PREDICTIONS FOR 2009, by Victor Baines (of the Nostradamus Society of America) Sunday, Jan 4 2009 

 Pirates on the Seas     The civilized nations of the world will no longer tolerate “piracy on the high seas”!  Presently, several nations have stepped forward to unite against this centuries old problem.  In addition to using modern, hi-tech naval forces to fight these pirates, the owners of transport ships, cruise boats, and merchant ships should consider buying small arms and arming their crews with them.  Instead of surrendering to the pirates they should fight them (and blow them out of the water)! 

That’s right–ship crews should fire 5000 rounds of  Nato 7.62 ammunition at the “bullies of the seas” (along with a few RPG’s) and see if that changes the game plans of those pirates.  I bet that would give them a whole new attitude for 2009 (and stop the problem for good).  Instead of fearing pirates, they should turn the game around on them, and make the pirates “fear their prey”.  1000 dead pirates later the problem would stop.

 IRAQ     In a military sense  the Coalition Forces appear to have the “upper hand” in Iraq.  Their nation building activities appear to be successfull.  Troops should look out for all the typical traps that the enemy like to use against our troops.  Bombings and sniping will most likely continue, however, the over-all game plan of making a new nation amazingly appears to be on track.

 SECURITY/TERRORISM     It is my opinion that Africa and Asia will see more bombings and terrorism than Europe and New World will see in 2009.  Of course everyone should remain vigilant in their fight against terrorism (and whenever there is an opportunity to strike back against evil terrorists–we should!  Hell Fire Missiles, 7.62 mm NATO rounds, .50 caliber shells,  and 20 mm cannon rounds work quite well in this capacity

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION     Just like last year, the social trend of “reverse immigration” back to Mexico will continue to be the trend in 2009.

AMERICAN JOBS    Under the Bush Administration the Dept. of Labor did three things for the American worker.  #1.  They exported American manufacturing jobs over to China.  #2.  The domestic jobs were held for illegal Mexican immigrants to take.  #3.  Or, they did “nothing at all” to help the American worker.   Hoefully Presient Obama will correct this trend and put the American worker back into a place of success and prosperity.

CUBA    Maybe this year (or in a year or two) there will be a lot of positive changes in the relationship between Cuba and the United States.  Moving forward to create a positive and productive relationship between these two countries will prove to be a good thing for everyone concerned.

Pakistan     There will be a lot of heat on the nation of Pakistan this year.  Their are many problems in this region to consider.  First there is the issue if security in Afghanistan, and then there is an even bigger problem to examine between Pakistan and India.  If diplomacy fails in this region it could lead to a huge and awful war India and Pakistan which could possibly develop into something like Word War III.  So–people need to remain “wise and prudent” in thier diplomatic efforts in Asia.

THE PRICE OF GAS     The Petrol Merchants wre kind to lower the price of gas from $4.50/gallon, down to $1.50 per gallon.  I guess enouugh people complained about it (just short of revolution in the streets) in order to force these heartless merchants to lower their prices.  Hopefully prices will remain low for awhile, however, every May, they always seem to raise the price of gas just before American families take their summer vacations (so beware).

UFO SIGHTINGS     I believe this might prove to be another year of exciting mass UFO sightings (like have been occuring in Stephenville, Texas and in Mexico City).  If these UFO’s are manned by a highly advanced species of alien life-forms, then let’s hope that they can tell us what we need to do to save our planet from ecological destruction.  According to UFO abductees–the message these space travelers are attempting to tell us is that we are slowly destroying our home planet of Earth (and that we better realize is and correct things before it is too late to).

NOSTRADAMUS DIDN’T SAY THE WORLD WOULD END IN 2012, by Victor Baines Sunday, Jan 4 2009 

Trying to find a job in a non-existent job market (during the middle of a bad recession) might seem like “the end of the world”–but its not!!  NO–ITS NOT THE END!  THE WORLD WILL NOT END IN 2012, AND NOSTRADAMUS NEVER SAID THAT IT WOULD!  I would say that certain people in the media are getting carried away in their promotional propaganda, placing hype above reality (all for the sake of  viewer ratings–and at the expense of truth).

Have you heard the insane rumor that the world is suppose to come to an end in December, 2012?  Let me assure you of this–I have spent 15 years researching the prophecies of Nostradamus and “nowhere in his prophecies does he suggest that the world will end in 2012!”  In fact–this is the creation of the Mayian Indians of Mexico–and doesn’t have “jack” to do with Nostradamus!

One of my duties as the Director of the Nostradamus Society of America is to “seperate bullsh#t from reality (and “fact from fiction”).  Therefore, I can promise you that Nostradamus stated in his Epistle to his prophecies that thw world would end in 3797 (due to burning stones from the heavens hitting the surface of the Earth).  He named this event “the final conflagration”.  This gives us 1788 years until the end of the world (according to Nostradamus).  So don’t hold your breath waitng for the end!

Can you imagine “how stupid” the people who claim the world is going to end in 2012 will feel when they wake-up with hang-overs, on New Year’s Day of 2013–only to realize that the world “didn’t” come to an end?  They will be the”laughing stalks of the world”. 

 Therefore, although I advocate the right to everyone having an opinion (and expressing it)–I want to make sure that people know what my opinion is–Nostradamus never said the world will end in 2012!   So, let’s don’t confuse the philosophy of the Mayians (with the Prophecies of Nostradamus)!

Dead Sea Scrolls go Digital, by Victor Baines Sunday, Nov 16 2008 

Israeli authorities announced that the Dead Sea Scrolls (the oldest version of the Hebrew religion) are being photographed using American space technology and will be posted on the internet for everyone to see.  Cameras using high-tech infrared photography are being utilized to uncover sections of the text which have faded over the centuries.  They will digitize some 900 fragments and authorities estimate that the project will take about five years to complete.  This is interesting news considering that Nostradamus was of Jewish descent.

Victor Baines Predicted a Democrat would be President Sunday, Nov 16 2008 

In my blog entry “Predictions for 2008″ (written in Feb. of 2008) I predicted that” a democrat would win the presidential election”–and I was right!  If I had been incorrect I would have heard about it by now.  However–I was right, so, let’s give me a big round of applause!  Yeah, Victor!

A “Lost Book” Image that’s prophetic indeed Saturday, Nov 15 2008 

In the History Channel program “Lost Book of Nostradamus” there was one prophetic water-color showing a small Turkish warrior holding a Turkish sword, standing in front of a large pope whose insignia included the Virgin Mary in his coat of arms (suggesting Pope John Paul II).

This particular image appears to have foreshadowed the attack on Pope John Paul II, by a Turkish man in 1981 at St. Peter’s Square. However, it was little known that in a 1982 knife attack, by a Spanish priest named Juan Maria Fernandez—the Holy Father was “actually cut by the knife”. That fact had remained secret up until now.

This is all according to a recently released film– which includes the testimony of Pope John Paul II’s private secretary (Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz). So, with this new knowledge being public, it simply adds more credibility to “whoever it was” that actually created the Lost Book images (be it Nostradamus or some unknown imitator).

In the future, if any “additional news” is uncovered regarding Lost Book images, we will be sure to mention them on our website.

NEW UFO SIGHTING IN STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS–by Victor Baines Saturday, Nov 1 2008 

     During the weekend of October 25, 2008, about a thousand people were attending a high school football game in Stephenville, Texas, when suddenly–something amazing occurred–a huge black “triangular shaped” UFO (about 1500 feet long) appeared right over the top of the football stadium.  It hovered there silently and brought the game to a complete stand-still as everyone gazed upon it in “complete and total awe”!

     A few minutes later a squadron of F-16 Eagles appeared in the sky and as they approached the Mothership–it suddenly flew away into the night time sky at an incredible rate of speed.  The whole event lasted about 10 minutes or so (according to witnesses who attended the game).  I heard that this bizarre event has been “the talk of the town”–its the only thing people have been talking about!

Dr. Michael Rathford Accused of Fraud by some Internet Surfers Friday, May 9 2008 

A lot of web-surfers have been posting negative comments about this Dr. Michael Rathford fellow (which is apparently a pen-name). One person wrote “this guy is a fraud, Dr. Michael Rathford is not his real name, not a doctor at all, go do a Google search,

he comes up about 50 times, all referenced to back to his website—nothing else. Avoid this petty attempt, a complete waste of time, read some original documents he claims to have “translated”. It’s a joke and a scam”.

It has been brought to my attention that this Dr. Rathford guy (or whatever his real name is—I guess he chose “Dr.” to sound more important) has made the mistake of trying to “confuse or deceive” people into thinking that he had something to do with the

History Channel program “Lost Book of Nostradamus”. And I can assure you that he did not—yet his advertising seems to imply that he has somehow “decoded” some information, and cracked a code. Don’t believe this guy when he claims that!

Another web surfer wrote “this guy (Dr. Rathford) is so full of shit that he could open his mouth and say “ah” at a checkup and give a stool sample at the same time! If this doctor was so amazing, why did he use Dan Brown’s title?”

Finally, someone from Mexico, who bought Rathford’s book, referred to him as “Dr. Transformer”—because his book reminded him of the “Transformers Movie”! LOL!!!

The Danger Posed to America by the New Madrid Fault-line Friday, May 9 2008 

The earthquake on April 19th in the New Madrid fault line, was an event of great importance. In fact, it was so important that it was the top story on ABC News that evening.

As fate would have it, in Quatrain #10-79 Nostradamus predicts a major earthquake in a region he called “the New Memphis” (see the excerpt section of this website). Memphis, Tennessee is located within the New Madrid region and our USGS predicts that a major quake will strike this region around the year 2017 (or maybe before). So, we see “science and prophecy predicting the same thing” (which is unusual and therefore important)!

I can assure you that if the New Madrid fault line collapsed it would amount to a huge, colossal mess involving the loss of about 25% of the surface area of the United States!

Competition in Terror Land Friday, May 9 2008 

Believe it or not—different terror groups don’t help one another out. Sunni Al Qaeda, and Shiite Tehran are in “competition” with one another to see who the number one defender of the Arabs really is. It’s a good thing that they aren’t united with one another! We should exploit this split in power to its full advantage in our war against terror!
