Obama’s Spill Recovery Chief Will Be Part-Time
The whole story is both good and interesting, but the first two paragraphs are what caught my attention and sent me to my copy of Nostradamus’ prophecies.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s point man charting a new future for the oil-poisoned Gulf Coast will do the job part-time. Some environmentalists said the job demands someone’s full attention.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who oversees 900,000 Navy and Marine personnel, is inheriting an amorphous second job as the Obama administration’s leader of long-term environmental and economic planning. His task is no less than rebuilding a region still suffering after Hurricane Katrina and beset by decades of environmental problems.
Mabus is a well-known name to anyone familiar with Nostradamus, even though it appears only once, in Century 2, Quatrain 62:
Mabus will then soon die, there will come a terrible descruction of people and animals. Suddenly vengeance will be revealed, hundred, hands, thirst and hunger, when the comet passes.
There have been numerous attempts to identify the mysterious Mabus, ever since the Quatrains began coming out in 1555. About the only thing that wasn’t identified as Mabus (at least in anything I’ve read so far) is someone with that actual name! Anagrams, twistings of other names, any word game you can imagine, though, has been tried.
I will freely admit that I’m no better at interpreting Nostradamus in advance of the events than anyone else is, so take this with the proverbial shaker of salt. It’s hard, though, not to make a connection when you actually have someone with that name put in chrage of a large area’s recovery from a huge environmental devastation that could easily become even worse if, say, a hurricane hits.
As long as Mabus stays healthy and no comets show up, we should be okay prophetically, but if he dies and/or a comet is discovered, it looks like at least the Gulf area’s in a world of hurt. But cheer up, it isn’t the end of the world; Nostradamus himself, in the Preface to his Centuries (written to his son Cesar) that “The work comprises prophecies from today to the year 3797. ” And the end of the Mayan calendar on 21 December 2012 is the end of a cycle, not of the world or universe.
