Habemus Papam - A Horse of a Different Color

On 3/13/13, at 8:13 on the back of white smoke filling the air, the call went out...Habemus Papam or "We Have a Pope!".

I announce to you a great joy:
We have a Pope!
The most eminent and most reverend Lord,
Lord Jorge Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church Bergoglio,
Who takes for himself the name of Francis.

Around the world billions of Catholic adherents were overjoyed as a new pontiff assumed the vacated papacy. In the middle of this celebration, one can't but help to notice the symbols. Symbols, symbols everywhere. But why are symbols important?

...because symbols mean something.

The first thing this morning Pope Francis went secretly to pray at the basilica church of St Mary Major in Rome. It is a custom for a new pope to go to this great church to pray, but for Pope Francis it was the first thing on his agenda. While he was there he made it a point to pray at the tomb of Pope St Pius V. Is this significant? Does it matter? If it is significant what does it signify?

...the Popes know their actions and words are significant. This is why they carefully choose their papal name. Benedict XVI chose his name for sound and significant reasons. Francis chose his name for sound and significant reasons. During his papacy, Benedict paid two very significant visits to the tomb of Pope St. Celestine V – the pope who decided that a pope could abdicate, and the only one who did abdicate for the good of the church. Benedict then follows his example and abdicates for the good of the church.

 One of my main criticisms of anyone part of any movement is that they are often immune to any form of correction.

'There are no problems.'
 'Ok, there are problems, but they're not that bad.'
'Ok, the problems are real bad, but everyone has problems.'

I have no issues with people being unaware of issues as not everyone is privy to all information at all times but I do have an issue with those who choose to demonize the messenger because they hate the message. Those who literally believe that destroying the messenger will kill the message - 

There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.

“The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way.  Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

“But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. ~ Matthew 21:33-39

It is quite literally the reason why the Church recognizes good Friday. The cognitive dissonance can be absolutely stunning to behold in action. Enter the Trojan horse.

The Greeks had laid siege to the city of Troy for 10 years, trying in vain to take the city from the steadfast Trojan army. Something had to be done to secure the city, so they did the only sensible thing they could. They gave up and sailed away. But not before leaving behind a parting present - A large wooden horse as a kind of 'Thanks for playing!' parting gift for the victorious army. The Trojans wasted little time claiming this trophy by wheeling it through the city gates and celebrated a hard-fought epic war.

But not all was as it appeared.

For stealthily contained inside the horse was the patient Greek army, who at nightfall, exited the horse and slaughtered the Trojans, thus securing the city of Troy and ending the war.

For all appearances, the Trojans were absolutely correct. Why yes, this horse would make a very lovely addition to the city and it would raise the moral of the troops who had earned a respite. Besides, who would dare to do such a heinous thing to the Mighty Trojans, sneak into the fortress and...::gulp::...For a more recent perspective, ask conservatives about Chief Justice John Roberts...

Back to the subject at hand -

The very first thing Francis does is go to St Mary Major to pray at the tomb of Pius V.

So who was Pope St Pius V? He was a reforming pope who reigned from 1566- 1572. He cleaned up the curia, excommunicated heretical bishops, cleaned up the immorality in the church and swept the church clean– paving the way for the great surge in the church we call the Counter Reformation. He also excommunicated the tyrant Elizabeth I of England and formed the Holy League–a confederation of Catholic armies which eventually defeated the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Lepanto. Pius V also instituted the Feast of Our Lady of Victories (nor the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary).

St Francis lived during a time of corruption, wealth and power in the church. He heard Christ say to him, “re-build my church.” Will Pope Francis also hear the call from Christ to “re-build my church” and not only be a new Francis but a new Pius V?

Rebuild the church? This begs the question - Into what exactly?

The Rise of the Alpha - Rome

Massimo Franco reports that there is in the Vatican “the widespread feeling is that, in order to rebuild, the next pope will first of all have to deconstruct, if not destroy.” - See more at: http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/02/17/289386/pope-resignation-shows-crisis-in-church/#sthash.iBLbvxYP.dpuf

 ...in the Vatican “the widespread feeling is that, in order to rebuild, the next pope will first of all have to deconstruct, if not destroy.” ~ Massimo Franco

Now that the symbolic pyre has been lit, it's time to light the real one. Presently, everyone is being prepared for a new strain of religion, not a reformation, but a complete destruction of the old and then reconstruction. An activity so large, that it needs to be managed by a new paradigm in popedom. It is no coincidence that one of the wars of the youthful new millennium involved the country formerly known as Babylon.

Predictions? I've got my eye on two at the moment, although this is very cursory at this point: Angelo Scola from Venice (The new Atlantis?) and Carlo Maria Martini for no particular reason yet. The date to keep an eye on is 3/17/2013. If we get the new pope that day, look out, the green revolution is on...



The destruction of Rome, long live New Babylon.

Egypt Facing Idolic Destruction?

The Alpha religion continues to gain steam with the destruction of the old 'idols' -

An Egyptian jihad leader, with self-professed links to the Taliban, called for the “destruction of the Sphinx and the Giza Pyramids in Egypt,” drawing ties between the Egyptian relics and Buddha statues, local media reported this week.

Murgan Salem al-Gohary, an Islamist leader twice-sentenced under former President Hosni Mubarak for advocating violence, called on Muslims to remove such “idols.”

“All Muslims are charged with applying the teachings of Islam to remove such idols, as we did in Afghanistan when we destroyed the Buddha statues,” he said on Saturday during a television interview on an Egyptian private channel, widely watched by Egyptian and Arab audiences.
“God ordered Prophet Mohammed to destroy idols,” he added. “When I was with the Taliban we destroyed the statue of Buddha, something the government failed to do.”

As first noted in Egyptian Resurrection Right On Cue and expounded upon in Egypt's Military Takes Over - Spiritual Coup In Effect -

Egypt is being used as a spiritual pawn in a global game of chess to galvanize the forces of the ease against the forces of the west. Yet, one of the difficult concepts to communicate clearly to some people, especially evangelical Christians, is their involvement in an overarching plot to pave the way for a globalist religion by pitting the Christians against the Muslims in a demonization move. They see the pieces moving and rightly assess that they are in peril, but then they make the fatal mistake of engaging in maligning the people instead of the leaders and movement.

 Just where does Murgan Salem al-Gohary come from?

Gohary, 50, is well-known in Egypt for his advocacy of violence, Egypt Independent reported.

“He was sentenced twice, one of the two sentences being life imprisonment. He subsequently fled Egypt to Afghanistan, where he was badly injured in the American invasion. In 2007, he traveled from Pakistan to Syria, which then handed him over to Egypt. After Mubarak's fall in early 2011, he was released from prison by a judicial ruling,” the newspaper added.

Well, well, look at where Murgan has been. Afghanistan. Syria. All of the hotbeds for recent 'terrorist' activity. Additionally he's been sentenced, twice, and yet somehow he is free... Smells fishy to me.

Many people in some sort of weird eisegesis, assume that the terrorists came first. Indeed, the first these individuals hear about many of these situations colors their entire perception of the event so badly, that they mistakenly assume that the situation that exists currently, always did exist in this state. Take Osama bin Laden, few people know that he was a CIA asset being used against the Soviet Union before the 9/11 bombings.

IF, this story is accurate, look for escalating attacks against religious icons to further drive the 'religion is bad' narrative. I would assume that we should start seeing that at the earliest after 12/21/2012 and more likely in the 2013 realm.

The Call for the Fourth Reich Goes Out

Barroso asks that they set the pyre ablaze and behold the embers -

CHIEF Eurocrat Jose Barroso ignited fury yesterday by calling for the EU to become a “federation of nation states” run from Brussels.
In his most ambitious rallying cry yet for political and economic unity, the European Commission President said “shared sovereignty” was the only solution to the debt crisis in the eurozone.

Mr Barroso also demanded “absolute loyalty” from member states.

“Let’s not be afraid of the words: We will need to move towards a federation of nation states,” he said.

Mr Barroso promised a new treaty to effectively establish an elected Europe-wide government and denounced opponents of his dream as “populists and nationalists”.

Mr Barroso set out a plan for the EU to “evolve” into a “deep and genuine economic and monetary union, a political union, with a coherent foreign and defence policy”.

He told Euro MPs: “We are in a defining moment. This moment requires decisions and leadership. In Europe, this means accepting we are all in the same boat. It means recognising the commonality of our interests. And it means demanding a true sense of common responsibility.

“Because when you are on a boat in the middle of the storm, absolute loyalty is the minimum you demand from your fellow crew members.”

This should come as absolutely no surprise to long-time readers of The Real Effect. Let's go over the prognostications.

Nov 2005! -

Watch for an increase in centralization of power shifting from the United States to Brussels and the European Union, setting up the scene for the forth-coming global prince.  

From Sept 2008 (before the US crisis)-

European Union -They will be hit by this economic downswing, but where the US will be ravaged by this downturn, the EU will "weather the storm" precisely because they are the EU. This will lead for calls to imitate them with the North American Union in order to survive. (Timeframe: 1 - 3 years)

Two years after that prediction, the EU found itself consumed  by the ravages of the economic malaise.

January 2010 -

Once the Union hooks are in, you can't get out and those politicians are going to make sure that they get their pound of flesh.

The EU will make it through this in one form or another (It might cease to be called the EU but it will still be the EU.) 

April 2010 (In response to the Greece crisis)-

Look out for the shell game at this point. This is where the "leaders", who caused the mess by the way, give you your solution by stating the only thing that will save us is TOTAL GLOBAL POWER.

"Only a sustainable global economy can continue to guarantee growing wealth without jeopardizing the chance for future generations to meet their own needs." And how do we sustain it? Why, by having the developed world issue half a trillion in debt each and every month.

But to achieve their goal, they need to first be UNSUCCESSFUL with their bureaucratic efforts. It only works if you bring in a global despot as the world savior, much like Adolph was to Germany in the 30's.

January 2011 -

Western Europe contracts massively, putting extraordinary pressure on the Euro. But the call out of Belgium isn't about revoking the Euro, rather about the preservation of the European Union and the need to 'pull together'. I would expect that we could begin to see propaganda calling for a United Europe in the face of "x" (economic crisis, terror, war). 

 Of course, this is a long reaching plan. From July 2011 -

This is part of long-reaching, globalist plan. Take a look -

• 1957 Establishment of the European Economic Community (EEC) with Germany, France, Italy and the Benelux countries.
• 1967 Creation of the European Community (EC).
• 1987 The "Single European Act" provides for the creation of the Single European Market from 1993 and establishes the goal of a Monetary Union.
• 1990 Start of stage one of European Monetary Union (EMU) with the full liberalization of capital movements.
• 1991 Conclusion of the "Maastricht Treaty" on European Union (EU), establishment of the timetable for Monetary Union.
• 1993 Start of the Single Market permitting the free movement of people, goods, capital and services.
• 1994 Start of stage two of EMU. The European Monetary Institute (EMI) is established.
• 1998 Decision on EMU participants, confirmation of the starting date; establishment of the ECB. 1999 Start of the Monetary Union with the fixing of exchange rates; the ECB assumes responsibility for monetary policy and operates in euro; start of the currency changeover in the financial sector.
• 2002 Euro notes and coins replace the national currencies.

 And finally from January 2012 -

The groundwork is being prepped for Europe's phoenix moment. But like the mythical bird of lore, before the new can come into being, first the old must burn.

Remember, it was this summer that the Olympics unveiled their phoenix in the stadium during the closing ceremonies. I believe that this particular incarnation of the EU and Barroso specifically is meant to be sacrificed by the globalists in order to advance the script on this situation. How that sacrifice will be played out is difficult to predict, but look for nations to rail against his call to unite. When the world burns during 2013, that action by the nation states will be demonized to the point of becoming the blame that is assigned to nationalism itself prompting the leaders to firmly denounce the "evils of nationalism".

In short, Barroso's only job is to create the script that we're all bad, evil people when we want to belong to a nation and not a global construct. And the blame for all the devastation that they created will go to you because you will be framed as an evil, selfish person for wanting to exist. At that point, the exterminations of the useless cattle will start in earnest.

The End of an Age

With this news, the reign of Osama the Terrible comes to a screeching halt -

The Obama administration has photographs of Osama bin Laden’s dead body and officials are debating what to do with them and whether they should be released to the public, officials tell ABC News.

“There’s no doubt it’s him,” says a US official who has seen the pictures and also reminds us that OBL was 6’4”.

The argument for releasing them: to ensure that the public knows and can appreciate that he's dead. There is of course skepticism throughout the world that the US government claim that it killed bin Laden is true.

The argument against releasing the pictures: they’re gruesome. He has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took bullet, with brains and blood visible.

Of course, the administration is very concerned with credibility so it is going to great lengths to ensure that Osama is seen by all, the fish -

A U.S. official says Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea.

After bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Pakistan, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition. That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said. Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said. So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.

The Real Effect
True to form, Obama is making doubly sure that the veracity of all events reported by his administration is seen as nothing more then a giant joke. Muslim practice and tradition! Please. If the Executive branch believed that the Muslim formerly known as Waldo had actually carried out this act, we would have paraded his body down Wall Street on a giant Coca-Cola float complete with Noid balloons to join his buddy dining at the Pentagon . Instead, we are to believe that the administration is more worried about pissing off the local Arab population that we've been dropping "gifts" on these last 10 years.

This entire situation is a giant psy-op. Not that there cannot be elements of truth in such an operation, quite the contrary, there will be real people getting killed and real events happening. They just won't go down the way you think they will. Think Jessica Lynch.

Let's be less sarcastic for a moment. This death changes little overall. The right is not satiated and will not be until the entire Mideast, sans Israel of course, resembles the transparent side of a high rise. The left has yet to find a group they dislike except the right. The debt is still there, people are still unemployed and the hum of war with Iran still rises far above the din of peace.

The script appears to be moving forward. A chapter has been closed and a new one appears to be beginning. Let us pray that it is not like a Friday the 13th movie with the evil being resurrected in a new form, twice as powerful as before.

Specifically, I am more concerned then ever about false flag attacks, of the nuclear variety on Chicago that will serve as the pretext to burn the world. I covered this in March 2011, May 2006, in more detail April 2006 and first in August 2005. Such a move would polarize the religious groups both here and abroad into outright blood lust. At that point, we would await the phoenix event that will transform the world.

Update: I almost forgot to mention, that it seems at least somewhat odd that OBL would get killed on May 1st, the home of Beltane, the beatification of the last pope and the anniversaries of the death of Hitler and founding of the Illuminati (235 years). Quite a day.

IMF Riots take Hold

With Iceland, Greece, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and other countries going before them Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Yemen, Albania and Egypt take a stab at rioting -

The Egyptian dissident Mohamed ElBaradei warned President Hosni Mubarak today that his regime is on its last legs, as tens of thousands of people prepared to take to the streets for a fourth day of anti-government protests.

The Nobel peace prize winner's comments to the Guardian represented his strongest intervention against the country's authoritarian government since he announced his intention to return to Egypt to join the protests. "I'm sending a message to the Guardian and to the world that Egypt is being isolated by a regime on its last legs," he said.

His words marked an escalation of the language he used on arrival in Cairo last night, when he merely urged the Mubarak government to "listen to the people" and not to use violence.

The Real Effect

Of course, how far behind is Japan or the United States for that matter? If the Suez Canal gets shut down, commodity costs, especially oil will probably explode as the vital shipping channel stops traffic.

As I stated back in May of 2010 -

There is a fundamental change in the way the middle-class and below of the world view the world. An "enlightenment" if you will. Here is the crux of the problem though. The globalists understood that the sheep would wake up, in fact they anticipated and planned for it by naming it the IMF riot. The relevant question is, who can outflank who here? Will the people get to the globalists before they are able to pull the trigger on the full police state?

In the Religious War Series, I outlined the sides that would start moving. Notice the following countries listed -

Side 2: Muslim/Communist -

• Russia
• Asia (Afghanistan, Pakistan, South Ossetia)
• Mideast (Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Gaza)
• African Union (Yemen, Niger, Ethiopia, Somalia, Mauritania, Mali, Algeria)

Side 3: Indo-China

• China
• North Korea

The Muslims are sure getting whipped into a frenzy. Gee, I wonder who's doing the driving? I expect that it will emerge that the U.S. is behind this via some alphabet soup agency. It appears that side 2 and 3 are getting goaded, one of the questions becomes when is side 1 (The Christians) going to receive the same treatment?

I believe that is being positioned for possibly late 2011, probably mid-to late 2012. (As stated in 2011 predictions)

With much of the fallout from "The Currency War" devastating the global economies, the action leaves the banks and hits the courts eventually ending on the battlefield. (More towards 2012)

• Worldwide, America is blamed for the global economic fallout.  (CDS, MBS securities)
• This stokes anti-American/liberty resentment which will find a place to mature later.
  
• A world war by the end of 2012

Look for continued unrest with some governments getting overthrown. But as I indicated earlier, the globalists are literally banking on this to occur. We are still not there yet though. More riots need to take place, some shots, some new faces and then, we go to war.

Update
Wow, that certainly didn't take long. The Telegraph is reporting the following -

The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police.

On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011.

Show of hands, who thinks that the Arabs will like that we're actively messing around in their countries? Anyone, anyone?!?

Blackbirds, Fish and Shrill Screams of Armageddon - Alpha Religion Hides in the Shadows

There is little mystery behind the fact that some people see the end of the world behind every corner -

Texas -

A large number of dead birds spotted on the Hwy 155 bridge near Ore City is most likely a natural occurrence in the area.

According to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Media Communication Director, Tom Harvey, it is not uncommon to see dozens of dead birds on this bridge, including the American Coots here.

The interesting thing though is that it doesn't end there - Florida, Manitoba, Canada, Argentina, Louisianna, Arkansas.

The Real Effect
Disturbing? Definitely. However, this issue is being spun already into all sorts of hysterical mumbo-jumbo. Surely it needs to be examined, but more important issues include -

• What damage has been done to the ecosystem in the Gulf because of the BP oil spill and the subsequent clean-up efforts?
• Does HAARP play a role in this?
• What role does geo-modification play in this?

Perhaps this piece on PrisonPlanet will clear things up a bit more.

Yes, I do think all of this has something to do with the 'end times' but not for the reasons that everyone assumes. My working theory at this point is that ultimately all religions must be demonized in order that 'saner minds may prevail'. In this fashion, a new religion can be fashioned out of the remnants of the old religions, globalism and human reason that we shall tentatively call the Alpha religion.

New Year Predictions - 2006

Yet another year has passed and we once again find ourselves reviewing what has happened and trying, many times in vain, to predict what will happen in the future. Now the nature of predictions begs that a few things be explained beforehand.

The more specific you are in your prediction, the more likely you will be wrong overall, but gain credibility if you are correct. This causes a bit of a sticky situation for me.

For instance, I can claim that there will be hurricanes in '06, but it hardly takes a genius to figure that out and barely is worth putting finger to keyboard to author. Yet if I claim the stock market will crash on January 22nd and it crashes on the 23rd, I am incorrect, at least to the nature of the timing.

So it is in this framework in which I will strive to be as accurate as possible in my prediction while striving to communicate the nature of what I believe is happening.

YEAR OF THE PHOENIX - Year 2006
While the year 2000 marked the suppose birth of the "Age of Aquarius", I believe that 2006 will be the year that sees the birth of the 'Global Conscience' in the "Year of the Phoenix". In ancient Egypt, the phoenix was a mystical bird that destroyed itself by fire every 500 years in order to rise from the ashes anew. 2005 has seen many images and concepts portraying this concept and I believe it will continue if not culminate in 2006.

It is important to understand why the phoenix is important to attain a "New World Order". Critical to this concept is the idea of sacrifice as nothing important can be obtained without first having one. For instance, in order to usher in the 'Age of Aquarius' of the new millennia a sacrifice needed to be offered.

When you consider the following murders for the past 100 years, their intent becomes disturbingly clear:

• US Abortion (1973-1999) - 40 million
• Chinese Abortion - (1990-1999) 100 million
• Mao Zedong 'Great Leap Forward' - 30 million
• Ottoman Empire Armenian Genocide (1915) - 1.5 million
• Khmer Rouge genocide - 1 million
• World War I - 15 million
• World War II - 50 Million
• Russian Civil War - 5 million
• Soviet Union purges under Lenin - 4 million
• Soviet Union purges under Stalin - 8 million
• Sino-Japanese war (1931-1942) - 10 million
• Afghanistan war (1974-1991) - 1 million
• Sudanese war (1983-2002) - 1 million
• Congo war (1998-2004) - 3.8 million

Just dealing with a bare scraping of some of the major conflicts of the last 100 years gives us a net result of 270 million dead. Somewhere along the line someone forgot to tell these yahoos what the true God of this world wants is self sacrifice. Starting to get the picture?

But in order to truly bring in the "New World Order" a sacrifice of a greater scale is going to be needed. I believe that we have yet to see the global war that will create the supposed level of sacrifice needed to attain this and that a much larger one will be required. However, there is definitely a time table for this and it is running short.

The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets featured a savior that was a phoenix and the next movie is entitled Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Undoubtedly one of 2006 biggest movies will be X-Men 3 which will feature the savior from X-Men 2, Jean Grey, as the reincarnated Dark Phoenix. It would seem that the populace's mass psyche is being prepared for something. But what?


INTRODUCTION OF 'THE PRINCE' - June 2006
A date that I am sure is getting to get much poo-pooing by the mass media is the quickly approaching 6-6-6 date, June(6), 6, 2006. The reference that is obviously being made here is to St. John's penning of Revelation 13:18 referring to the mark of the beast being 666. Note the movie release planned called "The Beast".

*** The Real Prediction - At this point I believe that much of this is designed to distract and dupe normal people into believing the Christian rhetoric about "the Beast", that is to say the anti-Christ, is nothing more than movie-induced fantasy. Never mind the fact that the prediction was made 2000 years ago.

I believe that if we get the awaited 'Phoenix Transformation' we will catch at least a high profile glimpse of new and an upcoming world leader who will stun the world with his seeming courage, morality and amazing solutions to the world's problems, specifically the issue of what to do with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

ISRAELI NATIONAL ELECTIONS - March 2006
For those of you that missed it earlier this year, Ariel Sharon (Israel's Prime Minister) formed a new political party named Kadima. This is forcing a new public election that will be held in March.

*** The Real Prediction - This is a difficult nut to crack. I believe that if Sharon runs for the position, he will win. Why? Who knows. The man sold his people out to a group of terrorist thugs in order to achieve peace.

But perhaps the bigger question is will he run if he is having the reported heart problems as a result of his minor stroke? I believe the answer is yes.

THE DOWNFALL OF RELIGION - Winter 2006-2007
The supposed problem behind the terrorist movement is being portrayed as radical 'fundamentalism'. With former Pope John Paul II and now current Pope Benedict XVI calling for a "New World Order"

*** The Real Prediction - With 'radicals' being blamed for most if not all of the terrorist acts in the world, Look for a start of a clarion call to 'harmonize' and 'unite' the world in their common belief in a creator. The problem? It's a set-up for a one-world religion that defies Satan and man.

BILL CLINTON, U.N. CHIEF - February or July 2006
*** The Real Prediction - Despite growing anti-American sentiment worldwide, Clinton's Tsunani and Hurricane relief work help peg him as a 'great humanitarian' and what more fitting a post than the head of the United Nations?

ESCALATING WARS - 2006
*** The Real Prediction - As Iraq-weariness begins to set in, Bush shifts strategy to going after Iran and/or Syria as another 'theater' in the global struggle on terror.

Another possibility is that a total surprise retaliation/attack, Russia attacks Israel but is totally defeated.

Yet on the horizon still looms North Korea and most likely China. Perhaps 2009?

TERRORISM - 2006
*** The Real Prediction - 2005 saw the 777 UK rail bombings and many small terrorist attacks in Bali, Jordan and Iraq. Potential targets include: The Dome on the Rock, Al Aqsa mosque, the Vatican, Chicago's Sears Tower, Italy's 2006 Winter Olympics and Superbowl XV.

AMERICAN DECLINE - 2006
With wars waging at home and abroad, America's global defeat seems imminent.

*** The Real Prediction -
* Economy - A further decline as the housing market continues to cool.

* Government - (Elections in November) - The Republicans will begin to pay for their outspoken arrogance. In representative seats. Watch for fallout from Republican scandal, oil prices, overspending, Constitutional encroachment, war fatigue, and Democratic whining to give the Dems control of the House.

* Immigration - New border wall gets defunded or stalled. Border violence escalates.

* Natural Disasters - Perhaps California will be hit by an earthquake, or the super-volcano will blow. Not so sure about this one. If another disaster happens, you can rest assured FEMA will serve some sort of critical role. (Namely spending money)

* Police State - A continuation of the denegration of the Constitution. RealID is integrated into RFID, CCTV nationwide as we begin to 'not tolerate' a lack of identification. Checkpoints begin to solidify into border controls/anti-terrorism measures.

* Terrorism - With 5 years since 9/11 and 6 years between 9/11 and OKC, the number 11 (years) seems to suggest this could be the year for 'The big one' that we have been hearing about since 9/11.

GAS & CRUDE PRICES - April 2006

*** The Real Prediction - Look for the trend that has been established over the last few years to continue. Gas starts to head upwards as it looks for equalization with overseas markets. Overseas, the price starts heading up to with $6 a gallon in the U.K. and much of Europe and close to if not just over $4 a gallon here in the U.S.

Clinton Positions for U.N. Post

Clinton sounds off by breaking longstanding tradition of ex-President's non-commenting on sitting President's policy thereby effectively positioning himself for the head United Nations position.

According to the report, Clinton stated the Bush administration had decided to invade Iraq

"virtually alone and before UN inspections were completed, with no real urgency, no evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction."

Way to follow the times Clinton. We established this well over a year ago.

Clinton said there had been a "heroic but so far unsuccessful" effort to put together an constitution that would be universally supported in Iraq.

Talk about stating the obvious. But why do you suppose this is? Do you think it has anything to do with the Clinton Global Initiative?

The Real Effect

He seems to be following the standard issue progression:

1. Identify or selectively 'notice' a given problem publicly.
2. Issue statements to the press condemning the problem, invoking the name of The People in order to legitimize your stance.
3. Create a perceived groundswell of opposition to the problem through manipulation of public opinion via the mainstream media.
4. Announce that The People will no longer tolerate such behavior and enact a given "solution".
