On September 9th, William started to try to get closer to the press, since they have been giving him a hard time lately. So he released a press release, with a bunch of doomsday prophecies, including some "opportunistic ones", and he brought up those "free thinkers", (unbound by logic, science, and common sense), the "Millennium Group" once again. He also tried to call upon the prophecies of Nostradamus, bad move, since Old Nostradamus was not a prophet at all (see my comments at the bottom).
It was all in capital letters
APPEAL TO THE PRESS
I APPEAL TO THE PRESS TO MAKE THESE FACTS KNOWN SO THAT THE AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE ARE WELL PREPARED, AT ANY TIME, FOR ANY EVENT, SHOULD IT OCCUR.
I AM WELL AWARE OF THE DOOMSDAY STIGMA PEOPLE HAVE PLACED ON ME SCIENCE MY MISSION BEGAN IN THE EARLY 1980's. WHEN I REVEAL TO THE WORLD THE MANY MESSAGES I HAVE RECEIVED FROM JESUS AND MARY, I AM BRANDED A 'CRACKPOT', A 'FALSE PROPHET' ETC. - YET THE PROPHECIES OF NOSTRADAMUS ARE ALWAYS PLASTERED AROUND THE MEDIA - AS AUTHENTIC -YET BOTH HIS AND MY PROPHECIES ARE THE SAME..
SINCE 1982, JESUS AND MARY HAVE GIVEN ME 5,156 PROPHECIES, OF WHICH 49% HAVE COME TO PASS. THIS CAN BE STUDIED IN THE NEW BOOK THAT IS TO BE RELEASED THIS MONTH CALLED: "THE LAST POPE", WHICH WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT AUSTRALIA AND THE WORLD.
SOME OF THE PROPHECIES YET TO BE FULFILLED WHICH MAKE UP SOME VERY SERIOUS AND IMPORTANT PROPHECIES, ARE TO HAPPEN VERY SOON. SET BELOW ARE SOME OF THESE PROPHECIES:
* AUSTRALIA WILL BE INVADED 100 KILOMETERS WEST OF DARWIN AND 100 KILOMETRES NORTH OF PERTH, BY INDONESIA. OUR LADY ALSO SPOKE OF THE WAR STARTING IN EAST TIMOR, GOING TO JAVA, PAPUA NEW GUINEA, THEN AUSTRALIA.
I APPEAL TO THE PRIME MINISTER, MR. HOWARD, TO PLEASE BUILD UP THE ARMED FORCES BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE PLACED THE NEW LAWS ON DISARMAMENT TO THE PEOPLE, FOR THIS DOES NOT STOP CRIME, IT ONLY STOPS GOOD PEOPLE DEFENDING THEMSELVES - ESPECIALLY NOW, WHEN WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF BEING ATTACKED AND INVADED, AS HEAVEN HAS SAID SO MANY TIMES.
LASTLY, OUR LADY HAS ALSO WARNED OF A COMET THAT WILL CAUSE MANY NATURAL DISTURBANCES. THIS HAS BEEN FORECAST FOR 15 YEARS - AND MORE RECENTLY, IN APRIL THIS YEAR CONCERNING COMET LEE.
IN A MESSAGE OF THE 13TH APRIL, 1996: THE GREAT SIGN THAT YOU ARE AWAITING WILL COME WHEN THE ALIGNMENT OF THE PLANETS IS VISIBLE TO ALL - THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT A GREAT CHASTISEMENT WILL COME!
COMET LEE WAS VISIBLE AT THE ECLIPSE IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR. COMET LEE WILL CAUSE AN ELECTROMAGNETIC PULL WITH ITS TAIL, THIS MONTH, DURING THE TIME WHEN THE SUN GIVES OUT A MASSIVE FLARE. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ELECTRIC DISCHARGE TO THE EARTH VIA THE COMET, WHICH COMES IN LINE WITH THE EARTH AND SUN.
THE ASTRONOMERS OF THE GROUP CALLED, "THE MILLENNIUM", ADVISE US TO STORE WATER, FOOD, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUCH, DURING THIS MONTH, AS MANY MAJOR NATURAL DISASTERS WILL OCCUR. THEIR WEBSITE IS: http://www.millenngroup.com.
I RECOMMEND TO ALL CONCERNED TO PREPARE YOURSELVES. WE COULD BE IN FOR A ROUGH RIDE. ALL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS SHOULD MAKE SURE ALL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS, ON ALL LEVELS, ARE PREPARED.
AS FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD: PRAY SO THAT ALL MAY BE AVERTED.
WISHING GOD'S BLESSINGS ON ALL THE PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA, AND THANK YOU TO THE PRESS
YOURS SINCERELY, THE 'LITTLE PEBBLE'
Well, lets take this slowly shall we?
1: Nostradamus has been well and truly been shown to be wholly wrong, and misinterpreted. Only New Age Nitwits and Doomsday kooks accept Nostradamus these days. The claim that Nostradamus's vague predictions mean anything is rubbish. The claim that Nostradamus predicted Hitler, because one of his quatrains mentions HISTER, has been shown to be rubbish. You see, Hister, was the old name for the Danube River. It was the name of the river that Nostradamus knew. So the followers of Nostradamus have often made the claim that Hitler was born NEAR the Danube. So were most Germans. Oh, and Nostradamus claim that in the 7th month of 1999, there would be a great "King of Terror raining from the sky? Well, here we are in NOVEMBER 1999, and NOTHING HAPPENED. Sorry about that. So in that respect, William's and Nostradamus's prophecies are indeed the same. As for being branded a crackpot? If it walks like a duck....
2: For William to claim that 49% of his prophecies have come true is at best, stretching the truth. Most of the nuts I deal with on the net, the self proclaimed prophets usually claim 90%-100% accuracy for their vague prognostications, or their easily identified opportunistic predictions. I would remind everyone, and William included, about his prophesies about Hale-Bopp, Thredbo, the ones he's passed on from the worlds most unsuccessful prophet "Yolandita", and more recently, Comet Lee.
3: The Millennium group is a bunch of conspiracy nuts, and just plain bad "scientists" (and that's a stretch of the term). Check out some of my links, look around the internet newsgroups and you will realise that the "Millennmium Group" is a laughing stock. None of the predictions William made about the comet came true, and the comet was NOT visible during the eclipse. For up to date information on Comet Lee go HERE, "Contrary to some reports, no comet was discovered during the eclipse nor was Comet Lee seen during the eclipse" and HERE for information from THE ACTUAL DISCOVERER OF THE COMET
4: The Indonesian situation has of calmed down quite a bit now that they have left East Timor, and I've been to Indonesia and South East Asia. It does not take a prophet to realise that South East Asia, and in particular, Indonesia is a bit of a mess, with a melting pot of all sorts of conflicting cultures. Australia has had problems with Indonesia since before the invasion of East Timor in 1975, so this is just William being opportunistic.For Indonesia to invade 100 KM west of Darwin would be militarily stupid..
5: The Planets becoming irregular in their flightpaths (I think he meant orbits). Well, you can take that with a grain of salt. The laws of celestial mechanics are well understood by most people, but evidently not all.
6: Williams prediction that he will become Pope. Well, after Hale-Bopp returns in a few thousand years, maybe.
Sorry William, you get a big, fat "F".
