PROPHECY NEWS FLASH!

Predictions for 2012

Is now Available Online

Friends,
I will be on Coast to Coast AM, this Monday (23 January, at 11 pm (Pacific) for a three-hour prophecy marathon with George Noory as host. We will go over many predictions in my new e-Book concerning this important year 2012 and how it will dramatically impact the climate in politics as well as weather, the economy, seismic activity, and will rock the world of seven billion people and counting.

It is an interesting coincidence that this Sunday History Channel crowded the airwaves with three documentaries in which I figure prominently as a guest. The most important of these is Nostradamus: 2012. In it, you will see a crowd of Twenty-Twelver experts make their pitch that Nostradamus foresaw the winter solstice of 2012, purportedly marking the end of a great cycle of civilization as plotted by pre-Columbian astronomers of the ancient Central American Mayan civilization.

You will see me often talking about Nostradamus in the show, but you will not see me endorse the other expert views that 12-21-12, as plotted by the most accurate calendar ever calculated without computers, marks the end of the world or the end of the world as we have known it and Nostradamus agreed with this finding.

You will hear the talking heads around me hype the “Lost Book of Nostradamus” as grounds for tying Nostradamus to 2012, using as evidence the book’s nebulous watercolor illustrations pointing with the constellation Sagittarius’ bow and arrow at a coal sack in space that marks the galactic center. We are led to imagine that Nostradamus has painted this point and the lineup that will happen between the Sun and Earth with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy just like what was foreseen to happen this coming winter solstice by the Maya.

One thing I aim to do with my prophecies for 2012 e-book is to dispel this nonsense. For one thing, Nostradamus could not draw and many of the watercolors are poorly aped copies of anti-papal, Cathar mystical drawings composed centuries before Nostradamus was born. The book in question is not only “lost” it is falsely attributed to Nostradamus.

In addition, the Mayan “galactic alignment” has already happened, making 2012 not the “end all” year, but certainly another significant stepping stone in times beyond end time on the path of History’s quickening pace.

That exact alignment took place 13 years ago! The Maya may have been good without computers but modern science and calculations made at Jet Propulsion Laboratory have shown the exact galactic line up took place sometime between the winter solstices of 1998 and 1999!

Nostradamus DID NOT write the Lost Book of Nostradamus or draw its altogether vague prophetic watercolors.

Nostradamus NEVER mentioned the year 2012!

What Nostradamus DID write was his prediction that 1999 was the pivotal year when history would begin its apocalyptic inclination towards a new cycle of centuries, a new age.

To be fair, Mayan prophecy of end times told rightly or wrongly has achieved a critical mass of popular attention and for better or worse my new book of prophecies will chronicle that 2012 has become an end time of sorts, because we have imposed significant deadlines upon it.

US President Barack Obama faces a political doomsday. The US government stagnates in a critical mass of political gridlock too. Time is running out in Washington DC to get America’s fiscal house in order before a deficit bomb blows.

US Congress may let the clock run out on protection agencies, health and labor laws shielding citizens from dirty water, food, air. As many as 191 nations across the world wait for 2012 to end with pollution-bated breath. Legally binding targets set by the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 to reduce climate emissions that contribute to global warming will run out.

Gabriel’s Horn may blow, taking down European banks that can no longer postpone the inevitable: to either sustain or shed bankrupt member countries of the Euro Monetary Union. End times are coming to the US-Pakistani alliance with significant consequences for the US-NATO occupation of Afghanistan.

NeoCons are also blowing their horns very hard and loud from the halls of Washington to Jerusalem to propagate a war with Iran over its purported nuclear weapons program, just like they successfully NeoConned America in 2002 to invade and occupy Iraq with little actionable evidence.

A string of critical mass actions make 2012 the year when corporate push comes to citizen shove on the streets of the world. The Arab Spring of 2011 will give birth to an “American Spring” in 2012.

My Oracle in this new e-Book takes you on a journey through the days of this pivotal year, the first real “Oh Shit!” year of the 21st century. It will help you anticipate and understand what is really going down in current events in a year when the mollifying media forces of corporate interests try hard to steer your intelligence away from our quickening history like never before.

2012 is not a year of galactic alignment. It is a year of a great convergence, a collision between the old humanity and it status quo, its dogmas and fossilized traditions of religious and political control pitted against the rise of a new humanity that sees change as an imperative to survive and evolve a better world out of the coming planetary upheaval.

The forces of the past-oriented humanity – the humanity that does not wish to be purified – would like to distract you from responding positively and proactively to the gathering clouds of global warming and general weirdness making undeniable the reality that times now are definitely not normal and you need to do something about making real changes beyond belief.

The source of this mass-hypnotic campaign is an old aristocracy in new clothes, masquerading under new titles. They are the corporate order. They aim to disempower people from bringing about economic and ecological reforms that go against unbridled profit through uncontrolled, unregulated exploitation of Earth’s resources and people.

An unprecedented number of people around the world are now aware of the dangers of global warming, overpopulation, and the latter’s consequence of unsustainable food and water use. Today, hundreds of millions of people are practicing meditation, more than the sum total of all those who meditated in the last 5,000 years. Through such efforts in self-observation, people across the world are becoming aware they must break out of conditioned patterns and sever their ties with those fossilized traditions of the past that will bring on the coming catastrophes.

Predictions for 2012 is part of that spiritual revolution. Read more about it here, click on 2012.

WELCOME TO ALL NEW READERS OF
HOGUEPROPHECY.COM

Happy Chinese New Year of the Dragon to you all, both long-time and new readers of this web site. There is quite a flood of new readers pouring in because of my scheduled appearances on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory on Monday night and the Kevin Smith Show on Wednesday evening. I thought it would be a good time to renew for veteran readers and introduce to all you new readers a brief manifesto of what HogueProphecy.com is all about.

Prophecy is an echo of actions engaged in the only time we known in which we are empowered to affect a change in destiny: the eternity of the present – this atomic moment. This little flash of Present is the silent explosion that lights the soul, every moment, dying and being reborn. From awareness of this profound and immediate moment come insights, intelligence and all creative solutions to human and global problems.

I am a scholar and purveyor of prophecy who is anti-prophetic. My interest is in taking you through the potentials of the future to help make you better understand the realities of the present day, which these potentials echo. If those gifted with future sight share with us prophecy that reverberates a dissonance, they are only telling us to change our “tune” in the present to something more harmonious.

Only a humanity that brings its full life force and energy into the present moment can change the dire dissonance of the future reverbing back to us in the potential realm of tomorrow.

Hogueprophecy.com provides a matrix of information where current events and potential converge for examination and understanding. As its creator, I bring to this website not only the scholarship and knowledge of prophets and their techniques from around the world, from all recorded times, I also bring the subjective experience of the prophet from direct experience. One cannot know love by simply studying it empirically. Prophecy, like love, is intimate, subjective – experiential. I strive to find a middle way as a correspondent reporting on the future from a place of meditative awareness poised between intellectual scholarship and existential practice of prophecy.

The idiom I choose to present these findings is in articles posted here at Hogueprophecy once or twice a week, if possible, numbering on average around 150,000 words and 72 to 106 articles each year.

Nostradamus.

I augment a prodigious output of free information composing and posting e-Books you can download that delve far deeper into prophetic themes. Following the tradition of the 16th-century French seer Nostradamus, these books include releasing an almanac of prophecies for each year and if I can, one other book each year enlarging on an important theme.

I would like to either refresh my current – or introduce to my newest readers – links to pages presenting an overview of three of these prophetic e-books that have only gained more importance and documented accuracy with the passing of time.

1. Nostradamus: The War with Iran

Will there be a military crisis when the navies of the United States and Iran play chicken in the most narrow and crowded oil shipping lanes of the world in 2012?

Nostradamus’ visions are filled with descriptions of fleets being melted and sunk in the “Arabian Gulf” (the name people of his time gave to what we call the oil rich hotbed of the Persian Gulf). He describes the fate of those along the northern coast of the Strait of Hormuz, named outright in his prophecies written over 450 years ago, from where Iranian vessels are based.

One fleet foundering in the Arabian Gulf is that of the “true serpent”. “The Trident” melts the other. Is he trying to describe the “smooth and alien shape” of what he calls in his prophecies an “iron fish” – a future US Trident submarine? Or, is he cryptically describing a trident symbol hidden in the abstract shape of a red rose of the martyr centered in the white stripe of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary tricolor national flag?

US Navy Jack.

Could the “true serpent” be a 16th-century man’s attempt to explain the US Navy Jack, the flag flown by the US Fifth Fleet on station patrolling the Persian Gulf that displays a rattlesnake over a field of thirteen white and red stripes, under which is written the American Revolutionary motto “Don’t Tread on Me”?

I collected all of Nostradamus’ references to a future war with Iran in early 2007. Given the rising tensions and brinkmanship of US and Iranian navies in the Strait of Hormuz, it might be good to re-examine my interpretations especially as Nostradamus clearly dates the window for a war in those waters which, if it happens will directly impact your lives.

Who is Mabus, the Third and Final Antichrist foreseen by Nostradamus?

2. Nostradamus and the Antichrist: Code Named MABUS

I wrote an e-Book in the spring and summer of 2008 that even now, as I read it again, the message reads as if it were written yesterday. I would not update anything. It describes the most burning controversy in the study of Nostradamus.

Who is the third and final Antichrist he foresaw?

Is he alive among us today?

Nostradamus is unique among prophets foreseeing not one but three Antichrists. He gives them cryptic names. The first may have been Napoleon King (Napaulon Roy). The second (Hister), Adolf Hitler.

The third he code names Mabus. Using Nostradamus’ laws of anagram word play, there are a number of modern leaders and jihad terrorists from the Middle East as well as their chief adversaries – two modern American presidents – whose names can be decoded from Mabus. Whether they are intended or not by Nostradamus, the four principle candidates are Saddam Hussein, G.W. Bush, Osama bin Laden, and the current US president, Barack Obama. The latter even has a member of his cabinet who is named “Mabus”. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus to be exact, who is quite busy with a naval standoff with Iran in the Persian Gulf.

See how each man, even those recently killed, have each become suspects in prophecy’s police line up for a future Antichrist by clicking on Mabus.

3. The Last Pope and the Last Pope Revisited

Pope Benedict XVI is aging. He is in his mid-80s and was seen rolled into Christmas Midnight Mass held at 10 pm because of his age. There have been rumors that he might step down as Vicar of Christ for over 1 billion Catholic believers, though I doubt he will relinquish the throne of St. Peter. What is a mathematic certainty is the days of Benedict XVI are numbered. With his passing, we enter the most important period in Catholic Prophecy. We will witness a new pope ordained who the Medieval Irish prophet, St. Malachy foretold will be the last pope before Judgment Day.

Pope Benedict XVI.

It is said that St. Malachy in 1148 listed 111 successors to the throne of St. Peter, naming each with a cryptic Latin motto. For instance Pope Benedict’s predecessor, John Paul II, is called De labore solis (from the Sun’s Eclipse). John Paul was born in 1920 on a solar eclipse and interred in his tomb under St. Peter’s Basilica in 2005 on the day of a solar eclipse.

Pope Benedict was foreseen as De gloria olivae (from the Glory of the Olive). Catholic monks of the Benedictine order had anticipated a pope from their ranks would rule during the times of the Apostasy (crisis of faith) for the Catholic Church – this Christian sect’s version of the Tribulation before the Apocalypse. Though Cardinal Ratzinger took on the name of St. Benedict as pope, he is not actually from that holy order; however, there is a sect of Benedictines charged with preparing the world for the apocalypse as foretold by Jesus Christ on the Mount of Olives. They are known as the Olivetans (Olivae). Thus it is believed that the reign of Pope Benedict marks the beginning of the tribulations of the Church. One need only recognize the great sexual abuse scandal rocking Benedict’s Church these days and wonder if it is a sign of this. Especially when evidence mounts that Benedict before he was crowned successor to Pope John Paul was actively engaged in suppressing evidence of priests sexually abusing young boys around the world.

Benedict’s name and destiny is hidden in the 111th motto of St. Malachy. After him comes the Last Pope, mysteriously named after the first Bishop of Rome, Petrus Romanus (Peter of Rome). His name appears in St. Malachy’s coda to his prophecies – a vision that may be only months or a few years away:

During the last persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there shall sit Peter of Rome, who shall feed the sheep amidst many tribulations, and when these have passed, the City of the Seven Hills [Rome] shall be utterly destroyed, and the awful Judge will judge the people.

It really does not matter. I always felt Romney would be one of the last two candidates standing. But events are ever the judge of predictions. Yesterday, Governor Perry heeded Gingrich’s call to rally conservative votes against Romney by leaving the race. He endorsed the former Speaker of the House. Back in June, I predicted Perry would still be in the race with Romney and would win the nomination on a conservative surge. That was wrong.

Well, as Governor Perry famously would say, “oops!”

I have much better luck picking winners of presidential campaigns by popular vote, such as Nixon over Humphrey in 1968 by a half million votes, Nixon over McGovern in 1972, Carter over Ford (1976), Reagan over Mondale (twice, 1980 and 1984). Nevill Drury, you still owe me a spaghetti dinner in Sydney Australia, next time I am there. That was the bet. I picked H.W. Bush over Dukakis in 1988 and you believed it was impossible.

I did write in 1983 for the Rajneesh Times a forecast foreseeing Reagan as a two-term president. H.W. Bush would follow as a one-term president. After him would come a two-term democrat president in 1992. That turned out to be Bill Clinton, who went on to win a second term.

The Bush-Gore contest in 2000 generated my oracle’s most cryptic message that many of you heard on Coast to Coast AM and the Jeff Rense programs before the election. The message was, Al Gore would win over George W. Bush by 500,000 votes but I was going to be “equally right” and “equally wrong” about Gore. Well, as it turned out Gore did win by a half-million popular votes but was denied the presidency by five votes out of four in the US Supreme Court over the ballot counting dispute in Florida.

Hogueprophecy was born around that time and since then I have documented the presidential victories of G.W. Bush over John Kerry in 2004 and Barack Obama over John McCain by around 8 percent of the popular vote in 2008.

Now, when you look at this record of accomplishment of 11 and 0, there is enough to make both Democrats and Republicans angry at my predictions picking candidates they do not want in the White House. So, when I say once again what I have been forecasting since January 2009 that Barack Obama will win a second term, do not think I am saying that with prophetic bias. If the prediction upsets you, look at your own expectations and biases when judging the guy who accurately forecast Republican victories in seven out of eleven presidential contests.

Anyway, I like to take risks and I often play the “Pick the Loser” prophetic game even though I do it with mixed results. Despite Gingrich’s surge in South Carolina, other primaries are coming with more national impact. Moderate Republicans are still alive and well in the GOP. After the Super Tuesday primaries, Romney will seize the lead and never look back. Romney will be running against Obama for 2012. You can read why the stars and the economy favor Obama for re-election as well as many more details about the 2012 Presidential Election by reading Predictions for 2012.

Now to Iran…

As promised, I want to share a fascinating prophecy from the 16th-century seer, Michel Nostradamus that predicts a showdown in “Carmania” the 16th-century name for the northern coast of the Strait of Hormuz. This is the narrow passage where a third of all global oil exports pass. This is the waterway the Iranian Navy threatens to block if economic sanctions being considered by Washington DC cripples Iran’s only significant export resource. The US Navy has also warned that any attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz would cross a red alarm line and there would be military action in reaction.

So, with that said, I wish to quote a passage I wrote in early 2007 for my e-Book, Nostradamus: The War with Iran.

***

The End of the Islamist Dream?

10 Q31
The holy empire will come into Germany,
The Ishmaelites will find open places:
Asses will also want Carmania,
The supporters all covered by earth.

Carmania is a Persian territory on the northern shore of the Strait of Hormuz. Since Nostradamus wrote this, nothing historically significant has taken place there until recent times. We have to keep our eyes open for the French word sainct (“holy,” or “sacred”). Nostradamus hides his blasphemies from the Church inquisitors by playing off a Gothic “s” or “ƒ” for either “s” or “f.” Just like you can turn “friend” into “fiend” Nostradamus takes swipes at the Catholic Church by hiding fainct (false) behind ƒainct (sacred). This time around the false religion is that brand of Islam worshipped by terrorists. The “false” holy or fundamentalist fanatics, like al-Qaeda’s leader, Usama bin Laden, dream of establish- ing an intolerant Caliphate across the Islamic world. It was the al-Qaeda cell in Hamburg, Germany, that financed and planned the September 11 attacks on America in 2001.

The Ishmaelites (read: the Arabs of al-Qaeda) find “open” spaces in Germany to base a war of terror on Europe and the US.

Line three shifts attention to Iran, to Carmania, the northern coast of the Strait of Hormuz where so much of the world’s oil exports pass and can be so easily cut off. The asses is Nostradamus’ general condemnation of the Islamic fundamentalists of Iran, near past and future. Their brand of fearful, grim, Saturnian Islamist ideology will land its adherents inside white shrouds of Islamic burial. It predicts also the final burial of Usama bin Laden, or Ahmadinejad, or Ayatollah Khamenei’s or any other Jihadists’ mad hateful dream of a totalitarian theocratic world Caliphate. The war with Iran will initiate the beginning of “their” ideology’s end in naval suicide attacks across the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.

Things are not what they seem. There is saber rattling in the Persian Gulf (or what Nostradamus called in his predictions about a future war with Iran, the “Arabian” Gulf). Your corporately funded and controlled mainstream news outlets like to prey on the childishness of the masses. They play our overlording parent waving a saber baby rattle to attract a child’s wondering attention as the nurse, as it were, prepares the painful butt shot.

Watch the rattling saber, my fellow babies. Coo your concern and fatal attraction to a war being pushed upon you with Iran by a military industrial complex that needs to find another market in the highly profitable big business of war armaments and deterrents in the Middle East. The war business lost the Iraq market with the pullout of the US military occupation. Pakistan’s radicalization will soon pinch off the war market in Afghanistan, much sooner than the deadline of 2014, by the way.

The public’s infantile attention is directed elsewhere, away from real dangers lurking in the highly unstable and Islamist-bound regime along the Indus River. Pakistan with its crash program to triple its nuclear weapons stockpile is adding 200 more 25 to 35 kiloton nuclear warheads to its current arsenal of 100 nukes by 2021. The press obsesses on Iran maybe someday building an atomic bomb. Terrorist cells train in Pakistan in the vicinity of 100-plus nuclear warhead stockpiles TODAY. A Pakistani military and government already heavily infiltrated by jihadist sympathizers guard these Islamic A-bombs. The same military and government that often give Afghani Taliban logistical and intelligence support when they attack US and NATO forces occupying Afghanistan.

Iran is years away from having the ability to build atomic weapons. At any moment now, a Pakistani warhead or radioactive materials stockpiled to build hundreds more could be smuggled to the Taliban or what is left of al-Qaeda. The tools of nuclear terrorism can at any moment be smuggled out of Pakistani military bases and handed over to emerging and strengthening organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba. This Pakistani based jihadist network effectively shot up downtown Mumbai India in November 2008.

Iran may soon become a danger, but Pakistan, right now, IS a danger and its growing instability becomes a more clear and present threat to human peace and stability than what the Iranians may or may not be doing with their nuclear civilian program at this time. I predict it will be proven that Iran is only learning how to make an atomic bomb. They will not actually build them. Israel introduced these awful weapons of mass atomic destruction into the Middle East in the 1960s. They now have an arms race lead of an estimated 80 to 300 warheads. It is impossible to catch up given the scrutiny and economic sanctions placed on Iran.

Rattle, rattle, rattle goes the sword of war in its scabbard, daily and nightly on the 24-hour news cycles of corporately left-leaning CNN to corporately right-leaning Fox News propaganda organs of the politically two-faced aristocracy of our times. The elites do not cite bloodlines as their reason for being the alpha male and female class. They cite bottom lines of immense hoards of corporate wealth and influence over totalitarian and democratic government politicians of our day.

They have an agenda. They want to “inject” something into the backside of the Middle East to control the juice of their affluence, the black blood that runs our civilization: the last location of easy-to-drill petroleum that happens to lie underneath volatile Arab and Persian states. Since 2006 and in my book about war with Iran, I have been writing about a movement masquerading behind the US and Israeli governments that is neo-Imperialist, Neo-Conservative. It has the former deputy Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz and the former Vice President Dick Cheney as its earliest author and editor of a manifesto first introduced shortly after the end of the Cold War, that strategically planned a new way for American superpower to remain relevant after the Soviet Union’s collapse. In short, America with help or unilaterally must take down the rogue regimes of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and the Islamic Revolutionary regime of Iran so that oil can run free and fully under the sphere of influence of the United States. If war and occupation must happen in Iraq and Iran, then so be it. As I listed in a recent article Israel Iran Strike, the Wolf, his Dick and many other leading figures in the Neo-Conservative movement crowded the G.W. Bush administration’s cabinet. They successfully pushed the US Congress in October of 2002 to grant war powers to the president based on a lot of saber rattling and no solid evidence that Saddam Hussein had a stockpile of weapons of mass destruction that was an imminent threat to the United States. All complete and hyperbolic BS, as it turned out, but it got the Neo-Conservatives half way to their goal, even though it did not get them the oil because the Bush administration proved to be a bungling gaggle of faux Imperialists. Saddam’s Iraq went down. Iran, you are next.

I have also been at pains to forewarn my readers that this cabal of Neo-Cons marries right wing corporate interests in the US to Zionist supremacists in Israel, which would have the US expend its treasure and its blood to fulfill the foreign policies of Israel. This has become an absurdist turn of events where the proxies control the superpower. I understand why Israel might seek to manipulate a friend and military giant to wage its wars and aggressive foreign policies in a region hostile to its existence. I understand why Iran might want to know how to build an atomic bomb when hundreds of Israeli warheads are pointed at its people, which an any point might be unleashed.

What you, my readers, need to understand is that Iran’s oil reserves are dwindling. Teheran plans in the next few decades to build 15 nuclear plants because the next generation of Iranians will need a new industry beyond the fading oil export industry, and a new source of electricity and power to generate it. Iran MUST go ahead with its nuclear program for its economic survival and the only way it can pay for it is to export oil while there is still oil to ship out through the Strait of Hormuz.

Cut its ability to export and you have cut Iran’s economic future below the knees. When you shut a country’s economy down and stop talking to them, you leave that country only a military option. More on that a little later.

Know this also, that Iran seeks like any other signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the knowledge to build atomic weapons.

Did we sanction Taiwan, South Korea, or Japan decades before when they tested and acquired the know-how to build atomic weapons, just in case a nuclear power like Communist China might threaten?

The saber rattles and rattles your attention away from the hypocrisies and big business oil and big business military players behind the facades of President Bush, President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.

The war market is in a crisis. The infernal shop of conflict is closing for the moment in Iraq and in Afghanistan soon. There is ever less reason out there for US taxpayers to bankroll this capitalist welfare program that fields a Cold War sized Imperial US armed force after strategic threats requiring such a behemoth had vanished with the Cold War over 20 years ago. Global economic pressures also push America to downsize its stupendous military might. It is ten times more powerful than any armed force that could vaguely threaten. Now that Saddam is gone, the big boots of a Soviet sized bogeyman look even more ridiculous if you try to shove them on little, rat faced Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s feet.

A resumption of a global cold war with the Soviet replacement, the Russian Federation, is unlikely for now, so big war businessmen must seek a regional cold war business model. Iran is perfect for this. The military industrialists would prefer containing Iran for decades rather than a short sharp and messy conflict. The Cold War between the US and Soviet Union cost relatively few American lives, compared to the First and Second World Wars but made contractors in the Military Industrial Complex insanely rich off taxpayer’s dollars just preparing for, but not actually waging, doomsday. The same set up is happening in the Persian Gulf Cold War starting in 2012. Huge defense spending contracts and orders are already going through, soon to rebuild and reboot the air forces and missile defense systems of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States with the most modern and most pricey US weaponry on the market.

The more moderate puppet masters competing to pull the strings of the current US president and Israeli Prime Minister would seek to postpone a major war with Iran. Building and sustaining military deterrents is much more war profitable. At least postpone until the middle of the decade at the earliest because fantastic profits are theirs for the taking in a ramp up of Saudi and Gulf State rearmament for the next four years.

There is at the moment a more impatient set of polemical puppet masters of the Neo-Con-cum-Zionist faction of the military industrial complex that want to give Iran what I would call the “Japanese Ultimatum” – the no choice but war option. They know they cannot stop Iran from exploring nuclear weapons unless they can somehow push Teheran out of its passive aggressive foreign policy game into some precipitous action. All the last attempts during the Bush administration since 2005 through 2008 to create a military incident in the Strait of Hormuz in which most of the oil shipped by sea to the world passes failed because the Iranians did not take the provocative bait. They have not taken the bait in a clandestine war the US started waging inside Iran since 2005. Terrorists the US supports are available for weapons and bomb training in a number of non-Persian ethnic populations in Iran. The CIA and Israeli Mossad secret services have trained these to blow up hundreds of people in bombed planes, squares and mosques across Iran since 2005.

Your corporate Western media does not want you to know that.

A funeral procession in Teheran carrying the coffin of the recently assassinated Iranian scientist. An assasin on a motorbike drove up to his car, applied a magnetic mine, then drove off allowing a radio signal to detonate the bomb. Is that not also an act of terrorism? Why is one man's terror another man's righteous kill?

The serial assassination of nearly a half dozen nuclear physicists and scientists of late is just an escalation of this secret war of terrorism waged against Iranians by Israeli and CIA operatives.

Oh! I’m sorry. These roadside bombers aren’t terrorists. If the good guys blow women and children up with car bombs in crowded streets of Iran, they are “freedom fighters.”

Now, to be fair, Iran’s government is getting its own back. They wage clandestine war against Israel ever since this secret war started, using the proxies of Hezbollah and have sent military trainers by the hundreds to teach Hezbollah terrorists how to launch imported Iranian rockets falling on innocent Israeli civilians. A large part of the 5,000 US and Coalition soldiers killed in Iraq and to some extent Afghanistan were fatally maimed by an ever more deadly evolution of Iranian manufactured roadside bombs.

The Iranian-US-Israeli regional Cold War has been on since 2005, yet in 2012, it could go potentially hot, like the global cold war between the US and the Soviet Union almost did during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Especially now that the Neo-Cons are doing everything they can through the media and through political pressure in the US to push upon Obama the “Japanese Ultimatum” against Iran.

In late 2011, the US Senate voted unanimously to enact a regimen of sanctions handed to President Obama that would cripple Iran’s one economic lifeline, its oil exports. Obama would prefer to push the Iranians in increments, but forces pulling the strings and holding the financial purses of Democratic and Republican puppets in the Senate have pressed for an escalation that will, if successful, end all political support for a negotiated solution in Iran.

General Hideki Tojo became Japan's Prime Minister in 1941 when US ultimatums and a US embargo of steel and petroleum exports silenced doves and diplomats in the Japanese cabinet. Tojo sanctioned the surprise attack on the US Pacific Fleet at Peal Harbor.

It is kind of a reverse image of what happened to Imperial Japan just before they went to war with the US in 1941. The expansion, indeed the survival, of the Japanese Empire depended on foreign exports of steel and oil to fuel and arm its military. Most of these exports came from America. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt put an embargo on all oil and steel exports to Japan, he forced the diplomats out of power in Tokyo. War hawk officers filled the void in the Japanese Cabinet of Emperor Hirohito. Negotiations had turned to ultimatums from America to get out of Indo-China and China. In less than a year, Japan’s military machine would cease to work. No country with a war machine and Imperial intentions, be they Japan in the 1940s or Neo-Conned America in the 21st century, will let their forces run out of steel and fuel. War was the only option Japan had. They attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941 to destroy the US Pacific Fleet so their own fleet and army could conquer the oil fields of Indonesia without US threat.

History past becomes history future, relatively easy to forecast, because people keep conditioning their new generations to repeat the same stupid mistakes. All the elements of the Japan Ultimatum are in this Iran Ultimatum passed by the US Senate. Oil is again the catalyst for war, only this time it is not oil denied to Iran’s domestic industries and military forces. Iranian oil exports will be severely restrained “from” Iran.

Rather than aid a negotiated settlement, like with Japan, the cynical intention of these sanctions is to flush out any remaining doves from the Iranian government, which has already become more militarized and dominated by its own General Hideki Tojos, the officers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. If you want to force the hand of war, push sanctions that are impossible to economically survive. Threaten a nation’s economic existence.

There is another objective, more cynical and dreadful happening here and Iran is only the bait, not the target. The target is a slow but fragile recovery of the US economy during a presidential election year. There are well-financially-healed oligarchic forces in the world influencing American politics that could easily absorb a temporary financial hit in 2012 if it takes down the Obama administration and what is left of the toe hold the Democrats have in the US Senate.

The creeping coup of a corporate aristocracy had already conquered the US Supreme Court in 2010 and received their “equal citizen status” allowing an empowered plutocracy to flood money and influence to decide the US elections according to what their money can buy and what you human citizens of America cannot lobby and possibly match fund.

The real reason why a push for war with Iran goes on whilst the real danger of nuclear terrorist proliferation remains unaddressed in Pakistan, is to create a false flag crisis in the Persian Gulf that disrupts oil flow out of the Strait of Hormuz. Pakistan needs to go radical so the same Neo-Cons who looked the other way to let 9-11 terror attacks on America happen, can yet again resurrect a jihadist bogeyman that will require decades of deterrent military spending.

But I get ahead of myself. First, false flag a conflict with Iran in 2012. The Strait of Hormuz is closed to oil traffic. The skyrocketing oil prices will then temporarily push the US economy back into a recession. The economic downturn will be blamed on President Obama. A little war of gunboats in the Strait of Hormuz might just tip the economy back into 10 percent unemployment and convince enough voters that Obama and the Democrats controlling the Senate need to be flushed out with their votes in November 2012. A far more big business friendly Republican president and Congress in Washington would lead to a speedier dismantling of the US democracy in the name of smaller government.

Nevertheless, I believe this attempt by corporate forces will not be successful. The president will use his discretion in 2012 to attempt measured application of the Iranian sanctions. There may be a military incident in the Strait of Hormuz no later than June through August 2012. Even if there was a brief naval skirmish in 2012, it is only preliminary to the ultimate military showdown Nostradamus’ astrology seems to frame for the years 2015 and 2016.

Babies are easily distracted. The saber’s rattle of corporate interests might backfire when a baby’s attention catches upon something else that is bright and shiny, like a diplomatic breakthrough that only the threat of war might propel in the 11th hour concession from Teheran. Iran may take the enemy away from the military industrial complex pushers and surrender their nuclear weapon aspirations in 2012; or, at least achieve gaining some time in that tried and true Iranian tradition of diplomatic stalling.

Iran is a country that knows how to buy time. It has lasted for 3,000 years. However, if real diplomatic breakthroughs are not forthcoming in 2012, Iran is only buying time up to 2015 or 2016 when a terrible war showdown will come out of its skies and melt its fleets of motorboats in the Persian Gulf. Another fleet might be melted and sunk as well. Nostradamus leaves that potential open.

This is a still from a video taken by a US naval war vessel last week stationed in the Strait of Hormuz of an Iranian gunboat. The Iranians taunt US warships by speeding very close, causing US crews to put fingers on gun triggers. No shots as of yet have been fired.

A conflict between Iranians and Western forces was certainly foretold in one of Nostradamus’ prophecies where he named the Strait of Hormuz outright by the name it held during the 16th century. We will examine the prophecy in my next article.

In the meantime, I direct you to get a copy of my newest e-Book Predictions for 2012. Read Chapter 3: Hot Crises in a Cold Depression. What I have presented above is just a taste of the full report accounting in detail a potential military crisis with Iran in 2012, when it could happen, who is behind it and how it will be avoided.

Unio Mystica.

Friends,
I must be brief. Thanks for your patience waiting for a new posting at HogueProphecy.com. Since end of November, all my mental, emotional and psychic resources are trained upon one goal, the completion of Predictions for 2012. This will be the largest annual almanac I have yet written. It could be as much as 65,000 words when it is finally completed, hopefully soon. The deadline for donators getting their special edition, electronically autographed, advanced copy will possibly be pushed forward towards the winter solstice. One thing I can assure my readers who have already sent your advance for the book and those readers who will yet send, that this new e-book will be downloaded to you before the worldwide release to the world at large. You should have it as my gift for Christmas at the latest. Click on this link 2012 to learn how you can get your advanced copy.

In the meantime, before I plunge back into the “bliss”-krieg process of bringing the new e-book rapidly into the world, I will post for you today this unique interview I gave online to Scarletwhore.com back around 8 March 2011.

Inserted in the interview are some updates added in August 2011. I want to thank the people at Scarletwhore for inviting me to say something and I invite you all to check out their great site on prophecy and current events.

John Hogue interview by Scarletwhore.com

Scarletwhore Editor’s introduction:

John Hogue does not need an introduction, most of you know him as the Nostradamus expert. He’s got a list of T.V. and radio appearances that few in the fringe world of prophecy, predictions, and apocalypse can dream of. He is the author of more than a dozen books, with over 1,500,000 in print in 19 languages. His website should be on the shortlist of top ten alternative information portals on the web.

John Hogue is the quintessential ‘rogue scholar’, he is not dogmatic and set in a narrow paradigm of interpretation… he calls it as he sees it and rarely is he off the mark.

The $12.50 I spent on his Predictions for 2011 is the best download I paid for this year. John Hogue is extremely insightful and sticks to his guns, he’s not afraid to admit when he’s wrong and more to point he understands the ebb and flow of a quasi deterministic future that exist in the realm of free will participants.

Everything is foretold, but we still have free will. John Hogue gets it.

When I read his 2011 predictions I felt like he was putting in words everything I felt intuitively about our world.

After reading Predictions for 2011, I had a thousand questions I wanted to ask him.

We received the following note from John Hogue: “Most of my answers to your questions are dated from no later than 8 March of 2011. I have inserted updates in red, composed nearly five months afterwards, on 6 August 2011.”

Here we go:

John, we might be thousands of miles apart but we are all the same rock and what happens in one part of this planet is going to affect us all. Has the natural balance been lost? Will the Earth deliver a wake-up call to humanity this year?

Conditioning plays a subtle and mostly unnoticed influence on how we interpret or anticipate the future. We are programmed to expect the future to apocalyptically explode upon us like a Roland Emmerish movie. We look for Hollywood effects of his movie 2012 sliding California into the ocean. We look for climate change to superstorm in overnight like in his Day after Tomorrow. The fact we overlook for decades now is that the balance of nature is already lost and we are already listing from a tipping point in climate change that is too gradual for our Holly-wooden headed mindsets to pick up.

Poster for the Roland Emmerish block buster "2012."

We seek apocalyptic times grilled up hot and fast with an order of globally warmed fries — fast food style in less than a American-impatient minute. Nevertheless, global warming and climate change is coming at us a little slower, like an afternoon-long seven course French lunch that is equally going to be French-fried.

History is quickening but not yet at a pace of wake-up calls most people want to recognize.

In my almanac of prophecies  (see 2011 predictions), I said this would be the year when the mainstream starts hearing the first clangs of alarm bells of the unsustainable. I pinpointed two wake-up calls: food sustainability and a redoubling of violent weather, seismic events and other natural disasters that are made unnaturally destructive by humanity’s wholesale abuse of the planet and its climate. Another bell ringing alarm though less noticed by people is the birth of the 7 billionth child set for 2011. Also it would seem that my oft documented warning of a second global economic crisis in the first half of 2011 is on track for fulfillment, and the source will be a rise in oil prices beyond $100 a barrel that continue to climb.

It is important to note here that though Arab revolutions play a powerful factor in the oil price rise, the real cause is something far more systemic to our habit of growing demands that cannot be sustained by how we have worked things in the past. Oil and food prices are going up because emergent middle classes around the world are demanding food and energy the global supersystems of oil, energy production and agriculture cannot sustain.

So, more shocks, more wake up calls are coming and will redouble this year of 2011, and again in 2012, and 2013, 2014, and so on until we reach the decade wherein waits the greatest threat to civilization, the decade I have been writing about for over 20 years and counting that I call “The Roaring 2020s.”

If the wake-up calls are not being heeded now, they will be in 2020, at a time when it will be far more difficult to turn destiny around without much of the world plunging into a new wave of Fascism.

Today’s conditioned reflex to anticipate fast food, Roland Emmerich-like, Teutonically Wagnerian, Hollywood style wake up calls will lead to emergency rule in the 2020s that looks a whole lot like Germanic Fascism of the 1930s and 1940s.

I do not want that future. That is why I am scaring the be-jeesus out of readers now. Pull your head off the big mac, boys and girls. The tipping point is lurching since 1998. Wake up now, while you can still enjoy the freedom to wake up at all.

The great Jewish Philosopher Rambam said in effect that Everything is foretold, but we still have free will. How do wrap our heads around this concept? Is it all predestined as written in the Book of Revelation or the writings of Nostradamus?

Let me first answer with a metaphor upon which we all can meditate:

There are many destinies for sale in the wholesale store of Time.

All the potential futures are lining the shelves of Cosmic “Costco”. Coming through the sliding doors from the present is a purchaser of a future. An individual “buys” a future by his or her actions. He or she possess it, identifies with it, thus it changes a person’s life. We become what destiny we consume. The potential future procured either gives the customer positive or negative future stimuli.

A million Cosmic Costco purchasers collectively buying and moving “units” of destiny is a mass of actions causing future reactions and by consequence, creating trends. These trends are our future history.

Thanks to Scarletwhore, I can introduce you to the noted Jewish mystic, Rabbi Rambam (thank you, mam).

Rambam is on the right track. Though, from my experiences of glimpsing this state of awareness, I would propose that all things are happening at once, forever. How we track them says more about the level of our awareness and the limits of the particular corner of the “multi-verse” in which we live embodied or dis-embodied.

Everything has happened. Everything will happen. Everything is happening. All at once in a million years that pass with the snap of one’s fingers. Not all the “products” of potential futures are taken down from the shelves of Akashic Costco, as it were. So, not all the futures for sale happen, even though they exist. That is why sometimes the sensitive among us can see an alternative future we have not yet or never will “purchase.”

Nostradamus has a different way of saying the same thing Rambam may be implying. What I gather about Nostradamus’ take is his tortured and dyslexic attempt to describe what a prophet can sometimes tap into by the grace of the divine: a continuum of events that are on the periphery of witnessing consciousness. The prophet momentarily glimpses this and if he or she is a skillful and unattached medium, he or she can describe for us the potential inclinations of our future trends days, weeks or hundreds of years hence.

The future is not “this” divine witnessing. Nor is the past. Yet, the present is the doorway through which a remembrance of and union with this witness can be understood.

You use this term ‘Super System’. You say ‘All of these supersystems are super-overstressed.’ Are we at the breaking point of these super-systems? And what are the signs when they begin to collapse?

In the year 2011, we begin hearing the ringing alarms of large artificial and natural systems that sustain a global civilization and an ecological balance of nature. For instance, the natural world has the supersystem of ocean currents, jet streams, monsoons, the supersystem of rainforests that refresh the atmosphere and so on. These sustain the climate and weather balance of nature. Starting in 1998 and accelerated further since 2008, the natural climacteric supersystems have begun to go awry in a way that at last has become noticeable even to the mainstream mass semi-conscious minded humanity. They may be generally still in denial to the cause of climate disruption but as we experienced wilder weather every year, especially a quickening of such last year in 2010, most people on earth will agree there is global weirding of the weather even if a majority do not believe in global warming as the cause.

Los Angeles hit by freak super cell tornadoes in Roland Emmerish's movie "The Day After Tomorrow".

The year 2011 will be remembered as the time humanity’s artificial supersystems began showing the first signs of their potential collapse later on in the 2020s.

I described artificial, human manufactured supersystems in Predictions for 2011 in the following way: “Supersystems are those interconnected mechanisms of a modern global civilization keeping it functioning, such as the global transport system, the worldwide web feeding us information, keeping us connected. The agricultural system sustains nourishment for our exploding population. We have supersystems entrusted with budgetary responsibility to run public services. We have a banking supersystem that invests. The world currently is powered by a fossil fuel supersystem that fuels ALL economies.”

In my forecasts for 2011 written in October through early December of last year, I forecast the first alarm bell of an approaching failure of supersystems would begin ringing this year, such as in the supersystem of food production. This is now happening as foreseen because the natural supersystem of the climate is coming unhinged and redoubling the weather and earthquake violence of 2010 in 2011.

Russian grain exports halted because of droughts and fires in 2010, grain belts of Australia submerged in catastrophic floods from a more potent monsoon laced with enhanced cyclonic storms (hurricanes). China’s wheat exports are way down because of wheat crop failures from central continental droughts besetting all continents, another sign of a climate supersystem beginning to collapse. These have lead to skyrocketing food prices. Food prices triggered revolutions in early 2011 across North Africa and the Middle East. Food has often been the match of revolutions in the past, and I predict that more will spread beyond the Middle East and North Africa because of this first “tilt” warning, flashing in the supersystem of food sustainability.

The next alarm bell is the birth of the 7 billionth child in 2011. You see the signs of his supersystem collapse in the rise of commodity prices as we now begin to add another American-sized middle class population to the planet every five years. Three hundred million new consumers begin demanding that our overstressed supersystems of food, oil, construction materials and other commodity supersystems supply its exploding demand.

It is not possible. Not the way we think and unconsciously live today. A more enlightened society could sustain a healthy, spacious planet with 50 billion people living well off upon it. Our childish civilization cannot do that. Little children left to their own devices cannot clothe, shelter and feed themselves. We live in that society.

The signs of the beginning of the collapse of childhood’s civilized end are the rising prices in everything. They rise because too many children are selfishly grasping for the resources. Their demand is too large to sustain. Thus you will have a lot of cranky babies out there, revolutions and civil disruptions. The process will be terrible and painful. It will take decades before a newer more mature civilization could emerge out of the chaos of the 2020s. Perhaps it arrives by the 2050s.

It could arrive right now, if people heed these warnings and change destiny’s course.

What is the tie that binds? Is it God, the Universe, the universal consciousness? What is the source? And how do we tap into it? Or maybe we are already tapped in… but we went in search of many schemes.

I would say it is more the “or”, the last part of your question.

Many years ago I wrote a poem that perhaps answers the last part of your question best, at least from my own experience of this question:

Do you remember the game we played long ago,
The game of Gods-Awake who chose to sleep,
We chose to play the Game of Forgetting
—and forgot—
That we were gods playing a game?

Dear enlightened one, play-acting enlightened-once,
There still is a trace of the awaken-time left
In the dark and secret corners of your being.
Do you feel it stirring against the burial mound of mind-knowledge
Suppressing your conscious flight?

It is the Ever-“Yes” awakening in thee.
It is calling you back with pure and voiceless silence,
To remember godliness again.
Sing now a song of yearning for the New Humanity
So that it echoes sweet fulfillment back from the halls of the future.

© John Hogue 1987

What are a few things that you predicted that came true?

For starters, I seem to have the ability to pick the victor by popular vote of every presidential election since 1968. That is an 11 and 0 record so far.

Next to that, I have a good track record for predicting the weather for each new year. For instance in Predictions for 2009 I said the Gulf States region would have a quiet Hurricane season except for a modest tropical storm hitting Florida and the Carolinas. These turned out to be the only paces having tropical storm events that year. In Predictions for 2010 I said the US Gulf States would once again enjoy a very quiet Hurricane season at a time when most weather forecasters were predicting a very violent hurricane season spreading the Deep Horizon oil spill. Though there were many hurricanes that season, they boiled and roiled off in the Atlantic Ocean. No hurricanes hit the northern waters of the Gulf or visited the Gulf States except a rainmaker hitting the southern tip of Texas but mostly going into Mexico. Cannot predict a quiet season for 2011, unfortunately.

I documented one of my more notable hurricane predictions in the book 1000 for 2000 Startling Predictions (1998). I later repeated that prediction on Fox News for the Hannity and Colmes show on 31 December 1999. I reiterated that either New Orleans or Miami would be devastated in the first five hurricane seasons of the new century by a super-hurricane. As we know, Hurricane Season number five saw New Orleans devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

I presaged in 2008 that an African American would become Chairman of the Republican Party in 2009. Then came African American Michael Steel to the post.

At the end of 2007, I predicted the Great Recession for later on in 2008. I also said this on the record on Coast to Coast AM in January of 2008. I also said Obama would be a two term president on that show in early 2009. Got a lot of angry mail for that. A lot of anti-Obama people thought I was nuts. Well…look at the current Republican bullpen of potential candidates for 2012. So far, it does not look too promising that there will be an upset. But we will see.

 [Hogue update, 06 August 2011. A few months ago I predicted Governor Rick Perry would enter the race making the 2012 campaign far more interesting. At the time of this update, he is about to enter the fray. I still content that Barack Obama will have a second term in office though efforts by certain corporate forces are openly contriving to collapse the economy into a Second Recession, which I dated in Predictions for 2011 coming no later than mid-year. Well, here we are, it seems. Forces are out there. The same forces which in Predictions for 2011 I called “Politicorp” – a new corporate aristocracy/plutocracy – are unleashing since 2012 a creeping coup d’état on the American democracy, often in the name of constitutional reform. But that noble idea is not their intent. Nor is it the scaling down of government spending. Their intent is to hobble the constitution and the democratic government of America, push back protections on food, water and environment by 50 years, to make unlimited and unrestrained profits. They will try to pin this next recession on Obama. If the president can be perceived in the presidential campaign of 2012 to be the only “adult” in the running – not to say that this is true, mind you – this perception at least will see him win in a very close and disputed election. He may face a divided Congress, divided between the Tea Party and Republican Parties, with Democrats a distant third in both houses. The man who “could” beat Obama will not run in 2012 because he has the wrong name, Jeb “Bush”, the former governor of Florida. Now we return to what I wrote back in February-March 2011:]

For me some of the more unsettling fulfilled predictions revolve around things that just drop into my awareness out of the blue and go against my own mind, such as predicting the rise of lone wolf terrorists in 2009, followed by lone wolf domestic terrorist attacks in 2010. Getting the unemployment numbers right for the Great Recession was chilling to me. One of the most inexplicable and detailed prophetic hits happened in 2009. That was months before the strategy meetings happened between Obama and the Pentagon over Afghanistan. The oracle grasped exactly what transpired in the future; namely, that Obama would give the Pentagon a troop surge of 40,000 soldiers (10,000 of which were NATO allies) but hold them to an 18-month deadline to turn the tide or he would begin combat troop withdrawals by the summer of 2011.

How serious is the potential collapse of Bee populations?

The Bee Plague was a bee’s version of the pandemic of the Black Death of the high Middle Ages. In the bees’ case it was caused by crowding of industrial hives to produce more honey. Right now the Bee plague is going dormant, but like the bubonic plague on humans, it will return and subside return and subside. After the Black Death in the 1300s more localized and regional Black Death appeared and retreated throughout Europe and the rest of the world up to the 1700s. One might hope that the bee plague will do no worse, but I would add that the honeybee has become the new canary in the mind shaft, as it were of climate stress on animals and humans. The times of great pandemics are coming again. If not in this decade (watch for 2013-2014 as one important window) then definitely in the 2020s and 2030s.

What do you think we could be blind sided with this year? Beyond a Korean War, Attack on Iran or dollar crash.

Three-Gorges Dam in recent Yangtze floods.

A North Korean collapse is more likely rather than a war. No attack on Iran, even though so many people expect it. The economic crisis stemming form oil prices shooting up beyond $100 was what I said back in 2009 for predictions for 2010, would be the trigger of the next economic crisis. The window for danger opened in October 2010. I said in 2010 that March and April of 2011 would be the most dangerous months of this. Now we have oil rising over $100 and perhaps set to match its all time high of $148 or more because of food and fuel price upheavals and panics in the market around March and April. But the danger is not over if we pass into May through July, because the impact of grain lost to the global markets by Russia’s lingering lack of exports, Australia’s grain mostly good only for livestock because of cyclones. There is also America’s winter wheat crop suffering a lower yield than promised in exports because of a series of violent blizzards early in the year. These will rapidly, as predicted, shift suddenly into violent tornado infested storms of spring across the grain belts of America. Also, there is the 2011 hurricane season which will be at least if not more devastatingly violent than the 2005 season best known for Hurricane Katrina. Oil price climbs may also be threatened if Houston refineries are in the storm line of a great hurricane this year.

 [Hogue update, 06 August 2011. The peak rise of oil eventually reached the $120s level and even though it stabilized, many accurate market forecasters of Recessions, such as Bert Dohman, President of the Dohman Capital Research Institute, point to the beginning of the Second Recession in May. July ended with worldwide alarm at US leadership with the travesty of their debt ceiling debate. August began with the worst Dow Jones Industrial drop of points since the 2008 recession. S&P just lowered US credit rates by a star and may lower it further. At the time of this writing, Monday (8 August 2011) approaches. Stock markets will continue their recessionary fall for the oncoming week. Some of the worst sectors hit have been in the food and agriculture industries thanks to crop failures from the spring and summer floods. Blizzards did shift quickly to lingering triple-digit heat waves throughout the spring and summer causing widespread livestock and crop die offs in Texas and the central plain states. When I wrote the above, the tornado season was unusually quiet. It later exploded in April, May and June with historic devastation in St. Louis International Airport, super cell tornado outbreaks across the US south, flattening cities and towns of Alabama in particular. Even Massachusetts was hard hit by tornadoes, then Joplin Missouri – flattened. So far, the Gulf of Mexico regions and the Atlantic seaboard states have been spared a repeat of the Katrina-2005 hurricane season. The most active part of the season is ahead of us. Hopefully I will be wrong about it being violent storms for Houston and the Gulf, but Haiti is in the hurricane season’s cross-hairs, sorry to say. Now back to what I wrote in early March:]

Prophecy likes to date events but free will does speed up or delay events. It is possible that these surprises can be delayed into 2012 or 2013 but at this time of writing (8 March 2011), the trends appear to be on course.

There are also pleasant surprises that might blind-side us this year or next. I spent a whole chapter in Predictions for 2011 on a five year process Israel’s leadership might take that could see Iran isolated and the Palestinian State established. That future IS available for Israel if its leadership uses the rise of democratic desires across the Arab world to make peace with its Arab neighbors and thereby leave Iran as the sole remaining threat to the Arab world. An Israeli-Iranian war may happen as a result with the US allied in the fighting with Israel, but there is time for moderate voices in Iran to prevail. I foresee the war danger not coming until the present times enter the year 2015 and 2016.

There are many more details about the economy, the future of the US military presence in the Middle East, where it is shifting next, the oncoming “Cold Depression” which is like a Cold War in economic terms, etc., that people can read more about by clicking on predictions.

END

It took no Nostradamus to predict this outcome. The committee gathered together after the tragically laughable sand box kiddie clash in US Congress back in July over raising the US debt ceiling, letting the Romper Room standoff go all the way to the drop dead timeline of 1 August before the US defaulted on its debt payments. It sent worldwide confidence in American leadership and the stock markets to the worst lows since 2008 and America lost its premier credit borrowing rating. Standard and Poor’s lowered the investment rate of the United States from triple A to double A. The first time in history that has ever happened to the largest economy in the world.

Back in August, S&P’s threatened to lower the US credit rating further in December if the six Democrat and six Republican legislators comprising the super committee created by the Budget Control Act did not come up with a long term financial plan. In effect, a so-called “trigger mechanism” will initialize an automatic $1.2 trillion set of spending cuts deep into entitlement programs, Medicare and especially the Pentagon’s military industrial complex budget over ten years.

Congress with Republicans in the lead is trying to find ways to renege on legally honoring the trigger mechanism. President Obama threatens to veto their attempt. I predict that a poor showing of bad standards in governance deserves a further US credit reduction by Standard and Poor’s before Christmas. Or, as Santa Claus might say, “That’s what happens when you’re naughty rather than nice.”

The annual Thanksgiving turkey-holocaust thankfully shortened the US stock market work week to three days putting a triptafen turkey leg to plug a hole bleeding market drops so that the Dow Jones Industrial’s three-day slide from Monday through Wednesday only hemorrhaged around 500 points. Rumblings out of Berlin that Germany might not pay Italy’s bills after all had a lot to do with this drop – perhaps more than the super committee cop out nearly everyone anticipated. The rumors echoing out of German banks strengthen the opinion that Italy’s large economy, the third largest in the euro monetary union, will not be too big to fail in 2012, but too big to “bail.”

No holiday for Europe last week, but thank goodness the Americans could stuff their faces and slump back into comfy chairs on Thursday in a triptafen flatulent turkey “meating” of sleepiness, watching with heavy lidded eye the NFL and college football games, the Cable TV marathons such as the Military Channel’s “Tanks”-giving. The next day, Black Friday, was the official Christmas holiday shopping season where retailers hope they’ll be “in the black” making profits as the consumers “Santa” their “closets” with sequestered presents for unwrapping under a slaughtered tree on 26 December. Christmas shopping can be a Christmas Tale, a retail-ing of good cheer that can account for 40 percent of all profits made per year.

NATO convoys on happier days when Pakistani customs let them rumble over the border into Afghanistan.

Friday through Saturday, Americans were shopping and by Saturday evening getting tripped out dozy on leftover turkey, pleasantly unaware for the most part that US-Pakistan relations that day had fallen to an all time low after NATO drones blasted a few dozen Pakistani border guards mistaken for Taliban fighters. Islamabad closed the Hindu Kush road, a key lifeline for US and NATO supply convoys rumbling into land-locked Afghanistan. What with Kirgizstan’s new president ready to let the US lease run out on an airbase key to supplying US forces in Afghanistan, I imagine American forces occupying Afghanistan could come home far sooner than 2014, as my oracle predicted. Most of them by the end of 2012, even.

Turkey Rapture! It happens every November in America.

Well, that is all the time I can spare today on writing blogs. I have to get back to Predictions for 2012. I am on a writing blitzkrieg since 16 November when principle writing unleashed an avalanche of words pouring into my Mac mini an average of 3,500 to 4,500 words a day! It appears like I am giving labor to what will pop out as a very large boned literary baby. The bad news is, I’m not sure it will be finished and ready to send it as early as I wanted to in December, initially to all those who have advanced its cost of $12.50 or more as a donation to HogueProphecy. All of you who have and continue to generously donate the cost of an advance copy will get your book well in advance of the worldwide publication date of the e-book.

The good news is my prophecies for 2012 are going to be the richest of all my annual almanac entries in content and the number predictions, so a think the little longer wait will be more than worth it.

My oracle has A LOT to share about the events of 2012. Some amazing stuff has come like lightning through these fluttering fingers over the keypad. I am averaging bringing into the world in first draft a chapter a day. Because 2012 is so significant in Mayan astronomical and astrological reckoning the subplot of it will be rich in the astrological examinations so many of my readers enjoy. Not only are there forecasts using Western Astrological traditions but Chinese too as we “enter the Dragon”, Bruce Lee style so to speak with yesterday’s chapter entry, The Year of the Water Dragon blowing Economic Bubbles. The day before that I brought into the world the oracle’s redefinition of a new clash of civilizations forthcoming on the global economic front called Dominion versus Democracy.

I don’t eat turkey or make a big deal about Thanksgiving Day 2011, because this November holiday reminds me more about 9 November’s Kristallnacht than a date to celebrate being thankful, because it marks an important milestone in the Native American Holocaust as those of you who have read my controversial articles already know (click on Thanksgiving Day).

No Turkey, not even Tofurkey for me. I was writing on that holiday. I think I finished the oracle’s report on the US presidential elections in 2012, entitled: Primates in Primaries for President. The chapters are coming through my fingers out of sequence. My memory of what came through and when is now a blur that only my next edit run-through, which must begin as soon as I post this, begins with a ruthlessly compassionate editorial cut and pasting – sometimes plastering – what is written into shape.

Therefore, that is it for fresh words for today’s weekly blog until my forecasts for 2012 are entered, edited and completed, hopefully soon. What follows is the publication of an interview I did with the Raw Epicurean back in March 2011. Prophecy is like turkey-time leftovers. If they are cooked well they get better with age. So, with this being posted at the end of another Thanksgiving 2011 holiday weekend, let America’s biggest holiday celebration of gluttony and heartburn, launch a further look into frankenfoods and the future of food.

 (Raw Epicurean interview, 16 March 2011, Part 2)

"Beam me up, Scotty! Let's Mooooo--ve my meat into that Golden Future!"

INGRID (Weithers-Barati): Worldwide there’s great concern over genetically engineered crops [corn, soybean, sugar beet, cotton, and most recently alfalfa, to name a few], and its effect on our food supply. What is the point? Is this all about profits? Politics? Control?

HOGUE
What indeed is the point?

Understanding the human mind that asks such questions.

Understanding first how this human mind imposed on us is conditioned to see things in a narrow pigeonhole of self-interest. For instance, the question asked. It is colored and supported by a certain narrow interest in food purity. That sentiment is noble, but it stands on the idea that food seems only now to be dramatically re-engineered away from its purity by technology.

Is that indeed the case?

If it was not for ancient Dr. Frankensteins who genetically altered wild corn -- Teosinte ( left) -- into the big-kerneled pop-corn bangin' modern kind, we could not have sustained our modern civilization this far.

Genetic engineering of food is at least 5,000 years old — as old as human agriculture itself. If you are truly a food purist, stop eating any form of corn because this fundamental foodstuff of the world is one of the earliest Frankenfoods. Millennia ago, corn was similar to a grass stalk. People began mutating it through low-tech genetic engineering until it became its giant, monstrously kernel rich form we take for granted as “pure” food today.

What big agricultural business is doing to explore and alter food genetically is nothing new. Most of our pure foods like wheat and rice are mutant food. Pure “bread” is “bred” mutations over centuries, thank goodness! Otherwise, a true purist would have to run naked in the wilds and return to the gathering of sparsely nourishing grains of the wilds like Neolithic peoples.

You say in the first half of your question: Worldwide there’s great concern over genetically engineered crops [corn, soybean, sugar beet, cotton, and most recently alfalfa, to name a few]…

I suggest that is a wrong concern. It is a weed of a concern ignoring the weed’s root problem. If you tear up the weeds without exposing and pulling out the root problem, you only make more weeds.

The root concern underneath all motivations of ancient to modern genetic engineering is how to feed an ever-growing population. The Green Revolution is taking a radical turn to more daring genetic engineering in our times not solely to make money for agri-businessmen, but to sustain supply to a catastrophically growing demand.

One can and should be concerned about the new and radically risky ways agri-business scientists are altering our food because some of these could result in apocalyptic consequences — global famines foreseen by many prophets down through history that have a contemporary sheen (as we will see below). However, be aware that the genetically engineered “medicine”, though it is dangerous, is not the “sickness”. The sickness is human unconsciousness that goes on demanding like a mindless bark beetle more than the agriculture can sustain, while we “un-think”, like rats that humans can go on breeding more and more people the human range cannot sustain.

One can forgive the bark beetle or the rat for just being an animal, following its instinct to eat and breed as much as it can, because the job of balancing its numbers is beyond its pea-sized mind’s understanding. Nature comes and culls the rats with disease and famine to restore balance to its numbers.

I can forgive the animal, but I cannot forgive the human being, blessed with potential sentience, blessed with a huge brain that can “see” and “think” and reason beyond instinct what needs to be done to restore balance to the world.

Forgive me for repeating my rat-to-human analogy. Compassion compels me to, because most of you who are reading this are not absorbing this reality beyond an intellectual titillation. Most of you will read this and think about it, because it entertains you to do so. Then you will blink and go back to consuming, breeding and feasting like rats. In the next 20 years, many of you reading this today will starve and be extinguished like mindless rats when you could have lived like men and women of consciousness. You could have rediscovered the blessing of consciousness potential, found a way to lower your population and sustain food production until the population explosion begins to naturally flame out after the mid-21st century.

I have to lay out this painful potential of a ratty future before every person reading this. Not to be proven right, mind you, but to galvanize urgency in each of you to change that destiny from happening to you and your children.

Every human being’s core concern should be this:

Do I go on living like a rat and dying like a rat? Or, do I discover and access the intelligent resource of this wonderful brain to live and flourish like a human being who thinks, reasons, is aware of the balances of nature, and thus not live as just an instinctive pawn of nature?

Back to your question. Let us focus on its ending this time as we read through it: Worldwide there’s great concern over genetically engineered crops [corn, soybean, sugar beet, cotton, and most recently alfalfa, to name a few], and [genetic engineering's] effect on our food supply. What is the point? Is this all about profits? Politics? Control?

Allow me to help you consider a new angle on the PPPC’s: the point, the profits, the politics and the control of food sustainability.

Let's get "rat" to the point.

The point is keeping food production up with the demand. The rise of more affluent middle classes across the world is adding another United States-sized 300-million, high energy and high calorie consumers for the planet’s burdened agribusiness to satisfy

The point is far more than mere corporate greed for more riches. Economic survival motivates dangerous genetic engineering of food products. For instance, what would happen if the demands for higher caloric sustenance of emergent middle classes, added to the many more new mouths of the poor to feed continues to produce a shortfall of supply?

Supply is not being met now. That is why food prices are climbing to their highest levels in human history and are expected to jump even higher in the next six to eight months. Thus it is that we put more pressure on agri-businesses to genetically engineer some “wonder-food” producing grains and vegetables increasing volumes of supply, lowering prices.

If prices do not lower, this hyperinflation of the global food market will see it collapse. The agri-business could go out of business with catastrophic consequences to civilization; in other words, no more profits, a collapse of political order and control of the streets.

So, it is about profits — bringing the price of food down by increasing yields because though agri-businesses may be making some of the highest profits in their history in 2011, these prices are destroying their market’s ability to pay for the product. Keeping prices high is like shooting a hole through your lifeboat stacked with money in a storm.

It is about politics — if the agri-business cannot find a way to meet demand and prices climb to a point where civil society cannot afford to eat, you get revolutions, like those erupting in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain and Yemen. You get a bloodbath of civil war in Libya, which can no longer pay for food shipments until the fighting is over. If the fighting goes on for months, it feeds a higher price. A higher price feeds famine. Famine feeds more civil wars and so on it goes unto agri-business bankruptcy!

It is about control — or better, law and order. Without affordable food coming from a bountiful increased supply, there will be revolutions and upheavals. However, do not take that to mean I am in support of those control freaks that dictate from the palaces of Arab nations, or those agri-business corporate dictators that try to control growing by exporting one-yield-only seeds. Dictators of a political or an agricultural cloth are an impediment to human food sustainability. However, the democratic movements in the Middle East and North Africa are going to find a world after their dictators have fallen that still cannot feed and sustain itself, as the system exists now.

What would you have the agri-businesses do to increase yields? Growing a community Recession Garden may help you, but backyard farm plots in developed nations will not supply the world’s growing food demands. Indeed, if you grow your own, that is good for your food budget but taking your mouths out of the economy will only raise food prices higher elsewhere where backyard gardens are not a sustainable solution. Your garden will sustain you but I predict upheaval and hunger in the Middle East will see your gas prices in America jump to $5 a gallon by autumn 2011 and $7 a gallon by the Winter solstice of 2012.*

I am not saying you should not grow your own food. This is necessary. It is one of the steps in the solution. Keep moving to the other steps. The world needs a globally supported food price standard set that can equally sustain agricultural industries and political stability. You must lobby your leaders for a Global Food Summit while you sew crops in your community gardens too.

*UPDATE from today: I am happy to see this prediction’s timing is wrong. Global oil is entertaining a jump above the $100 a barrel mark last week. Gas pricing is still high in America, approaching $4 a gallon, but I am off a buck for autumn 2012. May my predictions about gasoline prices remain too high. Still, expect $5 gas at the pumps in 2012. The $7 a gallon “petrol-geddon” price may come after 2012, or not at all, I hope.

US Neo-Cons cackle and Israeli sabers rattle to the Netanyahu government drum beat for an imminent attack on Iran. The papers, like the Daily Telegraph in the UK pontificate bellicose bets on the Netanyahu government blasting of Iranian nuclear facilities before Christmas. Israel is a regional nuclear power quite capable and willing to preempt an end to an enemy’s infant nuclear program. They have done it before. Israel took out Saddam Hussein’s nuclear aspirations in a breathtaking, surprise attack. I wrote the following passage about it for my book Nostradamus: The War with Iran:

***

It was upon a lazy, sun basted late afternoon, a slow day, a Sunday, June 1981, that a skeleton crew of drowsy Iraqi security guards at Saddam Hussein’s Osirak Nuclear Reactor station a few miles north of Baghdad, might feel the first stirring of furnace desert air murmuring reports of distant thunders out of the West. It is not known if any guards or heat lulled crews of SAM missile or Triple-A anti-aircraft batteries dotting Osirak cared to look up and singe their retinas gazing past the late afternoon sun’s glare at its source. Anyway, it was the first year of the Iran-Iraq War. Air attacks came from the east. Radar officers phoned in no report. Somebody forgot to switch on the radars that day. If the Iraqi guards and gunners had turned around and faced the late afternoon glare they might have seen glinting spear points without misty shafts of contrails rise to 7,000 feet and suddenly bear down, quickening upon them, shot forward by jet engines at an attack speed of 600 knots.

It was at that moment that [Israeli Air Force] pilots began their attack run and beheld the stout, circular domed mass [of the French built Osirak nuclear reactor]…One F-16 after another swooped down on the undefended bulk… each releasing their two 2,000 pound Mark-84 Time-Delayed bombs at five-second intervals. [Osirak] shuttered and fell in on itself devoured in the mouth of great and thundering fireballs. Ten Iraqi guards and one attending French nuclear scientist shared the immolation. [The] Israeli force climbed unscathed and quickly to 40,000 feet heading west beyond the reach of uncoordinated salvos of Iraqi anti-aircraft fire lashing the empty sky with wildly whipping tracer lines of beaded flame.

Nostradamus: The War with Iran
Chapter Two: A RAYPOZ to Reflect

***

What is missing in the current threat of “imminent” attack by Israel? Something as loudly silent as can be amidst all the US NeoCon-niption fits to holler for war because of a yellow-caked up claim reminiscent of a false flag of threat that hoodwinked an American congress and people to invade Iraq that Iran tried to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador in Washington DC.

What is missing is not only loud with silence. The obvious is as absent as the empty sky widely filmed and Western-press promoted the other week as backdrop to a test firing of an Israeli regional ballistic missile. The hallow of the obvious reverberated with IAF aircraft on training bomb runs for Iran over the Mediterranean. The missing reality is something pushed against the wall and occulted by Netanyahu masquerading as the regional Winston Churchill of his day, trying to forestall the rise of Adolf Ahmadinejad Hitlerian Iran with the din of preemptive strike threats. The ballistic missile and bunker busting bluster is thick and Gafilta-fishy to those who can see what is missing in this most recently promoted picture of imminent war. If you can see what is glaringly missing then you, like me, will know exactly why there will be absolutely no attack on Iran come Christmas or any time soon.

What is missing is surprise.

The day Israel strikes Iran, the world will be caught completely off-guard be it months or several years from now.

It might happen when certain astrological windows for war open, as foreseen by Nostradamus, in 2015 and 2016, when he says, “Saturn and Mars are equally fiery.” In layman’s terms, war would suddenly erupt when the planet of the grim reaper of bad karma and the planet of war are both in fire signs, or better, in the same fire sign.

Century 4 Quatrain 67 reads:

L’an que Saturne & Mars esgaux combust,
L’air fort seiché, longue traiection:
Par feux secrets, d’ardeur grand lieu adust
Peu pluye, vent chault, guerres, incursions.

In the Year Saturn and Mars are equally fiery,
The air is very dry, a long comet:
From hidden fires a great place burns with heat,
Little rain, hot wind, wars and raids.

Nostradamus’ vision of a war against Persia (Iran) might envision a comet-like missile fall out of the dry desert skies. A time when great droughts speed the desertification of the Middle Eastern and Central Asian lands. The hidden fires of radiological isotopes for building atomic bombs secreted away in hidden Iranian installations suddenly burn with missile-issued heat lighting up the next great Persian Gulf War and subsequent Iranian terrorist reprisal raids on Israeli and American targets worldwide.

If this quatrain is indeed a vision of the long threatened and long awaited Israeli attack on Iran, there will be no bluster, no threats, no warning. Like the attack on Osirak, it will come with stealth penetrating Iran’s heavily defended airspace with no advanced, chest thumped out warning, like that that bellows from Netanyahu today.

If Nostradamus’ astrology in the future is forecasting the time of a complete surprise attack, it could initially happen around February and March of 2015 when Mars (god of war) is in Aries (the war sign) and Saturn (karmic black as an Ayatollah’s turban) is in the sign of the missile firing archer (Sagittarius). Otherwise, it happens sometime around September through October of 2016 when both planets of war and karmic retribution are in Sagittarius.

What is really going on these days behind all this smoke without a gun of “exposed” Iran plots? Yes, we hear of rumors of war as Christ would say, about a plot foiled to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador in the heart of Washington DC by Iranian-American operatives working with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Teheran. Where is the hard evidence? Is this going to become a lot of “Hebrew said Shia said” about the improvable?”

Give the world a Cuban Missile Crisis moment, Mr. Netanyahu. Adonai up your Adlai Stevenson at the UN and pull out poster sized photos of  Soviet missiles in Cuba. Let unquestionable evidence place Iranian-American cells in cahoots with Teheran run Revolutionary Guard leaders before you bluster bombing Iranian nuclear installations, irradiating millions.

No?

Where there is smoke there is not always “fire”. Rather, there is a smoke screen for the real target of Israeli threats. There is a shield of myth making. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is presuming that he is Winston Churchill threatening to preempt the Iranian Hitler Regime, but I see someone else imitated for a completely different goal.

Netanyahu is playing Kim Jong Il’s game of war bluff.

The North Korean dictator repeatedly threatens to expand his nuclear weapons program. He test fires his scud missiles. He torpedoes South Korean naval corvettes and fires a few hundred artillery shells at South Korean fishing villages. Heck, he even may have enacted underground tests of a crude nuke from time to time, just to scare everyone outside of North Korea into thinking he has at last lost his marbles. Kim Jong’s mental illness may let slip a million man army on a suicidal offensive stampeding into South Korea to resume a war that has been on hold since an uneasy armistice signed by North Korea with the US and United Nations forces protecting South Korea since 1953.

Once Kim has scared the kimchee out of everyone in the Northwestern Pacific region, Kim backs off into silence. The No Dong scud missiles are zipped up and put away in their bunkers. A Pyongyang peace offering ensues. The K.J. Il tantrum is eventually followed by a quiet time out and the offering to negotiate a reduction of his nuclear armaments. This tantrum and talk game sometimes gets concessions like food aid for his starving people, etc., better cognac at $300.00 a bottle for the “Dear” Dr. Evil “Leader”.

This game of mad man bluff really works! Other leaders are learning the Kim Jong mental illness ploy.

Netanyahu is not bombing Iran right now or any time soon. He is targeting his allies with the threat of the unthinkable: a war with Iran. It would collapse the oil market. It would send the world into a depression and piss off one out of six human beings who happen to be Muslim into sending their sons to join a jihad against the West. Thousands of Iranians killed and irradiated from reactor meltdowns stemming from a brazenly aggressive surprise jet and missile barrage of the Israeli Air Force on Iran would be the catalyst.

Unless Netanyahu “hasn’t” actually gone as goofy as Kim Jong Il pretends, his goal with all this apocalyptic war talk is a new regimen of crushing economic sanctions from the world community that will financially hobble Iran from continuing its presumed nuclear weapons program.

Netanyahu knows, as I know and have been predicting for years, that sanctions can eventually work to end nuclear weapons proliferation in Iran. Sanctions might even take down the Iranian regime. Ahmadinejad’s government cannot long politically survive a few more years of economic hardship because of sanctions already in place.

Netanyahu wants to increase the pain. Ahmadinejad actually needs Israel to strike Iran so he can unite his people. The last thing Netanyahu wants is handing Ahmadinejad and Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, a cause rallying their people to a fever pitch of patriotic blindness and thus help them forget their economic woes and growing differences with the Islamic fundamentalist regime.

I predict this war with Iran is not imminent.

What if I am wrong, you ask?

If I were misreading the men and their signs in prophecy, if a war was to happen now or early next year, it would be a political and military disaster for Israel. It would be an economic disaster for the world, especially for the United States, their most powerful ally. A global call for sanctions on Israel might follow and the US might let it happen if unilateral Israeli attacks on Iran sabotaged the global economic recovery.

What profit would Israel gain?

Israel's nuclear option is called the "Samson Option" after the biblical Hebrew leader, Samson. He was blinded and put on show in the Philistine palace. Called upon Yehovah to give him one last blast of strength to push out the pillars and bring the palace down taking the Philistine royalty with him in an act of Kosher Kamikaze. If Israel's existence is truly threatened, it will use its 200 atomic weapons to take down its enemies.

The damage done to the Iranian nuclear aspirations would only delay the program’s progress for two years. If Iran had no aspirations before the attack to actually “make” a bomb – just to know how to make them if necessary – they will definitely seek nuclear war capability the second Israeli warheads bunker bust the first Iranian underground uranium processing factory before this Christmas Eve or early in 2012. Two years later, Iran would have atomic bombs by 2014 — a year before Nostradamus’ first of two astrological time windows for war: in 2015 and 2016.

Between now and 2014, harder economic sanctions will do more to end the threat of Iranian jihadist nuclear aspirations and not Israeli missiles falling out of the skies to set alight “hidden fires” burning with high explosive, then radioactive, then politically suicidal “heat”.

Predictions for 2012

My article postings are only coming once a week because I am currently writing on average 4,500 words a day in a kind of writer’s “blitzkrieg” to get this new almanac of prophecies into the world for release in December. In the chapter entitled “Hot Crises in a Cold Depression”, I will expand on the theme of war with Iran being imminent and explain how though it seems war is almost inevitable I do not think it is likely next year for reasons I will explain in detail in the new book. What is planned for 2012 is a rearranging of US, NATO and Gulf Arab armed forces that will rename the “Persian” Gulf into the “Arabian Gulf” as Nostradamus foresaw it would be called when his foreseen war is presciently scheduled to erupt in 2015-2016.

Friends,
I wrote the above eight months ago at the beginning of the bloody decline and fall of Libyan strongman, Muhammar Gaddafi’s regime. Yesterday (20 October 2011), Libyan NTC (National Transitional Council) fighters rooted Gaddafi out of a drainage pipe after his convoy of 11 trucks tried to make a run for it out of his tribal home city of Sirte, Libya, after his last stand had collapsed.

Libyan "technicals" are trucks suped up with mounted heavy machine guns. The term "techical" came from the Mad Max trucks of Somali militia.

After dawn prayers, Gaddafi with about 100 die-hard followers and black African mercenaries, raced down the coastal road west to Misruata in beat up trucks and SUVs bristling with heavy armament. This rag-tag rout in camouflage and green bandanas must have looked like extras in a post apocalyptic NASCAR drag race in a scene from Mel Gibson’s Mad Max movies.

They didn’t get too far “beyond Thunderdome”, as it were – the bombed out “barter town” of Sirte laid waste and desolate by two weeks of unremitting bombardment and street battles with Libyan NTC rebels. This surreal, true life Mad Max movie met up with “Top Gun” about 1.5 kilometers outside of Sirte. Not in the cross hairs of a real-life ace Tom Cruise in a US Navy fighter-bomber. He was a French Mirage NATO pilot with a US Drone for company. Both plastered Gaddafi’s convoy with missiles. The remains of 11 melted, toffee-twisted auto wrecks and the fritter-mummified bodies of 50 of Gaddafi’s entourage attest to the violence of the French and US hell-fire missile pounding. One of the unidentified bodies might yet be that of Gaddafi’s eldest son and heir apparent, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi.

The eyewitness reports get a bit confused beyond the fact that Gaddafi and up to half of his guards piled out of the trucks just before they sprouted fireballs and headed for a copse of trees and two storm pipes to make their last stand. Rapidly on their heals where NTC fighters disembarking from a motor column of Mad Max-like armed “technical” trucks, no less post-apocalyptic looking than what had been rolling along and now melting on the tarmac that was Gaddafi’s column moments before.

We are told a firefight ensued, lasting several hours with losses heavy on both sides. Gaddafi’s guards began surrendering and it is said the strongman emerged from the drainage pipe asking what the NTC fighters wanted (guess!) before they started roughing him up, ripping handfuls of toupee off his head.

These NTC fighters are the only witnesses of what happened next. Gaddafi’s surviving soldiers were led away from the road to an uncertain future lined up against a wall, I expect. One al-Jazeera video clip displays a black African Gaddafi soldier, bare chested, lashed to a double-A anti-aircraft machine gun welded to a truck bed speeding through Sirte. To where? Only Mad Max knows.

Gaddafi, wounded and blugeoned by Libyan rebels.

The story gets scrambled. Did Gaddafi emerge from the sewer drain unscathed after the firefight? Was he wounded in the shoulder and clipped by a bullet on the left side of his head while he was crouched like a sewer rat in there? Cell phone movies of him bathed in his own gore with blood coming out of his ears and mouth may indicate concussion wounds from the explosion of NATO French missile fire. Perhaps the wielder of the cell phone video was too busy joining his mates kicking the crap out of Gaddafi before a videography of his bloody mask of a face had been recorded. What is clear in the chaotic cell phone movies is that Gaddafi was alive when he was dragged to a truck – then “fell off the truck” – then dragged again to a waiting ambulance ready to rush him under guard of a cavalcade of other road warrior trucks honking their horns in celebration to Misurata for medical treatment. According to Prime Minister Jibril of the provisional Libyan government in the capital of Tripoli, Gaddafi “died” en route from a bullet shot through the head in the crossfire of a firefight with pro-Gaddafi insurgents and NTC technicals.

Gaddafi, dead on the road.

Cell phone video shows the aftermath. The dead dictator, the gore washed from his face this time, is dumped on the dirty road with a bullet hole in his forehead just above his left eye. Framed in another cell phone camera, we see of the corpse “cleaned up.” We see the fatal gunshot wound. The ambulance drivers apparently could not touch up the gunpowder burn on the skin indicating death by “cross fire” at close range of a gun muzzle pointed “against” the forehead by a 9 millimeter pistol. This is the same caliber of a gold plated pistol taken from Gaddafi when he was captured.

At the time of this writing Gaddafi’s corpse is on display in a refrigerator cargo trailer in Misurata for anyone to visit. The provisional Libyan government acquiesced to NATO and UN requests for an independent post mortem of Gaddafi to prove he was killed in cross fire rather than by a gun totting mob of scarcely trained NTC rebel soldiers. All pretense of civility aside, it is pretty clear that Gaddafi met a very blood-soaked end “Romanian-style”, just as my oracle had foreseen 8 months ago in the passage above – summarily executed by his captors, perhaps with his own pistol at close range.

History has a weird way of repeating itself. In 1989, the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu a close ally to Gaddafi in better days, also was caught fleeing his enraged and armed people. When his Communist regime fell a similar orgy of massacres and bloody street fighting ensued. He and his right hand “man” (Elena his brutish wife) tried to escape but were caught by police and delivered to Romanian soldiers who after the briefest of trials, lined them both against a wall and executed them. Like Gaddafi, their bullet-riddled bodies were filmed for posterity.

Nicolae Ceaucescu, filmed after execution.

I enlarged upon explaining my Ceausescu-style execution prediction made in February the following month when NATO enacted its no-fly zone over Libya effectively taking sides in the civil war against Gaddafi’s forces, which were on the approaches of the rebel stronghold of Benghazi – the outcome at the time was uncertain:

The tank "technicals" of the Romanian uprising in 1989.

The fall in late 1989 of the East German Communist regime Erich Honeker regime in East Berlin caused a regional chain reaction across Eastern Europe with communist dictatorships falling mostly with a whimper except one: the eccentric strongman Nicolae Ceausescu of Romania, every inch as daffy a dictator as Gaddafi. Relinquish power? Only over his dead body, like Gaddafi threatens today.

I predict Gaddafi and his son and successor Saif al-Islam (Sword of Islam) will die like Ceausescu, but unlike the Romanian bloodbath, it may not end the relatively brief fighting in the streets. Conflict could be protracted. Gaddafi may be dead soon but the fighting will not end with his life like Ceaucescu. It may only be the beginning of fighting between Libyans unless the same allies setting up a no-fly zone step in for a generation’s time to help them build a modern democratic nation.

Nostradamus and the No-Fly Zone over Libya
(19 March 2011)

Fictional "technicals" of Mad Max movies.

The real work starts now. And this most tribal of Arab nations must find common ground and soon, otherwise the Libyan Revolution of 2011 with become a Balkan-style, Bosnian-Herzegovinian Libyan Civil War of 2012-2013 I also foresaw pitting tribal interests and grudges against achieving national unity. In this worst-case scenario, Libya becomes the Somalia of North Africa, a failed state in ruins, a haven for Islamic jihadist terrorist bases better able to strike the soft underbelly of bankrupt Mediterranean European nations as seems to be implied in the prophecies of Nostradamus.

Let us review a few prophecies of Nostradamus related to Gaddafi, the details of his death and a possible aftermath. Five months and ten days ago I recorded the following comment about the “death by dart” theme of quatrain (2 Q70) alluding to the Adaluncatif (Gaddafi Luna) quatrain (10 Q96) published in Nostradamus’ Les Propheties, way back in the years 1555 and 1558 respectively. At the time I wrote this below, the NATO no fly zone had just been initiated:

The air hunt for Gaddafi is on. This leads me to wonder if at this moment a prophecy penned four-and-a-half centuries ago by the French seer Nostradamus may be weeks, days or moments from fulfillment. Nostradamus’ prophecies most often see the future through the actions of his future countrymen and women of France, so the following prophecy has a very good chance for being applied to a target of future French air forces allied to a coalition of other European, US and Arab League air forces converging over Libya.

Nostradamus and the No Fly Zone over Libya
(19 March 2011)

Nearly two months later, the al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden had been killed by US Navy Seals in Pakistan on 1 May. Thus, I wrote eight days later:

[Gaddafi] is to die soon from a “dart” or “missile” not long after the death of bin Laden, it would seem, if one were to take a refreshed post-Usama-mortem review of the famous anagram prophecy Adaluncatif

Is Osama or Saddam Nostradamus’ Third Antichrist?
(10 May 2011)

Five months and 20 days later, Gaddafi is killed. Osama buried at sea linked to that act connecting his fate with Gaddafi because of the strange riddle that opens a prophecy naming Gaddafi in an anagram:

10 Q96
Religion du nom des mers vaincra,
Contre le secte fils Adaluncatif,
Secte obstinee deploree craindra,
Des deux blessez par Aleph & Aleph.

Let us translate it line by line:

The Religion named after the ocean will overcome…

Actions of others can stand as a date. Around the same time Gaddafi’s compound was bombed by US F-111 fighter-bombers in retaliation for a Berlin disco bombing, Indian mystic Osho was on a world tour that famously had him thrown out of 21 countries because of CIA pressure brought about by the Reagan Administration. Osho means “oceanic.” While he was on his world tour, a CIA jet shadowed him at every stop. Osho and his entourage where forced by the local government to leave soon after. It did not matter if passports and visas were in order. Such was the case in March 1986 when Osho nearly found a haven in Uruguay after being hustled out of Greece. In May, when the process of getting a visa to permanently stay was nearly complete, in came the CIA plane and he had to leave. The next day, President Reagan extended the deadline of debt payments of loans sent to Uruguay and generously added more US aid. A month before, other US jets sent a missile into Gaddafi’s personal quarters. The shattered bedroom had a wall-sized photo-mural of the Libyan coastline and ocean. Does this connect Osho (oceanic) and the Gaddafi “oceanic”? Perhaps.

“KS”, one of my readers, today offers a thoughtful possibility that I will refine. Those of the ocean are the North “Atlantic” Treaty Organization, i.e. NATO. This organization took down Gaddafi by bombing his offensive assets, giving the rebels a chance to succeed.

Now to line 2:

…Against the sect of the son Adaluncatif…

Back in 1986, I proposed for the first time in Nostradamian study that Adaluncatif is an anagram for Gaddafi Luna or Gaddafi of the Crescent, Islam. Here is how that is possible:

Take out “Luna” for “moon”. That leaves you “adcatif”. Phonetic replacements allow the “c” to be the “cah” sound for “cadafi” (Khaddafi or Gaddafi). The “t” is the one letter dropped, as per the anagram rules. I would add that before Gaddafi changed the Libyan flag to a green field, it had the crescent of Islam in white in the original tri-color that the current insurgency has resurrected. Now to line 3 and 4:

…The obstinate, deplored [Gaddafi] sect will be afraid,
Of the two wounded Aleph (A) and Aleph (A).

A and A is a possible riddle for Gaddafi the father and his son and heir, Saif (a)l-Islam (a)l-Gaddafi, being mortally wounded. The source of this wound is described in 2 Q70 as a “dart”, i.e. a 16th-century attempt to describe the falling, pointed warhead of a missile fired perhaps on 20 October 2011 by a French Mirage jet on Gaddafi’s truck column. Nostradamus describes a “machine of flying fire” in 6 Q34 that lets lose the “dart” described in 2 Q70.

Du feu volant la machination,
Viendra troubler au grand chef assiegez:
Dedans sera telle sedition,
Qu’en desespoir seront les profligez.

From the machine of flying fire,
It will come to trouble the besieged chief:
Within there will be such sedition,
That the dissolute ones will be in despair.

Line 1 could describe the French Mirage jet or the US Drone used in the bomb strike on Gaddafi’s column. Line 2 describes Gaddafi’s desperate situation. He is the “besieged chief” in Sirte trying to make a breakout. Lines 3 and 4 could describe the disarray and rout of Gaddafi’s surviving soldiers and the last true believers of his dissolute, evil. They are driven by desperation out of his tribal home to a fiery and bloody end on the road to Misurata.

Now the “dart” (missile) prophecy of 2 Q70:

Le dard du ciel fera son estendue,
Mors en parlant: grande execution:
La pierre en l’arbre la fiere gent rendue,
Bruit humain monstre purge expiation.

The dart from the sky will make its extension,
Deaths in speaking: Great execution:
The stone in the tree [arbor], the proud people surrendered,
Clamor, human monster, purge, expiation.

Line 1: If I were a 16th-century man trying to describe an elongated and finned hell-fire missile or any finned bomb ordinance detaching from the wing of a French jet I might call it a “dart.” This missile or aerial bomb makes its full extension from launch to blast impact among the gathered trucks of Gaddafi’s men. Since Nostradamus heard as well as saw his future visions, line 2 might imply the drivers and men piled in the truck were cut down by supersonic missiles in mid-speech coming from on high from a source they could not see or hear because of the altitude and speed of extending death approaching. What happened reminds me of something I wrote in June about his foretold death coming from a French source:

Nostradamus best sees the future through his French eyes, his French conditioning and how it directly affects future French people.

The French under President Nicolas Sarkozy have been the most bellicose of the NATO allies in prosecuting an air war against Gaddafi’s military assets. From the start, French air forces have openly targeted Libyan command and control targets as ruthlessly as they can in the hopes of killing the assumptive heir and the dictator of Libya. I predict it will be revealed in the future that Sarkozy’s French military policy in Libya is decapitation of the Gaddafi regime. He intends — and he will succeed — in launching a dart or “missile” from the sky that will cause the great execution of Gaddafi in mid speech (deaths in speaking). He will start a sentence he will not complete as a French missile takes him out.

It may be an interesting coincidence only. The quatrain’s indexing (70) is a near miss for the year 1969 when Gaddafi overthrew King Idris of Libya.

Nostradamus, Osama buried by Sea and Death for Gaddafi
(10 June 2011)

This future was a near miss by French missile strikes. Gaddafi survived though blast effects could have injured him. Review again lines 3 and 4 of the above quatrain:

The stone in the tree [arbor], the proud people surrendered,
Clamor, human monster, purge, expiation.

Remember, Gaddafi and the surviving men ran under the cover of trees to hide inside two cement drainage pipes. Thus line 3’s riddle implies the stone (cement) and the tree (the tree cover). After a fire fight Gaddafi’s bodyguards surrendered. Gaddafi is described in one report emerging from the drain pipe standing proudly with head held upright demanding who the attackers where and what did they want with him (the proud people surrendered).

The "human monster" -- Gaddafi.

Line 4 may forecast in Nostradamus’ mind the images and shouting of “God is Great!” in Arabic, yet unborn for centuries to come when it would be recorded by cell phones. He may have seen centuries ago what we saw just recently, the clamor of the crowd of excited young rebel fighters pulling and punching at Gaddafi. The human monster is the gore soaked and wounded dictator looking like a bloody demon in Nostradamus’ vision. The purge of his followers shot down by missiles and gunfire. The expiation is Gaddafi in his final moments violently paying for the crimes of his 42-year terror of his people with his life.

I would like to hope that the final words of this prophecy lead after a difficult process of catharsis, purging and atonement to a national restitution of the wrong done to the Libyan people that will soon after bring a period of peace and unity to the country.

One way or the other I predict it will happen. It will happen either now through a democratic process, or after 2013 when a tribal civil war coming in the aftermath of Gaddafi’s death burns itself out.

I wonder though if this new riddle from Nostradamus may warn what is coming next in Libya and the Arab revolutions because it may be naming the provisional Prime Minister of Libya here in a quatrain indexed 1 Q56 in Nostradamus’ prophecies:

Vous verrez tost & tard faire grand change,
Horreurs extremes & vindications:
Que si la lune conduicte par son ange,
Le Ciel s’approche des inclinations.

You will see, sooner and later, great changes made,
Extreme horrors and vengeances:
For as the moon (of Islam) is thus led by its angel,
The heavens draw near to the reckoning.

Provisional Libyan Prime Minister Jabril.

The crescent Moon is the sign of Islam. The new Libyan flag has a white crescent in the middle black stripe of its red, black and green tricolor design. The Angel Gabriel is said to have appeared to Muhammad who helped him found Islam. The name of Gabriel in Arabic is Jibril. The Prime Minister of the provisional government of Libya is named “Jibril.”

Friends,
First I invite you to read this message about the progress of my newest book, Predictions for 2012. Now to today’s article.

There is a lot of sensational rumor leaking out of the FBI like a broken inkwell for thumbprints, black and obscure, very messy! Apparently an Iranian-US citizen acted as go-between on visits to Teheran with operatives of the al-Quds Revolutionary Guards to pay for and hire Mexican cartel hit men to cross the US border and assassinate the Saudi Arabian Ambassador. They would throw a bomb into his lunch plate at a crowded local restaurant in Washington DC then hurl bombs at the Israeli Embassy. The blood money pledged was ridiculously low for any Mexican cartel to reap the whirlwind of US retaliation, a mere 1.4 million bucks. That will get you  a sack of cocaine.

I have watched Iran since my Boeing 747 Air India flight made a memorable midnight run over the Persian Gulf during the first week of the Iran-Iraq War in September 1980 while I was on my way to meet Osho in India for the first time.

The details coming out of FBI agent’s mouths – and flummoxing Senators debriefed on 13 October by such – are as clouded as Octopus ink and it is just as fishy. The whole story stinks to me.

It stinks of right-wing elements in the US and Israeli governments waving a false flag. These elements would still like to see plan B of their strategic goals achieved even in an Obama first or second term. This newly “discovered” Iran terror plot sounds like a semi-fictional incident (like WMDs in Iraq). It is intended to distract people away from a growing Occupy Wall Street national now “international” movement and perhaps distract people’s attention in Israel away from the steady progress of the Palestinian Authority towards some form of sovereign status in the United Nations by “trick or treat” time – Halloween.

It seems like a good time for government back door propaganda to stifle dissent in America and Israel with an ultimate and nationally uniting action. Let us make up a war with Iran and in the venture take down its Islamic Fundamentalist Theocracy. This whole terror plot smells of shadow elements in the Israeli and American governments that would like to accomplish the destruction of the Iranian regime.

That aim has been the Zionist/Neo-Conservative agenda fomented by the former Vice President Dick Cheney as far back as 1992 when Cheney as editor and a future G.W. Bush deputy Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz, authored the Neo-Con movement’s first of many evolving manifestos published after the fall of the Soviet Union. These sought to convince Americans of a new enemy to sustain the military industrial complex of the US superpower after the end of the Cold War. After the Soviet colossus fell Iraq and Iran, modestly if fairly fit the bill. They both were radically governed nations bestride some of the largest oil reserves in the world that sustained the United States “and” Western civilization with crude oil. These rogue regimes, perhaps rightfully, had to go, either by economic pressure or through unilateral invasion if global consensus was not forthcoming.

The Neo-Conservatives moved from theory to power in 2001 with G.W. Bush’s administration initially crowding their number in top cabinet posts.

Bill Kristol is the current editor of the Weekly Standard and a number of Neo-Con papers including one published in September 2000 just before the Bush-Gore presidential debates musing about the need for a “Peal Harbor” event to advance Neo-Conservative agendas. Kristol, who like many Neo-Cons enjoys dual citizenship as an American and Israeli citizen, and who also think tanks for Israeli foreign policy, has called for open war with Iran saying about this recently exposed terror plot, “We have an engraved invitation.” Since 1998, Kristol lobbied for war with Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq and said a fortnight after the 9/11 attacks in 2001 that “even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack, any strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power." Kristol advocated this stance in 2002 through early 2003 as a board member to the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq that lobbied hard to successfully convince Congress to vote G.W. Bush war powers to invade Iraq.

In 2000, a Neo-Con manifesto openly pondered the need for a “Pearl Harbor event” to hasten their goals. Surprise, surprise! They got one on 11 September 2001 with al-Qaeda’s aid. Now they had their national emergency and Congress grasped by its left or right leaning “balls.” The Neo-cons could make their puppet president do or say whatever they wanted because the hysteria of national unity stifled rational critics. By false flag WMD scares, they succeeded in 2003 taking down Iraq’s Saddam Hussein regime. Iran was next.

US Plans for war studied and rehearsed from 2004 through 2006 were so brazen that I felt it was time to collect Nostradamus’ many references to a war in our future between Israel and America versus Iran because it seemed imminent. The first of two astrological windows for war were open during 2007. If the first closed, the next window would open in the near future in not far off 2015-2016.

In 2006, I began composing an e-book that matched up Nostradamus prophecies with the lightly veiled apocalyptic motives of leaders in the three potential combatant states. First in America’s highest office you have evangelical Christian war hawks in the Neo-Conservative cabinet of a president who famously said that “God” told him to invade Iraq and Iran was next. You had similar latter-day aspirations murmured by the Israeli cabinet and prime minister – some openly musing that war with Iran would be a portent for the Jewish Messiah soon to come. You had Iranian President Ahmadinejad loudly and notoriously proclaim his apocalyptic aspirations for Israel being “wiped off the map of history.” Even now the Iranian president opens every public speech, even before the United Nations, with a prayer for the return of the Mahdi. He is the 12th Imam, the final prophet who will reappear from his occultation to bring on an Islamic Armageddon that will take back al-Quds (the Iranian name for Jerusalem) and make the surviving Jews true believers of Islam.

The mainstream news as ever, overlooked the subconscious motivations beneath this three-way saber rattling for Armageddon. In early 2007, I deemed it was time to publish my findings about them and perhaps go on media outlets around the world exposing these prophetic motivations examining possible war scenarios of the 16^th century French prophet leading up to those purportedly recorded in the Hadith by Islam’s final prophet himself, Muhammad.

In that book Nostradamus: The War with Iran, I gathered a number of Nostradamus prophecies that pointed to a future military showdown with Persia (modern day Iran) by Western forces. These verses using contemporary names from the 16th century even mentioned the Persian Gulf and its narrow opening, the Strait of Hormuz, as the site of a future naval and air battles where a fleet will be “melted and sunk” by those of the “trident.”

As usual, there are layers to the riddles of Nostradamus’ wordplay. The seemingly obvious solution modern people might apply is a US “trident” class submarine that melts and sinks an Iranian surface fleet that consists of an armada of thousands of small boats — none of which are larger in tonnage than corvettes armed with a brace of Chinese silk missiles. Certainly the overwhelming force of Trident submarines or the hail of fiery death descending from missiles fired by US Navy carrier jets, cruisers, frigates and destroyers would be enough to “melt” and sink any suicidal attack by a flotilla of PT 109-pint sized Kamikaze craft piloted by Iranian Shahid (martyrs).

Indeed, Nostradamus may have named the US fleet obscured in another interesting word riddle. They are called “the True Serpent.” If you look down 4.5 centuries of Nostradamus’ future history of the world that has become our past, you will often find his riddles and descriptions using nicknames or flags flown by armies and or fleets of water and even air. For instance, we have “those of the Sun” in Century 5 Quatrain 11 of Nostradamus’ history of the future Les Propheties:

Mer par solaires seure ne passera,
Ceux de Venus tiendront toute l’Affrique:
Lure regne plus Sol, Saturne n’occupera,
Et changera la part Asiatique.

Those of the Sun will not cross the sea in safety,
Those of Venus will hold all of Africa:
Their realm will no longer be occupied by Sun (and) Saturn,
And the Asiatic part will change.

Reference to those of the Sun standing alone is open to many possibilities, but the reference to Venus (a code name for “Venice”) is often used by Nostradamus to describe fascist Italy during the Second World War. Though Italy had possession of Libya, Somalia and Ethiopia at the start of the war, they did not achieve control of Africa, unless this is one of Nostradamus’ alternative futures only partially fulfilled. Saturn’s color is as black as Italian Black Shirts and German Gestapo SS troops, symbols of Axis fascism

The Battle of Midway, by R.G. Smith. Three Japanese fleet carriers take direct and fatal hits from US Navy Dauntless dive bombers, turning the tide of the war on the Pacific Ocean in June 1942. "Those of the Sun will not cross the sea in safety," wrote Nostradamus 386 years earlier. Perhaps his vision foresaw the great red suns painted on the carrier decks?

Those of the “Sun” describe the third Axis ally: the Imperial Japanese fleet, visualized in Nostradamus’ nightly reveries in trance as dark gray warships flying the rising sun flag. The US Navy and the Army Air Forces would nearly sink the entire Japanese fleet in the Second World War. The fall of the Japanese empire forever changed Asia, ending its colonial hold and that of Western empires in a series of popular anti-colonial rebellions in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and also witness the rise of a sleeping giant, the People’s Republic of China.

The true serpent fighting the Persians in our future may be another reference to a naval flag. In my book about Nostradamus’ predictions for Iran, I said the following:

Every ship in this vast US armada flies the US flag and a US Navy Jack. Note that it is a flag with thirteen red and white stripes over which an American Rattlesnake crawls under the motto “Don’t Tread on Me!” It is only in recent times that all ships of the American Navy hoist this flag. On May 22, 2002, the U.S. Navy ordered all ships to display the First Navy Jack as long as the War on Terrorism continued. Ceremonies to raise the flag of the “true” serpent took place on every US Naval ship on 11 September 2002, the first anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the “Pearl Harbor” event that launched the world war of terrorism.

On some near future date, or perhaps as late as 2015, the “true serpent” will “invade” the waters of the Persian Gulf.

Nostradamus: The War with Iran
Chapter Six: “In the Arabian [Persian]
Gulf, A great Fleet will be plunged to the Bottom.”

The US Navy Jack displayed in a US super-carrier hangar.

So, with that said, is war with Iran about to break out earlier than the astrological window of 2015-2016?

My answer is emphatic.

It is no.

Gaming out this news of an Iranian terror plot this week is a propagandized step towards such a war happening when the astrological aspects I described in detail in the book open the potential for conflict once again about four to five years hence. Indeed the Navy Jack takes on new symbolic significance.

The true serpent flag is also the symbol of the American Tea Party. Perhaps in 2016 there will be elected a president of the United States who is a member of that “true serpentine party”? How ironic it would be if the party that often promotes America pulling out of wars in the Middle East actually got their man or woman into the White House who then led America into its third and most disastrous war.

Another scenario would have President Obama in his second term, co-opted by a Tea Party controlled Congress who pushes him into signing on to Neo-Conservative aspirations for a war after years of negotiation with Iran went nowhere. It is a fact that Obama at present has chosen diplomacy first in his efforts to take Iran out of the nuclear arms race with Israel. However, he has left the apocalyptic door open that G.W. Bush and his Neo-Con handler, Dick Cheney, had closed in their faces by events at the end of Bush’s second term.

HOGUE PROPHECY NEWS FLASHES:
New Hogue e-Book is coming soon: Predictions for 2012

I intend to compose and complete my next almanac of yearly prophecies and get it out quickly to my readers by early December.

Here is how you can help make that happen and secure your own special edition. Read More…

Occupy Wall Street Goes Global
This is not a movement of hippies, corporate media hacks and it is far bigger and more mainstream already than the Tea Party ever was. Occupy Wall Street keeps gaining momentum across the United States with polls showing 75 percent of Americans sympathetic or in full support of the movement. This weekend it spreads to “Occupy” movements across the world in Europe, Australia and Asia.

Three thousand gathered before the London stock exchange, and six thousand plan to camp, Ziccotti Park NY style, before the European Central Bank headquarter in Frankfurt. Demonstrations where held in 50 other German cities including 6,000 demonstrators in Berlin and 1,500 in Cologne. Thousands also gathered before banks and stock exchanges in Australia, South Africa, Taiwan, Hong Kong China and Tokyo Japan.

The demonstrations in the US are at last showing results politically with Secretary of Treasury and Secretary of State, Tim Geithner and Hillary Clinton sending clear signals Friday that more bank reforms are coming and must come.

On an ominous note, peaceful protests on Friday and today were eclipsed in Rome with widespread violence. The blazing cars, shattered shop, and bank glass windows of Roman streets can be the future of this movement around the world next year in 2012, because Italy is far closer to economic default. Politicians are running out of time if they do not legislate banking reforms before this peaceful global movement must get their attention by rioting.

A map of the projected tsunami issuing from the slide of Las Palmas island's western half into the Atlantic, plus the time it would take the wave to reach coastlines.

Canary Island about to Erupt?
Are Atlantic Tsunamis coming Next?

Tsunamis come in protest movements. Will they be coming as waves flooding the North Atlantic coastlines of Brazil, America and Europe? The windswept El Hierro Island in the Canary Island chain for months now has endured a significant earthquake swarm symptomatic of an imminent volcanic eruption. Unconfirmed reports of volcanic material floating off El Hierro’s coast might indicate a submarine eruption has begun.

In prehistoric times a large piece of El Hierro sloughed off into the Atlantic no doubt causing a catastrophic tsunami. The satellite photos showing a green subsea plume of a purported fissure in the island’s undersea shelf on the south side may presage an underwater landslide that might cause a tsunami, though I doubt it would generate any to match the previous monster wave that raged off its northern shore in prehistoric times.

This situation deserves watching, but some websites are practicing prophetic hyperbole by inaccurately comparing El Hierro to its larger volcanic island neighbor Las Palmas as the same, even in photos used. For now, Las Palmas is inactive, so those of you who think a 130-to-160-foot wave will crash into the US eastern seaboard eight hours after an imminent landslide are mixing your mega disaster metaphors and islands. Moreover, most of El Hierro’s tsunami energy would go south to the West African coast all the way to Antarctica, not west, if we were talking about Las Palmas.

I consulted my oracle about El Hierro. In the worst case scenario a tsunami might arise as devastating to other Canary Islands as that which flooded Japan in March of 2011. The main visitations with sporadic harbor and coastal damage like what was experienced in the Hawaiian Islands and Santa Cruz California from the Japanese tsunami would range along the sparsely populated Western Sahara southwards to the Mauritanian coast down to the city of Dakar, in Senegal.

My oracle at this point does not see a major tsunami coming out of a future eruption of El Hierro. It is much more concerned with El Hierro’s volcanism triggering a Las Palmas eruption causing half the geologically unstable, western coastal mountainside of the island to suddenly slip into the Atlantic. Such an event would be a civilization-changing catastrophe sending a tsunami up to 160 feet high roaring 4.5 miles inland over the coasts of Brazil, French Guyana, Surname, Guyana, east Venezuela, the Caribbean islands of the Lesser Antilles, and the US Atlantic seaboard!

A still taken from the movie "The Day After Tomorrow". This is what it might look like if a 160-foot tsunami should roll into New York City harbor only eight hours after the Las Palmas landslide.

Europe would also be hit by significant tsunamis between 16 and 23 feet high, nearly as destructive as those inundating the Honshu coastal towns and Sendai airport, would visit Ireland, Iceland, England, France and Spain. The Canary Islands and the nearby mainland coastline of southwestern Morocco and the neighboring nation of Western Sahara might witness a tsunami flood 300 feet high!

That danger, for now is not before us. If I feel that Las Palmas is next, you, my dear readers, will be the first to know, especially, if you are already members of my newsletter. If you are not yet members, please sign up here.

PROPHECY NEWS FLASH (06 October 2011): Scroll down to the end of this article and read the first of three expected declarations from the Occupy Wall Street Movement.

What happens when an angry mass of people feel like their lives are stuck in neutral by perceived symbols of power oppression? If they aren’t heard, if they aren’t able to move forward, they can riot.

Predictions for 2011
Chapter 2, Watts-ington DC

Friends,
I have been anticipating a popular street rebellion for years now. A potential “Tea Party” initially issuing out of the politically Left wing and labor-oriented side of America’s hollowing out Middle Classes, the new poor. Among them are college graduates who can’t find a job, the overworked and underemployed. The chronically unemployed whose jobs went overseas, the elderly whom the hardhearted will cut their care. They are blue-collar laborers deemed second class Americans because they build the colleges rather than attend college. They are the first of many from the 45 million uninsured working poor soon to join the crowds gathering in the streets before Wall Street.

Now for something more radical than Left and Right wing extremism. This initially rag-tag collection of people of differing generational and political backgrounds do seek a common ground. They are radical enough to share something rather than be a part of the spoiled and whining-child political polarization that is in fad these days. The demonstrators, be they Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or independent voters share being the “99 Percent” who are not part of Wall Street, the banking system or billionaires who Bush, then Obama with few if any strings to reform attached, has bailed out for economic sub-prime speculation crimes. They are not the “Bangsters” who then took these trillion-dollar Bush-TARP and then Obamabailouts from the taxpayers’ pockets and used the funds to lobby and crush further reform.

The 99-ers are are losing their middle class status by the millions of households annually since the Great Recession began in 2008 and returns at the end of 2011. They lose by creeping legislation their health benefits the majority of our US Senators will not lose. They’ll still have their pensions, their health care. Many a US Senator is a millionaire, just like President Obama and Bush before him. They can spare a crocodile tear and muse in comfort inside their swank townhouses and White House in Washington DC, tossing a few cheap words about feeling empathy for the rest of us. In truth, they neither need nor protect your labor laws, your clean air and water laws — many of which are set to quietly run out and vanish by the end of 2012. They hope you’re not watching them do it. The corporate media distracts your attention from them doing it. You the people give the corporate media permission to use your airwaves. You can threaten to pull the plug on them if in the name of journalism they overlook the steady usurpation of your rights and freedoms.

Barack Obama, today's Faux Pas or tomorrow's Guy Fawkes Pas?

Your legislators in the pocket of the 1-percent powerful give allegiance to a handful of moneyed lobbyists and not the struggling millions of true citizens. They aid a new American who is not a real person. There is a new species of “citizen” given birth by a ruling of the Supreme Court in 2010. There are new “Americans” otherwise known as mulit-billion-dollar “corporations.”

The American Declaration of Independence may have famously declared that “all men are created equal” but I think multi-national corporations masquerading as single American citizens are a little more “equal” than you or I, thanks to the Supreme Court’s billionaire-bullshit made into law. Since then, their 1 percent is far more equal than all the 99 percent of Americans put together. You even pay more taxes than the 1-percent wealthy. They pay hardly any taxes and have become insanely rich as the rest of the country descends insanely into poverty.

Watch well, you aristocratic gentry of the 21st century. History has a bad habit of repeating itself. The costumes and social façades may change, but the essence of history does not. Think Russia, you wealthy folk. Think of what happens when one percent holds two thirds of the wealth of a nation, demanding the rest suffer further impoverishing sacrifices that the boyars of billions of hoarded bucks do not, a lion’s, share.

Don’t Francis Fukuyama-up again by listening to idiot Neo-Con philosophers that promote an End of History when in truth history is perpetual. The look of things may change but the communism that fell in the early 1990s, the fascism that fell in 1945 can return once again when economic crises spread to become political crises like they did in Czarist Russia, leading to the Bolshevik Revolution and also when the wimpy Weimar Republic collapsed and became Hitler’s Third Reich.

While billionaires revel in their offices thirty stories above the angry streets below, they may not hear the same murmur, or see the gathering masses in protest with any more foresight than the last Russian Czar and his oligarchs less than a decade before the Russian Revolution. Nicholas I, sitting complacently behind the walls of his Winter Palace; the 1 percent ruling gentry, on their faraway estates – getting richer, getting fatter, chose to be unmindful if not in complete denial of the growing masses in St. Petersburg and Moscow protesting the lack of bread, the lack of jobs, a fair share of the nation’s sacrifices and bounties.

You wealthy in your gated communities and high-rise bank offices, do you think history has ended?

Do you believe you can’t find yourself within less than a decade lined up against a wall and shot in a bloody revolution, especially in a country awash in 300 million guns?

America is at a critical crossroads this autumn of 2011. We are less than a decade away from our own version of a Nazi Brown or Bolshevik Red Revolution, if polarization of the political dialogue deepens whilst leadership strays. I have been gathering and reporting for years collective visions from may seers of diverse disciplines and historic times dating a Second American Revolution coming as soon as the 2020s. Though I personally work towards that revolution being peaceful and refreshing the American Dream, I must admit that my efforts run against a prophetic collective momentum presaging a revolution and or civil conflict far bloodier than any experienced in US history so far.

For F's sake, Francis. History does repeat itself. Look at the girl in this iconic kiss photo, celebrating the end of WWII. She did it again!!

I foresaw grass root, popular protests coming in predictions documented for the period of 2010 through 2011; moreover I anticipated the people movements coming from the extremes of the left and right wing. The Tea Party on the Right and the initially left leaning “99 Percenters” movement, though the latter, I predict will ignite the middle class mainstream, the invisible majority of independent voters, from now through November 2012. The presidential candidate that can either join the wave or lead it will be elected president.

What follows is my prescient testimony to how we got from the Recession to what I hope is a peaceful rebellion of the 99-Percent movement that may yet forestall a violent revolution in the next decade.

We will begin with a selection of the predictions from the end of 2009, in which I logged what was coming in the next two years as a failure to reform political and economic systems. It accurately foresaw the US rich and elites (including the Congress and the President) not listening to or answering the needs of 99 percent of their economically suffering constituents. Then we move to predictions logged at the end of 2010 that anticipated the people movement that on this very day received the official endorsement of US union support. The demonstrations now spread beyond New York and Washington DC to 30 cities across the US. This is only the beginning of a protest of mass-American discontent with the way sacrifice and wealth isn’t shared.

We start with a passage from late 2009 anticipating how do-nothing politicians wouldn’t risk leading and applying bold solutions to economic problems in 2010-2011.

Fate comes calling. Everyone this year is going to have to pay their pound sterling or dollar’s worth of flesh, be they rich man poor man, CEO, thief. You can’t spend more than you have or inflate values in commodities and currencies that don’t exist. Washington DC, you can’t waste another year like you will squander 2010 blundering about beating your chests before the sensation-centric media. You politicians must venture dangerous, unpopular decisions on a plethora of challenges.

Predictions for 2010
Chapter 4: Real Economy Reform Hits a Wall Street of Banksters

Next, a scathing oracular attack on the elitism of Barack Obama: this immature and inexperienced “Meritocrat” from the Ivy Leagues surrounding himself with economic advisers stuck in the same bubble. The oracle presaged a flunking grade, noting that by the end of 2010 it would be clear Obama sold himself out to elitist fantasies about leading America out of its economic doldrums:

Finance is the handmaiden of Industry and yes, the young and inspiring president [Obama] came into office with a generational pain in the national reserve, an unregulated disaster of the Bush administration leaving Obama holding the last straw that brokered the camel’s bank. Early and decisive finance reform was one in a host of Obama’s messianic campaign promises pushed to the back of the bus.

He soon surrounded himself with a think tank of insider experts, a Secretary of Treasury quarterback and an offensive Wall Street team of blocker banking insiders. None ran a real mainstreet business. These academics never made billions in the “real” economy. No Trumps, no Michael Bloombergs. Just fellow college elites. Abstract and professorial economic specialists. Technocrats like Sec. of Treasury Tim Geithner…

I mean Geithner smells of insider trading in his job at NYC Fed for chief finance minister of the land. He crashed Lehman Bothers then bailed out other bigger failures. He overlooked paying $50,000 of his own taxes even. How is he punished? With a “bonus”—running Obama’s US Treasury Department.

Rewarding failure smells like the team spirit of elitism. The new president is comfortable with wonky elites by the grace of scholarship pulling him out of destined obscurity as a lower middle class hangout in Hawaii. By the grace of university grants he was given access to the echoing halls of higher learning-how-to-impress and influence people for promotion. Obama is smitten by the elitist lifestyle. He wanted to belong then; he wants to belong now, all rhetoric aside. This egoistic need stands in the way of his potential for greatness…

More than naivety or a shallow read of history will bedevil Obama in 2010. It would seem he has made a bargain with the CEOligarchs of the financial sector. He thinks he can stroke the hand and change the heart of the elites feeding him power and significance.

Predictions for 2010
Chapter 4: Real Economy Reform Hits a Wall Street of Banksters

Despite my oracle’s pessimism in late 2009 about the coming two years, it did eventually presage oligarchic control colliding with popular desires for reform as a repetition of the great 250-year cycle of middle class revolutions defined by the returned rare transit of Pluto through Capricorn. Now as before, when the wealthy class push comes to the people’s returned shove, you begin to see the kind of demonstrations before icons of authority, such as the Tahrir Square-like demonstrations currently ongoing near the façade of Wall Street. The corporate media may disparage these little demonstrations as they are employed to be teleprompted by their masters to do, but back in 2009, my oracle bore witness to such protests coming on like pebbles of people power that will soon start an avalanche of hopefully peaceful revolution and reform between now and 2024.

The pendulum has begun to swing and though it seems hard to believe that government will reform and regulate business as it used to, the long-term progress of this era of Pluto’s transit through Capricorn (2008-2024) will bring a subconscious desire for control and reform to return.

These powerful Plutonian collective unconscious forces described in the prescient poetry of astrology frame a deep and urgent desire for revolution that is rooted in logical, working and well-defined systems. The founding fathers of America labored and argued hard to forge such a rational constitutional system of governance the last time Pluto passed slowly through the sign of Capricorn. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the United States are products of that transit.

Predictions for 2010
Chapter 4: Real Economy Reform Hits a Wall Street of Banksters

In the following passage, my oracle foresaw a new definition of racism would rise that is more based on dividing us between the races who “have” and the races who “have-not” wealth and elitist, moneyed influence. The US leadership and especially the president – subconsciously perhaps – belong to the racist “haves” who patronize the “have-nots”. Obama is an Ivy League millionaire. He spends most of his days with other Ivy League or politically influential millionaires and billionaires. His feeling our pain is filtered through this new form of economic racism. His empathy is abstract, cerebral. My oracle saw this coming at the end of 2009 when it had me write the following:

A new Aquarian-Age racial discrimination coming is far more subtle than what is at last being transcended since Obama’s advent: a kind of racism not easily exposed. Mostly very good people unconsciously are caught under its spell. Even the president himself seems in his rhetoric to be unconsciously a racist in the new cut of destiny’s wild card. He’s of the Race of “Haves” who often patronize those belonging to the race of “Have-nots.”

Attention Muggles! Meet the One-Percenters of pure blooded wizards.

Your economic standing is the new measure of racism in America. It’s like half-blood Muggles versus pure blood magicians in the Harry Potter novels and movies. Doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, red or yellow, female or male, if you’ve got the magic of money, you are part of the race of magicians, if you are any color or gender but without a lot of the color greenback dollar of a good bank account, you are a muddling un-magical Muggle-born…

In 2010, the Geithners the Obamas and all the other ivy leaguers in the US Cabinet will learn the hard way. Merit is earned after you leave the university bubble, not before. The real test of the measure of your authentic meritocracy is at hand, Mr. President, and that of your flock of preppy technocrats. It might do well to include in your ranks those of lesser racial respect who didn’t go to college but passed successfully through the university of life and hard work accomplished. You might talk to those who used higher learning as a means to that end rather than a means to a superior dead-ended sense of audacious entitlement.

Predictions for 2010
Chapter 5: The New Racism

Erin Burnett. How far you have fallen. From CNBC to CNN "BS". I happened to see her first show where this once respected journalist becomes a Corporate Media mannequin. In the Wolf Blitzer tradition, she tells us what to think about footage that only shows a few cranks dressed in zombie constumes in the crowds at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. Shame on you, Erin. You're the one who's the zombie.

Now let us move forward to predictions logged at the end of 2010. My oracle perceived the essence of a popular movement – that we currently define as the 99-Percent of Americans protesting the corruption, wealth hoarding and lack of sacrificing they perceive coming from the 1 percent of Americans who have the lobbies, the Congress, perhaps the president even, and the courts on their side. The race of “haves” are ever more defined by the 99-percent “have nots” as tightening their control on the wealth and political powers in America. To the 99-Percenters it would seem my oracle as far back as December of last year, had provided the following prescient cautions, comments and instructions on how to use social media as a tool of protest and what to do with this tool next:

I predict that countries, common (communal) markets, and industries will continue to hurt themselves if they don’t come together and fix what are becoming inter-national, inter-global, interconnected problems. That’s why the rest of Europe will help Greece as well as Spain, Portugal and Ireland’s troubled economies with financial assistance by the middle of 2011.

Take back the power from CEOlygarchies. Rediscover your authentic needs, then demand influence over what they supply.

If governments are slow to support watchdog agencies, citizens of the world can expose and change behavior of corporations via the power of the Internet to organize protests and declare their demands. You can WikiLeak. Expose craftiness and undemocratic behavior of your governments and corporations. Don’t like what British Petroleum did in the Gulf of Mexico last year [2010]? Start an Internet campaign to boycott buying any product associated with BP until they change their dangerous drilling practices. Any customer can be the first spark of a watchdog agency getting his or her message out to the worldwide-wired human world.

The same citizen power carried by Internet can revolutionize government and politics. Government need not be dismantled. It can be redefined to suit our 21st century. E-Gov approaches. It gives everyone with a computer keyboard or a smartphone direct access to public servants and services.

Though the middle class in America seems politically adrift, it will presently be carried through this decade in the momentum of young-spirited, newly emergent middle classes in the developing world. They can spread an Internet demand of democratic values that can begin pushing back on corporate-controlled governments around the world.

The keyboard is mightier than the culture of bureaucracy that slows and inhibits political and social progress.

The first step in bringing efficiency back to government is a network of citizens undermining bureaucratic attitudes, demanding their governments share information as an individual right.

Predictions for 2011
Chapter 9: An Economy that Invents Demand

In my next blog we will let prophecy lift the veil on the present day’s other immediate and pressing economic quake, the default of Greece and the EU monetary union’s need to throw Greece out of its union, whilst finding 2 trillion Euro’s it doesn’t have to avoid European banking collapse.

UPDATE — 06 October 2011:

FIRST DECLARATION FROM THE “OCCUPY WALL STREET” DEMONSTRATORS

I have posted the Declaration of Occupation coming from Zuccotti Park (renamed Liberty Park by the protesters) yesterday. It is the first of three planned statements explaining the views of the protesters.

The Occupy Wall Street movement describes itself as a leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions.

“The one thing we all have in common,” say the group, “is the we are the 99 Percent that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent.”

They add that they are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve their ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants.

Some of you are wondering why a prophecy watcher’s website is giving so much attention to this popular movement. If you trust my oracle’s instincts, they will point you to the next big thing happening in the future. This movement is a maturation of the first baby steps of the Tea Party movement towards something that I have been writing about since I posted my American Party Manifesto article, years ago. I have often said that only a third party movement that finds common ground amongst a frustrated and angry American populace will have the power to break the two-faced political monopoly of Democrat and Republican Parties that have polarized and frozen American democracy and begun handing it over to corporate control.

The Tea Party was the beginning. Occupy Wall Street and the other demonstrations spreading across the country is the second evolution of what will eventually become a great revolution from the invisible majority of Americans. It will eventually become a revolution from Middle America – the middle being what we all share as Americans.

What follows is the “Declaration of Occupation of New York City” and I predict there is much that all Americans can eventually agree on in these statements whether they politically see the world from the Left, the Center or the Right.

***

As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.

As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

Occupy Seattle demonstrations.

They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.

They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.

They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.

They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.

They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.

They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.

They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.

They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.

Occupy Detroit's posters.

They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.

They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.

They have sold our privacy as a commodity.

They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.

They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.

They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.

They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them.
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.

They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit.

They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.

They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.

They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.

They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.

They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.

They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.

To the people of the world,

We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.

Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.

To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.

Join us and make your voices heard!

The recent Occupy D.C. demonstration.

“Lou” from Australia wrote the following comment/question on 18 September 2011 under the title Hirsute by Choice:

LOU
I stumbled across your 1998 Almanac [1000 for 2000 Startling Predictions for the New Millennium] in a most profound and inordinate way. I was duly impressed by your formidable effort to produce this catalogue and more so by the contents and their correlations. I believe you to be a man in awe of the Creation and its Author, a man with a passion for the conversion of knowledge to reverent wisdom, thereby paving the way for truth and justice to stand unopposed. For this alone I raise a hardy, bravo!

With deep respect for your individuality and the privacy that it commands, I ask in all seriousness a question that on the surface seems quite benign. My reason for prying into your psyche is one of maligned ego perhaps, nonetheless my curiosity requires taming as I feel your response may align with my own deliberations as to the subject matter.

My question, if you care to answer… “Does wearing a beard have particular significance to you and if so could you elaborate?”

As you are no doubt aware, the wearing of a beard is obligatory for men of certain faiths and although I myself am a devout Christian, I concur with the dissertations of these faiths in relation to the nature of mandatory beards as a mark of respect for natural processes bequeathed by the Creator and duly sported by His earthly incarnation, Jesus. Your view?

HOGUE
Dear Lou. I love your question, so much so that I will share it and my response to the entire Hogueprophecy Internet community.

It is natural for a man to have a beard, just as it is natural for a woman not to have a beard. Why should one do violence to one’s face by cutting across it each day? Moreover, if you grow your beard long enough, you will not even feel it on your face, whereas, when you shave all the time or wear a short beard you will always feel its scratch. At a certain point I felt it ridiculous to do further violence to my face so I stopped shaving in my early twenties and have never shaved since.

The other advantage to having a beard in a world of shorn men is that I always know if people see “me” – what lies underneath the physical. Some people are immediately exposed as being “skin deep” when they can’t get beyond the way I look. Some people aren’t even skin deep. They are so imprisoned by their imposed cultural habits that they can’t see down even to my skin. They see the beard and stop there.

There’s also something to say about how many mystics all over the world often have beards. I think it comes from the general thread of thinking or feeling that to be mystical is to be relaxed, venturing inward and thus that relaxedness inwards shows itself in a let go into naturalness outwards. The mystical men and women I’ve known are often natural. The men don’t shave; the women don’t shave their underarms and short hairs. Why do such violence to the body, especially in such tender places?

Some will say one should shave for the sake of hygiene. Some will use the “H” (hippie) word like others look at black people and use the “N” word. It’s the same. It is prejudice hiding behind the name of hygiene. I for one have known many “hairy” people and they were all very clean and hygienic. They also didn’t have infected faces, underarms and panty lines from shaving burns and razor rash. They didn’t wear the sickly stink of aftershave and perfumes. They didn’t paint up their faces like clowns using makeup.

I have no problem with clowns who shave and wear colognes and perfume, other than these things making me sneeze and bringing tears to my eyes. I don’t mind that I have to wash my face when I kiss them because their clown makeup came off on me.

I try to live as best as I can naturally in an unnatural civilization without disturbing the robotic habits people are forced to adopt when being conditioned to be functional cogs in the wheels of societal thinking. It isn’t their fault or mine that we have been conditioned to take on the mask of being creatures of cultural habit. Meditation has helped me see my conditioning and begin a rehabilitating return to living in a natural state appropriate for my unique equality to all other unique beings.

People have their own timing to change. I wouldn’t force a person to stop being society’s costumed, groomed clown until they are ready in their own good time to pull the false eyelashes off, the false clown faces and put away the razors, etc.

Then I think, if Jesus wore a beard and was OK with it, why not me? Why not every clean-shaven Christian?

Alexander the Great played model for Buddha statues.

Did you know that the image of Buddha in the statues is not the way he looked? He was a bearded holy man. The image used for Buddha was that of clean cut and shorn Alexander the Great who had invaded India a few centuries after Buddha lived. Up to that time the symbol of Buddhism had been a Bodhi tree. Isn’t it strange that an egoistic man opposite to meditation and enlightenment in every way would become the image of millions of idols of egoless Lord Buddha?

Alexander...the "Buddha"??!!

In my book Messiahs I wrote a whole essay about how we put upon the face of authentic masters our phony names and egoistic images. Yeshua becomes Romanized with a fake name, Jesus Christ. His people call themselves even today by a derogatory name the pagan Romans gave them, Christians. It means “mini” or “little christs”. Cult pigmy Christilites.

It is an “N” word, folks. And you who call yourselves Christians have adopted this N word and pray to your master addressing your prayers to a completely bogus name that is also good for cussing.

Perhaps that is why one can yell “Oh Jesus Christ!” but one can’t gain the same angry satisfaction yelling “Oh, Yeshua!”

Perhaps this is because the first is a phony name. The second is the true name of the purported Son of God. I mean, try it. “Oh Yeshua!” just doesn’t make as good a cathartic expletive as “Oh, Jeeesus H Chriiiist!!!”

If God named him Yeshua, who are you Christenettes to call him by an Imperial Romanized name unless you are part of a Roman religious cult?

The Roman Empire never deposed the religions of the conquered. They Romanized the people, their goods, their gods, their messiahs and religions. The Romanization of Yeshua into Christ is perhaps their greatest pagan achievement, because after two millennia so few Christians seem aware of this spiritual compromise.

Again, it is not your fault. You’ve been had by your societal conditioning to misname yourselves and Yeshua. Now that you have become aware of this, perhaps you can rediscover this beloved one in a fresh and new light. Your prayers can ascend with a new enlightenment to the right source.

This is my hope: if you are offended by what I have said just now about the name Jesus Christ and Christianity, consider for meditation that it may be your conditioning that is offended. Perhaps this anger is not coming from the true “you”. It is coming from an emotionally robotic program imposed in your subconscious by others who trained your mind to be as utterably in the dark as they are about what glory and light lies trapped underneath the mask of ego.

Truth cannot be offended by anything. Only illusions take offense. What we call our selves is often a cloak of illusions imposed by others who in turn had delusions coated over their souls. Strangely enough, it is no one’s fault. It simply happens. Hell is synonymous with unconscious Happenstance.

Which brings me back to the bare faced lie of Lord Buddha being worshipped in the image of a fascist world conqueror of the 4th century BCE. In the Messiahs essay I compared this to having the image of Christ worship be that of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Have you ever noticed that all the great Fascist societies such as Imperial Rome, Napoleonic France and the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler, want their men cleanly groomed with no long hair or beards?

One could say that shaving is not only a fashion statement but also a “fascist” statement.

No more the blond and bearded barbarian. Hitler’s new German barbarian was clean cut and groomed on the outside, yet a hairy savage Nazi stormtrooper on the inside.

Look how modern society, especially American society, is lurching towards the Fascist right. The short-cropped democrat president Barack Obama governs more like a neo-Richard Nixon Republican moderate. Heck! Ronald Reagan wouldn’t be elected in a Republican primary these days.

Even sexuality is becoming cleaner cut Fascist.

Look at the intimate erotic fashion popular these days with young women on the prowl for a man. They bare their little trimmed Adolf Hitler pubic mustaches to the Nair smoothed and unfrocked follicle member of a prospective mate for a frolic.

Let’s be fair though. Yeshua wore a beard but also Osama bin Laden wore a beard. Buddha was a vegetarian, so was Hitler and Yeshua ate meat. A beard being mandatory in certain faiths and theocracies is just as Fascist an idea as making it obligatory to be clean-shaven in others. Dogma is ever a shallow minded phenomenon. It makes the religious fixate on the surface look of things, bald or hairy-pated. They miss encountering and exploring the soul, which has no beard or clean-shaven original face.

Fascism's fashion statement.

How the human mind is programed to take the natural or the unnatural in twisted ways says less about the virtues of being clean cut or being natural and says more about the collective human mind’s current state of unconsciousness and insanity. And if at this point some of you are asking why I am going on about this subject at length in a prophecy website it is good for you to know that the generally unconscious state of your minds make the future what they will, rather than your suppressed souls under a mind’s sway. If we are unconscious to our insanity and do not bring humor and meditation’s light to shine on it, the future will be as un-funny dark and hairy as my beard rather than as clean as Kirk Douglas’ dimpled chin. The Latin  sanus is the root of the English sanity, and health. Sanus is also the root word for “clean”, for sanitation.

Being Clean or natural is the same as being sane.

So let us have a good brain washing.

Our brains are full of crap borrowed from others to cake a dark ego coating over our luminous souls. Let meditation give our minds a good moment-to-moment cleansing so that they can be sane, clean again, with naked, naturally intelligent innocence.

So look at yourselves and at others beyond the shaved faces, the beards, the bald or bushy underarms or the Hitlerite lean to hippy lush short hairs. Look deeper than the beard on my face. Look inside at the insanity that is the motor of our dire destinies. Wake up. Get sane and see your futures turn golden.
