‘New Nostradamus’ Predicts World War III Already Here

An Indian astrologer dubbed the “New Nostradamus,” who uses Vedic astrology for planetary and star alignments for predicting the future, says World War III could be days away. Recent events seem to echo his forecast.

Astrologer Predicts the Start of World War III

In May, Indian astrologer Kushal Kumar, who has been dubbed the “New Nostradamus,” revealed what he claims will be the start date of World War III.

Kumar uses Vedic astrology to develop the star and planetary alignment charts in developing his forecast of the future.

Speaking to The Daily Star in May, Kumar told the outlet he believed there was a high probability of World War III beginning on June 18.

According to his astrological charts, the Indian astrologer said that the date of June 18, 2024, had “the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger WWIII.” He added that “June 10 and 29 may have a say as well.”

As the Date Approaches, Astrologer Doubles Down on Prediction

In an update given just this week, Kumar doubled down on his prediction.

“It may be observed here that predictive alert for better care and appropriate strategy involves careful and serious interpretation of planetary impacts while unintended human error or slip cannot be ruled out entirely,” Kumar said in his update. “So, watch the developing war scenario in hotspots across the globe as days pass by.”

Kumar went on to cite the escalation of tensions between Israel and Lebanon. The astrologer also pointed to terror attacks in Pakistan, as well as North Korean soldiers crossing the demarcation line into South Korea as signals that his prophecy is accurate.

Recent Events Could Signal the Outbreak of War

The predictions by the “New Nostradamus” Kushal Kumar when several provocative events are happening worldwide that could propel nations into war.

Let’s examine a few areas of concern:

Tensions Between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon Increase

Fighting has escalated on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon, particularly in the last ten days. Hezbollah launched swarms of drone attacks that have created large wildfires in Israel’s northern region, forcing further evacuations. 53,000 Israelis have been evacuated since October. 

Threat of a Wider War

If tensions escalate, Israel could be facing a war on two fronts. Hezbollah is viewed as Iran’s partner and possesses 150,000 rockets. This could expand the conflict, and draw the United States and other Western countries into the conflict.

Russian Military Exercises in Cuba, US Deploys Ships, Sub, and Planes

A flotilla of Russian warships, including a nuclear submarine, arrived off the coast of Cuba from military exercises this week and were perilously close to the Florida coast. US officials said the Russian ships posed no threat. Nonetheless, the Pentagon deployed three Navy destroyers and a maritime patrol aircraft to keep tabs on the Russian vessels that reportedly came within 30 miles of the Sunshine State. The US also deployed a nuclear-powered submarine that arrived in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, on Friday, June 14.

Putin Reminds the West of His Nukes

These actions follow after Vladimir Putin stated he’s been “pushed to the point of no return” by the West and toward World War III.

“Calls to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, which possesses the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons demonstrate the extreme recklessness of Western politicians,” Mr. Putin said. “They either do not understand the scale of the threat they are creating – or are simply obsessed with their own sense of impunity and exceptionalism.”

On Thursday, June 13, at a Group of Seven summit in Fasano, Italy, US President Joe Biden and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a 10-year security agreement with America pledging its military support for the next decade.

US Arrests 8 Tajik Nationals with ISIS Connections

Officials arrested eight Tajik nationals this week who entered the US through its southern border and requested asylum under immigration law. It was unclear whether the individuals entered through the same time or place. By the time US intelligence connected the man to the terror group, the individuals had already been vetted by immigration authorities and allowed into the country, according to officials.

“We’re too early to know everything we want to know about the depth and texture of the links that might be there” between these eight people and ISIS,” an unnamed senior US official said, according to CNN.

Officials Say Terror Warning Lights Are “Blinking Red”

The terrorism warning lights are “blinking red,” former acting CIA director Michael Morell said this week in a foreign affairs piece that circulated this week he co-authored. “Put simply, the United States faces a serious threat of a terrorist attack in the months ahead.”

Those words echo a similar statement by FBI director Christopher Ray, who said he sees, “blinking lights everywhere I turn.”
