LAST GLOBAL NEWS
Was the Copenhagen 2009 summit a
success or not?
The Copenhagen climate conference COP15 resulted in a document called the Copenhagen Accord. It was hammered out by a small group of countries - including the world's two biggest greenhouse gas polluters, China and the US. The conference as a whole did not adopt the accord, but voted to "take note" of it. (BBC News, December 2009)
Financial catastrophe thanks to
climate change?
The world is heading straight towards a financial catastrophe of incalculable proportions. This is not a consequence of the current crisis in the world's finance markets, but the inevitable result of climate change. This is the main conclusion in the hitherto most serious warning against global warming sent out by the scientific community. (Copenhagen Climate Council, November 2009)
The world is changing rapidly, a report that is done 5 years ago, or even 1 year ago seems to be outdated as quickly as it is published. That is the force of global warming gripping our world. Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which last year earned a joint share of the Nobel Peace Prize has no said that the figure reported in 2006 was a drastic underestimate of the amount of CO2 emissions. He said that now in 2009, it is more likely to be over 60%. (Now Public, Sept 26)
More banks feeling pressure from
bad loans in the US
At the end of June, troubled assets at the nation's 8204 banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. totaled more than $323 billion, up from $237 billion six months ago and just $170 billion a year ago. Real estate lending continues to be the major problem for banks. At the end of June, more than $262.2 billion in real estate loans were more than 90 days past due or were in nonaccrual status. But the effects of the recession on businesses large and small also now are showing up in the nation's banks. Problem commercial and industrial loans totaled more than $38 billion on June 30, a 50 percent increase over Dec. 31, 2008. (BANK TRACKER, Investigative Report Workshop, Sept 16)
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said today that he hasn't yet decided whether he'll run for president in 2012 after current President Dmitry Medvedev's term is up. "In 2012, we will think together and will take into account the realities of the time, our personal plans, the political landscape and the United Russia party, and we will take the decision," he said. Soon after Medvedev took the reins from Putin in May 2008, the new president proposed a constitutional amendment extending the presidential term from four to six years, starting in 2012. That raised eyebrows, leading observers to believe that Medvedev was paving the way for his mentor's return. Under the new law, Putin could technically rule the country until 2024 following a potential re-election in 2012. Victory for either in 2012 is all but assured and both men enjoy sky-high approval ratings. A poll released last week by the independent Levada Center put Medvedev at 62 percent. In August Putin's approval stood at 78 percent according to Levada, 10 points shy of his high of 88 percent following the five day war with Georgia last summer. In comparison. (ABC News, Sept 11)
Netanyahu Secretly Visited Russia
Many prophecies announced a connection between Russia and Muslim countries, which is being fulfilled. While Iraq had oil contracts with Russia before the US invaded it, Russia sells war weapons to Iran, which Israel tried (secrectly) to stop, according to the news. In 2007, Putin and Mahmound Ahmadinejad agreed to develop a peaceful nuclear programme, when Putin warned U.S. against military action on Iran. (Abc News, Sept 9)
Europe's big 3 say crisis not over
Many prophecies predict a deep economic crisis before the World War 3. Although the depression situation is getting better and maybe this is not the one predicted, the global current situation is still not under control. (Reuters, Sept. 3)
TUESDAY, On November 3, NEW YORK - Nobel Peace Prize winner and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore will publish a follow-up to his global warming awareness bestseller "An Inconvenient Truth". The book to be called "Our Choice" will describe solutions to global warming. The book can be pre-ordered through Amazon.com. "Our Choice is an inspiring call to action for those ready to fight for solutions that really work—including some bold initiatives that were deemed impossible only a short time ago but are now gaining support around the world. Since the publication of the New York Times bestseller An Inconvenient Truth and the release of the Academy Award–winning film of the same title, Mr. Gore has led more than 30 "Solutions Summits" with top scientists, engineers, and policy experts to examine every solution to the climate crisis in depth and detail. Our Choice draws on conclusions developed through those summits as well as on extensive independent research, describing how the bold choices necessary to save the earth’s climate should also be the foundations of policies worldwide to create new jobs and stimulate sustainable economic progress. As they did with An Inconvenient Truth, former Vice President Gore and Mrs. Tipper Gore will donate 100 percent of the proceeds of the book to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a nonprofit, nonpartisan group dedicated to spreading awareness about the climate crisis and how to solve it. Our Choice features 100 percent recycled paper, locally produced and sourced editions, low VOC inks, and is carbon neutral." (Amazon)

The Ngöbe Prophecy
The Ngöbe-Bugle people were traditional farmers living in the mountains of northern Panama. "According to Ngöbe prophecy, a new religion preaching unity would bring peace to the world" and this is why they accepted Bahá'í faith, which advocates that unity among major religions and an end to nationalism.

Understanding Conditioning:
Choose Power
"Our early experiences of life are often the seeding ground of our deep beliefs about who we are, what we are capable of, and whether we are good human beings. If have always been told to follow orders from authority and not listen to your inner voice"... "then those negative images will be buried deep in your subcouncious. They can be activated any time life tries to tell you that you aren't good enough and can become self-filling prophecies. Figuring out how your childhood has conditioned you to behave in later life is a fundamental key for self-empowerment" (Prediction magazine, Aug 2009, page 10)
Choose Power, by Pammyla Brooks (O Books) has useful exercises on how to increase your power over your body, your mind and your spirit.
Introduction to Prophecies
History shows that in the ancient world knowing the future was an added-value tool available for some rulers. There are several Egyptian four thousand year old prophecies on the walls of the pyramids, on the sarcophaguses and on papyri. According to Dr. Bob Brier, author of Ancient Egyptian Magic, for the Egyptians, all dreams were prophetic, but there were only a few people able to interpret them. It’s known that the oracle of Amun existed in 1490 B.C. He was used in a coup d'état to convince the masses. In China, the I Ching (Book of Changes), is about five thousand years old, and it is the oldest known manuscript and probably was created based on a divinatory technique, which was seven thousand years old. Divinatory bones of the Xia dynasty, the first Chinese imperial dynasty, were found in the 1970s by archeologists in China. The Assyrians also practiced astrology and, especially the chaldeans, tried to know the peoples future based on the movement of the stars. In the Mesopotamia-Invention of the City, the expert Gwendolyn Leick states that “in the third millennium (BC), several divination forms were being used to know the fortune, in order to obtain positive or negative answers for specific subjects...The epistemological basis for the divination was the idea that the gods communicate their preferences leaving all types of occult indications that can be read and understood by specialists. From the planets to the crawling things on the earth, the whole universe could be seen as coded with messages concerning the future... The patterns produced by oil in the water or in the smoke of the incense were able to therefore, be examined sincerely for the obtaining of answers. However, the favorite method in Mesopotamia was the observation of animal entrails, especially the liver of lambs selected for that end. Temples for the practice of the prophecy were built at Mesopotamia at that time. The oracles arrived to the Greeks and in Siwa (Libya) through the Phoenicians, who sold two Egyptian female priests, one for the Greeks, and the other for the Libyans, according to the legend. Cicero stated in De Divinations that in old Greece, about 2000 years ago, no war began or ended, nor a Greek colony was established, without first a consultation to the sibylline oracles. When Alexander believed the oracle was correct, he proclaimed a decreet saying he was the son of God. Saying you were son of a God or that you came from a dinasty of Gods was common at that time.
In "Selected Prophecies and Prophets", the reader will find a few amazing prophecies. I found one of them in the Royal Library in Portugal, in a manuscript, written in Latin. It is maybe the oldest prophecy with the word "America" and it says the Muslims will arrive in America. Concerning Vladimir Putin, the King of Angoulmois by Nostradamus, the accuracy of this prophecy is one of the most impressive ones among all prophecies in our planet. The reader will also find other prophecies that may lead people to think that Putin is the predicted Antichrist in Middle Ages and before.
In today's Russia, nostalgia for the Soviet era is growing. Many Russians reflect wistfully on the passing of an era when the Soviet Union was a superpower, commanding international respect, and they blame its demise on external enemies and foolish changes in policy. In an address to the Russian Federal Assembly, President Vladimir Putin called the breakup of the Soviet Union the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. In which aspects Putin would fulfill the old prophecies about the Antichrist?
There are also prophecies about a global economic crisis, which will come a little before the 3rd world war breaks out in the 2020s, according to my studies, now 20 years long. The 3rd World War will split many countries in 2 alliances. In one side, the US and Europe. In the other side, Russia, the Muslims countries, and an Oriental power, which could be China, Japan or even these and more other Eastern countries. This will be the final war. It's not going to be very different from what Einstein said. "I don't know how the 3rd world war will be, but the 4th one will be with stones and sticks." At the end of the war, the world will suffer a big natural catastrophe and then there will a change in the global economic system beginning in Germany and, in a certain way, a new kind of communism will back. Different from what Francis Fukuyama said in his article and book published in 1992, it is not going to be certainly the "end of history." No past power remained in leadership forever and no one will remain, this is out of question.
