Third Secret of Fatima and War With Russia

October 13 was the 98th anniversary of the first Marian apparitions in Fatima, Portugal. Young children who repeatedly saw the Virgin Mary were told three secrets, the third of which we have never been told.
Pope John Paul II commented on this third secret of Fatima in 1984, as noted in this article on the Third Secret (which has far more details):
"Cardinal Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict) was always tight lipped about the Fatima prophecies, and Pope John Paul II placed him in charge of them. Ratzinger commented in 1984 that “the prophecies contained in this Third Secret correspond to what Scripture announces.” But which scripture – Revelation?
In the year 2000, the Vatican succumbed to pressure and released… something. They claimed the third secret was about the 1981 assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II. Few believed that the first secrets were on big subjects like hell, world wars, and the spread of communism – but that a mere failed assassination was the horrible secret that couldn’t be revealed for so long. Bishop Joao Venancio says he saw Lucia’s original paper, handwritten with about 25 lines on one page with small margins – and that what the Vatican released in 2000 was 62 lines on four pages with no margins – not the authentic document. We also have interesting comments from Pope John Paul II, who commented on the Third Secret while speaking in Fulda, Germany:
“It should be sufficient for all Christians to know this: if there is a message in which it is written that the oceans will flood whole areas of the earth, and that from one moment to the next millions of people will perish, truly the publication of such a message is no longer something to be so much desired.” (originally from the October 1981 issue of Stimme des Glaubens.)
Since I assume there is a pole shift coming soon, I am willing to assume the pope knew what he was talking about, and that the third secret refers to horrific events at the end of the world. I assume that the official explanation given on May 13, 2000 is a deception.
On March 13, 2013, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, became the first pope from the Americas. The Patriarch of Lisbon, Cardinal José Policarpo, soon announced that Pope Francis twice asked him to consecrate his papacy to Our Lady of Fatima, and this was done on May 13, 2013 – on the 96th anniversary of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to the three shepherd children. Pope Francis obviously takes the secrets of Fatima seriously, and publically acknowledges this by having his papacy consecrated this way. It implies that the events of the third secret are not over.
Fatima author Father Malachi Martin has said that “the Third Secret is your worst nightmare, multiplied exponentially.” (http://www.tldm.org/News10/MalachiMartinBelievedInBayside.htm) In an interview with Art Bell in 1997, he explained that “I was shown the Text of the third secret in February 1960. I cooled my heels in the corridor outside the Holy Father’s apartments, while my Boss, Cardinal Bea, was inside debating with the Holy Father (Pope John XXIII), and with a other group of other bishops and priests, and two young Portuguese seminarians, who translated the letter, a single page, written in Portuguese….. on the content of the Third Secret, Sister Lucy one day replied: ‘It’s in the Gospel, and in the Apocalypse, read them.’ We even know that one day Lucy indicated Chapters 8, 13 of the Apocalypse. (http://garabandalnews.overblog.com/2014/01/fatima-3rd-secret-and-facts.html) Father Martin said of the fulfillment of the Third Secret that these events are “not 200 years away, it is not 50 years away, it is not 20 years away…” He expressed the view that major portions of end times events would be underway before the centennial of the Marian apparitions (before May 13, 2017.)...
Pope John Paul II did talk about massive flooding and pole shift type events killing many people. I believe the next North Pole will be in Siberia, northwest of Lake Baikal, near the borders of Russia, China, and Mongolia. There is a large magnetic anomaly there. The famous Tunguska blast event of 1908 occurred there. The Magnetic North Pole is already moving in that direction. And one of the main founders of the pole shift theory, Professor Charles Hapgood (author of books like Path of the Pole and Earth’s Shifting Crust) also felt this was the likely location of our next North Pole. If that is correct, and if that will happen soon – what will that do to the people of Russia and China?
Most of their nations would become uninhabitable, arctic wasteland. We may already think of Siberia that way, but imagine it even closer to the North Pole. Let’s now look in context at what Pope John Paul II said right before commenting on huge floods killing millions: “Given the seriousness of the contents, my predecessors in the Petrine office diplomatically preferred to postpone publication so as not to encourage the world power of Communism to make certain moves. On the other hand, it should be sufficient for all Christians to know this: if there is a message in which it is written that the oceans will flood whole areas of the earth…”
Pope John Paul II suggested that World Communism – the major powers of which are Russia and China – would make some hostile moves if they knew the secret. Father Malachi Martin agreed and wrote in his book The Keys of This Blood: “were the leaders of the Leninist Party-State to know these words, they would in all probability decide to undertake certain territorial and militaristic moves against which the West could have few if any means of resisting.” I think they would decide to conquer new lands farther from the upcoming new North Pole to provide suitable new homelands for their populations. Central Europe, South Asia, and the Middle East would probably be invaded by Russia and China. This may be one reason the Russians are preparing to invade Ukraine. Perhaps in Revelation 9:16 when an army of two hundred million comes to the Euphrates from the east – it is because the imminent pole shift has become obvious and the people of China and Russia are fleeing. If so we can expect huge wars in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East soon."
Sister Lucia told us that what the events of the Third Secret play out, Russia would be the instrument of chastisement. That Russia would attack many nations. That Russia would start WWIII. With Russia currently moving into Ukraine and Syria, the idea of a revived and aggressive Russian Bear seems much more plausible than just a few years ago.
Economic forecaster Gerald Celente (who normally just comments on the coming economic collapse) just commented on Fatima's Third Secret and the likely war with Russia in an interview at http://tradcatknight.blogspot.com/2015/10/tradcatknight-radio-gerald-celente.html
At another blog (http://www.fatimacrusader.com/cr82/cr82pg11.asp) they warn: "So, the war will break out, it will be a sudden war, it will be a blitzkrieg, and the true Church will be driven underground. But, at the beginning of this war, when the Pope realizes that keeping the Third Secret hidden no longer makes any sense, because the Russians have now made their move, he will reveal the missing text of the Third Secret."
As I wrote in End Times and 2019 - and in - Antichrist 2016-2019: Mystery Babylon, Barack Obama & the Islamic Caliphate we may soon see a third world war involving Russia - and the worst chastisement in history as described in the Third Secret of Fatima.
