The following prediction was made by Ruth Lee in the late 1970s! No one then could believe that America would one day go its separate way and not heed what other nations wanted to do, but not many would doubt that now.  See what you think...

~~~~~

         Early in the 21 century, the United States will become politically and
financially isolated from the rest of the world. The entire Western Hemisphere will
follow us into this isolation, as though an imaginary line had been drawn down the
middle of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. We will have no real need to trade
with the rest of the world since South and Central America will provide
adequate raw materials and markets for North America's finished goods.

       This isolation will be a well thought-out approach to the retaliatory measures adopted by members of the European Economic Community and due to the struggle between China and Japan to control Asia and eventually all the world beyond the Western Hemisphere.

        All Americans, both North and South, will speak two languages— English and Spanish! The US will be the dominant power with Canada, Mexico, Argentina,
and the Dominican Republic, the secondary powers.

        Our decision to dominate a segment of the global economy, rather
than continue to compete for a shrinking share of the entire World market,
will result in greater prosperity for all of the Americas—flattening our standard of
living in the USA, while raising the living standards of all the other countries in the Western Hemisphere.   This reduction in contrast—between developing
countries and fully-developed Super Power—will result in a more stable economy
for all and a return to the ideals that prompted the original settlement, growth, and success of the United States.

       The US will have the opportunity to develop territory, make and market
necessary products once again, and our satellites’ citizens will have greater
opportunities to go into service professions such as medicine, law, and
engineering.

        True to the nature of isolationists, we’ll concern ourselves very little with
the political upheavals elsewhere—and there will be many! Germany will
dominate Western Europe and make it prosper once again! However, the Russian
dynasty will crack under the pressure and never recover its former strength. It
will be absorbed by the German Alliance on its Western Front and by China on its
Eastern Front.  Japan will eventually lose out to China, but not before
controlling Australia and most of the Pacific Island nations.  Africa exists under a huge dark cloud today.   Nothing can be seen by me at this time.

The news arrived today that Kerry will win!

        It was the quickest and easiest delivery ever!  No dramatic entrance, just the simple announcement that Kerry will win.  I found this very strange.

      Why?  Because four years ago I dreamed of George W. Bush being elected President under very extenuating circumstances and was told that it would not be known immediately.  We interpretted it a lot of different ways, but it made total sense in the end.

     After that I had several dreams about Bush II. We were always very friendly--chummy is what i would call it.  I had a dream that brother Jeb Bush would be reelected Governor of Florida and was disappointed in it, but it was absolutely true. 

       So what happened this election?  Just a definite statement that left nothing to be questioned.  Could it be that Kerry will win by a landslide?  Maybe that is why there is no hedging and interpretations required.

     So, friends, take it to the bank.  Kerry will be elected President of the United States.

November, 2004

Well, friends, did you lose on that bet?  I was surprised and it was the closest election and the first time we all relied on machines that could be tampered with when it came to recounts---and there were not many of them.  A conspiracy?  No, but think about it...Kerry did win!  Imagine all the problems HE would have now with a full Republican Congress and problems that are not be worked out even with a Republican President??  Sometimes we win when we lose...but i find this the most suprising prediction i have ever received so far!

The Douglas-Jones marriage is in danger!   Catherine Zedda-Jones is infatuated with a man much younger than her husband, Michael Douglas, but much older than she. 

    Who is the other man and is he interested in her?   He is not interested in her now, but might become so if she moves forward more.    Who is he?  George Clooney 

Many past Bush supporters will say he changed too much trying to be 'all things to all people.' It will cost him a lot.  So far, no one running against him is working hard enough to beat him. Hillary Clinton could beat George W. Bush, and he knows it....and his allies are fighting her already as if she was running against him.

For more about what happened after this dream...

February 1, 2004

       Conservative, Cal Thomas, headlined his syndicated column: "Bush Veering
Off The Conservative Path."

       He quoted Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind, who is a self-described 'Christian-conservative-Republican, in that order' and is the essence of the Bush base while addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, said that the "ship of conservative governance has gone off course."
        Pence's indictment included this line: "...many who call themselves conservatives see government increasingly as the solution to every social ill and--let us be clear on this point--this is a historic departure from the limited-government traditions of our party and millions of its most arden supporters."

       Pence also pointed to the Department of Education as one of many examples of government gone wild: "A decade ago, when I first ran for Congress, Republicans dreamed of eliminating the federal Department of Education and returning control of our schools to parents, communities and states.  Ten years later (we get) the 'No Child Left Behind Act'...our Reaganite beliefs that education was a local function were labeled 'far right' by Republicans and ThePresident signed the bill into law with Ted Kennedy at his side." 

       An executive of the Heritage Foundation e-mailed the writer: "As a mom who is trying to teach my children about conservative values, the vision of our Founding Fathers, and have faith in God--not the government--what is our answer?  How do I explain that federal spending increased more under George Bush than it did under Bill Clinton? How do I tell them how important it is that we work to get Bush elected and then explain that they will be (saddled) for the rest of their lives paying for huge government programs, such as Medicare reform, that he championed?" www.calthomas.com

George Bush (the father) is not going to be happy with what happens to his son soon. He will say it was not meant to be read that way. He is going to say that he never said such a thing. He will not want to be repeated when it is read, and he will turn away from the crowd at that time.

Confirmation:  (Received week of July 20, 2003) 

Read, watch TV, listen, and follow the President's denials about the purchase of Uranium by Iraq and how it impacted the decision made by the US to go into war against Iraq. He refuses to accept responsibility for having included that in his State of the Union address.  His advisors, including his father, say it is not his fault and he should not be blamed, etc., etc....

"Troops will return and war will escalate, but not where they battled before."

Update: January 2004 - Deaths of American soldiers have risen to 500 and there is no movement to end the war in Iraq at this time.  The war is being fought in every town and all over the country now, but not as much as it was in Afganistan.

    Last night I had a dream in which I looked briefly at the side of a skyscraper as news flashed to the world, in that old-fashioned way of light bulbs flickering on and off like a teletype. The message was written backwards as if an Arabic translation (?) that Saddam Hussein was shot.

Update:   (July 24, 2003)   News flashed around the world today that Saddam Hussein’s sons are dead---shot, rather than Saddam (the father).

    Based on my dream of today, President George W. Bush is going to ignore the economy more than before. He is not interested in it.

Confirmation:

NOTE: When this prediction was made the President was receiving very high approval ratings for his handling of the economy. 

July 25, 2003 - News Services everywhere reported:  "A recent Gallup Poll found half of Americans disapprove of the President's handling of the economy, and nearly 6 our ot 10 think he hasn't paid enough attention to it."

JUDAS EFFIGIES SET AFLAME IN MEXICAN TRADITION
Knight Ridder News Service, Distributed Easter Sunday, April 20, 2003
San Cristobal De Las Casas, Mexico.
    ...This year, Bush topped other local, national and international figures as Mexico's favorite bad guy in celebrations here and in other towns throughout Mexico. His likeness was hanged and stuffed with pyrotechnics, rockets, sparklers and other fireworks that blew him to smithereens, filling the sky with fire and ashes.
  In this colonial city in the highlands of Chiapas state in sourthern Mexico, staunchly Catholic and mostly Mayan, the huge images of Bush, crafted by artisans, ranged from the comical to the monstrous and grotesqu...
    A trendy effigy depicted Bush as a giant, four-legged bug--eyes demoniacally ablaze--crunching a baby's leg and arm. "The monster of war has no heart in his soul," read the devilish dummy. Another portrayal the president atop an oil rig, holding a bleeding white dove in one hand and a machine gun on the other, "Bush: Savage, Genocidal, Invader and Demented," read a sign.
    Another image had the president (Bush), Saddam, bin Laden and former Mexican President Carlos Salinas with horns, dubbed characters from Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables." Before they burned, a toy plane crashed and blasted them to bits.
"One by one, they have created a world of death and destruction," read the desription of the four rogues.
