Living Nostradamus predicts 'invisible' global war sparked by US city that will lead to global catastrophe

A man known online as the 'Living Nostradamus' has shared a frightening prediction about how wars could unfold in the future.

Once upon a time, warring nations would rock up on the battlefield at an agreed time and spend the day scrapping it out. Then technology advanced and war became more advanced, with the invention of tanks, ammunition and trench warfare.

However, the world has moved on once again since the end of World War II, with conflict now looking completely different to anything we learnt about in history class.

So it shouldn't be a surprise that people are speculating what conflict will look like in a futuristic world – a prospect which is pretty terrifying, if the predictions of Athos Salomé come to pass.

Known as the 'Living Nostradamus,' Salomé claims to have predicted events such as Covid-19, the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and cyber attacks at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

So what does he have to say about modern warfare?

How 'selective intelligence blackouts' could make us a casualty of war

Sharing his latest prediction with LADbible, Salomé explained that the next phase of war would focus less on 'soldiers, tanks and territory' and more on who makes the correct predictions first.

Labelling the tactic as 'selective intelligence blackouts', Salomé says we'd see 'coordinated failures across climate forecasting systems, air defence networks, orbital monitoring and civilian communications'. The Brazilian added that in 'extreme' scenarios, we could see missing satellites and false reports from radar systems and 'military AI systems'.

"The repercussions would be catastrophic," he said. "It wouldn’t be required anymore to annihilate a superpower — only to make it see the world in the wrong way for a few precious hours."

Technological warfare isn't an entirely alien prospect, with MPs raising concerns about the rising number of 'grey zone' attacks linked to alleged Russian mercenary groups across the UK.

Meanwhile, drones, online disinformation campaigns and hacking are being utilised in the US-Iran war.

Salomé points to the ongoing AI arms race, low-orbit surveillance satellites, autonomous drone operations, hypersonic detection systems and cyberattacks as evidence of this.

He also predicts that the 'centre' of such attacks wouldn't necessarily be major population centres, but places where the technology is being developed. Salomé uses the US city of Huntsville, Alabama, as an example of this, as the metropolis is home to Redstone Arsenal, a major defence and aerospace hub.

"It has become one of the most advanced centres on Earth for radar systems, predictive intelligence, missile defence and automated warfare," he said of Huntsville, which is nicknamed 'The Rocket City'.

In Salomé's vision for futuristic warfare, cities such as Huntsville would be the primary target for the selective intelligence attacks, with the 39-year-old even suggesting that some nations may already be there.

"The war of the future might not be won in the hands of the strongest nation," he added. "But in the country able to witness the attack before everyone else."
