Man dubbed the ‘Living Nostradamus’ warns ‘the worst is yet to come’ – claiming the world is teetering on the edge of war that could be triggered by ‘a small incident’

A man dubbed the ‘living Nostradamus’ claims that ‘the worst is yet to come’, suggesting the world is teetering on the brink of WWIII.

Athos Salomé, 36, a trained parapsychologist from Brazil, is often called psychic for the accuracy of his insights and predictions, having previously foreseen the coronavirus pandemic, Elon Musk buying Twitter, now called X, and even Queen Elizabeth II’s death.

As people worry about the escalation of conflict and humanitarian crises, he warns that “one small incident” could set off a chain of terrifying events.

Speaking exclusively to FEMAIL, he warned that the ‘risks associated with warfare highlight the potential for misunderstandings, which could lead to escalations’.

He explained: “The ongoing conflicts in regions such as the South China Sea and the military build-up along Russia’s borders are signals of an impending confrontation on a larger scale.”

Salomé warns that recent clashes between China and the Philippines over disputed waters in the South China Sea have fueled already simmering tensions, making the region a hotspot for conflict.

He added that Russia is increasing its presence along its borders, while NATO is stepping up its support for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missile tests are increasing U.S. and allied defense and vigilance, he said.

According to North Korean state media, Kim Jong-un’s military tested a “super-large nuclear warhead” in April.

With cyberwarfare seen as a strategy for disrupting governments and critical infrastructure, Salomé warned that a significant cyberattack has the ability to “cripple” countries, pointing to vulnerabilities in electricity grids, financial institutions and communications networks.

Salomé emphasized the importance of integrating AI into weapons to improve effectiveness and accuracy. The arms race includes developments in missiles and laser weapon systems that are often controlled by AI.

He said: “We are approaching an era where technology plays a role in conflict. AI is increasingly becoming an integral part of weapon systems that serve both defensive purposes.

‘The worst is yet to come, as the great leaders, followers of occultism, use these practices to achieve surgical precision and choose the exact moment for their attacks and great events.

‘The strategies are meticulously calculated based on the 13-month lunar calendar, so that each move is executed at the ideal time to maximize its impact.’

He stressed that international cooperation and continued dialogue are crucial to avoid disasters or even a scenario similar to World War III.

However, Salomé revealed that his predictions are possibilities and not certainties, criticizing the sensationalism that often distorts his statements.

“Forecasts are not set in stone, but potential outcomes are subject to change. Our focus must be on solutions and conflict prevention,” he concluded.

It comes after Salome, who predicted “three days of darkness” in 2024, said his prediction was “misunderstood” when it was previously linked to a coronal mass ejection (large expulsion of plasma and magnetic field from the sun’s corona).

He explained that this blackout does not refer to an event, but rather to trials of EMP technology and escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, potentially paving the way for large-scale conflict akin to World War III.

A specialized tool designed to destroy information systems, EMP is a weapon that can render electronic devices useless without harming people or buildings.

Typically caused by high-altitude explosions, EMP interacts with the Earth’s magnetic fields to create pulses that can disrupt and damage electronic equipment and infrastructure.

During the Cold War, both the US and the Soviet Union viewed EMP as a tool to eliminate enemy infrastructure without causing direct damage.

In 1962, the US detonated a 1.4-megaton nuclear warhead, in an experiment known as Starfish Prime, high in the atmosphere, 400 kilometers (250 miles) above the Pacific Ocean.

The explosion – the world’s most powerful high-altitude nuclear test – created an EMP strong enough to disrupt global radio communications, leading to the failure of Britain’s first satellite, Ariel-1, and even Hawaii’s ground street lamps broke out.

In today’s world, devices exist that are capable of replicating EMP effects, increasing the threat in modern, technology-dependent scenarios.

Non-nuclear, localized EMP devices exist, which work by releasing a burst of energy in the radio frequency or microwave spectrum, which can overload and damage electronic components and systems. But these are only effective on a small scale and disrupt a small town.

However, the importance of EMP remains significant as it has the potential to destabilize defense and communications systems.

Salomé shared his views on the role of artificial intelligence in conflicts, such as that between Israel and Iran, highlighting its potential to radically change strategies and war tactics.

The parapsychologist foresees a time in 2024 when both countries can start using AI technologies for defensive and offensive purposes.

He said: “AI is once again emerging as a factor that can potentially serve as a tool for peacekeeping and as an instigator of new confrontations.

“Advanced countries, including the United States, have quietly developed EMP technologies for security purposes.

‘The US has been investigating EMP capabilities since the testing of Operation Prime in the 1960s. With this technology, they aim to neutralize threats with minimal physical damage.

“Similarly, Russia and China are investing in EMP technologies as tools to disrupt the infrastructure of potential enemies.

“Even North Korea, despite its limitations, is showing interest in EMP technology as part of their pre-emptive strike tactics.

‘This shift in adoption represents a growing trend where EMP is not just seen as a weapon. As an essential part of upcoming military efforts that have the potential to significantly and rapidly disrupt critical systems.”
