Episode Date: January 19, 2026

For centuries, prophets across different lands described the same coming disaster. A German leader would rise with a voice that could move nations.Ancient Jewish scribes embedded something strange in their text—Hebrew letters that pointed to a specific year: 1946. That October, ten Nazi war criminals stood before the gallows at Nuremberg.One of them whispered his final words: "Purimfest 1946." The Nazis believed they could manufacture their own destiny through prophecy and occult manipulation.They edited ancient texts, built an empire on mysticism, and murdered anyone who predicted the wrong future. But there was one prophecy they couldn't control.The pattern was already written, waiting two thousand years to return.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjhMCFNl_YU

Berlin, April 1945. Wilhelm Wolfe, the Reich's astrologer, stood in a bunker beneath the burning city reading star charts. He saw something that terrified him. Mars would enter Leo on April 30th, and when it did, Adolf Hitler would die. Wolf kept the prediction to himself. Five days later, Hitler killed himself. Mars entered the constellation Leo that exact afternoon. This wasn't the first prophecy that predicted the rise of Hitler.

Hitler. They actually started 500 years before he was born. In 1555, Michel de Nostradamus sat in his study in France and stared at a pool of black water, trying to see an image of the future. His prophecies made him famous, but one prediction disturbed him more than the others. Out of the deepest part of Western Europe, from poor people, a young child shall be born, who with his tongue shall seduce many people. His fame shall increase in the Eastern Kingdom. He shall come to tyrannize the land. He shall raise up a hatred that had long been dormant.

The child of Germany observes no law, cries and tears, fire, blood, and battle. Tears, fire, blood, and battle. It sounds like my second divorce hearing. Please, no jokes when I'm trying to build drama. Sorry, sorry, I was triggered. Go ahead. Germany, a good speaker, rising hatred, war,

nearly four centuries before Hitler's birth, Nostradamus saw him coming. Then in 1821, the German Jewish poet, Einrich Heena, published a warning. He described a German thunderbolt that would make the world crash. He said eagles in the air would drop dead. The lions in Africa would hide in their dens. Now, to people in the 1800s, it sounded like poetry. To people in the 1940s, it sounded like the Luftwaffe.

In 1830, a Bavarian forest worker named a time, Maya Stormberger also had visions. He saw machines that would change the world, iron wagons moving without horses, great wire boxes carrying voices across vast distances. Modern technology described over 100 years too early. But then his visions turned dark. Two wars would devastate Europe.

The first would last four years. After this war, money would lose all value. A loaf of red would cost a thousand marks. Then would come the greater war. In 1923, German astrologer Elsbeth Ebertin published her annual almanac. One entry stood out, a horoscope for a little-known political agitator named Adolf Hitler. She warned that this man had the chart of someone who could sacrifice himself for Germany, someone who would expose himself to danger through daring acts.

She saw violence in his stars. She saw crowds following him. Now, Hitler was nobody, a failed artist turned street speaker. But Everton's almanac sold thousands of customers. copies. People read her prediction, and some believed, and believing made them watch for him. Across the Atlantic, Edgar Casey had similar visions. In July 1932, he spoke about a dangerous form of imperialism rising in Europe. In 1935, he predicted war would begin in 1938 or 1939. In 1941, he predicted America's entry into the conflict. Every prediction came true.

These weren't vague prophecies about distant futures. These were specific and highly detailed. Profits across centuries, different countries, different methods, all seeing the same disaster, all describing the same man. In Munich, a small group had been collecting these prophecies for years, but they weren't trying to prevent what was coming. They were trying to create it.

Booster Juice, Canadian-born, blending since 1999. Prophets across centuries warned about a German leader who would bring catastrophe. In 1918, someone was paying attention. In the back room of a Munich hotel, a small group met to discuss Germany's future. They called themselves the Tully Society. They believed an ancient race lived beneath the earth. These beings gave humanity its knowledge and technology, and they chose the German people as their successors.

Relese people? No, they were called the Vrilla, a race of giants who escaped the great world. flood and created an underground kingdom called... Agatha? Yep. Agatha linked down in his stashkin. The Tully Society had money and influence. Judges, police chiefs, military officers.

They funded the German Workers' Party. That party became the Nazis. But they needed a voice, a leader who could channel this destiny. Dietrich Eckhart sat in a smoke-filled room, watching a young corporal rant to a crowd. Eckhart didn't see a soldier. He saw potential. Eckhart was the Tully Society's most influential member. He claimed to have seen a vision during a seance, a man who had rise to lead Germany, a furor.

Eckhart believed that man was Hitler. For four years, Eckart became Hitler's mentor. He gave him money, connections, influence, everything he needed to rise. In December 1923, Eckart was dying. Witnesses claimed his final words were about his greatest creation. Follow Hitler. will dance, but it is I who have called the tune. I have initiated him into the secret doctrine, opened his centers of vision, and given him the means to communicate with the powers.

And Hitler dedicated my Kampf to Eckhart. And among them, I want also to count that man, one of the best who devoted his life to the awakening of his, our people, Dietrich Eckart. Eckhart called the tune. Hitler learned to dance. And across Germany, audiences started to believe they were watching destiny unfold. Dietrich Eckhart molded Hitler into a leader, but orchestration required more than mysticism.

It required showmanship. Eric Jan Hanneson was a con man. He reinvented himself as a Danish nobleman with psychic powers. But Hanneson understood something most magicians didn't. Power isn't about predicting the future. It's about making people believe that you can. Hanneson stood in front of a mirror with Hitler, correcting his posture.

He taught the future dictator how to turn a trembling hand into a fist, how to turn a whisper into a roar. Hitler was a mediocre speaker. Hanneson turned him into a force of nature. Oh, great, a dictator gets a life coach. What could possibly go wrong? But Hanneson's greatest gift was prophecy itself. In February 1933, Hottison hosted an exclusive event at his Palace of the Occult.

He entered a trance and spoke a prophecy. I see a great house in flames. It is not a little house. It is a very big, official-looking building, and it will be consumed by flames before the end of this month. I see this with absolute certainty. Five days later, the Reichstag building burned, and Hitler seized me. power. But Hanneson knew too much. Three weeks later, his body was found in a field, three bullets in the back of the head. With Hanneson gone, Yosef Gerbels stepped in. As minister of

propaganda, Gerbils continued the Hitler prophecy. On January 30th, 1939, Hitler addressed the Reichstag. Gerbils wrote the speech. Hitler delivered it. Today, I will once more be a prophet if the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war. Then the result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe. That was more than a prophecy. It was a promise. And Gerbils made sure everyone in Germany understood. Hitler wasn't just predicting the future. He was a creating it. Prophecy became policy, prediction became propaganda, and Gerbels was about to weaponize

it on a scale the world had never seen. Yosef Gerbels established an entire department dedicated to one purpose, weaponizing Nostradamus. The propaganda ministry hired scholars to comb through the prophet's quatrains, not to study them, to edit them. They printed millions of forged pamphlets, each one carefully crafted to look like authentic 16th century prophecies, each, each one one predicting inevitable German victory. Nazi planes dropped them over France and England by the thousands. The Allies found them everywhere in the streets and fields, tucked into mailboxes. Then the British responded with their own forgeries. Both sides manufactured prophecies, dropping them from the sky like propaganda bombs.

That is propaganda war still happens today. But now the pamphlets are called tweets. I can't argue with that. For three years, this prophecy war worked. The German people believed Victory was written in the stars, ordained by ancient seers. Victory was inevitable. Then Rudolf Hess destroyed everything. Hess was Hitler's deputy fur. He'd been with the party since the early Munich days. But Hess had a secret.

He believed in astrology more than he believed in Hitler. In May 1941, Hess consulted his personal astrologer who said that the planets were aligned for peace negotiations. Saturn and Jupiter formed a favorable, angle. Mars was in retreat. If Hess flew to Scotland now, he could negotiate peace with Britain and save Germany from a two-front war. He based his flight plan on a horoscope. He trusted the stars more than he trusted his generals. He better hope Mercury isn't in Gatorade. Retrograde. What I say. On May 10, 1941, Hess flew 900 miles across the North Sea. He parachuted into a

Scottish field and demanded to meet Churchill. The British arrested him immediately. During interrogation, Hess explained his mission. I have come on my own initiative, since England cannot win the war. If we make peace now, each nation can rebuild what has been lost. But if we wait, if we continue this madness, more will die. Thousands more, millions perhaps. Please, you must listen before it is too late for all of us. Churchill thought he was crazy.

When Hitler found out, he was furious. Not because Hess failed, because Hest failed, because Hester revealed what Hitler tried to hide, the prophecy. Hitler ordered a purge. The SS called it Action Hess. Within weeks, over 600 astrologers were arrested across Germany. Some were sent to concentration camps. Others simply disappeared.

The same prophets who helped manufacture Hitler's destiny were now too dangerous to let live. The prophecy war was over, but its damage was done. The German people were taught to believe in fate, to trust that victory was written in the stars. That belief became a weapon pointed at their own future. Gerbels manufactured prophecies. He created a narrative of inevitable victory,

but there is one prophecy he couldn't control, one that waited for over 2,000 years. I skipped breakfast this morning, stay out of my way. Don't threaten me with your bad choices.

It was over 2,000 years old, and it came from a Jewish queen named Esther. Ancient Persia, 486 BC.

King Xerxes ruled the Persian Empire, but the man who whispered in his ear was Haman. Hamon wasn't just an advisor, he was the Grand Vizier, the second most powerful man in the world. When he walked through the streets, everyone was required to bow. But one day, a Jewish man named Mordecai refused to bow. Haman was furious. He convinced Xerxes to issue an order. On a specific date, all Jews in the empire would be killed. But Haman had a problem.

He didn't know Queen Esther was Jewish. Mordecai was her cousin. When he learned of Haman's plan, he sent a secret message to the queen. Then Esther waited. She hosted elaborate banquets. Night after night she gained the king's trust. Then she made her move. At the final banquet, she revealed everything,

her Jewish identity, Hamon's genocide order, and evidence that Hamon was embezzling from the royal treasury. Zerxes was furious. He ordered Hamon hanged on the same gallows Hamon built for Mordecai, a structure 75 feet high visible across the entire city. When you build your own execution device, maybe rethink your life choices. But Esther wasn't finished.

Hamann's ten sons had copies of the genocide orders. They would continue their father's plan. Esther demanded their death as well. All ten were found hanging the next morning. When Jewish scribes recorded the story centuries later, something strange happened. In the verses listing Hamans' ten sons, three Hebrew letters were written smaller than usual,

Taab, shin, and Zion. One letter was written large, Vav. In Hebrew, letters have numon. numerical values. The small letters add up to 707. The large letter equals six. Together they form the Jewish year 5707. On our calendar, that's 1946. The scribes were encoding a date. The pattern Esther established, 10 enemies hanged for attempting genocide would repeat. And just as prophecy said, it would repeat on October, 1946. When Jewish scribes recorded the book of Esther 2400 years ago, they encoded a date in Hebrew letters, the Jewish year 5707, October

1946. That exact month in Nuremberg, Germany, several Nazi leaders were sentenced to death by hanging. Two hours before the executions, Herman Guring bit down on a cyanide capsule in his cell. He took his own life. That left 10. The executions began just after 1 a.m. And one by one, Nazi war criminals climbed 13 steps to the gallows, the same number of steps Haman built. Each man was asked for final words.

Yulia Stryker was ninth. For 12 years, his newspaper called for the murder of every Jew. Now he stood on a wooden trap door. He looked at the witnesses. His last words, Purimfest, 1946. Purim is the Jewish holiday celebrating Queen Esther's victory over Haman, the holiday that commemorates ten sons hanging for genocide. Stryker knew exactly what was happening. He was fulfilling a 2400 year-year-old prophecy. Hitler knew it too. In 1944, he warned his officers that if Germany lost, the Jews would celebrate a second Porum. He knew the pattern. He just thought he could break it. By dawn on October 16th, all ten bodies were cut down. Not nine, not eleven. Ten Nazi war

criminals hanged for genocide, the same number as Haman's sons, the same crime, the same punishment. The prophecy demanded it. The Hebrew letters in the book of Esther were in a warning, they were an instruction, an ancient pattern that couldn't be broken. The Nazis spent years trying to manufacture their own destiny. They edited prophecies, murdered astrologers. But in the end, the only prophecy that mattered was the one they tried to destroy, a Jewish text. But the pattern returned, and the prophecy was fulfilled, exactly as it was predicted 2,400 years ago. Oh, hey, how's it going?

But 10 Nazis hanged at Nuremberg, just like Hamann's sons. The pattern returned exactly as written. So how much of this is real? Well, let's look at the pieces.

Ellsbeth Everton did publish a horoscope for Adolf Hitler in her 1924 almanac. She warned that he had the chart of someone who could sacrifice himself for Germany. Hitler was already a public figure, a street agitator. But this wasn't prophecy, it was political commentary disguised as astrology. Yeah, and cable news does astrology disguise as political commentary? I don't know what you mean. Yeah, you do. Eric Yonahanneson did predict the Reichstag fire five days before it burned.

He was executed three weeks later. But his prediction wasn't psychic ability. It was inside knowledge. Hannison probably knew the plan and maybe even helped coordinate it. He was murdered to keep him quiet. The Nostradamus Quatrain, are real, but Gerbil's propaganda ministry changed them. The original texts are vague enough to apply to dozens of historical figures.

A young child from poor people could be anyone. The Nazi version made them specific, made them point to Hitler. That's not prophecy, that's selective editing. Government editing source material to fit their narrative. Oh, thank goodness we move past that. Are you being sarcastic? Of course, I'm being sarcastic. The Book of Esther is more interesting.

The Hebrew letter variations exist in every ancient matter. manuscript we have. The numerical values do add up to 5707, the Jewish year corresponding to 1946. But scholars debate whether this was intentional or not. But the parallel is documented fact. Ten Nazis were Hanked Nuremberg for genocide, the same crime, the same punishment, the same fate as Hamann's ten sons. Was this prophecy or coincidence, or something stranger? A belief so strong that it bent reality to match ancient text. Here's what we know. Prophecy doesn't have to be true to change the future. It just has to be believed. The Nazis committed unthinkable crimes because they thought it was predetermined. That's the real danger, not prophecy, the manipulation

of prophecy, the weaponization of belief. And we see this today. We're told what to think by people in power. We're given narratives disguised as news. During COVID, if you question lockdowns, mask mandates, or any part of the official story, you were a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theorist, also known as someone who reads the news two years early. In 2020, I publicly said that the Wuhan bat theory was propaganda. I was attacked. My YouTube channel was at risk. Yeah, remember, as soon as you opened your yap, I updated my resume.

But I didn't shut up. I changed my approach. Go watch early episodes. I continued to comment on COVID and other government narratives, but I disguised it as comedy. What you consider passes for comedy. Either way, if you've been watching The Y Files for a while, you know that our episodes are aging well. They're aging like a fine of wine. Now we know those early suspicions about COVID were justified.

The government lied. The media amplified those lies. Not because they were evil, because they wanted control. They wanted us afraid, which kept us compliant. And throughout history, dictators used prophecy to manufacture consent to make people believe their destiny was fixed. Today it's not prophecy, it's expert consensus. It's follow the science. Anything that questions the narrative is now labeled misinformation.

And we have a responsibility to question what we're told, to examine who benefits from our fear and to resist those who want to control us through a manufactured narrative. Your future isn't written in ancient texts or planetary movements or expert predictions. Your future is determined by your choices. You can think for yourself,

or believe what you're told. The choice is yours. So choose wisely, choose freely, and choose courageously. Because the only prophecy that matters is the one you write yourself.
