Ominatio (o-mi-na’-ti-o): A prophecy of evil.
Oh Korea of the North! Hear me, for I am the Prophet Pence!
Your meddling with atoms can only lead to infinite woe. Your bold, yet reckless, experiments with world-crossing rockets will cause great anger and prompt many long-winded diatribes from your many enemies. So, I say unto you, put your Won into feeding your people or I prophesy an angry wind will blow across your Korea of the North and turn your shining missiles into giant cardboard toys.
Hear me that ye may forewarned! I am the Prophet Pence and I can see into the future.
