 21 when she married Rajiv Gandhi and is the daughter-in-law of the late prime minister Indira Gandhi and daughter of an Italian building contractor. "Fille" can mean "girl," "young woman," or "daughter." It may be intended in all of these manifestations. However, in Nostradamus time, it was not uncommon in France or England for adults to use the word "son" or "daughter" when addressing or referring to a young male or female. As an informal reference "daughter" eventually became slang for "girl" or "young woman" and was still in use in this way as recently as the late 19th Century.
There remains a distinct possibility that Sonia's daughter, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, may be the one Nostradamus is discussing. If this is so, she may herself be in danger in May 2012 or October/November 2012. This, however, does not neccessarily mitigate the danger of assassination for Sonia Gandhi in 2005.
One must ask the meaning of the phrase "without much different domain." This could infer that Gandhi's position will not be much different than it has been in the past: as leader of the Congress Party, but not as India's Prime Minister. Thus, declining the position of prime minister in 2004 may not have changed her fate. She may still be in danger in May or October 2005.
If the above quatrain applies to Ms. Gandhi her imprisonment will follow a time of great flooding in Bombay or New Delhi and possible terrorism. One might well ask why Nostradamus would bother predicting disaster for this woman while completely ignoring the assassinations of Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, or even, for that matter, Mohandas Gandhi. Indeed, there is seemingly little interest demonstrated by the French prophet concerning the destiny of India (several quatrains at most).
The reason Nostradamus is heaping such unusual attention on Ms. Gandhi in the above quatrain, if indeed he is, has much to do with the first line. Sonia Gandhi is an Italian-born woman who married an Indian politician. Nostradamus, a Provencal native, had strong ties to what is now Italy. Even the dialect he actually spoke was more Italian than French. The future of Italy -- like that of France, Spain, and Englandd -- was of tremendous interest to him.
He describes her as being with "a foreign people, far away from the Romans." The idea of a woman from a Latin land leading the people of India must have intrigued him to distraction. Therefore her fate would be of great concern to him.
If the last line is correct, she will be arrested by political opponents and imprisoned ("captured leader" or "captured leader, in irons"). The phrase "her lock will not be removed" could suggest either lengthy incarceration or neglect by captors who never unlock her cell -- a neglect which would eventually result in death from starvation. It is unfortunate, but numerology indicates that she may, in the end, share the fate of her husband and mother-in-law during one of the time periods shown above.
RATING: +0
NEW PREDICTION: 1/3/05 -- The better-known member of the husband-wife tragedy will likely be an actor/actress or comedian/comedienne. A gun will be used, although not necessarily so. This may be a murder-suicide or a mutual suicide. The one who initiates it can be either the husband or the wife. This may be a celebrity couple living in Hollywood or a couple, one member at least who will be American, living outside of the United States. The dating for this double tragedy is during one of two years (or both): May 2005 and/or October 2006.
Former Swiss skier Rey-Bellet shot deadMon May 1, 2006 8:57am ET
Rey-Bellet, who retired from the World Cup circuit in 2003, was killed along with her brother Alain in the village of Les Crosets on Sunday night. Jean-Marie Bornet, a spokesman for canton Valais police, told Swiss state radio that a possible domestic crime "could not be excluded". Her mother was taken to hospital in serious condition after being injured in the attack. Bornet said that Rey-Bellet's father and her two-year-old son had been taken into safe keeping. He added that the police were keen to talk to her husband Gerold Stadler. "We hope to make contact as quickly as possible," Bornet said. "We are looking to contact him to advance the investigation." Bornet said the police had "precise indications" as to the identity of the perpetrator but declined to elaborate "in the interests of the investigation." Rey-Bellet won five World Cup races during her career including a rare feat of two wins on the same day in January 1999. The 33-year-old former speed specialist also won a silver medal in downhill at the 2003 world championships in St Moritz and took part in four Winter Olympics. Following the birth of her son in November 2003, Rey-Bellet was retraining to become a physiotherapist. Murdered skier husband kills selfThursday, May 4, 2006 Posted: 1518 GMT (2318 HKT)
Gerold Stadler, whose body was found on the edge of a forest on Wednesday night after a three-day manhunt, was the sole suspect in the shooting death of Rey-Bellet and her ski instructor brother Alain, 32, in Les Crosets on Sunday. "According to an initial inquiry, he killed himself with his army gun more than 36 hours prior to being found," police said in a statement on the banker it called the "presumed murderer". An autopsy and criminal inquiry had ruled out involvement of a third party in the death of Stadler, who died immediately from a single shot to his right temple, it added. An arrest warrant had been issued for the 34-year-old, who was seen with a gun fleeing the crime scene, the flat of Rey-Bellet's parents in the Les Crosets hamlet in Valais canton. Stadler, like most Swiss men, kept a weapon after serving in the military as an of |
