It is sometimes difficult to place events in TIME when it comes to  visions for the year ahead.  Events or patterns seen for the beginning, middle or end of the year may happen sooner or later.  Timing is the most difficult aspect of psychic prediction.  It is not unusual to be a year or more off with important patterns or events. I first started posting my predictions on the WWW back in 1997, but I haven’t kept them all for your perusal. When I started slipping on political patterns, I decided it was time to hang up my political shingle, which seems obvious since I predicted Gore, Dean and Kerry! Oh, well! I did predict the Reagan and senior Bush terms with complete and total accuracy!

HOWARD DEAN will likely be the DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE for the presidency in 2004… and PRESIDENT.  (Prediction first made July 7, 2003) 1/2 Drudge Report: “FLASH: Democrats Would Choose Dean Over Kerry if the Election Were Held Today.” “DEAN: ‘Dealing with race is about educating white folks.'” 1/4 Drudge Report: “DEAN Scores a Double: Face on Covers of TIME and NEWSWEEK.”  1/5 CNN: POLL: DEAN starts 2004 leading Democrats.” 1/6 Washington Post:: “Dean Gains Bill Bradley’s Support.”  1/9 Drudge Report: “Iowa Senator Harkin Endorses Dean.” 1/12 Drudge Report: “Rob Reiner and Martin Sheen to Stump for Dean in Iowa.” 1/13 CNN: POLL: “Dems Would be Happy with Dean or Clark.”  Why not be happy with Dean and Clark??? In that order, I might add.  See my 2003 commentary on this point. 1/14 CNN: “Dean First, Sharpton Second in DC Vote.” Washington Post: “Dean Wins Protest Primary.” Drudge Report: “Jimmy Carter for Dean…two high-level supporters of Dean said they expected former president to offer formal backing… ” 1/15 CNN: “Braun Quitting Race, Will Endorse Dean.” Drudge Report: “Poll: Three-Way Tie for Top Democratic Spot in Iowa: John Kerry, Howard Dean, Richard Gephardt.” 1/16 Drudge Report: “Dean Slips, Clark Gains in NH.”  “Dean Edges Lieberman, Clark in Florida, South.” “RNC Has Three Times More Cash on Hand Than DNC.” 1/20 Drudge Report: “Dean Blames Third Place Finish in Iowa on Attacks.” Washington Post: “Drama Rises as Dean Slips.” 1/21 Drudge Report: “Dean Holds Slim New Hampshire Lead Over Kerry.” 1/25 Drudge Report: “DEAN IS BACK … Race Pulls to Within 3 Points.” 1/27 Drudge Report: “Kerry Pulls Big Win in New Hampshire, 39% of Vote, Dean 24%.” 1/28 Drudge Report: “Dean Shakes Up Presidential Campaign, replacing his campaign manager with a longtime associate of Al Gore.” “Gore OP Given Dean Reins.” 2/5 Drudge Report: “Dean Says He Must Win Wisconsin or Be Out of Race.” 2/6/2004: I still think DEAN can do it!  I just put my money where my predictions are!  GO DEAN, GO!  I just don’t see Kerry winning the White House.  Do your part and contribute to the HOWARD DEAN CAMPAIGN!  2/9 Drudge Report, Yahoo News: “Dean Now Says He Will Stay in Race After Wisconsin: ‘It’s critical,” Dean said, “But it’s not the end of the line.” 2/10 NY Times: “Quote of the Day: “Over the last three or four days we have had enormous pressure from the people who raised us all the money not to drop out.” HOWARD DEAN.” 2/15 Drudge Report: “Dean Rejects Calls to Quit Presidential Campaign.” “Dean Announces General Chairman is Out.”  2/18 Washington Post:“Kerry Wins Wisconsin Primary After Close Race, Edwards is Strong Second, Dean Finishes Third.”  CNN: “Source: DEAN TO SUSPEND CAMPAIGN.” I don’t like being wrong about these things, but I did predict Gore would be president the last round.  I’m not infallible and I’ve always tried to explain that to my clients who can be too quick to give me too much power.  Ego does not enable this WORK.  I’m going to stop predicting elections!  So there!  And I’d still like to see Howard Dean become president of these United States and so would my spirit guides.  They don’t like being wrong either!  We’ll just have to see what happens between now and November.  At least election day doesn’t fall on my birthday this year! 3/2 AOL News: “Dean Wins Home State of Vermont.” 3/26 Drudge Report: “KERRY CHRISTENED by Gore, Clinton and Carter, endorsed by Howard Dean.”  Not everything a psychic tunes into is gospel!  Keep that foremost in mind.  But then, weathermen, doctors and lawyers make mistakes, too! October 3, 2004: Seems to me that KERRY has a very good chance of winning.(1/27/2008: I regret I ever told George W. Bush that he had a bright future in politics when his father was president. Oh well! You can’t win them all.)

There will be a definite sadness the first month of 2004 with TRAGIC POSSIBILITIES around the FULL MOON of January 7^th when the planet Mercury has gone direct.  1/3 Drudge Report: “Egyptian charter jet with 148 aboard crashes into Red Sea.” 1/7 Drudge Report: “1 Dead, 34 U.S. Soldiers Wounded in Mortar Attack.” 1/8 CNN: “Hospital Black Hawk helicopter down south of Fallujah, Iraq, killing all 9 aboard.”  1/8 AOL News: “Three Children Feared Kidnapped in Georgia, 3 adults and 10 month old baby found slain.” CNN: “Suspect Kills Self, Girls alright.” 1/10 CNN: “IRAQ Mosque Blast Kills 5, Wounds Dozens.”  1/14 Drudge Report: “Suicides of U.S. Troops Rising in Iraq – Pentagon.”

POWER STRUGGLES are likely on a big time basis the first of the year and probably all year…this is an election year!1/9 Drudge Report: “Clark guarantees no Sept. 11th-type events in his presidency.” “Two Democrats Accuse Dean Camp of Dirty Tricks.” “AP: While Governor, Dean accepted speaking fees, gifts from special interest.” CNN: “Bush space announcement draws jeers, cheers.” “Dean takes flak about Iowa comments.”  “Bush Savaged by former Treasury Chief.” “O’Neill Calls Bush a Disengaged President.” 1/10 CNN: “BUSH planned Iraq war pre-9/11, says ex-aide, O’Neill.” “Kerry swipes at Dean in Iowa caucus race.” Drudge Report: “Cheney Would Back Ban on Gay Marriage.” 1/11Drudge Report: “Senior administration official: ‘O’Neill’s suggestion is laughable.  No one listened to him when he was in office.  Why would they now?'” A war of words is definitely here!  Drudge Report:  ” O’Neill: ‘Bush’s performance at cabinet meetings resembled that of  ‘a blind man in a room full of deaf people.'” “Iowans have never seen a political battle like the one that has begun to unfold; scope of the ground war outstrips anything from past caucuses.” 1/13 CNN: IRNA: “Iran’s Cabinet May Dissolve.” 1/14 Drudge Report: “Poring Through the Boxes: Kerry’s Dirt Diggers on Dean Turn Aggressive in Vermont.”  1/15 CNN: “O’Neill Author Denies Using Classified Material.” Drudge Report: “Wes Clark Made Case for Iraq War Before Congress; Transcript Revealed.”  1/16 Drudge Report: “Spanish politician labels Blair a “dickhead” on live TV.” “Revealed: Kerry Advocated Gutting Agriculture Department.”  1/17 Drudge Report: “Clark Wins Endorsement of McGovern.” 1/19 Drudge Report: “CLOSEST IN HISTORY: Tight Four-Way IOWA Race Kicks Off Democratic Race.” 1/20 AOL News: “Kerry Wins Iowa, Edward Second, Gephardt Dropping Out.” 1/22 Drudge Report: “Kerry Sails Past Dean for New Hampshire Lead.” 1/24 Drudge Report: “NEWSWEEK POLL: Kerry Edges Bush in Match-UP; 52% of Voters Don’t Want to See President Re-Elected.” “Kerry Holds Lead But Race May be Tightening.” 1/25 Drudge Report: “ANDY ROONEY ─ Send Bush to Mars.”  I second that suggestion!  1/26 Drudge Report: “Federal Judge rules part of Patriot Act unconstitutional.” 1/27 Drudge Report: “National Review’s Rich Lowry Reports: Kerry 36, Dean 31, Edwards 12, Clark 12 in early NH returns.” 1/28 Drudge Report: “Edwards Rejects a Kerry─Edwards Ticket.” “Angry Blair Claims Vindication.” 2/3 Drudge Report: “John Kerry Wins Democratic Primaries in Delaware, Missouri.” “Edwards Wins South Carolina.” “Lieberman Abandons Presidential Race.”  2/4 CNN: “Kerry Rolls, Wins 5 States, Edwards Takes SC.” NY Times: “Clark Claims Win in OK.” Washington Post: “Race Solidifies With 5 Kerry Wins.  Clark, Edwards prevail in must-win contests.  Dean finishes without a victory.” 2/6 Drudge Report: “Gephardt to Endorse Kerry.” 2/6 NY Times: “Online Voting Canceled for Americans Overseas.” 2/7 Drudge Report, Washington Post: “Revealed: General Clark’s Papers.  Clark Papers Talk War and Politics.” Drudge Report: Kerry Wins Washington, Michigan Caucuses, Dean finishes second in Washington with 30% of vote.” 2/9 Washington Post: “Kerry Easily Wins Maine, Dean Second.” 2/10 NY Times: “Violence Spreads in Haiti; Toll is Put at 41: An armed uprising spread to at least a dozen towns in western and northern Haiti, the strongest challenge yet to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.” 2/11 NY Times: “Clark Ends Presidential Run; Edwards Finishes in Second.” 2/12 Drudge Report: “CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS: Kerry Fights Off Media Probe of Recent Alleged Infidelity, Rivals Predict Ruin.” “In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated, ‘Kerry will implode over an intern issue.'”  2/15 CNN: “Kerry Wins Nevada, DC Caucuses.” 2/16 NY Times: “Top Dean Aide Discusses Plans to Back Kerry.”  1/19 CNN: “Now Its Kerry Vs.

WEATHER PATTERNS remain EXTREME.  GLOBAL WARMING is a FACT.  Wind, rain, wildfires, forest fires, floods, mudslides take their toll.  A SEVERE WINTER. 1/2 CNN: “Storm floods creeks, closes roads in Northern California.” 1/4 Drudge Report: “380 Dead in South Asia Cold Snap.” Drudge Report, Local6.com, Eureka, CA: “‘Rogue’ Wave Sweeps Man, Child, Off California Coast.” 1/5 Drudge Report: “Midwest Snow Blast Snarls Travel, Shuts Schools.” 1/6 Drudge Report: “Cold Snap Grips U.S.A.” 1/7 Drudge Report: “SNOWBLAST Brings Much of OREGON to Standstill.  Worst Storm in a Decade.”  Conservation International: “Climate Change May Threaten More Than One Million Species With Extinction.”  1/10 Washington Post: “Arctic Cold Blasts Northeast, minus 26 degrees in some places.” 1/10 Drudge Report: “25 Below in Vermont.” “Canadian cold snap takes more lives.”  1/11 CNN: “Records Fall as Temperatures Plummet.” “Flooding in Brazil.” “Bitter cold blamed for 2 deaths.”  1/14 CNN: “New England put into deep freeze.”  1/15 Drudge Report: “Gore to Warn of ‘Global Warming’ on New York City’s Coldest Day in Decade.” But what these critical people don’t understand is that extreme temperatures such as this are part of the deteriorating global weather process, extremely hot summers and extremely cold winters.  Wake up, media people, smell the coffee! Drudge Report: “Northeast Hit With Historic Winter Blast.” “34 Below in Mount Washington, NH.” 1/16 Drudge Report: “Freeze Halts Flights.” “Thousands Still Without Power in Hawaii After 85 MPH Winds.” “Con Edison Sets New Records for Winter Electric Use.” 1/23 Drudge Report: “Dozens dead as heavy winds, bitter cold lash southeastern Europe. 1/23 Physics Web: “Climate model predicts even hotter summers.

Martin Beniston of the U.of Fribourg says last year’s heat wave was not like those that occurred in 1947 and 1976, and more like conditions that might be expected towards the end of this century. He hopes governments will use the heat wave as an indication of “a shape of things to come” to devise new strategies for coping with future climate change and global warming.” 1/25 Drudge Report: “Winter Storm Reaches from Kansas to South Carolina.” 1/25 CNN: “Winter Storm Kills 15 on East Coast.” 1/26 Drudge Report: “Fatal storms batter Europe.” “Global warming will plunge Britain into new ice age ‘within decades.'” 1/27 CNN: “High Winds Knock Out Power, Close Highways in Hawaii.” “Winter Storms Leave 42 Dead.” 1/28 Drudge Report: “Worst drought in more than a decade threatens millions in southern Africa.” “Snow, Ice, Wreak Havoc Along East Coast.” 1/29 CNN: “Weather Kills at Least 56.” 2/7 CNN: “Flooding Threat in Parts of East.” 2/11 CNN: “Wind Driven Snow Blocks Roads in South Dakota, halting Amtrak train.” 2/21 CNN: “Two Dead as Dust Storms Wreck Havoc in West Texas contributing to series of traffic accidents injuring dozens.” 3/5 CNN: “Deadly Storms, Tornadoes Flip Homes.” 3/6 Washington Post: “Baltimore Water Taxi Capsizes, 1 dead, 3 missing after violent thunderstorm.” CNN: “Winds Batter Midwest.” 3/11ECTV: “NASA Advisor Confirms Cause of Global Warming is ‘SOLAR’.” 3/17 Drudge Report: “Snowstorm Spreads East.” 3/18 CNN: “Northeast Battles Killer Snowstorm.” 3/21 CNN: “REPORT: CARBON DIOXIDE BUILDUP ACCELERATING: Has reached record highs in the atmosphere, say scientists monitoring from a Hawaiian volcano.” 3/30 Drudge Report: “Dust Storm Blankets Chinese Capital.” “U.N.

ASSASSINATION is not out of the question in January.  The passing of notable figures mark the month1/1 CNN: “Novelist, screenwriter, Dunne, Dead at 71.” 1/6 CNN: Dominica PM Dies of Heart Attack, 49.” “Fashion photographer Scavullo dies at 82, did Cosmo for 30 years.” 1/15 CNN: “Uta Hagen dies at 84, renowned theatrical performer, teacher.” 1/16 CNN: “First Wives Club” Author, Olivia Goldsmith, Dies of complications after plastic surgery, 54, book made into movie starring Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and Diane Keaton.” 1/18 Washington Post: “Legendary Hollywood Producer Ray Stark Dies, 88: Funny Girl, The Way We Were, Night of the Iguana.” “Actress, Dancer Ann Miller Dead of Lung Cancer, 81.”  “Captain Kangaroo, Bob Keeshan, Dead at 76.”  “Acclaimed Fashion Photographer, Helmut Newton, Killed in Crash, 88.” 1/27 AOL News: “Former Tonight Show Host Jack Paar Dies, 85.” 2/1 CNN: “Hajj Stampede, 240 Pilgrims Dead.” “New Iraq Blasts; Many Kurdish Casualties, Over 100 Dead.” 2/7 NY Times: “ASSASSINATIONS TEAR INTO IRAQ’S EDUCATED CLASS: Hundreds of intellectuals and administrators have been assassinated since May in a widening campaign against Iraq’s professional class.”  Such a pity! They are the ones needed to re-establish sanity in that desert. 3/29 AOL News: “Iraqi Minister Escapes Assassination.” 3/30 AOL News: “Tamil Candidate Slain in Eastern Sri Lanka.” 5/9 AOL News: “Chechnya Buries Assassinated President.” 6/16 AOL News: “Official in Iraqi Oil Company Killed in Ambush.” 6/17 CNN: “American Hostage Beheaded.” 6/20 AOL News: “Tikrit City Councilman  Assassinated.” 11/1 CNN: “Top Baghdad Official Assassinated.”

Intensified OFFENSIVES in IRAQ are also emphasized with increased casualties.1/5 CNN: “Four soldiers killed, 3 wounded.”  1/9 AOL News: “U.S. Military Deaths in Iraq Approach 500 since the time War Began.” 1/18 AOL News: “Strong Car Bomb Shakes Central Baghdad, 20 Dead, including 3 U.S. Soldiers, 60 wounded.” Drudge Report: “U.S. Death Toll in Iraq Hits 500, Equaling First Four Year Toll in Vietnam.” I’ve been telling people that Iraq is Bush’s Vietnam. 1/24 CNN: “Attacks Kill 5 U.S. Soldiers in Sunni Triangle.” 1/25 AOL News: “U.S. Loses 5th Copter This Month in Iraq.” 1/27 Drudge Report: “2 CNN employees killed in Iraq ambush.” 1/27 CNN: “5 Attacks in Iraq Kill 13.” 1/28 CNN: “U.S. plans spring offensives against al Qaeda.” 2/10 Drudge Report: “50 Killed in Car Bombing South of Baghdad.” The intensified offensives seem to primarily involve the opposition forces against the allied forces. 2/11 AOL News: “20-25 Iraqis applying for military jobs killed in explosion in Baghdad, second such attack in two days.” NY Times: “Up to 80 Killed in Bomb Blasts at Two Iraqi Sites.” It seems to me these days that HELL is a place called IRAQ. 2/15 NY Times: “25 Slain and 40 Wounded as Raid on Police Frees Prisoners.” The killings continue on an almost daily basis.  I will not record them all. 2/18 CNN: “Twin Iraq Blast Kills 2.” “Twin suicide bombings kill 11 Iraqis.” 3/2 CNN: “Dozens Dead, Wounded as Blasts Hit Baghdad, Karbala.” “6 Dead in Attack on Shiites in Pakistan.” “Two Attacks Kills More than 140 in Iraq.” 3/15 NY Times: “GI Toll is Rising as Insurgents Try Wilier Bombs and Tactics.” 3/16 AOL News: “Americans Killed in Iraq were Baptist Missionaries involved in a humanitarian water purification project.” Drudge Report: ” BLOODBATH: Pakistani troops kill 24 suspects in fierce crackdown on al-Qaida and Taliban in tribal region.” 3/17 Drudge Report: “As Many as 10 Killed in Baghdad Hotel Blast; two US soldiers tried to pull bodies from the wreckage, but angry Iraqis pushed them back.  Eight cars were on fire, and one vehicle was hurled by the blast into a store.”  The Mars-Uranus square of the next several weeks foreshadows havoc in many places around the globe. Take care, watch your driving and your temper! 3/18 NY Times: “Car Bomb at Baghdad Hotel Leaves at Least 27 Dead.” “Kosovo Torn by Wildest Violence Since UN Took Control in 1999: 8 killed, 200 wounded.” CNN: “Baghdad Blast Destroys Soft Target Hotel.” 3/19 AOL News: “Violence Hits Ahead of Iraq War Milestone, 3 US soldiers died in mortar attacks, 4 Iraqi journalist shot to death.” 3/20 AOL News: “Japanese Troops Cross Border into Iraq.” “Battle Rages in Pakistan With Al-Qaeda Fighters.”  AOL News: “Pakistani Military Pursues Al-Zawahri.”  3/21 AOL News: “Two Mortar Rounds Hit U.S. Coalition HQ in Iraq, killing one Iraqi citizen, wounding 10.”  3/24 NY Times: “11 Iraqi Police Officers Are Killed by Gunmen.” 3/27 Washington Post: “15 Iraqis, 1 Marine Killed in Firefight.” Not every casualty is listed here or that would be all that I could do. 3/31 CNN: “Fallujah Attacks Kill 5 US Troops, 4 Others.” 4/2 CNN: “March Second- Deadliest for U.S. Troops.” 4/4 AOL News: “Two U.S. Marines Killed in Iraq Due to Enemy Action.” Drudge Report: “10 Troops Killed on Sunday.” 4/7 NY Times: “Fierce Fighting With Sunnis and Shiites Spreads to 6 Iraqi Cities: One of the most violent days in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein.” AOL News: “Brutal Battles on New Fronts: 30 Troops Killed in 3 Days.” For the most part, I do not know myself what the words of my predictions mean until the events occur.  I just pay attention to the messages from my spirit guides, which all of you should do as well. ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION!  4/8 CNN: “Rumsfeld: U.S. FORCES ON THE OFFENSE.” Drudge Report:  I said it long before Ted Kennedy: IRAQ IS BUSH’S VIETNAM.  Maybe the Senator reads my page?  4/9 NY Times: “As Fighting Rages, Insurgents in Iraq Kidnap 3 Japanese.” CNN: “U.S. Suffers More Casualties, Gaining Ground.” 5/17 Washington Post: “Iraqi Governing Council President Killed.”

EARTHQUAKES and VOLCANIC rumblings could well fill the headlines.  12/26/2003 World News: This could include the devastating earthquakes in California and Iran that just occurred in December.1/1 NY Times: “For the Orphans in Iran, the Ordeal Has Only Begun.” 12/31/2003 Science Daily: “Survivors of BAM Earthquake Urgently Require Health Supplies, Medicine.” 1/2 AOL News: “Severe Quake Hits Indonesia, Bali, 29 Said Hurt, Dozens of Buildings Damaged.” CNN: “Quake Aftershocks Hit California.” Earth Changes TV, Drudge Report: “Meteorite Hits Iran.” 1/3 AOL News, Kathmandu: “Earthquakes rock Nepal, no report on casualties, 5.5 and 4.5 magnitude.” 1/6 CNN: http: “Mild earthquakes hit northwest Wyoming.” Something quite frightening could be on its way.  1/7 Earth Changes TV: “Swarm of Earthquakes Hit Wyoming, 5.0 and less magnitude.” 1/7 CNN: “IRAN tremors bring new emergency.” 1/17 CNN: “Iran Death Toll Now Put at 41,000.” 1/26 Science Daily: “EARTHQUAKES KILL THOUSANDS IN 2003; DEADLIEST YEAR SINCE 1990.” 2/4 CNN Headline News: “6.0 Earthquake Rocks Taiwan.” 2/6 CNN: “Indonesian Quake Death Toll Put at 23, 7.3 Magnitude.” 2/7 AOL News: “Death Toll in Indonesia Quake Rises to 34, Second Quake 7.0 Magnitude.”  ECTV: “LARGE YELLOWSTONE AREA QUAKE GOES UNREPORTED, 5.3 in the Yellowstone Caldera Volcano!” 2/11 Drudge Report, Haaretz.com:  “Quake rocks Israel, neighbor countries.” “Earthquake Rocks the Holy Land.” 2/15 AOL News: “2 Pakistan Quakes Kill 18, Damages 250 Homes.” 2/17 ECTV: “New 3.5 Magnitude Earthquake Hit Yellowstone Area on Sunday, 2/15.” 2/21 ECTV: “Third Earthquake Hits Near Yellowstone Super Volcano, 3.2.” 2/22 ECTV: “Yellowstone Area Earthquake Upgraded to 3.6 Magnitude.” 2/23 Drudge Report, Reuters: “Moderate earthquake rocks eastern France, 5.1.” 2/24 Drudge Report, My Way: “Morocco Earthquake Toll Likely to Top 300, toppled houses.  Many victims were women, children and the elderly. 6.5 Magnitude.” The RING OF FIRE has been highly active this year with many small quakes in California and Alaska as well as in the Pacific.  Check out:EARTHQUAKES! 2/25 Washington Post: “Quake in Morocco Kills at Least 550, Destroys Villages, still searching for victims.”  3/7 ECTV: “Mass Elk Deaths in Wyoming May be Tied to Seismic Activity.” 3/13 AOL News: “Moderate Earthquakes Shakes Taiwan.” 3/30 AOL News: “Iran Dramatically Revises Down Quake Toll From Last Year’s Devastating Earthquake to 26,271.” Still a tragic number of losses in terms of human lives. 4/2 Drudge Report, KTVU.COM: “SCIENTIST PREDICT MAJOR SO CAL QUAKE WITHIN 5 MONTHS.” 4/17 ECTV: “Yellowstone Super-Volcano Quadruples Its Activity.” 6/28 Drudge Report: “6.6 Hits Alaska, with at least 12 earthquakes in the area during the last 24 hours: This is the Ring of Fire!” “4.5 Quake Hits Illinois.” 7/2 CNN: “At Least 18 Dead in Turkey Quake, 50 injured, 20 seriously.” 8/5 ECTV: “Rare Earthquake Hits Upstate New York.” 9/10 ECTV: “Swarm of 17 Earthquakes Hit Oklahoma.” 9/13 Drudge Report. “3.6 Magnitude Quake Rumbles Through Indiana.” 9/19 ECTV: “Swarm of Quakes Hit Central California.”  9/24 Drudge Report: “Earthquakes Reported at Mount St. Helens.” 9/28 Drudge Report: “Earthquake Rocks Central California N. Paso Robles, Preliminary 5.9 Mag., Felt from San Francisco/Sacramento to N. of Los Angeles. Swarms in 3. and 4.

St. Helens Continues Its Threat to Erupt.” She only hiccupped. Wait until she BURPS. 10/3 Yahoo News: “Western Mexico’s Volcano of Fire Spews Lava.” This is part of the Ring of Fire. Drudge Report: “Alert Raised for Mt. St. Helens.” 10/8 Drudge Report: “Large Earthquake Shakes the Philippine Capital of Manila.” 10/23 CNN: “Two Powerful Earthquakes Shake Northwestern Japan Over 2 Hour Period, 2 Dead, 90 Injured, toppling homes, causing blackouts, cutting water and gas service, and derailing a bullet train.”  More Ring of Fire activity. 10/24 CNN: “Japan Awakes to Quake Devastation: 3 powerful quakes, 18 confirmed dead, over 1500 injured.” Something equally devastating is about to happen somewhere on the other side of these. I hope it isn’t on the U.S. West Coast. It could be in Asia. 10/25 CNN: “New quake hits northern Japan.” 11/10 CNN: “Earthquake shakes Mount Rainier.”

STRESS AND STRAIN in corporate places could well be complicated with NATURAL DISASTERS adding to their difficulties.  Major losses possible.10/2 General Media and agricultural disaster: I would say that the 4 hurricanes in Florida apply to this prediction.

URPRISE WEDDINGS delight some and disappoint others.  More than one HEART THROB walks down the aisle this year!  Female fans will sob in protest!1/5 CNN: “Britney Spears Ties the Knot, weds childhood friend.” 1/6 AOL News:  “Britney Spears Quickie Marriage Annulled.” That’s show biz!  I wonder if her business manager made that decision for her??? 6/7 CNN: “J- Lo Dances Down the Aisle with Salsa Singer Marc Anthony.” I wonder how many husbands she’ll end up with?

FROM 2003 PREDICTIONS:URANUS entered PISCES the first time on MARCH 10, 2003.  This was the beginning of dramatic changes affecting OCEANS, RIVERS and STREAMS.  It was also the start of dramatic PSYCHIC IMPRESSIONS for the masses, a quickening in CONSCIOUSNESS around the globe over a seven year period.  PROPHETIC DREAMS now become commonplace.  All matters of the PSYCHIC, UNCONSCIOUS REALMS surface with startling REVELATIONS on a worldwide basis to include greater confirmation of LIFE AFTER DEATH and the survival of the soul.  3/14 Yahoo News: SCIENTIST CLAIM PROOF OF AFTERLIFE:  Scientists at the University of Arizona have done extensive research, and say that they have the proof that when we die we continue to live beyond our physical bodies. “Almost anyone who sees the data says there’s something real here,” said one of the researchers.  Allison Dubois is a spiritual medium, or someone thought to be able to communicate with the dead.  Christine Vettore was brought in for a reading with Dubois, who attempted to contact Vettore’s dead relatives.  “I’m hopeful that there’s an afterlife so I can see everybody I’ve lost already,” said Vettore.  It doesn’t take long─within seconds, Dubois says Vettore’s daughter is coming through.  It is a gift Dubois says she’s had her whole life, but it comes with a lot of criticism.”  Any psychic or mediumistic gift comes with a whole lot of criticism, but there are many gifted mediums and psychics around the world doing the WORK to prove that the third dimension is not the only aspect to conscious living.  LIFE IS ETERNAL. 9/24 2011 CNN/John Blake: Do loved ones bid farewell from beyond the grave? “Some people claim loved ones have contacted them after death. Paranormal investigators call these events ‘crisis apparitions’ and say they take many forms. Some witnesses say apparitions appear lifelike, and that the images are reassuring. Woman who encountered apparition, ‘He needed to say goodbye.'” NEPTUNE is in and out of PISCES now.

Nominated for OSCARS: LORD OF THE RINGS, COLD MOUNTAIN, MYSTIC RIVER.  With RETURN OF THE KING wrapping up the superb Tolkien trilogy that I happen to love … it’s my bet that LORD OF THE RINGS will SWEEP the OSCARS this year!  We’ll see!  There are a lot of good movies out there.  Especially tough call this time around!1/11 AOL News: “RETURN OF THE KING” Wins Critic’s Choice Award, best acting ensemble, best director.” 1/12 CNN: “Pirates, Hobbits Take Top Awards at People’s Choice.  PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN takes top picture award, RETURN OF THE KING wins best drama award.” 1/18 CNN: “Produces Guild of America names “Rings” best picture.” 1/25  “LORD OF THE RINGS” sweeps GOLDEN GLOBES: “Best Director, Best film score, Best Original Song, BEST DRAMATIC PICTURE.”  I told you so!  LOOK OUT OSCARS….HERE COMES LORD OF THE RINGS!  Drudge Report: “RINGS King at Golden Globes.” 1/25 CNN: “RINGS Dominates Globes.”  1/27 Drudge Report: “LORD OF THE RINGS Receives 11 Oscar Nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.”  I seem to have been wrong about the nomination for COLD MOUNTAIN for Best Picture, except Renee Zellweger and Jude Law were nominated for their acting and the picture received  5 other nominations.  I’m pleased SEABISCUIT made the cut for Best Picture!  Excellent film!  2/8 AOL News: “Peter Jackson Wins Top Directors Guild Award for LORD OF THE RINGS, RETURN OF THE KING.” CNN: “Hobbits capture key Hollywood award.” 2/17 CNN: “RINGS Shines at UK Oscars…Best Picture.” 2/22 CNN: “RINGS Wins Again: British directors name third and final “LORD OF THE RINGS” movie as BEST INTERNATIONAL FILM.” 2/22 TNT, Screen Actors’ Guild Awards: “LORD OF THE RINGS, Return of the King, Best Ensemble Cast Motion Picture.”  I may not be able to pick a president, but I guess I can pick a MOTION PICTURE!!!I guess my spirit guides want to keep me humble???  And honestly, I can’t wait to leave this psychic work behind me. 2/24 CNN: “RINGS Hits $1 Billion Box Office Mark: second movie ever worldwide.” AOL Best Motion Picture: LORD OF THE RINGS, THE RETURN OF THE KING. 2/29 AOL News: “RINGS is Lord of the Oscars.  11 Honors ties Titanic.” CNN: “RINGS  Sweeps Oscars, Including Best Picture and Best Director, Penn, Theron Tops in Acting.” “LORD OF THE OSCARS.” AOL News: “Jackson Honored for “Rings” Finale.” 3/1 Drudge Report: “Rings Blowout: Matches Records Set By Titanic, Ben Hur.” It is unfortunate that all the fine actors involved in bringing this 9 hour Tolkien trilogy to the screen were not nominated for their superb character work in a wonderful story that will continue to thrill movie fans and theatergoers around the world for a long, long time to come.  But then, if these actors had been nominated for their fine acting no one else in any of the other films would have received any recognition at all last night.  Hobbits, elves, dwarves, wizards and a handsome king  would have reaped all of the awards!  And I do hope that some of the financial rewards generated by these films and the sale of videos and DVDs will be shared with these deserving and talented actors!  It’s a big relief to be right about LORD OF THE RINGS! I’m going to see RETURN OF THE KING on the big screen again!  I love the movies!

NASTY ACCUSATIONS fly, some by false accusers that make a big noise!  5/5 NY Times: “Disney Forbidding Distribution of Film That Criticizes Bush.”

INTRIGUE is brought to public attention.  Whodunit?  Bad karma on the way and in evidence!4/22 AOL News: “Michael Jackson Indicted.”

Someone NEW is raised to a POSITION of POWER. Suspicion is likely! 3/9 Washington Post: “Haiti’s Prime Minister Chosen.”

POWER STRUGGLES surprise many.  New information comes to light. 1/1 Arab News: “Israel to Expand Golan Heights.”  Promises, false promises!  3/11 Washington Post: “Kerry Decries GOP as ‘Crooked’ and ‘Lying.'” 3/15 CNN: “Iraq war opponents March to White House…peace activists along with family members of US troops.” Drudge Report: “New Spain Leader Declares Iraq War ‘Disaster’.” “Spain Vows to Pull Soldiers Out.” “EU Calls Emergency Meeting.” “White House Challenges Kerry to Name His Foreign Supporters.” 3/16 NY Times: “Spain Will Loosen Its Ties With US, Premier Elect Says.” “Ex UN Inspector Has Harsh Words for Bush.” Drudge Report: “Kerry Sticks to Claim of World Support.” “GI Seeks Conscientious Objector Status.” “Two More GIs in Iraq Seek Objector Status.” This is going to happen more and more.  What are these young people dying for?  The enemy seems to be everywhere!  3/17 CNN: “Zapatero Rejects Bush Iraq Call.” “Military Families Urge Censure for Bush as Congress Marks Iraq Anniversary.” “Dean: Bush to Blame for Spain.” 3/19 Drudge Report: “Former UN weapons inspector Blix says Iraq war may have worsened terror threat.” No kidding!

Last night the rumors were in danger of becoming a full blown scandal.”   2/20 AOL News: “SCANDAL AT COLORADO: New Sex Allegation Emerges at Colorado: 7th allegation since 1997.” 2/26 NY Times: “Rapes Reported by Servicewomen in Persian Gulf and Elsewhere…gravest accusations of sexual misconduct in years, dozens of women claiming assault or rape by fellow troops.” 2/27 NY Times: “Two Studies Cite Child Sex Abuse by 4 Percent of Priests.” Washington Post: “162 Boston Priests Faced Abuse Claims.” 2/29 NY Times: “Hussein’s Regime Skimmed Billions from Aid Programs, funneled through network of foreign bank accounts in violation of United Nation sanctions.” 3/3 NY Times: “Ex WorldCom Chief Indicted by U.S. in Securities Fraud.” 3/9 CNN: “UCLA Cadaver Program Director Arrested for Selling Body Parts.”  3/29 AOL News: “Indictment Recommended for Israel’s Sharon.” 4/27 CNN: “Schindler Co-Producer Guilty of fraud on bribery charge.”  5/14 CNN: “Riggs Bank Fined $25 Million in Terrorism Probe for Money Laundering.” 6/14 CNN: “Japan Put on Sex-Trade Watch List Re: Sex Slavery.” 6/21 CNN: “Al Qaeda Militants Say They Were Helped By Saudi Forces.” 8/13 CNN: “Married NJ Governor admits gay affair, quits.”

PUBLIC ARGUMENTS are called debates.  Tempers flare all around.  Politics?   Hmmm!

ONE FALLS FROM GRACE…. possibly right on his/her face!  The higher you go the longer the fall and the harder the crunch!  The price of being a public figure.3/6 NY Times: “Martha Stewart Found Guilty on All Six Counts, She Plans to Appeal.” 3/8 NY Times: “Guilty Verdicts Gives Executives a New Focus: Risk of Prison.”  3/9 NY Times: “As Stewart Attends Hearing, Company Studies Options.” 5/21 NY Times: “Chalabi’s Seat of Honor Lost to Open Political Warfare With U.S.  Did he peddle info to Iran?” “Iraqis and GIs Raid the Offices of an Ex-Favorite.” CNN  “Married NJ Governor admits gay affair, quits.”

Those with POWER move FORWARD, stragglers are left behind.  By JULY some change their minds.7/7 News Media: “John Kerry Picks John Edwards as VP Running Mate.” In the past it seems these decisions were made at a convention???  (I don’t remember this happening before the conventions. Times have certainly changed.)

BELOVED OLD TIMER or two pass beyond the veil. Gratitude is mixed with loss.  FAMOUS MOTION PICTURE STARS leave the Stage of Life and are well remembered. 3/19 Drudge Report: “J.J. Jackson, One of MTV’s First VJs, Dies at Age 62.” 4/10 AOL News: “Actress Carries Snodgrass dies at age 57: Oscar nominee starred in ‘Diary of a Mad Housewife.'”  4/11 CNN: “Co-Pilot of Nagasaki Bomb Plane Dies, 82.” 5/10 AOL News, Reuters: “Comedian and Actor Alan King died of lung cancer, 76.” 5/18 AOL News: “Actor Tony Randall Dead at 84.” 6/10 Washington Post: “Singer Ray Charles Dies at 73.” I guess Reagan needed a blues singer at his party, and Ray got tired of hanging out here! 7/2 AOL News:  America Loses A Movie Legend: MARLON BRANDO Dead at 80, Hollywood’s Last Rebel.” 7/12 AOL News:  “Isabel Sanford of The Jeffersons dies, 86.” 8/5 Drudge Report: “Genius French Photographer Cartier-Bresson Dead at 95.”  8/7 CNN: “Super Freak Singer, Rick James, Dies, 56.” 8/8 CNN: “Red Adair, World Renowned Firefighter, Dies, 89, Inspired John Wayne Movie.”  8/9 AOL News: “Actress Fay Wray of King Kong fame dies, 96.”  8/13 Drudge Report: “Julia Child, Famous TV Cook, Dies Age 91.” 8/20 AOL News: “Oscar Winning Composer, Elmer Bernstein, Dead, 82.” 8/25 CNN: “ON DEATH, International Psychiatrist Author, and Expert on Death and Dying, Kubler-Ross Dies, 78.” Actually, I don’t think she’d find the tear necessary.

BUSINESS is GOOD in AUGUST.  Milestones!  But the Stock Market experiences checks and balances. 7/26 CNN: “Stocks Bounce Up Seen.” “Gas Prices Dip Again.” 8/19 Drudge Report: “Oil at all-time high.”

BIG PROBLEMS in the DESERT.  All that blows is not sand.  Poisonous promises. 5/29 NY Times: “Dozens of American and European Hostages Released After Killing at least 10.” 7/9 CNN: “Coalition Records Its 1,000th Death in Iraq.” How many thousands are going to die before it’s over? 7/28 AOL News:  “Suicide Bomb Kills 68 in Iraq.” “Doctor Group to Withdraw From Afghanistan due to 5 members of its group being killed.” 8/7 CNN: “Marines Report 300 Insurgents Killed in Najaf.” 8/26 CNN: “At Least 25 Dead as Mortar Hits Kofu Mosque.” I won’t be listing all this madness either. Thousands and thousands are bound to die before the US is smart enough to get out of there. 9/8 CNN: “U.S. Death Toll in Iraq Passes 1000.” 9/14 AOL News: “20 Said Killed in U.S. Air Strikes in Iraq.” CNN: “Car Bomb at Police Station Kills 32.”

FIGHT and FLIGHT are involved…but where do we go? 6/3 AOL News: “CIA Director Tenet Resigns.” 8/20 NY Times: “Friendly Fire: The Birth of an Anti-Kerry Ad: Texas Republicans and vets angered at Kerry’s take on the war.”

DISGRACE for a WOMAN of prominence accompanied by much publicity.  Fairly disgusting.  3/10 CNN: “Martha to Quit Her Company.”  NY Times: “Now, the Search for the Next Diva of Domesticity.”

MAJOR WINNINGS in a court of law…but can you really get blood out of a turnip? 9/11 CNN: “Kobe Bryant Rape Case Dismissed.”

In SEPTEMBER expect MAJOR EXPLOSIONS, physical and emotional.  The Angel of Death calls for large numbers.  There is wonder and amazement.  2/6 NY Times: “At Least 22 Said Killed in Explosion in Moscow Subway.”  CNN: “Moscow Rush Hour Train Blast Kills 39.” 2/18 CNN: “Fuel-Laden Train Cars Explode in Iran, 200 Dead.” 2/29 NY Times: “At Least 3 Killed in Tanker Explosion Off Virginia Coast.” CNN: “Tanker Explodes Off Virginia Coast.” 3/11 AOL News: “Terrorist Bombs: Multiple Blasts in Madrid Leave 190 Dead, 1200 Wounded, Newspaper Receives Claim of Responsibility in the Name of  al-Qaida.”  The madness of the Kali Yuga. 3/12 CNN: “Spain Mourns Train Bomb Victims as Killers are Hunted.” 3/26 CNN: “Tanker Crash Closes Connecticut Interstate: fuel oil tanker exploded.” 3/28 CNN: “Thai Bomb Injures 30.” 4/4 NY Times: “Blast in Madrid Kills 3 Suspects of Train Attack and 1 special forces agent.” CNN: “Spain: Suspects Chanted in Arabic as They Died.” 4/10 CNN: “8 Die, Many Missing in Russian Mine after an explosion in coal mine.” 4/11 CNN:”36 Dead in Russian Mine Blast.” 4/12 CNN: “Russian Mine Toll Rises to 40.” 4/22 Drudge Report, My Way: “Report: Trains Explode in North Korea; as many as 3,000 killed or injured when two trains carrying oil and liquefied petroleum gas collided and exploded.” This is a prime example of the current MARS-PLUTO opposition. Watch it! 4/24 CNN: “Report: 154 Dead in N. Korea Blast.” AOL News: “At Least 2 Killed in Illinois Plant Explosion.” 4/25 CNN: “Boats Explode Near Key Iraqi Oil Site, 2 U.S. Sailors Die.”  “Illinois Chemical Plant Blast Kills 4.” 5/5 CNN: “Bombs Hit Athens Police Station: 100 Day Countdown to Olympics.” Fairly predictable, with this only the beginning. 6/16 AOL News: “China Coal Mine Blast Kills at Least 15.” The explosions in Iraq seem to be daily. I just can’t list all the madness in the desert. NY Times: “2 Pipeline Blasts Halt Oil Exports at Top Iraq Port.” Seems to me the OIL can be what pays for the rebuilding of Iraq without outside money. 6/17 NY Times: “Car Bomb Kills at Least 14 Outside Iraqi Army Base.” CNN: “Car Bomb at Recruitment Centers Kills 35.” 6/18 NY Times: “41 Iraqis Killed in Two Car Bomb Attacks;  At Least 142 Others Are Wounded.” 6/24 CNN:  “90 Dead in Tanker Horror Smash, 114 Wounded in Southeastern Iran.”  “Turkey Bus Explosion Kills Four.” 6/27 AOL News: “Death Toll Rises to 40 in Attack in Hillah.” “Three Turks Held in Iraq Blast, Kills 19.”  7/11 CNN:  “Tel Aviv Blast: 1 Dead, 20 Wounded.”  “Blast Kills 5 in Afghan City.”  I can’t keep up with all these killings, so will not list them all. Humanity seems to have forgotten its HUMANE nature in many parts of the world. My prayer is for consciousness to raise to a higher, more compassionate expression. Forgiveness needs to be practiced by all, though it is hard to forgive those who murder innocent victims in a senseless war. 7/12 Drudge Report: “Explosion Cuts Power at O’Hare Airport in Chicago.” 7/14 CNN:  “Car Bomb Kills at Least 10 in Baghdad.” 9/10 CNN: “Deadly Blasts Hit Turkey Hotels.” NY Times:”Blasts Damage Two Hotels and Gas Plant in Turkey.” 8/13 CNN: “Two Bombs Explode in Spain.” 8/15 CNN: “At Least 10 Killed in Asam Blast in Northeastern India.” 8/22 AOL News: “18 Killed by Bombs at Bangladesh Rally.” “Car Bomb Explodes North of Baghdad.” Too many of these to post them all. 8/26 AOL News: “Bomb Explodes in Thai Market, Wounding 25, Killing 1.” 8/30 CNN: “Blast Hits US Firm in Kabul, killing 7.” 9/1 CNN: “16 Killed in Suicide Bombings on Buses in Israel.” “Moscow Suicide Bomber Kills 9.” The world has gone mad. I can’t believe that any religion teaches such inhumanity! 9/5 CNN: “Russian School Siege Death Toll Tops 350 Women and Children.” “More Than 40 Die in Iraq Violence.” 9/9 AOL News: “Blast Rocks Indonesia Near Embassy, 6 Dead.” “Ten Dead in Falluja Air Strike.” 9/10 AOL News: “Jakarta Blast Kills 9, Possibly 3 Bombers.” 9/17 CNN: “Iraq Car Bomb, MANY casualties.” 9/18 AOL News: “Loud Explosion Booms Across Baghdad.” “Day of Violence in Iraq Kills at Least 52.” 9/26 CNN: “Judge Critically  Injured When Home Explodes.” Drudge Report: “Jeanne Pummels Florida With Wind, Rain.” 10/1 CNN: “94 Insurgents Killed in Samarra.” “Pakistan Mosque Bomb Kills 18.” “Eight More Killed in Gaza Battle.” A bloody day all around. “Blast Wounds Lebanese Lawmaker.” 10/2 CNN: “Bombs in Northeast India Kill 35.” 1/4 CNN: “At Least 16 Dead in Baghdad Blast.”  10/8 CNN: “At Least 26 Killed as Bombs Rock Egyptian Resort.” “Paris Indonesian Embassy Bomb Blast Kills 10.” “Falluja Airstrikes Kills 14.” NY Times:  “Death Toll Uncertain After 3 Explosions Hit Resorts.” This has been a tragic fall. 10/21 AOL News:  “Explosion in Chinese Coal Mine Kills 56.” 10/25 AOL News: “Death Toll In China Mine Explosion now 86.” 10/26 AOL News: “China: Confirmed Death Toll in Mine at 122.” 11/28 CNN: “CHINA:170 Miners Still Trapped After Gas Explosion.” 12/10 AOL News: “Coal Mine Blast in China Kills 33.”

DECEPTION comes to light.  Sadness.  Disappointment.  9/20 Drudge Report: “Exclusive Statement From Dan Rather Admitting an Error in Judgment Concerning Bush Documents on National Guard.”  “Bush Official Wants CBS Moderator Off Debate.” “CBS Coordinated Bush Bash With Kerry Campaign; Aide Talked to Retired Guard Officer.”  9/22 Drudge Report: “Cigarette Makers Lied for 50 Years.”

I see Julia Roberts holding a baby!  A boy it seems.  Congratulations!BINGO!  6/3 AOL News: “OSCAR WINNER JULIA ROBERTS PREGNANT WITH TWINS.” One could be a boy….or even both!  We’ll see! 11/28 AOL News: “JULIA ROBERTS GIVE BIRTH TO TWINS. IT’S A BOY! IT’S A GIRL!” I was right on 1 count! And I was certainly right about babies, and this prediction was made last December, so there!

GLITZ and GLAMOUR for a STAR of renown… an unlikely candidate.
