Someone went to a bit of trouble to create this, and it’s obviously influential to the ‘deep state’ types, after stumbling upon a NWO page.
Shame it’s just based on paranoia and complete fakery.
It’s a bit like the 80s obsession with Nostradamus, anything that even vaguely resembles, after the fact, a newsworthy incident is held as proof positive that they must have foreseen it. The Simpson’s complicates things by creating cartoons based on events after they happen, which get reposted as predictions.Shame it’s just based on paranoia and complete fakery.
Nostradamus was something of a myth really - someone said he predicted the high inflation of 2023 but the actual quote used is something along the lines that the wheat will grow so high man will eat man, which can be applied in any metaphorical way you like. He also predicts loads of things through poem that had no relevance to any large global events. Effectively he wrote metaphorically in a way that it could be interpreted how you like, a bit like the bible.

) dog would fail a basic theory of mind test used as part of a daignostic pathway for autism,Well the eclipse today across the USA has caused all sorts of conspiracy theories, even Alex Jones thinks its a nefarious plot by scientists to harvest and use negative energy against people. Of course there are the usual stack of 'end of days' cults saying it will happen today. Not sure what happens to them when it doesn't.

indeed, he foretold the demise of the Ford Focus. Amazing.
Haha indeed...probably something like...."There will be a steed that will wilter and fall ending with the deshoeing of its hide"
"On the 7th of February 2024 Ford informed its workforce at the Saarlouis plant about the signing of a social tariff agreement and a key points paper in connection with the end of Ford Focus production in November 2025. Subject to the formal steps for implementation, this marks an important milestone in the negotiations with the social partners on the social collective agreement, reconciliation of interests and social plan that have been ongoing since 2023. A key component of these agreements is the planned gradual reduction of around 2,700 jobs through socially responsible, voluntary redundancy programmes. In addition, Ford stands by its commitment to retain or create 1,000 jobs at the Saarlouis site."
Typical waffle.
