And all this time, people were messing around with anagrams trying to figure out who Mabus was going to be :P.

Obama Taps Mabus for Navy Secretary
By Philip Rucker
President Obama will nominate former Mississippi Governor Ray Mabus to be secretary of the Navy and has tapped six other officials for key positions at the Department of Defense and elsewhere in his administration, the White House announced this afternoon.

The Secretary of the Navy is responsible for, and has the authority under Title 10 of the United States Code, to conduct all the affairs of the Department of the Navy, including: recruiting, organizing, supplying, equipping, training, mobilizing, and demobilizing. The Secretary also oversees the construction, outfitting, and repair of naval ships, equipment and facilities. SECNAV is responsible for the formulation and implementation of policies and programs that are consistent with the national security policies and objectives established by the President and the Secretary of Defense.

In case you aren't familiar with Nostradamus, he was an apothecary and "seer" of the 1500s. Nostradamus specifically predicted 3 antichrists:

#1 - Napaulon Roy (Napoleon)
#2 - Hister (Hitler)
#3 - Mabus

Century 2, Quatrain 62
Mabus will soon die, then will come,
A horrible undoing of people and animals,
At once one will see vengeance,
One hundred powers, thirst, famine, then the comet will pass.



Some sea/marines/navy quatrains follow directly after:

67
The blond one will come to compromise the fork-nosed one
Through the duel and will chase him out:
The exiles within he will have restored,
Committing the strongest to the marine places.

68
The efforts of Aquilon will be great:
The gate on the Ocean will be opened,
The kingdom on the Isle will be restored:
London will tremble discovered by sail.

Past predictions attributed to Nostradamus:
- Death of Henry II by jousting accident
- Fires of London
- The French revolution
- Death of JFK
etc.

And now back to your regularly scheduled program.
