"He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given
They move down the line
But he'll stay behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate.

As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said.

Sky pilot ..... sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never reach the sky!

You're soldiers of God you must understand
The fate of your country is in your young hands
May God give you strength
Do your job real well
If it all was worth it
Only time it will tell ..."

I thought it appropriate to begin with this excerpt from Eric Burdon's classic anti-war hit from 1968, because it really hits home to where we are today: in Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan ...

If you believe that God has a side in this global war that is developing, you will soon find you are truly disillusioned. For thousands of years, mankind has fought hundreds of wars, each side believing that his had "God on their side." This is especially true about the confrontation today that is being represented as a war between Judeo-Christians and Muslims, with psychopaths on both sides calling each other "infidel" and "satan," declaring God will grant his side victory against the "godless" adversaries.

I don't care if you are a Christian, a Muslim, a Jew, a Hindu, a Bhuddist, a pagan, an athiest, or any other type of believer or non-believer. God is NOT on your side! This global war, if it is allowed to materialise, is going to be very special because God will despise the winners and the losers equally, and He will demonstrate His Wrath to everyone on this planet.

Every war has a technical "winner": however, there shall be none who can claim a moral victory in this war. All shall be condemned.

As everyone whips themselves into an apocalyptic frenzy, preparing for "the Rapture" or the Second Coming or some other messianic intervention to save them, I am here to WARN YOU ALL: THERE SHALL BE NO SALVATION FOR THEE! God has had enough!

I do not mean to suggest that none in this world are saved or beyond His grace. But none among us are beyond punishment, for we err grievously when we think to wage a war and call it righteous in His name.

Also, I do not presume to speak for God, but I am inspired by Scripture to say what must be said.

He has had enough of those who destroy this planet, who hurt the earth and destroy the wildlife for its resources, and those also who destroy the earth and murder millions of children through warfare. By declaring war against Nature and war against Man, Mankind has declared war against God Himself!

So do not be surprised that you and I shall surely die and not see any mercy or last minute intervention. Hide in the holes and caves like the foxes and rabbits when a storm approaches, that is my advise.

For as Nation rises against Nation and plunders the planet, God shall chastise all. And this chastisement has been warned of by St John in his book of Revelation:

Revelation 6:12-17 ---

I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.

And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks,

'Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?'

Then came the day when all things became still and apprehensive, for God caused a sign to appear in the Heavens, so that men should know the Earth would be afflicted, and the sign was a strange star.

The star grew and waxed to a great brightness and was awesome to behold. It put forth horns and sang, being unlike any other ever seen. So men, seeing it, said among themselves, 'Surely, this is God appearing in the Heavens above us'. The star was not God, though it was directed by His design, but the people had not the wisdom to understand.

Then God manifested Himself in the Heavens. His voice was as the roll of thunders and He was clothed with smoke and fire. He carried lightings in His hand and His breath, falling upon the Earth, brought forth brimstone and embers. His eye was a black void and His mouth an abyss containing the winds of Destruction. He encircled the whole of the Heavens, bearing upon His back a black robe adorned with stars.

Such was the likeness and manifestation of God in those days. Awesome was His countenance, terrible His voice of wrath, the sun and moon hid themselves in fear and there was a heavy darkness over the face of the Earth.

Yes, it is nothing less than the great day of God's wrath and His face that the sinners of this world shall see (and all of us, even the saved, have sinned most grievously).

It took the confused dream of a young woman to help me realise, not only my growing belief that Revelation 6 and "Planet X" are intimately related, but that for one day, the day appointed by God for all to see, His day of wrath, it will be His face we shall see instead of the swirling, coiling flames. The great day of His wrath shall come in a worldwide chastisement of earthquake, storm, deluge, and fire. Even the captains on the battlefield shall swoon with fear at the coming of this day when God shall rebuke the true enemy: War itself and those who hurt the planet.

Comets in the ancient past have been known to take on forms such as serpents or wolves. The scientific explanation for this phenomenon (if there is one) is that it is the outer gases being distorted by the earth's gravitational pull. So, perhaps in this case, it will be likewise ... a molding and shaping of the fiery Planet X into a visage we shall all recognise!

Understand this is not Armageddon, the Final Judgment, or in any manner the ultimate ending of Revelation. It is a special day set aside for mankind to be punished for what he has done to the earth through war and peace and for sinning so very greatly! It is a day of wrath ... and a day of correction. Many things still must follow in its wake, events that may take many years. But the day of His wrath, the opening of the sixth seal (or Planet X appearing to the world as the face of God during the height of global war and global cataclysm, if you will), is as much a sign that the end times have begun as it is a day of punishment and redemption.

THE NEW POPE: BENEDICT XVI
What do Nostradamus and St. Malachy's Prophecies say about Him?

By John Hogue

Now that we have a new pope it is time to refresh interpretations of Nostradamus' prophecy listed in my previous article "The Next Pope" (http://www.hogueprophecy.com/archiv46.htm).

The prophecy in question is Century 5 Quatrain 49 from the 16th century seer's work "Les Propheties." It reads:

Cardinals gather at the Vatican to elect a new pope

Nul de l'Espaigne mais de l'antique France,
Ne sera esleu pour le tremblant nacelle,
A l'ennemy sera faicte fiance,
Qui dans son regne sera peste cruelle.

Not from Spain but from ancient France,
Will be elected for the trembling ship [the bark of Peter],
He will make a promise to the enemy,
Who will cause great plague during his reign.

The Papal Conclave elected the late--and some would say "great"--John Paul II's grand inquisitor of orthodox Catholic dogma, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, on 19 April 2005 in a fourth ballot landslide. Either the Holy Spirit or shrewd political maneuvering worked to isolate progressive cardinals from picking their aged candidate for a caretaker pope--Cardinal Martini. Instead the pope who would oversee the pause before the next course taken for the Church will be the staunch conservative Prelate of the Congregation of the Doctrine and the Faith. He is the man who for the past 23 years was unaffectionately known by dissenting priests as "Cardinal Panzer" or John Paul's "rottweiler" enforcer of strict doctrine. The message of the Conclave vote is clear. A shaky Holy See, has a new fisherman who with unwavering hand they expect will keep the Catholic fold on a straight and narrow dogmatic course as per the late pontiff's prayers. Metaphorically speaking, this 265th successor to St. Peter, may be a fisher of converts that throws back a majority of the errant catch if they protest too much about his tightening grip on the net. More on that later.

With more prescient persuasion than one might think. It all depends on whether Nostradamus intended us to take the cryptic statement in line 1 of the prophecy above as minimally specific or broad. For decades I advanced one interpretation that line 1 targeted John Paul II, who was born in Southwest Poland, which happened to be part of the frontiers of French King Charlemagne's sprawling and ancient Frankish empire.

In my previous article I introduced a new and minimalist variant, posing that the quatrain could be about John Paul's successor. He might be a cardinal coming from the most smallest political boundary generally accepted as the first and most ancient "French" kingdom: the region surrounding Paris. Thus Nostradamus' habit of juxtaposing ancient places for the advent of modern people has the cardinal's priestly "habit" be that of an Archbishop of Paris, like Cardinal Lustiger--long shot though I believed he would be.

As it turned out, Lustiger was not more than a ballot pusher in the Conclave. And, as I said over seven years earlier in my book "The Last Pope," Cardinal Martini did turn out to be the best chance for the progressives to take St. Peter's chair from another conservative candidate.

Martini was the only liberal to make a real run against Cardinal Ratzinger at grabbing one of the holiest of brass rings in Christendom--St. Peter's ring. Nevertheless it went to a Teutonic cardinal born 78 years before in Marktl Am Inn, near Traunstein, Germany.

Looking at this development in hindsight, you cannot get more "Ancient France" than that. Here's why. As many of you have reminded me, the new pope's birthplace is in the heart of what once was Charlemagne's ancient Frankish Empire. The Franks are a Germanic tribe. Their homeland ran along the west bank of the Rhine River, which is just a short distance west from Ratzinger's birthplace in eastern Bavaria. Even before Charlemagne's stretched his empire to the frontiers of southwestern Poland, Bavaria was a Frankish kingdom ruled by Frankish kings in Paris from as early as the mid 6th century, starting with Clotaire I. Later, Ratzinger's homeland became again a part of a unified "ancient" French Empire under the heir of Clotaire II, Dagobert I, in the year 629. For two more centuries Bavaria slipped in and out of French domination until Charlemagne in 787 incorporated Ratzinger's homeland into his Carlolingian Empire for a longer time.

Not from Spain but from ancient France....

...comes a pope, cassocked and capped in one of Nostradamus' ways to miter his point across time to us, with a classical reference to geography.

...Will be elected for the trembling ship [the bark of Peter]...

Cardinal Ratzinger appears with a "trembling" Pope John Paul II during a Mass

Here we have the double entendre describing the previous pope's enfeeblement from Parkinson's disease, plus an allusion to the enfeebled Church Ratzinger inherits. The new pope must shore up a shaking Church suffering pederast sexual scandals, a decimation by old age of the priesthood and a wholesale abandonment of European and American Catholics. Some might add that the exodus is a direct result of a rigid dogma defended and policed by John Paul's theological "rottweiler" and successor for over two decades. Ratzinger as the new Benedict XVI also inherits a priestly hierarchy that lost collegial freedom under the autocratic Polish "Papa." Many Cardinals believe--whether they lean to the left or right of late pope's interpretation of theology--that John Paul's dictatorial reign was a detriment to the church and had planted seeds for a future crisis.

...He will make a promise to the enemy...

If we regard recent developments against the record of the man who is now the new pope, the "enemy" is not outside of the Church but within. The enemy is what Raztinger, the once and perhaps future inquisitor of the faith, decried as the "dictatorship of relativism." In layman's--or the laity's--terms, that means those Catholic priests or lay followers who pick and choose those parts of Catholic teaching and dogma that satisfy their temperament. The enemy of this new pope, is a progressive or liberal interpretation of Vatican II reforms. Thus the "promise" made to such an enemy could be the one Ratzinger delivered while fresh in his new white cassock and cap of Benedict XVI. He promised to be a more collegial and tolerant pope than his predecessor. If this interpretation is correct, I would expect Pope Benedict will be as much a uniter of his flock, as the American President, G. W. Bush was a uniter for his. Look for Benedict to divide his church between "blue" and "red" (progressive and conservative) Catholics, especially in North America and Europe during his relatively short reign.

The last line of the prophecy says that this pope makes a promise to an enemy...

...Who will cause great plague during his reign.

If we take this line into the light of the present new pontificacy, the great plague could be a schism in the Church. Moreover, it could stand for some promise made for ecumenism by Benedict XVI towards the Islamic world that falters when the war on terror widens. The pestilence might even include a man-made "plague" coming from weapons of mass destruction, either unleashed by the US or by her enemies in the war on terror. Indeed Nostradamus often returns to the theme of Rome's destruction by such weapons, as do other famous Catholic seers of the past millennium.

Then again, the "plague" may be a coming pandemic in Ratiznger's rule as pope. He is one of the oldest pontiffs to ever ascend St. Peter's throne. Even if his pontificacy was short, there are disturbing indications that the next pandemic may be with us within a year. The CDC (The Center for Disease and Control) caution that a spread of Chinese bird flu is imminent. Could this be the "great plague during his reign"?

The syntax leans more to a plague of commission by the hands of an enemy against the Church rather than a mishandling of sick chickens. Still, the view of our world from so many centuries back might be vague enough for a seer from the 1550s to mix and misread the signs.

Joseph Ratzinger bears the 111th and final Latin prophetic motto attributed to St. Malachy's famous medieval prophecy purportedly written in 1140.

Today I will provide a brief summary of how the new Benedict XVI fits Malachy's motto for second-to-last pope before the onset of Judgment Day. A more detailed examination will be forthcoming when the updated edition of my book THE LAST POPE (http://www.hogueprophecy.com/lastpop.htm) finds a new publisher. My hope is that it will appear later in 2005. If you wish to know when it comes out, just send me an email at talktome@hogueprophecy.com. Put "LAST POPE" in the subject line. I will broadcast the message to you when the book comes out again.

The "olive" branch in Medieval prophecy stands for peace. For a long time, Malachy prophecy watchers assumed that the next pope bearing this name would be a great peacemaker. Certainly Cardinal Ratzinger took on the mantle of as much, when in his first public declaration as "Benedict XVI" he explained his new name with the motto "Peace and Consolation."

First World War pontiff, Pope Benedict XV

The last pope by that name, Benedict XV, ruled during World War I. He tried but failed as a peacemaker, setting forth his Seven Points to forestall any future world wars. Neither the victorious allied leaders nor the vanquished invited Benedict XVI to attend the negotiation and ratification of the Treaty of Versailles. His public neutrality during the war had soured warring Christian European leaders on both sides. Only US President Woodrow Wilson took the pope's peace plans seriously. He adopted some of the pope's ideas as the basis for his Fourteen Point Plan submitted at the Versailles peace negotiations.

Ratzinger as the next Benedict hints a message here. He intends to succeed where the previous Benedict failed. This new Benedict was elected during a new world war of international terrorism. He may try to be the peacemaker that prevents its escalation into a clash of Christian and Islamic cultures. If he is unsuccessful then Nostradamus' prediction elsewhere in his prophecies of a 27-year war may come to fruition and his Third Antichrist, code named "MABUS," will trigger that third world war.

Deeper still in the layers of meaning in the name "Benedict" is the signal identifying the new pope with the first and earliest founder of a Christian monastic order, St. Benedict (c.480-550). This great reformer's codes of law had a significant impact on the Western World. St. Benedict was known as the great peacemaker and reconciler, saving Western culture and Western Christianity from falling into the chaos of the Dark Ages. Perhaps Pope Benedict XVI sees himself, like his predecessor, on the brink of a new darkness, requiring a reaffirmation of dogma and codes of Catholic behavior.

Pope Benedict's name has evokes interesting possibilities out of St. Malachy's motto: De Gloria "Olivae." The Olivetans are a reform branch of the white monks of the Benedictine Order, established in the 14th century. The olive branch is their symbol--the Sermon on the Mount of Olives from the New Testament, their creed. The Olivetans believe they are set to prepare the world for the apocalypse foretold in Christ's Mount of Olives sermon.

The new pope waves as thousands chant 'Viva il papa'

St. Benedict was made the patron saint of Europe by Paul VI--Cardinal Ratzinger's mentor. This implies that Ratzinger/Benedict XVI will either attempt to bring European Catholics back in the fold, or he will make good on a reverie recorded in his voluminous writings that a smaller church population adhering to ALL the dogma is better for the Church's survival in dark times than including a larger Catholic fold that only picks and chooses bits of the dogma to satisfy its modernist attitudes. It must be remembered that the previous Pope Benedict was a staunch anti-liberal and anti-modernist. Is the new Benedict the same?

In my last bulletin, logged a week before the Conclave convened to pick a new pope, I predicted that if the cardinals intended to choose a caretaker pope it would be Cardinal Ratzinger.

Destiny has set forth upon that prophetic time line today urged forward by echoes of the past. The Vatican, like the USA, seems to be stuck in a 40 year loop of repeating history--a phenomenon I have defined previously as a Karmic Echo. It consists of history lessons unlearned by nations or religions, returning every 20 to 40 years for a new encounter. America today is facing lessons unlearned as a nation with the return of a second military quagmire launched by a Texan president. Last time it was the liberal Texan, Johnson, 40 years ago in Vietnam. This time around it is a conservative Texan, Bush, today in Iraq.

The Vatican is a small but influential nation of priests and nuns guiding the faith of one sixth of the earth's population. It may also see the return of a short lived, caretaker pope launching a revolution to rival what took place roughly 40 years earlier. The brief pontificacy of liberal John XXIII launched Vatican II-- a progressive revolution that tried to bring the Catholic Church into the 20th century. If we are indeed seeing a Karmic Echo, I believe the conservative Benedict XVI will also be short lived. He will launch his own reform of the Church in a conservative revolution that could keep the Catholic religion from entering the 21st century.

Research for the new edition of "The Last Pope" will reveal that Pope Benedict XVI really prepared and wanted to be Vicar of Christ, despite his public protestations of humility and unworthiness. Becoming Pope has energized him and he is looking more youthful than before the Conclave. Still, I do not think he will be a long lived pope. I give him as little as three years and as much as seven, maximum. Back in 1997 when I wrote the first edition of "Last Pope," I stated that John Paul II would die in 2000 and his successor would die in 2008 ushering in Petrus Romanus, the code name for St. Malachy's final pope before the end of days, as he foresaw them.. Clearly I was wrong about John Paul II. Even he was surprised. John Paul also believed he would die at the end of 2000 rather than linger five more years. You can see him admit as much in the text of his Last Will and Testament.

Perhaps my prophecy from 1997 will be partially fulfilled if Benedict passes away in 2008.

The last time we had a caretaker pope (John XXIII) he initiated a progressive and liberal revolution in the Church in his short reign--Vatican II. With Benedict XVI the pendulum swings all the way to the right. He will be responsible for a conservative revolution. Will he soon gather the bishops of the church for a Vatican "III"?

DIANA MURDER CONSPIRACY COMPLETED: APRIL 8, 2005

'Before she died in 1997, Diana wrote a letter in which she claimed Prince Charles was planning to have her killed in a car crash "to make the path clear for him to marry (Camilla Parker-Bowles)".

Former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens is investigating the circumstances of the Paris crash in which she died.

Last month he declared that he had not ruled out crime or an Establishment plot to kill the princess, and would not be giving his report to the coroner until the summer...'

'Insult to Diana's memory'

2/11 Dear Mr. McClellan: in the event that this has not already been brought to your attention, it appears that the date of the forthcoming marriage of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles (scheduled for April 8, 2005) is terribly close to being 7 years, 7 months and 7 days after the death of Princess Diana?! I thought you might want to know. I personally do not believe in coincidences -- Sincerely, C. M.

Yes indeed - and only off by a matter of hours. Now there is a perfectly frightening application of the base 7 system at its most exact.

What might we expect in the weeks ahead as this wedding draws near? A sinister attempt to eclipse Diana's memory and legacy before the inquest into her death has been concluded is soon to take place. The result may change History forever as nations go to war, the earth groans and trembles, the moon turns the colour of blood, a flaming spectre appears, a new religion is formed, and a king receives a fatal head wound from an assassin's bullet ...

By the way, I have read one who is critical of Nostradamus interpreters write that translations should rhyme in the spirit of the original quatrains, so I am doing my best here to oblige.

777 = 666 + 111

1 is the number of Apollo the sun god

THE APOLLO DEAD

Quatrain 10.55

Les malheureuses nopces celebreront,
En grand joye mais la fin malheureuse:
Mary & mere nore desdaigneront.
Le Phybe mort & nore plus piteuse.

The unfortunate nuptials will be celebratory,
In great joy, but the ending maliferous:
The daughter-in-law scorned by mother and Mary,
The Apollo dead and the daughter more piteous.

According to Nostradamus, a time will come when the Virgin Mary ("Mary") will be forced to compete with the murdered Princess Diana ("the daughter-in-law") for the worship of humanity. Diana was also scorned by Queen Elizabeth, the "mother" of the first Apollo, Prince Charles. The second Apollo, intended to be a modern Akhnaten, Dodi al-Fayed, was killed instantly in the Paris car crash, whilst Diana, intended to fulfill the role of a new Nefertiti, lingered, "more piteous," for several hours with a punctured lung before dying.

Yet there are three 1s: 111

Prince Charles was the sun (Apollo) to Diana (moon). And within her womb Diana carried the third Apollo who was foreseen by Jeane Dixon. Three Apollos: Dodi, Charles, and the dead manchild. Two are mort. Could this imply that Charles will be assassinated?

AN OMEN?

Fire engulfs the Windsor building in downtown Madrid. Madrid authorities warned there was a "high risk" the 31-storey office building would collapse after the biggest fire in the city's history engulfed one of the Spanish capital's landmarks sending flaming chunks of debris plummeting to the street.

The fire was put out shortly after 8 pm (1900 GMT), more than 20 hours after it began, firefighting services director Medardo Tudela told reporters, warning that the building's shell could be unstable and might collapse.

The fire broke out around 11 pm (2200 GMT) Saturday, February 12, 2005, when the building was empty.

Madrid mayor Alberto Ruiz Gallardon told reporters that "we are looking at the biggest fire in Madrid's history. Insurers valued the Windsor building at 84.2 million euros at 2003 prices (108.3 million dollars).

THE APPARITION TO COME

After Diana's death the public was allowed a huge mourn-fest for the rest of 1997 and into 1998, but then "the powers that be" and the media did all they could to sweep her memory under the rug.

The murder of Princess Diana is the greatest cover-up in all of history and -- if the living do not bring those responsible to justice and reveal the Satanic plot behind her murder -- then it will be the sainted dead and Diana herself who will rise up to expose the evil ones for who they are, in every office in every station, wherever they hide. All of the offending principalities of church and state who collaborated on this great abomination of murder will be stripped of secrecy.

Of course, there will be those who will call this event the work of the Devil and of Antichrist, and there will be those who are wise enough to understand the ways of the Lord are mysterious and who understand the prophecy of Revelation 12 demands that a woman yet to come must be revered and her child with her, and that Diana was intended to be that woman but was struck down by the power of Satan and his helpers on earth. Those who claim the Apparition is diabolic will soon be locked in battle with those who believe Diana to be sainted by God.

I normally resist the doctrine that allows for the worship of saints and of idols, but the worship of Diana will be a reminder that the great Islamic Jihad against the West, now in progress and building, need never to have happened. Had Diana lived and her child been suffered to live and grow to manhood, we would not be facing a Third World War today.

Diana's apparition will be seen and heard by millions of people worldwide. Ironically, this wondrous event shall also mark the Eve of World War III -- the nightmare from which all of us could have been saved if Diana had lived. The holocaust to come will be so far reaching that billions of bodies will be committed to the nuclear altar of Vulcan, the god of fire and destruction by fire.

US-ISRAELI AIR STRIKES ON IRAN, MAJOR WARFARE IN IRAQ, DIANA ADMIRERS MULTIPLY, HEAPING SCORN ON THE WEDDING OF CHARLES AND CAMILLA

Technically this prophecy was already fulfilled last year when terrorists joined the escalating insurgency in Iraq as an inquest into Diana's death was begun, shocking revelations that she feared a murder plot were revealed in her letters, and the controversy of televising photos taken after the fatal car crash in Paris led to a general international reflection on the life and death of the late Princess of Wales. Now, a terrorist bombing in Iraq killed 17 on the very day Charles announced his engagement to Camilla Parker-Bowles. 21 more Iraqis have died since that day. All following a relative lull in January as Iraqi elections were prepared for and then held. However, the latest news of Charles and Camilla's upcoming marriage, the increasing outrage being felt towards the wedding plans by growing numbers of Diana admirers, and what appears to be almost certain preparations by the US for a massive air and naval war against Iran and the anticipated Iranian retaliation against US forces in Iraq, demonstrates the enduring power contained within Quatrain 9.74 to continue to be fulfilled at even greater magnitudes than it has thus far.

Commentator Erika Cheetham (1973, 1989) believes that Fersod may be a cryptic anagram for Sodom. If not for the more contemporary link in line 3, this could be a far-future prediction about a city reminiscent of the biblical Sodom. However, in a modern context, Fersod may stand for Sadr City: the stronghold of Iraqi Shiite cleric, Moqtada al-Sadr. Many Iraqi civilians will be killed ("homicide,") when Iran goes to war with the US military stationed in Iraq. Iraqi insurgents under the command of al-Sadr will team up with the Iranians.

The language in line 2 is awkward to translate. It could mean that cows are no longer being slaughtered for food: a cryptic warning about Mad Cow disease. If my interpretation of lines 3 and 4 is correct, a catastrophic air war may be launched against Iran by the US and /or Israel at a time that the late Princess Diana is once again venerated. This "return to Diana and her honours" may be starting yet again in objection to Charles and Camilla as they race ahead suspiciously towards their announced wedding date of April 8, 2005 before the inquest into Diana's death has been concluded.

In line 4 a horrific contrast is presented: hundreds of thousands of innocent lives are lost during US and Israeli air strikes against Iran and during the Iranian retaliations. Vulcan was the Roman god of fire and it will be to fire that both sides of the coming conflict will commend the bodies of countless innocent victims. As the latest quagmire pulls in Russia and expands to European soil, in not many years time hundreds of millions, perhaps billions will die.

MAJOR EARTHQUAKES, THE BREAKING OF THE SIXTH SEAL OF REVELATION, THE RISE OF AN ANTICHRIST AND WORLD WAR III AFTER THE APPEARANCE OF DIANA'S APPARITION

Quatrain 9.31

Le tremblement de terre à Montara,
Cassich saint George à demi perfondrez,
Paix assoupie, la guerre esveillera,
Dans temple à Pasques abismes enfondrez.

The trembling of the earth at Martara,
The tin isles of St. George are half-sunken,
Peace sleeping, the war will awaken,
In the temple at Easter fissures crack open.

Quatrain 1.84

Lune obscurcie aux profondes tenebres
Son frere passe de couleur ferrugine:
Le grand caché long temps soubs les tenebres,
Tiedera fer dans la plaie sanguine.

The Moon obscured in deep shadows,
Her brother becomes the colour of blood:
The great one long hidden in shadows,
Will wield his sword in the bloody rain.

It's possible the first line of Quatrain 9.31 was fulfilled in December when the magnitude 9 earthquake and killer tsunami raced violently outwards from Sumatra to places like Martara in Sri Lanka. The usual translation for "Montara" is Mortara in northern Italy, which is probably correct. But who knows? For that matter, "Montara" could even be the US state of Montana! Time will tell.

But if Martara was intended by Nostradamus at one level or layer (assuming there may be two additional layers to the prophecy, making it potentially repetitive), then there will soon be a major earthquake in the British Isles (of "St George") and one especially at Easter in London. Easter falls on March 27 this year, so it is close to the planned April 8 wedding date. Just as the Great Fire of London is seen by some commentators as a divine judgment on England for the beheading of Charles II, will there be justice demanded for the murder of Diana? It is interesting to note that the cracks that form will be at the only "temple" there is in London: Westminster Abbey, the site of the ancient Temple of Apollo. It was here Diana's funeral was held. Charles had better think twice of marrying Camilla at Westminster! But whether he does or not, it looks like Diana justifiable outrage at the pair will be manifest at the place of her funeral. Huge fissures will crack open upon the cathedral's floor as London shakes and sways like a drunkard.

Note also that this is the time a major war begins as a drowsy "false peace" engineered by Sharon and Abbas settles in the Holy Land: likely the US war against Iran and possibly Syria. Israel may also be involved.

Quatrain 1.84 I have always regarded with some suspicion. On the surface it sounds very much like the opening of the sixth seal of Revelation, with the moon "the colour of blood" and the sun dark "as sackcloth of hair." Yet Nostradamus does something very strange: he reverses his luminaries, making the sun the colour of blood and the moon in dark shadow. I think there is a reason for this. Yes, it is probably a prophecy of the great planet-quake of the sixth seal of Revelation, or an event almost as bad as that, but it is more. Note that a personal pronoun is associated with the moon. It is not the sun, but the moon's brother who is bloodied. This "moon" is Diana yet again whose memory has been obscured in shadow in recent years until last year's revelation concerning Charles, bloodied by a murder concpiracy. The appearance of her flaming apparition will precede great destruction to planet earth and to a horrible war.

The long-hidden figure in the last two lines who "will wield his sword in the bloody rain" is no one less than the third antichrist. Who has been obscured until recently about as long as Diana? Several people come to mind: former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani, who is making a bid for re-election this year; the Russian Duma's top speaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who just might decide to launch a coup against President Vladimir Putin; Osama bin Laden, who may decide the time is ripe to finish creating an Al Qaeda army (and navy) and join ranks with Iran against the US and Israel; the reclusive Kim Jong Il whose father planned to join forces with Iran, Iraq, and Syria in 1992 and start a global war, but died beforehand; and then there is the self-proclaimed messiah, Sun Myung Moon, who may be planning nuclear terrorism with Kim and the Iranians in hopes of triggering a phony Armageddon from which he will arise as world leader and as the god he believes himself to be.

It may even be someone we have never heard of, but who has been working in the background for many years.

Above I implied something about Prince Charles with the 777 - 111 = 666. What if the Tecumseh Curse that has claimed the lives of every US president elected every 20 years since 1840, except for Ronald Reagan, is truly dead? The type of Venus-Jupiter conjunction that attended the election of George W. Bush in 2000 was the last that will be in the air element. Reagan's conjunction was in the water element for the first time since before 1840 and that is why I believe he was wounded and not killed. But what if the bizarre election where Al Gore won but did not serve somehow hamstrung what would have been the final time around for the curse?

Then the base 7 influence that I believe makes Bush at risk this year, John F. Kennedy's assassination 42 (6 x7) years ago in November 1963, could happen to a different world leader rather than the US president. It could happen to Vladimir Putin instead. Or Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (Mabus?). It could also happen to someone like Tony Blair ... or Prince Charles.

I have an awful funny feeling that whoever it happens to just might recover ... and it may be a fatal head wound he recovers from!

Now a quatrain regarding an antichrist named Chausses: I am straying from who and when I believe this person to be my book. My philosophy though is this: even though I believe there is much evidence that the beast of Revelation and his false prophet will not arise until 42 months before an unknown day in 2242 or 2243 (the period Nostradamus seems most to believe will bring Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ), and much Biblical evidence that take us up to at least 2052, if not as far as 2242-43, I also believe that there have always been people in this world that, if God wished to shorten the years, could have become the beast.

Hitler could have been the beast if God had decided that the early 1950s was as far as He was willing to go with mankind. The Second World War would have ended much differently then, with Hitler getting the A-Bomb, and the Korean War (which also involved millions of Chinese) would have marked the beginning of Armageddon.

Hitler, instead, became the archetype for the final Antichrist, the beast. So did Antiochus Epiphanes, Nero, and Napoleon. They too are archetypes.

Likewise, if the late president John F. Kennedy, who many of us loved and admired, had risen from the dead after being shot in Dallas, the 1960s would have marked the end of the world as we know it. But of course this did not happen. Yet, in terms of his charm and charisma, he too is an archetype of a benevelont antichrist.

The same is true today. There are a number of potential people out there who could become the beast, if this is the time God decides to end the stewardship of mankind. For who can appoint the time and the hour but Him?

So, irregardless of what prophecy says about a longer future, we must still watch today very carefully!

Quatrain 10.9

De Castillion figuires jour de brune,
De fame infame naistra souverain prince.
Surnon de chausses perhume lui posthume,
Onc Roi ne faut si pire en sa province.

In the Castle, figures on a day of mist,
Of fame and infame is born a sovereign prince.
Surname of Chausses the ground will make posthumous,
Never once a King so evil in his province.

Remember that Nostradamus slips us another clue in a "great monarch" quatrain regarding Plus oultre Carol Quint in Quatrain 6.70. This was the device of Holy Roman emperor Charles V. Thus, "The great Chiren will be chief of the world, after 'Plus oultre' (after Charles V)." Two meanings surface (Chiren is like Charles V or Chiren will rule after someone else like Charles V - it could even mean both).

So, once again, subtract 111 (a Master number) from 777 (the seven years, seven months, and seven days since Diana was murdered, and we have: 666

Statue is called "Charles, Saviour of the World"

One who is great like the Holy Roman emperor CHARLES V = CHAVRLES = CHAVSSES (old Fr. spelling) = CHAUSSES

666 = CHARLES, ANTE-CHRIST

Revelation 13:3 —

And I saw one of his heads, as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Revelation 13:11-12 —

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed ...

It is a possibility that we may see Charles shot by an assassin, wounded in the head, and miraculously recover. Then he will be in the position of being either an ARCHETYPE for the beast of Revelation or the beast himself.

If he is merely an ARCHETYPE, then his career, and those of his brothers Edward and Andrew, will follow the paths I have detailed in my book as Nostradamus envisioned them. Chiren (Jacques Chirac) will become the first "king of Europe" since Charlemagne and Prince Edward will be appointed by Chirac as his heir to the imperial throne after his death. Charles will become the "old lion" of Great Britain and eventually turn against Edward when a civil war in the new European empire begins (an empire which will not be the EU, at least not as we know it today).

But, if Charles is the beast, then all of the Nostradamus prophecies regarding Chiren and a future leading us up to 2242 will fail. Only those remaining prophecies germane to our current time will be fulfilled.

Personally, I really doubt Charles will become the beast, but I thought I would prepare you just in case.

SATURN'S PRESIDENT
An Astrological Assessment of President Bush's Afflicted Natal Chart and the
Karmic Challenges Facing America beyond 2004 through 2008

by John Hogue

Friends,
I originally planned to publish the following astrological essay on President Bush's birth chart as a second part to of the 2 November 2004 bulletin: 2004--2008: America's Travail of Karmic Atonement (See http://www.hogueprophecy.com/archiv40.htm). I wrote it on 31 October but on election's eve I decided it would work better standing alone. Here it is today with an introductory paragraph and quote from 2 November's bulletin.

Back on the eve of the presidential election, almost seven weeks ago, I used astrological divination to predict why President Bush's natal position of Saturn, in relation to America's natal Saturn, guaranteed him victory in the presidential elections over John F. Kerry:

"G.W. Bush's destiny will be karmically magnified--for better or for worse--on election day, 2 November when Saturn transits 27 degrees Cancer in virtual conjunction over his natal Saturn position at 26 degrees Cancer. The good news for Bush is that the US birth chart has Saturn sitting in Libra at 14 degrees. That means Saturn's current transit over Bush's natal Saturn position magnifies an ultimately positive though difficult uphill battle to final victory in the 2004 election. Bush will win but other negative aspects to Bush's natal Saturn in his chart on that day will also magnify all of his limitations and weaknesses as a leader in his second term."

Bush did win a hard fought presidential campaign, regaining enough popular support after a dismal showing in October's presidential debates to beat his opponent by 3.5 million votes on 2 November 2004. Though some Democrats seek resolution of ballot disputes in Ohio and Florida, I predict no re-count will countermand what has been a clear Bush victory. On 2 November, the second term of G.W. Bush was born, astrologically speaking. Saturn's karmic candidate will be president. What signs does a divination of the stars and their positions give us?

America will face four more years of a man struggling to transcend one of the most afflicted astrological birth charts in the history of American presidents. Bush's Jupiter (ruler of higher mind, religion and expansive thinking) is squared (aspected negatively) with his Sun (the ruler of his ego). That square can make him spiritually self-righteous and narrow minded. He will be a man who cannot admit he has made a mistake.

Bush's Jupiter is also squared his Saturn (Karmic ruler). This aspect in a president can make his mistakes in policy potentially catastrophic for his nation.

His Sun (ego) is squared his Moon (ruler of emotions). That means his emotions are often at odds with his personality.

Noted astrologer, Frances Sakoian, once described this as "the aspect of self-delusion, par excellence."

She said the following on pp. 354-55 of her classic "The Astrologer's Handbook" (co-written by Louis B. Acher in 1973):

"If the natives [born under this aspect] are mystically inclined, they often consider themselves the chosen vessels of some Master or Divine Being. This belief is often the result of an unconscious desire for importance.

"These persons can be vessels in a pure sense, but only if the rest of the horoscope shows a good mentality, humility, and realistic practicality. A well-developed Mercury and Saturn will do much to offset the negative effects of this square."

Astrologically speaking, there is no denying that President Bush's Neptune squared the Sun makes him a medium.

The former Prime Minister and perhaps future Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, recalled in an Israeli newspaper article from early 2003, Bush saying: "God told me to strike at al-Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act..."

Earlier this year, Bush famously told the world on CBS "60 Minutes" news show that he did not take advice from his father, the former president, but listens to "a higher Father." Inferring that he talks--and receives--messages on policy decisions from God.

Bush's Mercury (ruler of the intellect) is sextiled (positively aspected) with Neptune. However Bush's Saturn is so ill aspected that Mercury offsets little of its negativity. It is possible that Mercury's positive inclination might see the right people at the right time persuade him that perhaps God is not always telling him when to go to war.

Bush's Saturnian self-delusion as a medium, unfortunately, will only gain strength because of his clear victory this November. His illusions once had a "mandate" only from the Almighty. Now it includes a slim majority of voters, of which include the deciding edge in his favor of bloc voting Christian fundamentalists. Now, when the president talks to his god before making monumental policy decisions, little Mercury in Bush's chart must feel like he is banished to the porch outside the Oval Office and Saturn has locked the window doors after him. Bush's natal Saturn has a far more powerful influence on his psyche because it is squared Jupiter (ruler of his higher mind and religious potentials) and squared his Moon (the ruler of emotions). Little mental Mercury will find it hard to convert Bush from making snap gut judgments and rigidly keeping them. Saturn squared Neptune nourishes Bush's blind faith in his "divine" calling to be president. A negatively aspected Neptune (ruler of illusions) whispers in his heart of hearts. It is not God. It will be almost impossible for Bush to understand that the voice he hears is his subconscious ego, prompted by "others."

The power of Saturn magnifies Bush's ability to win a close election on 2 November 2004. Controversies will leave the final victory "afflicted." He will fulfill his destiny--and that destiny is karmic. He will be sworn in for a second term as president of a deeply divided nation. His reelection will be a cosmic sign that Americans have semi-consciously chosen to endure a Saturnian gauntlet of national atonement.

For now, I will describe this negative karma in the broadest astrological colors.

Countries go through chapters of life just like people. Now America has entered the difficult teenage years of its destiny. It is perhaps the most powerful adolescent country in history. Power linked to adolescent immaturity can lead to bullying others with an arrogant disregard of facts or the realities of the surrounding community of countries. A strong, impatient and self-opinionated minor prone to bullying invariably finds comeuppance. All countries in their life cycles lose a fight they should not have instigated. Saturn's transit through Cancer, then Leo, and Virgo, in the coming four years will see a few American thumpings by reality.

It will be a collective experience in the school of historic hard knocks for all those Americans who elected Bush back in office. The same goes for all those who did not vote at all, and those in opposition who chose a mediocrity to run against the president. The transit of Saturn could help them all learn, and become a better nation from their collective mistakes.

The lessons of Saturn began in June 2003, when it entered the Sun sign of America--Cancer. The end of June saw America establish an interim government in Iraq. Bush and his cabinet dreamed that a milestone had passed and peace would settle on Iraq. Saturn soon upended dreams with reality. The violence of the Iraqi insurgency escalated instead. Bush pledged in his first term to be a uniter. After Iraq, his dream has become the Saturnian reality that Americans at home live in a national house divided into cultural and partisan camps of "blue-liberal" and "red-conservatives." Saturn here is teaching the president and other Americans that they now belong to a dis-United States.

Life under Saturn in Cancer, on the one hand, can be a time of delays and postponement and on the other, a time when confronting uncomfortable truths cannot be postponed. For instance, the Bush administration first tried to delay and finally failed to suppress the formation of the 9-11 Commission that investigated what part the administration played in the security failure that led to America's attack by terrorists on September 2001. It so happens that the 9-11 Commission began its investigation shortly after Saturn entered the ruling sign of America. Half way through Saturn's transit, the commission released its report at the worst of times for Bush, just before the presidential elections rather than after, as he desired.

At the beginning of Saturn's transit through Cancer, it began exposing other illusions in other investigations the Bush administration could no longer suppress. Chief among these was the reality that weapons of mass destruction never existed in Iraq. Thus, the grounds for going to war was an illusion. The war and the dying, and the loss of US prestige in the world is based on either sheer incompetence, or fraud. For the sake of nonexistent WMD, so far 100,000 Iraqis have paid the ultimate price. [Add to this 1,345 US, 260 Coalition forces killed, and nearly 10,000 confirmed wounded to date on 21 December]. Saturn in Cancer had exposed America's historic conceit--its rush to shoot first and check for reasons to go to war later. Soon, it may very well lose them a war they never needed to fight.

A citizenry in collective denial is another aspect of Saturn transiting through the birth sign of a nation. The people of America just did not want to deal with Iraq, with deficit spending, with a bungling presidency that let terrorists fly right in to New York skyscrapers and the Pentagon. Even those in opposition to Bush's policies did not rally behind reformers of their party. They did what people do under Saturn in Cancer, follow their leaders, follow the status quo--postpone the debate, the reform, postpone facing facts.

Because Bush will be reelected this will be a sign to the world that Americans have not learned their lesson, that unilateralism does not play well in the new global world. Saturn will push harder. The remaining seven months of its transit through Cancer will see America further isolated from the family of nations. Alliances will weaken. American troops will be virtually on their own in Iraq as it descends into civil war. The hemorrhage of outsourced American jobs will continue to bleed. Rather than lead the world in cleaning the environment, America will lead the world in destroying it, setting the stage for international sanctions against American products and polluting industries. The epicenter of global economy will continue shifting to Europe and Asia. Americans could retreat into denial under a second Bush administration, hiding in their Cancerian shells, projecting an illusion of how the world should be, and how it should give respect. They will resist facing the world as it is, or face the reality that at present they do not deserve the world's respect or its compliance.

The challenges of Saturn in Cancer on a national scale require Americans face and transcend a desire to isolate themselves as a country. Karma compels them to face their mistakes in global unilateralism and in Iraq, and take stock of delusions of conceited grandeur. Americans must also stop living in denial that their economy and democracy are in peril and in need of true reform.

The country under the transit of Saturn in Cancer suppresses a fearful, insecure and angry nation, ready to explode. If we do not find a way to creatively release this pent up frustration the explosion will come in Saturn's transit through Leo beginning in July 2005. The two-year passage could see American policy become even more bellicose, reactive and self-righteously arrogant towards other nations. A gathering economic crisis over oil will come as early as next summer (2005). The Bush administration will react rather than respond during such an emergency, becoming dictatorial. The president will widen the war on terror rather than contain it. Hubris in the White House, talking to God, will not have eyes to "see" or ears to "hear" that nuclear proliferation, like Iraq, could go out of control in the next four years. Once this window of opportunity to stave the plague of atomic weapons is closed, destiny will play itself out in nuclear bush wars with third world nuclear powers any time from late 2005 through the 2030s.

What is the president's response to this challenge? Apparently "God" has told him to scrap the ABM treaty, seriously consider ignoring nuclear test ban treaties, and embark on his own nuclear proliferation campaign. Pentagon research and development of low yield, bunker busting nukes are on the fast track in the next four years. Perhaps we will see them "tested" on the subterranean nuclear facilities of North Korea and Iran sometime after summer of 2005.

Saturn transiting Leo is often the sign for war, or a sudden escalation of current wars. There is a high chance of an Israeli-American air strike on Iran's nuclear power centers and missile defenses any time after mid-July to October of 2005. It could also come later after the mid-term US elections in November 2006 through July of 2007.

North Korea's nuclear facilities may also come under attack in the first six months of 2006. A preemptive strike on North Korea is less likely than Iran, unless Bush's higher "Father" tells him to destroy North Korea's missile bases before they can arm their warheads with atomic bombs.

American sons and daughters will be drafted to bolster occupying forces in a widening war in the Middle East no sooner than late 2005. They will go submissively the day the nation understands that the chaos in the Arab oil fields threatens to undermine oil production and the American economy. American children will go to war, not because of weapons of mass destruction, not because they are on a crusade to bring democracy to the Middle East. At last Saturn in Leo will expose the real reason why this war was forced on the American people by the Bush Administration: they believe America must control the oil regions or lose its affluent--oil effluent--way of life.

Saturn in volatile Leo wants to teach Americans a necessary lesson: Get real. Return to the path of the just. Make practical changes in domestic and global policies. American opposition leaders need to appeal to the humble angels of the American nature by the mid-term elections in 2006; otherwise, Saturn in Leo will spike national egoism breeding a rush to confrontation and disaster. Politicians running for office in 2006 should call upon the voters to return to basic American principles for justice, fair play, equal rights and representation for all. Strong third party movements, or reform movements inside the existing two-party system, may help incline America's destiny towards following an accurate American reality; namely, that we are a divided nation in need of healing. We are oil addicts that need to get clean. For instance, if Americans get real about their fossil fuel addiction, they need not send their children to stain the sands of distant oil fields with their blood. They can send them not far from home to galvanize a depressed domestic economy with a ten year plan to modernize the US infrastructure, and maximize fuel efficiency.

The people who could go to the Moon in ten years can solve problems, creating alternative energy sources for fossil fuels and break free from an addiction for Middle Eastern oil. Americans have ever redefined themselves. They can redefine their economies and redefine their American way of life once again for the better--for freedom's sake.

The right use of karmic Saturn in assertive Leo could give birth to this core change in America's destiny any time from 2005 through 2007. The wrong use of Saturn in Leo will deepen the danger of fascism at home, addiction to fossil fuels, and intensify acts of imperialism abroad. Americans could truly become for the first time, the "bad guys" in the world.

Saturn passes from Leo into Virgo in September of 2007. A majority of Americans will either throw blame or be ready to creatively "discern" what has gone wrong since the pivotal election of 2000 led them astray.

American can put aside bullying when Saturn passes through Virgo and can again become a citizen in the house of nations. To do this, enough American leaders and citizens will surely need to come to their senses in time.When the next presidential election approaches, this country could be faced with perhaps its most dire crisis to date in this young century.

At the onset of Saturn's transit through Virgo, in 2008, hotheads running the government of Taiwan will attempt to declare permanent secession from the Chinese mainland. China's leaders, they believe, must make the Summer Olympics China's international coming out party. What better time to declare independence when China would not dare invade Taiwan and risk a global boycott of the games?

I tell you, little bureaucrats of Taiwan, China will invade you nonetheless if you secede. They will do it "after" the Olympics are over in early September 2008. They will invade despite the proximity of US carriers in the Western Pacific.

They will take Taiwan back, America. Are you--should you--be ready to go to war with China over it? Shall your new Secretary of State Rice stay the hot passions of Taiwanese secessionists with tempered and skilled diplomacy before the plunge?

The future times, they "can" be a'changin', if Condi Rice, or more likely her replacement as Secretary of State in the latter half of Bush's second term, is a real diplomat and not just playing the "mouth" of Bush Corp.

During these first difficult and Saturnian years of national adolescence Americans will have fallen, stumbled and hurt themselves as a nation. These tough and necessary lessons could bring wisdom to an adolescent country. Perhaps an older-yet-wiser America may yet fulfill what Nostradamus intimated in one of his prophecies. There is an alternative future to a calamitous war "under Cancer"--the Sun sign of America. In Century 24 of Quatrain 6, Nostradamus may predict that Americans after Bush's second term could "anoint" a new leader who will "bring peace to the earth for a long time." (See the following related bulletins at: http://www.hogueprophecy.com/archiv40.htm)

The future is full of unexpected promise for this great nation. America's adolescent era may lead in 50 years to its loss of outer power and the prestige inherent in being the world's last true and global superpower. When the fires of empire vanish, America will turn within. Its grandchildren and great-grandchildren will become introspective and launch a spiritual revolution across the world.

America's greatest destiny begins in the latter half of the 21st century when it will become the cradle of a new religiousness in a New Age.

POPE'S STAND ON GENETIC RESEARCH WILL SET BACK
CURES FOR ALL ILLNESSES AND INJURIES, AND
BIOLOGICAL IMMORTALITY FOR 180 YEARS!

NOSTRADAMUS PROPHESIED THAT WHAT IS DECIDED NOW
WILL AFFECT GENERATIONS TO COME.

By Michael McClellan

Quatrain 2.27

The divine words will strike from the sky,
No one will be able to proceed any further:
The revelation -- the secret shut away,
So that they must walk over [their graves] as before.

The Pope was visibly angry at recent progress made in the field of genetics

"Everyone must die!"

THE GOSPEL OF DEATH: "The results achieved in various fields of science and technology are considered and defended by many as a priori acceptable. In this way, one ends up expecting that what is technically possible is in itself also ethically good. There is no one who does not see the dramatic and distressing consequences of such pragmatism, which perceives truth and justice as something modeled around the work of man himself. It is sufficient, as one example among others, to consider man's attempt to appropriate the sources of life through experiments in human cloning. Such science is as an example of the violence with which man tries to appropriate the truth and the just, reducing them to values that he can dispose of freely, that is, without recognizing limits of any kind if not those fixed and continually overcome by technological possibility."

August 24-25, 2004 - What is decided now will affect generations to come. It goes well beyond finding cures for Alzheimer's, MS, Parkinson's, obesity, cancer, and the regeneration of injured spinal cord tissue. The "death gene" and the "aging gene" were finally isolated a few years ago. Mammals in "old age" have been biologically regressed to the equivilent of age 25 in humans. Other animals have stopped aging after reaching their biological "peak." Our generation could be the generation that never sees biological death, save from severe physical trauma such as that caused by large explosions, airliner accidents, and catastrophic acts of Nature. Imagine, living another thousand years and more; but not just you, your entire family and all of your friends as well! TPTB, especially the Church, desire that the majority of the human race die and only an elite few benefit from genetic research (conducted in secret).

The dogma of original sin says all of us have been born in sin and must return to dust, so church leaders fear a challenge from science that could change all of that. The religion of fear -- fear of death -- keeps these people in positions of power, as it has for the last two thousand years!

Thus, as church leaders prolong the great debate, a terrible global war will break out, causing many of "the flock" and followers of other religions to die worldwide:

Quatrain 4.43

Weapons will be heard fighting in the skies:
In the same year the divine ones are enemies
They will desire unjustly to debate the holy laws
By lightning and war many believers are put to death.

Luke 17:26 --

And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man.

According to geneologies of Noah's time (from Adam to Noah), people lived between 365 to 969 years. Some hold that Enoch (365) did not die, but disappeared for a time into God's kingdom, and still lives secretly in the world today until such time as he is revealed as one of the two witnesses in Revelation.

This lengthy age of nearly 1,000 years came to end when God proclaimed in Genesis 6:3:

And God said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is indeed mortal and their days of life will be 120 years."

Afterwards, gradually, the life span of men began to shrink to 500, 400, 300 years, and so on, until the time of Moses, when the life expectancy was finally set at 120 years and less. Why men today seldom even live to 90 or 100, let alone to 120, is indeed strange.

In any event, as it was in the day of Noah, so it shall be again in the latter days. And this may well mean extremely long life spans ... something that is only possible through genetic research.

But is there such evidence in the biblical prophecies concerning an extended lifespan or near immortality in the Apocalypse era? One such prophecy bears some scrutiny:

Revelation 9:6 --

And in those days [the latter days] shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

It is not all that difficult to die. If one wants to die that badly, all he needs to do is put a gun to his brain and pull the trigger ... or jump in front of a large truck.

Yet in this verse, we are told that men will not be able to die! This hardly sounds like the current period we are living in, but the technology to make this happen is probably not too far in the future. At least biological immortality is right around the corner -- the end of aging and the end of death due to advanced aging and disease. Yet, the full import of this message is that man will be indestructable as well, which can only be true if human bodies and robotic/computer technology is capable of making cyborgs of people who have injured themselves severely. Thus, some people will be biologically ageless and others will be bionic.

So, we are now on the threshhold of longer lifespans than we can imagine. But if the Pope and leaders of the religious right have their way, this freedom from the ravages of aging, disease, and death will be postponed for many more years, centuries if possible.

Quatrain 2.45

Too much will Heaven weep about the Androgyne procreation,
Near the heavens human blood sprinkled:
Because of Death too late a great people re-created,
Late or soon comes the awaited breakthrough.

Quatrain 1.22

That which will live without any senses,
Will come to deliver mankind from death through artifice ...

Unless the attacks on genetic research, and indeed scientific progress as a whole, by organised religion does not stop, the great day when humans will be able to cure all diseases and disabilities -- and cheat death itself -- will not come until sometime during the 2180s, long after we have all turned to dust.

Quatrain 9.59 Emperor Louis and Nicol the red

At La Ferte-Vidame [NW France] he will seize,

Nicolas held, the red one who will produce the life:

The great Louis, acting secretly, one will be born,

Giving Burgundy to the Bretons through envy.

Biologically immortal humans, but not deathless

This complex quatrain tells of many events. A new character named Louis appears on the scene after the assassination of a pagan emperor, and seizes control of the government.

According to the prediction, a "red" named Nicolas -- probably a member of the Communist Party which will still hold many seats in the Council of Europe -- makes an important breakthrough in the field of biogenetics: the procreation of the first human clone not carrying a death gene. Many human beings alive at this time will benefit from the discovery. Their genetic systems will be restructured by clone DNA. Aging will stop, even reversed. Biological immortality will be achieved. However, they will not be completely deathless. People will still be capable of being killed by accidents, catastrophes, wars, murder, or execution. Later, there will be consequences which cause some to curse their immortality.

The last two lines describe one of the new emperor's heirs who will hand over the province of Burgundy to a Northern power bloc which will have control of Brittany early in the 23rd Century. Thus, Gaul will once again become partitioned into French and Belgian states, although the boundaries will not conform to the current ones.

Russia's Capabilities To Wage War On The West

Today Russia enjoys a top spot in the world's military elite. It's Spetsnaz special forces are the creme of the elite, their T-98 tanks are going to roll out of factories by 2006. Their MI-28N Night Havoc helicopter has just entered mass production, and their small arms market has grown substatially since Putin's reign in power.

But can the Russian military hope to face off against the Powers of the West? Germany, France, The UK, Japan, and the United States of America? What real hope does Russia have against the massive tank forces of the USA and Germany? Or the air superiority Norway and The UK share over the Northern Sea?

Let's look at what Russia has NOW and what it can use to wage war at this very moment. How Russia would attack, and defend herself against NATO and even the entire UN itself.

Russian military protocol involves the use of the Spetsnaz and Navy Spetsnaz before any declaration of war is ever issued against the West. The Spetsnaz range from elite soldiers in the midst of the battlefield to assassins and special operations units that destroy communications and navigation equipment before the outbreak of a conventional or thermonuclear war.

But what would the Spetsnaz attack? The Spetsnaz are a very organized group. A group in Britain could achieve an objective at the same time a group in America achieves their own, so that when one group succeeds, another does not have problems from heightened security in another.

The Spetsnaz would do this ten fold. I believe the creme of the Spetsnaz would be sent covertly (Months ahead of any war) to set up small bases in the USA. When they are notified, teams would assassinate the President, Vice President, and Head Of The House. Other teams would sabotage military bases, especially the Cheyenne Mountain complex.

Spetsnaz teams in Europe would do the same thing, killing military leaders, planting explosives in arms factories, powerplants, and killing political leaders. They would leave the West confused, most likely blaming either China or the Middle East Muslims at first.

Then the Russian Interior Spetsnaz would pore through Poland and the Baltic States ensuing havoc in the militaries and populaces. They would take part in Hit-And-Run tactics, creating confusion in the Baltic, Finnish, Norwegian, Polish, and Romanian governments ( If Romania isn't a secret puppet state of Russia, which I believe it is. Remember, treaties can be as much farces as truth. ) allowing time for the Regular Army to draw the smaller Armies in to combat. With overwhelming air support, I do not think the Russian military would face any problem. ( Hell, I believe the Spetsnaz could capture Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia themselves without air or regular army support! )

By this time, the West has mobilized it's forces. German, French, and English military units would engage combat along the German-Polish borders. The fight would be a stalemate until Russia could field larger divisions from it's Siberian forces.

Russian Surface and subsurface warships would fight a naval conflict in the Northern Sea, Seas West of Britain, and the English Channel, trying to cut off the English mainland from it's allies. ( I also hypothesize an attack on the Chunnel to stop even infantry and light artillery units from getting to France and Belgium. )

The Russian military would slowly ( And by no means Blitzkrieg. Western Europe still believes in the idea of the Static Defense doctrine, which by itself is fairly effective tactically, but not strategically. ) gnaw at the European forces, slowly breaking their lines here and there. Hamburg, and Rostock would be the first German towns and bases to be taken.

By this time the smaller European militaries have assembled their forces. Czech, Danish, Belgian, Luxembourg, and Spanish troops would arrive at the conflict, creating a larger wall for the Russian troops to break through. American troops would now be slowly pouring in.

Russia would be pushed back by this massive force. Hundreds of thousands would die on each side, Russia most likely being pushed all the way back to Warsawa, Poland. Here, a stalemate would arise.

I believe at this time an armistice would be drawn up giving Russia and The Ukraine all the territory that they had captured, considering the Allies would be too tired to continue fighting. Western Poland may even be given to Germany again, considering it IS an old provincial territory of Germany/The Holy Roman Empire and many ethnic Germans live there.

In the future, Russia will be substantially more powerful then it is now. They will most likely have more Akula-class submarines, more Sovremenny Destroyers, maybe even a new type of Carrier, like the English Invincible Class. It's Navy would be able to rival the American Naval Armed Forces once again.

Of course, it's Army would also grow. It's MI-28N Night Havoc's would be the largest helicopter force in the world. It's T-98 tanks would be able to outnumber, and squash any Western threat. The German Leopard II, French Le Clerc, British Centaurion II, and American M1A3 Abrams would pale in comparison to it. Even Russian guns would become more advanced, the AK-103 most likely drawing the days of the AK-74's days to an end in Russia.

It's Air Force would reign supreme. Russian SU-37 and S37 fighter aircraft would rule the skies. The American F22 Raptor's and other aging aircraft could not cope with the threat of higher-end Russian units taking to the skies.

But, how would Russia engage the west? Much differently than if it engaged the Western nations now. First off, the Russian Government would still employ the use of the Spetsnaz in the same tactics as I have already mentioned. But, they would most likely now have the funding to penetrate areas such as NORAD, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, and other areas around the world.

Russia would also like to use her larger and more powerful fighting force against other countries. Japan would be one nation to feel the brunt of Russian forces. Japan, being a nation of industry, is weak as it is, and it's Self-Defense force poses no threat to the larger Russian Army's stationed in Vladivostok and Keflavik. Russian armored and mechanized divisions would reach Tokyo in a matter of weaks. I believe the Japanese Self-Defense force would capitulate in the very invasion, if not before then, from the massive air strikes Russia would launch against the smaller nation.

Russia now has a more massive Army then it had back in the early 21st century. It can now use this Army to manipulate, and to slaughter, smaller European Army's. Russia, indeed, would roll right on through the unallied Eastern bloc nations, and engage German, French, English, and a whole slew of other country's militaries. ( Including US Armored Divisions stationed in Germany. )

But, Russia would not engage them in a single line. They would most likely try to trick the European force in a different manner..

Russia would field a smaller ammount of divisions in the center of the line. They would try to assault the larger European divisions, without aid of other Russian divisions. They would purposely fail, and withdraw deeper and deeper in to Polish territory. Now, the other Russian divisions would spring in to action. Hidden in an assortment of ways, two larger Russian Army's would cut across the rear of the European Army, and cut it off, effectively surrounding it. They could either assault their position, starve them out, or force them to surrender. It would be an effective way to stop any European counter-attack in to Eastern Europe, and pave the way for the Russian advance into Germany, and even France. ( This, of course, if Russia has destroyed US Satellites, and other nation's satellites. Wouldn't want the eye in the sky finding an Army of Russian troops ready to cut off the European Army. )

Russia would invade, and capture Germany, Denmark, parts of France, and parts of Italy. They would probably stop there, and give the West a chance to broker peace. I doubt the Russian Government would want the hassle of governing the rest of Europe. That, and, by now, the US might have brought up a large enough draft to bolster it's forces..

China can now, basically, can do anything in the Pacific, unchecked. Just as long as they did not engage Russian or US Warships or islands, they would be safe to expand unchecked. The Russians or the US Military's would not be capable of fighting each other, and the Chinese expansion.

China would conquer most of Southern Asia, and come close to threatening Australia. Taiwan would most likely also fall under it's iron fist.

These two nations might have joined up with their most profitable partners. India, yes, would most likely ally with Russia, her long-time buddy-in-arms. Pakistan would ally with America, and both would go at each other. ( Look at the trails of money. Pakistan wants American tanks and planes, as does India with Russian tanks and Aircraft Carriers. )

If anything, these two might fight to a stalemate, or India might just pour in to Pakistan, and conquer the smaller Arab nation. Even a small nuclear exchange between the two could happen. They're both too sporadic to know.

The Earth would be silent for decades. Everyone would be too tired to go on any further. China would come to be the antagonist, if another World War sparks. Russia and the US both would forget their differences and attack this new enemy.

Yes, I believe not a single nuke would be fired by the US, France, Britain, or Russia. Neither of the four would advance deep enough in to another's territory to spark the chance of a nuclear exchange. The fact is, America or the other nations just don't care enough for the Germans to threaten Nuclear Holocaust to save them.

I can never foresee the invasion, and capitulation of one nuclear nation with another in the future. Unless one erupts into Rebellion, and cannot control it's nuclear weapons adequetly.

AMERICA'S KARMIC ECHO:
A Return After 40 Years To Historic Lessons Unlearned
by John Hogue

Friends,
The following essay will be the main topic for my appearance on Art Bell's Coast to Coast AM radio show, Saturday night, 3 July. If you live in North America or the Caribbean, check your local syndicated Premier Radio station. You can also listen to the show anywhere in the world through internet -- see http://www.coasttocoastam.com/. I'll be on the air from 11 pm through 2 am, Pacific Standard Time.

I think you'll find it quite surprising how history from forty years ago is repeating itself today. Some elements may reverse roles and come forth in altered sequences but the "material," if you will, of karmic lessons unlearned from the Sixties have reappeared again in our time.

Countries, like individuals, face karmic lessons (i.e., lessons about actions that bring reactions for good or ill). When a lesson isn't learned, it returns in a magnified form. You might say the message echoes again, only much louder. For instance, Germany as a nation had a karmic lesson to learn concerning the self-destructive nature of their warrior culture. Germany had a bad habit to take on the world in a high-stakes gamble that either brought total victory or "Götterdämmerung" (a Teutonic version of the end of the world). Germany's defeat in World War One didn't teach them the lesson so 20 years later a far more strident echo of the self-destructive Teutonic battle fever appeared in the guise of Hitler and the Nazis. Their "Götterdämmerung" almost annihilated Germany.

You can tell a national group has learned their collective karmic lesson when they don't re-echo or recycle the lesson in 20 or 40 years. So far it would seem that Germany has learned its historical lesson. Germany has never repeated its Imperial or Hitlerian mistakes of 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.

America is also stuck in a karmic loop of unlearned historical lessons--this time coming from the 1960s. These lessons are now recycling back after 40 years. They generally concern America's descent into military adventurism after the assassination of Kennedy. What triggers the karmic "echo" is an assassination or death of a president and/or an ill-conceived, unsubstantiated reason for launching a unilateral American military adventure. These events lead to a social polarization of the country, social disorder, the disgrace and destruction of a president, followed by a his party's loss of the presidential elections. The new president is a reformer with a potential for greatness. This new president eventually brings the troops home and ends the quagmire war of the predecessor. This president also may fall from power after a landslide election for a second term because of scandals and disgrace stemming from settling scores with political enemies.

Appeared from 1960 (echoing in 2000)
to 1964 (2004) through 1968 (2008)
to 1972 (2012)

--JFK (John Fitzgerald Kennedy) was elected in the disputed presidential election of 1960 against the former two-term Republican Vice President of the Eisenhower administration, Richard Nixon. Advisers pressed Nixon to challenge the results in one disputed state (Illinois), but declined to do so because he feared it would hurt the nation.

--JFK campaigns for the presidency during the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction. Astrologers claim the conjunction influences the death or assassination of a president while in office once every 20 years since Harrison campaigned for president in 1840. Thus Harrison (1840), Lincoln (1860), Garfield (1880), Mickinley (1900), Harding (1920), Roosevelt (1940), and Kennedy (1960) have all died either in their first or second terms (in the case of Roosevelt, in his fourth term). Only Reagan (1980) has survived the curse of this conjunction, although his potential assassin wounded him seriously and Reagan nearly died.

--If Kennedy had not been assassinated and had he survived his first term he would still die in his second term. Newly disclosed medical evidence support rumors that Kennedy most likely would have died from a fatal adrenal gland malady sometime in his second term.

--President Johnson (from Texas) ascends to the White House to finish Kennedy's term. He launches his Great Society policies.

--Johnson commits America to a full scale war in Vietnam, thanks to a hasty Defense Secretary William MacNamara, who does not adequately confirm reports that North Vietnamese gunboats actually did fire on US Destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. A week after Johnson began bombing North Vietnam and landing troops in South Vietnam, MacNamara discovered that US ships in the Gulf of Tonkin were firing on each other. There was no attack from North Vietnam. This information was kept secret and the war continued in the name of larger strategic reasons--to contain the spread of communism in South East Asia.

--The Democrat controlled Congress unaware of the Gulf of Tonkin mistake until it is too late rushed to surrender their constitutional war powers to President Johnson. They scarcely debate this serious surrender of constitutional power to the executive branch from within their ranks; nor do the minority senators from the Republican party offer much opposition. The president and congressmen from both sides of the bench blindly trusted MacNamara's intelligence findings. The US Senate therefore gave Johnson carte blanche war powers in South East Asia. A young Senator Robert Byrd from West Virginia was one of them.

--Johnson's war in Vietnam doesn't undermine his presidency until after he's
reelected in 1964. After which, the Vietnam war spreads into Laos and Cambodia, riots and social polarization ensue. Johnson's Great Society policies are derailed, and he ops out of running for president for a second term. Johnson hopes that by stepping down he can save his party's hold of the White House and start the process of healing a nation torn apart by a botched war now identified with him.

--Power shifts in the 1968 election. Richard Nixon returns and wins one of the closest elections in history against Johnson's Vice President, Hubert Humphrey, with scarcely a popular vote difference of a half million.

--The Republican President, who had already spent 8 years learning the presidential trade in the Eisenhower White House, struggles with a Democrat-run House and Senate over policy. He is burdened with getting out of the Vietnam quagmire of his predecessor. Nixon is eventually successful on that front. The troops come home.

--Nixon has great success in global affairs and some success in domestic affairs. He will win a landslide election in 1972 for a second term, but his potential for greatness is undermined by his darker side. Nixon wants to take revenge on leaders of the radical Left in the Democrat Party. He approves a burglary of the Democrat Party offices at Watergate. His presidency falls because of the Watergate conspiracy and he leaves office in disgrace.

We enter the 40-year karmic echo of the 60s
from 2000 (1960) to 2004 (1964)
through 2008 (1968) to 2012 (1972).

--Republican President G.W. Bush (from Texas) is elected in a disputed election in 2000 against the former two-term "Democrat," Vice President Al Gore. Unlike Nixon, Gore heeded those encouraging him to challenge the election results in one disputed state (Florida). Many believe he hurt the nation.

--President Bush's election is confirmed and he launches the Neo-Conservative and Compassionate Conservative movement (his version of Johnson's "Great Society").

--Bush, 20 years after Reagan, is the next person campaigning for president during the transit of a Jupiter/Saturn conjunction. If he survives his first term he might die in office from violence or natural causes in his second term.

--The Democrats pit a new JFK (John Forbes Kerry) against Bush who seeks
re-election in 2004.

--Bush goes to war in Iraq based on imaginary reports issued by a hasty Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld (who by the way also slicks his hair back like MacNamara) stating that Iraq had WMD--Weapons of mass destruction--poised to strike at America.

--A "Republican" controlled Congress unaware of this mistake until it is too late rushes to surrender their constitutional war powers to President Bush with scarcely any questions or debate from the minority "Democrat" party. A majority of Senators and congressmen from both sides of the bench blindly trust the intelligence findings of their Republican President and his Secretary of Defense. They give Bush carte blanche to wage war in the Middle East region.

--An older and wiser Senator Byrd was one of the few dissenting voices, pleading with his Republican and Democrat colleagues in the Senate not to repeat the mistake of a hasty rush to war, like Vietnam, in Iraq.

--Bush's war in Iraq shows ominous signs of being a new Vietnam; however, like Johnson, the effects of the mounting quagmire in Iraq may not undermine his presidency until after he is re-elected in 2004 (in Johnson’s case 1964). After which, riots and a deepening social polarization could ensue. By his second term, a badly botched war in Iraq could undermine Bush's Neo-Conservative movement and Compassionate Conservative policies. A full-scale quagmire in Iraq might spread the war across the Middle East (as the Vietnam War spread into Cambodia and Laos 40 years before).

--Unlike Johnson, Bush cannot (will not) op out of running for a second term as president. So, if the echoing tragedy of the Johnson presidency derailed over an illegitimate war resounds today, Bush will have to leave office in his second term over Iraq--or worse.

--The Jupiter-Saturn curse could see another acting president die in the White House, such as JFK before. If Bush doesn't die in office, impeachment is also possible. Bush, unlike Johnson, cannot avoid such a disgrace. He might be pressured to step down from office as a gesture to heal a nation torn apart over "his" version of Vietnam in Iraq.

--In 2008, a "Nixonian" Democrat wins one of the closest elections in history against Bush's (or President Cheney's) Vice President with scarcely a difference of 500,000 popular votes.

--This Democrat president, (who spent 8 years learning "her" presidential trade in the Clinton White House) struggles with a Republican-run House and Senate over policy.

--"She" is burdened with getting out of the Iraq quagmire of "her" predecessor. This "Nixon"/Hillary Clinton is eventually successful. The troops come home. She wins a landslide election for a second term in 2012.

--"She" also has great success in global affairs and some in domestic affairs, but "her" potential for greatness is undermined by her darker side. She wants to get even with her "Right Wing" enemies who conspired to undermine her husband's presidency.

--If she doesn't learn the lessons of Nixon, her presidency could fall by way of another Watergate conspiracy, or a conundrum caused by the "First Gentleman"--her husband Bill Clinton--and she leaves office in disgrace.

Will History repeat itself? Only if we don't learn our lessons. Thus, America will go through something like this again in the 2040s and each time the echo of karma is much worse than the last.

PS--My next bulletin will explain why G. W. Bush will win reelection in 2004 and perhaps I'll include an update of Nostradamus' prophecies for the Iraq war as seen after the much ballyhooed US transfer of political power to the Iraqi provisional government by 30 June 2004.
