"I do not wish to ascribe to myself the title and role of prophet, but emphasize inspiration revealed to a mortal man whose perception is no further from heaven than the feet are from the earth. I cannot fail, err or be deceived, although I may be as great a sinner as anyone else upon this earth and subject to all human afflictions."
Cannot err...
"This is why, before and after these revolutions in various countries, the rains will be so diminished and such abundance of fire and fiery missiles shall fall from the heavens that nothing shall escape the holocaust."
There is a major disconnect between the Marxist analysis of society and the crazed fundamentalist theist slavering at the thought of atheists burning in hell...
The idea of TOTAL LIBERATION is found in Marxism as well as authentic religions....
As well as TOTAL ANNIHILATION:
The burning atheist represents the neo-fascist who tells everyone that reality is the only reality...
...the neo-fascist who tells everyone that reality is the only reality...
That is a perfect title for religious fanatics, sure that their religious vision is the only truth, and that everyone else (atheists or competing religions) are evil...

The two phase stage of communist development was justified due to the backward nature of Soviet society and the reality of total encirclement by the capitalist nations. However, the idea of socialism in one nation is doomed to failure since it contradicts the global nature of the communist revolution.
Once an ardent believer, he has become the worst skeptic of Nostradamus on the planet. Maybe the past tense should be used. He is probably dead by now. He also once believed that the future could be predicted by measuring the pyramids...
We in Africa don't have to worry about nukes, you in the West sort out your own problems.
Nukes would affect everyone... For example, you could die from boredom for the lack of Western internet discussion boards.
No way! Don't forget one of the two founders of this forum is a dinky-di Aussie, and we invented the Hills Hoist! It'll be a cinch to keep the innerwebs going. JimC will amuse us with quadratic equations, recipes featuring home-grown veggies and gin-soaked cardigans. pErvinalia will regale us with stories of floods, problems with cars and the latest failures of his cricket team. I will chip in with my usual pedantry and bandworm sentences. Rainbow will add stories beginning with "We in Africa". The reject from Canada will flood us with reviews of movies based on real life events, all of which are totally WOW. It'll be business as usual as far as we denizens of the southern hemisphere are concerned.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

As if anyone but a few turds on this forum will care or remember you...Don't think many of you will survive what is going to happen... Maybe in the next world, but not in this one.

The Prophecies of Nostradamus: Century VIII, Quatrain 66 {Benoist Rigaud edition de 1568}
Quand l’escriture D.M.trouuee,
Et caue antique lampe descouuerte,
Loy, Roy,& Prince Vlpian esprouuee,
Pauillon Royne & Duc sous la couuerte.
When the inscription D.M. is found
in the ancient cave, revealed by a lamp.
Law, the King and Prince Ulpian tried,
the Queen and Duke in the pavilion under cover.
D.M. is obviously pointing to something else prophetic. The cave of knowledge is the internet. Ulpian could be Utopian. The lamp is a computer screen. How else would someone from 16th century describe it? The rest is a giant "WE."
The D.M. stands for Depeche Mode. They are singing “ENJOY THE SILENCE” on TOP of the WORLD TRADE CENTER.
See how the "DOUBLE" reveals the true nature of things.
Note: They are singing *ABOUT* the "King of Terror"
See how we use a QUATRAIN TO PREDICT THE FUTURE. Notice the *DATE*.
