A Brazilian prophet dubbed the “modern-day Nostradamus" has warned of an imminent nuclear war after a series of accurate predictions. Athos Salome claims that he foresaw Covid-19, the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and even the numbers for Elon Musk's attempt to buy Twitter.
The Daily Star reports the seer even claims he foresaw robots making humans out of work even before the billionaire revealed his "Optimus" robots. But among the more ominous of the 36-year-old's claims is the chilling declaration that World War Three has already started.
He claimed that this has been confirmed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in an age of digital "fantasy". Dismissing allegations of being nothing but a quack, Athos said: "I don't consider myself a soothsayer, I don't believe it.
"Science has started to prove that my skills are real, a few months ago my list of predictions and I went through technical analysis and no tricks were proven. At the age of 12 I realised that I was different from other people, with more sensitivity to feel, hear and talk about events that I had no control over.
"Sometimes I doubted myself, as I said things that were unlikely to happen, but came true in a short time." Athos has no question as to where or who his abilities have come from, citing God and his gypsy heritage. He adds that all humans are created in God's image and we are thereby, semi-gods.
He said: "I believe that I was chosen to help the people of this world, I believe that I only have sensitivity and a prophetic gift, I know how to understand people and what they are looking for." Athos said that in 2012, he predicted a global pandemic for the year 2020 and 44 days before Vladimir Putin sent tanks rolling into Ukraine, Athos announced it was inevitable.
More cryptically, he posted on Instagram stating that a leader would be born between "22, 44 and/or 66" and that "he will take out part of those who are not in favour of his decisions!" Athos argues the numbers prophesied Elon Musk's collapsed purchase of Twitter because offered to buy it on April 22 for $44billion in addition to his private jet allegedly worth $66million.
In his 2022 predictions written on March 28, 2021, Athos said there would be a fatal 'collapse of the stands' which transpired in July at a bullfight in Tolima, Colombia where six people were killed. "The prediction of replacing human work by robots will come true with the "Robot Elon Musk", scheduled for launch on September 30," Athos said.
"On my list it also said that Queen Elizabeth II would die and that in 2022 the Third World War would begin." He continued: "The third World War III began when the Covid became a pandemic in the world. It was confirmed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and became reality after the super development of technology."
