The Prophecy of Lord Macaulay

While reading an astrology article I came across the words "annual profections". The meaning of 'profection' was not in a dictionary. I took out my Dictionary of Astrology by Dal Lee¹. Its meaning was not in that book also. I found its meaning "advancement" through the internet.

While glancing through Lee's book, I came across an article that Dal Lee found in some literature on economics, to wit: "The Prophecy of Lord Macaulay". Over the past thirty years Dal Lee published and republished it at regular intervals in what he calls our magazines, Astrology Guide, Your Personal Astrology Magazine and the Astrology Yearbook.²

Baron Thomas Babington Macaulay was born on October 25, 1800, in Leicestershire, England. He died on December 28, 1859. He was an English Whig politician, essayist, poet, economist and historian, best known for his History of England, 5 volumes.

His "prophecy" was brought to the attention of Congress on July 2, 1935 by Hon. Charles R. Eckert, a member of the House of Representatives from Pennsylvania. Here is the main portion of what Congressman Eckert reported to his colleagues:

In 1857 Lord Macaulay wrote a letter to H.S. Randall, biographer of Jefferson--a letter which President Garfield said startled him "like an alarm bell at night" which reads in part as follows:

"I have been convinced that institutions purely democratic must sooner or later destroy liberty or civilization or both. You may think your country enjoys an exemption from these evils. I will frankly own to you that I am of a different opinion. Your fate I believed to be settled, though it is deferred by a physical cause. As long as you have a boundless extent of fertile and unoccupied land, your laboring population will be far more at ease than the laboring populations of the Old World, and while that is the case the Jefferson politics may continue to exist without any fatal calamity. But the time will come when the wages will be as low and fluctuate as much with you as with us. You will have your Manchesters and your Birminghams and in these Manchesters and Birminghams hundreds of thousands of artisans will assuredly be some time out of work. Then your institutions will be brought to the test.

"I have seen England three or four times through such critical seasons as I have described; through such seasons the United States will have to pass in the course of the next century, if not of this. How will you pass through them? I heartily wish you a good deliverance. But my wishes and my reason are at war and I cannot help foreboding the worst.

"I seriously apprehend, that you will, in some season of adversity, as I have described, do things that will prevent prosperity from returning. There will be, I fear, spoiliation. The spoiliation will increase the distress. The distress will produce fresh spoiliation. There is nothing to stop you. Your constitution is all sail and no anchor.

"As I said before, when a society has entered this downward progress, either liberty or civilization must perish. Either some Caesar or Napoleon will seize the reigns of government with a strong hand or your republic will be as fearlessly plundered and laid waste by the barbarians in the twentieth century, as the Roman Empire was in the fifth, with the difference that the Huns and Vandals, who ravaged the Roman Empire, came from without, and that your Huns and Vandals will have been engendered within your own country by your own institutions."

Macaulay was judging from the past situations. Today, while the majority of humanity are still selfish, yet when the world economic situation becomes unbearable, a new system of economics, will be presented to the governments of the world, in which system, the big banks will have no influence. Such an economic system today exists, but it is waiting for the right time for it to be presented and implemented.³ The young people, especially, will realize that in order to survive, we must act as a loving family of...One Humanity. We will be willing to share the resources (which includes money) of the Earth, equitably. There will be no 1% and 99%. We will be under the guidance of the spiritual Hierarchy of our planet, working with the Laws of the Cosmic. As foretold by Hindu and Zoroastrian Sages, we are destined to enter the Golden Age of the Age of Aquarius.⁴
