Century XIII Quatrain 1
His time is up.
Ballots, debates, wild smoke,
Rage and fury throughout every province.
Tears, cries, never times so bitter.
Century XIII Quatrain 2
The czarist prince near the Lakeshore of Etobicoke
Will return in true patriot love.
Going beyond the thoughful ones will draw up a plan.
Rae, LeBlanc, Trudeau, a man in a mask. Others.
Century XIII Quatrain 3
Natural governors prevail:
The brown bag holds the secret.
Banquets offered by day,
Granaries plundered at night.
Century XIII Quatrain 4
The angry barbarian King will be driven west, vanquished.
The people tried by frost,
Women and youth weeping.
The cabinet remains a mystery.
Century XIII Quatrain 5
From the top of the Hill a voice heard,
Be gone, be gone all of you on both sides.
The anger will be appeased by the blood of the blue ones:
From Abbott to Zarac, necks burning in sun, expelled.
Century XIII Quatrain 6
The King and his court in the place of cunning tongue,
Within the temple facing the palace:
In the garden the Dukes of Charest and Dumont dagger tongue.
The scribes rejoice.
Century XIII Quatrain 7
True patriot will sound the trumpet.
Ten ships nearby will turn to drive it back.
Great war ends, the united ones to join in faith.
Through peace he will attain to the empire.
Century XIII Quatrain 8
Near the end of two centuries and eight, governed to its greatest detriment, plundered:
The barbarians may evade the executioner.
Consumed by vapours, great enemy of the entire human race: crazy shithouse rats.
Never were the people so wronged.
Century XIII Quatrain 9
The Gardens at Stanley and Halifax harbours will flood so high
That they will believe the Goracle reborn.
Into the colossal storms the Baird will flee,
Great white ones drowning enrage the people.
Century XIII Quatrain 10
For the war room one, walls will be converted from brick to marble.
Seven and fifty pacific years,
Joy to mortals, the aquaduct renewed,
Health, abundance of fruits, joy and mellifluous times.
From The Quatrains: December 31, 2008
This clown was running a war room against an enemy divided. Because of his small successes, he thinks he’s a genius. I hope someone puts him back in charge of the Liberal war room. That would be quite amusing.

I can hear Warren now, “I think I can, I think I can…
It took me a few minutes to realize this was WK’s predictions from A YEAR AGO! That makes it even funnier.
I was fooled because it seems exactly like something he might post today, predicting for next year. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he still does.
So he’s a failed Machiavelli and a tenth rate Nostradamus.
Plus, his career as an ethnic-restaurant critic didn’t really take off.
Mercifully, I’ve never undergone the “Sh*t for Brains from H&ll” experience, but I’m convinced somehow that he’s not a top notch Sid Vicious either, what with being seventy or something (so sad).
I’d be kinder if he weren’t so mean.
Are we getting a bit smug?
Just remember one thing, the numbers, the east has them and we don’t. With the number of voting idiots in the toronto area warren’s predictions are probably not to far off. quebec? Enough said, we all know about trusting those amphibious pond dwellers.
This should be an annual, but titled: War Room Nostradumbass.
“He’s so wrong he ain’t never been right.”
I’ll predict his stars Dhalla and Trudeau are turfed next election.
Long-experienced folks in the investment biz usually demur from making predictions and advise that if you really must you should predict an event (or a number) but never a date or time frame. This way, of course, you can’t be wrong just early!
Let’s be aware tho that it’s only Dec 27: 5 days including today remain.
“Super smart”
What? Are we in grade five all of a sudden. What a dipsh1t.
Le duc de la Russie seul et triste sur le rivage de lac
Centre, Danforth, Laurier, allies secrets, ils conspirent ensemble a offrir
La couronne a le Dauphin avec le nom, promesses secretes de deux royaumes
Le roi de l’ouest jaillit le piege, desarme des ennemis que le duc se sauve. Laissez le bon temps roulez.
Kinsella is so far behind, he thinks he is first.
Well Ken, he is first – in being a jerk!!!
Furthermore, the Jerkstore called, and they ran out of Warren Kinsella! (That’s gold!)
“we’ve got the most impressive leader: he’s super-smart, he’s accomplished, he’s decent, he has an extraordinary ability to bring people together”
Does this remind anyone else of a certain new senator from Minnesota who used to play an SNL character in a cardigan, who in lisping similar sentiments would finish off with “and gosh darn it, they really, really like me.”
Sgt LeJaune @ 5:29, If my Babel Fish translation is correct, we can hope this is how it turns out. Sorry, my high school French is a little rusty other than “Flocons De Mais Grilles” and “Faites lepoint” regarding Liberal crap.
Ironically, Bourque posted this Jackal mysticism below an article by Pink Lloyd Axeworthy mumbling about Liberal party make overs – it included the same commie kleptonomics and transnationalist sovereignty/resource sell-outs the Libranos have been pimping for the Desmarais party oligarchs, and which the public has thoroughly rejected for middle of the road Harper-nomics and renewed multi regional nationalism.
Wornout Kantsellit’s predictions certainly seem surreal and occultish in light of the stark realities Liberals refuse to confront – that being: substantive constituent-oriented policy creation.
As long as the Liberals ignore majority opinions and continue to substitute globalist and corporate agendas instead of responding to constituent needs they will remain a 911 rump party.
Harper has the job as long as he wants it with the Liberals refusing to remake themselves as a populist alternative.
Ah, who doesn’t take Warren Kinsella with a grain of salt?
The guy’s infamously fulluvit, after all. Those of us in the know, us enlightened folks, know he’s not to be paid any serious attention, just like any other crank.
Kate
Very nice quatrains. Of course if Katsmeat had been clever enough to couch his predictions in Nostradamus like poetry could we then refer to him as Nostrodumbass?
Syncro
Ken Dryden was a pretty good hockey goalie, but he is almost illiterate. I recall reading a commentary from him in the National Post a year or so ago. I don’t recall what it was about, probably because I couldn’t understand anything he said, he seemed incapable of forming a proper sentence. Yeah, he is a real good reason for voting Liberal, just about as much an influence as one, Warren Kinsella.
Thanks Ken, the grammar is pretty shaky but the players shine through fairly well.
Good old babelfish.
Ruby Dhalla was mentioned here. Let’s not forget the bill she is trying to zing through. C-428
A bill to reduce the 10 year residency req. down to 3 years for Old Age Security benefits.
maybe more Nannys?
This screams to me that someone should put this to music, and make a stage play. Perhaps with Michael Moore as the lead.
Oh, I just noticed it was dated 31 Dec 08.
Quote: “in the extraordinary circumstances in which we find ourselves, it is traditional ‘liberal’ policy which makes the most sense – smart government involvement in the economy, and everything that means. Hoary old ‘conservative’ chestnuts – tax cuts, privatization, indifference to the weak and the poor – just don’t appeal to people in times like these”
The only thing government can do differently from the private sector is to use coercion. There are no magic wands for government leaders to wave and no special insights into economic conditions or the minds of individuals in the economy. All the state can do is push people around, substituting central authority for the judgments of individuals about what is correct for their own lives. So “smart government involvement in the economy” is almost impossible to deliver – as the history of Canada and other nations has demonstrated. As for tax cuts and privatization, they generally help the economy improve, which means goods and services produced and thus more riches for the poor.
Come to think of it, I probably posted something like this on 31 Dec 08 as well.
Yeah, good ol’ WK. An embarassment to prophets and seers everywhere. 10 swings, 10 misses.
