Greatest Flooding in US History Dwarfs all Previous Ones, Many States will be Inundated for Decades, and Some Permanently
This map looks something like a dream I had back in 2007 about what the ultimate appearance of the USA would look like after the flood: not too much left! Essentially two land masses, one west and one east, separated by a huge sea of water. In my dream I was stationed in Florida in some technical capacity (that would be doubtful now) and there was more water inundating the state at the southern border due to heavy rains and some dropping off of the coast. This map may not reflect some additional slip dropping of coastlines on either side.
Zombie Plague Appears in Florida
and Louisiana
With fire and armaments, not far from the Black Sea, he will come from Iran to occupy Trabzon [NE Turkey]:
Pharos [Egypt] and Mytilene [Greece] tremble, the Sun is joyful, Arabian blood covers the Adriatic Sea.
Because of heat like the sun above the waves, at the Black Sea the fish half-cooked:
The inhabitants will come to eat them, when at Rhodes and Genoa they will lack biscuits.
Thus, Quatrains 5.27 and 2.3 are among those that mark the final stages of the 13-year old war.
The Black Sea attack and conquest of Trabzon of Quatrain 5.27 aligns perfectly with The Black Sea Raid by the Ottoman Empire of October 1914 during the First World War. It was conducted to pull Russia into the war. As a consequence, with some tooth pulling by the Allies, Russia entered the war in November 1914, launching a Black Sea Raid of its own on the Turkish port city of Zonguldak.
In this Nostradamus quatrain we have Persia (Iran) launching an attack on Turkey on the Black Sea "with fire and weapons" rather than Russia. "Not far from the Black Sea" suggests the invasion is launched from Azerbaijan, Armenia, or Georgia. Whether or not it will take 18 months to capture Trabzon as it took Russia (April 1916) is uncertain. I read the quatrain as though the raid, conquest and occupation all occur rather quickly. Still, it could take 18 months.
The dating of this quatrain is consistent with the nearing the end of the Turko-Iranian conflict and thus approaching the great time of trouble to come by 2038 when World War III reaches a head. If so, it would best be dated as October-November 2033 for the inital attack. The conquest of Trabzon might take a little longer and not occur until 18 months later. In a long war between Iran and Turkey, it could take until April 2035 before Turkey is conquered and occupied.
But there will still be a year or two of fighting to go after securing Trabzon. Iran's destination is Macedonia.... and that mean plowing through the entire nation of Turkey from east to west.
By this time it is difficult to determine if Egypt and Greece are still enemies of Turkey or if they are now former enemies and at war with Iran. We can only guess at this time why that would happen. But because Macedonia is to later be invaded by Iran, clearly Greece has become its adversary in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Saudi Arabia, allied to the West ("the Sun"), is already an enemy of Iran. Apparently, Iran will have attracted allies in some Balkan countries since Arab blood will be spilled in the Adriatic Sea.
The Fragmentation of the Russian
Federation and China
The war between Russia and China will be in its eighth or ninth year. Despite the fragmenting, the rump of China, which will still be called China, will continue in its war against Russia West. China may also extend the war to include the former Chinese provinces and some of the former East Russian provinces.
The United States will be a part of a Northern League or Arctic Circle Federation that will include Russia, then Russia West, as well as Canada, Scandinavia, Finland, Poland, and some other countries. The US and these other Northern countries will be allied with Russia in its war with China, but it might be some years before the US role is nearly as large as Russia's in the war. The union should be formed in 2027 or 2028, but US involvement as an active war ally might not come until after 2030. Still, it is possible that US boots may land on Chinese territory in 2028.
With World's Attention on Gaza, ISIS Is Making a Global Comeback
With much of international attention gripped by the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) has been steadily ramping up operations across continents and setting the stage for a resurgence of global mayhem. This latest threat came to life on Friday with ISIS claiming responsibility for a massacre targeting a concert held at Crocus City Hall outside of Moscow. It marked the deadliest militant attack on Russian soil since the 2002 theater hostage crisis in the capital. Just one day before the attack, U.S. Central Command chief General Michael Kurilla told lawmakers in Congress that "ISIS-Khorasan retains the capability and the will to attack U.S. and Western interests abroad in as little as six months with little to no warning." ISIS has never been shy about its international ambitions, but its Khorasan branch has been particularly vocal in conveying preparations to expand its campaign. In an article of this month's edition of ISIS-K's Voice of Khurasan magazine, the group said that the "territory of Islam is never limited to Afghanistan, but it is much wider." "The land of Islam is the one that the Muslims gained with their sacrifices, which covers the Africa, starts from Eastern Turkestan, to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan," the author wrote. "It extends to Chechnya and Dagestan, and from Turkey to as far as Andalus and the Middle Eastern countries, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and so much more...."
What is ISIS-K, the group that allegedly carried out the Moscow concert hall attack?
A branch of the Islamic State group (IS), which once controlled vast swathes of Iraq and Syria, has claimed responsibility for the deadly terror attack at a Moscow concert hall which took place on Friday. At least 133 people were killed and over 145 injured when as many as five gunmen, armed with automatic weapons, entered the Crocus City Hall and opened fire on concertgoers, who were there to see the popular Soviet-era rock band Picnic. Hours after the attack, the Islamic State Khorasan Province, known as ISKP or ISIS-K, the Afghan affiliate of ISIS, claimed responsibility for the attack through the group’s Amaq news agency. Khorasan is the historical name for the region between central and West Asia, including Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and parts of northeastern Iran. ISIS-K emerged in eastern Afghanistan in 2015 during the Taliban insurgency against the US-led coalition and the emergence of ISIS in its “caliphate” form in Iraq and Syria. The group formed from defectors of the Taliban, dissident Salafi-Jihadists suppressed during Taliban rule, and militants from Pakistan and Uzbekistan. It launched attacks not only on US forces and their allies in Afghanistan but also the Taliban and saw anyone who opposed its particular Salafi-jihadist worldview as a legitimate target.
What Does a Recent ISIS-K Terror Attack Mean for Turkey?
On January 28, 2024, masked assailants attacked a Roman Catholic church in Istanbul, killing one person. Shortly afterward, the Islamic State, through its official Amaq News Agency, claimed responsibility. Turkish police detained 47 people, most Central Asian nationals. The incident shed light on the growing presence in Turkey of a Central Asian offshoot of the Islamic State group known as ISIS-K for Khorasan, once a large portion of the Persian Empire now divided among Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asian states. The Jan. 28 assault was the group’s first successful attack in Turkey since Jan. 1, 2017, when jihadists invaded an Istanbul nightclub, killing 39 people and wounding nearly 80.
The Islamic State’s South Asian Branches are Spearheading an Anti-China Campaign
China’s domestic policy in Xinjiang and its expanding international influence — particularly its growing footprint in the Muslim world — has drawn the ire of the Islamic State (IS) since its official formation in 2014. The hub of the Islamic State’s anti-China propaganda production was initially located in Iraq and Syria, but with the fall of Baghuz and the elimination of the physical caliphate in 2019, the South Asian branches, namely IS Khurasan (ISKP), IS Hind (ISHP), and IS Pakistan (ISPP), later took the reins. They began increasing the frequency of publication of such print, audio, and video content on Telegram, Rocket.Chat, Matrix.org, and archival websites, including IS’s I’lam Foundation, and developing existing and new narratives with greater nuance and historiography. The regional ecosystem and web of pro-IS media elements has markedly increased its focus on Beijing, in line with branch-designated propaganda entities, while intensifying threats toward and criticism of China.
Iran terror blast highlights success – and growing risk – of ISIS-K regional strategy
Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in 2021, the terror group Islamic State Khorasan Province, or ISIS-K, has sought to internationalize its operational and recruitment campaign. Utilizing a sweeping propaganda campaign to appeal to audiences across South and Central Asia, the group has tried to position itself as the dominant regional challenger to what it perceives to be repressive regimes. On Jan. 3, 2024, ISIS-K demonstrated just how far it had progressed toward these goals. In a brutal demonstration of its capability to align actions with extreme rhetoric, ISIS-K claimed responsibility for a bomb attack in Kerman, Iran, which resulted in the deaths of over 100 people. The blast, which was reportedly carried out by two Tajik ISIS-K members, occurred during a memorial service for Qassem Soleimani, a Lieutenant General in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2020.
