Why “Gay” and “Marriage” Are As Opposite as “Play” and “Work”

 There is an Aesop fable about the grasshopper and the ant.  The grasshopper fiddled away the warm days, while the ant toiled and worked.  In the end, the ant survived the winter, while the grasshopper died.  Some say the moral of that story is “work ethic,” such that work is hard, but necessary.  That is one moral, but the unseen point is how we all have ant in us, just as we all have grasshopper in us. 

That means it seems too cruel to see the grasshopper as lazy, because after all … he fiddled.  He had obviously put some effort into learning to play the fiddle.  Practice on a musical instrument is the work that must happen before one can play it.  If the grasshopper had played the fiddle poorly, perhaps he would have put down the fiddle in disgust, and gotten up to help the ant work.  Who knows? 

Maybe the grasshopper’s fiddling made the ant’s work seem easier, as he listened to the music?  One can assume that the grasshopper fiddled so well, he preferred playing the fiddle to working.  Could it be that the music filled the grasshopper’s soul so much that he fantasized about making the world a better place?  That my friends (the aha moment) is the dual meaning at the core of the fable.  It is work versus play, with the delima being how one balances both, because an old adage says, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” (B. Franklin).

We all love to play.  Play time motivates us.  It is that carrot on a string we all chase after.  As born babies, once we learn there is a world outside the womb, we want to amuse ourselves.  We reach and smile at the mobile over our cribs.  Then, we love to play with toys, we look forward to going outside and play in yards and playgrounds, and we find friends with whom we can share play time.  We want to play, play, play, and our parents tended to lean us in that play direction.  It kept us out of the way while they got the work done.

In more recent times, parents have wanted their children to be afforded more play time, because they themselves never got much of an opportunity to play in their childhoods.  There was that Depression thing.  In the 1930′s, children were too often sent to the streets to beg, borrow and steal for survival.  That’s work.  Still, as a child I could see in movies, like those featuring the Our Gang kids, Depression era children found time to play baseball and pretend their clubhouse was a fortress to defend.  Kids can make work into play, like trying to put on a “penny opera” with Darla and Alfalfa.   If only adult life could be more play.

The point of all that history is our society used to see work as that chore that HAD to be done, and play as that optional aspect of life that was a luxury.  Once we grew up and became old enough to be assigned chores and duties, we were slowly being weened from that play time habbit.  School became our jobs, and as high school neared an end, we all went out and found some type of real work that paid for our labors.  Once school was over and done, play always came after all the work was finished.  That goes along with being all grown up and being called “adults.”

Today, things have not changed.  Work still is a must for all adults, but perceptions about adult play have changed.  Being able to play is more representative of having “made it” in the world.  Adults now play on I-phones as much as children do.  We play on Wi and Nintendo computer games, because it is harder to find time to go to a ball field or bowling alley.  We play by watching games of sports play on television, or we play by going to an actual game, to watch grown people play sports for pay.  Instead of someone having to work all the time, one who has it made can “fiddle away time” playing, letting others do all the real work.  It is all about how much money you make as an adult, and who can afford to play and who can’t.

Play time is seen now as the time of the rich and famous, simply because everything cost so much these days.  If one can take the time to play, then one must be well off.  Those in the world who have not quite made it to the point of being a lucky lottery winner, Internet website magnate, or inventor who created a product that sold millions at Wal-mart, those “normal” people have to keep on working.  Their “play time” is used up sitting in front of a television, idolizing pretenders who have been lucky enough to make play their specialty work.  Seeing so much play has almost stopped normal people from praying to God, asking Him to send them the blessing that is an opportunity to work.  People have started praying to idols again, wishing to some day have the same easy, play-play-play lifestyle as the rich and famous.

The problem with that mentality is (if you still cannot see it for yourself) it makes a society weak, as a whole.  Too many grasshoppers and not enough ants is a bad thing, and why the moral of Aesop’s fable is about building a good work ethic.  It sets us up for the hard winter that is always coming, the one that is always too soon in the future to take the risk of playing, avoiding the drugery of work.  There never really is a good time to stop working, because normal people have never stored enough away to survive for long, if one takes off work to play. 

To dream of playing all day long is to lose sight of that survival goal.  Play time is useless if there is not someone doing the work for us.  Children would die if their parents did nothing but play in the sandbox with them all day, doing nothing to bring home the bacon.  No matter how much fantasy one loves to wrap oneself in, the cold, hard reality is work must be done, first and foremost … always. 

Now, turn your attention to a current political issue that is one of our fantasy hot buttons – gay marriage.  One has to see this issue for what it really is.  It is a society that only wants to play.  It is an argument over whether or not those who want to pretend to be married (playing married) should be allowed to play that serious work as a game. 

 Marriage is all about work, because it only has a little to do with sex, and a whole lot to do with child rearing.  That is to say we have long ago entered into times when too many people have lost sight of that primary requirement that says what marriage really means.  It is not about two people playing together the rest of their lives (play = sex), it is about a commitment to have babies and raise them till they drop dead from som much work doing that.

Because that meaning has been long lost, people have seene marriage in selfish ways.  Thay have seen it only about a husband and wife in a contractual agreement, with kids one of those items that get split up when it is no longer fun playing with that old partner.  The disappearance of the true meaning of marriage began when married couples (all heterosexual) started divorcing in such high numbers that children saw marriage as nothing serious.  The children felt how divorce is impossible for them, because they are the ones who are married to the parents, and thus the true meaning of marriage.

Children are now becoming adults with the opinion that marriage can only lead to divorce.  Because children have the innate understanding that “first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage,” marriage is to be avoided just to save the children who are the victims of divorce.  The reason marriage has suffered over the past half-century, or more, is marriage has been seen as only as being between a husband and wife, and not, most importantly, between parents and children. 

Without children defining a marriage, the word has taken on the misrepresentation as being some institution for play, where “marriage” is only a union of a man who loves woman, and vice versa.  Without a pledge to love, honor, conceive, and support children, “marriage” has long been seen as only lasting as long as woman excites man, and vice versa, which means, “as long as two people can have fun playing together, a marriage works.”  Divorce is when two people lose that play time fun.

That definition is wrong.  That misconception has had people start to think “marriage” means a lifetime promise to stay with one partner, through thick and thin, with some high financial punishments if the two partners ever decide to call it quits.  That is not “marriage,” but a business contract.  Gay people see the failures of the institution that is marriage as their opportunity to show the world that gay people can just as committed to a partnership as can opposite-sex couples.  That, my friends, is seeing how two wrongs make a right.

Being gay, as long as that means being homosexual (notice the “sexual” part of that word), means being more driven by one’s own urges for sex.  It says, “Look at me.  I am identified by my love of sexual play.”  When people make a point of having the world know they are heterosexual (again, notice the “sexual” part of that word) they too are more driven by their urges for sex, only they like to have sex with the opposite sex.  That, again, says, “Look at me.  I am identified by my love of sexual play.”  “Don’t ask, don’t tell” is all about, “Shut up and get to work.  Nobody cares what you do during  your play time.”

Sex is never work, not even for prostitutes.  It is playing for money, which is like pretending to be someone you are not, while letting people see you pretend, and charging them money for that (atheletes, actors, singers, etc. – writers too, if they can make money).  As long as one is a human being, and not an animal following pure instinctual behavior, sex is an optional pleasue if it is not for the purpose of making babies.  Sex is always play for those beings who God blessed with a mind that can experience erotic delights while procreating.  Man (and Woman, when not busy taking care of the kids), unlike Animal, has sex because it is play, actually fearing pregnancy. 

Simply because people reach an age when hormones set off sexual urges does not mean they are not playing.  Think about it … where do you think the saying “playing with yourself” comes from?  Sex, after all is said and done, is always about self satisfaction, thus the eternal question, “How was it for you?”

If one has any knowledge of Biblical stories, look at the story of Abraham and Sarah (or Abram and Sarai).  Sarai was so hot, even in her late seventies, that three times VIP’s tried to take her and have sex with her, thinking she was not married.  The reason those intelligent rulers thought that was because she had born no children.  Someone that beautiful was meant to be “with child.”  Abraham was willing, each time, to let another man take his wife and leave him all alone.  He was not willing to make that sacrifice because he was a wussy, but because he agreed with the end result – no children means two are not really married yet.  Abraham thought maybe it was him that was keeping Sarai from having a baby, and perhaps he was shooting blanks, while she was not the ”barren” one.  Abraham thought that because the true definition of marriage says it is for the purpose of having babies to raise.  Without babies linking two sexual partners together, the two sexual partners are only players.

Keeping with that story line from Genesis, after Sarah miraculously had baby Isaac (name means “Laughter,” from the joy of childbirth), when he was a year old Sarah saw Ishmael (Abraham’s first born, through the Egyptian maidservant, Hagar, given to him by the Pharoah) ”playing” with baby Isaac.  Sarah told Abraham; and Abraham had Hagar and Ishmael sent away.  Why?  It was because the Hebrew word that can mean “playing” (some translate it to say “mocking”) actually means “sexually touching.” 

Abraham sent Ishmael and his mother away because Isaac was God’s promise to Abraham, the son who was going to be the father of the promised land people (Jacob/Israel).  Abraham certainly did not need to have any sexual distractions around Isaac, especially one who had been witnessed experiencing strong sexual urges (natural and hormonal, as a teen) and one who had thought it would be okay to practice “playing sex” on a minor of the same sex.  Abraham and Sarah saw how such an influence and experience could possibly make Isaac grow up liking men more than women; and because sex is such a selfish experience, they were worried that if Isaac were to be allowed to play sex too much with those of the same sex, he might never find excitement in one of the opposite sex.  After all, that would be whom he would have to sire the child who would become the father of a nation of people. 

In short, sex is fun when you do it - period – because play is always fun.  Making babies is the fun part of a married relationship, but raising babies is work, commitment, and responsibility.  Two people of the opposite sex can be in a committed relationship and not have babies, but as Abraham and Sarah demonstrated – that is not truly marriage.  That applies to all married couples of the opposite sex, whether too busy working to make sex play for planned procreation, or for barren couples who are too old or too physically impaired to have children, or for divorced parents who have “bagged their limits,” along with the financial punishments of divorce having made it impossible for them to have more.  This means marriage cannot be defined by “sterile relationships.”  While two can now marry simply because being of the oppoiste sex makes it POSSIBLE to have babies, same sex partners means that result is IMPOSSIBLE.

Simply by adding the word “gay” to the word “marriage,” one has turned work (marriage) into a play (announced sexuality) issue.  If it were possible for two people of the same sex to have a natural born child (i.e.: through oral or anal sex, which, btw is not possible), then once that baby appeared, the “gay” times would be over.  It would then be time to raise a child with the influence of “father” and “mother” surrounding the baby’s life, teaching it how to become “married” when it reached it age of maturity and responsibility. 

Of course, people have always played sex, and that includes playing sex with one’s self, and playing sex with someone of the same sex.  However, when two young people of the opposite sex play sex and the female player gets pregnant, then it was time for the boy player to marry the girl player.  Everyone is familiar with the term “shotgun wedding,” I’m sure.  That was an act done so that two opposite sex players are forced to learn the real reason for “marriage.”  Be fruitful and multiply, but once you start having babies, you best hang around and teach them how to be responsible adults, with a good work ethic, knowing that play comes after work.

Certainly, I know the “gay” people of the world do not like seeing themselves as grasshoppers, who hop from one same sex organ to another same sex organ, where life is all about play.  In reality, I imagine there is more heterosexual grasshopping going on (even among married men and women), which is not a representation of marriage, but a representation of the society wanting to play, play, play.  To somehow justify that need to play without the guilt of never being responsible for raising a natural born child, sterile people (as defines a gay couple, et al mentioned above, but also two using birth controls) like the idea of child adoption.  

Married couples of the opposite sex, many of whom are sterile and cannot conceive naturally, often seek the adoption option.  Child adoption is something that is so much work, the child services people have a hard time giving up an adoptee to a single parent.  Thus, gay people see adoption as a way to force an issue towards marriage for gays.  All gay couples would naturally become a place for adoptees, simply because they cannot have children naturally. 

Again, that mindset sees “marriage” as meaning some formal contractual agreement to stay together and only play sex with the same person, “till death do us part.”  To prove it, we will adopt a child and look more like true married people.  That is a modern concept that is as wrong as is idol worship and fantasizing about never having to work again, so one can do nothing but play-play-play.  True marriage is between two opposite-sex partners, who are contractually committed to having natural babies, and also committed to raise their children until they die.  To turn “marriage” into some kind of I.R.S. designation for financial considerations is wrong.  All who live in committed relationship for a full tax year, and all who work to support children during a full tax year should be recognized as such by the I.R.S.  However, they need to add a new box that says, “Significant relationship,” or something like that, rather than further abort the meaning of “marriage.” 

Turning “marraige” into any partnership is simply doing more disrespect to a true institution.  If any changes are to be made, make it clear that a “marriage” ceremony can only be done once the “bun is in the oven,” and then wed the child to the parents in a religious ceremony.  Each parent needs to acknowledge they are making their commitment together as husband and wife, specifically for the purpose of being father and mother.  All say, “I do” to the baby.

I have two children that have lived together for 20-plus years, in close proximity and in not so close proximity.  They will always be brother and sister.  They have that responsibility born into them.  They can never divorce themselves from that responsibility, because it is a way of nature that can never be overturned.  There is no need for a signed contract that binds both of them to being responsible for one another, “till death do them part.”  Even if they hate one another (and they appear to feel that way towards each other from time to time), they can never walk away from that birth relationship, which also links them forever to the birth father and the birth mother.  That is the relationship that truly marks a marriage. 

Any partnership that cannot bear physical babies (vaginal, from a momma’s womb, where the daddy’s donation was placed lovingly while at play) is impossible to be truly a marriage.  This does not include artificial insemination where someone other than the husband and wife contributes either eggs or sperm, transgenders where one is calling oneself “male,” while retaining a vagina with some appendage, or adoption.  It means the husband’s DNA is combined with the wife’s DNA, in holy matrimony.  That marriage is a child.

Now you can call a couple of gay lover’s binding agreement a marriage, or two retirement home geezers tying the knot so they can move into the same apartment a marriage, but seeing the sterility of those unions, what keeps one from calling a signed contract (loan agreement) for a new 2012 BMW 7 series a marriage?  All can be seen as commitments that accept high levels of responsibility, which makes one or both parties involved work very hard to support a plaything.  But, plaything unions will only last as long as it is fun to play with that partner.  When the fun of play wears off, it is time to look for another playmate.  Fortunately, if two “sterile” partners split ways, then no one gets hurt other than those two.  After all, there will never be any babies to worry about finding a home for any of those examples.

To think that adoption makes two people married is wrong, in a technical sense.  Having someone else’s child to raise is like being someone who runs a service for lost children.  One can love a child like his or her own, and the child can love the adoptive parents the same, but “like” means “I wish I had one of my own.”  Since the adoptee is always someone else’s real child, that someone else (for whatever reason short parental death) decided to play rather than be responsible for a natural born baby.  (In cases involving incest or rape, with a child placed for adoption, one sexual party played abusively, while the other was sexually abused.)

To take a baby in and love it is a very good thing, but it is not a marriage.  Think about how many mothers have gven up their “out of wedlock” babies for their mothers or aunts to raise as their own?  Those surrogates accept a baby without going through the marriage process, even though they do all the work of raising a child without government recognition.   They are simply doing good deeds.  Everyone knows a baby cannot take care of itself, and it needs a loving home to grow up in.

We Christians are taught to love everyone as ourselves, so the whole world is to be loved.  That does not require one become married to the whole world.  As close as adoptive parents can be to someone else’s natural born child, (from what I know and have read) the child, once it knows he or she is adopted, always wants to know who his parents are (or were).  The child also wants to know why the parents did not stick around to raise him or her, after having been married to him or her through natural childbirth.  They want to be told why that responsibility seemed like too much work.

As weak as our society has become today, to become gay marriage grasshoppers is just another sign of a moral end coming.  A cold, hard winter is approaching, and there is not enough stored away to survive more destruction to the word “marriage.”  If we allow “gay marriage” to be recognized legally as normal now, those who want this law to be raised in celebration will not cease wanting to have more of their ways made law.  The next step will be to begin the process for making a Constitutional Ammendment that will recognize “gay marriage” as a norm of American society.  Once that process is complete, I see a natural end coming to America, within seventy years. 

Under the “give them an inch and they will take a mile” heuristic rule, legalizing “gay marriage” will be like giving homosexuality a national vote of suppport.  Young people will quite possibily see same sex play as the “en vogue” way to have fun, to fiddle without a worry in the world.  If the economy worsens, no one will be able to afford to have children, so not taking any chances would be encouraged. We would have to teach elementary school students exactly what Ismael was trying to teach Isaac, but rather than banish that form of ”playing,” techers would probably show some form of gay porn as ”instructional videos.”  To have nothing but oral and anal sex seen as the way to have an ideal marriage, no babies will ever be born again.  If we then go demanding mandatory birth controls for those fools who just might still practice opposite-sex-play sex (God forbid!), and if we make it perfectly legal to gut any woman who is “with child” (certainly unwanted, because child birth will not be “en vogue“), then all Americans will have sterilized themselve into extinction.  If that day does come, the end is well-deserved and self-serving.  How fitting an end, as the fiddler plays himself to death one more time.

It Is Impossible to Argue Nostradamus’ Source – God

I did an Internet search this afternoon of the name “Nostradamus.”  Of course, many pages came up.  I went through about 14 pages, clicking on some of the articles with the more interesting headings, such as, “Did God send the world Nostradamus?” and, “Quack Prophet.”  I looked for some articles that went into some detail about why to believe in Nostradamus, or why not to believe.  All that I read presented a case for not believing.

As I read these explanations why not to believe Nostradamus, I sensed people needing to influence others how foolish it would be to believe in Nostradamus.  The articles were rather detailed, presenting what appeared to be well thought out examinations of the facts others had presented as reason to believe.  Their bias made their reasoning against belief in Nostradamus very clear.  All articles presented the standard arguments that it is humanly impossible to know the future, meaning that Nostradamus must have used some of the common tricks used by charlatans.  Some articles were designed to save Christians from being misled by a false prophet. 

From those differing perspectives, quite a few addressed why quatrain I-35 was wrong.  In that quatrain, Nostradamus supposedly predicted the jousting accident of France’s king, Henry II.  Every one of those articles I read agreed that Nostradamus did not predict that event.  However, none of them explained that Nostradamus never claimed to have predicted that event; they all simply explained how the details of the verbiage did not fit the details of the historical event.

I was moved to post some comments on one of the articles, just to make it known that Nostradamus never made the claim that quatrain I-35 was about King Henry II dying at a joust.  That event was nothing more than a sad freak accident.  If a prophet had been warned of such a happening, it would have been accompanied by a divine command, “Go now and save your king.”  Just because Queen Catherine de Medici began telling the world, “Nostradamus is a true prophet because quatrain I-35 is about my husband Henry’s death,” the world has maintained her interpretation as truth.  Because Nostradamus did not go public and denounce that interpretation, there is no reason to show as fact that Nostradamus predicted that event.  Catherine de Medici started a rumor, which is hearsay and not admissible in a court of logical debate. 

In my comments on that one website, I pointed out that logic demands that one use as evidence some words that Nostradamus put in writing, where he officially claimed the meaning of his work, The Prophecies.  He did that in two letters that accompany the “complete” versions of that book.  He explained what the quatrains meant collectively, without making any statements like, “Quatrain I-01 is about ….”  Thus, it is illogical to argue against the meaning of any individual quatrains, because Nostradamus never explained individual quatrains. 

One can explain the meaning of one quatrain by supporting interpretative claims about the meaning of that text.  Factual evidence can be as simple as stating the definition of the words written, with that meaning guiding the interpretation.  Still, an interpretation is a guess and opinion until one states as evidence something akin to a statement like, “One can assume this interpretation because Nostradamus explained this generally in his letter ….”  No articles that I read did anything more than expose the foolishness of some idiot interpreting individual quatrains from The Prophecies, without knowing a damn thing about Nostradamus’ explanation of the meaning of his work.

What angered me most, while reading those Internet condemnations of Nostradamus, were the “evangelicals” who shot flurries of biblical arrows into the air as proof that Nostradamus was most certainly a “false prophet.”  While those articles showed some human being playing God by flexing his scripture memorization abilities, not one addressed what Nostradamus clearly stated in his letters, as to how he was able to prophesy.  They condemned him for being wrong about his predictions in individual quatrains (thus false prophecy) and they condemned him for being an “occultist,” because he used astrology to calculate his predictions. 

Nostradamus stated that his source was not astrology.  Perhaps his words about “astronomics” and “astrology” were not as clearly organized as were others that stated his source, but he never explained that he wrote The Prophecies because he used that art form.  To draw a conclusion that Nostradamus was a false prophet, because he used astrology, only proves the “false prophesying” going on is by the evangelical writers who falsely reject anyone who states he or she is a true Prophet of the LORD.  Blinded by the thrill of self-importance, an evangelical writing without facts, or without testing the facts that are present for falseness, is doing nothing but attempting to distract Christians from a real, true prophecy.  After all, the real “false prophets” are the ones who love to make money from people who read their false condemnations of others.  That is especially “easy money” when the condemned are dead and cannot sue them for slander.

For that reason alone, I went through the letter of preface and came up with the following statements made by Nostradamus, each prefacing his work.  To those who do not understand the word “preface,” it is a document usually written by the author of a book, which explains the scope, intention, and expectations of the book being prefaced.  With that known, read the words of Nostradamus and let me know what you think Nostradamus said about his source.  Tell me what you think is “occultist” about his statements. 

To preface this presentation, everything following is my translation, maintaining the exact word order as the original Old French (as published in the 1568 Lyon edition).  This literal translation is not the only translation possible; as many words have acceptable alternate translations (what one would call synonyms).  Each segment presented is shown in the order of appearance within the preface, although there is other text to be found between these statements.  The double return represents where that other text would be found.  (I recommend reading the whole preface, but read this first.)

One can benefit by realizing the systemic use of punctuation.  Rather than present these snippets from the preface as the continuous text they appear to be in the actual preface letter, I will use punctuation to separate the words into segments, creating a poetic style.  It also acts as a “speed bump,” design to slow reading down.  But, the line format makes the letter match the presentations made in the quatrains (4-line poems).  It will also be helpful to NOT read an ampersand as a mark simply indicating the word “and.”  An ampersand is a mark that makes the statement, “what follows next is important.”  Like punctuation, the ampersand symbol will be used to separate text into line format.

Any comments that I add, within the flow of text from the preface, will be bracketed.  Words found in parentheses are alternative translations.  The italicized words represent the Latin text of Nostradamus; and they correlate to Biblical text.  The Latin does not represent direct quotes from the Holy Bible, but are more like paraphrases.  Again, reading Nostradamus is best when reading one word at a time, letting images flow from each word, such that there are no “paraphrases,” per se, because that would imply standard sentence structure and syntax.  I will place certain key words in bold type, to show how words repeat.  Repeating words denote important themes.

The Old French text will not be presented in this posting, as that would make the eyes of typical blog readers weary and unable to maintain focus.  A separate post will be made public later, which will only be to show the Old French text.  It is my opinion that the 1568 Lyon edition is the edited and correct publication to use, en lieu of an actual manuscript.

From the Preface to The Prophecies:

 

& that the whole is royal

& guided by the power of God invaluable,

 

Considering also the maxim of the true Savior:

Be unwilling holy to give dogs,

not to send all pearls before swine,

lest trampled under foot

& to turn around to break apart you.

 

to the Prophecies:

Okay.  I saw a theme there, one which said, “God is the author of The Prophecies, and all I did was hold the pen on paper.”  Did anyone else see the same?  Guess what?  If you want to know what the quatrains say, and if you want to know how to read the quatrains so you will see what they say, read the preface and the explanation letter to Henry II.  It is all there.

Oh, by the way.  Nostradamus makes sure that if you miss the God element of the preface, he repeated it several times in his explanation letter.

Be Careful What Tax You Vote For

File this one under the “Lest they forget” category.

I want to make a point about politicians.  If they tell you it is raining, then check to see if he, she, or it is pissing on your shoes.  They are liars, but they lie with an agenda.  They want everyone to believe they are there for them; but they are there simply as point men for the money behind the power.  If they tell you anything, believe the opposite.

I have no idea what anyone else in theUnited States makes yearly.  So, let me pull a nice round figure out of the air.  Say that an average American worker makes $60,000 a year.  That average American then has a family of four to support, which is impossible without his wife (average Americans still marry) having some kind of regular job also.  Say her job earns her a salary of $40,000 a year.  So, in round numbers, let’s just say an average American family makes $100,000 a year.

That family is by no means living “high on the hog.”  It is by no means impoverished.  They pay for gas and insurance, along with a mortgage and two car payments every month, cell phone bills for all, etc.  They have no savings to speak of, other than their retirement accounts (IRAs), and they manage to live beyond their means, so they maintain a sizeable credit card debt every month.  So, these average people get angry when some politician says, “I am a millionaire (or billionaire) and I pay less taxes than my secretary, who makes $100,000 a year.” 

That is horse pucky, because a millionaire pays more money in taxes, even though the percentages can make it seem like the rich get bigger tax breaks.  The millionaire pays more than does the average American, and the billionaire pays more than does a millionaire.  Regardless of the percentages, the total taxes paid has more digits in the number of the amount owed, before all deductions lessen that total.  None of that has anything to do with money overpaid to the government, which the IRS will gladly send back (a “refund”).

Now think real hard about just how easy it is to get something passed by our congress.  As hard as it is for them to agree on something and pass it, it is just as hard to get them to agree on unpassing something already passed.  So, consider what would happen if some kind of law was passed to “tax the rich.”   That law (I think they call it the Buffett Law) would make it so that those lucky millionaires (and billionaires) have a flat – no getting around it – 30% tax rate.  That would mean that anyone who earns $1,000,000 a year (or more) would pay a whopping $300,000 a year in taxes (or more?). 

The average American makes so much less than a million dollars a year that he or she can be fooled into saying, “I want that law passed.”  However, one has to always remeber to be alert to politicians and their lies. 

Numbers are especially easy to lie about, because numbers often fool people.  When the numbers are related to economic growth and development, one need to have some examples from history to verify the numbers.  History is a great teacher of how economic trends repeat and recycle.

It has been a long time since the Great Depression, such that a relative few people can personally recall those times.  Only the really old people lived through it, but they were just children then.  Children see bad things, but they do not have a full understanding of the mental pressures that parents with children have, trying to suppport a family during hard times.  For the most part, children simply remember seeing pain and suffering, which causes them pain and suffering.  It hurts to see a mother depressed, or to sense a father being near suicidal over things beyond his control,.  All of that shows through, even though parents try to hide those woes from their children as much as possible.  The Great Depression caused a lot of pain and suffering in the children of the late 1920s, into the mid-1930′s,  which is still deeply remembered by some today.

A lot of the financial collapse that became the Great Depression came from debt that nations had built up.  A nation’s debt gets heaped upon its citizens.  In the early 1920′s, other nations demanded debts owed to them be repaid, because money suddenly got very tight.  Germany had its debt increased significantly, because of war reparations deemed it owed to the winners of World War I (France and Britain, mostly), for the ravages it caused in that war.  The debt crisis got so bad that Germany had (for the only time in its history) a regularly printed bill of money that was for five hundred million Reichs Marks. 

That was due to out of control inflation (hyperinflation), which meant then that a One Hundred Million Reichs Mark note was worth 7.82 “Gold Marks.”  Those were based on an international gold standard, unlike the Reichs Mark.   One “Gold Mark” was worth 12.8 million Reichs Marks.  

In December 1922, hyperinflation meant 8,000 Marks were equal to one U.S. Dollar.  Not long before (earlier in 1922), the ratio was a mere 322:1, which began to spiral wildly due to basic high inflation.  Basic inflation is when the debt heaped upon the citizens comes due, with little more than promise to pay being the state of the savings account.  Hyperinflation is when people get real nasty about debts being repaid [remember Greece recently?].  Wikipedia says that things got so bad in 1923 Germany that  a 100-million Reichs Mark note would equate to a piece of paper said to be worth $8 trillion U.S. 

If the U.S. economy was to collapse, due to its mounting debt, it could cause a similar turn of events.  With a deflated dollar equally as out of control as was Germany’s, a measly $100,000 could be like little more than a thousand bucks. 

If one thinks $4 per gallon gasoline is bad, imagine it being $400 a gallon.  That could be possible, simply because America prints money that is based on a “paper system,” and about as valuable as is Confederate money.  The German Mark became so useless in 1923 that some people used those pieces of paper as wallpaper.  This means terrible times cause terribly unforeseen happenings.

Now, as warm and friendly as politicians seem to be at times, suppose they all got together and passed a flat 30% fixed tax on those mean ole “one-percenters,” the few who have all the money now.  Suppose they make it a fixed law that cannot be repealed easily.  Suppose they make it so bad politicians in the future can never campaign on a promise to get that law thrown out.  Suppose they make it so EVERYONE who makes $1,000,000 a year (or more) pays out the ass, as a legal punishment for being “rich,” with no exceptions. 

Then, after that law is passed, suppose another Great Depression were to hit the United States.  Suppose that all the debt the United States has, and all of the printed money that has nothing backing it (nothing other than the promise of America owning 310-million slaves, called American citizens, that is) collapses on the world market.  Suppose all nations of the world changed to some other form of money as its monetary standard (like the yuan, in China).  Suppose that change was due to the United States printing and flooding the markets with unbacked paper, called dollars.  Suppose that the inflation rate in theUnited States caused the need for them to print $1,000,000 bills, because $1,000,000 was about like $10,000 (100 times inflation).  Suppose the average American’s income jumped from $100,000 to around $10,000,000,000 a year, due to emergency “cost of living increases,” designed to allow those working to keep up with inflation [devaluation].  Suppose that 100 times inflation meant anyone making on $10,000 a year in 2012 (a level that makes one truly impoverished) would then be begging for $1,000,000 in hand-outs, just to stay alive.  That would mean that EVERYONE making the equivalent of $10,000 now, in 2012, would be hit by the flat tax rate of 30% in the future, should the dollar collapse.  The 99% of the people would still be nowhere near “rich,” but 99% of the people would suffer from the pain of a tax they called for, technically classified as “rich” by the “Buffet” $1,000,000 law.  

For those who might be wondering, “What does this have to do with Nostradamus?”, let me toss this in for consideration.  In the quatrain numbered VIII-28, a clear main theme statement addresses a movement from a Gold standard, to a Silver standard.  The United States made this shift during World War II, through actions taken during the FDR Administration and Congress.  Line four of that quatrain can say (per Erika Cheetham), “All scripts and bonds will be wiped out.”

This failue has not happened since America began printing “Silver Certificates,” which ceased during the Kennedy Administration.  We now see “Federal Reserve Note” printed on our money, when America has no reserves of wealth.  It only has the promise of wealth. 

Quatrain I-53 ends with the statement (again quoting Cheetham), “When a new source of gold and silver is found.”  I see this as translating to state, “When from gold, to silver found rare mined.”  That is a statement about the mining of “new” metals, such as uranium and plutonium.  Those, of course, are at the root of the issues the West has with nations like Iran and North Korea, among others, seeking to obtain “the bomb.”  Power has become the new currency standard. 

In quatrain IV-30, Nostradamus wrote in line three how the economy will drop so far that it will be (again quoting Cheetham), “Put so low that one will sew little gold.”  I see that as translating to state, “And so low set that little gold one will sew on.”  This is a statement of a devaluation of money, because it is not based on metal standards.  The word “that,” from “so low that,” refers to the statement leading to “Put so low.”  That comes at the end of line two and says, “declined ones of means.”  People will be so “lessened” according to their “means that they will significantly be “Put so low.”  That statement of economic collapse lead to line four predicting “That [little gold one will sew on] after [will be followed by] famine pestilence discovered it secret (or inward).”  This is a statement of the result people will face from nuclear fallout, which will initiate famine [from crop failures] and cause inner biological breakdowns [from general radiation and consuming polluted foods and drinks].  Just as the Great Depression led to World War II, war can be seen as connected to economic collapse.

Finally, in quatrain VII-25 Nostradamus wrote (again Cheetham), “Through long war all the army exhausted,” which then leads to line two stating (my translation), “That [long war and an exhausted army] for soldiers not will be finding money.”  This says the war will begin during an economic decline, where money will be least concern for an exhausted soldier.  Good food, water, and rest is what exhausted troops need most.  Line three then states (Cheetham once more), “Instead of gold or silver, they will come to coin leather.” 

Besides leather being a by-product that can be easily found coming from dead cattle [a sign of pestilence], this makes me remember the adage, “Don’t take any wooden nickles.”  That was a warning against taking vouchers instead of cold, hard cash.  Still, payment acts like a promissory note, promising something of value in the future, for something paid today. 

Line four then concludes (my translation), “French brass, token crescent of moon.”  That says Islamists will occupy France, and they make brass coins to pay their soldiers.  Those coins will have a crescent moon stamped into each one.  All of this economic hardship is painted into a theme of warfare and misery, with life going on despite a collapsed world economy.  Survival becomes the name of the game, which makes a promise of something useless, but somehow motivating to try to live one more day.

The moral of the story Nostradamus tells is another Great Depression will occur, just before, at the same time, or just after another Great War begins.  The thought of taxing the rich as being some cure all for a poor economy should be seen as a danger sign.  For a politician to say he has all (or any) of the answers, one has to question how history shows politicians to be liars, not truth tellers.  To hear one say, “If we set the tax at 30% for anyone making $1,000,000 a year (or higher) we can solve all our economic problems,” one needs to be able to discern what that politician really means is, “Boy, do we have a plan for all of you who want to make a million bucks.  Try our plan that will make a million bucks mean nothing.  Meanwhile, I will be underground dining on pheasant, drinking fine wine, with all my billionaire buddies, while you slaves suffer the consequences of our actions.”

I remember when the soap opera that was the O.J. Simpson trial was on television every afternoon.  I remember Judge Ito saying time and again, “There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “Be careful what you wish for.”  I think it is time we started a new American proverb that says, “Be careful who and what you vote for.”  The reason is the same both ways … “You just might get your wish.”

The Planetary Rulerships Model of Astrology

All you non-astrologers bear with me.  I am about to speak in a “foreign language,” but I will try to keep everyone up to speed.  That language is the one astrologers speak, so if you do not know astrology you will not know what I am talking about … at first.  I understand most people do not speak astrology, so I will explain just enough to get you through to the end, without attempting to teach anyone astrology unwillingly.

Less than a year before I suddenly began to understand the meaning of The Prophecies, I had a sudden revelation that pertained to the meaning of the traditional astrological association of planets to the twelve signs of the zodiac.  Traditional astrology reflects the general constants of the art that have lasted thousands of years, and are the foundation for the astrology we know today.  In that standard there has always been the Sun, the Moon, and the five visible planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn), for a total of seven orbs.  I will not explain this deeply, but the twelve signs are assigned to the seven orbs, in a way that has the Sun and Moon rule one sign each, with each of the five planets ruling two signs each.  In that manner, seven divides into twelve perfectly (1+1+(5×2) = 12).

I began to question why the planets were each assigned two signs and the luminaries (Sun & Moon) only one each.  I saw that as a reasonable question, since after thousands of years of that “traditional” alignment, the invention of the telescope made it possible to discover new planets.  The planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto had to be placed somewhere (I imagine someone had that original thought), so they “displaced” three of the visible planets.  The three modern discoveries were allowed to rule one of the signs previously assigned to each Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.  I learned that new rulerships alignment as a newbie astrologer (late 70’s) and had never thought anything about it afterwards.  That was, until I had my epiphany about traditional planetary rulerships.

I had found that most young astrologers, ones new to learning astrology, did not have a clue about the traditional rulerships of the displaced planets.  For instance, Jupiter ruled the signs of Sagittarius and Pisces for thousands of years, but after someone decided Neptune should rule Pisces, people must have stopped teaching the newbies that Jupiter AND Neptune rule Pisces.  Most of the astrologers I talked to in 2001 thought Neptune ruled Pisces, not knowing anything about Jupiter having been its ruler originally.  While a good number still knew that Mars was the traditional ruler of Scorpio, along with Pluto the new ruler after its discovery, few realized that Saturn had lost its rule over Aquarius to Uranus.  It seemed tradition was being lost. 

For some unexplained reason (well, I had some free time on my hands), I wanted to know why that system was set up the way it was originally set up.  What was the origin of those traditional assignments?  Who was it that deemed modern planets should displace the traditional rulers?  Inquiring minds want to know.

All I could find explaining the traditional rulership model was Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos. That is the quintessential book on astrology, from which Western astrology has sprung.  Still, the language of Claudius Ptolemy (2nd century – c. 90 AD – c. 168 AD) is difficult to follow, and he really did not go into great detail explaining why something was the way it was.  He talked of such things as wet and dry and hot and cold (the four climates of planets), much of which is largely ignored by modern astrologers (post-1970).  While Ptolemy addressed the What of rulership, he did not address the Why.  That meant everything about the old ways of astrology fell under the, “Just learn this and don’t ask why” model.  I still wanted to know why.

I am not smart enough to solve Nostradamus by myself, since I have so many shortcomings that so-called experts could easily scoff at them and write me off without any serious consideration (which several have done).  I am also not smart enough to figure out the whys of astrology.  As a professional level astrologer (I have been paid to tell someone what their chart meant), I have learned the basic rules and simply followed them.  I had never felt the motivation to write about the meaning of astrology, although twinges of urge to write were ever-present.  I certainly never felt I had any worthwhile, specialized tidbit of astrological study to explain to someone, because all I knew I learned from what someone else wrote. 

In my astrologer life, I have experienced the value of astrology.  I went to a university to learn psychology because that “science” and the art of astrology require knowing techniques in one-on-one analysis.  The funny thing is no one would ever go to a psychologist and sit on the sofa and say, “I filled out the form in the waiting area (name, date of birth, place of birth), so tell me what is wrong with me.”  They do that to astrologers all the time, and astrologers act like it is their responsibility to put on some kind of magic show to impress the “patient.”

I must admit that I see astrology as something that can be harmful if misused.  This, to me, means it should only be practiced in environments where it is safe.  You need to have a relationship with a client, even if it is purely business.  The client is the key to any successful readings being done.  Because of this need for a relationship, I have always felt uneasy about charging people money for my astrological services; although I have often used a barter system, trading my services for those offered by a client.  Because it all boils down to astrological counseling is nothing more than giving advise, advice is only good if someone pays to hear it.  Otherwise, it is perceived as worthless.  Free makes people wary and think something free should be ignored. 

I do not know of a more important subject than The Prophecies of Nostradamus.  This is because I know it is a true prophecy of God, through a prophet.  That makes it as important as the many elements of the Holy Bible, because it says the same information, from the same source, only differently worded.  The Holy Bible and The Prophecies both give good advice, but that only goes as far as one knowing what to do with good advice goes.  Nostradamus is thus like astrology, in the sense that the majority of the people in the free world avoid anything stating his name and anything stating astrology, for reasons that can be summed up as fear-based.  

I have been able to stay somewhat distanced from astrology, to the point it is not a regular practice of mine these days.  It hasn’t been for over a decade.  I know it well enough that it is like riding a bike.  It does not matter how long I don’t use it, it comes back to me quickly.  I stay at a distance from astrology groups because of the madness that surrounds the people running them, who are “head-over-heels-in-love” with astrology.  I see those group leaders as parallel to the Laputan Grand Academy members, from Gulliver’s Travels, who put in way too much time detailing minutia, for minimal result, and often getting things totally wrong. People in astrology groups (the ones I have been a member of) get too involved with it.  If they know that Ptolemy wrote that astrology can helpful if known, but it should not become an obsession, they have ignored that warning.

My intellectual pursuit of astrology has found it to be like a road map, which is best read before going to some place to which you don’t know how to get.  Even then, once you map a course, you have to put the map down to get there.  My limited desire to play astrologer is based on knowing I have enough of a grasp of astrology to be dangerous.  The same can be said of driving a vehicle.  You can never take anything for granted. 

All this history means that I never decided to come up with an AGENDA to solve the WHY of Traditional Planetary Rulerships.  It just happened.  The same can be said of my devotion to Nostradamus, which would begin several months later.  Nothing was planned to turn out the way things have. 

Just as with what I saw in Nostradamus, I was amazed by what I saw explaining the perfection of the traditional rulership model of astrology.  When one sees that as perfect, one is left with the realization that Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto represent space debris, and little more.  None of the symbolisms associated to them has any close relationship to the mundane lives of individual creatures on Earth.  By that, I mean no one would ever say, “Oh my!  I might want to stay home today because Neptune is about to square my Mercury.” 

The outer orbs are what astrologers refer to as Trans-Personal or Generational, meaning large groups of people are experiencing the same symbolic life evolutions, rather than them reflecting a unique personal experience on the individual level.  As such in they reflect grand changes in social direction, which mirror adjustments everyone must make collectively.  That relates to them not being visible to the naked eye (one of the physical senses), meaning they are invisible in a human life.  Sure, they have a place, but that place has nothing to do with the places traditionally ruled by the visible orbs.

The outer planets do not meet any expectations that would have them reflect on any individual human life, on a day-to-day or even year-to-year basis.  They move too slowly to symbolize the speed of life.  Uranus makes one revolution through the zodiac every 84 years, or the current life span of human beings.  Not too long ago, life used to be much shorter, on the average. Neptune takes almost 165 years to make one revolution, with Pluto taking 248.5 years.  Pluto is “fast-tracking” when it moves 3 degrees a year (counting forward movements and backward retreats), but its rate of motion changes from time to time, due to its highly elliptical orbit. 

All this means none of those distant planets (or asteroid, in Pluto’s case now) are worthy of taking a position on the Traditional Planetary Rulerships chart.  This includes all of the other space dust in our Solar System, much of which has been named for goddesses (asteroids, planetoids, moons, and invisible “what-if” orbs).  Most of those are only important in the minds of the women who are the pervasive organizers, teachers, and moneymakers keeping astrology on the population’s consciousness.  Even though there are good reasons for placing focus on everything in the Solar System, and good reasons to have people who specialize in all of those minute elementary pieces, it is like being a podiatrist, versus being a general practitioner. 

There is plenty of reason to have people specialize in foot doctoring, but most people have no need to know any more than the basics of a healthy lifestyle, which includes a body with feet in good working order.  Most insurance companies require a doc-in-a-box to recommend someone see a specialist.  Specialists tend to charge more for their services.  When that is seen as a parallel to all the capitalist astrologers in the world, it is important to understand the basic value of advice. 

Astrologers do not need to give the impression that Chiron (a planetoid), to use just one example, is more important than it is.  Sure, Chiron has value and it can be helpful to explore that value as part of the whole; but that value has been created well after its discovery, way back in 1977.  It is only of specialized interest.  The same can be said for Uranus (1781), Neptune (1846), and Pluto (1930).

The reason that I write this now, today, is I have begun writing about the WHY of Traditional Planetary Rulership.  I came up with a slide presentation and a lecture that I presented to an astrological group in Houston,TX, back in late 2000 or early 2001.  Unfortunately, I lost that over the years (hurricanes do a lot of damage).  My focus on Nostradamus since then has been much more important to me, such that trying to return to an astrology topic and take time to re-word all that meaning has seemed like a waste, before now.  Now, after a decade of crying “Wolf,” there is little more I can do to warn people of the need to see for themselves what a true prophecy says about where the world is going (hint: to hell). 

So, why not write about astrology.  Maybe the pagans will listen to that?  I feel there is not enough time to change the course we have set.  Since the map provided by Nostradamus appears to be too complicated to read, maybe it is time for a last minute astrology map.

Still, in my free flow of insights that come to me while writing about things I am too stupid to figure out on my own, I had this thought come to me.  The times of The Prophecies are reflected in the times of new planet discoveries.  The telescope allowed us to find Uranus,Neptune, and Pluto, and astrology affixed symbolic meaning to them, which reflected their times of discovery.  That matches the themes and stories Nostradamus wrote.

Those planets reflect the times stretching from the 18th century to the 20th century.  On the most broad stroke summary that parallels the theme of Nostradamus, people began dethroning the rules of nations en masse during the “Age of Reason,” which began in the 18th century.  That was roughly when astrologers began thinking about displacing planetary rulers too, although Uranus was still called Herschel well into the 19th century.  However, the astrological associations modern astrologers have since assigned to those new planets further symbolize the story contained in Nostradamus’ work. 

That is Revolution (a keyword for Uranus), Confusion (a keyword for Neptune), and Death (a keyword for Pluto), with Pluto being the Roman name for the Greek god Hades.  Both Pluto and Hades are known as the ruler of the underworld.  We all know that by the common name, Hell, which means the discovery of Pluto links the theme of The Prophecies to that of The Revelation of John, and all the stuff found in the Holy Bible about the End Times. 

That will apply to every human being (trans-personal).  All will see the Change (Uranus) from royal rulers to elected commoners as commonplace, desirable, and necessary.  The Industrial Revolution (Uranus given rulership over Aquarius) would pave the path to the Technology (Uranus given rulership over Aquarius) that has taken humanity from being self-sufficient to being pitifully self-inept.  All have found themselves led to experiment with the new discoveries of chemicals Hidden within plants (Neptune), more than the traditional processes of turning grain to beer and grapes to wine.  The spread of coffee, cocoa, tea, hemp, opium, and other natural plants of mind-altering properties led to searches for more Addictive (Neptune) additives.  Eventually, chemists began creating artificial elixirs that imitated natural medicines.  All of which would need to be ruled by the agents of government.  

All will find how the human mind will be unable to contend with all the Change (Uranus), once all have been enslaved by the Numbing (Neptune) effects those additives and technical advances will have had on the breakdown of the human body, especially the Nervous System (Uranus) and the Immune System (Neptune).  The value of religion has been so Clouded (Neptune) even the priests and ministers find it difficult to judge right from wrong, and good from evil.  Meanwhile, people with big brains have been tasked to break the codes of DNA and to split the atoms of Uranium (element of the times of Uranus) and Plutonium (element of the times of Pluto).  Those Scientists (an impersonal Uranus as ruler of Aquarius) are the Slaves (an impersonal Neptune as ruler of Pisces) sent to find new Power (an impersonal Pluto as ruler of Scorpio) that will elevate their masters higher, while further placing all humanity under the yoke.  The sacrifice of souls comes out of fear of those with weapons so powerful and so numerous they could eliminate the entire species. 

Those three planets, as seen by the symbolisms of astrology, sum up the whole of what Nostradamus warned human beings to beware.  In these modern times, there is less and less faith in God (Jupiter ruling Pisces, being displaced by Neptune).  Too many people’s lives are dependent on the Illusion (Neptune) of Freedom (Uranus).  Individuals like to think they have the Power (Pluto) to scale the walls of ordinary life’s Imprisonment (Neptune) and Fantasize(Neptune) of the promise land of material wealth (not Heaven).

I just wanted to let this out now.  I am taking my time writing about the Why of Traditional Planetary Rulerships.  In case I don’t finish in time, I wanted everyone to have a chance to see how modern discoveries are a reflection of why the world is going to Hell in a hand basket.

Toulouse Gunman is Europe’s Wake Up Call

In the news the past few weeks was an ongoing situation in France.  A gunman had methodically and regularly shot and killed innocent people.  He would show up on a motorcycle (something very commonly driven in France), wearing a face-covering helmet, and then begin shooting.  He did this every four days for two weeks, and the French police had a suspect they surrounded before he could kill again on schedule.  He died last Thursday (March 22, 2012), falling out of a window.  Here is one news report: Police: Islamic gunman in French standoff dead after jumping from window.

Just the other day, after one French authority stated, “”Lone wolves are formidable adversaries,” the home the gunman lived in was searched.  It was found to have a rather advanced cache of weapons.  Before the gunman was cornered, and before it was publically announced that he was Muslim, I heard one of the cable ”news” talking heads theorize the opinion that the gunman might be similar to the crazy Norway gunman, who killed over 85 innocent people in July 2011.  That gunman had written a manifesto that stated his actions were in response to the Islamic problem that he saw escalating in Europe and Scandinavia.  However, after the French announced their gunman was probably a Muslim, his religious beliefs shed more light on several elements that make him different from the Norway gunman.

First, France is (or has been) an ally of America, particularly in the War on Terror, which is against al-Qaeda.  France has sent troops to be stationed in Middle Eastern war zones, albeit mainly for show.  The murder of French military personnel (paratroopers) is a statement about France being targeted by Islamic organizations, who use individuals to create shock value as part of their overall plan.  Osama bin Laden released a public threat to France, roughly 5 months before he was “killed” (here is the report of that threat January 22, 2011). 

Second, the cold-blooded murder of a Jewish father and rabbi, but more importantly two Jewish children, is clearly a statement about Islam being at war against Jews, because of their occupation of Palestine.  Many Muslims have made that threat publically (“death to Israel”), with the last being Iranian President Ahmadinejad (his latest public words were published on July 20, 2011). 

Third, the cache of weapons found in the gunman’s home, which included a Russian assault rifle and a Uzi machine pistol, is a sign that the ever-popular “one lone gunman” theory does not hold water (does it ever? Read the article in the link, which raises some important questions: Chicago Tribune).  As strong as French law is preventing arms sales, one would think that the gunman would know he could not use more than a couple of handguns, as many ammunition clips as could be easily carried, a Bell helmet, and a motorcycle.  

So, beyond somehow being able to amass highly controlled weapons, why would he not simply ask a friend to hang onto the arsenal “while I go out on a bike ride for an hour or so”?  If they are hard to get, why just let them be confiscated?

All of those elements are significant as they fit what Nostradamus prophesied in The Prophecies. As evidence of this threat to France, I wrote the book The $25-Million Answer: How Nostradamus Told Where to Look.  He told where to look for Osama bin Laden, in case you never read the book.  That book began as a simple search for one repeated term found in The Prophecies, which was basically the French word for “mountain” (various spellings).  That word most frequently connected directly to the proper name “Pyrenees” (various spellings), which are the mountains that create the border between France and Spain. 

The story I found in the “mountain” quatrains told of a “mountain man” who would seek asylum in the Pyrenees (bin Laden).  He would go there for the purpose of building a secretly trained army, one which would be used to assist in a naval invasion (another part of an overall secret plan) of Mediterranean Europe (Italy, France, andSpain).  I wrote that book between November 2011 and February 2011, publishing it in March 2011.

It is important to realize that a secret army would need to have many small sites to store weapons, like homes and apartments held by your Muslim men.  What else would one expect?  That means finding a valuable cache in one Muslim’s home is not the exception, but the rule.  I imagine the French police would prefer the extremists build one large armory and put out signs that say, “Danger: Islamic Terrorist Armory, Trespassers Will Be Shot.”  Unfortunately, that will never be the case, which makes the story of the arsenal found in Toulouse ,France important.

Toulouse is in the southwestern of France, in the regions that mesh together known as Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrenees.  It was once the capitol of the historic province known as Languedoc, but it is now the capitol of the Midi-Pyrenees region.  The Midi-Pyrenees region has thePyrenees Mountains as its southern border.  Notice the overlap in these diagrams.

 

 

Midi-Pyrenees Region  (from Wikipedia)                 Historic Languedoc Region

 
 

 

Nostradamus specifically lists Toulouse, France in his quatrains.  He lists that place ten times, which is a significant number.  He also lists other places in the Langudoc region, as well as the Aquitain region (meshing with Toulouse to the west).  Southwest France will be the site of some major battles, according to Nostradamus.

Like the preponderance of appearances of “mountains” (various spellings), the preponderance of the appearances of “Toulouse” (various spellings) needs to be noted, especially when important events occur there (as happened last week).  When one sees a word that is neither an article (a, an, or the) or preposition (of, by, for, with, to, in, etc.), a significant number of appearances makes those quatrains stand up and link together to tell a story.  Such a story is usually stretched over a period of years, with many linking events, and thus not a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am clear prediction of one event to look for.  In my book, one sees how the decade Osama bin Laden spent in hiding was not written into only one quatrain.  This means the story that focuses on Toulouse is not simply about one “lone wolf gunman” being found to have a cache of weapons stashed away there.  It means the cache fits into the long-term story told. 

In reference to Toulouse, France, Wikipedia states that it has, “1,202,889 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008, [making] the Toulouse metropolitan area the fourth-largest in France, after Paris (12.1 million), Lyon (2.1 million), and Marseille (1.7 million).”  Marseille is another city mentioned a number of times, and it is about 200 miles east of Toulouse.  Toulouse is only 50 miles (roughly) north of the border the Pyrenees range forms.  The Midi-Pyrenees region is overall very sparsely populated; meaning once one is outside the major population areas, like Toulouse, one is able to move about with very little notice.  This makes it a very convenient major city in southern France, from which supplies and staples can easily be obtained, enough to sustain an army of say 10,000 Islamic extremists.

I have written quite thoroughly in The $25-Million Answer how there is local support for those “visitors” who seek to take down a major European power, one perceived as suppressing the voices of locals seeking autonomy and freedom.  It is important to read my book as it addresses the Basque and French Catalonians histories more deeply.  It makes it possible to see how people need to stop getting on their knees and praying to the god Obama, thanking him for having saved the world by killing Osama bin Laden.  That event might just be some poor body double tossed into the Indian Ocean, and not who the press said it was.  I offer my book through my website for only $10, plus shipping costs; but it is available through major Internet booksellers, such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.  How much is being forearmed worth? Still, when I wrote that book, I did not know there would be this tidbit of news coming from Toulouse.

One quatrain that I see now, one of the ten total with “Toulouse” stated (VIII-30), has the main theme line say, “Dedans Tholoze non loing de Belvezer,” which literally states, “Within Toulouse not long from Belvezer”.  Belvezer is another place in France, also in the Midi-Pyrenees region, northwest of Toulouse.  Line two then states, “Faisant un puys loing, palais despectacle,” which literally translates to say, “Packing (or Bundling) one mountains (or hills/or subsequently) far off, palate (or palace) disdained (or of spectacle).”  Line three than states, “Tresor trouvé un chacun ira vexer,” which literally translates to say, “Treasure found one every man will go to torment,”.  Line four then states, “Et en deux locs tout & pres del vasacle.”  This literally translates to say, “Both upon two places all & near to the (unknown word, but following the Spanish combo article-preposition “del,” the word “Vasco” means “Basque,” making “vasacle” possibly reflecting that area of the Pyrenees).”

When one focuses only on the capitalized words of this quatrains (capitalization means greater importance), the thread leads from “Within” to “Toulouse,” and from that to “Belvezer.”  That makes the main theme become a central focus on the Midi-Pyrenees region. 

Line two is then focused on the present participle of the verb “to pack,” or “to bundle,” which places importance on one “Packing” to go to Toulouse (the gunman’s body is to be sent to his native Algeria). 

Line three is then centrally focused on a “Treasure,” which can be seen as supportive to the main theme line (line 1), such that the “Treasure” is found in southern France. 

Line four than places its central focus on the word “Et,” which is the conjunction “And,” but also is used to indicate “Both.”  As the supporting line to the secondary theme statement (line 2), “Both” seems to indicate the assistance of someone other than the “lone wolf” scenario would allow.  If the word “vasacle” is a variation of the word Basque, as one of Basque Country (in Spain, seeking independence and autonomy), then “Packing” would indicate a first relocation to the Pyrenees, and then a relocation to Toulouse.  It could make Belvezer a place to be aware of.

This fits the model of a Islamic extremist soldier, one who has been shipped around the world “Packing” the gear of the military (a cache of weapons).  If the word “vasacle” is seen as a variation of “vesicle” (geologically a hollow place formed in lava, and thus having the potential to represent a “cave”), then this fits the model of The $25-Million Answer.

While this quatrain does not have to represent one mad gunman that is now deceased, that lone wolf lunatic can act as a sign of a blister (vesicle), in all its metaphorical ways.  He can be seen as the tip of an iceberg.  It is time to wake up and smell the danger, as it is all about.  Because it is happening in France does not mean it is safe in Great Britain or the United States.  While storming thePyreneesis not the answer to the problem, it is time to take The Prophecies as a serious warning to take to heart.

Fluency for Dreamers and Realists

 

I watched an episode of Modern Family on television last night.  It was a repeat of the Thanksgiving show.  The main theme was about dreamers versus Pritchetts (the family name, all who have characteristic traits as dream squashers). Here’s part of the script:

 

Cameron (Cam): “There are dreamers and there are realists in this world.
You’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists but… more often than not, the opposite is true.
You see the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun.
And the realists… well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground.”

 

Camwas moved to give this analogy because he had told a true story (yet a boring one) that the non-dreamers had all heard before (several times obviously).  Some had written the story off as having been made up, too impossible to believe (Maybe a little embellishment? No?). Cam said his story was true; and, in the end, everyone went out to prove it true.

 

Ah, the perfect world of TV sitcoms.

 

Alas, they did not write that script because they knew I was dreaming of telling the whole world the true (yet boring) story of Nostradamus and The Prophecies. Hey everybody, let’s go down to the football field and see how I am not making all this up! It really is something you can see for yourself, even if it does take a few missed attempts before we sail that proverbial pumpkin over 120 yards in the air. If the disbelievers see just how possible it is, and they lend a hand, then we can all see the truth!

 

Oh yeah, I remember now. I am a cast member of a real modern family of disbelieving human beings, and not a figment of some Hollywood scriptwriter’s imagination. Sorry.  I got carried away.

 

Anyway, the part of that episode that comes to mind now, and the reason I write today, was when Ed O’Neil’s father character, Jay, told his stepson, Manny, the Thanksgiving centerpiece Manny made was, “not your best work. It’s a swing and a miss.” Sofia Vergara’s character, Gloria (Manny’s mother), had told Manny his work was “great,” building up his confidence to try anything, rather than tell him the truth and potentially have him never try anything again. The realist, Jay, felt it was an important life lesson required to set Manny straight, so he “would know what he’s good at, and what he’s not good at.”  With that help, Manny could then focus on utilizing his assets and not his liabilities.

 

In short, Jay was not trying to destroy Manny’s dreams.  He was trying to teach him how to avoid potential embarrassments in planning future dreams.  While we all learn from our mistakes, the fewer mistakes life teaches us the happier life will be.

 

That part stuck with me after watching it because I recently acted like Jay. I told someone whom I did not know, someone who had a dream of solving Nostradamus, that he was wrong.  He had a theory about anagrams with special made-up rules.  His theory was a swing and a miss. It is not his best work.

 

I told him so in an email, one he received out of the blue.  I did not tell him that out of malice. I was simply trying to help him see how embarrassing his opinion was. It was embarrassing because he was not taking a logical (a realist) approach to his dream.  I explained how the logic made it easy for disbelievers to keep on disbelieving.  Using logic can actually make disbelievers see reason to believe. 

 

The man turned out to be from Quebec,Canada. From the tone of his response, I can presume that means he believes Quebec is a colony of France, and not in any way under the jurisdiction of the British Crown’s colony of Canada. I imagine his attitude reflected the hatred between the French and English, showing it to be still alive and thriving in Quebec. Perhaps that hatred is best demonstrated by all the people in Quebec speaking French when English speaking tourist come to town. I have experienced a similar French attitude towards others not speaking French before.  It seems to be an inside joke for Frenchies to pretend they do not know English, until one who speaks English attempts to speak French first.  It seems to anger the French to be expected to be bilingual, in particular when English is the second language in use. 

 

Sarcasm can be how some French-speaking natives belittle people who do not speak French. They can call them names in French, then laugh, knowing the person they just offended does not know they were just offended. It represents the best of both worlds to them, because they feel a sense of victory from conflict, and yet they do not get their French asses kicked in return.  Sadly, that has historically happened to France when it has tried making direct confrontations, dating back to the 1600s.  Losing in direct confrontation to Great Britainis why Quebec is a part of British Canada today.

 

That attitude is reminiscent of the scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where the French, from the safety of their high castle walls, shout insults down at King Arthur and his sidekick, Sir Robin.

 

French sentry: “I fart in your general direction. Your father smelt of elderberries and you mother wears army boots.”

 

That aside, I sent an email to this man explaining the logic of his premise was obviously missing. His reply was arrogant and led to him stating, (paraphrasing) “because I had not sent him an email in French, thereby displaying my level of fluency in French for him to assess, that meant that I was incapable of telling him anything about the meaning of Nostradamus.” You see, Nostradamus was French, and he wrote in French words (mostly).

 

I almost replied that logic says, “If the French have not convinced the world why to believe their conclusions about what Nostradamus meant, having now over 456 years of past history as proof of that failure, then being fluent in French cannot be considered even remotely as the foremost qualification to assess.” Since I did not know the man, I just let him feel he had won the argument. His future embarrassment will be his to earn and feel special about. Your work is “great.”

 

In the final analysis, he did have a point, relative to his talent being his French fluency. That is a talent several million French-speaking Quebecians also possess.  That talent can help those who do not speak French.  For those who can speak the language of prophecy (i.e. Nostradamus), but who may not be fluent in the French language, a French teacher can assist them, playing a valuable role. However, a fluency in French only goes as far as correcting those who may be led down rabbit holes, chasing after mistranslations.

 

We all have special talents.  All talents can be utilized best through working together, as a team. Working against one another keeps progress stalled.  An idea about anagrams may be good to consider, if it follows standard rules of solving anagrams (not special rules).  An idea about The Prophecies being written in a special language, one in the tongue of God (not restricted to French syntax), can still find more meaning through fluency in the language by which God chose to have a prophet write.  I know that if I was fluent in French I could have saved many hours of looking words up in a French-English dictionary.  However, I know that my not being fluent in French allowed me to see the expanded meaning of individual words, where one fluent in French might have been misled to misinterpret in a linear manner.

 

To believe speaking one’s native language is the do-all for solving Nostradamus is as if a paint store owner should think he is the only one capable of producing art through painting. The reality is that without someone having a paint store, from which to obtain paint, and without having those who can use paint as a medium for freely expressing deeper meaning of life, and without having those who have the ability to admire and understand the the work of painters, the only works of art in the world would be cave paintings. In that case, cavemen would simply have used leftover foods on fingers, of different colors, as paint.  The only meaning would be found in how they took delight in wiping their fingers clean on the closest wall.

 

The man I emailed and told his best work was not placed on a website for all to see reacted as would a grown up Manny, having only heard his work was “great,” by friends and family trying to build up his confidence all his life. One would think all his work, trying to solve Nostradamus, was motivated from some heartfelt desire to have all know the truth. However, his reaction was typical of someone hell-bent on propelling ego, making truth nothing more than an occasional, meaningless byproduct.

 

If anyone sees where I have erred in my public work on Nostradamus and The Prophecies, then tell me … please. I have nothing to gain by having people believe what I say, without those people having tried and tested what I say first.  I do not seek people who idolize me for my accomplishments.  I seek people to help me try to save as many souls as possible … if not save the whole world from idiotic, egotistical demise.

 

I say that Nostradamus was divinely inspired to write a book name The Prophecies. Nostradamus said that; and I have tested that to the point of belief.  I welcome those to challenge the logic I have used in my testing.

 

I say there are systems of rules that must be accepted, in order to understand the language of The Prophecies. Nostradamus says that, directly and indirectly, in his letters of explanation.  I have tested the meaning of those letters to the point of belief.  I welcome those who can logically show how the words written by Nostradamus do not explain those rules.

 

I say that The Prophecies tells a story, with nothing random.  That means the quatrains are a puzzle in need of being rearranged into the story explained in Nostradamus’ letter to Henry II.  The letter to Henry II explains that by itself being a puzzle, needing to be dissected into pieces that must be placed in the right order, to read them intelligently as a story matching the story of the quatrains. I have tested that and found that matching story, well enough to find belief.  I welcome those who can logically tell me what the letter to Henry II says, and where an explanation of randomness is found.

 

I say Nostradamus was a prophet of Jesus Christ, who wrote The Prophecies for our modern benefit.  The proof of that comes from what was written in 1555, but which has since come true infallibly, as our past.  I have tested that to the point of belief.  I welcome those to logically challenge my interpretations of well over 200 quatrains, which have either completely come true as history confirms, or have partially come true with the future parts predicted by common news reports, in no way related to Nostradamus as the source.

 

Now, all I want is a show of hands. Who here thinks I made it all up?  Who believes I have something worthwhile to teach others?  Who believes there is no way to test what I have tested and come up with the same conclusion?  Who is up to saving souls, one’s own and others?

 

Why don’t we go down to the football field and try to fling this theory through the goal post?

Flaming Arrows Raining Down Upon Earth, or Doomsday Solar Flares

I read on the Huff & Puff Post today that the big-brained people who think things out (often just to scare people into submission) have figured that a major solar flare is likely to occur by the year 2020.  They suspect it will have devastating results. 

They recalled the history of a similar solar flare in 1859.  Gold miners got up and ate breakfast at 1:00 AM, because it was light outside, although seemingly cloudy.  Supposedly, people could read newspapers by the green and purple light in the sky, which a highly charged aurora borealis caused.  It was visible as far south as the Caribbean, due to the radiation emitted by the sunburst.  You can read that article here: Solar Flare Big Enough to Cause Castrophe on Earth Called Likely.

For those of you who read my “predictions” for 2012, you might recall I had a bit about solar flares disrupting communications worldwide.  I “foresaw” a solar flare making the satellite defense shield that America relies on vulnerable.  That has not happened yet; but obviously, the Huff & Puff people are monitoring my blog.  They must have commissioned that article because I scared people with my predictions, and they want to keep up the scare-factor. Therefore, in the future it might be best to read my posts while wearing dark sunglasses and a houndstooth hat.  The walls have eyes.  One does not want to be recognized reading what I have to say.

In reality, all I want to say, at this point, is relative to information about how Nostradamus often wrote about the Sun, in The Prophecies.  Some think he was referring to the astrological luminary, shown as a glyph depicting a circle with a dot in the center.  Thus, most think his mentions of the Sun are timing references. 

Unfortunately, the Sun moves so fast (1 degree per day, basically) it is useless (alone) as a timing factor, especially one predicting a future hundreds of years beyond 1555.  In reality, Nostradamus wrote the French words “soleil,” “solaire,” and “Sol.”  Sometimes, “soleil” would be found capitalized, sometimes not, but every version has been translated to mean “the Sun.”  The trouble is “Sol” is primarily “Sun” in Latin, while only a secondary use in French.  The French word “sol” means, “ground, land, foundation, lowest level of a thing …” and then ”sun.”  All of this information matters, as differences are clues, to which one should be observant.

In all of The Prophecies, the quatrains and both letters of instruction, references to the Sun are primarily meant to be seen as references to Christianity.  This is parallel to his references to “Lune,” “luna,” “lunaire,” and several mythological goddesses associated with the Moon, which are references to Islam.  (Venus too, as Islam sees the crescent moon and the evening star as its symbols.)  Together, those two luminaries of Earth (and astrology) are symbolically cast as the two major players in his prophesied coming future – a Holy War (unholy is more defining) between those two religions.  Are there any signs of that in the news these days?

I will spare you all the details from The Prophecies that support this conclusion (blogs are the new “Short Attention Span Theater”).  I will simply mention the symbolic comparisons to Christ, such as the Sun god, Apollo, being the god of truth (“verily I tell you”), and the Sun is the light (“I am the light of the world”) that gives life to all things on Earth.  Beyond that, I just want to make a comparison to solar flares and known biblical prophecy.   

Everyone claiming to be Christian believes that Christ will return at the end of the world (“He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead”).  Look at the symbolism of a solar flare, especially one that would be “big enough to cause catastrophe on Earth.”  It parallels the first rider of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, on a white horse, with a bow, wearing a crown.  The color (actually the absence of any color) “white” is another common reference by Nostradamus in The Prophecies that is relative to Christianity.  The word “black” – the presence of all color – is likewise stated to represent Islam.  This means “white” is the “light” of day, when the Sun is out; and “black” is the “dark” of night, when the Moon is more typically out (but no Sun).  That could be an indication that the Archer (a rider with a bow) would shoot out an arrow (a solar flare) that would initiate the coming of the Red Rider (War - and don’t get me started on talking about how the color ”Red” symbolizes Russia).

One thing Nostradamus explains, especially through his Latin quotes found in the preface, coming from the Holy Bible, is that God is a just God.  Nostradamus quoted the Isaiah/Psalms prophecies that say, “I will break you like a potter’s vessel.”  He mentions the use of a “rod of iron.”  In Latin, the word that states “rod” (“virga”) actually means “green twig,” as well as “rod.”  When translated to see this “green twig” appear, the quote gives a kinder view of God. 

It says how God will punish like a Father would correct any of his children who misbehaved.  He would not use anger and smash a child to pieces, but He would use love - whipping with a switch, to teach a valuable lesson (the Father principle).  Such a corrective measure would be designed to keep the child from getting used to wrong and later doing the things that would have the child commit a much harsher sin.  That would be a suicidal act, where the child would be found smashing itself to pieces by turning away from God. 

Nostradamus said, “God will visit your inequities,” before such punishment.  The word “inequities” means “injustices, states of unfairness,” or basically anything that is out of balance (the scales of blind justice measure equality).  This means, if America uses predator drones like a rod of iron (iron symbolizes weaponry), and if the people whom America uses predator drones against do not have predator drones to use in retaliation, then a state of imbalance exists.  The Prophecy then states, “God will visit that inequity with a green twig,” or a “switch,” to set a bad boy straight.  No big whoop.  Just a fatherly warning to get right with God.

That could appear as a visit from his Archer Sun, Jesus Christ.  It could be Christ who could ride His white (purity) horse out and shoot a solar flare to the Earth.  It would be a fair flare, knocking out all communications systems equally.  It would have the effect of knocking out the communication systems to all nations that would be using them to guide predator drones.

I just thought I would let everyone know that we should all be careful what we wish for.  If you wish to strike others with a rod of iron, and to smash them to pieces like a hammer to an earthen pot, then you just might get your wish.  However, you might be the one in the potter’s vessel, and equality just might reach out and strike you in retaliation while your pants are down around your ankles.

The American Civil War of 2012

It is that time again.  We have entered another presidential election year.  All rise and sing our electional anthem. (sung to the tune of “Hi Ho,” from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)

We hate! We hate!  Its time to open the gates

And dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig,

In our Minds the whole day through

To dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig,

Its what we love to do

It ain’t no trick

To get pricks quick

If ya dig, dig, dig,

And make a poster pic

Go viral in a Mind.

This country has become a YouTube-Facebook crazed bunch of political haters, each calling the other “Hater!”  They do this because one’s hatred must be projected upon someone else who is not in total agreement with some political party’s agenda.  We hate your Health Care Program!  We hate your insensitivity to Birth Controls!  We hate your unraveling our propositions against Gay Marriage!  We hate you questioning the birthright of our President to be King of America!  Hate, hate, hate.  As bad as it is during off-year elections, the years when presidents are elected means more money falls from the political heavens to feed the hatred fires.  Burn hater burn!

Wake up people.  We have turned against one another.  The concept of “love thy neighbor as yourself” has lost all value in our society.  Are we to split the “United” states up according to political philosophies so we only have neighbors that look, act, think, and do like us? 

Do all states beginning with an “M” need to become free states for democrats, with all states beginning with an “N” becoming slave states to republicans?  Where will the independents live?  You do remember the people of the United States tried something like that before the American Civil War broke out in 1860?

If we divided, so that we could more accurately reflect the divisiveness this country has gleefully embraced, maybe we could love new neighbors more easily.  But, if we chose to continue the concept of “United States,” how could it be under one president, one man who can never achieve total unity amid such diversity of thought?

We generically hate our “Do-nothing Congress,” which we put there and let do nothing!  Congress may never again get anything done, because it reflects our hatred. They are too busy hating (just like us) to ever compromise, much less love a neighbor’s opposing bill. 

Perhaps, if we had a new armed revolution, the streets could run red (or blue?) with the blood of our enemies (“We have seen our enemy and he is us.”).  We could just leave the bodies of (pick a political party here) in the streets, so only (pick an opposing political party here) would survive.  Could we love our neighbors more easily that way?

Is that not already going on in Syria?  Is Greece not far behind?  Has it not already gone that way in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya? 

If an “Arab Spring” were a positive thing elsewhere, would that logic not allow for a “Christian Fall” in the West to be a good thing?  If the Greeks do not like cutbacks on entitlements, so much they are willing to burn their national monuments, are we better than the Greeks?  The world is turning on leaders, seeing the leaders as the ones who have brought about such pain and misery.  If America goes bankrupt, will we gracefully accept hard labor as our punishment, expecting no free government handouts in return for our tax money?  Or, will our addiction to comfort send us into the streets with stones and molotov coctails (if gasoline is still affordable)?  If you think “Occupy Wall Street” is a protest, think again.

We need guidance.  We need an oracle to be entranced to tell us if Obama will walk on water and save us all with four more years.  If we give him four more years, are there guarantees that he will not create a Constitutional Ammendment via a “signing statement,” making him ruler for life …  you know … so he can get the big job done?  If not, we need to know if can we trust a Mormon (remember … Glenn Beck is Mormon).  We need to know why Rick Santorum looks so much like Lee Harvey Oswald.  We need to know if Ron Paul will live until 2020.  We need to know if another Bush is plotting a way to usurp our government … again.

Of course, knowing some Greek Mythology would help, especially the tales about how the oracles from Delphi had a way of telling the truth in ways that could only be understood in hindsight (Epimetheus).  It is always nice to know that oracles only tell the truth.  It is also nice to know that only fools try to keep the truth from happening, while doing the same wrong things that led them to an oracle in the first place.

Nostradamus is the oracle for today’s world.  He is Promethean (Foresighted).  John of Patmos told the same story, but he resembles Father Tireseas (the blind prophet of Thebes).  The Revelation is like seeing the future through cataracts.  At least there are systems that make Nostradamus clear as mud.

God breathed into Nostradamus and placed him in a trance so he could write The Prophecies.  In that way he told of our demise.  He told it as it was told to him.  He told the truth.

Christians should call that being possessed by the Holy Spirit.  But then, Christians only talk that talk (“We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets.” Nicene Creed).  Most never walk that walk.  People who call themselves “Christian” are so far from being filled with the Holy Spirit that they would not recognize a true prophet of the Lord if one sat down on the bus next to a Christian and said, “The Lord sent me to warn you that you are going the wrong way.”

“Driver … stop the bus and put this fool off, please.”

And, Christians are the “good guys” in Nostradamus’ story.  Those atheists among us (going by the government code name “secular progressives”) laugh at the notion of holy.  Although, they do love to consume spirits from time to time, it’s not the same thing.  Simply put, that “spirit of America” shows how we have turned away from God so far, when we look up to the clouds today we see men and women in nice suits and $400 haircuts.  They all smile and wave, promising to make all the problems of the world go away, “If you vote for me …”  

This message was paid for by Friends of God, and He approves this message.

May Day … Is that a distress call or a call for Communist workers to take a day off?

On the website Wikipedia, an article is posted under the title “Political Impersonator.”  That article defines a “political impersonator” as, “a person employed to impersonate a politician, to draw attention away from the real person or to take risks on their behalf. This can also apply to military figures, or civilians impersonated for political/espionage purposes.”  The article then goes on to state that a “political decoy is an individual who has been selected because of their strong physical resemblance to the person they are impersonating. This resemblance can be strengthened by plastic surgery. Often, such decoys are trained to speak and behave like their ‘target’.” 

In a subheading to the article, entitled “Political decoys in history,” the article states, “Joe R. Reeder, an undersecretary for the U.S. Army from 1993 to 1997, has gone on record with claims that a number of figures around the world have or have had decoys, including Manuel Noriega, Raoul Cédras, Enver Hoxha, Fidel Castro, George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden.”  This information cites a Fox News story.

In reference to this statement by Mr. Reeder, the article states, “The case of Osama bin Laden is instructive. In the absence of confirmed sightings of the terrorist figurehead, many sources openly speculated that videotaped messages from bin Laden were in fact recordings of a double – either as part of a ‘frame-up’ operation, or as part of a strategy of deception on bin Laden’s part.”  This information cites a MSNBC-MSN.COM story.

As specific examples in this subheading of historical persons believed to have utilized impersonators one is Boris Yeltsin (the first president of the Russian Federation, who first took the reigns there after the fall of the Soviet Union) and Saddam Hussein (the dictator of Iraq).  This is what is presented in those two cases.

 “Boris Yeltsin/unknown (1996–2000)”

“In 1998, Duma deputy Aleksandr Salii asked the office of the Russian Prosecutor-General to investigate claims that a double had been impersonating Yeltsin for official purposes since the real Yeltsin’s heart surgery in November 1996. Salii told journalists that he and colleagues had examined some 1,500 photographs and gathered evidence showing that a “New Yeltsin” had appeared after 1996, with the supposed decoy frequently displaying his injured hand, whereas the real Yeltsin had always tried to conceal that hand. Yeltsin had frequently disappeared from public view in preceding years, sometimes in circumstances that aroused widespread suspicion. In July 1995, Yeltsin disappeared from public view for weeks following a heart operation. A photograph of Yeltsin was released to dispel rumors about his health, which actually inflamed the situation when it emerged that it appeared to be a staged photograph based on a photograph taken some months earlier.”

 “Saddam Hussein/several unknowns (1990s–2003)”

“In 2003, German television network ZDF broadcast claimed that Iraq’s former president Saddam Hussein was frequently replaced with doubles for TV appearances. This analysis was based on sophisticated measuring techniques, which detected discrepancies in the position of Hussein’s facial features and blemishes from appearance to appearance. It was supported by the opinion of Jerrald Post, the man who created the CIA’s Psychological Profile Unit.  It was also alleged that Austrian politician Jörg Haider had actually met a double when he thought he was meeting Hussein.”

In June 2011, a movie was released, entitled “Devil’s Double.”  This was a movie that featured the man who has since come out publicly as the man who doubled for Saddam Hussein’s son, Uday Hussein.  Supposedly, he has been shot twenty-six times, in attempts to kill that dictator’s notorious son. 

Uday Hussein
Latif Yahia, the Fake Uday Hussein

While I have not seen the movie, I remember the news reports long ago about Saddam Hussein using doubles.  That news seemed to be for the purpose of presenting him in a light that exposed him as a fearful leader.  It makes sense that if he did, in fact, use look-alikes as bullet-bait, he would then order his sons to have equal protection.  I imagine those chosen to risk their lives in that service had little to say in argument.  Since the whole Hussein family was so evil in its actions, the Hussein males historically attracted those seeking to kill the killers.

This report of the existence of political impersonators shows that having people purposefully pretend to be someone important is not unreasonable to expect, especially when the important people have reason to believe attempts might be taken on their lives.  While I am not suggesting this is a commonplace occurrence, it is recognized as a historical fact.  Certainly, it would require locating such celebrity look-alikes, and persuading them to enlist in a potentially deadly protection service.  I imagine the compensation and perks would give their lives a boost up.  Still, it would take time to find qualifying candidates, which would limit how often such employment could occur.  If surgery would be deemed another necessary step, to enhance certain recognizable similarities and characteristics, the difficulty factor limits the possibilities further.  Still, it is not conspiracy theory that presents this aspect of security options surrounding VIPs, it is a reality.

I bring up this topic now, because on January 24, 2012, the fearless leader of the free world – Barack Obama – got a warm round of applause by making the statement, “For the first time in two decades, Osama bin Laden is not a threat to this country.”  He said that in his State of the Union address, and it was in reference to the much publicized announcement that Osama bin Laden had been killed in a Navy SEAL operation in Pakistan.  Knowing that it is commonplace for political figures to use surrogates as targets, and with the article about “Political Impersonators” on Wikipedia pre-existing (posted in 2008, last modified in January 2012) that announcement of bin Laden’s death (May Day 2011 – or 5/1/11), makes it interesting to note how that statement, “Osama bin Laden is not a threat to this country for the first time in two decades,” does not say, “Osama bin Laden is dead.”

It states, simply, that Osama bin Laden is no longer perceived as a threat to the United States, like he had been when he was believed to be alive.  I have seen telivision shows that present evidence that Jesse James lived to be an old man, and the body that was said to be the dead Jesse James was someone else.  By labeling someone as “no longer a threat,” it has the same effect as saying, “there is no longer any need to look out for that threat.”  Taking down the “Wanted: Dead or Alive” posters also removes the incentive to keep looking.  However, mistakes do happen, and the threat is no longer a threat as long as the threat says, “Cool.  Now all I have to do is not rob a bank or kill someone and I can die of natural causes in my nineties.” 

Even in the “two decades” Osama bin Laden was a threat (1992-2012), there were times when it was thought he was dead, before that May Day announcement.  This was particularly true after the battle of Tora Bora had been won by American-CIA special ops.  The CIA sent a team of experts in after the battle, to dig up the shallow mass grave the Taliban had hurriedly dug, and those agents cut off the thumbs of the corpses buried there.  They did that to test for bin Laden’s prints and DNA.  Some officials publicly said then that he was confirmed dead, only to have a new video pop up afterwards, proving he was still alive, and still a threat. 

If the idea that he was really killed at Tora Bora, only to have a body double pose in videos later released, as the Wikipedia article suggests is possible, then that would open a can of worms for Barack Obama.

That would mean the United States government (George W. Bush holding top responsibility) would have allowed the world to perceive the threat of Osama bin Laden as being still present, when he was, ipso facto, dead and no longer able to be a threat.  That would mean the government artificially maintained that “threat of Osama bin Laden” for nine years, until the Navy SEAL raid.  In that case, the attack of May 1, 2011 would have been a blatant disregard of Pakistani rights, as a sovereign nation, denying their government the right to approve, or be part of any raids United States of America would wish to commence.  Heck, they might have come right out and said, “Don’t bother.  The political impersonator is kept there.”  Certainly, it would be  upsetting to Pakistan if a raid took place on their soil that would result in the murder of innocent citizens, by foreign military personnel, regardless of how many tails of high-tech stealth helicopers were left “as a show of trust between allies.”  The planned death of an innocent citizen, whose only “crime” would have been purposefully looking like Osama bin Laden, would constitute premeditated murder.  

If Osama bin Laden really did survive the battle of Tora Bora, and he really did continue to pose a threat to the United States and the Western World, then the idea of a “political impersonator” has to be considered a valid possibility.  Osama bin Laden could have made videos using himself, while also using impersonators posing as himself in other videos made public.  The government agencies that do intricate analysis of those videos would have been able to detect minute differences, and made the determination that a body double could become the actual target, to see if Osama bin Laden would come out in the open, protesting his own death being prematurely announced a second time.   I mean, doesn’t this look more like some pretender watching videos of the real Osama bin Laden, in case he was called upon to act tough, holding an AK47?

In such a scenario, there is only a slim chance that the real bin Laden could have been eliminated in the Pakistan raid, with the raid netting nothing more than a dead impersonator.  Perhaps, a real Osama bin Laden wife and son were there to make it seem like the real McCoy, but none of those relatives are seen as criminals.  No wonder the Obama administration thought better of releasing photos of the raid.

Photo-shopped pic publicized as “Osama Dead!”  It was proven to be a fake, showing which previous photo of Osama bin Laden had been used to make some unidentified injured or dead person look like “dead Osama.”

So, what proof did the people of the United States of America get on May 2, 2011, which would certify that Osama bin Laden was really killed the day before?  How can a few killer SEALs do some rapid DNA test and conclusively determine that the person they just killed (before confirming DNA) was Osama bin Laden?  As they were dragging the body through the dust to an awaiting helicopter, were they wearing surgical gloves and using every precaution to prevent contamination?  I’m sure Barry Schenk, the lawyer who handled the DNA arguments, against the evidence presented by prosecutors in the O.J. Simpson murder trial, would have had a field day challenging how they found that match so quickly.  I mean, every real trial shown on cable television cannot even begin without waiting weeks, if not months, for the lab results of DNA samples to come back, confirming positive or negative.

The most ridiculous part of that whole, “wham-bam-there’s your poll bump Mr. President-thank you ma’am” episode was the U.S. Navy’ decision to throw the body they took from that raid overboard, and then try to pass that off as some honorable funeral at sea ceremony.  Gimme a break.  How can anyone just believe the excuse that Islamic law demands burial within 24 hours (or whatever short timeframe stated)?  The government wouldn’t lie to anyone now would it?  Right.  If you believe that, I have some UFO parts to show you.  One peek for a dollar.

How could any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces give a crap about Islamic law, when they have been losing arms, legs, eyes, brain matters, ears, and lives to Islamic extremists who believe killing and maiming via roadside bombs is somehow related to the Koran’s “eye for an eye” law?  

We saw how the burned and mutilated corpses of four American “contractors” (Blackwater mercenaries) were drug through the streets of Fallujah, with two of them hung from a bridge over the Euphrates River.  What does Islamic law say about how long a body can be ridiculed, before it must be buried according to someone else’s religious doctrines?  Recently, the video of U.S. Marines peeing on dead Taliban soldiers shows just how much respect there is for what funeral arrangements enemy combatants deserve.  The Islamic law-following Muslims of Libya didn’t give a crap about that when they opened up the meat locker at a local  supermarket and used that forum to display the body of Qadaffi, while charging the line of folks coming to see the carnage each a Libyan nickel. 

Humane peoples do not typically recognize mistreatment of the dead as just, at least in these modern days.  In the American “Wild West,” it was common to have the bodies of outlaws set in coffins and leaned up against the wall of the Funeral Parlor, so citizens could come stand next to a famous (or infamous) figure and have a photographic portrait taken of them together.  Makes for good postcards: “I was there!  Wish you were too!” 

While Osama bin Laden was an outlaw, wanted dead or alive by the F.B.I. (reward $25-million), there are still certain protocols that must be taken before an outlaw’s body is interred.  One is notification of next of kin.

The Saudis are supposedly the ally of the United States government.  The father of Osama bin Laden is a respected Saudi, and he is who should have been given the corpse.  At least, he should have been offered the opportunity to bury his son, according to Islamic Law; and there were multiple wives and children that would have wanted to attend the funeral, minimally, regardless how long it would take to receive the body. 

The U.S. Navy had as little right to fling that body overboard as those U.S. Marines had to pee on dead Taliban fighters, before covering them over in a mass grave.  At least, in that case, family members could dig up their dead relatives and bury them properly some other place.  They did that after discovering mass graves ordered by Saddam Hussein.  But, throwing a body in the sea … it is the ultimate disgrace, and not the actions of a truly Christian (or civil) nation.

For a high-profile wanted criminal, such as Osama bin Laden, it is imperative that the body be identified as such, beyond any shadow of doubt, before disposing of the body properly can commence.  Even Lee Harvey Oswald’s family was allowed to attend his funeral, which was held very privately (a government restriction against publicizing it).  The excuse that Osama bin Laden’s funeral would have ignited Islamic fervor to a fever pitch, endangering Americans around the globe, is lame, at best.  Besides, the Muslim world was not too pleased with the news of what happened, as it was reported, meaning Americans are still endangered around the globe.

No one can find it a better option to toss the body of evidence overboard, into the Arabian Sea (or Indian Ocean, basically the same body of water), than to do lengthy tests to confirm that identity.  While the Pakistanis would have preferred to keep the body there, allowing CIA medical technicians the freedom to extract parts and do analysis, one has to find some level of distrust in the Pakistani government, seeing how the compound raided was next door to the largest Pakistani military facility.  Still, even the Israelis would have come up with an intact body to keep in their possession (a potential bargaining chip), rather than just letting Osama “sleep with the fishes.” 

In the end, the body of Osama bin Laden would be due the same respect that all those he had killed received, which was none.  All is fair in love and war.  But in the end, all remaining parts, after thorough inspection, could have then been containerized for proper funeral arrangements, offered to the family, and then let the martyr ceremony begin.  Damn the martyrdom.   

Had the body not been thrown out like yesterday’s garbage, the table might have been turned on mister hero, President Barack “Big Poll Bounce” Obama.  His approval rating was sinking like a stone, up until April 30, 2011.  The announcement that Osama bin Laden was dead gave his numbers a big boost.  Could it be that he knowingly approved the murder of an innocent citizen of the world, whose only “crime” was looking like someone who had not been caught for 20 years?  Why else would the body be so unreasonably tossed? 

I wonder if there would have been grounds for impeachment, had the DNA tests (all done after a kill, not before) come back negative?  Of course, that news would have never been made public, especially with the American news media acting as a good propaganda network.  

Would ordering a hit on an pretender playing a role in a foreign land not be seen as a “high crime”?  Should Sean Penn be looking over his shoulder, wondering how safe he is playing Hollywood Jesus the next time he visits Chavez in Venezuela, if a Republican is elected this year?  Is Penn (and all others of the Hollywood elite) not a “political impersonator,” acting as the face of the Democratic Party?

Imagine what would have happened, had the body of Osama bin Laden been brought back to the United States for a thorough DNA analysis, only to find out it was just some hack Muslim pretending to look like Osama bin Laden.  I mean the Bill Clinton’s cigar and Monica Lewinski’s dress got more analysis, and that led to impeachment proceedings. 

Imagine how easy it would be for Osama bin Laden to hide in the open (sans beard, robe and head wrap), now that the world no longer sees him as a threat.   Unlike Jesse James, who was ready to settle down and live like ordinary folk after a life of crime, Osama bin Laden (if still alive) is not about to hang up the weapons.

Imagine how a fake murder could help re-elect a sitting president, while also keep people off the trail of the real Osama bin Laden.  Politicians love double-speak, such that one has to read between the lines and see how “no longer a threat” is like saying, “still a threat no longer felt.”   Scary.

Fake Osama + Real Osama

I write this article now because I published my book The $25-Million Answer at the end of March 2001.  I wrote it between late-November 2010 and the end of January 2011, but making it ready for print-on-demand publishing took another two months, roughly.  Writing that book was really the first time I had looked deeply into the quatrains that tell the Osama bin Laden story.  Those who have read the book will attest that the evidence presented by Nostradamus points to one specific place where someone just like Osama bin Laden could be located, in hiding, building an army, preparing to catch the Western world napping (thinking there was no longer a threat of his being alive).  The book had barely been out a month (April 2011) when all of a sudden the wiliest fugitive for the last 20 years is killed.  The reports of bin Laden’s death made my book suddenly appear to be worthless, especially after the news that the reward money was no longer being available.  I mean, why report that the reward is no longer offered?  Wouldn’t everyone presume that without being told?

I doubt that there is another villain out there that will be able to fill the historic shoes established by Osama bin Laden.  That means either bin Laden is still alive (an imposter was killed), or he lives on through one of this sons, nowhere near Afghanistan or Pakistan.  My book tells clearly where to look, and that place is repeated by Nostradamus, making it clear the same person that will rise up and create more havoc on the world (postmortem) is the same person that escaped Tora Bora.  The options are limited.

If one has read my book, then one can also see the comparison to the Antichrist having more validity.  Osama bin Laden is the character as large as Jesus was to early Christians (Jews), only he appeals to the anti-Jewish Muslims (an anti-Christ).  However, if Osama bin Laden suddenly returns to life, after having been pronounced dead … would that not be the same as an anti-Resurrection?  That makes my book more important, in January 2012, than it was on April 30, 2011. 

I think it is also somewhat interesting that Joe Biden made it public today (January 30, 2012) that he advised against the Osama bin Laden raid being approved.  Why Joe?  Supposedly, Joe told the president that they must make sure bin Laden was there first, as there was considerable doubt among the War Room gatherers.  It seems CIA director (now Defense Secretary) Leon Panetta was the only one in the room urging Obama to “do-in Osama,” without any doubts.  Sounds like Panetta knew it was a “slam dunk,” and that it was certain he was there, whether or not he was there.  Gotta watch those guys.  Anyone remember the “slam dunk” about Saddam Hussein having WMDs?
