Seven prophecies against the United States of America

These are the prophecies from a strange book I found in a bookshop in Bogotá. I got to know about the book because of a newspaper clip taped to the window of the shop that sold the book copies. I was surprised by the fact that a book containing prophecies against the US was given an entire newspaper page for its review. The title of the book is “US: from opulence to affliction”, and its author is Colombian Jairo Hernando Rojas Galvis.

“US: from opulence to affliction” which I prefer to translate as “US: from opulence to suplice”, because I think suplice (from French) refers to that type of suffering that happens for one’s own spiritual redemption. The book contains a message for the most powerful nation on the world, and has been written in a very simple and direct manner, without the obscure symbolism that opens prophecies to an infinite number of interpretations.

FIRST PROPHECY: A SINIESTER FIGURE EMERGES FROM THE SHADOWS

The sinister character that emerges from the shadows is a powerful person or group of people who hold the power in the US. They are powerful because they managed to control the weapons trade and industry, the space industry, the religious societies, the drug traffic and the mass media. Their control over the political parties turned these institutions into the most powerful Mafia organizations on earth, more powerful than the extinct Italian, Colombian, Chinese and Russian Mafias. Thanks to them, the most lucrative illegal businesses are now in the hand of the Americans.

The corrupt political parties will start to fight each other in a mafia style war that will see an escalation in the pubic scandals due to destitutions and political assassinations.

SECOND PROPEHCY: THE FLOODGATES AND THE CANALS ARE BROKEN

A tough winter will cover large part of the US with snow for more than 60 days. The meteorological phenomenon will paralyse the country. There will be general panic. Many people will die, hospitals will be crowded, but medicines and provisions will be insufficient. At the end of the winter, the snow will melt and fed by storms will sweep away houses and corpses. The floodgates that protect the cities will be broken. There will be a great number of victims and the diaster will be remembered as one of the greatest national tragedies.

THIRD PROPHECY: RACISM RIDES AGAIN ON A RUNAWAY HORSE

People in privileged positions will steer the ashes of hatred spreading them in the air for the winds to carry them across the country. It will target blacks and Latinos mainly. Latinos whose families lived for generations in that land, even before the arrival of the anglos, will be treated as foreigners and their properties destroyed and taken from them. They will be persecuted and lynched on the streets.

There will be street battles between whites and blacks, the blacks will suffer most of the losses as whites have always reserved the best guns for themselves.

The government will put the blame for the social problems on foreign governments, denying these are the result of the decades of negligence.

There will be a turn around. There will be a fight of social classes in the US. Americans will rise against their own government, their goal will be to overthrow them.

The other nations of the world will no longer regard the US as a powerful ally, but as a nation which is going down on a free fall. As an eagle who cannot longer fly.

FOURTH PROPEHCY: RUN GRINGO RUN

Latin America will rebel against the US. They will no longer take the unbearable pressure exercised upon them. They start campaigns to ban “gringo products”, “gringo corporations” and “gringo religious sects”. They no longer want to see American hippy-like figures walking down their streets.

American properties all over Latin America are destroyed by the crowds, Americans are kidnapped, killed and expelled. The US government threatens to invade, but the threats only exacerbate the feelings making them worse. Americans who lose their jobs and properties flee promising revenge.

“Run gringo run” becomes more ironic, as hordes of jobless Americans move from one extreme of their country looking for jobs. But all the states are infected with the same problems. Many think of emigrating to other countries but find that the doors are closed. The borders with Canada and Mexico are now sealed.

FIFTH PROPEHCY: A CITY IN AGONY

A massive earthquake will destroy one of the US major coastal cities. The magnitude of the catastrophe is such that the city will never be rebuilt.

SIXTH PROPHECY: THE GREAT EPIDEMIC

A new virus will spread from that city, which from then on will be called “the coursed city”, to the entire country killing many Americans before the scientists are able to find the cure.

SEVENTH PROPHECY: FROM THE HEAVENS COMES…

A celestial body will fall from the sky onto the South of the US.
