(Melchizedek Communique, MC010310) The soothsayers have appeared, together with the return of Sol Invictus.

Not exactly relying on soothsayers, but rather on the "secret sources" (though some would say, "Secret sources... Soothsayers... What's the difference?"), the Globe, a weekly tabloid newspaper, has bad news for the fancy Prince Charles. "Dying Queen Makes William King!" headlines the cover for the Jan. 4, 2010 Globe. Prince William, son of "Chucky" and the late Princess Diana, will reportedly marry one Kate Middleton in a lavish ceremony on July 1, 2011. But already, Prince William is the "shadow king" of Great Britain. William will be "fast-tracked to the throne" immediately after his upcoming wedding, which will coincide with the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, reports Globe.

Long live the king! But a problem may arise if predictions being made by Biblical scholar Harold Camping manifest. Relying upon a mathematical system to interpret prophecies hidden within the Bible, "Camping, a civil engineer by trade, crunched the numbers and was stunned at what he'd found: The world will end May 21, 2011." [1] This, unfortunately, would be about 40 days before Prince William gets married and becomes king.

"And Europe is a stony land," predicts Melchizedek Communique. In 2002, Houston's Brentwood Baptist Church became the first to contain a McDonald's restaurant inside. This was the sign! To the Conspiracy Nation editor (yours truly, now the Melchizedek Communique editor), this churches and McDonalds news sounded like a clarion trumpet. He had had a vivid dream in the 1980s concerning the "return of the Moors (Muslims)" to Europe and that continent becoming "a stony land." The dream also contained a church with a McDonald's restaurant in the back. Now, as of Jan. 2, 2010, AFP reports "The eurozone's new year heralds a debt crisis that has alarm bells ringing and markets tracking government plans to tame the growing shortfall." [2]

"Turkish violence will continue to rise and the Germans will work actively to clap it down. Vigilantly anti-Islamic violence will also rise. A rise in Catholicism will be the back lash to the Islamic renewals," predict Stanislav Mishin and Mat Rodina writing for Russia's Pravda. Mishin and Rodina are especially grim in what they foresee. For the United States in 2010, "slow strangulation... Strong independence movements will become mainstream in Texas, southern California, Alaska and much of the old Confederacy. Pro independence terrorism will start to appear, along side a vast upsurge of SJS (Sudden Jihad Syndrome) amongst the Islamic members of America," reports Pravda. [3]

Cuba's Santeria priests also foresee turmoil in 2010. Predictions include "'coup d'etats,' 'sudden changes in political systems,' 'betrayal and usurpation' among top government officials, as well as falling farm and livestock production, and the 'breakup of agreements... wars and military interventions.'"
