Fifth Prophecy: A City in Agony

A CITY IN AGONY It is a colossal city built along and across the coast whose elevated skyscrapers rise as concrete and crystal columns that make the tower of Babel look as a naive project to reach the heavens. It’s midday and the sea looks calm and quiet as an immense sea of ice, blue and shiny. The combined energy released by dwellers of this city resembles a gigantic acoustic shell. The colors of this energy shell, which is unnoticed by the inhabitants of this enormous city, reveal that something is going to burst into their lifes. Energy fields interweave and clash generating great energy streams that resemble a lightening storm. However, for the people of this city this is a clear and sunny day that goes normally. It is perhaps too clear for a normal hot day. A soft murmuring of five seconds, which is only perceived by the rats, comes from the deepest part of the earth. Scared rats run under the sewer lids, their squeaks resound in a deafening way. Minutes later there is another stronger murmuring from the earth that lasts a little longer. It has just the power to make vibrate the tiny particles of dust accumulated on the borders of the sidewalks. Due to the noise of the city, people don’t notice anything. But in the parks, the birds have abandoned the trees. More than 30 minutes later occurs a more intense rumoring from the earth that lasts even longer. This time the rumor was noticed by some people. Some people start to look worried, others run to the phone cabins to call their relatives. Suddenly a terrifying roaring raises from within the earth like a monster that comes out with the fury due to the abrupt convulsions of the interior of the earth. The floor sinks in some parts swallowing parks, houses and buildings. People run terrified. Great blocks of concrete and glass fell from the heights smashing everything, and creating enormous clouds of dust. The roaring continues at the interior of the earth and the floor continues to wave as in the middle of a painful convulsion. Heartrending screams are drowned by the enormous crash which seems not to have end. Many buildings fall, explosions can be heard everywhere. The waste waters run over the rubble. Clouds of dust mix with violent flares and black columns of fumes. The tragedy reaches cataclysmic dimensions, very few things remain up. Explosions can be heard two hours after the earthquake. Everything is chaos and confusion. Electricity does not work, water system is broken, and telephones do not function. On the highways many cars have fallen into gigantic cracks open by the shake. After three hours the earth still shakes and roars. People who start to walk on the streets seem like automats, like zombies. The news of the tragedy goes from state to state, from nation to nation. Ten days later the rubble hasn’t been removed. No statistics about damages and victims. Corpses still lie everywhere, the stink becomes unbearable; a cloud of flies invades the city. Many survivors have left, many were left in misery. Vandalistic hordes have looted the markets that lie under the ruins, and provisions are scarce. The phantom of an epidemic hangs around due to the deficient health conditions. Epidemic is a victor phantom that seizes many undefended victims. Indefatigable is the struggle to produce a vaccine, but the factor that triggers the epidemic is very complex. Survivors fall dead everywhere, thus, complicating the situation. The government is left with no other option but to declare the city in state of quarantine to stop the dissemination of the disease. Nobody is allowed to leave until the critical episode is resolved. These measurements cause panic among the population and their relatives in other cities who believe that their beloved ones were abandoned to a sure death. Twenty days after, the electricity is reestablished in some areas. The water service still faces serious difficulties. Helicopters flight over the city dropping provisions, blankets and medicines. The situation is still chaotic. The nation and the world have been shocked by the dimensions of the tragedy.

Fourth Prophecy: Run gringo, run!

RUN GRINGO RUN “Run gringo run”, will be the most heard expression by “United Staters” across Latin America. The oppression exercised by the US on the Latin peoples is so unbearable that people are turning violent and start to burn and destroy North American properties across the continent. “Do not consume gringo products”, people express on the streets. ”Not to corporations, and religious sects that propagate American ideologies”. Not to sloppy figures walking down our streets and country sides”. * The xenophobia unleashed against them grows deeper, and people turn from words to actions. Not only their houses, cars and properties are marked with aggressive signs, but also they are assaulted, kidnapped and killed. The situation is such that the US government warns, and threatens to use its military might. It attempts to undermine these governments through the work of secret organisms, which has always constituted its major weapon. But this time is different, it isn’t just one country that has rebelled, is almost the entire Latin America The US is aware that invading is a double edged sword, but cannot afford to lose their properties. Destabilizing governments is again the strategy. For these purposes it makes unworkable promises if their demands are listened to. It offers weapons to the armies, which at the same time help the US get rid of so much junk and garbage whose storage has become cumbersome. It promises to strengthen democracies for which it creates enemies everywhere. To the youth they promise scholarships, technology transfer and labs. The US government seems like a mad politician on the eve of elections, making promises that is unable to keep, trying to gain some time. Only the weakest governments give up to the pressure and to the offers, but later on they realize their mistake and that their freedom and sovereignty has been lost. This deception makes them really upset, when they find themselves turned into puppets of a bizarre comedy. From now on, they will be more cautious before the twisted and truculent style of the American diplomacy. Numbers of protesters walk on the streets, they burn American flags as a sing of protest, and repeat over and over “Gringos out”. The US government threatens to invade. But the only mentioning of the word “invasion” exacerbates the feelings, turning them volatile. For many Americans the only resource left is to run away and leave for the fear of retaliations. To those who refuse to leave, their properties are destroyed and looted. The US government demands security for its citizens, but these demands fall on deaf ears, because the memories of its mocks cannot be forgiven. When they are about to get in the planes that are taking them back to their country, they are booed by the crowd; they are thrown tomatoes and rotten eggs. They really look humbled and tired. They feel their dignity has been violated, and their social and economic status hit. In their minds they brood over. It is not the first time they have to rush to leave a continent under the accusatory gaze of those whom once they subjugated. These happenings mean more problems for the government. What to do with all these new wave of jobless? There are so many that it worsens the existing chaos of the country. And how to recover the millions in loses left when factories and oil wells were abandoned in the rush. And they wonder how could have been possible that so many unpleasant and discouraging events have happened to them during the last years. But they do not accept yet that they are just harvesting the result of what they have planted throughout their convulsive history. Because when you grow so many thorns you cannot expect to collect silky and scented flowers. Neighboring countries turn against the US, reinforcing border tariffs. On one border there are huge signs written “Gringos not allowed, their access is forbidden.” Exports become more and more difficult, and imports follow the same pattern. Some members of the government exclaim “this is an international conspiracy; they want to put us against the corner” “Run gringo run” becomes an irony in itself. And when this statement is applied to the reality becomes even more ironic, because Americans now go from one place to another within their own country, looking for jobs and for better guaranties to live and work. But it seems like all the States are infected with the same problems; very few factories, few farms, and too much drug-addiction. In spite of the extension of the country, the nation feels asphyxiated by its own needs. Many cry “How to emigrate if all the doors are closed?” “Run gringo run...” is a sentence carried by the howling wind. It is a sign which doesn’t let them rest. It is as if the earth itself did not like to be trodden by them. Notes: *Latin Americans of all social classes show their respect for others by dressing up everytime they go out. American visitors on the other hand are known for disregarding this custom and believing they have the right to bypass all social norms.

Third Prophecy: The eagle cannot longer fly

United States’ Large Corporations are silently but quickly abandoning the country in the search for more profitable markets overseas which offer easier ways of making money, thus, leaving behind millions of unemployed Americans who now live in uncertainty. Many Mexicans and Africans who have migrated to the US and do the heavy labor job Americans do not want to do such us fruit picking, construction and cleaning, etc., are blamed for “stealing” American jobs. This is already happening, but was predicted in this book and I present it here as the Third Prophecy RACISM RIDES AGAIN ON A RUNAWAY HORSE Old racial conflicts will rise from their tombs where they were supposed to lay. Some people will steer the ashes of hatred spreading them on the air for the winds of new storms to carry them to the corners of the country. It will happen in a time when is believed that a change of mentality has tied up these memories to the past with heavy chains. Well, racism will be back, and will grow extreme. It will target blacks and latinos mainly. A psychological war will be undertaken giving birth to the persecution and expulsion of latinos and people of other nationalities who will see their most fundamental rights being violated in the most unspeakable ways. The mob will persecute and lynch them on the streets. They will be called “thirty foreigners” and “Latino pigs”, and xenophobia will be the government secret but official policy in the US, who will put the blame for all social problems on the “foreign enemies”, accusing them of trying to debilitate the nation. They won’t admit that the decline of the country lies on the family decomposition and wrong cultural and social values which gave money the first priority in human existence. In other times regarded as the most powerful nation on earth, the USA crumbles under the unstoppable tide of internal conflicts. Its leaders realize that keeping control is a breathtaking task; rebellions emerge in the most unbelievable places. States previously regarded as peaceful start rebelling and releasing the anger they hold for long years. The rebellion grows more and more organized, and now their purpose is to overthrow the government. This is the result of hard economic conditions that deteriorate day by day. From outside many will exclaim: “Fight of social classes in the US?” The Monroe doctrine will be brought back. “America is for the Americans”. “Dollars are for Americans only”. Immigrants who have lived in the US all their life will be removed from their jobs, dispossessed from their homes, shops, restaurants, factories, radio and TV stations. Whatever smells foreign will be destroyed. “Foreigners out!” will be their motto and will be an obsession in the mind of every American. Even the children of immigrants who were born in the US will be mistreated and insulted. They will be forced to abandon their country, by giving them arbitrary deadlines to leave. Every foreigner will be turned into a pariah. The government will encourage this situation as a means of providing solution for unemployment. The other nations of the world will no longer regard this country as a powerful ally, but as a nation which is going down in a free fall. What a turn around! That which seemed imperturbable, has turned fragile as thin crystal. The eagle cannot longer fly, its wings got completely broken. .

Second Prophecy: A tough winter

THE FLOODGATES AND THE CANALS ARE BROKEN A tough winter will cover with snow a large part of the country for more than 60 days paralyzing all activities. The phenomenon will affect several states in the south as well as in the north. Winters will become gradually tougher as the years pass; people won’t give importance to these events as they believe that on the contrary the weather is becoming warmer.* Airports in many cities will be closed and it will be impossible for the government to bring help to thousands of people buried under the snow in their own houses and cars. Many people will die on the streets and won’t have time to protect themselves, will be caught by surprise. The snow will reach up to 3 or 4 meters in many places. The water and sewage systems will be frozen. TV and radio broadcasts will be permanently interrupted. Panic and anxiety will hit people everywhere. Because of the paralysis of all activities, and the isolation of many groups, food provisions will be scarce; some people will die of hunger. Hospitals won’t be spared; many patients will die of cold, pneumonic and inanition. At the end of this winter, the snow will melt, and fed by unexpected storms will sweep away houses and human corpses in a very dramatic way. Floodgates and canals will be broken. There will be a great number of victims as well as huge economic loss. This event will be remembered in the years to come as one of the greatest national tragedies.
