Hurricane or Tsunami Will Hit New York's Long Island. Earthquake Will Hit New York City

Hurricane or Tsunami Will Hit New York's Long Island. Earthquake Will Hit New York City
Bill Tenuto
June 29, 2005

Either a hurricane or a tsunami generated in the Atlantic Ocean will hit hard against the South Shore of New York's Long Island, flooding much of Long Island and parts of Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island. This hurricane or tsunami also will hit parts of New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island as well as Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island in Massachusetts.

If a hurricane strikes first (and I perceive there could be more than one hurricane), I would interpret the hurricane (or hurricanes) as a kind of warning sign from the sea, signaling that, as other forces build and events unfold over the course of time, a tsunami could sweep through the region, eroding the shoreline, rearranging the configuration of the land and flooding parts of New York City and much of Long Island in a matter of minutes.

As I write this, I am viewing a picture--a vision--of New York City. In the vision, the middle of Manhattan Island looks like it is caving in. The middle of Manhattan drops downward in the shape of a "V." I see a bright, white glow emitted from this cave in. This bright light seems to fill all of New York City, and I can feel the strength of this light. This light, I sense, is symbolic of the future development of unity and community for the people of New York.

This light symbolizing the future development of unity and community for the people of New York may be associated in a profound way with the image of New York caving in. The cave in image suggests to me something which I have felt for many years: one day, New York City will experience an earthquake. If an earthquake does hit New York, perhaps this event, as is so often the case when disaster strikes, will bring with it the light of compassion which will awaken the people of New York to the value of kindness and unite New Yorkers in a heartfelt bond of community.

I feel we are on the threshold of an onslaught of natural disasters which will strike not only in New York, but also all around the planet. The lesson of kindness has been, up to now, a hard lesson for humanity to learn, but it has become a lesson we must learn if we are to survive as a species through these upcoming dangers, and ultimately if we are to evolve into community with one another and into balance with the earth. I feel we human beings now have reached a critical period in our development during which the pain and suffering brought on by a series of upcoming disasters will awaken from the depths of our consciousness a collective desire to be compassionate and kind. If, as I believe, we have chosen this specific path by which to learn the value of kindness, then we have chosen a harsh and difficult path indeed. If this is the chosen path by which we will prepare ourselves for our upcoming evolutionary leap, then the suffering and tears brought on by a series of future disasters inevitably will serve as our teachers.

I believe the upcoming disasters I foresee are meant to wear down the resistance of our human will until only compassion and kindness remain. Then we can and will evolve literally into the light and re-acquire paradise in the form of the new humanity on the New Earth. (See "The Vision of Future News--To My Friends," Future News, Home Page, left column, July 2004 archive.)

I feel the specific disasters I have described above will take place over a period of time and in a sequence of events. Although I do not know in what order this sequence of events will take place, I feel that conditions now are right for this sequence of events to begin.

Predictions of Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions Around the World

Predictions of Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions Around the World
Bill Tenuto
June 22, 2005

I feel that earthquakes or volcanic eruptions will occur in the following locations:

1. There will be an earthquake in Japan on the Island of Hokkaido or just north of the Island of Hokkaido in the Sea of Okhotsk.
   
2. In Japan, Mount Fuji will again become active. Lava will flow from Mount Fuji.
   
3. A volcano in Antarctica will become active.
   
4. A volcano will become active in Western Guatemala or across the border in Southern Mexico. There also will be an earthquake in western Guatemala or across the border in Southern Mexico.
   
5. There will be an earthquake under the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Ecuador, west of Quito.
   
6. There will be an earthquake and an eruption of molten lava under the Atlantic Ocean. The location of this earthquake and eruption of lava will be at a point south of Iceland and west of Ireland.
   
7. There will be an earthquake in the area near Kuala Lampur, Malaysia, Sumatra, Brunei and the Strait of Malacca.
   
8. There will be increased volcanic activity in Hawaii.
   
9. There will be an earthquake under the Black Sea or nearby in northern Turkey, near Istanbul or Ankara.
   
10. Tremors from an earthquake will roll through Southeastern China.
    
11. An earthquake will strike in Baja, in Northwestern Mexico, or nearby in Southern California. This earthquake will be felt in Tijuana, San Diego and parts of Arizona.
    
12. An earthquake will occur within the area of an imaginary triangle connecting Springfield, Illinois; St. Louis, Missouri; and Bowling Green, Kentucky.
    
13. There will be an earthquake in the Four Corners area where the states of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado meet. This earthquake will occur within the area of an imaginary triangle connecting the Glen Canyon/Lake Powell area in Utah; Monticello, Utah; and Shiprock, New Mexico. Located within this imaginary triangle are Mexican Hat, Utah; Bluff, Utah; and Monument Valley.
    
14. An earthquake will occur in California, north of Sacramento, within the area of an imaginary triangle connecting Yuba City, Oroville and Chico.
    
15. An earthquake will occur in California within the area of an imaginary triangle connecting Cape Mendocino, South Fork and Leggett. Garberville, California is located on the edge of this triangle.
    
16. An earthquake will occur under the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California, approximately to the west of Big Sur, San Luis Obispo, San Simeon, Morro Bay and Point Concepion.

More Earthquakes To Hit California

Future News--More Earthquakes To Hit California
Bill Tenuto
June 19, 2005

Prediction For Another Earthquake To Strike Southern California
An earthquake of about 7.0 magnitude or greater will hit Southern California soon. It probably will strike in an area delineated by a triangle drawn between Los Angeles, San Bernadino and Bakersfield. This earthquake will be felt in Los Angeles, San Bernadino and Bakersfield as well as in the smaller cities within the area of the triangle including Ontario, Pasadena, San Fernando, Palmdale, Lancaster and Mojave. Santa Barbara also will feel this earthquake.

A Geological Shift
In "Magnitude 4.9 Earthquake Shakes Southern California," I wrote:

"I am, however, concerned that more frequent and more powerful earthquakes are on their way. When I was informed of the Indian Ocean earthquake which occurred on December 26, 2004, I remarked to the people with me, 'It has started.' "

"The significance of the Indian Ocean earthquake stands out for me as a prominent marker in geological time."

An article published last month in the publication, Science, reported on the Indian Ocean earthquake, known to seismologists as the Sumatran-Andaman earthquake:

"Dramatic new data from the December 26, 2004, Sumatran-Andaman earthquake that generated deadly tsunamis show that the event created the longest fault rupture and the longest duration of faulting observed, according to three reports by an international group of seismologists published Thursday [May 19, 2005] in the journal 'Science.' "

" 'Normally, a small earthquake might last less than a second; a moderate sized earthquake might last a few seconds. This earthquake lasted between 500 and 600 seconds [between approximately eight and ten minutes],' said Charles Ammon, associate professor of geosciences at Penn State University."

"The quake, centered in the Indian Ocean, also created the biggest gash in the earth's seabed ever observed, nearly 800 miles. That's as long as a drive from Los Angeles, California, to Portland, Oregon."

" 'Globally, this earthquake was large enough to basically vibrate the whole planet as much as half an inch, or a centimeter. Everywhere we had instruments, we could see motions,' Ammon Said."

" 'I think it was a humbling experience for everyone that analyzed the earthquake,' said Thorne Lay, professor of earth sciences and director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California, Santa Cruz."

" 'There will be more earthquakes of this type, and with more humans exposed to the hazard there will be more devastating losses of life. We hope to develop technologies that can minimize that loss,' Lay said."
(Marsha Walton, "Scientists: Sumatra quake longest ever recorded," CNN.com, May 20, 2005.) http://www.cnn.com

"The shift of mass and the massive release of energy slightly altered the earth's rotation. The exact amount is yet undetermined, but theoretical models suggest the earthquake shortened the length of a day by 2.68 microseconds. It also caused the earth to minutely 'wobble' on its axis by about 2.5 cm (1 inch)..."
(Can be viewed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake)

A New Pattern of Earthquake Frequency
I feel that when the Indian Ocean earthquake struck, we crossed a geological timeline into a different and new period of increased seismic activity. According to Thorne Lay, quoted above, "There will be more earthquakes of this type...." If the earth has in fact entered into a new period in which we possibly can expect more powerful earthquakes to occur more frequently, what does this mean for California and other areas along the San Andreas Fault?

My sense of this is that earthquakes will strike in California more frequently than has been the case up to now, and some of these earthquakes may be exceptionally powerful. These earthquakes may be coming very soon. I believe these earthquakes will strike in groups or clusters, with one coming after the next. After a cluster of earthquakes strikes, there will be a period of quiet and calm followed by another cluster of earthquakes. I believe this pattern has begun and will increase in intensity as it continues into the future, with the duration of periods of quiet and calm decreasing and the frequency and the magnitude of the earthquakes increasing.

Last fall's seismic activity near Mount Ranier and under Mt. Saint Helens (See "Earthquake Shakes Mount Ranier. Future News Predicts Devastating Eruption," Future News, November Archive, November 10, 2004.) and last December's Indian Ocean earthquake suggest the possibility that pressure from the molten magma under the earth's crust could be building up, and the earth's fault lines, including the San Andreas Fault, therefore may be under increasing stress. The Pacific Tectonic Plate now may be pushing against the North American Plate with a greater force, and the break up of the earth's crust may be accelerating all along the San Andreas Fault and related fault lines.

This would mean that a series of many earthquakes is on its way for certain locations in Northwestern Mexico as well as California. This series of earthquakes probably will strike in clusters, and these earthquakes probably will occur in places on or near a line extending approximately from the northern end of the Gulf of California, through Baja California in Mexico, then into California in the U.S. through El Centro, Palm Springs, Riverside, San Bernadino, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Francisco and northward.

Magnitude 4.9 Earthquake Shakes Southern California, Verifying Future News Prediction

Future News--Magnitude 4.9 Earthquake Shakes Southern California, Verifying Future News Prediction
Bill Tenuto
June 18, 2005

The Vision
On June 15, 2005, just after two earthquakes struck California in the same week, I wrote "Earthquake Will Shake Southern California." In it I said:

"The moment I focused, a feeling came over me suggesting that another earthquake would strike Southern California, perhaps soon."

"To find where the earthquake will be felt, I looked at a map of the United States. I was immediately drawn to Laguna Beach, California, a city just south of Los Angeles. This tells me that the earthquake will be felt in Laguna Beach and will strike in or near Laguna Beach."

The Confirmation
On June 16, 2005 at 1:53pm PT, the earthquake that I had predicted less than 24 hours earlier shook a wide area of Southern California. It was a magnitude 4.9.

Immediately after the earthquake struck, CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports began with "Breaking News" coverage:

"The epicenter is about 70 miles or so east of Los Angeles in Yucaipa," Wolf Blitzer reported. "It's the third earthquake to hit Southern California this week."

The CNN News Ticker on the bottom of the screen said, "Earthquake was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego and in counties to the east."

Laguna Beach is located about 50 miles south of Los Angeles and about halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. The residents of Laguna Beach would therefore have "felt" the earthquake, and the earthquake did strike "near" Laguna Beach, as I had foreseen when I looked at my map.

Also, in "Earthquake Will Shake Southern California," I had made two references to point out that the force of the earthquake would move in a sideways direction.

In the first of these references I wrote:

"The pillar is positioned under the roadway. The pillar is subjected to a force that moves it sideways."

In the second reference I wrote:

"Now I 'see' that the concrete pillar symbolically transforms into an object that looks like a smokestack. The ground under the object that looks like a smokestack moves sideways."

The June 16th earthquake actually did generate a sideways or horizontal force. Someone living in Yucaipa at the earthquake's epicenter confirmed this, as reported on the CNN News Ticker:

" 'Earthquake caused mostly a horizontal shaking, almost like someone pushing [the] side of the house,' Yucaipa resident told CNN."

These news reports about what actually took place verify the above predictions from "Earthquake Will Shake Southern California"; but other predictions in the article seem not to have happened.

The CNN News Ticker said:

"...no reports of injury or significant damage."

Yet in my vision I saw damage and I saw people who appeared to be sick. For example, I wrote:

"The pillar is subjected to a force that moves it sideways. ...the section of roadway above the pillar is weakened and damaged."

"The ground under the object that looks like a smokestack moves sideways. ...This may be symbolic of a power generating station that will fail, and an indication of power outages occurring where the earthquake will be felt."

"I can smell that some kind of gas or chemical will be released when this earthquake occurs. …The people I see appear to feel nauseous."

"I can 'see' a young healthcare worker, perhaps a doctor.... He has an optimistic look on his face. He is smiling."

"It looks like a fire will take place which will burn down this commercial plant or facility."

None of these predicted events happened. Why?

Interpreting the Metaphors (For some background on this, see Future News, Home Page, left column, "About Me, Bill Tenuto, 'How My Gift of Foresight Works.' ")
With regard to the pillar and the smokestack, these images were shown to me as metaphors to point out to me that the force of the earthquake would move sideways. They were not meant to be literal images of earthquake damage.

The image of the young healthcare worker, perhaps a doctor, who was smiling with an optimistic look on his face, also was a metaphor. It was meant to show me there would be no injuries from this earthquake.

Although the facts support the validity of interpreting these metaphorical images in this way, this does not explain why the other details I predicted, specifically about the fire damage to a facility and the people who appeared to be sick, did not occur.

Details in Other Images
One possibility is the other images I saw, depicting damage and sickness, simply were wrong. My own impressions and images may have filtered through, adding inaccurate details to what was otherwise an accurate vision.

Another possibility is the damage and sickness I foresaw may describe the results of another earthquake which will strike somewhere in California in the near future.

We can only wait and see what may happen and hope for the best.

I am, however, concerned that more frequent and more powerful earthquakes are on their way. When I was informed about the Indian Ocean earthquake which occurred on December 26, 2004, I remarked to the people with me, "It has started."

The significance of the Indian Ocean earthquake stands out for me as a prominent marker in geological time. I feel that when the Indian Ocean earthquake struck, we crossed a geological timeline into a different and new period of increased seismic activity, not just for California, but for the entire planet. I will have more to say about this as I continue to write.

How this new period of seismic activity will affect California--specifically Southern California--will be the topic of my next article.

Earthquake Will Shake Southern California

Future News--Earthquake Will Shake Southern California
Bill Tenuto
June 15, 2005

Today, while I was looking through my computer files, my attention was drawn immediately and unexpectedly to a short, unpublished article I had written one year ago about an earthquake prediction I had made for a group of friends. The earthquake I predicted turned out to be a moderate 5.2 magnitude and occurred on June 15, 2004--exactly one year ago today--under the Pacific Ocean, about 40 miles west-southwest of San Diego, California. No major damage was reported.

As I once again read what I had written about that earthquake, it struck me that just last Sunday--June 12, 2005--a moderate 5.6 earthquake hit Southern California about 20 miles south of Palm Springs; and yesterday--June 14, 2005--a more powerful 7.2 earthquake occurred under the Pacific Ocean, about 300 miles northwest of Sacramento, California. http://earthquake.usgs.gov

When events come to my awareness in a sequence like this, they serve as signals alerting me to focus on something.

The moment I focused, a feeling came over me suggesting that another earthquake will strike Southern California, perhaps soon. I do not know how powerful this earthquake will be. I am somewhat concerned about property and more importantly about the safety of the people in the vicinity of the earthquake. I can "smell" that some kind of gas or chemical will be released when this earthquake occurs. This will be unhealthy. I can see people putting their hands over their mouths, with looks of shock and surprise on their faces. The people I see appear to feel nauseous.

Also, I "see" a support beam--it looks like a concrete pillar--that is part of the structure supporting an elevated roadway. This pillar is positioned under the roadway. The pillar is subjected to a force that moves it sideways. A truck is involved. The truck either strikes the pillar or is struck by the pillar, and the section of roadway above the pillar is weakened and damaged. It looks like a tanker truck which carries either fuel or chemicals is involved. This may be the source of the gas or chemical smell I mentioned above. I "see" heavy equipment removing the rubble, smoke rising and emergency vehicles. Some people are being treated for coughing, choking and breathing problems. I "see" a young healthcare worker, perhaps a doctor, dressed in light green scrubs. He has wavy, light-colored hair and blue eyes. He has an optimistic look on his face. He is smiling. He seems to be saying to me that the people in need of medical treatment are receiving good care.

Now I "see" that the concrete pillar symbolically transforms into an object that looks like a smokestack. The ground under the object that looks like a smokestack moves sideways. This jeopardizes the integrity of some kind of commercial plant or facility. This may be symbolic of a power generating station that will fail, and an indication of power outages occurring in the area where the earthquake will be felt. Also, something is wrong with the air over this commercial plant or facility. Something dark is hanging over it. It looks like a fire will take place which will burn down this commercial plant or facility.

To find out where the earthquake will be felt, I looked at a map of the United States. I was immediately drawn to Laguna Beach, California, a city just south of Los Angeles. This tells me that this earthquake will be felt in Laguna Beach and will strike in or near Laguna Beach.

China Builds Up Military for Armed Conflict with U.S.

Future News--China Builds Up Military for Armed Conflict with U.S.
Bill Tenuto
June 15, 2005

In October 2003, I made the following predictions about the start of World War III and the entry of China into that war:*

"If we do not change our future through collective action, then the start of World War III is inevitable. …Armies from many Western and Middle Eastern nations will amass and confront each other. …Both sides will ultimately resort to using short-range nuclear weapons against each other's armed forces on the battlefield. …Nuclear fallout will drift outward from the Middle East. Fighting eventually will spread from the mountains to the deserts to the sea"

"The developed countries of the world will at this point insist on a cease-fire. Because of the unimaginable and unique potential for a war of untold destruction, both sides will accept a cease-fire. For a period of time, this cease-fire will hold."

"I sense, however, that this cease-fire will be broken by some event which I cannot yet decipher and can only vaguely 'see.' I feel 'guided' in a very general way to conclude that suddenly and without warning World War III will start up again, expanding and escalating into a second phase when another nation enters the conflict. For a reason or reasons as yet unknown to me, this other nation appears to be China."

"It will be helpful to re-visit at a later date the reasons why China will enter into World War III"

"When China enters the conflict, the U.S.A. will by then have over-committed too many of its troops to the fighting in the Middle East."

In 2003, when I first wrote the above predictions, China and the U.S. were forging increasingly stronger economic ties and all seemed well between the two countries. I could not at that time understand why I foresaw China involved in a war with the U.S. Now, in 2005, new facts have surfaced to explain why China would confront the U.S. and enter into World War III.

The relationship between China and the U.S. is rapidly changing. China has established new goals greatly different from the trade goals Americans are used to. China's new goals call for it to fully secure its ocean-going oil shipments from the Middle East to China while simultaneously positioning itself militarily and diplomatically to gain dominant power over the U.S. in Asia.

The balance of this article quotes reliable news sources which support that China has been working steadily to reach these goals.

In a New York Times article published on April 8, 2005, Mr. Robert Karniol, an Asian specialist at Jane's
Defense Weekly is quoted:

"Mr. Karniol said, 'The Chinese understand that if their ambition is to become the dominant power in Asia--well, who can disrupt that? The United States and Japan.' "
(Jim Yardley and Thom Shanker, "Chinese Navy Buildup Gives Pentagon New Worries," The New York Times, April 8, 2005.) www.nytimes.com

This article goes on to say:

"At a time when the American military is consumed with operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, global terrorism and the threat of nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran, China is presenting a new and strategically different security concern to America, as well as Japan and Taiwan, in the western Pacific, Pentagon military officials say."

"…China's most recent military white paper also alarmed American policy makers because it mentioned the United States for the first time since 1998. It stated that the American presence in the region 'complicated security factors.' "

"…China now has a modern fleet of submarines, including new Russian-made nuclear subs that can fire missiles from a submerged position."
(Yardley and Shanker, The New York Times, April 8, 2005.) www.nytimes.com

While China and the U.S. have continued to do business with one another, China has been building up its military and has announced, as quoted in the above New York Times article, that the American presence in East Asia has "complicated security factors."

Here is more about China's military build up:

"Many Pentagon analysts believe China's military buildup is taking place faster than earlier estimates, and that China will use its power to project force and undermine U.S. and regional security."

"China is building up military forces and setting up bases along sea lanes from the Middle East to protect its power overseas and protect its oil shipments, according to a previously undisclosed report for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld."

"The internal report stated that China is adopting a 'string of pearls' strategy of bases and diplomatic ties stretching from the Middle East to southern China that includes a new naval base under construction at the Pakistani port of Gwadar."

"South China Sea: Chinese activities in the region are less about territorial claims than 'protecting or denying the transit of tankers through the South China Sea,' the report said."

" 'China…is looking to build a blue-water navy to control the sea lanes, but also to develop undersea mines and missile capabilities to deter the potential disruption of its energy supplies from potential threats, including the U.S. Navy, especially in the case of a conflict with Taiwan,' the report said."

"Chinese weapons for sea-lane control include new warships equipped with long-range cruise missiles, submarines and undersea mines, the report said."

"China believes the U.S. military will disrupt China's energy imports in any conflict over Taiwan, and sees the United States as an unpredictable country that violates others' sovereignty and wants to 'encircle' China, the report said."

"Eighty percent of China's oil currently passes through the Strait of Malacca, and the report states that China believes the sea area is 'controlled by the U.S. Navy.' "

"Beijing's leaders see access to oil and gas resources as vital to economic growth and fear that stalled economic growth could cause instability and ultimately the collapse of their nation of 1.3 billion people."
(Bill Gertz, "China Builds Up Strategic Sea Lanes," The Washington Times, January 18, 2005.) www.washtimes.com/national

In another article, Bill Gertz wrote:

" 'Improved Chinese capabilities threaten U.S. forces in the region,' CIA Director Porter J. Goss told a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Wednesday [February 16, 2005]."

" 'China continues to develop more robust, survivable nuclear-armed missiles, as well as conventional capabilities for use in a regional conflict,' he said."

"Vice Adm. Lowell Jacoby, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said to the panel that China is adding numbers and more capable ballistic missiles to its arsenal to 'improve their survivability and war-fighting capabilities, enhance their coercion and deterrence value, and overcome ballistic missile defense systems.' "

"The officials' testimony shows an apparent effort to define the dangers posed by China's rising military power, which critics said have been minimized in the past, in part so as not to offend the country with markets coveted by U.S. businesses."

"Sen. Susan Collins, Maine Republican, …asked Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld…about Mr. Goss' testimony…"

"Mr. Rumsfeld said China is boosting defense spending by 'double-digit' rates and most of the build up is being carried out in secret."

Syria Test-Fires Missiles

Future News--Syria Test-Fires Missiles
Bill Tenuto
June 9, 2005

I posted "Nuclear War: A Futurist's View, The Bible Code, Mayan Prophecy and My Vision of World War III" on the Future News site on December 2, 2004. In that article (which, for brevity, I call "Nuclear War"*), I made the following prediction:

"What I foresee is one possible future which will bring, in 2006, the deployment and use of nuclear weapons in the Middle East. I foresee that at least one nuclear weapon will be launched from Syria. The target of this missile will be somewhere within Israel."

One June 3, 2005, the following report appeared in The New York Times:

"Syria test-fired three scud missiles last Friday [May 27, 2005], including one that broke up over Turkish territory and showered missile parts down onto unsuspecting Turkish farmers, Israeli military officials said."

"These were the first such Syrian missile tests since 2001, the Israelis said, and were part of a Syrian missile development project designed, the Israelis contend, to deliver air-burst chemical weapons."

"…the Israelis noted that the test was the first time Syria had fired a missile over another country--a member of NATO--when Damascus could easily have moved its mobile launchers to the center of the country to avoid a flight over Turkey altogether."

"The Israeli officials said they interpreted the launchings as a gesture of defiance to the United States and the United Nations by the Syrian president, Bashir al-Assad…."

"Israeli officials, who are familiar with the intelligence but asked that their names and departments not be identified, decided to publicize the tests in part because they were puzzled by the American silence about them, and because Israel sees them as part of a troubling pattern of behavior by Mr. Assad."
(Steven Erlanger, "Syria Test-Fires 3 Scud Missiles, Israelis Say," The New York Times, June 3, 2005.) www.nytimes.com.

To reiterate, the above New York Times article states that the launching of these three missiles was part of "a Syrian missile development project." Perhaps Syria is flexing its muscles and nothing more, but if Syria has been undertaking a missile development project, it is possible that Syria is now preparing to strike Israel with the "air-burst chemical weapons" mentioned in the article. This in itself would be a horrible event.

But there is yet another possibility. The same New York Times article quoted above also says:

"Israel--which occupies the Golan Heights, taken from Syria in the 1967 war--is particularly concerned about the Syrian missile program and the Syrian hold, now shaken, over bordering Lebanon."
(Erlanger, The New York Times, June 3, 2005.)

In "Nuclear War" I had said, "At first the fighting will be concentrated in the northern sections of Israel, near Israel's borders with Lebanon and Syria…. My vision 'sees' Syria as the point of origin of a nuclear missile aimed at Israel." (See also "Armed Clash Signals Approach of World War III", Future News, May 14, 2005.)

In a recent conversation I had with Carlos Barrios, a priest of the Mayan people, I told him, "I am seeing signs that a nuclear war will be starting in the Middle East."

Carlos' response to my statement was calm and objective. "We are seeing this, too," he said to me. "It is coming soon. It is about the oil."
