Huge Volcanic
Eruption in Japan and Great Tokyo Earthquake Kills Thousands,
Possibly Millions
NEW
PREDICTION: 11/26/14 -- DESCRIPTION: 8/24/15:
Base 7 dating:January 2016 or March 2018.
There are two
base 7 datings for this event: January 2016 or March 2018; the 2018 dating has
significantly more danger attached to it. If Edgar Cayce's vision
of most of Japan going into the sea is ever going to happen due
to natural earth changes events (and not due to an extraordinary
cosmic agent like Planet X), it will require more than a large
earthquake and tsunami to accomplish this feat.
The January 2016 vector is based on the Kobe
Earthquake precedent from January 1995,
twenty-one (3 x 7) years ago, which killed 6,400 people. The March 2018 vector, of course, is based on the March
2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, what will be
seven years earlier by 2018, which killed 15,891 and injured
6,152, with another 2,584 missing ... an event that was
accurately predicted on this website ... even the 9.0 magnitude
was correct. At that time, and for the next six weeks, there were
between 20,000 and 30,000 views on this site every single day.
Not since 9/11 in 2001 and the death of Pope John Paul II in 2005
had there been so much traffic, nor has there been ever since.
If there is an earthquake in January 2016, it will likely not be as large as the
2011 event, possibly a magnitude 7.0 but certainly not above an
8.0. Most likely closer to 7.0. Of course, if any of the
volcanoes are set off, especially the Kyushu Volcano,
this could quickly turn into an apocalyptic natural disaster ..
one perhaps never before seen.
(CNN) Aftershocks
could continue to shake the Japanese coast for days, the
United States Geological Survey says, after a
6.9-magnitude earthquake struck off Honshu early Tuesday
morning.
Three
people had been reported injured as a result of the
quake, police told CNN, while a tsunami advisory was
still in effect for Japan's Fukushima and Miyagi
Prefectures at 11 a.m. local time on Tuesday.
The
earthquake struck in the same area as the devastating
9.0-magnitude earthquake in 2011 -- one of the worst ever
to hit Japan -- which killed more than 20,000 people and
triggered a meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
plant.
But USGS
geophysicist Jessica Turner told CNN the earthquake had
been much smaller than the disaster five years ago.
"It
is much smaller in magnitude and energy release than the
9.0-magnitude that occurred in March of 2011 ... we can
expect to see aftershocks for the next several days (but)
it's hard to predict," she said.
Tuesday's
quake struck 37 kilometers (23 miles) east-southeast of
Namie at a depth of 11.4 kilometers (7 miles). Eight
aftershocks of at least magnitude 5.4 were recorded
within five hours of the initial quake.
Tsunami
warnings were immediately issued for waves of 1 to 3
meters (3 to 10 feet), and soon after some were spotted
off the coast, according to the Japanese Meteorological
Agency.
Of prime
concern was the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
plant.
A cooling
pump system was temporarily stopped after the quake but
soon resumed operation, a spokesman for the Tokyo
Electric Power Company Inc. (TEPCO) told CNN. No
abnormalities or change in radiation levels were
reported.
University
of Sydney Disaster Risk Management Expert Dale
Dominey-Howes told CNN Tuesday's earthquake would be
devastating for the mental health of survivors still
recovering from the 2011 event.
"The
simple reality is that the survivors from 2011 haven't
gone back to normal, they're basically living as
displaced people in camps in various locations around
central Japan," he said.
Small tsunamis
reach Japan
Video on
social media from Onahama, on the coast of Fukushima
Prefecture, featured sounds of sirens in response to the
tsunami warning.
Images of
the port showed waves that the broadcaster described as
"backwash" that happens before a tsunami hits
shore.
The first
tsunami wave reached the coast at Iwaki-shi in Fukushima
Prefecture at 6:29 a.m. local time. The largest, a
1.4-meter tsunami, was observed in Sendai, Miyagi
Prefecture, at 8:03 a.m. according to Japanese
broadcaster NHK.
NHK urged
the public to evacuate, cautioning that even if waves
appear low in the ocean they can rise as they reach
shore. The broadcaster reminded people to dress warmly in
the cold rain and urged them to help others
leave."Please do not think that you are safe. Please
evacuate to high grounds," the network said.
"Please think about the worst-case scenario and
evacuate right away."
Earthquake
felt in Tokyo
The
tremors could be felt as far Tokyo, where American
businessman Jonathan Swanson was having breakfast in a
hotel and catching up on e-mail. "Suddenly I
felt disoriented," he told CNN's Michael Holmes.
Doors
started to swing on cabinets and sliding doors started to
move. He realized what was happening."You could feel
the building really swaying back and forth for at least a
couple of minutes. It was pretty scary."
Swanson is
from San Francisco and has felt his share of tremors over
the years.
"But this was significantly bigger than
anything I felt in San Francisco ... this was just more
extended. The swaying was significantly more than I'd
ever felt."
COMMENTS (11/21/16):
I doubt the momentum since April is going to stop. If 2011 is the
sign of things yet to come, March 2018, possibly late 2017, will see the event that may destroy Tokyo and
possibly submerge the island of Japan as prophesied by Edgar
Cayce. This quake is a continuation of the prediction that
resulted in the April 2016 quake.
By Don Melvin, Greg Botelho, Ray Sanchez and
Yoko Wakatsuki, CNN

0417 GMT (1117 HKT) April 16, 2016
Tokyo,
Japan (CNN) — Rescue crews scrambled through rubble
Saturday in a race against time for survivors of a
magnitude-7.0 earthquake that struck
Japan's Kyushu Island, the same region rattled by a 6.2
quake two days earlier. The death toll in the Kyushu
earthquake rose to 19 people, according to Kumamoto
Prefecture's disaster management office.
The
earthquake toppled buildings and shredded structures into
pile of debris. At least 23 people were buried inside
buildings, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said.
TV Asahi showed crews crawling over a collapsed roof in
an attempt to find an elderly couple. An 80-year-old man
was pulled from the rubble, TV Asahi said.
The
tremors appear to have caused extensive
damage, overturning cars, splitting roads and triggering
a landslide as shown by TV Asahi footage.
The area was rocked by as many as 165
aftershocks, some of them as strong as
magnitude-5.3 struck in the hours after the quake.
Television images showed mostly desolate streets, shards
of broken glass on the streets and people huddled
outside.
Japan's
Fire and Disaster Management Agency said 7,262
people have sought shelter at 375 centers
since Friday in Kumamoto Prefecture. Suga said 20,000
self-defense forces are being deployed to the region for
rescue efforts.
Japan's
"Ring of Fire"
The U.S.
Geological Survey reported that the latest quake struck
just west-southwest of Kumamoto-shi and about 8 miles
south-southeast of Ueki, the epicenter of the late
Thursday tremor that left nine dead.
"No
question, this is a large and very important
earthquake," said Doug Given, a
geophysicist with the USGS. "And it will
do a lot of damage." Given noted:
"The four islands of Japan are on the edge of what's
traditionally been known as the 'Ring of Fire'" -- a
stretch along parts of the Pacific Ocean prone to
volcanoes and earthquakes.
Victor
Sardina, a geophysicist in Honolulu, Hawaii, told CNN
that the latest quake was about 30 times more
powerful than Thursday's deadly tremor. He
predicted "severe, serious implications
in terms of damage and human losses."
The
shallow depth of the quake -- about 10 kilometers, or 6
miles -- and the densely populated area where it struck could
prove to be devastating, according to
experts.
The quake
prompted the Japan Meteorological Agency to issue a
tsunami advisory for coastal regions of
Japan on the Ariake Sea and Yatsushiro Sea around 2 a.m.
Saturday (1 p.m. ET Friday). The agency subsequently
lifted all tsunami warnings and advisories.
Japanese
media reported a small scale eruption of Mt.
Aso around 8:30 a.m. local time Saturday.
It was unclear whether the eruption occurred in relation
to the earthquake, according to the Japan's
meteorological agency.
'Buildings
were swaying and cracking'
"This
looks like it's going to be a very damaging earthquake. I
think we can expect that this is going to be far
worse" than Thursday's tremor, said Tom Jordan,
director of the Southern California Earthquake Center.
In short
video posted to Instagram, people standing in the parking
lot of a 7-Eleven in Kumamoto let out screams following
an aftershock.
Journalist
Mike Firn in Tokyo told CNN he felt the trembles in a
building some 900 kilometers, or more than 550 miles away
from the epicenter. "The building started
shaking," he said. "It was swaying quite
strongly for over a minute. ... Buildings were swaying
and cracking."
The latest
tremor suggests that the earthquake on
Thursday was a foreshock, though USGS
expert cautioned "that's not to say that
the Earth can't produce a bigger earthquake still to
follow. But statistically, it's more likely
that this latest event will be followed by aftershocks,
which are all smaller."
Prime
Minister on the way to the site
Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe will visit the earthquake-hit area in
Kumamoto prefecture later Saturday, he said at a meeting
at emergency response headquarters in Tokyo. "I
would like to see the site with my own eyes and hear from
the victims directly," Abe said. Search crews were
continuing to dig through rubble looking for other people
trapped under collapsed buildings.
The
Thursday quake struck near Ueki, the U.S. Geological
Survey said. Dozens of smaller aftershocks followed.
"The ground shook for about 20 seconds before the
6.2-magnitude quake stopped," witness Lim Ting Jie
had said.
Two deaths
occurred in Mashiki, the Kumamoto prefecture office said.
One person died in a collapsed house, and the other died
in a fire caused by the quake. Journalist Mike Fern told
CNN that scores of buildings had either collapsed or
caught fire, while the tremors triggered landslides, tore
up roads and in one case, derailed a bullet train. Nearly
800 people were injured, 50 severely. The prefecture
office said 44,449 people had been evacuated.
Baby
pulled from rubble after earlier quake
Japan had
already been coping with a previous earthquake on Kyushu
island on Thursday. During the search and recovery effort
for the first earthquake, rescuers found an 8-month-old
baby girl alive in the ruins of a home destroyed by the
earlier quake on Japan's Kyushu island.
Rescuers
had been told there was a baby inside the collapsed
house, but aftershocks from the quake prevented the use
of heavy equipment at the site. After six hours after the
infant was trapped, she was pulled from the rubble early
Friday. "It was miracle she was unharmed," said
Hidenori Watanabe, a spokesman for the Kumamoto Higashi
fire department.
Fifty
rescuers -- wearing dark uniforms and white hard-hats
with lights -- scoured the large pile of rubble that just
hours before had been a home. The infant's mother and
grandmother had managed to escape. The little girl was
finally found safe amid the debris in a space under one
of the house's pillars, according to Watanabe. This
happened in the middle of the night, in an area lit only
by spotlights. Carefully, rescuers passed the barefooted
baby to one another, before she finally got to crews on
the ground and was taken swiftly away.
A
high-risk area
The
largest recorded quake to hit Japan came on March 11,
2011, when a magnitude-9.0 quake centered 231 miles (372
kilometers) northeast of Tokyo devastated the country.
That quake triggered a massive tsunami that swallowed
entire communities in eastern Japan. It caused
catastrophic meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
power plant.
The
disaster killed about 22,000 people -- almost 20,000 from
the initial quake and tsunami, and the rest from health
conditions related to the disaster.
Jie said
Thursday's quake gave him a new appreciation for life.
"This experience has helped me to treasure my family
members and relatives even more, and not take what I have
and the people who support me for granted."
Tokyo
(CNN) — At least nine people died when an earthquake
struck Japan late Thursday, the Kumamoto Prefecture
disaster management office said. Search crews scrambled
to dig through rubble in southern Japan, looking for
people trapped under collapsed buildings.
The
magnitude-6.2 quake struck near Ueki, the U.S. Geological
Survey said. Dozens of smaller aftershocks followed.
"The ground shook for about 20 seconds before the
6.2-magnitude quake stopped," witness Lim Ting Jie
said.
Two deaths occurred in Mashiki, the Kumamoto
Prefecture office said. One person died in a collapsed
house, and the other died in a fire caused by the quake.
At least 135 people were hospitalized in Kumamoto, city
officials said.
Gen Aoki, director of the Japan
Meteorological Agency's earthquake division, warned more
aftershocks could occur over the next week. "This is
an earthquake that is going to shake for a long
time," CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said. That could
mean many more building collapses.
"The buildings that were damaged in the
original shock have now been redamaged or reshaken,"
he said. "And all of a sudden you have a cracked
building, and it wants to fall down with the second
shake."
Huge impact
An estimated 750,000 people felt
"violent to severe shaking," Myers said.
"The strongest shaking was right where the most
people live" in the area, he said.
While the magnitude might not seem extreme,
the shallow depth of the quake -- just 10 kilometers (6.2
miles) -- is significant.
"When you have a shallow earthquake,
such as this one is, you have the potential for more
damage because the shaking is close to the surface,"
John Bellini of the U.S. Geological Survey said. In
addition to destroying 19 houses, the quake hurled items
off store shelves and littered streets with rubble.
But there's one bit of good news: The quake
was centered mostly under land, not an ocean, meaning it
did not spawn a major tsunami ...
COMMENTS (4/16/16):
Looks like the 7.0 quake is going to be another Kobe ... and that
was a really bad one. As I say in my closing remarks in the text
of the prediction: "If there is an earthquake in January 2016, it will likely not be as large as the
2011 event, possibly a magnitude 7.0
but certainly not above an 8.0. Most likely closer to
7.0." The quake comes three months later, in April
2016.
I suppose the question currently
has an unknown answer: how bad will the casualties of this second
more powerful quake be? And will there be any stronger quakes
than 7.0? Probably not, but hard to say. If not than one must
watch out for the 2018 vector: the seventh anniversary of the
March 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami.
Keep an eye on volcanic activity as well; a volcano did erupt
during the 7.0 quake: Mt. Aso. That proves that earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions can be linked together ... including in the
western United States.
This is a fulfillment that is
still developing. But it is at least a PARTIALLY
FULFILLED PREDICTION
... I was right at least about this being another event like the
1995 Kobe Earthquake it would appear.
Edgar
Cayce, from reading 3976-15 ~
“The
greater portion of Japan must go into the sea ..."
Unprecedented
Flooding or Destruction in Northern Europe
Edgar
Cayce ~
A
part of northern Europe will disappear in the twinkling of an
eye.
NEW
PREDICTION: 11/26/14 -- DESCRIPTION: 8/28/15:
Base 7 dating:January 2016.
There are
conflicting prophecies concerning the fate of northern Europe.
Some describe a colossal flood that covers the land on both sides
of the North Sea, all the way down to the Alps. Others suggest
that northern Europe (specifically Scandinavia and Finland) will
either sink like Atlantis or simply blink out of existence for
mysterious reasons. According to Edgar Cayce, the fate of
northern Europe seems linked in time to the sinking of most of
Japan.
Six years ago,
when the Norway Spiral appeared, I concluded that the Large
Hadron Collider at CERN, which had been fired up at the same
exact time as the spiral was sighted, was the cause. I continued
to speculate that the power of the LHC would be sufficient to
open the gateway to the dimension where the Nephilim race known
as the Gibborim have been imprisoned (according to legend, since
the time of Alexander the Great).
Here are some
excerpts from my article, "THE
BLUE LIGHT OVER NORWAY AND STRANGE CREATURES IN OUR MIDST: Is the
Time of Androgyne at Hand?,"which
is still located at Nostradamus NOW:
"As if the LHC is
not enough reason to worry, according to letters from a Norwegian politician, one whose identity was
verified but kept anonymous for his own personal safety by Project Camelot, what he calls
"alien technology" has been in use for a number of
years by the Norwegian government in underground bases built
to protect select citizens from Planet X ... He claims this
strange technology is run by "some kind of blue crystal
energy" which is created by "large purple-blue
crystals emitting a purple-bluish light."
Once again I
must ask, do these Norwegian technicians thoroughly
understand the technology they are using? This
mysterious blue spiral light did, after all, appear over
NORWAY!
How about this
brief prophecy from Edgar Cayce: "A
part of northern Europe will disappear in the twinkling of an
eye."
Note
that Cayce says "a part" of northern Europe will
disappear quite suddenly. That "part" could
largely, or in the main, be the nation of Norway.
One can easily imagine Norway going the way of Atlantis under
the purple-blue glow of an ancient technology lighting up the
night sky, destroying the entire land mass in literally
minutes or seconds (the final deluge that swallowed Atlantis
was said to last merely an hour) ...
Was the
spiralling light in the sky a portal of some type ... a gate?
There is a prophecy concerning "the North" where
the last of the creatures we shall discuss manage to break
through in large numbers ... and it would appear that a few
of these creatures have appeared in our space and time
already.
Therefore,
attend this next ancient prophecy well, for it speaks about
"the gates of the North" (and Norway, along with
Russia, is certainly one of the best countries to associate
with the North), and what will come though the northern
portal. Remember, Norway is only across the North Sea from
where CERN operates. Also, do not forget that the Norwegians
are experimenting with an "alien technology" that
was not created by humans.
Saint
Methodius (4th century) ~
The
"Gates of the North" will be opened and the
strength of those peoples which Alexander shut up there will
go forth.
The whole earth will be terrified at the sight of them; men
will be afraid and flee in terror to hide themselves in
mountains and caves and graves. They will die of fright and
very many will be wasted with fear.
There will be no one to bury the bodies.
The
tribes which will go forth from the North will eat the flesh
of men and will drink the blood of beasts like water.
They will eat unclean serpents, scorpions, and every kind of
filthy and abominable beast and reptile which
crawls upon the earth. They will consume the dead bodies of
beasts of burden and even women’s
abortions. They will slay the young and take them from their
mothers and eat them. They will
corrupt the earth and contaminate it. No one will be able to
stand against them.
I don't know
about you, but these invaders who infiltrate the north gate
or portal and cause great fear and terror, consuming the
flesh of men, women and children, as well as eating
abortions, do not sound at all like human beings. Indeed,
they sound more like creatures known collectively asthe
gibborim [spelling from article is
corrected here].
I will now
propose the following: every time the HLC has been turned on,
something not of our world or our space-time has slipped
through. Even if the rift was invisible to human eyes and not
as spectacular as the Norway event, it appears things
that do not belong here have come though and have been seen
and interacted with."
And from the
same page, from my article "Two Major Prophecies by Nostradamus and
Edgar Cayce Have Been Fulfilled: Is It Now Time to Worry?," the following excerpt
(which I think ties the fates of northern Europe and Japan
together):
Edgar
Cayce, from reading 3976-15 ~
“The
greater portion of Japan must go into the sea ..."
This is
exactly what Edgar Cayce said about Japan. It is not a lot,
but it can mean more than one thing.
I draw
everyone's attention to the word "must."
Why must a large portion of Japan go into the sea?
Is this by divine authority? Or does it mean something else?
Also, "The
greater portion of Japan..."
Note that
Cayce does not say all of Japan goes under the sea,
but only a portion of it. What does he mean by "go
into the sea?"
We get images
of something like the sinking of Atlantis
when we read this. Unless more earthquakes and tsunamis are
to follow ... so that the "GREATER portion of
Japan" is affected.
Tokyo really
felt this one, a 7.4 magnitude [aftershock], and there are
casualties being reported, although small at this time (three
dead, 140 injured). One can see the skyscrapers swaying and a
strange blue flash of light on the horizon. It makes me think
of the legend of how Atlantis was destroyed in stages, by
storm and deluge, but also by their own
technology. Tales of strange blue
and purple lightning flashes are part of the Atlantean
destruction legend. In addition to the huge
tsunami that followed the initial March earthquake, the
explosions at the four nuclear power plants, their partial
meltdowns, radiation leakages, and poisoning of food and
water, rolling blackouts, and more terrifying quakes all
contribute to a truly apocalyptic picture of an island nation
going to its destruction in stages like Atlantis.
Natural
disaster, technological Atlantean catastrophe, or supernatural
beings invading through an interdimensional rift? Or all three?
The base 7 system suggests that a part of northern Europe (or
possibly only Norway?) and the greater part of Japan both may
cease to exist in the very near future. The first pending window
of opportunity can be as early as January 2016 with a second one (for
Japan) as late as March 2018. Of course if the fates of
Japan and Norway are linked, then March 2018may be applicable to northern Europe as well.
Thousands Die
During Massive Earthquake in Morocco
NEW
PREDICTION: 11/26/14 -- DESCRIPTION: 2/18/16:
Base 7 dating:January 2016.
This is a late
post since January has already come and gone. But a lot of times
in the past earthquake projections have been late by three or
four months; once one was late by 18 months. Also, it works the
other way, and they can be anywhere from a few months to a year
early. That is much more rare though. If it happens, we will know
it .. and it will be bad.
MADRID, Feb. 22, 2016 (Xinhua) --
The Spanish enclave of Melilla and the northern coast of
Morocco were shaken by a magnitude-5.1
earthquake in the early hours of Monday
morning, according to Spanish seismological authorities.
The quake,
happened at 4:46 a.m. local time (0346 GMT) and had its
epicenter in the Alboran sea, is 74 kilometers off the
coast of Melilla and the Moroccan city of Alhuecemas. The
first quake was followed by two aftershocks measuring 4.6
and 2.0 on the Richter Scale.
The tremor
was also felt on the other side of the Mediterranean in
Spanish provinces of Malaga, Granada and Almeria.
Although emergency services have reported receiving
around a dozen calls, authorities have reported the
quake, which happened at a depth of 10 kilometers, caused
no serious damage and schools would be open as usual.
This quake
follows an anterior quake measuring 6.3 on
the Richter Scale, which killed a young boy
in Morocco and injured more than 20 people in Melilla on
January 25.
The area
of Melilla and the south-east of Spain is a center of
seismic activity as it is on the boundary of the African
and Eurasian plates. In May 2011, a quake caused nine
deaths in the Spanish city of Lorca.
The 2011
quake, measuring 5.1 on the Richter Scale, was far more
destructive given that its epicenter was just 1 km below
the surface, whereas Monday's tremor was 10 km
underground.
A 6.3-magnitude
earthquake struck in the Mediterranean
early on Monday, causing some material damage in southern
Spain and northern Morocco,
although no deaths or injuries were reported. The quake
occurred at 5:22 a.m. Central European Time, about 100
miles southeast of Gibraltar and about 40 miles north of
the Moroccan city of Al Hoceima, where an earthquake left
hundreds dead 12 years ago.
The quake
hit at a depth of about 20 miles and was registered with
a preliminary magnitude of 6.1 by the United States
Geological Survey, but that assessment was raised by
Spain’s national geographical institute. The first
quake was followed by another, with a magnitude of 5.3,
as well as by several smaller aftershocks.
Spanish
national television showed panicked people on the streets
in coastal cities in southern Spain as well as in
Melilla, a Spanish enclave within Morocco.
Television reports showed people surveying
cracked building facades, but the regional government of
Andalusia, in southern Spain, issued a statement saying
that there had been no reports of casualties. The tremors
were felt as far inland as Seville, the capital of
Andalusia.
In February 2004, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake
near Al Hoceima killed 631 people. The last major
earthquake in Spain, in 2011, destroyed much of the town
of Lorca, in the southeast, and killed nine people.
COMMENTS (2/23/16):
Well, once again I wasn't informed of an event I predicted when
it happened or soon after. I am of course referring to the 6.3
earthquake that caused damage in both Spain and Morocco on
January 25. True, it was still on the top of the page simply as a
title: "Thousands
Die During Massive Earthquake in Morocco." Yes, I
realize thousands did not die. Still, it had been there since I
posted it on November 26, 2014 ... 14 months it sat up there, and
sat there still afterwards until I brought it here and made a
more formal posting of it on February 18, 2016. It qualifies as a
PREDICTION
PARTIALLY FULFILLED since there were no casualties.
However, it
appears the seismic activity that caused the 6.3 magnitude quake
last month is still ongoing. Indeed, there is an ALERT
in place in Melilla and the northern coast of Morocco at this
very moment. So the danger is not over yet and something much
worse could still happen.
Erdogan and Putin
Warn Israel to Cease Aggressions in Gaza, Lebanon, Golan, Sinai,
Iraq, and Syria
NEW
PREDICTION: 11/20/14 -- It is conceivably possible that
at this point, there is simply just another Israeli-Gaza
War and perhaps even another in Lebanon
due to attacks from Hezbollah. But I suspect Bashar
al-Assad or Islamic State (or both)
will be creating problems for Israel as well: terrorism from ISIL
and missile and rocket attacks against cities like Tel Aviv from
Syria. There may even be a large armed incursion of the Golan
Heights by Syria's military ... and an attempt to reclaim
the territory. Whatever territories are being bombarded by
Israel, whether in Lebanon, Gaza, Golan, inside the Syrian
border, in the Syriac-Iraqi region now claimed by Islamic State,
or the Sinai, will be condemned by many nations for the large
loss of life and destruction of property. Imagine the Gaza
conflict of a few months ago occurring in all these regions.
In January 2016, Turkish
President Recep Erdogan and Russian President
Vladimir Putin will hold a joint conference, publically
comdemning Israel for these massive air strikes, warning that
they may face possible combined military attacks from both Turkey
and Russia. Iran and Azerbaijan may also pledge to
assist the Turks and Russians. Israel will respond
negatively to these threats, reminding Erdogan and Putin about
their ability to carry out the dreaded "Samson
Option." Not deterred, Putin and Erdogan remind Israel
that time is not on their side, and to cease hostilities
immediately, making bleak assessments for possible all-out war by
spring.
Huge Chemical
Attacks in Syria and Iraq; Nato Mulls Invasion
NEW
PREDICTION: 9/29/13 -- Base 7 dating: March 2016.
Now finally the
US and Nato will find a reason to intervene in Syria's civil war:
chemical weapons attacks will spread into Iraq from Syria,
killing many thousands. But it will probably take something in
addition to that to provoke a US or Nato action, like the nuking
of NYC.

reports of a suspected chemical attack in northwestern
Syria that killed scores of civilians, with one UK
official suggesting the incident amounted to a war crime.
Activists said the Syrian regime was responsible for the
killings of at least 70 people -- 10 children among the
dead -- leading the United Nations to replace a scheduled
Security Council session for Wednesday morning with an
emergency meeting.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's military denied using
chemical weapons and blamed rebels for the carnage.
Russia, Syria's strong ally, said it had no warplanes in
the vicinity.
But from Washington to London to Jerusalem, leaders
denounced the reported airstrike, which if proven true
would be one of the deadliest chemical attacks in Syria
in years.
"Today's chemical attack in Syria against innocent
people, including women and children, is reprehensible
and cannot be ignored by the civilized world," US
President Donald Trump said, adding that he thinks the
attacks was a consequence of the past administration's
weakness and irresolution. "President Obama said in
2012 that he would establish a 'red line' against the use
of chemical weapons and then did nothing."
UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, speaking at a news
conference with his German counterpart, had harsh
criticism of the Syrian government.
"If this were to be proved to have been committed by
the Assad regime then it would be another reason to think
they are an absolutely heinous outfit, that is, it is a
war crime," he said.
International condemnation
An emergency UN Security Council session has been
scheduled for Wednesday morning, according to US
Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley. French Foreign Minister
Jean-Marc Ayrault, who called for the meeting, described
the attack as a "despicable act."
The United States, United Kingdom and France ?have
circulated a resolution at the Security Council regarding
the attack. It could be put to a vote.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote a series
of tweets, saying in one: "There's no, none, no
excuse whatsoever for the deliberate attacks on civilians
and on children, especially with cruel and outlawed
chemical weapons."
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called on Russia and
Iran "to exercise their influence over the Syrian
regime" and said that the two nations "bear
great moral responsibility for these deaths."
UK Prime Minister Theresa May said she was appalled by
the attack.
"I am very clear that there can be no future for
Assad in a stable Syria, which is representative of all
the Syrian people," May said, "and I call on
all of the parties involved to ensure that we have a
transition away from Assad."
Doctor cannot shake horrible sights
Airstrikes hit the rebel-held city of Khan Sheikhoun in
Idlib province on Tuesday morning, giving off a
"poisonous gas," according to Anas al-Diab, an
activist with the Aleppo Media Center.
Many casualties were the result of asphyxiation, doctors
said. Videos on social media purporting to be from the
scene show people, including children, who appear
unresponsive; others struggle to breathe or wear oxygen
masks.
A doctor in a hospital close to Khan Sheikhoun told CNN:
"Today around 7:30 a.m., about 125 ... arrived to
our hospital. Twenty-five of them were already dead, 70%
to 80% of the wounded people were kids and women.
"The symptoms were pale skin, sweating, narrow or
pin-eye pupils, very intense respiratory detachments.
Those symptoms match the usage of sarin."
The doctor, who cannot be named for security reasons,
said tests were needed to identify whether sarin gas, a
man-made nerve agent, was to blame.
Dr. Fares al-Jundi rushed to the hospital. He estimated
there were 500 wounded people. They covered the floors of
the entire hospital, from the patients' rooms to the
operating rooms and the corridors.
The doctor said whole families were killed. They died of
asphyxiation; foam covered their mouths. Many died
suddenly, he said. "I believe this horrible memory
will stay with me for the rest of my life."
Chaos, confusion at the scene
Hadi al Abdullah, a citizen journalist, arrived at the
scene two hours after he says a single gas rocket hit the
town.
Abdullah, who had common side effects of a nerve gas
attack -- blurred vision, a splitting headache and
lethargy -- told CNN the scene was chaos. Families died
in their homes, and in the streets, children risked
exposure looking for their parents.
At first, people were unaware it was a gas attack,
Abdullah said. People who rushed to help others were
overtaken by the gas, including several White Helmets,
who had to be rescued by others from the group, also
known as the Syrian Civil Defense.
The Aleppo Media Center put the death toll at 70 but
there were different numbers from other groups. The
UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at
least 58 were dead, including 10 children. The High
Negotiations Committee, an umbrella opposition group,
said as many as 100 died.
Syrian military denies responsibility
The Syrian army "categorically denies the use of
chemical and poisonous material in Khan Sheikhoun,"
the General Command said in a statement.
"The Syrian army holds the terrorist groups and
those supporting them responsible for the use of chemical
and poisonous material and for the careless wasting of
innocent civilians' lives to achieve their despicable
goals and agendas," the statement said.
In an apparent reference to the crisis, two state-run
Syrian media outlets earlier reported an explosion at a
"rebel poison gas factory" in the countryside
of Idlib province, implying that it was an accident
related to rebels building chemical weapons. Idlib
province is largely controlled by an alliance of rebel
forces and is regularly targeted in airstrikes by the
Syrian military and its ally, Russia.
The Russian Defense Ministry said none of its jets
carried out airstrikes in the area, according to a
ministry statement carried by state-run news agency Tass.
The Syrian Coalition, an umbrella opposition group,
referred to the suspected chemical attack as a
"crime similar to that in Eastern Ghouta in 2013
that the international community allowed to pass without
accountability or punishment."
The tweet was in reference to a 2013 chemical attack on
the Damascus suburb of Ghouta, which was blamed on the
Syrian regime and prompted US President Barack Obama to
threaten military action.
If reports
of a chemical attack by the regime are confirmed, experts
say it could be the biggest since Ghouta.
McCain: Assad must pay a price
Sen. John McCain called for President Donald Trump to
send a strong signal to Assad that the attack will not be
tolerated.
Referring to the 2013 chemical attack,
McCain told CNN: "We've seen this movie before, it
was when Barack Obama said they would have a red line,
they crossed it and he did nothing. Bashar Assad and his
friends, the Russians, take note of what Americans
say."
The Ghouta attack prompted Obama to ask Congress to
authorize military action against Syria in 2013. Shortly
after, Syria agreed to a Russian proposal to give up
control of its chemical weapons, leading Obama to retreat
from threats of military action.
Analyst: Regime may increase attacks
Haid Haid, a Syrian columnist and researcher, told CNN
that he thinks the United States is "not interested
in any way challenging the rule of Assad."
"The regime has been systematically using small
scale (chemical) attacks over a long time in order to
normalize the use of those attacks," said Haid, an
associate fellow at Chatham House, an international
policy think tank based in London.
"Once the regime is sure that the attacks won't
trigger any sort of reaction from the international
community, I believe the regime will start increasing
those attacks."
Since the civil war began in 2011, an estimated 400,000
Syrians have been killed, according to figures issued by
the United Nations last year.

THE HUGE CHEMICAL
ATTACKS IN 2 SYRIAN CITIES: WILL NATO NATIONS RETURN?
(CNN)
— Two chemical gas attacks have been reported in
northern Syria, one in the region where a Russian
helicopter was downed a day earlier, killing all five
people on board.
In the
first alleged attack, cylinders suspected of containing
chlorine gas were dropped in residential areas in the
city of Saraqeb in Idlib province, the anti-regime,
voluntary search-and-rescue group Idlib Civil Defence
said in a post on its Facebook page.
Russia,
Syria's key military backer, has vehemently denied that a
chemical attack took place. In a news release carried by
Russian and Syrian state news agencies, Kremlin spokesman
Dmitry Peskov said the claims of chlorine usage were
fabricated by the media.
The United
States is not ready to officially call the incident in
Saraqeb a chemical attack, but there is growing
confidence that is what happened, a senior U.S. official
told CNN on Tuesday evening. U.S. officials think
chlorine was likely used, the source said. Evidence
points to the Assad regime because the attack came from
the sky and the opposition doesn't have any aircraft, the
source added.
In the
second alleged incident, the Syrian government claimed
that "terrorist groups" carried out a gas
attack that killed five people in the old town of the
besieged city of Aleppo on Tuesday afternoon, according
to the state-run news agency SANA. "Five civilians
were killed and eight others suffered suffocation due to
a terrorist attack with shells containing poisonous
gas," the city's health director Mohamad Hazouri
told SANA, which reported two others were killed and 17
others injured in separate terrorist attacks in the city
Tuesday. Aleppo is about 50 kilometers (31 miles)
northeast of Saraqeb.
Reports of
the alleged chemical attacks came as a CNN stringer in
rebel-held eastern Aleppo said intense airstrikes and
artillery assaults were underway in the area, the
fiercest bombardment in the five years of the conflict,
he said. The assault was a counteroffensive from Syrian
regime forces and their Russian allies after advances by
rebel forces pushing to break the government siege that
has been choking their territory. The city's eastern
neighborhoods were encircled by government troops last
week, cutting off all supply lines.
Doctor:
Symptoms of chlorine poisoning
In the
Saraqeb attack, the gas, which the statement said smelled
like chlorine, caused 30 cases of breathing difficulties,
said the Idlib Civil Defence, also known as the White
Helmets. CNN has spoken with a doctor in Saraqeb who said
he treated some of those affected by the alleged attack.
He said their symptoms were consistent with those
"of someone who has suffered from chlorine
poisoning." A photographer who took photos of the
injured for the White Helmets said victims were suffering
symptoms such as watering eyes, spasms, sweating,
coughing and difficulty breathing.
The Syrian
National Council, a coalition of opposition groups,
blamed the Assad regime for the alleged attack in Idlib
province, where a Russian helicopter had earlier been
downed after making what the Kremlin said was an aid
delivery to Aleppo. "Developments on the ground show
how the Assad regime continues to blatantly ignore
international law and U.N. Security Council resolutions,
especially those related to the use of chemical
weapons," the Syrian National Council said.
Alleged attack comes after
helicopter downed
The downing of the Russian helicopter Monday
was the biggest single loss of life for Syria's key
military backer since its warplanes started carrying out
airstrikes in September 2015. No one has claimed
responsibility for the downing of the Mi-8 aircraft. More
at CNN.
COMMENTS (8/3/16): The
chemical weapons attacks have arrived ... after some NATO nations
entered the Syrian civil war and left. Russia is a suspect; so is
Syria itself. Will this prompt renewed air strikes by France and
the UK? Will NATO itself become involved? The provocation is

NATO
member Britain (UK) launches airstrikes against ISIS in Syria
(CNN)—British
fighter jets have taken part in their first airstrikes in
Syria, hours after UK lawmakers voted in favor of bombing
ISIS strongholds there. "RAF Tornadoes have just
returned from their first offensive operation over Syria
and have conducted strikes," a spokesman for
Britain's Ministry of Defense (MOD) said early Thursday.
The MOD
previously said that Tornado fighters had taken off from
an RAF airbase in Cyprus. Lawmakers voted 397 in favor of
action and 223 against, following a 10-hour debate. After
the November 13 terror attacks in Paris, France asked the
U.S.-led coalition to bump up the military offensive
against ISIS.
Now that
Britain has decided to expand airstrikes that it
previously conducted only in Iraq, the spotlight is on
the German Parliament, which also is expected to approve
greater military commitment against the terror group. The
German plan would activate 1,200 troops in anti-ISIS
efforts, but in a support role -- not direct combat.
U.S.
President Barack Obama welcomed the British move and said
the coalition would work "to integrate them into our
coalition air tasking orders as quickly as
possible."
British
airstrikes
Prime
Minister David Cameron kicked off the debate by saying
that ISIS is a threat to the British people, proved in
part through the beheadings of UK hostages in the Middle
East and other atrocities. "This is not about
whether we want to fight terrorism. It's about how best
we do that," Cameron said. He said the UK faces
"'a fundamental threat to our security" and
posed the question, "Do we work with our allies to
degrade and destruct this threat ... or do we sit back
and wait for them to attack us?"
"This
is the right thing to do to keep Britain safe, to deal
with this evil organization and as part of a process to
bring peace and stability to Syria," Foreign
Secretary Philip Hammond told CNN. Hammond said the
military campaign will have two stages: airstrikes to
degrade ISIS capabilities and an eventual ground assault.
The airstrikes can begin "pretty much straight
away" after the vote passes, he said.
In his
rebuttal to Cameron, Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn
called the Syria decision "one with potentially
far-reaching consequences for us all, here in Britain,
people in Syria and those in Middle East." Corbyn
called for Cameron to explain "how British bombing
in Syria will contribute to a comprehensive, negotiated,
political settlement of the Syrian war." After the
vote, Corbyn tweeted that Cameron pushed for the
Parliament vote after he saw opposition in the country
was growing. Corbyn said a diplomatic settlement on Syria
should be the goal.
Britain's
Parliament voted in 2013 against UK military action in
Syria. Lawmakers in the House of Commons rebuffed
Cameron's call for a strong response to allegations the
Syrian government had used chemical weapons in the civil
war. Parliamentary authorization has only been given for
UK military action in neighboring Iraq as part of the
international coalition against ISIS.
German
reconnaissance
German
legislators on Wednesday were debating on an expanded
commitment, deploying high-tech intelligence jets over
Syria and northern Iraq to help other countries' forces
pinpoint targets. The Cabinet, representing a country
known for its reluctance since World War II to engage in
military adventures abroad, approved the military support
mission against ISIS in Syria this week. Lawmakers must
approve it, too, before it takes effect.
The
measure reportedly has overwhelming political support,
with only two smaller parties objecting. The vote is
widely seen as a rubber stamping of Chancellor Angela
Merkel's recent commitment to France's Hollande. In
addition to sending troops and equipment in a support
capacity against ISIS in Syria, Germany would strengthen
its training mission in northern Iraq, according to
German public media news site Deutsche Welle.
Germany
has not committed to airstrikes, and its post-World War
II constitution hinders it in participating in battle on
foreign soil.

Make that four NATO countries now: The
United States, France,
UK, and Turkey. Next

as well be considered as one. If Germany and Poland join in, it
pretty much is a NATO campaign. PREDICTION MUCH MORE PARTIALLY

NATO
member France launches airstrikes against ISIS in Syria
(CNN)—The
French military has carried out its first airstrikes
against ISIS in Syria, according to a statement from the
office of France's presidency. The country had announced
earlier this month that it would expand its aerial
campaign against ISIS in Iraq -- which it began a year
ago -- to include the militant group's positions in
Syria.
The French
president's office said that the strikes in Syria, which
began Sunday, were based on intelligence gathered from
air surveillance operations conducted over Syria during
the past two weeks. "Our country confirms its firm
commitment to the fight against the terrorist threat
Daesh," the statement said, using the Arabic acronym
for ISIS. "We will strike whenever our national
security is at stake." President Francois Hollande,
speaking on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in
New York, described the camp as a "threat to our
country."
"We
reached our goal and the whole training camp was
destroyed," Hollande said. Six aircraft were used in
the mission, which was led by the French but closely
coordinated with the U.S.-led coalition, he said. Despite
the "horrible acts" committed by ISIS, Hollande
placed the blame for the Syrian crisis on the country's
long time strongman Bashar al-Assad. "Bashar al
Assad is the main person at fault, although Daesh commits
horrible acts," Hollande said. "The future of
Syria cannot happen with Bashar al Assad."
France has
been the site of a number of terrorist attacks this year.
Islamic extremists killed 17 people in a quick succession
of attacks in Paris in January, including the shooting
deaths of staff members in the offices of the satirical
magazine Charlie Hebdo. In June, authorities said a man
in southeastern France decapitated his boss, displayed
the severed head with Islamist banners and also set off
an explosion in a factory. And last month, three American
men brought down a suspected terrorist gunman who tried
to open fire on a train bound for France ...

ISIS
bombing in Turkey provokes US-Turkish air strikes and NATO talks
By Jason Hanna,
Greg Botelho and Nick Paton Walsh, CNN
Updated
1618 GMT (2318 HKT) August 13, 2015
(CNN)—For
the first time, the United States launched manned
airstrikes from a base in Turkey against ISIS forces in
Syria, the Pentagon said Wednesday. The attacks from
Incirlik Air Base are part of an agreement reached last
month between NATO allies Turkey and the United States.
The United
States has long wanted to use Turkish bases for manned
airstrikes against ISIS in Syria and parts of Iraq. Such
access should shorten flight times for U.S. (and
presumably allied) fighter jets -- especially into Syria,
where the group calling itself the Islamic State has its
de facto capital, Raqqa -- compared with taking off from
bases in Iraq or aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf.
Washington
has made going after ISIS one of its national security
priorities. While it has helped train moderate Syrian
rebels as well as Iraqi forces, the U.S. military hasn't
put any of its troops in combat roles -- though Gen.
Raymond Odierno, the Army's outgoing chief of staff, said
such a move should be an option if more progress isn't
made against ISIS.
So far,
the air campaign has been America's biggest tool in its
fight. Turkey's cooperation in this regard, paved by a
July deal between President Barack Obama and Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan allowing for the expanded
access, should be a big help.
Turkey has
long endured the buildup of ISIS on its porous border
with Syria, but until July was reluctant to permit the
United States to use its bases to strike the radical
militant group. Ankara has been under pressure from
allies to move more directly against ISIS, and that
pressure grew inside Turkey after a series of attacks
blamed on the group.
On July
20, a suicide blast that authorities blame on ISIS killed
32 people in Suruc, Turkey. Also that month, Turkey said
ISIS militants attacked Turkish troops at the
Turkey-Syria border, killing a soldier.
In
addition to letting the United States use its bases for
strikes, Turkey began launching its own against ISIS last
month.
By Gul
Tuysuz, CNN | Updated 0807 GMT (1507 HKT) July 24, 2015
Istanbul
(CNN)—Turkish warplanes bombed ISIS positions in
Syria for the first time early Friday, escalating the
conflict in the region a day after members of the
terrorist group killed a Turkish soldier in a border
clash. Three F-16s took off from an air base in
southeastern Turkey and struck three ISIS targets just
inside Syria, Turkish authorities said.
Turkey's
decision to attack ISIS positions was taken during a
national security meeting Thursday headed by Prime
Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. It followed the firefight
earlier Thursday in which at least five ISIS militants in
northern Syria approached the border and fired on a
Turkish border unit, killing one of the soldiers and
wounding two others, according to the Turkish military.
Turkey initially responded to the clash by firing
artillery into Syria.
The
Turkish military has targeted positions in Syria before
but only as a response to incoming fire from the Syrian
side of the border. This is the first time Turkey has
used its warplanes to attack ISIS positions.
The
airstrikes Friday hit two ISIS bases and a gathering
point, the Turkish Prime Minister's office said in a
statement. The targets were chosen based on intelligence
reports suggesting a buildup of weapons and explosives in
the area, a Turkish official told CNN on condition of
anonymity.
The
fighter jets have completed their mission for now, but
the Turkish official didn't rule out the possibility of
further airstrikes. "We are committed to eliminating
the national security threat," the official said.
There is a longstanding resolution that has been passed
by the Turkish parliament permitting military action
against Syria.
The
intensified violence comes after one of the deadliest
terror attacks to happen in Turkey in years -- a suicide
bombing that killed at least 31 people Monday in Suruc, a
Turkish town that borders Syria. The blast struck a
gathering of mostly Kurdish activists calling for more
help to rebuild Kobani, the Syrian city that was the
scene of intense fighting last fall between ISIS and
predominantly Kurdish forces. Davutoglu told reporters
Tuesday that early indications pointed to involvement by
ISIS in the Suruc bombing, though an investigation hadn't
been completed.

Could this also
be the beginning of the Islam prophecy concerning the "war
in the Byzantine Empire"?
This is from
2003 - The Coming of AL MAHDI (Allah's endless Rahmah be upon
him) subtitled "Mahdi 'Alayhis Salaam, Allah's
Khalifah" by Sheikh Moulana Sayyid Muhammed Bidre-Aalimra
and translated, edited and published by Mufti Abdullah ibn
Abdurahmaan. The focus for our purposes here is during the time
of the Sufyaani, a great Arab leader whose appearance and reign
will precede the Mahdi. It would not be much of a stretch today
to conclude that this Sufyaani may well be Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi and his Islamic State (referred
to by media as ISIS):
War
in the Byzantine Empire
During the days
of the Sufyaani, the Byzantine ruler will be at war with one
Christian faction and will make peace with the other (Christian
faction). Thus the warring Christian faction will run over
Qustuntuniyyah (Istanbul), and will occupy it. The Byzantine
ruler will flee and go to Shaam. The Muslim army with the aid of
the friendly Christian party will wage war against the enemy
Christian party, and will be victorious.
A person from
the friendly Christian party will thus announce that
"because of the cross, victory was gained", and in the
name of the cross we won. On hearing this, a person from the
Muslim army will assault this Christian person and will say no
"Islaam was victorious and because of Islaam victory was
gained".
As a result of
this incident, war will break out between the Muslims and the
friendly Christian party. The Muslim leader will be martyred and
the Christians will take over Shaam. Thereafter, the two
Christian parties will make peace, and the remaining muslims will
migrate to Madinah. The Christian rule will extend almost up to
khaiber, which is to the north of Madinah. Now the muslims will
begin their search for Allah's khalifah - the Mahdi.
New
ISIS plan by U.S. to include Assad's removal; air strikes kill
900
Elise
Labott reports the White House is reviewing new strategies
to defeat ISIS, including Bashar al-Assad's removal.
By Jim Sciutto,
Mariano Castillo and Holly Yan,
CNN
September 23, 2014 -- Updated 0313 GMT (1113 HKT)
(CNN)
-- The airstrikes Tuesday took place in the ISIS
stronghold of Raqqa, a U.S. official told CNN. It's the
first strikes against the terror group inside the country
since President Barack Obama's announcement this month
that he was prepared to expand the American efforts
beyond targets in Iraq.
All foreign partners participating
in the strikes with the United States are Arab countries,
a senior U.S. military official told CNN. Those nations
include Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates
and Jordan.
Diplomatic sources told CNN that
Qatar was also involved, though it was not clear whether
Qatar actually conducted airstrikes itself.
The U.S. and "partner
nation forces" began striking ISIS targets using
fighters, bombers and Tomahawk missiles, Pentagon
spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said, though he didn't
specify a geographic location.
Citing the ongoing
operations, Kirby said the Pentagon would not provide
additional details immediately. But a U.S. military
official said the strikes are meant to target the ability
of ISIS to command and control, resupply and train.
Tomahawk
missiles launched from the sea initiated the
strike, followed by
bombers and fighters, a senior U.S.
military official told CNN.
The goal with this first
move is to have an initial, definitive blow, the
official said, describing the pace of the
operation as intense.
Most of the spots hits were
hard targets, like buildings, a senior U.S.
official told CNN.
"This is the punch in
the nose to the bully that we talked about on the
playground," former Delta Force officer
James Reese said. "ISIS is the bully, and we
just punched him in the nose."
Until now, ISIS has been able to
take over cities and operate in Syria with near impunity.
Now, it's coming under attack.
With the airstrikes, the United
States enters a new level of engagement in the ongoing
Syrian civil war. Obama had resisted U.S. military action
in Syria, but as the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq made
sweeping advances in both Middle Eastern neighbors, calls
for such a step grew. "I have made it clear that we
will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country,
wherever they are," Obama said in a September 10
speech. "That means I will not hesitate to take
action against ISIL in Syria, as well as Iraq. This is a
core principle of my presidency: if you threaten America,
you will find no safe haven."
The message of the speech was clear
-- it was a matter of when, not if -- the United States
would carry out airstrikes inside Syria.
A U.S. intelligence official said
that while law enforcement is aware the airstrikes
against ISIS in Syria could incite a response, there is
no evidence to suggest any terrorist strike is in the
works against the United States.
Last week, U.S. officials told CNN
that the military had everything in place it needed to
strike ISIS inside Syria and was awaiting Obama's
go-ahead to do so.
For weeks, intelligence and
military targeting specialists have been working around
the clock on a list of targets, the officials said. It is
unlikely that the President reviewed all the targets
individuall, but was presented broad guidance with
analysis about the risks of bombing inside Syria, as well
as the rewards in terms of attacking ISIS.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel
told the House Armed Services Committee last week that he
and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin
Dempsey signed off on plans to strike ISIS in Syria.
"CENTCOM's plan includes
targeted actions against ISIL safe havens in Syria --
including its command and control, logistics
capabilities, and infrastructure," Hagel said last
week. "Our actions will not be restrained by a
border that exists in name only."
Washington
(CNN) -- Two U.S. F/A-18 jet fighters bombed artillery of
Sunni Islamic extremists in Iraq on Friday, escalating
America's military involvement more than two years after
President Barack Obama brought home forces from the
country. Obama authorized "targeted airstrikes"
if needed to protect U.S. personnel from fighters with
the Islamic State, formerly known as the Islamic State in
Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. The U.S. military also could use
airstrikes to prevent what officials warn could be a
genocide of minority groups by the Islamic State
fighters. U.S. warplanes patrolling the skies over
northern Iraq have a "green light" to go after
perceived ISIS threats to the Kurdish capital, Irbil, or
to minority populations, said deputy national security
adviser Ben Rhodes.
Laser-guided bombs
The first strike involved
500-pound laser-guided bombs on a "mobile artillery
piece" used by ISIS at about 6:45 a.m. ET Friday,
Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said. It came in
response to an Islamic State advance this week on what
officials call U.S. interests in Iraq's Kurdish region in
the north. The militants took towns from the Kurdish
fighting force known as the Peshmerga. Before the
onslaught, the region had been the most stable in Iraq
and a cooperative ally of the United States. U.S.
military advisers and consular personnel are stationed in
Irbil. The mobile artillery battery hit Friday was based
outside Irbil, Kirby said.
In announcing his decision
Thursday night, Obama said the militants would get hit
"should they move towards the city." Kurdish
leaders have been pleading for the United States or NATO
to buttress their forces against the Islamic State from
the air. The President seems to have heard their appeal.
"We do whatever is necessary to protect our
people," Obama said, adding, "We support our
allies when they're in danger."
Obama: Potential
'genocide'
U.S. airstrikes also could
hit the Islamic State if militants continue to endanger
the lives of thousands of ethnic Yazidis stranded in
mountains by the militants' siege. Obama and other
administration officials are using the term
"genocide" when referring to the threat to the
internal refugees.
Last weekend, ISIS
militants raided the Yazidi town of Sinjar in northern
Iraq. Yazidis, one of Iraq's smallest minorities, are of
Kurdish descent and their religion is considered a
pre-Islamic sect that draws from Christianity, Judaism
and Zoroastrianism. The Islamic State has executed people
who don't share their fanatical interpretation of Sunni
Islam and posted videos of their killings to the
Internet. "Convert to Islam or die" is the
militants' ultimatum to those captured. They also have
beheaded victims and placed their heads on spikes to
strike terror in the population, a senior administration
official said.
Before Obama spoke
Thursday night, two U.S. military cargo planes airdropped
5,300 gallons of water and 8,000 meals onto Mount Sinjar,
where some Yazidi children had died from dehydration.
British support
The British government
said Friday it would support the U.S. humanitarian effort
and planned airdrops of its own.
Meanwhile, the United
Nations in Iraq was "urgently preparing a
humanitarian corridor to allow those in need to flee the
areas under threat," said Nickolay Mladenov, the
special representative to the U.N. secretary-general. He
welcomed the "cooperation between the Government of
Iraq, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the
international community to help prevent genocide and
fight terrorism," according to a U.N. statement.
U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry on Friday repeated the administration's
concerns about genocide. The Islamic State's
"campaign of terror against the innocent, including
the Yazidi and Christian minorities, and its grotesque
targeted acts of violence show all the warning signs of
genocide," Kerry said Friday during a televised
press conference in Kabul, Afghanistan. "The stakes
for Iraq's future could not be more clear," and
"for anyone who (needs) a wake-up call, this is
it."
Concern over U.S.
ground troops returning
While he authorized the
airstrikes in response to specific threats, Obama made
clear he had no intention of sending in ground forces.
"As commander in chief, I will not allow the United
States to be dragged into fighting another war in
Iraq," the President said. The administration has
put the onus on the Iraqi government, which it has pushed
to reform. It wants Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's
Shiite-dominated regime replaced by an ethnically more
inclusive government. Already, the Obama administration
is rapidly funneling weapons to Iraqi forces. Factories
in the United States are operating seven days a week to
produce them, a senior administration official said.
But two Republican
senators said in a statement that the President's actions
do not go far enough. And the United States should not
wait on Iraq to pull together before Washington takes
action. Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham
of South Carolina want to see U.S. forces take the fight
to the Islamic State. "It should include U.S.
airstrikes against ISIS leaders, forces, and positions
both in Iraq and Syria," their statement read.
Iraqi forces fight
back
The Iraqi air force bombed
a number of Islamic State targets on Thursday night, said
Qubad Talabani, deputy prime minister of the Kurdish
regional government. He told CNN the strikes killed at
least two of the group's emirs.
At this point, the United
States has 245 military personnel in Iraq, 90 of them
advisers sent in recent weeks to coordinate with Iraqi
and Kurdish military officials in response to the ISIS
rampage. The USS George H.W. Bush and other Navy ships
also are in the region, and the FA/18s in Friday's
initial strike came from the aircraft carrier.
The Islamic State fighters
have captured armored vehicles and other military
hardware from Iraqi forces in a lightning sweep through
the north earlier this year. The militant group's name,
Islamic State, reflects its goal to establish a Sunni
caliphate stretching from Syria to Baghdad. After
establishing the religious state, the group envisions
expanding it throughout the world, and analysts warn of
Americans and Europeans with the Islamic State returning
home at some point to bring the battle.
COMMENTS (10/23/14):
Use of chemical weapons in Syria in March 2013 and
August 2013 has been confirmed and documented.
But the widespread use of chemical weapons resulting in the
deaths of "many thousands" has not. Also, chemical
weapons attacks have not yet occurred in Iraq.
Nevertheless, the invasions and
warfare conducted by Islamic State engaged in both Syria and
Iraq, along with a recent attack on northern Iraq by Assad's
government forces on civilian and IS targets, does give us a
glimpse of how this predicted scenario might eventually lead to
large scale chemical attacks in both countries.
Also, the NATO alliance itself
has yet to actually take full andofficial
military action against either the Islamic State in Syria and
Iraq or against the Assad regime in Damascus. Such action has
been "mulled" over, but no commitment of any kind as of
yet. However, the US coalition against IS in Iraq does include
the active participation of six NATO allies: Canada, the UK,
France, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Germany was
planning to join the coalition, then backed out. Turkey likewise
is resisting involvement. NATO members Italy and Spain have only,
thus far, sent military advisors and are not actively involved in
the air campaign at this time.
As for Syria, only the United
States is conducting an air war against the IS in that country,
with the military air support of five Arab states.
Thus, technically, what is
occurring at best is a very partial, unofficial
NATO military action in Iraq, and a unilateral US air war in
Syria.
Once again to summarize: This
prediction anticipates 1) catastrophic use of chemical weapons in
Iraq and Syria resulting in thousands of deaths and 2) calls for
full NATO military action in both Iraq and Syria. At best this
prediction is only very partially fulfilled.
35,000 Turkish
Troops Launch Invasion into Iraq in New Kurd War: Real Start of
WW3?
NEW
PREDICTION: 2/29/16: Base 7 dating: March 2016.
More accurately, this invasion
could begin anywhere in a window of March, April, or May 2016.
Another such window opens up in 2018.
If the ceasefire in the Syrian
Conflict holds, it is very possible Turkey will launch a new war
against the Kurds. I suppose it could happen even if the
ceasefire doesn't hold, which will make an even bigger mess of
things. This would be a repeat of Operation Steel
launched by Turkey into northern Iraq against the PKK Kurds from March
to May 1995, twenty-one (3 x 7) years ago.
Certainly the number of troops could be even larger in the
invasion force. The casualties on the Kurd side were so great
that then-acting Prime Minister Tansu Ciller ordered a news
blackout. If this happens again, I cannot see that it will
accomplish anything other than renewing the hostilities in Syria
and bringing an end to the ceasefire. If that happens, Russia
will almost certainly go to war with Turkey and will conquer the
country. Two other more dangerous windows for a Turkish-Kurd
conflict open up in 2018.
This could be the start of
"the War in the Byzantine Empire" that appears in
Islamic prophecy. It happens when the Sufyani is at war in Syria
and Iraq (which al-Baghdadi and ISIS are at this time). There is
no time given for the length of this war, but when it ends, the
Sufyani is killed in Aleppo. That war will become very huge,
bringing in armies from Saudi Arabia and other nations not
currently fighting in large numbers in Syria. It may also spread
beyond Turkey to the other former Byzantine empire nations in the
Balkans, the former Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe.
The Turkey-Kurd War could be the
conflict that links war in the Middle East with war in Europe and
becomes "World War III."
Rebels supported by Turkey
fought Kurdish-backed forces in north Syria on Saturday,
as Ankara ratcheted up its cross-border offensive by
saying it had launched air strikes on Kurdish
forces and the Islamic State militant group
(ISIS).
Turkey's government, which
is fighting a Kurdish insurgency at home, has said the
Syrian campaign launched this week is as much about
targeting ISIS as it is about preventing
Kurdish forces filling the vacuum left when Islamists
withdraw. Turkey wants to stop Kurdish
forces from gaining control of a continuous stretch of
Syrian territory on its frontier, which Ankara fears
could be used to support the Kurdish militant
group PKK as it wages its three-decade
insurgency on Turkish soil.
Turkish security sources
said two F-16 jets bombed a site controlled by
the Kurdish YPG militia, which is part of
the broader U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)
coalition. The sources also said the jets hit six ISIS
targets. Ankara's opponents said Turkish forces had
targeted YPG-allied forces but that no Kurdish forces
were involved.
On the ground,
Turkish-backed Syrian rebels fought forces aligned to the
SDF near the frontier town of Jarablus. Forces opposed to
Ankara said Turkish tanks were deployed,
a charge denied by Turkey's rebel allies.
Turkey launched its
offensive into Syria on Wednesday, supporting its rebel
allies with Turkish special forces, tanks and warplanes.
It seized control of Jarablus from ISIS, seeking to stop
any Kurdish forces moving in first. Saturday's use of
warplanes against what Turkey said was a Kurdish YPG
militia target highlights its determination to
prevent any Kurdish territorial expansion in north Syria.
Any action against Kurdish
forces in Syria puts Turkey at odds with its NATO ally
the United States, which backs the SDF and YPG, seeing
them as the most reliable and effective ally in the fight
against ISIS in Syria. It adds complexity to the Syrian
conflict that erupted five years ago with an uprising
against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and has since
drawn in regional states and world powers.
'Dangerous
Escalation'
The Jarablus Military
Council, part of the SDF, had said earlier on Saturday
that Turkish planes hit the village of al-Amarna south of
Jarablus, causing civilian casualties. It called the
action "a dangerous escalation."
The Kurdish-led
administration that controls parts of northern Syria said
Turkish tanks advanced on al-Amarna and clashed with
forces of the Jarablus Military Council. But the Kurdish
administration said no Kurdish forces were involved.
However, the leader of one
Turkey-backed rebel group gave a rival account. He told
Reuters the rebels battled the Kurdish YPG around
al-Amarna and denied any Turkish tanks took part. Turkish
security forces simply said Turkish-backed forces had
extended their control to five villages beyond Jarablus.
A video released by
Turkey's military showed the Turkish Red Crescent
distributing food and aid to people in Jarablus, with the
help of Turkish troops. It also showed what appeared to
be Turkish-backed rebels flicking v-for-victory signs in
the town.
The newly formed Jarablus
Military Council has said it was made up of people from
the area with the aim of capturing the town and the
surrounding region from Islamic State militants. However,
the Turkish-backed rebels seized Jarablus first.
Several militias under the
SDF banner pledged support to Jarablus Military Council
after it reported the Turkish bombing. The Northern Sun
Battalion, an SDF faction, said in a statement it was
heading to "Jarablus ronts" to help the council
against "threats made by factions belonging to
Turkey."
Tension has mounted in
Syria's Aleppo region in the past year between the
U.S-backed Kurdish YPG force and its allies on one hand
and Turkish-backed rebel groups on the other. The two
sides have clashed on several occasions.
Turkish jets
and artillery have targeted Kurdish forces south of the
strategic town of Jarablus, according to a
monitor and local sources, as Turkey continues a major
military offensive inside northern Syria. Turkey first
sent tanks across the border on Wednesday
as part of a two-pronged operation against Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters, as well as
Kurdish-led forces. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said Saturday's air strikes and shelling hit
the village of Amarneh, which was captured recently by
the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Jarablus Military
Council, which is allied with the SDF, said the air
strikes in Amarneh marked an "unprecedented
and dangerous escalation" after
Turkish artillery shelling targeted Kurdish YPG forces,
the backbone of the SDF alliance, on Friday. The council
said that there were injuries, without giving any further
details, but warned that the escalation threatened to
"endanger the future of the region" and vowed
to stand its ground.
Wladimir van Wilgenburg,
an analyst based in the nearby Kurdish-controlled city of
Qamishli, told Al Jazeera that the clashes had increased
throughout Saturday. "There have been reports that
SDF fighters have blown up a Turkish tank. The fighting
is ongoing," he said.
Later on Saturday, one
Turkish soldier and three others were wounded in a rocket
attack on a Turkish tank south of Jarablus late on
Saturday, according to Turkey's state-run Anadolu news
agency, in the military's first fatality since the launch
of its offensive to partly help Syria rebels capture
Jarablus from ISIL, also known as ISIS. Turkish military
sources said the rocket was fired from territory held by
the Kurdish YPG. Earlier on Saturday, the Northern Sun
Battalion, an SDF faction, had said in a statement that
it was heading to "Jarablus fronts" to help the
council against "threats made by factions belonging
to Turkey".
Ankara has long accused
the YPG, or the Kurdish People's Protection Units, of
being linked to Kurdish fighters in its own southeast. It
has ordered the group, a well-trained force that has been
the US-led coalition's most effective ground partner in
the war against ISIL, to withdraw to the east bank of the
Euphrates, which crosses the Syria-Turkey border at
Jarablus.
ISIL has controlled
territory along the Syria-Turkey border since 2013. And
in 2014, US-backed Kurdish forces began a push to retake
the border area. After the Kurdish-led SDF seized the
nearby city of Manbij from ISIL earlier this month, it
left ISIL with Jarablus as its only border stronghold.
The Turkish offensive pre-empted an attempt by the
Kurdish-led forces to take control of Jarablus first.
John Kerry, the US
Secretary of State, said on Wednesday during a visit to
Turkey that the YPG should withdraw east of the
Euphrates, and that a refusal to do so would mean an end
to Washington's support for the group. Emin Bozoglan,
head of the Syrian Turkmen Assembly, told Turkish media
on Saturday that the operation in Jarablus is aimed at
taking ISIL-controlled al-Bab, near the divided city of
Aleppo. The Kurds have also set their sights on al-Bab.
Their forces aim to
connect the main part of Kurdish-controlled territory to
the east of the Euphrates with the Kurdish-controlled
town of Efrin to the West. Manbij and al-Bab lie directly
in between the two Kurdish de-facto autonomous zones.
"Syrian Kurdish civilians here are worried that it
won't be possible to connect the two sides and make one
region," said van Wilgenburg. "Now, as both
sides push towards al-Bab, things could
deteriorate."
Kerry said late on Friday
in Geneva that the US had supported Kurdish fighters on a
"limited basis" and remained in close
coordination with Turkey. "We are for a united
Syria. We do not support an independent Kurd
initiative."
And while battles between
Turkish-backed rebels and Kurdish forces increase to the
west of the Euphrates, Kurdish sources said Turkey had
also crossed into Syria near Kobane, a symbolic town to
the east of the Euphrates, to begin constructing a wall.
"Basically the aim is to shut down all cross-border
activity. To stop the cross-border smuggling and to
strangle the Kurdish administration," said van
Wilgenburg.
COMMENTS (9/2/16): I was
cautious about any immediate reaction to Turkey sending troops,
jets, and tanks into northern Syria, especially when the initial
reports were that they were targeting ISIS. I had a sneaky
suspicion though that the Kurds would
also be engaged, which is now quite obviously the case. Some
analysts have even said the war on ISIS is just an excuse to go
to war with the Kurds. How far this will go I don't know: the
total number of troops committed thus far is about half of what
it was in the 1995 campaign this prediction is based upon.
However, regional military strategists have been playing with the
35,000 number again for starts as what will be required for the
Turks to realise their objectives. There are reports out right
now comparing this military campaign with the one in 1995. I can
see no reason not to consider this a PREDICTION FULFILLED although clearly still in progress.

Attempted
Assassination of U.S. President Barack Obama
NEW
PREDICTION: 11/26/14: Base 7 dating:March 2016.
POSTED
(8/30/15): This could have went up at any time as my
original notes that were at top of page more or less have already
said it all:
Notes
(11.26.14): The last serious and injurious assassination
attempt on the life of a US president occurred in March
1981 when John Hinckley
shot then-president Ronald Reagan, also
critically wounding press secretary James Brady. The assassin of Abraham
Lincoln in April 1865 was a stage actor namedJohnWilkes Booth. Thus, the name "John"
may or may not be key. John F.
Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald (president
named "John") in November 1963. That
base 7 vector for November 2012 has long ago passed.
The only thing I
would add is that I find it highly unlikely this will occur;
opportunities in 1988, 1995, 2002, and 2009 never materialized.
Plus, in 2016, Obama will be on his way out anyway.
Washington
(CNN) — U.S. Capitol Police shot a Tennessee man
Monday afternoon after he pulled out a gun at the Capitol
Visitor Center, law enforcement officials said.
A female
civilian bystander was injured by shrapnel, but no U.S.
Capitol Police officers were injured.
"We
believe this is an act of a single person who has
frequented the Capitol grounds before, and there is no
reason to believe this is anything more than a criminal
act," U.S. Capitol Police Chief Matthew Verderosa
said.
He said
the gunman, who law enforcement officials identified as
Larry Russell Dawson, is currently in surgery at a
hospital and that a weapon was recovered on the scene.
Verderosa also described the woman's injuries as
"minor" and said she was transported to a
hospital.
The gunman
attempted to go through the metal detectors at the
Capitol Visitor Center entrance. When those magnetometers
beeped, he was stopped by security and then pulled out a
gun.
A Capitol
police officer then shot him, sources told CNN.
Dawson was
arrested on a charge of assaulting a police officer in
October after an outburst in the chamber of the House of
Representatives.
Court
documents from that 2015 incident describe Dawson as a
66-year-old man from Tennessee. In that incident,
according to the documents, Dawson "loudly stated to
Congress he was a 'prophet of God.' "
The
Capitol complex was locked down for nearly an hour
following the incident. The Senate Sergeant at Arms has
told staffers and others to "return to normal
operations."
"Per
USCP, shelter in place has been lifted and the Capitol is
open for official business only. Capitol Visitor Center
remains closed," the Senate Sergeant at Arms
tweeted.
No other
suspects appear to be at large, according to a notice
sent to Senate staffers.
"There
has been an isolated incident at the U.S. Capitol. There
is no active threat to the public," the D.C. Police
Department tweeted.
Police and
firefighters swarmed the entrance of the visitor center,
which is packed this week with tourists, spring break
visitors and school groups.
Congressional
staffers were sent a notice to shelter in place,
instructing them to lock doors and move to assigned
shelter areas. Those outside the buildings on the Capitol
complex were told to "seek cover away from the
area."
Most
lawmakers were away from the Capitol on Monday.
House
Speaker Paul Ryan, who is not currently in Washington,
has been briefed on the incident, according to his
spokesman.
"Today
we are reminded of the courage and daily sacrifice of the
United States Capitol Police," he said in a
statement.
"The
Capitol is our greatest symbol of democracy, and these
officers serve to protect not just those who work there
but also the millions of visitors from all around the
world who travel each year to see it."
Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is in Louisville and his
staff is safe, his spokesman said.
The White
House also briefly closed its North and South fence lines
as a precautionary measure after the Capitol incident.
COMMENTS
(3/28/16): The last time this happened the attack was
far deadlier. The time was July 24,
1998 ... and two police officers were killed
during the attack by deranged
gunman Russell Eugene Weston Jr. I had a November 1998
assassination watch in place for President Bill Clintonthat
year. Even though I had no internet access or means to create a
website until February 1999 (my site went live in May 1999), I
was practicing at what I would write if I was online. I had been
using the base 7 system in isolation since January 1996. If I had
been online in 1998, the Clinton assassination prediction would
have been one of a number featured, and the U.S. Capitol Shooting
of July of that year would have been considered a "Close
Call." There were other close calls for Clinton that year as
well, including a thwarted bridge bombing on the route that he
and his wife Hillary took during a visit to Bosnia.
The only other
incident where a shooting in the U.S. Capitol resulted in injuries
was on March 1,
1954, when five members of the House of
Representatives were wounded by Puerto Rican nationalists. To
this day, the July 1998 incident was the only one resulting in
deaths.
There were
several bombings at the Capitol also, but no
injuries, in 1983, 1971, and 1915.
To me, any bloodshed
in Washington D.C. aimed at the power and authority of the U.S.
government and its officials is a symbolic attack against the
life of the U.S. president. These people who go mad and shoot in
the Capitol building or near the White House are, in my book, all
potential assassins. That is why an event such as this one,
occurring in the very month of March in the very year predicted
(2016) for an attempt on the life of President Obama
counts as a significant CLOSE CALL.
NEW
PREDICTION: 11/26/14 -- DESCRIPTION: 11/10/15: Base 7 dating:March
2016.
Initially, this
prediction was based on the Patty Hearst
kidnapping of February 4, 1974. She was and is an heiress to the
fortune of publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst. Abducted
at gunpoint from her apartment by a domestic terrorist
organization known as the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA),
Hearst, age 19 at the time, came to identify with her captors (an
example of the oft-cited "Stockholm Syndrome"). She
even participated with an M1 carbine machine gun in some of the
armed bank heists the group carried out. She was eventually
arrested in September 1975, and determined by doctors to be a
victim of brainwashing. Nevertheless, after a grueling court
trial, on March 20, 1976
Hearst was convicted of bank robbery and using a firearm in a
felony and was given the maximum sentence of 35 years'
imprisonment. She was released on bail
in November 1976, but after exhausting all appeals, including
allegations that she had been raped repeatedly by members of the
SLA, was placed back into prison in May 1978. President Jimmy
Carter, swayed in part by remarks made by actor John Wayne in the
aftermath of the Jim Jones Guyana Massacre wherein over 900
brainwashed adults committed mass suicide and murder, commuted
Patty Hearst's sentence to 22 months, including time served, and
she was freed eight months early in 1979. Hearst received a full
pardon from President Bill Clinton in January 2001.
From
abduction to probable murder. Twenty-one (3 x 7) years and nine months
after the Patty Hearst abduction, Levitz Furniture heiress Mary
Jacqueline Levitz, age 62, went missing on November
18, 1995. When her home was searched, police found signs
of a violent struggle: the torn tips of fingernails were
scattered on the floor, and when they flipped over Levitz's
mattress, they found it stained with a large quantity of blood
that matched her type. Officially she remained a missing person
because her body was never found; but Levitz was later declared
dead on November 18, 2000. Cause of death? Likely murder by
person or persons unknown.
From probable murder
to rape and murder. Seven years later, on January
6, 2002, fashion writer and socialite Christa
Worthington, age 46, was found raped and
stabbed to death at her home in Truro, Massachusetts. Her
two-year-old daughter was also found unharmed, clinging to her
mother's half-naked body. This homicide was also given the name
The Cape Cod Murder Case by the media. A local garbage collector, Christopher
McCowen, was arrested and
charged with Worthington's rape and murder on April 15, 2005. In
2008 and again in 2011, books were written raising reasonable
doubt about McCowen being involved in the rape/murder and that
evidence of sperm on the body only supported McCowen's claim that
sex was consensual, that Worthington had seduced him, and that
she was alive and well when he left the house. If true, the
murder case would actually still have to be considered as
unsolved.
From rape and murder
to rape and murder ... twice. Six rather than seven
years later, and reported on this website as a "prediction
fulfilled" for 2009,
after being missing a few days, on March 18, 2008, Norwegian
heiress and socialite Martine Vik Magnussen
was discovered dead, strangled and naked, beneath rubble in a
basement. I considered the event to be a case of repetition
occurring a year premature, which sometimes happens in this base
7 conundrum. On July 30, 2008, Playboy millionaire Farouk
Abdulhak was named as the primary suspect in the socialite's rape
and murder. Although "wanted for murder," Abdulhak, the
son of one Yemen's wealthiest men, is living in Yemen and
therefore can not be extradicted. He will likely get away with
Martine's rape and murder by strangulation.
However, if a year premature was
hard to swallow, another case occurred in 2009 ... the actual
target year. On May 29, 2009, Polish millionairessKinga
Legg, 36,was found slumped naked
in a bath in a sound-proofed Ł1,000-a-night room at the renowned
Bristol Hotel. Kinga suffered massive head injuries from being
repeatedly bludgeoned over the head with a lamp stand. Playboy
Ian Griffin, Legg's boyfriend at the time, was arrested June 1
and charged with her murder.
There was a long
lull of 21 years between the Hearst abduction and the Levitz
disappearance/probable murder. However, since 1995, this has been
an every seven years event, and most recently two cases, one a
year premature of seven years (six years) and the other at seven
years. This over-the-threshold situation from 2008/09 may mean
seven years will be skipped ... or even another lull of 21 years.
Unfortunately there is one other factor to consider.
At the time of the Hearst abduction, she was
unknown to the public. It was her abduction and captivity and
involvement in crime that brought her into the media spotlight.
The same can be said about the murdered and raped and murdered
heiresses and socialites. They were fairly unknown or completely
unknown to the public until they became homicide victims.
There is today a
young woman who is extremely well-known and is an heiress and a
socialite, as well as an actress, TV personality, model, singer,
DJ, and author. That is none other than Paris Hilton,
age 34, heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune and perpetually in
the media spotlight. Given the danger posed by the continuous
trend I have discussed above, it doesn't take much of an
imagination to realize that at some time in the future, whether
it is in 2016, 2023, 2029, or later, she will be in positive
danger of losing her life to an assailant of some kind, a
boyfriend or a stranger. Also, given that the oldest victim on
this timeline, Mary
Jacqueline Levitz, was 62 years old when she was (likely)
murdered, Hilton's chances of being murdered will continue until
at least the year 2043.
Additionally, there is a second
heiress timeline of doom that runs the following year (January
2017) based on the abduction and murder of British heiress Lesley
Whittle, age 17, in January 1975. Whittle, whose
body was found completely naked, had been hanged to
death. Donald Neilson was apprehended 11 months later and charged
with her kidnapping and murder. He was convicted and sentenced to
life in prison. Thirty-five (5 x 7) years passed by, and then in
2010, once again in January, Johnson & Johnson billionaire
heiress Casey Johnson (a friend of
Paris Hilton's) and British heiressRobyn Whiteheadwere found dead in what appeared to be
drug-related incidents. In addition, a break-in attempt of Paris
Hilton's home by a knife-wielding maniac occurred on August 24,
2010. Whether this home invasion attempt was related to the 2010
theme or was a "one year late" close call from 2009 is
uncertain.
As for this
year, one key event may be warning Paris Hilton to be on guard in
2016 and 2017. On June 26, Paris Hilton was pranked
into thinking she would die in a plane mishap. Paris Hilton
Falls Victim to Cruel Prank - June 29,
2015.
This
event may be offering insight into what the chances are that
Hilton (or someone else who is an heiress or socialite) will be
murdered in March 2016 or January 2017, if not before. It is a
positive warning for somebody to watch out!
An
illegal immigrant has confessed to killing American
artist Ashley Olsen in her Italian apartment, who was
punched and strangled with a USB cord in what police say
was a jealous 'drug-fueled' frenzy
Cheik
Tidiane Diaw, 25, told officers he
strangled Olsen after the pair had sex when
she told him he had to leave because her boyfriend was
coming back. The Senegalese man was caught because of DNA
evidence from a used condom and cigarette found
in the toilet - which he had tried to flush away
unsuccessfully. Italian police said they had to swoop on
him quickly because they feared he was about to flee
Florence.
The chief
prosecutor said that the alleged murderer had initially
given a false alibi to police when he was first
questioned. He was freed but then re-arrested when his
DNA was matched.
Olsen,
whose funeral will be held in the Italian city tomorrow,
suffered two fractures to the skull and was strangled
with a USB cord.
She
met her alleged killer atthe
Montecarla club, notorious for sex and drugs,
and left together at 5.30am, when they went to her
apartment.
The victim
did not leave the club alone, as previously thought, and
Diaw's confession suggests that the police's initial
finding of a 'consensual' kinky sex game
before her death may have been wrong.
At a press
conference today in Florence, the chief prosecutor
Giuseppe Creazzo said: 'We think sexual relations
occurred before the homicide, not during it. 'We do not
know whether they took drugs together before she
was killed but we are awaiting the results of analysis,'
he added.
Police
found a used condom and cigarette in the victim's toilet
which helped identify the suspect. The killer had
attempted to flush the condom and cigarette down the
lavatory, investigators said, but the flush had failed
and the objects were recovered by the forensic team.
Diaw is
also alleged to have taken her phone from the scene of
the crime and placed his own SIM card inside it. He told
police that her death was the result of a fight after
having consensual sex ...
Ashley
Ann Olsen, an artist who had moved from Florida, was
found dead in mysterious circumstances with her neck
bruised and scratched
By Andrea
Vogt, Florence | The Telegraph

GMT 10 Jan 2016
Italian
police are investigating the murder of a popular American
expat found strangled to death
in her flat near the river Arno. Ashley Ann Olsen, 35,
originally of South Haven, Florida, was found
naked with bruises and scratches on her neck in her flat Saturday
afternoon.
The news
sent tremors through the tight-knit expat community of
foreigners in Florence, as well as the vibrant, artistic
Oltrarno neighborhood where she lived, along the left
bank of the river that bisects the city. On Sunday, many
passerby stopped to leave bouquets of fresh flowers on
her doorstep. “La Americana, la Americana,”
said regulars at the café and tobacco shop on the
corner. “Everybody around here knew who she was . . the
blonde American with the little dog,”
said one young Italian woman who was walking her two
small dogs down Olsen’s street in the Santo Spirito
quarter.
Her body
was discovered after her boyfriend, an up and coming
contemporary Italian painter, said he became alarmed
after being unable to reach her for several days. The two
had fought, he said, but when she did not pick up his
calls he contacted the landlord, who allowed him into
Miss Olsen’s locked flat, where he found her and
then called police, according to Italian media reports.
Police said she had bruises and scratches that suggested
she tried to fight off her aggressor, but noted no signs
of a forced entry into the small apartment on Via Santa
Monaca. Her pet beagle, “Scout,” was found
outside.
Miss Olsen
moved to Florence in 2012 to study art and be near her
father, who also lives in Florence, where he teaches art
at an American school. Bubbly, popular and wealthy, the
American appeared to be living a glamorous, bohemian
expat life, which she chronicled regularly on Facebook
and Instagram in enthusiastic bursts of short, hashtagged
phrases. She posted pictures of her favorite haunts
– the narrow cobblestone streets around her flat,
the nearby square, her boyfriend’s art studio, the
chic wine bars where she hung out. She garnered dozens of
“likes” for the pretty snaps of her with her
beloved beagle or enjoying road trips, from the
backstreets of Berlin to balmy Mediterranean isles.
Her
Instagram motto was “Live free or die.”
But it
remains a mystery who made that choice for her. Police
were questioning a large group of American friends about
her last movements as well as her boyfriend, a
45-year-old Italian who had lived for years in California
before resettling in Tuscany and building a budding
career in contemporary art that led to exhibitions in New
York, Berlin, Asia and Europe. She posted many pictures
of them as a couple, often partying, and sometimes with
affectionate comments like #thisguy is #somethingelse.
But one
woman, a regular at Miss Olsen’s neighborhood
café’ who was in frequent contact with her, told
the Telegraph she had recently confided there were
problems in the relationship. “I talked to her
nearly every day, I felt like a mother figure to
her,” said the woman, who asked not to be named.
“She had been in a previous marriage that ended
badly, and still had her ex-husband’s name tattooed
on the inside of her wrist. I encouraged her to get
therapy, to not repeat the situation."
Miss Olsen
also hinted that her social media postings had attracted
unwanted attention from strangers. Nine weeks ago she
shared on Instagram several pictures that she suggested
had been taken of her in her neighborhood without her
consent. She attached the hashtags #Ihaveastalker,
#creeperpic and #stalkeralert.
Investigators
were studying her computer and phone records as well as
CCTV images from the well-trafficked intersection near
her flat for clues. “The investigation is active and
ongoing, so we are not making any official declarations
at this time,” said Florence police spokeswoman
Maddalena Carosi, who said no suspects had yet been
named.
The
investigator in charge of the Florence Flying Squad is no
stranger to high profile murder cases involving
foreigners, having led the investigation into British
exchange student Meredith Kercher’s murder in
Perugia in 2007. As head of the Perugia Flying Squad at
the time, Giacinto Profazio was present at Amanda
Knox’s interrogation and had testified that the
American from Seattle did cartwheels and the splits in
the police station while waiting to be questioned about
Miss Kercher's murder.
Miss Knox, who Italy’s Supreme Court
last year acquitted of murder, maintained she was just
doing yoga to relieve stress. Mr. Profazio was later
transfered to Rome, then appointed in early 2015 to lead
Florence Flying Squad, where he now is among the lead
investigators probing Olsen’s murder.
COMMENTS (1/12/16):
Thus far, and there are no suspects yet, the death of artist
and socialite Ashley Ann Olsen is
an almost exact repeat of the murder of socialiteMartine
Vik Magnussen. Her naked body was found strangled,
but found in bed rather than under rubble. It is
believed she was strangled in the bed. Like Vik Magnussen, she
was a blonde. However, it remains to be seen if she was raped or
not. The Vik Magnussen case was a year premature (2008 rather
than 2009), but the Olsen case is in the correct year and only
off by two months (January rather than March). But then again,
the sex slaying of fashion writer and socialiteChrista
Worthington occurred in January 2002, exactly 14 (2
x 7) years ago ... and almost to the very day. This is
clearly a PREDICTION
FULFILLED. A potential for another such slaying exists due to
the Kinga Legg murder in May 2009.
Also, two more could occur in 2017, one of the victims British.
COMMENTS
(2/2/16): Well, there's a suspect now. And, yes
folks, it's kinky sex and a strangulation murder all over again.
This little hottie was apparently looking for kicks in one of the
most dangerous Italian clubs in Florence ... one that was a
hotbed for hard drugs and all kinds of edgeplay sex ... and
apparently she found her "Mr. Goodbar." Case closed?
Probably not. Keep checking in. Prediction is certainly fulfilled
in all respects, maybe moreso.
Jayne Mansfield: Her Death,
What Followed, Who May Be Next
NEW
PREDICTION: 11/26/14 -- DESCRIPTION: 8/4/15: Base 7 dating:March
2016.
There are two
base 7 system lines of tragedy that have a high potential to
repeat every seven years. The two sexiest women of the 20th
Century, ranked in the January 1999 issue of Playboy Magazine,
were both blondes and both died tragically. This line of tragedy
begins with the #2 female on the Playboy list: actress Jayne
Mansfield.
Jayne Mansfield,
whose career went into tailspin following the 1962 death of Marilyn
Monroe and the subsequent decision by film studios to go
for a new "look" and stop featuring blonde bombshell
actresses, died in an horrific automobile crash on June
29, 1967. Rumors
were that she was decapitated, but facts indicate severe head
trauma and a crushed skull. The "head" seen in
photographs on the hood near the windshield was actually her
blonde wig along with some of her real hair, and possibly also
pieces of her scalp.
I don't remember
Jayne Mansfield's death. I was 13 at the time and do recall some
bad taste joke that was making the rounds about that time which
my cousin told my father ... something about how her "air
padding" or "water wings" or whatever should have
saved her. He might have gotten it off Johnny Carson's The
Tonight Show for all I know.
Despite her
"dumb blonde" persona in film, Jayne was a highly
intelligent woman from what I have read, had a genious IQ score,
could speak five languages, and was an accomplished classical
pianist and violinist.
Jayne's
daughter, actress Mariska Hargitay, is a dead ringer for her
mother, at least that is what some people say. Jayne Mansfield
was 34 when she died in June 1967; Mariska Hargitay is 50. Her
differing age may protect her. But then again, these days
"50 is the new 30."
Fourteen (2 x 7)
years later, on November 29,
1981, the very famous actress Natalie Wood
was found dead in the waters off Santa Catalina island,
reportedly an accidental drowning although suspicions of foul
play still haunt the case to this day.
This case I
remember like it was last week. I had just turned 28 the month
before it happened. It was very shocking ... and Natalie Wood was
a superstar as actresses go, I will tell you.
Watching Natalie
Wood in Brainstorm when the film was finally released to
cable television in 1984 (it's theatrical release was in 1983)
was a very eerie experience. The subject of death and what
happens afterwards turned out to be a major theme in the movie.
Oddly, it was actress Louise Fletcher who played the tragic
heroine. Natalie goes on to live happily ever after with
Christopher Walken's character. That always left me with a
strange feeling: the living mourned as dead, and the dead living
happily ever after. I suppose, in the end, that is part of the
movie's charm and allure.
No one really
knows what happened to Natalie. I don't suppose we ever will
know. Sometimes I think it is better that way ... there is
something unhealthy about conspiracy theories I have come to feel
after being exposed to them for nearly two decades. Yet, like the
occult, like the Illuminati, they have come to be part of the new
normal of Internet existence. Life would just be too boring for
most people without the mystery, the wonder, the dread, and the
awe that surrounds such topics.
When Princess
Diana died her death hit me like a ton of bricks. At that time my
biggest fear wasn't that she would end up becoming the subject of
a conspiracy theory ... my biggest fear was that Princess Diana
would be forgotten, perhaps sooner rather than later, fading
forever into the long dark tunnel of history.
So maybe it is
the mysteries and conspiracy theories that keep our deceased
icons from the past alive: Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy,
Princess Diana ... and in this timeline currently under
discussion, Jayne Mansfield and Natalie Wood.
Fourteen (2 x 7)
years after the drowning death of Natalie Wood, on March
31, 1995, a
promising young singer/songwriter and actress named Selena
(SelenaQuintanilla-Pérez) was murdered by her
fan club manager Yolanda Saldívar. Selena, who was headed for
superstardom, was shot in the back. Selena was often called the
Mexican Madonna or the Tejano
version of Madonna.
Back in 2001, on my original
Madonna Prophecy pages, I indicated that if Selena had not been
murdered, it is likely it would have been Madonna herself who
would have been slain. Events suggest that may have been what was
originally destined to occur. Later the same year, on May
29, 1995, a
stalker named Robert Dewey Hoskins scaled the wall at the mansion
of pop music icon Madonna with the
intention of "slitting her throat from ear to ear" ...
attempting to make good on a threat he sent her by letter. He was
shot in the leg by a security guard, arrested, and tried in
January 1996 ... then sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Seven years later, on April
25, 2002, singer
and dancer Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes was
killed in a car crash. Footage of her final days, which includes
that from a live cam running in her car at the time of the fatal
accident, was turned into a documentary and aired on VH1 in 2007.
Three days earlier, on April 22,
2002, former porn icon Linda Lovelace
died from injuries suffered in a separate car crash. Both women,
therefore, died in the same manner as Jayne Mansfield.
Last time around on this
timeline occurredagain seven years later. On March
18, 2009,
actress Natasha Richardson died after sustaining
a brain injury during a skiing accident in Quebec. At first after
falling she got up and said she felt alright, but later in the
hotel complained about feeling ill. She was taken to the hospital
where she soon after slipped into a coma and was declared brain
dead. At that time she was then flown to a New York City hospital
where she was removed from life support and died the next day.
Like Natalie Wood, she was a major film star and was also from
the highly prestigious Redgrave acting
family. Natalie Wood was 43 when she died; Natasha Richardson was
45.
Notice how the interval of time
changed from every 14 years (1967 to 1981 to 1995) to every 7
years (1995 to 2002 to 2009). 2002 was like 1967 and 2009
somewhat like 1981. If this continues on to 2016, it will bring
us back to the kind of events that marked 1995: homicide and
attempted homicide.
There are events that have
occurred this year (2015) that may indicate that this is what
will happen next year.
First,there is
Pamela Anderson, a major blonde star
who is most reminiscent of Jayne Mansfield,
and ranked #8 on Playboy's list in 1999. She has not been without
her problems this year. In March 2015 she won a restraining order
against estranged husband Rick Salomon following a kinky sex
session gone wrong. She claimed that on the night of January
15, 2015 he
tried to smother her with a pillow and strangle her.
Next, there is the lone survivor
on this timeline, one who was endangered but is still alive ...
pop icon Madonna.
Madonna,
who has aped Jayne Mansfield, Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe, and
many other blonde actresses during her long career, had a most
spectacular "accident" on February 25,
2015: she was left with whiplash following her
on-stage tumble at the Brit Awards and said that she will not be
wearing any more long flowing capes tied tightly around her neck
at future shows.
"So here I am
marching in like the Queen and I got to the top of the stairs and
I pulled my silky string and it did not come undone,"
she said. "My two lovely Japanese dancers basically strangled
me off the stage. I had a choice - I could
either be strangled or fall
with the cape, and I fell."
However, the base 7 timing was wrong for her to
have died in this manner. September 2018 (Isadora
Duncan, September 1927)
would have been the right dating for an event such as this to
have happened ... with fatal consequences.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again in
another manner. Madonna's NECK REGION
has been the focal point of numerous, potentially deadly mishaps
in her life. The first time around it is was all fantasy when she
played Louise Oriel in her February
22, 1993 music
video "Bad Girl." She lies dead in her
bed at the beginning and near the end of the video, strangled by
a sex killer with her pantyhose. We also briefly see the deadly
attack near the end as well. The scenes are quite graphic. As
already discussed in text and video above, on May 29,
1995, stalker Robert DeweyHoskins
scaled the fence to her home with the intention of
"slitting her throat from ear to ear." On
August 16, 2005,
Madonna fell from a horse, cracking her ribs and breaking
her collarbone. This created a new vector of danger
for the singer that was repeated in 2012 and will occur again in
2019. On February 3, 2012,
stalker Hoskins escaped from a maximum
security mental hospital with the intention, once again, to
slice Madonna's throat with a knife, and
also the throat of actress Halle Berry.
He was captured a week later and returned to the hospital. Now,
on February 25,
2015, Madonna has suffered whiplash
and near strangulation.
If the trend continues,
then she will die from strangulation
... by accident,
homicide, or even suicide.
If
she is the "blonde elevated"
... a "supreme one" ... who
appears in Nostradamus' Quatrain 1.39, then she
will likely be found strangled or hanged in her bedroom, either
as a victim of someone with murderous intent or else by her own
hand. Either is possible since murder is not specifically
indicated in the quatrain. The timing would likely be 2016, 2018,
2019 or, if this year's mishap has set yet another new precedent,
then in 2022. Pretty soon Madonna is going to run out of
years, and will be in danger of strangling to death or by
snapping her neck every single year, 24/7.
The car singer and actress
Courtney Love was traveling in was attacked by
protesters during violent Uber demonstrations in Paris, Lyon, and
Marseilles. She tweeted: "They've ambushed our car and are
holding our driver hostage. they're beating the cars with metal
bats. this is France?? I'm safer in Baghdad . . . François
Hollande where are the f*****g police??? is it legal for your
people to attack visitors?"
She later escaped a rock hurling
lynch mob with the aid of motorcyclists.
That very same day a man was
beheaded at a gas factory in Lyon ... by a suspected ISIS
terrorist. At first it was linked to the riots by the news; then
to terrorism. Wherever there is discord and rioting, violence,
looting, mayhem and arson, there is also ISIS fanning the flames.
It could just as easily have been Courtney's head.
If Courtney's plight was not
enough, it was reported that famed blonde socialite Paris
Hilton was pranked on June 26,
2015 into thinking she would die in a plane
mishap. While this hardly qualifies as a prediction being
fulfilled, it may be an event that is offering insight into what
the chances are this event will actually happen by March 2016 or
before. In addition, there is another outstanding prediction for
2016 regarding an heiress/socialite being abducted and possibly
murdered.
Of course, Paris Hilton need not
necessarily be the socialite/heiress in actual danger, but she
could be. It is a warning for somebody to watch out!
The overall trend thus far this
year, moving towards an actual event next year,
suggests a violent death by accident or homicide, even mob
violence or an "execution" by terrorists. Thus,
decapitation or slitting of the throat by a group such as ISIS is
a very real possibility. Murder or accident by strangulation is
also suggested. Also, so far, the women who have had potentially
deadly mishaps this year have all been blondes,
with no exceptions.
The thing that should be
additionally worrying is the doubling that occurred in
2002: Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes
and Linda Lovelace. Both died exactly
the same way and in the same month.
Thus,
there could be two victims in 2016. One possible
candidate is Britney Spears, who, on February 11,
2016, will be the exact
same age Jayne Mansfield was when she
died ... age 34. Spears turns 34
on December 2,
2015.
It may only be a coincidence,
but the last female celebrity to die on this timeline, in 2009,
was actress Brittany Murphy, on December
20, 2009. Very
similar first name: Brittany and Britney.
This takes us back to 2002 with
the two names Lisa and Linda. But in this case, one similar name
would leave off at the end of the last year on the line (2009)
and the other similar name would begin the coming year on the
line (2016). Goodbye Brittany, hello and goodbye Britney.
Of course, Murphy's death has
been ruled as due to pneumonia, although some claim she was poisoned.
The persistent declaration of "natural causes" has kept
me from actually listing her as a second victim on this timeline
for the year 2009. If it turned out she was murdered, then there
was yet another doubling that occurred in 2009: Natasha
Richardson and Brittany Murphy.
Therefore, it is only
speculation that Britney Spears
might be one of two possible victims in 2016. Coincidence can
play a role in these things, but it certainly need not. No one
would have suspected, in advance, that Lisa Lopes and Linda
Lovelace would be the victims of 2002 nor would have anyone
suspected Natasha Richardson and Brittany Murphy would be in
2009. Then again, Latino names could have linked Selena Quintanilla-Pérez in 1995 to Lisa Lopes in 2002. If 2009
were to play out the same way in 2016, it would be more likely
that a Britishactress would be next, and not
an American one. But an American actress or singer (or one who is
both) would be the second. UNLESS, the two are switched
this time ... with an American female celebrity first early in
the year and a British actress near or at the end.
Britney Spears bookended by
Brittany Murphy into a tragic death on February 11, 2016 (or
thereabouts) a bit of a stretch?
Bear in mind that all the other
principal blondes I have been going on about since the early
2000s have all suffered serious mishaps this year:
Pamela Anderson, Madonna, Courtney Love, and Paris Hilton. The
only one missing from the list, so far, is Britney Spears. Each
month she gets closer to her 34th birthday (Jayne Mansfield's age
at death) and closer to the target year of 2016.
Thinking more outside the box
for the British "Natasha" actress might be British
actress and singer/musician Natalia Tena,
age 30, of Spanish descent, linking us back not only to Natasha
Richardson and Natalie Wood, but also to Spanish
Selena and Lisa Lopes.
Also one to consider, due to a
potential link to the supernatural or occult dimension, is
Ukrainian-born actress Natasha Blasick
who has claimed having had sex with a ghost twice in 2014.
Blasick starred in Paranormal Activity 2.
The most famous Natasha
is Canadian actress and model Natasha Henstridge,
age 40, with a slight sound of Richards from Richardson
contained in the "stridge" of Henstridge. Although
closer in age to 45-year-old Natasha Richardson, Henstridge is a
blonde, while Natalia Tena and Natasha Blasick have the darker
hair and eyes shared by Richardson and Natalie Wood. Both strike
me as being more likely to be in danger next year, but from what
cause is difficult to say. Like Natalie Wood, it may well be
something quite mysterious.
Perhaps more linked clues and
"coincidences" will make themselves known in time.
THINKING
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX
NEW CLUE: LEONA LEWIS
UPDATE
(8/27/15): This may mean nothing and may be
taking a left turn down a wrong-way street. But after
reviewing the Celebrity Deaths and Mishaps page for 2009
(there will be seven years between 2009 and 2016), I
discovered that on October 14,
2009, British pop singer Leona Lewis
was attacked by a crazed man during a signing of her book
"Dreams" in London. This is not the only issue.
Leona's name has two initials: L.L. Going
back seven years earlier to April 2002,
we have the car crash mentioned above which took the life
of singer Lisa Lopes (L.L.
again). Lisa Lopes and Leona
Lewis may not sound alike, but there is still
something in the cadence that is distressing. I find from
time to time that many celebrities who die tragically
suffer some sort of mishap in their history prior to
their deaths, and often it is seven or fourteen years
earlier (or very close to these numbers). Often these
mishaps are relatively minor ones, blips on the radar
screen. But when the victim of the mishap is found to
have some sort of similarity or similarities with someone
else on their timeline who has died, the odds increase
that seven years or 14 years later that person may have a
fatal or near-fatal event. This can also occur in the
half-seven interval (which translates into 3 1/2 years,
but if not, is rounded up to 4 years or rounded down to 3
years). Such was the case with Whitney Houston's
daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown.
She was found nearly drowned in a tub February 1, 2015
... almost exactly 3 years after her mother died in a tub
from drowning and drugs overdose on February 11, 2012.
Bobbi Kristina died on July 27 ... almost 3 1/2 years, a
half-seven, after her mother (three years, five months,
and 16 days). If a half-seven trend from 2013 repeats in
2016, there may be multiple suicides and suicide attempts
(Paris Jackson attempted suicide that year, and
fatalities from suicide were Mindy McCready, Gia
Allemand, and Jiah Khan).
THE TREND ...
THUS FAR ...
IS MURDER OF A
FEMALE POP SINGER
Not since 1995 have we witnessed anything
like this. As I indicated in the prediction above:
"Fourteen (2 x 7) years after the drowning
death of Natalie Wood, on March 31,
1995, a promising young singer/songwriter and
actress named Selena (SelenaQuintanilla-Pérez)
was murdered by her fan club manager Yolanda Saldívar. Selena,
who was headed for superstardom, was shot in the back. Selena was
often called the Mexican Madonna or
the Tejano version of Madonna."
(CNN) Police in Japan
have arrested a man in connection with the stabbing of a
pop star in Koganei City, western Tokyo.
Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrested Tomohiro Iwazaki, 27,
after he allegedly attacked pop idol Mayu Tomita with a
knife, stabbing her "several times," according
to Tokyo Metropolitan Police.
The attack occurred around 5 p.m. on
Saturday.
Media reports suggest
she was stabbed over 20 times.
The Japan Times reported
that the singer had earlier filed a complaint with Tokyo
Metropolitan Police saying that a man named Iwazaki had
been "persistently" sending her messages over
social media.
The performer was
scheduled to give a live performance later that night
where she was stabbed, according to her blog.
(CNN) Singer Christina
Grimmie, who starred in NBC's "The Voice," died
early Saturday after a gunman shot her following a
performance in Florida, authorities said.
A man armed with two
guns walked up to the 22-year-old singer as she was
signing autographs late Friday night and opened fire,
Orlando Police spokeswoman Wanda Ford said.
The gunman fatally shot
himself after Grimmie's brother tackled him, according to
authorities. "Her brother is a hero for saving and
stopping him from not hurting anyone else," Ford
said.
The singer had performed
at The Plaza Live theater Friday night, along with the
band Before You Exit, when the shooting broke out.
She was rushed to a hospital in critical condition and
died a few hours later.
"It is with a heavy heart that we can
confirm that Christina has passed and went home to be
with the Lord," her publicist Heather Weiss said in
a statement.
"She was shot at
her show in Orlando and, unfortunately, didn't survive
the gunshot wounds. We ask at this time that you respect
the privacy of her family and friends in their time of
mourning."
Grimmie finished third
on Season 6 of "The Voice." She was discovered
on YouTube, where she has a massive following.
Before the shooting, the
singer posted video on social media encouraging fans to
come out to the theater.
About 60 to 100 people
attended the show, Ward said. It's unclear how the gunman
got a gun into the venue or whether attendees were
checked for weapons.
"We don't know if
he was just a crazy fan that followed her on Twitter or
on social media," Ward said. "We really don't
know ... it's undetermined at this point."
Police have not named
the suspect or given a motive for the shooting.
Christina
Grimmie, already a star on YouTube and the TV
series, "The Voice," was headed for major international
stardom when she was fatally shot ... not by her manager, as was
the case with Selena in 1995, 21 (3 x
7) years earlier, but by an obsessed fan. A stalker.
Like the one who stabbed Mayu
Tomitaover 20 times.
Christina Grimmie was the
2016 version of Selena it would appear. Yes, this
is a PREDICTION
FULFILLED.
Unfortunately, the story, or trend, does
not end with the untimely and brutal death of Christina Grimmie.
After the murder of Selena in March 1995,
two months later followed the attempted murder of megastar
Madonna ... by an obsessed stalker. As I indicated
in the prediction above: "Back in 2001, on my original
Madonna Prophecy pages, I indicated that if Selena had not been
murdered, it is likely it would have been Madonna herself who
would have been slain. Events suggest that may have been what was
originally destined to occur. Later the same year, on May
29, 1995, a
stalker named Robert Dewey Hoskins scaled the wall at the mansion
of pop music icon Madonna with the
intention of "slitting her throat from ear to ear" ...
attempting to make good on a threat he sent her by letter. He was
shot in the leg by a security guard, arrested, and tried in
January 1996 ... then sentenced to 10 years in prison."

Puente, USA TODAY 5:43 p.m. EDT June 24, 2016
Top Gun actress Kelly
McGillis says she was attacked by a stranger in her North
Carolina home last week, so she got a permit to carry a
concealed weapon.
McGillis, 58, posted a
long message on Facebook on June 17 explaining what
happened when she returned to her Hendersonville, N.C.,
home (after a theological lecture about loving others) to
find a light on and her front door unlocked.
She says she was
confronted by a screaming woman who accused her of
stalking her and attacked her when she ran outside to
call 911. She and the woman fought; the woman grabbed her
cellphone and threw it on the ground.
"I got worried that
there may be someone else in the house with her. We have
quite a few guns and lots of ammo and that's when I
started to panic," McGillis wrote. "Thinking
that if they have one of them I could be shot. I ran out
the front door and called 911."
Local TV reports and People reported the Henderson County
sheriff's office arrested and charged a 38-year-old
woman, Laurence Marie Dorn, with second-degree burglary,
misdemeanor larceny, misdemeanor stalking, assault and
battery and interfering with emergency communication. She
is being held in the Henderson County Jail under a
$60,000 bond. There was no phone listing for her.
McGillis writes that she was left
scratched and bruised but is otherwise OK. She says she
got a concealed-carry gun permit to protect herself after
the incident.
"They rushed me
through the conceal and carry course so I am armed and
ready," she posted Thursday. "The Henderson
County Sheriff's department has been absolutely the
greatest. Here's my first target practice. I only missed
five from the center out of thirty rounds. All hit the
target."
She expressed concern
for a little girl who was with the woman.
"Mental illness
takes many hostages. I don't know her name...but I would
like to asked that you pray for her and her mother,"
McGillis wrote.
Later, she also posted a
long essay on the reasons, including being the victim of
other crimes, that she got a concealed-carry permit
despite advice not to.
"For those of you
on my feed that are telling me that getting a cc permit
is not the best choice for me to make, well let me fill
you in on a few things that have lead me to this
decision. Which by the way, I have struggled over for a
long long time. Not being pro gun fanatic. When I was 12
I was gang raped by three men."
The National Rifle
Association cheered her on its Facebook page. "Not
willing to be a victim again, actress Kelly McGillis has
decided to exercise her Second Amendment rights, and
protect herself by getting a concealed carry
permit," it said.
McGillis is best known
for playing a flight instructor and Tom Cruise's love
interest in 1986's Top Gun.
Kelly McGillis
is age 58. Pop icon Madonna is age 57,
but will turn 58 on August 16,
2016 (81616). That will be about the same time,
roughly two months, after the murder of Christina Grimmie as it
was following the murder of Selena in 1995.
Of course it could be another close call
like May 1995 ... or someone else who is super-famous.
Like former American Idol singer Kelly Clarkson.
From "The Voice" to "American Idol"?

The Second of Three Vectors
For a Virgin Galactic Shuttle Flight Catastrophe
SpaceShip Two Explodes at Launch on Reentry or in Space

NEW
PREDICTION: 11/26/14 --DESCRIPTION: 11/20/15:
Base 7 dating:January-April 2016.
The precedent
for the predicted February 2015
explosion of SpaceShipTwo on reentry was the Columbia
Space Shuttle Disaster of February 1,
2001. The prediction was fulfilled
three months early when SpaceShipTwo exploded on reentry
Halloween,October
31,2014,
killing the pilot and seriously injuring the co-pilot. I still
insist, if such test flights had not been made, that a planned
civilian flight with a number of celebrities on board, including
Lady Gaga, scheduled for February 2015 would have caused their
deaths in the same manner. Because Gaga was planning on singing
in space, depending on what song she sang, this could have made
her fiery death the "fall of Lucifer" prophecy found in
the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 14.
No "Lucifer
scenario" is likely in 2016 since all flights will be test
flights, no celebrities ... female or otherwise.
That's right.
Virgin Galactic is at it again, planning more test flights in
2016 with a possible projected civilian space flight sometime in
2017. Talk about tempting the fates. Then Lady Gaga will have her
chance. Maybe by that time occult singing sensations Katy Perry
and Madonna will join the crew. Three Lucifers for the price of
one!
Currently there
is a six-man or seven-man crew planned, headed by the new arrival
of a female commander. It being reproted that Virgin Galactic has
hired Kelly Latimer, a combat veteran
and test pilot for NASA, Boeing and the U.S. Air Force, as the
first woman to join its six-man pilot corps. It is not clear to
me if Kelly makes the six-man crew number as a seven-man crew or
if her addition makes her as one of the six.
Having a female
crew member on board the test flights, especially one as
prominent as Kelly Latimer, is bad business as two out of three
NASA space disasters involved high profile female crew members: ChristaMcAuliffe,
who died in the 1986 Challenger Disaster, and Laurel
Clark, who was one of the doomed crew members in
the 2001 Columbia Disaster.
Despite this, the precedent for
another space-related tragedy in 2016 is from the pre-lunar
landing days of the Apollo program. The date was January
27,1967,
and the space vehicle was Apollo 1.
I'll now quote Wikipedia:
Thus, the
scenario now is for an explosion to occur at take off or very
early in the ascent stage in January 2016. However, it is being
reported that the new SpaceShip Two will not be completed until February
2016, so it appears the month of January
will be uneventful. Even so, January 27, 1967 was very close to
February 1967 ... only five days before. Thus, technically our
revised vector would now be February-April 2016.
Of course, one never knows if the ship will be completed
ahead of schedule or if some other mishap, a possible warning,
may occur in January. So best to keep the original dating for the
"window of opportunity" being January-April
2016.
Why is April 2016 at the other end of the
"window of opportunity?" That is due to a Russian
space disaster that occurred the same year, 1967, in the
month of April:
Thus, our window
of opportunity for a 2016 disaster is January-April
2016.
The Apollo 1
explosion provides precedent for an early "take-off"
explosion. On the other hand, the Soyuz 1 disaster creates
precedent for yet another reentry tragedy. Of the two, the early
"take-off" scenario is more likely since the crew is
not Russian.
The inclusion of Kelly Latimer
increases the chances that this accident will be far
worse than what happened in October 2014.
Instead of one
dead pilot, there may six or seven crew members killed in
an exploding ball of fire.
If the
Nostradamus quatrain quoted at top is correct, there may
be as many as nine victims.
Kelly
Latimer may even be the mysterious
"Kappa, Lambda,
Theta" of Nostradamus prophecy.
The
"Kappa" is for the leading
"K" in Kelly.
There
are three "Lambda"s:
a double lambda in Kelly and a
lambda to start off her second name, Latimer.
The
"Theta" sets off the rest of
her last name: Latimer.
Why did I
include an "explosion in space" as a possibility in my
prediction for February 2015 (fulfilled October
2014) and have done again for January-April
2016
(and will likely include for January 2017)? After all, there has
never been a disaster or tragedy in space before.
It is precisely
for that reason: because there has never been an explosion of a
space vehicle in space itself before. It has no precedent. Yet it
is bound to happen one day, sooner or later, as long as
manned space flight programs continue. Every future base 7 vector
based on Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia must contain the
suspicion that an explosion in space may occur.
It would be
folly indeed if another SpaceShip Two disaster does
occur early next year, and afterwards more test flights follow,
successfully in those cases, with the idea of a civilian
flight still being attempted in 2017. It will almost
guarantee the most horrifying air disaster for civilians,
including many prominent celebrities, since the fiery destruction
of the passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg ("the
Hindenburg") on May 6, 1937. Something also to keep
in mind when May 2021 rolls around.
Largest
Anti-Nuclear Protests in History Take Place in Europe and America
NEW
PREDICTION: 12/6/14 --DESCRIPTION: 12/19/15:
Base 7 dating:April 2016.
Some events are
becoming quite unremarkable, not because they are not of major
importance, but because they are happening so frequently. School
shootings and mass shootings in other public places are a good
example of events that occur multiple times every year when there
was once a time a singular event of this kind would be one of the
major news stories of the year, even of the decade. To say that
mass shootings are now commonplace is a sad commentary on our
times.
Mass protests
are also beginning to fall into this category. Almost every year
there are notable mass protests in either the United States or
Europe or Asia (or all three). They are not over the same issues
of course, some are anti-government, some are anti-austerity,
some are anti-war, some are anti-immigration, some are
anti-racism, and so on. But there really hasn't been a
major anti-nuclear rally anywhere in quite some
time, as can be seen by the image used above from 1983 (most
available images are quite old). I suspect that is about to
change now that Russia and the United States are gearing up for a
possible nuclear war. It stands to reason that if the world
really is moving in the direction of World War III that there
will be unprecedented numbers of people across the planet
demonstrating against not only the building up of nuclear weapons
arsenals and possible preparations to use them, but against the
potential for global war itself.

I decided to use
an image collage (above) of one of the more memorable recent
examples of this.
In all honesty,
and I have been following this for some time, the Brits can end
up rioting, looting, and setting fire to cars, buildings and
people for any one of a million reasons. Who knows why this will
happen? Unrest over war in the Middle East. Backlash retaliation
against immigrants. Good ol' anti-austerity. It's a king's ransom
to whoever figures this one out (not that I'm paying it, I can
hardly afford to survive on what I make). Lately this is almost
an annual event, and when that happens base 7 gets thrown right
out the window because a saturation point is reached.
Other events
that have reached saturation point: Israel and Gaza
wars, Israel firing on Lebanon or Syria for a one day scare
story, ISIS executions, school shootings, mass shootings
anywhere, terrorism, stupid celebrities killing themselves or
risking death in other ways, and also terrible weather.
At this rate,
pretty soon I'll be out of business.
"As if the LHC is
not enough reason to worry, according to letters from 
At the time of the Hearst abduction, she was
unknown to the public. It was her abduction and captivity and
involvement in crime that brought her into the media spotlight.
The same can be said about the murdered and raped and murdered
heiresses and socialites. They were fairly unknown or completely
unknown to the public until they became homicide victims.
First, there is
Pamela Anderson, a major blonde star
who is most reminiscent of Jayne Mansfield,
and ranked #8 on Playboy's list in 1999. She has not been without
her problems this year. In March 2015 she won a restraining order
against estranged husband Rick Salomon following a kinky sex
session gone wrong. She claimed that on the night of January
15, 2015 he
tried to smother her with a pillow and strangle her. 
Madonna,
who has aped Jayne Mansfield, Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe, and
many other blonde actresses during her long career, had a most
spectacular "accident" on February 25,
2015: she was left with whiplash following her
on-stage tumble at the Brit Awards and said that she will not be
wearing any more long flowing capes tied tightly around her neck
at future shows. 
If
she is the "blonde elevated"
... a "supreme one" ... who
appears in Nostradamus' Quatrain 1.39, then she
will likely be found strangled or hanged in her bedroom, either
as a victim of someone with murderous intent or else by her own
hand. Either is possible since murder is not specifically
indicated in the quatrain. The timing would likely be 2016, 2018,
2019 or, if this year's mishap has set yet another new precedent,
then in 2022. Pretty soon Madonna is going to run out of
years, and will be in danger of strangling to death or by
snapping her neck every single year, 24/7.
Thus,
there could be two victims in 2016. One possible
candidate is Britney Spears, who, on February 11,
2016, will be the exact
same age Jayne Mansfield was when she
died ... age 34. Spears turns 34
on December 2,
2015.
