'Living Nostradamus' predicts potential war between China and the US saying 'two significant events' could lead to 'escalations'

Living Nostradamus who predicted the Microsoft outage in April - now warns of a potential war between China and the US.

Athos Salomé, 36, from Brazil, is often referred to as a psychic due to the accuracy of his insights and predictions, after previously foreseeing the coronavirus pandemic, Elon Musk buying Twitter and even Queen Elizabeth's death.'

With tensions rising around the world, the psychic previously warned that we are teetering on the edge of WWIII, saying 'the worst is yet to come'.

Speaking exclusively to Femail his latest prediction is just as frightening, as he claimed that America and China might be heading for conflict, saying two significant events may lead to escalations. 

He said: 'One instance, the South China Sea can turn volatile since this area is characterised by tensions over territory and military presence. 

'On the other hand, a major cyber-attack that can incapacitate such structures or attack a country's security could perhaps be the unforeseen trigger to a war.'

Salomé said such threats are real and he warns of a more insidious threat, saying China is an emerging market that is 'increasingly collaborating with Russia'. 

He said: 'This alliance born of deep-seated self-interest and common spirit of anti-western imperialism is capable of transforming regional conflict into total world war.

'Peculiarly, Asia with fast rates of economic development and great geopolitical significance is viewed as an unstable region and as a hotspot capable of igniting the international conflict.'

One of the most outspoken Chinese analysts of foreign policies, Zheng Yongnian pointed out that due to the increasing measures being taken in international relations, and given the conflict between China and the United States especially, Asia is rapidly approaching the critical point.

'Despite the US claims to achieve peace in Asia under its leadership, the reality is quite the opposite - Asia, under US dominance, is rapidly sliding towards war,' he wrote in an article on the WeChat public platform, according to Yahoo. 

When talking about the signs of the wars, Zheng drew attention to the military buildup in Asia due to the tensions connected with such territories as the South China Sea and Taiwan. 

Salomé said: 'This situation is exacerbated by the US's presence, seen by China as a containment measure; more countries such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are strengthening their capabilities, fuelling an arms race and Zheng stated that the conditions indicate that the region is a 'powder keg' which can lead to a war even by a relatively minor clash.

'The main focus of the present conflict is the competition with China that is being disguised by the United States' attempts to preserve dominance in the Indo-Pacific arena, while China sees American partnerships and military forces as threats to its dominance. 

'This competition is aggravated by China's action in the South China Sea were it has turned disputed islands into military installations and thus escalating tensions among neighbors.

'Thus, the case of Asia could be considered as one vivid example of how regional conflicts may affect the entire world.' 

Zheng also noted that in the absence of any diplomatic intervention or even attempts to diffuse tensions Asia is capable of hosting the next world war.

Salomé said: 'There is nothing to prevent a large scale incident in the South China Sea or a sophisticated cyber attack from taking the world by surprise.' 

He predicted the Microsoft outage earlier this year and claimed it may lead to an 'escalation of confrontation' and eventually cyber war.

Speaking to FEMAIL, Athos said: 'Microsoft’s global shutdown, according to the analysed outcome, may affect essential infrastructure with the escalation of inter-state confrontation and lead to Cyber War.

'For the short term there will be inquiries and remedial action to get services back on line and to plan against future attack.

'Businesses will have to improve the protection of cyberspace, and society might gain concerns over the use of internet services, led to discourses regarding intensive regulation. This event may result in shifts in political actions and military tactics on an international level, and the threat of an international war is real.'

Salomé, who predicted 'three days of darkness' in 2024, said his forecast was 'misunderstood' when it was previously linked to a coronal mass ejection (large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun's corona).

He explained that this blackout alluded to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran potentially paving the way for large scale conflict akin, to a Third World War.

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

Typically triggered by explosions at altitudes EMP interacts with the Earth's magnetic fields to create pulses that can disrupt and damage electronic equipment and infrastructures.

During the Cold War both the USA and the Soviet Union viewed EMP as a tool for disabling enemy infrastructure without causing harm directly.

In 1962, the US detonated a 1.4 megaton nuclear warhead, in an experiment known as Starfish Prime, high in the atmosphere 400 kilometres (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, which led to the failure of the UK’s first satellite, Ariel-1, and it even blow out streetlights on the ground in Hawaii. 

Non-nuclear localised EMP devices do exist, and work by releasing a burst of energy in the radiofrequency or microwave spectrum, which can overload and damage electronic components and systems. But these are only effective on a small scale, disrupting a small city.

However the significance of EMP remains substantial as it has the potential to destabilise defense and communication systems.

Salomé shared his perspective on the role of artificial intelligence in conflicts, such as the one between Israel and Iran, highlighting its potential to revolutionise strategies and warfare tactics.

The parapsychologist foresees a moment in 2024 when both countries may adopt AI technologies for defense and offensive purposes.

He said: 'AI again emerges as a factor possibly serving as both a peacekeeping tool and an instigator of fresh confrontations.

'Advanced nations, including the United States have been quietly advancing EMP technologies for security purposes.

'The US has been exploring EMP capabilities since Operation Prime tests in the 1960s aiming to use this technology to neutralize threats with minimal physical damage. Similarly Russia and China are investing in EMP technologies as tools to disrupt infrastructures of potential foes.

'Even North Korea despite its limitations is showing interest, in EMP technology as part of their preemptive strike tactics.

'This shift, in adoption signifies a growing trend where EMP is not merely viewed as a weapon. As an essential element of upcoming military endeavors having the potential to disrupt critical systems significantly and swiftly.'
