Spiritualist’s War End Prophecy Seen For August
Jamestown Post Journal notes from Dr. Clifford Bias, trance intermediary for Dr. Lasenites, predicting war’s end in August and major events in 1944. Forecasts include Allied victory in Europe, increased bloodshed in early 1944, deaths of four White House figures, two revolutions in South America, sugar abundance, and Dewey not securing the GOP nomination. Bias’s prophecies, printed for years, are cited as vindicating skeptics with past accurate April and August war drive predictions.
