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.....
Kind regards,
