Warning of inexplicable interstellar influence on earthquakes is Joel’s prophecy of cosmic “shake and bake”
In a groundbreaking YouTube video released on Sunday, renowned theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku stunned viewers by claiming that the trajectory of a recently discovered interstellar object appears to correlate directly with global seismic activity. The object, Kaku emphasized, is currently 187 million kilometers from Earth, traveling at 42.6 kilometers per second, yet seismic activity deep beneath Earth’s surface appears to respond to its path. “This should not happen. Gravitational influence at that distance… Coincidence doesn’t escalate. Random chance doesn’t follow orbital mechanics.”

Yeah, Seizing an Oil Tanker That Had a Russian Flag and That Was Protected by Russian Warships Is a Great Way to Make Peace with Russia…
If we wanted to make Russian President Vladimir Putin and his minions extremely angry, we have certainly accomplished that task. When I learned that the U.S. had seized an oil tanker that was displaying a Russian flag and that was being protected by Russian warships, I was absolutely stunned. I have been relentlessly warning that being extremely aggressive with the Russians will backfire severely. If we truly want peace with the Russians, diplomacy is the only solution. Punching the Russians in the face won’t work, and if we continue to go down this path it could easily lead to the unthinkable.

Do You Live in a State That Is at High Risk of Attack During a Nuclear War?
If the Russians launch an all-out nuclear attack on the United States tonight, will you live or will you die? Of course I don’t think that the Russians will launch such an attack right now, but we live at a time when the threat of nuclear war is greater than ever. More than half of the nations on the entire planet are either currently engaged in military conflict or are funding military conflict, and war rumors are spreading like wildfire all over social media on a daily basis. For years, I have been warning that the trajectory that we are currently on is bringing us dangerously close to the unthinkable, but global leaders just continue to drag us in that direction. If we do not change course, nuclear war could happen a lot sooner than many people think.
