Assassination of the current pope
(Century VIII, Quatrain 46)
Pope Benedict XVI
During the period that the Antichrist begins to flex his power, the current pope will be assassinated when he goes on a trip away from the Vatican. The two cardinals nearest to the pope will realize the danger to their church after the death, and they will close themselves up in the Vatican to try to protect themselves.
The current Pope is desirous of world peace and is working against some established power parties within the Roman church. A point will come when the special interests inside the church who want to hold onto their power and wealth will misadvise the Pope in such a way as to place him in a dangerous situation which he is unaware of. The assassination will lead to social unrest and rioting in Rome. The next pope will not last long. There will be only two other popes after the present one.
(Century II, Quatrain 97)
The pope and several of his entourage will be assassinated in late spring when the roses bloom, at a European city that is at the junction of two major rivers.
(Century II, Quatrain 15)
The present pope will be assassinated shortly prior to the appearance of a comet that will be clearly visible from the sky of the Northern Hemisphere. His concern for the human condition, leading him to treacherous travel arrangements, wil be his downfall. The next pope will be assassinated by the Antichrist because he won't submit to his demands. The assassination allows the Antichrist to install his "tool" into the office
Crazed leader launches nuclear bombs on Mediterranean and Europe
(Century II, Quatrains 3 and 4)
During a period of continuing unrest, the leader of a Middle Eastern country will be able to obtain a nuclear weapon. He will go to the greatest lengths over the smallest things and will not hesitate to use the weapon because of his obsessions with deadly warfare. The people he is warring against retaliate with a nuclear weapon. The country has a coast on the Mediterranean.
One of the bombs will land in the Mediterranean instead of the land, poisoning all the fish. The passages of trade in the region will be disrupted so that the people on the other coast will be desperate for food and will eat the fish anyway. It will happen near the east coast of the Mediterranean in a region of dark-colored cliffs.
Looking for the real treath
Lets just think realistically. We will forget all the prophecies and pretend that Nostradamus never existed. There were no prophets in the past. We will forget all the threats from skies as well. 11. planet X called Nibiru is unknown and not even one asteroid is coming to destroy this civilization. No comets, no earthquakes, no pole shifting, tsunamis and so on. Just imagine, there is no danger. Even, if everything will be working fine, I can tell you, end of the world or at least of this "civilization" is very, very near.
Are we living in civilized world?
No, I'm not correct. The world civilization is from civilized. But people are not civilized!!! Or do you think, that developing more and more sophisticated weapons and using them against people with no or weak defense? Why don't we help in Africa, where people really need help? Is this really the sign of intelligence? Are we truly civilized? I don't think so... I believe, there is a lot of you out there having same opinion, but do you think, that things in are going to change? Each of us is a part, tiny part of this huge mechanism. This mechanism called "civilization" cannot run without us and we rely on it as well. We are so close attached to it. We couldn't survive without it. Its all based on the business and money.
Who makes profit from war?
The question is who runs it, who control this crazy world? Think about it. It could be politics, but i think there are still small fishes. Did you ever see somebody powerful without money? The more money - the more power. If we will apply this rule, we will find the "people" who ruled us all for centuries. I worked for a while with shares. I was told, there are two types of shares. One of them are gaining in time of war and another in time of peace. I was shocked. The teacher explained me totally calm: "When you will have full storage of old weapons, you have to make room for the newest models. And how to get the customers? Think about it. The scheme is always the same. And will lead to another conflict - world war 3.
The Money beast will like WW III
Before World War 2 it was still kind of fun, but the Money Beast didn't stop even after Hiroshima and Nagasaki where 240 000 people died in few seconds after Nuclear explosions. The total armament race began all over the world after this blood bath. It was called Cold War. It's just the question of time before global arsenal will be used to wipe out this "civilization" out of the earth. If countries like Iran or North Korea will hold this powerful devices, the world won't be safe place to live.
The end of the world is near says science - Doomsday clock
Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clockface maintained since 1947. It uses the analogy of the human race being at a time that is minutes to midnight where midnight represents catastrophic destruction. The analogy originally represented the threat of global nuclear war (world war 3), but has since evolved to include nuclear weapons, climate-changing technologies and new developments in the life sciences and nanotechnology that could inflict irrevocable harm.
The clock is currently set to five minutes to midnight, having been advanced by two minutes on January 17, 2007. See the jump in 1998? 5 minutes forward. I am afraid the clocks will be in 2012 on 12:00.

Diet diehards eat less to live longer
Inspired by animal experiments showing that underfeeding enhances vitality and prolongs life by 30 percent or more, the US-based Calorie Restriction Society is slashing calorie intake in a bid to beat back the clock and halt the ageing process.
Some people are doing it strictly to enhance longevity, while others do so to avoid age-related disease, or because they already have diabetes, high cholesterol or clogged arteries and want to clean up their bodies by using diet.
"Even if they were to reduce their calorie intake by half, they would still only be at baseline," the optimal balance between energy input and output according to the study.
A wealth of scientific evidence has confirmed that maintaining that balance helps prevent type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
But experiments with both animals and humans have also shown that pushing one's calorie intake 10 to 20 percent below that baseline threshold -- without lowering nutrients -- may provide additional health advantages.
Luigi Fontana, a professor in the Division of Geriatrics and Nutritional Science of Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, has led or co-authored more than a dozen studies on reduced calorie intake in humans.
He is also one of a handful of researchers studying longterm impacts by monitoring a group of nearly 50 adults who have been on calorie restriction diets for at least a decade.
"Most are middle-aged, but they have the cardiovascular profile of a teenager," he said by phone.
Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and insulin levels are all low while so-called "good" cholesterol remains high, he said. Diabetes and cancer rates are down too.
Studies published earlier this year point to other, specifically age-related, benefits as well.
One shows that cutting calorie intake 20 percent cut damage in DNA and RNA caused by oxidation in half compared to control groups.
Oxidative damage to DNA, proteins and other cellular building blocks accumulate over time and are thought to be a major driver of ageing.
A second study by Fontana, published in July in Aeging Cell, shows that a combination of calorie reduction and limiting protein intake lowers levels of insulin-like growth factor, commonly known as IFG-1.
IFG-1 is a high-risk marker for prostate, breast and colon cancer, and plays a key role in regulating cell growth linked to the ageing process.
Consuming less calories does not necessarily mean eating less food, he said. While he only takes in two meals a day, he tucks away large quantities of fruits and vegetables, along with smaller portions of lean meats and fish.
Refined, processed foods high in sugar, fat or salt -- junk food, in other words -- is off the menu.
The average calorie intake for men is about 1,800, and for women between 1,200 and 1,600, depending on height.
Tests with monkeys underway for two decades give no indication that life in primates can be extended by the 30 or 40 percent seen in rats and mice.
"Will this add 10 years to your life? Nobody knows," said Leeuwenburgh, adding that reducing calories late in life could make it difficult to maintain needed muscle mass.
"But one thing is sure -- calorie restriction will help you reach your maximum lifespan potential, which is different for all of us depending on our genetic profile," he said.

Sold 20 lots of my china sky holdings on last Friday....sold in the morning then went to sleep and woke up in the evening showing a beautiful result of dropping down. Sold for 24c and end the day at 21.5c, so I thought so clever lor. Then Monday the market starts to move upwards again. By end of Mon, China Sky was up to 29C then on Tuesday...shot up to 36c. Chee bye...regret selling on Friday lor.
Didn't really follow my "chiam see"....a drunken man without legs. What was advice was that better just stay "put" in whatever thing I do until after this month lor. Shit....lor.
The market is again acting up....by dropping starting with the US market then followed by the rest. The same old cycle games....hahaha.

Obama's safety a challenge
WASHINGTON - MR BARACK Obama made history by becoming the first African-American US president-elect, but security agents now face major challenges in protecting him, experts say, as his race may make him more of a target than his predecessors.
The 47-year-old Illinois senator who swept to victory on Tuesday has been under protection of the US Secret Service since May 2007, 18 months before the election, the earliest-ever security detail for a presidential candidate.
It is an issue few people want to address directly, but as the nation's first black commander-in-chief Obama will likely face an unprecedented number of threats on his life - including one just last week when two white supremacists, Daniel Cowart, 20, and Paul Schlesselman, 18, were arrested in Tennessee for plotting to kill Mr Obama.
Yet the president-elect's skin colour has only added to concerns in the country, where there are more than 200 million legally owned firearms and about 30,000 gun deaths per year, and where four sitting presidents have been murdered and two more wounded in assassination attempts.
'It's going to be a unique and challenging environment' for Mr Obama's security detail, Mr Fred Burton, who is vice president of counter-terrorism at geo-political intelligence analysis firm Stratfor, told wires agencies.
'The protective security threat and the challenges surrounding the protection for him is extremely difficult. It's going to take a lot of resources and a tremendous amount of protective and tactical analysis to stay ahead of the bad guys,' said Mr Burton, a former Secret Service agent who is publishing a Stratfor report on Thursday on the issue.
While Mr Obama spends the next months plotting his political course and assembling an administration team, extremists - particularly from the US white hate movements - may be plotting to kill him, especially in the chaotic months before he enters the Washington security bubble.
Mr Burton believes protective intelligence agencies have infiltrated white hate groups, whose sympathisers are blamed for the assassinations of civil rights leaders Mr Martin Luther King Jr, Malcom X and Mr Medgar Evers, as a means of thwarting attempts on the lives of protectees.
Mr Evers was gunned down in 1963 by a member of the Ku Klux Klan, a white-supremacy group whose website this week carried a video clip warning against an Obama administration.
'I don't want to sound like a doomsday prophet,' Mr Thomas Robb said on the Klan's WhitePride.tv. 'But what will happen to this nation?'
'A lot of people are concerned if Mr Barack Obama becomes president of the United States. There may be a backlash, there may be many white people throughout this country who will become awakened.'
In January, concerns were such that Congressman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi wrote to officials who oversee the Secret Service to say Mr Obama's profile 'gives rise to unique challenges that merit special concern.'
'As an African-American who was witness to some of this nation's most shameful days during the civil rights movement, I know personally that the hatred of some of our fellow citizens can lead to heinous acts of violence,' Mr Thompson wrote.
Mr Obama spoke early this year with The New York Times about his life in the security cocoon, saying 'I've got the best protection in the world,' repeating a line he tells concerned supporters.
'So stop worrying.'
For Ms Alnett Wooten, an 86-year-old black woman waiting in line at a Washington polling station on Tuesday, Mr Obama's fate is in God's hands.
'I never thought I would live long enough to do it,' she said of voting for a black president.
'I just pray that He will keep him safe.' -- AFP

Thoughts that can heal you or kill you.
Good thoughts, bad thoughts. A person goes through about 66,000 thoughts a day, both negative and positive, says mind science consultant Professor Dr R.Kadeer Ibraheem.
"We go through many thoughts in a day, but whether they have a positive or negative impact is up to us." Negative thoughts of anger and hatred are so powerful that they can destroy our health, mood and happiness.
"Hatred, anger, grudges and judgment destroy friendships, business dealings, opportunities and several other aspects of our lives," says Kadeer.
Thought can also be used for good and we can do almost anything, says Kadeer, but only if we first believe in our selves.
"We must eliminate our fears, step by step. We must do everything in stages and not rush it. After we develop this ability to believe in ourselves, we will enjoy the results." The power of the mind should never be underestimated, because it's the one facet of a human being which can tease, trick, convince and destroy.
Its powers have long been used to create wealth, kick habits and lose weight .
Over the past few years, the mind has taken on a new role: It's been a key player in the body's healing process.
Silva Method Malaysia managing director Steven Soh Teck Toh is convinced that whatever goes into your mind will come to pass. Whatever you put into your mind and believe is going to happen will happen.
"This works for good and bad thoughts. So be careful with what you feed your brain. That's why it's so important to only have positive thoughts, especially when fighting a disease. Every time a negative thought gets into your mind, you should consciously tell yourself, "can - cel, cancel". Soh has seen the power of believing work in people who have had various medical issues, from warts to a low sperm count.
"An accountant and his wife were desperately trying to have a baby, but the doctor told the husband that his sperm count was low, and that it was almost impossible.
"He asked the doctor for a sperm map and looked at it every night, picturing and believing that his sperm count would increase. His sperm count did go up and, a year later, he was the proud father of a baby boy." Soh says it's also important to clean your "mind archives" every day to make room for positive thoughts.
"Any concerns or worries you have should be addressed daily. Don't keep them in. Recognise them, deal with them and get rid of them.
"Keeping them all in will clog your 'mind pipe' and prevent you from feeding yourself positive thoughts." According to Soh, the onset of cancer is usually after a traumatic encounter.
"Most cancer patients would have had traumatic experiences, six to 18 months before the onset. The first thing cancer patients should do is trace the experiences they've had in the past two years.
"When they have identified the cause, they should accept the situation.
"It could be a financial problem, or a death in the family." Unfortunately, many terminally ill patients don't want to be cured, Soh says. "They say they do, but deep in their hearts they don't mean it. Many don't have the will to live, and that attitude is enough to kill them.
"If you're dying and want to be cured, you'll break all other appointments and do what it takes to be healed. When your mind doesn't want to get better, your body releases enzymes that make that thought a reality." Soh says that the more you reject the reality of things, the more you attract it. "Cancer is not deadly if you take precautions in the beginning.
"People should understand that the mind is the first tool they should use to overcome cancer." Clinical psychologist Leong Huey Mei says: "When you adopt a positive attitude you find that everything is possible. Having positive thoughts mean giving yourself a choice.
"Too often, we hear those sick or in trouble say they have no choice.
When they say that, it becomes something that cannot be resolved.
"A positive attitude gives you energy to move on. Those who waste their energy on negative thoughts are killing that energy.
"But, if they think positive, although the situation seems impossible, they'll find a solution. It's all mind over matter." Leong says illnesses and bad situations befall anyone. "Things don't always go the way we want. But if we keep complaining and living in the 'whys', we are digging a deeper grave.
"We have to learn to adapt to the new situation and find ways to remedy the problem or we won't be healthy. Adjust to the environment.
"Deal with the issue instead of exploding.
Don't let it accumulate.
Don't dwell. Let other people help if you can't deal with it. Talk to positive people and surround yourself with positive thoughts." Being aware of your negative thoughts, she says, is a very important part of recovery.
"Each time a negative thought crosses your mind, you must challenge it. If you keep telling yourself it's useless and you can't do it, then that is what will materialise.
"Even if you think there's only a 20 per cent chance of getting through this tough time, work on it. Stop focusing on the other 80 per cent.
"That's wasted energy." First, she says, one must be able to identify the negative thoughts in order to change them.
"Recognise those thoughts and then push them out of your mind, each and every time. Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones is another way of doing it." She says some people claim that positive thinking is just a way of cheating yourself. "Maybe it is. But, if it's helping the situation and making you feel better, why not?" As the words of the poet John Milton go, "the mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of hell, and a hell of heaven".

4D, shares and toto.
Will limit down these to managable level since time is bad....planning to sell flat and maybe rent a place for awhile before buying again. Yes! have done the valuation this morning. Will be looking forwards to the report soon.
Universal Laws - Law of Karma (law of consequences)
What is Karma??
The word karma refers to one of the basic teachings of theosophy by which it is able to explain the meaning of human life and to resolve its enigmas and seeming injustices. It is a Sanskrit term expressing tersely the principle of action and reaction, or the law of consequences.
The karma is activities accumulated from past lives, there are positive, neutral and negative karma. And positive karma does not eliminate negative karma, but might delay the germination of effects of bad Karma.
Karma is those good or bad actions, which follow a human being through life and determines what kind of existence the person will end up in, in his next life. The law about karma says that all actions have consequences; bad actions have negative consequences, while god actions have positive consequences.
"Bad karma" is when your past bad deeds and actions have caused an imbalance of cosmic energy in your life, and now bad things are happening to you
To understand karma, it must first be clearly perceived that the cosmos, the universe, is a unit -- one single organism composed of an infinite number of lesser organisms in an immense variety of grades of consciousness and development, all united into a single whole by the one consciousness which includes and is common to them all. This sublime idea is well illustrated by man himself, who is a universe, a cosmos, in miniature. Is he not composed of an almost infinite number of centers of life or consciousness -- atoms, molecules, cells, organs, ganglia, etc. -- under the unifying overlordship of the human individual consciousness, which pervades and unifies and directs them all? And just as a felon on the finger is felt by the whole body, so we are taught that a thought of hatred or a throb of mental anguish has its due effect throughout the greater cosmic organism. For the law of action and reaction, of cause and effect, so evident in the limited sphere of mere physical life, is simply an evidence on the surface of what takes place in the inner spiritual and causal realms.
How to CLEAN KARMA
1. Change your ACTIONS
2. Be thankful
Karmic situations are not just negative ones. While people can often be heard complaining when something bad happens to them, it's rare to hear someone say "wow, karma!" if something great happens. The next time you're faced with what seems like good luck - say you're that rare person who never has trouble finding a parking space, try a little gratitude - it goes a long way.
3. Check your intentions
Even if someone is able to clear your karma, you will continue to have free will. Thoughts impact action and karma. The only way to undertake a karmic cleansing is with purity of intention and a real readiness to let go and move on.
4. The secret
Sometimes karma is a self-fulfilling prophecy. You know, "I'll never find my soulmate," or "I can't do that." As much as these thoughts may be motivated by something beyond your understanding (low self-esteem, habit, past life actions), with or without a karmic assessment and cleansing, a certain amount of responsibility lies with you. Only you control your thoughts. And only you control your actions
5. Clean UP
Opinions may vary when it comes to actual karma cleansing. Some spiritualists and psychics have the ability to read and clear individual karma (past life and from this plane). If you want to know what your actual karma is, this is the way to go. But first take a closer look.

Sow an act, and you will reap a habit. Sow a habit, and you will reap a destiny, because habits build character. This is the sequence: an act, a habit, a character, and a destiny. You are the creator of yourself. What you make yourself to be now, you will be in the future. What you are now, is precisely what you have made yourself to be in the past.
What you sow, you shall reap. -- G. de Purucker, Golden Precepts of Esotericism, p. 104
The word karma refers to one of the basic teachings of theosophy by which it is able to explain the meaning of human life and to resolve its enigmas and seeming injustices. It is a Sanskrit term expressing tersely the principle of action and reaction, or the law of consequences.
The karma is activities accumulated from past lives, there are positive, neutral and negative karma. And positive karma does not eliminate negative karma, but might delay the germination of effects of bad Karma.
Karma is those good or bad actions, which follow a human being through life and determines what kind of existence the person will end up in, in his next life. The law about karma says that all actions have consequences; bad actions have negative consequences, while god actions have positive consequences.
"Bad karma" is when your past bad deeds and actions have caused an imbalance of cosmic energy in your life, and now bad things are happening to you
To understand karma, it must first be clearly perceived that the cosmos, the universe, is a unit -- one single organism composed of an infinite number of lesser organisms in an immense variety of grades of consciousness and development, all united into a single whole by the one consciousness which includes and is common to them all. This sublime idea is well illustrated by man himself, who is a universe, a cosmos, in miniature. Is he not composed of an almost infinite number of centers of life or consciousness -- atoms, molecules, cells, organs, ganglia, etc. -- under the unifying overlordship of the human individual consciousness, which pervades and unifies and directs them all? And just as a felon on the finger is felt by the whole body, so we are taught that a thought of hatred or a throb of mental anguish has its due effect throughout the greater cosmic organism. For the law of action and reaction, of cause and effect, so evident in the limited sphere of mere physical life, is simply an evidence on the surface of what takes place in the inner spiritual and causal realms.

Recession is coming !!! Sorry....it is already here!
Recession has already came ... make your own judgment, don't panic !! Do what is wise and grid your teeth to ride this out. Remember you are not alone becoz all around us...the very people near and far shall also faced this pain. So at the end
of the day...it is to see who suffer less or whether who can come out of this stronger and ready to take your family to the next level.
The recession is not just looking very eminent but have already on "us". It is about time for us to take pro active steps to avoid a painful time in the next two years which is how long the recession is expected to last.
Suggestions:
1. Don't take any loans, buy homes, properties with loans, or even cash. Keep as much cash as possible.
2. Pay off as much of personal loans, private loans, as debt collection will be hastened.
3. Sell any stocks you can even at lower prices.
4. Take money off from any Trust and investment Funds.
5. Don't believe in huge sales forecast from customers, be extremely prudent, lowest inventories, reduce liabilities.
6. Don't invest in new capital.
7. If you are selling homes/ properties/ cars , do it now since you might still get good prices for it esp if HDB, they are going to fall and when it does.....it will drop so fast until you faint ( just like the recent stock market meltdown ). If need to rent...then do it as even the rent will drop as reported in today's ST.
8. Don't invest in new business proposals.
9. Cancel holiday plans using credit cards and to do so if have some spare cash for it.
10. Don't simply change jobs, as companies will retrench based on "last in, first out" policy which is common since they don't have to pay much benefits to those affected.
Stay cool, wait, and if you took all of the above actions and more, you probably will be better off than so many others and will recover faster than most.
This is not a rumor. Bear Sterns is the first of many banking and financial institutions that will start falling in the not too future. If Bear Sterns can fall, so can JP Morgan, Citibank, HSBC, and the whole world. ( remember Lehman Bros and the nearly collapsed AIG? they are the early birds which started the recent meltdown for stocks all over the world )
US economy falls, the rest will crumble. India and all those self economies will be the most protected, but not gullible. Europe may be a little stronger, but not China , another giant! Malaysia and Singapore will see significant impact as both countries depend alot on what is happening in US.
