I believe that God always send us prophets. I believe that prophecy should be respected, weighed, discerned. Never despised. I believe that the study of prophecy can be an important and weighty intellectual pursuit.
What follows has absolutely nothing to do with that.
Actually, what follows is complete nonsense that I publish here simply because it allows me to indulge my fears of the destruction that Obama will wreak on the nation and the world. In support of this point, all standards of discernment will be thrown out the window so as to use whatever prophecy, however untrustworthy or spurious, to support my thesis. Here goes.
First, this one from Daniel Pipes.
Ali ibn Abi-Talib, the seventh-century figure central to Shiite Islam, is said to have predicted when the world will end, columnist Amir Taheri points out. A "tall black man" commanding "the strongest army on earth" will take power "in the west." He will carry "a clear sign" from the third imam, Hussein. Ali says of the tall black man: "Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.""Tall Black Man", Hussein, and a fanciful disambiguation of the Obama name? Hey I am convinced. Normally I don't put much stock in the prophecies seventh-century Muslims, but when they reinforce my own sense of doom, face value buddy. Face value.
Barack Hussein in Arabic means "the blessing of Hussein." In Persian, Obama translates as "He [is] with us." Thus does the name of the presumptive American president-elect, when combined with his physical attributes and geography, suggest that the End of Times is nigh – precisely what Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been predicting.
Johanwa Owalo, the founder of Kenya’s Nomiya Luo Church, and who among the Kenya people of the Luo religion is believed to be a prophet similar to Jesus Christ and Muhammad, and who in 1912 made this horrific prophecy about the United States:See that? Our destruction comes through a Kenyan. Sure, the U.S. lost its dominance in long distance events at the Olympics to Kenyans a while ago, but this sounds even worse. The only way we can avoid this one is if Alan Keyes can prove that Obama isn't eligible to be president before the inauguration.
“So far have they [the United States] strayed into wickedness in those [future] times that their destruction has been sealed by my [father]. Their great cities will burn, their crops and cattle will suffer disease and death, their children will perish from diseases never seen upon this Earth, and I reveal to you the greatest [mystery] of all as I have been allowed to see that their [the United States] destruction will come about through the vengeful hands of one of our very own sons.” [1]
"We have the only existing fourth edition of Nostradamus' book Les Propheties (The Prophecies). There were thought to be only three editions published in 1558, this new edition is from 1559 and includes 20 more quatrains which have never been revealed before -- that is, until now," Professor Randell said from the archive office on Tuesday.Honestly, I am not even sure what this one means. However, I am sure that it is very, very bad.
...
The professor told the Daily Squib that it is well known that some of the quatrains are open to interpretation however what he has translated from the previously unreleased manuscript will certainly "ruffle a few feathers".

The great empire will be torn from limb,
The all-powerful one for more than four hundred years:
Great power given to the dark one from slaves come,
The Aryana will not be satisfied thereby.
I knew I should have went to bed on time!
Good night across the pond!
What on Earth is the "Black Pope theory"?
Baloney
You no doubt intended to write:
I knew I should have gone to bed on time!
Right ;-)?
The OThug is not the AntiChrist.
The AntiChrist will have a much cleaner public record and be able to somehow convince the Jews that he is THEIR MESSIAH for 3.5 years.
As much as 70% or so of the Jewish voters were idiots about OThug, that’s still a stretch to believe that he’s their Messiah.

ODD POLICE INFORMATION Given To Me
There are some interesting posts all over the boards right now. I was just reading the one about how a mass amount of military personnel are being called back into duty right now, and I thought that might correlate with something that I heard from a policeman that I have known for my entire life.
I live in the Cleveland, OH area, just so you know, and this is the only region I know of this happening so don’t quote me when it comes to your hometown.
This cop friend and I, who I will not name, were speaking about two weeks ago with each other (I don’t know why it took me so long to post this) while we were both on lunch break. We are always talking about things pertaining to ‘alternative’ news, like this site, and when he sat down this day he told me something quite frightening. He was, himself, afraid of what it might mean.
He received some kind of form for him and his family that would grant them first rights treatment, because he is a first responder, in the event of an “anthrax or other biological attack”.
He said he has never received anything like this in his twenty years on the force, even when the anthrax attacks were happening.
I corroborated this with another cop I know from the same city. I know many cops from this city, but these are the only two I talk to that frequently.
Just thought you all should know. I don’t know what it means, no other information was given to them.
As for other cities, I am not sure. Maybe someone here could corroborate?

My wife (a member of the Cleveland Medical community) knows of no such policy, but she also added that it is possibly that they may have special treatment for the safety forces in the event of an attack (already in place)...!!
