                        PREDICTIONS 2004

First, before ‘looking’ at the future, let’s go back to 2003 for a moment. A choice from last year’s right predictions:

 

A) Summer? Beautiful! Hot! Heatwave! (there hasn’t been so much sun in 500 years. Research by scientists with help of reports recorded by monks).

B) Holland will be struck by serious power failures. C) Iraq. Eventually everything will result in a state of war  (When Bush Jr. became president I consequently labeled him as ‘President of War’). D) A government will be formed that stands right from the middle. E) Heinsbroek will give up. ‘Antenatal’ politicians with egos too big will lopped off. F) The Rotterdam house of Pim Fortuyn will in future be used as starting point for peace processions. Perhaps being set up as an anti-violence museum?! G) United  Europe has taken in a currency that will eventually devaluate more (with some exaggeration) than the Indonesian rupia. De (N)EURO is kept artificially HIGH . The consumer will foot the bill. Fanciful highly priced products in the stores. Everybody’s housekeeping money will become even more tighter. H) All-out efforts in sports, world-records improved by the Dutch will in 2003 be in the field of water (swimming). I) A developing pregnancy and family expansion Maxima en Alexander.

 

SOCIALLY

Let’s focus now on the events still hidden in 2004.  Are those cheerful ones? The first image to loom before my mind’s eye, is een widely spread poverty. More and more families who cannot pay their bills any more! Yes, and even don’t have money to buy food. Municipal taxes will rise to an extreme! Especially in the larger cities money-problems will get very delicate. Small self-employed shopkeepers will enter upon difficult times, an existence far below the absolute minimum.  Voices are heard demanding to institute soup-kitchens in order to offer citizens in need a decent meal for a very fair price. The 'hidden poverty' will strike on a massive scale and remain hidden less and less. Even if some-one lives behind a stately front, he will be hard up. Smarting and painful developments, socially speaking. Gradually the middle class is disappearing; rich will become richer and poor poorer. A pattern like that belongs in a third-world country; a development to view with concern. More and more Holland will show the structure of a comparable developing country. The difference between rich and poor will grow further apart. Rented houses will come in demand. House-owners will try to sell on a massive scale, a result of not being able to pay the mortgage anymore. Because of the enormous supply of houses for sale, the selling prices will drop drastically.  In 2004 these not too encouraging developments in real estate will be clearly noticeable.  The number of vacant office buildings will soar dramatically. It is under consideration to refurbish office buildings into houses for rent.

 

HOLLAND POLITICALLY

The Balkenende administration will not live to see the end of 2004. The SP party will  give this administration a serious warning, Marijnissen will use what it takes. And in so doing he will put a timebomb under this administration, figuratively speaking. Within 24 hours the show is over and the administration gone. Balkenende can go back to his study, dusted in the meantime. New elections to gain the parties  PvdA en SP an unheard of amount of votes. Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg (the former Benelux), will put their heads together on the level of politics, so as to exercise some influence in the United Europe (otherwise Holland will slide down to a provincial status within  Europe, a place where only cows graze). The foundation of a European constitution? Is our beautiful Holland to be sold to the highest bidder and  bartered away by our politicians? Citizens beware! United Europe will in time give just as much satisfaction as the (N)EURO!)

 

A substantial waste of money will come to light in the central government of United Europe. Fictious administration costs are being presented. Office buildings standing totally empty, while on paper there is being worked hard and costs (staffing included) are being made. It turns out that ‘ghost- officials’ are being employed, however no people of flesh and blood. Many painful cases of complete waste of money come to light in United Europe, fraud, while many european subjects can hardly put any food on the table due to lack of money. People losing their jobs on a massive scale, unemployment, citizens with ‘eroded’ (N)euros in their  pockets.

 

Hopefully not only care and distress in 2004?  Certainly not! We try to remain positive between the lines.

 

ROYAL FAMILY

Eventually the family of prince Willem-Alexander and princess Maxima will consist of 4 individuals. Fortunately Maxima sees her father frequently, whom she adores. He will come and live in a house quite near her. This will mean a big mental support for her. Maxima has an extremely good influence on the Dutch royal family, standing close to the people is what she wants.  Eventually she will be seen more and more in public, while certain influences within the royal family prohibit this at the moment.  Also thanks to  Maxima the State Information Service will undergo a ‘face-lift’. More openness will enter into the royal circles. A bitter necessity, by the way. Intuitively Maxima senses this, openness is the only way for the royal family to survive the future.  Even if you have blue blood, to be human among humans is the only method of survival for the royal families of the future! It is rumoured that the child of  Maxima and Alexander will be born somewhere in January 2004. My ‘sense’ tells me that this is very well possible in December. Media beware, picture papers especially, don’t miss the scoop! During the holidays the presses are standing still as you know, but perhaps plan an extra edition just in case? The State Information Service sometimes issues rather confusing information. Not too long ago Prince Claus went to play soccer with the press people, while the Information Servce knew that at that moment Beatrix was in labour...

An Information Service-tactic like that is not being appreciated these days by citizens and media of this day and age. We’re living in the era of referenda, don’t we, we all want to say our piece. The people insist on being informed adequately and they have a right to. In the end it is the taxpayer’s money that holds the whole system together.

 

SPORTS

The Dutch national soccer team in the lift. A dream of coming in through the back door if need be, and hailed as champions at the front door. In 2004? Don’t give up hope. Our boys will become champions once, in the near future. In sports as well the economic recession will be noticed. Big sponsors withdrawing. Because of this an important tennis tournament is being cancelled. Soccerfans try to keep their clubs sane, also in the financial sense, by putting together large campaigns. People often talk about misbehaving fans, but now in these saving-campaigns they’re showing their best. There is even talk about solidarity on a massive scale.

 

WAR/PEACE

An increasing threat concerning a nuclear bomb in North Korea. Japanese mobilisation. A disaster prohibited.  Eventually a change of power will occur in North Korea. In 2004 Saddam Hussein will be plucked from out of the desert. Imminent danger of a civil war in Iraq. The U.S. have won the war, but eventually the civilians lost.  The U.S  will change their course significantly; suddenly also other countries get to say something about rebuilding Iraq. A silent retreat by the U.S. is likely. There will be attacks on a large scale on U.S. militaries, even at a garrison-town in the U.S. itself.  The morale of the troops will drop to zero, with Bush only having 30% in the polls.

Iran will pose big problems in world-politics.  Bonds of friendship with a number of  European countries will ensure that the free world doesn’t see eye to eye about decisions and approach concerning Iran. In view of world-peace, the developments in Iran are not auspicious, also because Israël threatens to interfere. Prime Minister Blair has made his position untenable and is likely to be carried off through the back-door.  More comes to light concerning the 'Irak-truth', showing that it was known in advance that the most dangerous mass-destruction weapons had been demolished before.

Powell will retire from office and accept a position in trade and industry; his income involving an astronomical amount. Bush will suffer from a delicate health. The  resilience seems to be gone by now. Frequently someone else will act as his spokesperson. Neurological problems? Medical reports shrouded in mystery? Should the president’s health start to fail, let’s hope that it will turn out as well as possible… Outwardly he always kept a firm attitude, but on the inside the Iraqi war gnawed more at his nervous system than is being admitted in public. Later on it will become known that the USA attack on Iraq possibly brought the world on the brink of a world-war? Secrets reports flashing past electronic highways; only too well that the public didn’t know a thing about it. Was the world almost on fire? Future disclosing of secret papers will reveal so.

 

ECONOMY

Economically speaking, Holland and the world will meet the hardest year in 2004 since World War II. Thanks to computer technology there will be no Krach like in 1929. Further devaluation of shares will be a process of graduality.

Companies closing down on a massive scale, multinationals retreating to their main offices, leaving Holland and shutting down brance-offices. Hoogovens will meet rough times in Holland; thousands of people losing their jobs in the steel industry. Small and medium sized companies; bankruptcy in abundance. Furthermore the field of electronics will suffer badly. PC’s coming on the market for almost nothing. Over-production of new cars. Car-factories will have to arrange for large industrial lots to be able to park the unsold new cars. Desperately searching for new areas of distribution. Cars are being sold below cost price to former Russian states.

 

INVENTIONS

A small device will be put on the market that can warn a consumer if he or she spends too much money in relation to the monthly income. Resourceful producers begin to sell very cheap electronic devices that can be used easily in every day life. What of a small monitor watch; electronic eyes spying for any trouble in the streets. Also recording the images. Well to use in criminal cities. In the future you will ‘have eyes in the back of your head’. Another detecting device will warn you through vibrations if someone close to you carries a weapon. This might come in handy in the train for instance, and find yourself another compartment.

 

ANIMALS

In 2004 new laws will be instigated towards a life worthy of animals. The embargo on keeping calves in crates will be extended to other forms of intensive cattle-breeding.  One chicken standing on a few inches of wire-netting; ‘poultry-warehouses’ will in the near future be a thing of the past. The same goes for the pig-farms with hundreds of pigs squeezed in spaces far too small. Not because of a sudden animal-friendly attitude of people. But developments in bacteriology and virology do not stand still. Virologists will sound the alarm because new epidemics threaten to arise from sickness that spreads from pigs to people. SARS-variations lie in wait where the present medical science has no answers for.

Modern legislation wants to give animal liberators equal status with terrorists, but perhaps it might be a good idea to listen to their ‘know how' for a change. Once variations of swine fever and signs of influenza start to mutate in the human body we’re too late.  Look at the sheer ineradical hospital bacteria…….. Look to the past. Mutating  viruses and bacterias have destroyed animals and humans, more destructive than the worst nuclear bomb. As far as this concerns we’re living on a bacterial time-bomb. And we enter the era of viral and atypical mutating bacteriology. Future viruses and bacterias, little monsters able to mutate with the speed of light, will force us to end the intensive cattle-breeding.  Doomwatch? The future will show us. Now we can still take action. The future is at heart a fictious concept. The present mutations in virology and bacteriology already involve later danger.

 

CRIME

Also in the year 2004 crime does not sit still. Modern developments are in store for us. With very smart thinking more and more use will be made of helicopters in criminal activities. Criminals will become a match for the flying law-enforcing elite with their motto of faster than the speed of light, quick and bright. Police and law-enforcement outsmarted. We won’t go into details here. Many will talk in 2004 about the biggest  robbery ever and look upon it as an incredible piece of work. A lot of people even have respect for so much resourcefulness without so much as a scratch for the people involved. Crime is never to be justified ofcourse. It still remains a crime. Hopefully law-enforcement in 2004 will impose less traffic-fines, mind innocent civilians a little less and certain organisations a little more. Holland Den of thieves Inc. doesn’t seem such a charming label for our polderland in the future.

 

ANYTHING CHEERFUL TO REPORT?

Yes! Fortunately there is. The tendency towards spirituality, esoteric and paranormal aspects will in 2004 and after experience a stormy break-through. Large groups of people will more and more wonder about the meaning of life.  A goal in life and the meaning of it no longer spoon-fed by vicar or priest. No, everyone will turn to look at the inside. Through the use of cards or I-Tjing receive answers to your questions. America has led us the way in this respect. Spirituality for the individual is now an established part of life there. In countless cities you will find streets filled with shops with books, CD’s, esoteric cards, crystals, piramids, palmreaders and psychics... There are so many places where to put your questions concerning reincarnation, guardian angels……Holland will not stay behind.

More and more it comes home to us that we ourselves are responsible for our earthly lives and the choices to be made. The love and warmth we can share with our fellow human beings.  Because of the economy other values in life will be pointed out to us. 

The spirit, the soul, your most inner being... The advantage being, it’s free and you carry it with you at all times….. We’re entering the era of mental, spiritual, esoteric and personal development. We can learn and respect immensely much from each other .  Understand one another in words or on a telepathic level. At heart we’re one big family, flowing into one another like the waves of the ocean...

And when speaking about different faiths? At the core of each faith you will find: LOVE.

 

Let’s hope that only the positive predictions will come true. And if not, perhaps we’ll be able to correct certain issues so that initially negative predictions turn into positive ones.  Being single individual human beings, all we can do is do our best on our own little spot under the sun.

 

Wishing you all kinds of spiritual and positive forces for the year 2004.

 

Peace and happiness.....
