THE PROPHECIES OF DIMITRIS LIANTINIS

 

Dimitris Liantinis, the man who mocked Charon, told him absolutely, save the brakes, "I will find you whenever I want, and not whenever you want", he left us the following prophetic text which I am quoting as a photocopy from the face book, as uploaded by his "team" editing the link in photocopy.
Prophetic, which tends to be verified in all respects!

The first (demographic), I also thought about it from a much younger age!
The second (ecological) has come to us rapidly in recent years.
The third (nuclear), knocks on our door directly and persistently.
And the fourth, we've been living it for several 10 years now, but we're ostriching it and we don't want to admit it.

I am very afraid that in a very short period of time, none of us will want to live on an Earth, on a Planet, with all this hanging over his "head"!
