Nostradamus, Obama, McCain and Mabus: A Digression

Search terms Nostradamus, Obama, McCain, Mabus and the antichrist connected do end up in confusing results as there are many rumors and articles out on the internet that have too many sites and sides supported. In this section I shall find time besides from politics for an intentional change of subject: Could it possibly be that Michel de Nostradamus (1503-1566) had a prophecy referring to Barack H. Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois and leading candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election? Very unlikely, while a direct Nostradamus prophecy mentions John McCain »the elder one«, but: Even though I couldn't find anything specific pointing to Barack Obama himself and his name within Michele de Nostradame's prophecies, there is indeed one political scenario anyway, which somehow could directly connect Nostradamus and Obama through a man named »Mabus«. Note: It is widely believed that Nostradamus calls the third Antichrist to come by the name of Mabus and several projects work more or less hard to find out in time, who that Mabus might be.

Nostradamus Obama McCainThroughout his last 11 years in the 16th century the French mystic and physician Nostradamus created and published 900 verses describing them to be predictions about future events: Nostradamus claimed his visions came to him as moving pictures with colour and sound on the surface of a waterbowl which he used during occult practices. In fear of persecution by church and state, inquisition and torture, Michel de Nostradamus wrote down his experiences in a very own code, a mixture of Old French, Latin, Italian, Greek and provincial dialects, while original names were changed e.g. into a form of anagrams.

In medias res, 2008: Nostradamus wrote about three Antichrists to come. The first two Antichrists he predicted are believed to have been the politicians Napoleon and Hitler. Let us now look at prophecies of Nostradamus's associated with the third Antichrist:

Century II quatrain 62

Mabus will soon die and there will come
A dreadful destruction of people and animals,
Suddenly vengeance will be revealed,
Hundred, hands, thirst and hunger when the comet will pass.


While there are many and wild suggestions available on who might be that Mabus, there is one Mr. Mabus existing in Barack Obama's relations: Raymond Edwin "Ray" Mabus, Jr. (* 11th of October 1948) is an American businessman and political leader from Mississippi, who works on international business matters, is involved in political campaigns, and serves on various corporate and charitable boards. Previously, he served as Governor of Mississippi between 1988 and 1992 as a Democrat and as Ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1994 to 1996. So Mr. Mabus is not only involved in international business, but in addition he also and frequently assists political campaigns, in Mississippi and nationally: Mr. Mabus endorsed in May 2007 U.S. Senator Barack Hussein Obama for president, and is serving as a senior adviser to the ongoing campaign.

Nostradamus's prophecy speeks about Mabus to "soon die". So what could happen in 2008 to one day make us believe (once more) that things just happened as predicted hundreds of years ago by Nostradamus? An assassination attempt on Barack Obama, in which his bystanding friend Raymond Edwin »Ray« Mabus, Jr. dies nearby and soon, »suddenly vengeance will be revealed« by »the black and angry« - civil war breaks out in America 2008, that would be it.

Century VI quatrain 33

His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.


Whoever is »he« and behind the assassination attempt, »the black and angry one will make him repent of it« - and it doesn't leave place for Mr. Mabus to be the third Antichrist since he therefore dies too soon.

All I say is: This is a scenario that, if ever happened, will clearly be referred to Nostradamus's prophecy, which on the other hand claims about the next president that U.S. Senator John McCain (born August 29, 1936), the elder one, will win the election in 2008.

According to conspiracy theories and Nostradamus's prophecies all together we should witness this soon in 2008: John McCain and his choice of Vice President must replace George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as U.S. Presidents 2008 in the White House to secure further cover-ups (9/11, etc.) and the course of it all (Iraq, etc.). Since Obama becomes a strong favorite in the polls an assassination attempt is launched in which Obama's friend Mabus dies. The outbreak of civil war threatens America while McCain wins the election anyway, because people don't want to see Obama as a commander in chief. Obama feels cheated, demonstrations throughout the country take place and calls for revolution meet violence, developing into civil war with the army soon stepping in.

The most easiest way to avoid all this would be have been to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2008, I guess - if you don't want too much »change« and all kind of people to even try to assassinate Barack Hussein Obama.

End of digression.

Conspiracy: Obama, Farrakhan, Black Pope, Mabus, Antichrist and Nostradamus in 2008

Obama and Black Pope?
Radical anti-semists and racist scholars like Al Sharpton and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan (National Representative of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Nation of Islam) are allowed to do what is forbidden to all of us: They can believe in a new Messiah and a hidden islamic agenda when it comes to Obama's run on the White House, and Barack Hussein's pastor Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. expresses admiration for them all.

However, we shouldn't and mustn't even try to remember how much is one plus one.

While political correctness doesn't have to be correct per se, I find it quite remarkable, that people like Farrakhan, who lived a long experienced political life, should all over sudden be totally wrong when it comes to their very own subject and candidate Obama. Why should I believe they don't know nothing about the guy they support?

The Nation of Islam under the leadership of their Minister Louis Farrakhan is the catalyst for growth and development of Islam in America. When after some long nights of thinking Farrakhan, the master of his subject, now comes out to endorse Mr. Barack Hussein Obama and »Change!«, then I and his most tasteless followers should trust him to know exactly what he is doing: Taking the presidential candidate's middle name for guaranteed while the rest of the world is ordered to ignore it, eventually better adviced in these post 9/11 times during an ongoing Iraq war.

A win-win situation for a possibly hidden agenda and for Barack (translate: flash of lightning), whose names are so close to Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden as his social connections are not too far away from any understandable suspicions: With Louis Farrakhan there is a clear message out for certain voters and a golden opportunity for Obama to seemingly political correct distance himself from any possible allegations that have been there anyway.

Now, with that said: Is it too much to ask for, to just not be forbidden to recognize the middle name of Barack Hussein Obama as existing? After all, some of his most enthusiastic supporters are very political people and could without mistake know what they do and for sure not mean harm to their own course and followers, don't they?!

As for my prediction, I and Nostradamus have to be happy with the latest developments, which serve as forseen the Republican John McCain more than any Antichrist, where the Democratic candidates and their supporters hurt and embarrass themselves in internal warfare, with the Clintons becoming increasingly less relevant as an upcoming McCain-Obama battle already captures lots of attention. But B. Hussein Obama and H. Clinton have one more round, next Tuesday, before she will have to concede defeat - unless she manages to surprise everyone yet again. To await that gives me some time to reread Nostradamus' predictions about the Black Pope, to find out where Farrakhan fits in.

Republican contender John McCain's campaign team is preparing files with incriminating information about Democratic candidate Barack Obama. McCain's advisers are eagerly looking forward to the great debate between these two candidates, in good hope that we will never have to meet again with that fat man Michael Moore presenting us one day just another homemade picture about conspiracy theories and all kinds of long known connections between a U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama, Minister Louis Farrakhan, the Black Pope, Al Sharpton, Ray Mabus, the Antichrist and Nostradamus or whoever.

Overview: U.S. presidential prediction 2008

Now, what does all the before said has to do with me and this weblog? It effects my prediction and did so from the beginning. As I mentioned, I have no political motivation in the whole U.S. presidential election scenario - I won't be voting or running for president anyway. But I do have my desire to continue getting bets alright for sure.

Remember, there was a need for George W. Bush to stay another four years in office last time he won elections. To the surprise of all he decided back then to make Dick Cheney once more his running mate. And even though his chances to win the election in November 2004 were like sero, he managed anyway. Because those behind him succeeded. We all, including the current President himself, know that Mr. Bush's intellectual abilities are somehow very limited, which is most certainly not his personal fault. He alone couldn't even win an election if he was to be the only candidate around, I guess. But those behind him could, they had to and they did it against all odds.

These same people need now a President McCain and a proper Vice President in order to stay protected from criminal court procedures after 2008, where an Obama, the Clintons or even any Republican of not their own (like Huckabee, e.g.) could and would open the whole 9/11 case wide again if by mistake taking over power in the White House.

I trust them to get their job done more than I trust the American voters and that is why I President McCain right away.

So what's next? As for now John McCain can't afford to name his running mate in public, there are righter moments to come. He must win time and first of all much more general support within his own party. He will announce his choice not too soon but more likely as late as possible. And that might take quite a while. Only when there is a point of no return for every Republican he will make his surprising announcement, following a Giuliani-styled advice from 2nd January this year: »A vice president has to be a partner in the administration. The vice president has to know everything that's going on, just in case.«


Other things which play a role in my overall prediction:

The late announcement from John McCain about his running mate is a strategic possibility for him to keep the Republicans in the media instead of leaving it all to the Democrats and their internal warfare over the next months. McCain might even tell that he won't make up his mind until the Democrats have a nominee.

Voter turnout on election day is a key issue and a weak point for Republicans so far; a smart choice of the VP is the greatest chance to bring them out anyway.

If the Democrats bring in any order both Clintons and the highflying Barack Obama plus Ophrah into the general elections, John McCain will have to bring a waterprooved name with him.

Another boost for predicted President McCain

predicted President John McCain
As former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney drops out of the 2008 U.S. presidential election race, »suspending his campaign«, there is no doubt anymore: John McCain is the Republican nominee for the general elections. That finally takes my prediction officially a huge step forward while Hillary Rodman Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama are still out there for a longer qualification fight, internal warfare that is, just to cost each other a few more feathers, I guess... until April.

U.S. Democrats, as enthusiastic as they're campaigning, must be a bit jealous to see the Republicans settle their nomination in unity and early without messing around too much.

shake handsAs for Mitt Romney, who served the best news possible to John McCain, Nostradamus and me today, I must admit he impressed me a lot. Not only as a look-a-like candidate to former U.S. President George H. W. Bush, but also as a politician, a campaigner and the gentleman he is. However, he isn't the predicted and therefore can't be president for now; so sorry. But: I will very much consider him for any future prediction, I might in fact start to design a prediction weblog for him right away, if you excuse me...

With Nostradamus 2008 between predictions and true US Presidents

The front-runners for the general presidential race seem to be elected as predicted, even though the race is far from over yet, thanks to procedures and those who don't want to have it otherwise. Most votes in primaries and caucuses to help select Democratic and Republican nominees for president are in and trends are hard to ignore. Some do so anyway. Winners are afraid to be mistaken somehow and losers too much in desperate hope. But one fact nobody can deny: John McCain is the big winner so far, untouchable I would say. Am I just lucky that Master Nostradamus endorsed my prediction about the next US President just in time, somewhen between 1555 and 2008?
Whatever one thinks about Nostradamus's prophecy I wish he would've tipped us off a bit for a Vice President prediction - but he didn't, not with a single line or word.

Back to Super-Tuesday: Who else was super besides John McCain, Nostradamus and me? The Clintons did their part I guess, not giving me a reason to change yesterday's mind. But not all are so very satisfied with themselves and some of those aren't at all worth to be listened to today, I guess. Take for example Michael Medved's column in USA TODAY, which I just had to skip to not read it all. He started with »The only safe prediction about campaign 2008 is that no prediction is safe« and it didn't sound like the smallest chance for a Happy End; maybe I read it later.
Next I skipped was Lindsey Boerma; she still asks herself who would make the front-runner for the Democrats, just to answer it under her »superprediction«-url with »My opinion? It won’t be Clinton.« Oh well. Let her be right or wrong, who cares - checking with my blog's subject I must admit it is really not of my business, is it?!

So as for now I'm only happy with front-runner John McCain: Elected as predicted, next please! Which brings me back to the Vice President candidates - there are still no bookmakers' odds available when it comes to decent bets on the 2008 US Vice President as good things seem to take their time.

McCain wins in Florida and...

McCain wins as predicted


Okay, if you watch my blog since a while and as you should, then all this is no news for you now, but lets have it anyway: John McCain defeated as predicted the former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in a tight Florida battle that gives him critical momentum heading into critical February 5 "Super Tuesday" voting in 21 states with Republican contests. John McCain scored a hard-fought win in Florida's presidential primary on Tuesday, seizing the front-runner's role in a heated Republican race, ending one-time favorite Rudy Giuliani's White House bid.

John McCain predicted US president
CHARLESTON, South Carolina (CNN) -- Senator John McCain of Arizona did win the important South Carolina Republican primary. A big step for the allegedly underdog, another small step in the right direction for our prediction - way to go.
