Speaker 1: Welcome to Thrilling Threads. This is the show where we
try to make you feel fully informed, even when you
know the world is just throwing data at you faster
than anyone can possibly process.
Speaker 2: It really is an overload, isn't it?
Speaker 1: It is? And our sources today are well, they're a massive,
sprawling stack of things. We've got geopolitical forecasts, NASA solar
cycle reports, some very specific climate modeling data from twenty
twenty four and twenty twenty five, and.
Speaker 3: Of course the big one, the famously cryptic Quatrains of
nostradamis exactly and I think we need to be clear
from this start. This is the ultimate exercise in pattern recognition,
you know, right.
Speaker 2: We are not here to.
Speaker 3: Entertain the idea that a sixteenth century French apothecary was
some kind.
Speaker 2: Of time traveler.
Speaker 1: No, definitely not.
Speaker 3: Instead, our mission is to analyze his short four line warnings,
the quatrains. We're drawing heavily from book one Quatrain twenty
six specifically.
Speaker 1: And stacking them directly against the most critical, verifiable, and
converging deadlines that our modern world is facing.
Speaker 3: That's the key, the deadlines exactly.
Speaker 1: For you, Our listener. The goal here is synthesis. We
want to cut through all that noise.
Speaker 3: We want to show how what nosterdamis just called doom
might actually be the technological, the geopolitical, and the environmental
stress of the.
Speaker 2: Next two years.
Speaker 1: And if we can find these threads where an ancient
kind of vague warning really aligns with concrete military intelligence
timelines or are scientific forecasts exactly, that to us is thrilling.
Speaker 3: It is it forces us to ask a really important question.
Are we focusing on the right threats?
Speaker 1: That is the key question. So let's not get lost
in the information overload. Just let's jump straight into the
first threat. And it's maybe the most rapidly advancing one. Okay,
it seems to align almost perfectly with the chaotic language
of the quatrains. We're starting with technology.
Speaker 3: The first line we pulled is it's incredibly suggestive. Nostradamis
mentions a great swarm of bees rising up and causing chaos. Right,
not literal, no, clearly metaphoric given the sixteenth century context.
He wasn't talking about, you know, actual drone technology.
Speaker 1: Of course not. But when we look at the source
material analyzing modern conflict, how does this idea of an
overwhelming chaotic swarm, how does that fit the current trajectory
of military and commercial tech.
Speaker 3: What's so fascinating here is that the concept of a
swarm is it's the perfect antithesis to traditional military strategy,
the kind of strategy built over the last century.
Speaker 1: Which relies on what big expensive hardware Exactly.
Speaker 3: Traditional defense relies on expensive, powerful and very visible platforms, ships, planes, panks.
A swarm, on the other hand, whether it's made of
drones or decentralized AI units, it represents a total shift
to mass produce, cheap and disposable chaos.
Speaker 1: And the sources are really clear that this isn't just
a theory anymore. We're seeing the real world impact.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, it's happening right now.
Speaker 1: We've seen these drone swarms operating and well in increasingly sophisticated,
coordinated ways right all over the world.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and you have to think about the impact. What
happens when dozens or even hundreds of these tiny flying
objects just overwhelming area.
Speaker 1: It's not just military targets either, No.
Speaker 3: The source reports site civil disruptions too. Major international airports
have faced complete shutdowns, just joked, completely stopped all because
of confirmed drone swarm activity. Now I mentioned the digital
sovereign risk implications of that.
Speaker 1: So you can paralyze the movement of goods and people
in a major global hub for hours, maybe days.
Speaker 3: With simple off the shelf technology. It's a huge vulnerability.
Speaker 1: And on the military side, the scale of the challenge
is it's even more dramatic.
Speaker 3: It fundamentally changes the calculus of defense spending, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: It has to.
Speaker 3: You have military bases scrambling jets because dozens of these small,
sometimes really hard to identify flying objects show up on
radar all at the same time, and.
Speaker 1: Our traditional defenses aren't build for.
Speaker 2: That, not at all.
Speaker 3: Traditional anti aircraft defense is designed to spot say one
hundred million dollar fighter jet or a big missile or
two million dollar missile exactly. That system is completely utterly
overwhelmed by a network of five hundred dollars drums.
Speaker 1: So the strategic implication here is that the primary defense
mechanism is now just sensory overload. It's not physical interception.
Speaker 3: Precisely, it's a numbers game. You can't shoot down twenty
tiny networked objects with a multimillion dollar intercept missile.
Speaker 1: The math doesn't work.
Speaker 3: The cost asymmetry is crippling. A swarm is designed to
overwhelm traditional defense structures not by being individually powerful, but
by their sheer, distributed number, and coordination.
Speaker 1: So if a sixteenth century writer was trying to describe
an enemy that overwhelms defences and infrastructure through just chaotic, unstoppable.
Speaker 3: Numbers, a swarm is not just an analogy, it's practically
a design brief for global conflict in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: And that concept, that idea of the swarm, it moves
beyond the air too. We also have to connect this
to the ground based reality of humanoid robotics.
Speaker 3: Yes, and the rapid advances in artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1: This is where that be analogy really starts to do,
to shift from simple metal insects to something way more
complex and integrated.
Speaker 3: The transition from aerial chaos to ground autonomy is seamless
in the data we're looking.
Speaker 1: At, and we're talking about the big names here, Boston Dynamics, Tesla,
a few others.
Speaker 3: All pushing the envelope on true bipedal robotics. And for years,
let's be honest, these were kind of novelty items. You'd
see the videos of them stumbling over a rope or something.
Speaker 1: Right, they looked like prototypes. They were interesting but not practical.
Speaker 3: But now they're rapidly moving toward being fully integrated autonomous systems.
They look less like prototypes every single year.
Speaker 1: And the timeline on this is it's critical. The source
material highlights a very specific advancement point in early twenty.
Speaker 3: Twenty five, doesn't it It does. That's when Tesla's Optimist
robots were demonstrated performing basic factory tasks autonomously.
Speaker 1: And that word autonomously, that's the game changer. That's the
critical difference.
Speaker 3: That is the whole thing. It's not just a pre
program sequence anymore. It's the robot learning, it's reacting on
its own.
Speaker 1: It goes from a prototype that can walk around to
a piece of machinery demonstrating complex, goal oriented autonomy.
Speaker 3: Right on a factory floor. Now you have to extrapolate
that capability. Imagine thousands of these networked autonomous.
Speaker 1: Units, not just in factories.
Speaker 3: No deployed in cities for logistics, for surveillance, or potentially
for defense.
Speaker 1: And they're capable of self organization, coordinated action without direct
moment to moment human control. So When you combine the
proliferation of these cheap aerial drone swarms designed for sensory
overload with the accelerating capability of ground based humanoid robots
designed for complex autonomous action, the quatrain prediction of a
great swarm rising up and causing chaos takes on an
undeniably chilling, very much modern relevance.
Speaker 3: It really does, and this convergence it raises a profound
question for us, for you, the listeners. The chaos we
face might not be a foreign army.
Speaker 1: It could be something we've built.
Speaker 3: It might be the complex, decentralized product of our own
rapidly accelerating technological ambition just hitting critical mass.
Speaker 1: And who governs a distributed swarm?
Speaker 3: How do you negotiate with self optimizing code? These are
the high stakes questions the sources are grappling with as
we head into that twenty twenty six window.
Speaker 1: And that technological fragility, that potential for self generated chaos.
It's only amplified when we consider the next major prediction.
Speaker 2: Which takes us away from human tech.
Speaker 1: And shifts the chaos back to the raw, overwhelming power
of nature itself.
Speaker 3: So we move from the swarm to the prediction about
the environment, the sky burning it forty five degree.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I have to ask you, looking at the
forty five degree latitude line and then pointing to heat domes,
isn't that a classic example of confirmation bias?
Speaker 3: Fair challenge, It's a necessary challenge.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's record heat happening everywhere, so why zero
in on this specific line?
Speaker 3: You have to address the bias, of course. However, the
sources note that the alignment is well, it's statistically striking
for those specifically seeking out these patterns.
Speaker 1: So there's something specific about that latitude.
Speaker 3: The forty five degree latitude line cuts right through specific
regions that have become you could say, ground zero for
unprecedented climate stress in just the last few years.
Speaker 1: Okay, So give us the specific locations that make this
pattern stand out.
Speaker 3: We're talking about the US specific Northwest, so regions like
Portland and Seattle, which are not historically built to withstand
sustained triple digit heat.
Speaker 1: No, their infrastructure isn't ready.
Speaker 3: For it, not at all. Then you have major agricultural
and population centers in parts of China and crucially southern Europe,
particularly Italy and the Balkans, and what.
Speaker 1: We've seen in twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four, and
twenty twenty five, and those exact regions are record breaking
multi week heat waves.
Speaker 3: Often defined by persistent heat domes. Exactly, so the sky
burning can be interpreted as the direct outcome of these
intense sustained climate phenomena.
Speaker 1: I think so heat domes trap massive amounts of heat
over these ratios for prolonged periods. It makes life dangerous,
It destabilizes agriculture, and it pushes infrastructure to its absolute limits.
Speaker 3: When you have sustain temperatures over what one hundred and
fifteen degrees fahrenheit, and forests are just spontaneously combusting. The
atmosphere itself for the people on the ground becomes a
deadly furnace. The sheer scale of the heat migration and
the stress in these physical latitudes, that's what lends credence
to the alignment, even if technically it is anecdotal.
Speaker 1: But there's another interpretation, and this one takes us completely
out of the terrestrial atmosphere and into space, the.
Speaker 2: Thread of solar storms.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is where we can really integrate the hard,
verifiable science from NASA.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, the Sun operates on an approximately eleven year cycle right,
and scientific conformation shows that the Sun entered its period
of peak activity. They call it solar cycle twenty five,
right around twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: And this isn't debatable, This isn't a prediction.
Speaker 3: No, this is a certainty. It's based on decades of
direct solar observation.
Speaker 1: So why does the twenty twenty five peak activity matter
so much for our infrastructure down here on Earth?
Speaker 3: Because that peak activity dramatically increases the frequency and the
intensity of coronal mass ejections CMEs. These are the massive
solar flares, massive solar flares that shoot magnetized plasma right
toward Earth. And if one of those strikes is directly,
the major threat isn't the light or the heat, it's
the geomagnetic scorm it creates.
Speaker 1: And that's where our technical vulnerability lies, isn't it This
concept of geomagnetically induced currents, or GICs.
Speaker 3: Precisely, GICs are the killer. When the Earth's magnetic field
interacts with all those charged particles from the Sun, it
creates powerful electrical surges in conductive materials.
Speaker 1: On the ground, like our power lines, like.
Speaker 3: Pipelines, rail lines, and most critically are massive high voltage
power grids. These currents target the aging custom built long
haul transformers in our electrical substations.
Speaker 1: And why are those transformers such a specific point of failure.
I've heard this before.
Speaker 3: They're just they're massive, incredibly complex pieces of machinery that
are not easily replaceable.
Speaker 1: You can't just order a new one on Amazon, No,
not at all.
Speaker 3: A strong gic surge can magnetically saturate the core of
a transformer, which causes it to overheat and literally melt down.
Speaker 1: And the problem is twofold them.
Speaker 3: It is one the cascading grid failure affects massive areas
almost instantly two Replacing just one of these large bespoke
transformers often takes eighteen months or more because they're custom
manufactured eighteen months.
Speaker 1: So a massive solar blast the sky burning it doesn't
just knock out the grid for a few hours. No,
it could potentially take major sections of it offline for
months in years.
Speaker 3: Right when we are dealing with extreme predicted climate events
on the ground.
Speaker 1: That is the synthesis of the threat.
Speaker 3: It is if you lose power and communication globally, which
are essential for food, transport, water pumping, air conditions everything.
During a sustained record breaking heat wave, the crisis instantly multiplies.
So the prediction of the sky burning aligns with the
fragility of our interconnected digital society facing a known centuries
old natural celestial phenomena. It's an unavoidable deadline.
Speaker 1: The convergence is, it's really striking. We've built a world
that's so dependent on this invisible infrastructure that its complete
failure can be triggered by a light show from ninety
three million miles away. This incredible vulnerability, though, doesn't stop
humanity from focusing on its own earthly squabbles.
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't, which.
Speaker 1: Leads us right into the next section, the geopolitics of
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Let's shift the focus back to human conflict. Then.
Speaker 1: The quadtrain predicts two major powers drifting toward a massive
clash and nations pulled into the chaos whether they want
it or not.
Speaker 3: And you know, given the current global tensions, this is
perhaps the easiest prediction to map onto reality.
Speaker 1: It is, but I think the value is in the detail,
and especially the timeline provided by our modern sources.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 3: The primary tension point obviously remains the strategic competition between
the US and China.
Speaker 1: And this isn't just military, oh No, it's.
Speaker 3: Competition across everything, trade, technology standards, supply chain, resilience, presence
in regions like the South China Sea. And you can't
forget the rising influence of India, right, which is fundamentally
changing the balance of power and adding another huge variable
to the agent theater.
Speaker 1: So when these giants jockey for position, the smaller nations
are inevitably forced to make some pretty painful choices, aren't they.
Speaker 3: That's where the pulled into the chaos part really comes in.
Flash Points like Taiwan, the Korean Peninsula, and especially the
South China Sea become these focal points.
Speaker 1: Every move demands a reaction.
Speaker 3: Every diplomatic, economic, or military action by a major power
demands a reaction for the neighboring states. The whole idea
of true neutrality is just it's rapidly disappearing.
Speaker 1: And what gives this ancient prediction in its modern teeth
is the alignment with verifiable, long term military intelligence.
Speaker 3: This is the concrete detail that you the listener really
need to remember. NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, they've
been very transparent in their strategic.
Speaker 1: Assessments, they've actually given a timeline.
Speaker 3: They have openly stated that the window of highest concern,
the peries where potential global conflict due to all these
converging pressures is most acute, is twenty twenty six to
twenty thirty two.
Speaker 1: That twenty twenty six start date, it aligns incredibly closely
with the general focus of these quatrains.
Speaker 2: It's a striking match.
Speaker 1: So what are the specific indicators that NATO and other
intelligence agencies are looking at to define that high risk window.
It can't just be troop numbers.
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
Speaker 3: It's a whole portfolio of escalating factors, indicators of geopolitical entropy.
You could say, okay, Firstly, we see rising military spending
across the board, not just in traditional areas but in
hypersonic weapons development and specialized cyber commands.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: Secondly, there's the constant escalation of cyber attacks that target
critical civilian infrastructure, which, as we just discussed with the
solar flares, is increasingly fragile. And Thirdly, it's the weaponization
of economic tools, things like sanctions and export controls on
advanced semiconductors. This is conflict happening below the threshold of
declared war, but it is preparing the groundwork for massive
systemic clashes.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about the prediction regarding a specific political geography.
The line about a powerful northern figure losing influence. For years,
this was abstract, but the sources are increasingly tying it
to instability in Russia, and.
Speaker 3: The current analysis of Russia's situation really backs that up.
We're looking at instability fueled by a convergence of internal
and external factors.
Speaker 1: It goes beyond just simple military losses, which are obviously significant.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: Analysts are focused on the socioeconomic indicators, a massive sustained
brain drain of skilled labor and tech professionals, the crippling
effect of sanctions leakage, and the government's heavy reliance on
liquidating its sovereign wealth funds just to sustain ongoing conflicts
and maintain some economic stability.
Speaker 1: So the fall that Nostrodamus describes is not necessarily a sudden,
dramatic death of a single person, but a major change
in power or a severe, potentially chaotic internal fragmentation exactly.
Speaker 3: Political scientists globally are pointing to the next eighteen to
twenty four months as an extremely unpredictable, high risk window
for Russia.
Speaker 1: The loss of influence could mean a rapid regime shift.
Speaker 3: Or internal civil conflict, or a fragmentation of centralized control.
And if you synthesize that prediction of a major geopolitical
clash with a powerful northern entity losing.
Speaker 1: Stability the current reality of a destabilized Russia right next
to major existing conflicts, it seems to fit the pattern
almost too well.
Speaker 3: And that instability becomes this massive high pressure vacuum that
just pulls neighboring powers in.
Speaker 1: Which brings us to the biggest picture, the prediction of
two massive forces clashing with smaller nations scrambling to protect themselves.
This just clearly describes the alignment of global alliances.
Speaker 3: This is the definitive breakdown of globalization as we knew.
Speaker 2: It for the last thirty years.
Speaker 1: It's over.
Speaker 3: We are seeing the westso NATO G seven traditional allies
and the East defined by China, Russia and the expanding
Bricks Group pulling away from each other on every possible level,
every level, trade, financial standards, technology, military cooperation.
Speaker 2: It's a great.
Speaker 1: Decoupling and the expansion of Bricks has been a critical
recent development in that fundamentally altering the calculus of the clash.
Speaker 3: It has the recent expansion of Bricks, which now includes
key nations like Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE. It's not
just about adding members, it's about strategically gaining control over
global oil trade.
Speaker 1: Mechanisms and challenging the dollar.
Speaker 3: And challenging the dominance of the US dollar in the
international finances. All the discussions around deed allarization and setting
up alternative financial infrastructure make this clash tangible. It's a
direct financial confrontation, not just a military one.
Speaker 1: And what's the ultimate result for the rest of the world.
Speaker 3: The deaths of neutrality simple as that, that's the critical detail.
The source is just hammer home again and again in
this increasingly bipolar world. Nations that successfully maintain neutrality for
decades are now being forced to pick sides.
Speaker 1: Or at least heavily hedge their bets.
Speaker 3: Their economic and strategic bets absolutely. The Clash of Giants
describes the solidification of global economic and military structures where
smaller nations are actively scrambling for protection and prosperity within
one of these increasingly defined.
Speaker 1: Blocks, and we have to emphasize again this modern warfare
manifests as trade wars, fights over rare minerals that are
essential for our technology.
Speaker 3: And those constant cyber attacks.
Speaker 1: Right, the prophecy may not describe marching armies, but the
constant grinding pressure of systemic competition which leads us inevitably
to the planetary stress points that human conflict only makes worse.
Speaker 3: Let's transition to those environmental warnings then, specifically the line
about a very great famine through pestiferous wave for generations.
Speaker 1: This was a fear that had kind of faded in
developed nations thanks to modern agriculture. But the confidence in
global food production has well, it's plummeted recently, it has, and.
Speaker 3: The sources identify a really dangerous cocktail of reasons for
this drop in confidence. Nostrodamis describes famine. Modern analysis highlights
the extreme vulnerability of our highly globalized, just in time
food systems.
Speaker 1: Which are facing all these shocks at.
Speaker 3: Once, simultaneous shocks from climate, economics and conflict.
Speaker 1: So let's start with the climate disruptions. It's not just
the sustained heat, is it. It's the volatility.
Speaker 3: Exactly it's the unpredictability. We're seeing weather patterns that defy
historical norms.
Speaker 1: And that means what for farmers.
Speaker 3: It means severe simultaneous cropl losses all over the globe.
Prolonged droughts in the US and Africa, Unexpected intense flooding
that wipes out entire harvests in Asia, unprecedented temperature swings
in Europe.
Speaker 1: Farmers can't plan, they can't and when.
Speaker 3: A crop fails in one major region, the market instantly
corrects globally and prices spike for everyone.
Speaker 1: And beyond the climate, the economic and conflict factors are
creating this systemic food insecurity.
Speaker 3: The economics are absolutely critical here. Rising global for leiser costs,
which are often tied to energy prices, and geopolitical disruption
make crop production exponentially more expensive and less profitable, which
leads to reduced planting in some areas. And critically, global conflicts,
particularly the disruption of the Black Sea Corridor due to
the conflict in Ukraine and instability in the Middle East,
have severely constrained the global shipment of grain and key
agricultural commodities.
Speaker 1: The Black Sea is a vital artery for food.
Speaker 3: It is when it constricts, the whole world feels that
supply pressure.
Speaker 1: So what's the immediate risk based on the convergence of
all these factors.
Speaker 3: The World Food Program the WFP, they issued a very
serious alarm call. They stated that twenty twenty five and
twenty twenty six could be extremely difficult years for food
access in vulnerable regions.
Speaker 1: And the primary concern is what a perfect storm.
Speaker 3: The potential for simultaneous multi region hardest failures leading to
cascading economic crises and price spikes worldwide. The scale of
simultaneous shortages if multiple harvest seasons fail back to back.
Speaker 1: That aligns perfectly with the description of a very great famine.
Speaker 2: The system is stressed to its breaking point.
Speaker 1: Okay, now let's look at the second part of that,
the pestiferous wave. Nostro Damis wrote about the sea turning bad,
fish dyeing, and sickness spreading along the coast.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: This was once the ultimate metaphor, but now it aligns
almost too closely with verifiable ocean issues.
Speaker 3: The shift from a spiritual metaphor to a physical reality
is maybe the most striking alignment of this entire dive.
Speaker 1: The sea turning bad describes a phenomenon driven by what
what are the core scientific.
Speaker 3: Processes here it goes beyond simple warming.
Speaker 2: There are too.
Speaker 3: First, we have ocean acidification. As the atmosphere absorbs more
CO two, the ocean absorbs it too. That lowers the
pH makes the water more acidic, and this severely impacts
the ability of shelled creatures. Corals, oysters plankin to build
their shells, and.
Speaker 1: They're the foundation of the marine food chain they are.
Speaker 3: Second, we have ocean stratification. This is where layers of
warmer water sit on top of colder layers, which prevents
nutrient mixing and leads.
Speaker 1: To hypoxia low oxygen dead zones.
Speaker 3: Exactly, low oxygen dead zones.
Speaker 1: This sounds far more severe than just warm water. This
sounds like the system itself is breaking down.
Speaker 3: It is systemic decay and the result is the pestiferous
wave we see today, toxic algae blooms that are more
frequent and more severe, killing massive amounts in regions like
the Gulf of Mexico, the Mediterranean, South America.
Speaker 1: And the source material. Notice specific example of those mass
fish die offs didn't.
Speaker 3: It It did in specific South American coastal regions coinciding
with the highest ocean temperatures ever recorded.
Speaker 1: And then you have the controversy surrounding contamination like Japan's
water release from Fukushima, that adds to this perception of
a turning bad sea.
Speaker 3: It does the perception of global contamination, regardless of the
scientific rigor. It exacerbates the anxiety that's described in the quadtrain, but.
Speaker 1: The overarching systemic threat, it's.
Speaker 3: The genuine existential worry among scientists that underwater ecosystems are
just dying out due to the combination of warming, acidification,
and low oxygen.
Speaker 1: And here is the punchline on this topic, and it
brings us right back to those deadlines. There's a specific
urgent timeline attached to ocean recovery.
Speaker 3: Yes, key research groups have concluded that the next two
to three years are absolutely crucial a decision point. They
represent a decision point. We either see stabilization in the
rate of decline, which would allow some parts the ocean
to potentially bounce back, or we continue to sustained decline
into these cycles of contamination and irreversible dead zones. The
clock is ticking on the very ecosystems that regulate our
climate and provide a major portion of our global protein supply.
Speaker 1: So it's all converging. Twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six.
You have the solar peak, you have the military anxiety
deadline beginning, and the environmental tipping point for the world's oceans,
all arriving at once.
Speaker 2: It's a lot.
Speaker 1: Let's move to the physical instability of the planet itself.
Nostro damis frequently mentioned earthquakes, and while quakes are a
constant threat, seismologists are issuing some specific warnings that are
being linked back to these predictions.
Speaker 3: And they're focusing heavily on the next few years.
Speaker 1: Where do we start.
Speaker 2: We have to start with.
Speaker 3: The elephant in the room for North America, the Cascadia
Subduction Zone. Okay, explain that this is a highly active
fault line off the Pacific Northwest coast. It stretches from
northern California all the way up into British Columbia. The
real concern, learn is that it has been seismically quiet
for hundreds of.
Speaker 1: Years, which means it's overdue.
Speaker 3: It makes it statistically overdue for a major.
Speaker 1: Event, and we are not talking about a simple magnitude
five here we are talking about a megathrust earthquake.
Speaker 3: Precisely, a megathrust quake is the most powerful type of
earthquake possible. It's capable of generating a magnitude of nine
point zero or even higher.
Speaker 1: And the specific threat here isn't just the shaking, is it.
It's the secondary effect.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, the massive tsunami risk that would inundate coastal cities
within minutes, and the risk of liquefaction.
Speaker 1: Where the ground basically turns to liquid.
Speaker 3: Exactly where unstable water saturated ground, which is common in
those coastal areas, loses its strength, causing buildings in infrastructure
to just sink or collapse. The vulnerability of the Pacific
Northwest infrastructure is a major concern sighted in the sources.
Speaker 1: And we've had some very recent devastating global reminders that
preparation and active zones is well, it's never fully sufficient.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, the tur Key earthquake in twenty twenty three, the
sustained aftershock cycles in Japan, a nation that is famously
engineered for seismic resilience, they demonstrate that when the earth
really moves, the scale of human tragedy is immense.
Speaker 1: They serve as real time warnings.
Speaker 3: That preparations must be constantly reviewed and often ramped up.
Speaker 1: Yes, and scientists are particularly focused on sustained tectonic pressure
across one massive geographical future.
Speaker 3: Right now, the focus is definitely on the Ring of Fire,
this huge horseshoe shaped chain of volcanoes and fault lines
that rings the entire Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 1: So Japan, Indonesia.
Speaker 3: Japan, Indonesia, across to Alaska and all the way down
the coast of Chile. Researchers are concerned because the interconnected
fault lines in this region are under sustained.
Speaker 1: Pressure, which increases the odds.
Speaker 3: It makes the statistical odds of major, large scale quakes
higher than usual for the next few years. It's not
a localized threat, it's a Pacific wide anxiety.
Speaker 1: And we're also seeing an increase in smaller quakes in
weird places.
Speaker 3: We are a documented rise in smaller quakes happening in
normally stable intraplate regions like parts of Europe and the
central US. It suggests a generalized increase in tectonic stress globally.
Speaker 1: Okay, that covers the instability of the Earth's crust. But
now we have to address the prediction that sounds genuinely
like science fiction.
Speaker 2: This is the weird one.
Speaker 1: From the depths. A ruler will rise, empires will fall,
and new waves will rain the Aquatic Empire from the
realm of the ocean. I mean we are truly in
Akomann territory.
Speaker 3: Now we have to acknowledge that this sounds purely metaphorical.
It just does right.
Speaker 1: It could symbolize the rise of a new maritime economic power,
like a new China or India, or a.
Speaker 3: Deep sea resource rush something like that. However, when Nostrodamis
uses such explicit language rising from the ocean Aquatic Empire,
the modern literal interpretation being applied is frankly the most
bizarre and compelling one.
Speaker 1: And that modern literal interpretation connects the dots to recent
military reports concerning UAPs.
Speaker 3: Exactly unidentified aerial phenomena or UAPs that exhibit what is
known as trans medium capabilities.
Speaker 1: Meaning they can operate in different environments.
Speaker 3: There have been reports cited in the source material of
these objects emerging from or entering into the water, moving
seamlessly between air and water without any visible means of.
Speaker 1: Propulsion or the hydrodynamic disturbance we would expect no splash none.
Speaker 3: They become USO's unidentified submerged objects.
Speaker 1: The sources site a very specific famous military incident here
which really puts this prediction into a strange context.
Speaker 3: That would be the twenty nineteen uss Omaha sighting, which
was captured on Navy instrumentations.
Speaker 1: What did they see?
Speaker 3: Personnel recorded a spherical object coming out of the water
near San Diego, hovering for a moment, and then disappearing
at incredible speed. Incidents like these where technologically advanced objects
interact with our oceans.
Speaker 2: They're rare, but they.
Speaker 3: Are becoming increasingly documented in declassified military reports and testimonies.
Speaker 1: So the interpretation is that Nostrodamus, in his sixteenth century lexicon,
may have been trying to describe the emergence of an unknown,
powerful disruptive force.
Speaker 3: Whether technological or were truly extraterrestrial.
Speaker 1: That seems to originate from the depths of the sea.
Speaker 3: The language is perfect for that description, Ruler will rise
aquatic empire. It aligns with the idea of a powerful
disruptive force originating from the realm of the ocean, precisely
at a time when our own surface based empires are.
Speaker 1: Clashing, and our oceanic ecosystems are collapsing.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 3: It introduces a massive unknown variable into an already volatile
geopolitical and environmental equation. The greatest unknown threats, whether their natural, technological,
or something else entirely are arising from the very environments
we are neglecting.
Speaker 1: We've truly pulled some thrilling threads today. We started with
the exponential rise of autonomous AI swarms, move.
Speaker 3: Through the critical solar peak predicted for twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Five charted the geopolitical military deadline stretching from twenty twenty
six to twenty thirty two.
Speaker 3: Now identify that two three year environmental tipping point for
global ocean health.
Speaker 1: If we bring all the synthesis together, the analysts studying
these patterns, they agree on one thing that.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six are not typical years.
They are crucial transitional years where multiple unrelated global stress
factors are all converging at once.
Speaker 1: And it all comes back to this one macro theme,
doesn't it. The unbearable planetary pressure that Nostrodamus described as
unbearable heat and people fleeing areas that used to be
safe and livable.
Speaker 3: That is the ultimate current reality check.
Speaker 1: We cited the recent summers, the hottest ever recorded, where
cities were forced to implement emergency cooling protocols just so
people could survive the day.
Speaker 3: The sheer scale of the fires in Greece, in Canada,
in Spain, and the unprecedented temperatures in the US Southwest.
It all signals a long term fundamental crisis.
Speaker 1: And this crisis is now forcing cities to discuss official
heat migration plans.
Speaker 3: Because they're current infrastructure, the power grids, the water systems,
the road modes are simply not built to cope with
these sustained extreme conditions.
Speaker 1: It fundamentally changes where people can live, where they can farm,
and how they can sustain themselves.
Speaker 3: So the power of these ancient warnings isn't really about
their prophetic accuracy. It's about their ability to match up
so closely with our contemporary data points and these looming deadlines.
Speaker 1: They encourage critical thinking about where we should prioritize our
attention exactly.
Speaker 3: We are so often distracted by immediate daily chaos, but
the sources show the most existential deadlines, solar flares, geopolitical fractures,
environmental collapse are all converging right now.
Speaker 1: That is the core takeaway for me. We've seen how
deeply interconnected these warnings are. From the rise of AI
swarms and the instability of great powers to the seismic
threat of the Cascadia fault and the vulnerability of our
power grids to celestial energy.
Speaker 2: It's all connected.
Speaker 1: So we turn this question over to you, the listener.
We've stacked the sixteenth century poet against twenty first century science.
Of all the modern reyes we've discussed today, the unstoppable
acceleration of autonomous systems, the breakdown of global alliances into
these definitive blocks, or the looming seismic megathrust threat. Which
modern reality do you believe is most accurately reflected in
these ancient warnings.
Speaker 3: What single step do you think the global community should
prioritize based on these looming, converging deadlines.
Speaker 1: Ponder that question, and we encourage you to engage with
the discussion.
Speaker 3: We'll catch you next time on thrilling Threads.
