2020 Nostradamus Page #4

---

It is some kind of

prediction that royal

or religious leaders of

London will bring it down,

and some of their own

kind brought down with it.

Well, that had already

happened several times.

And in an age that

just witnessed the

monarch Henry VIII,

there is no wonder as it

would be a common idea.

It is also said that

Nostradamus predicted

the 17th century

ruler Oliver Cromwell,

the man who would lead

the armies of parliament

in a civil war against the

royal houses of England

and bring about a

period of a republic.

This is the quatrain

the believers quote.

Remember that England had

suffered many monarchs

who were brutal,

and would again.

"More of a butcher

than a king in England,

"born of obscure rank will

gain empire through force.

"Coward without faith, without

law he will bleed the land:

"His time approaches

so close that I sigh."

(dramatic music)

(gunfire)

Firstly, Cromwell, for all

his faults, was no coward.

He was not without faith;

in fact, he was

extremely religious.

He was not of obscure

rank, because he was born

from landed gentry; so

basically, the description

of the man himself is

miles off the mark.

The next quatrain is claimed

to have been a prophecy

about the children of

Henry II of France:

"The seven children

left in hostage,

"the third will come

to slaughter his child:

"Because of his son two will

be pierced by the point,

"Genoa, Florence, he will

come to confuse them."

This one couldn't be more wrong.

Henry had 13

children, not seven,

and only one of them

died an unnatural death;

so, completely wrong there then.

(bleak music)

The problem with the

prophecies of Nostradamus

is that they are so

vague and undated

that they can be twisted

to mean almost

anything at any time.

They are like scattering the

pieces of a jigsaw puzzle

that never made a picture

in the first place.

You cannot put the

pieces together.

It is not a complex

puzzle; it never was.

Do not look for insights into

the future of mankind here,

for all you will find

are the occult ramblings

from a bygone age that made

little sense even then.

(celestial music)

There is no code, cipher,

algorithm or hidden secret.

Most of the interpretations

that are out there

are biased by the

individual creating them.

This can be for numerous

reasons:
religious,

conspiracy theorist,

doomsayers, end-of-the-worlders,

and even alien hunters.

Nostradamus was financially

supported by Catherine

de Medici, and he wrote

numerous verses for her.

Some of these predicted the

downfall of Queen Elizabeth I

of England, and even

this didn't come true.

She was one of the

longest-serving monarchs

England ever had.

In his own time,

Nostradamus became a legend

because he spoke of

disaster, death and disease,

and almost gave a

sense of fate to it.

(severe music)

For if it were known

that these things

were to come to pass,

then that implied a plan,

and a plan implies

a divine wisdom.

There would be hope

from these words.

The people across

Europe were suffering

from plague, fire and

war; they needed hope.

We cannot technically say

that he was a conman or hoaxer

because astrology and

soothsaying was popular

and highly regarded in its day,

and he may well have believed

in his own ramblings himself.

The real error, and

even deception, comes

after his death,

when his words were, and are,

used for various agendas.

The language Nostradamus used

was mainly an ancient form

of French, and with the

ambiguity he created

it makes it doubly difficult

to find any real truth.

He has been credited

with predicting

the great fire of London,

the end of the world,

the rise of Hitler, the

Iranian revolution of 1979,

various terrorist

attacks, World War II,

and even an invasion of aliens.

All of which were

only ever stated

many years after his death,

apart from the aliens.

Not once has a

prophecy of Nostradamus

been accurately predicted

before the event.

Nobody has ever said

"Nostradamus will say

"this will happen tomorrow,"

and be proven correct.

(ominous music)

Nostradamus has been

used, and not always

by psychologically

challenged individuals

posting blogs on the internet.

During World War II, the

Nazis spread the propaganda

that he had predicted

the rise of Hitler.

This is where that

particular lie arose.

The Allies retaliated

by saying Nostradamus

predicted the fall of Hitler.

The world is full of lies.

The real truth,

behind all of this,

is much more sinister.

While stupid humans

are running around

wondering what the

regurgitated ramblings

of a 16th century

occultist apothecary

are really all about,

there eyes are diverted

from what is really

happening in the world.

As we sit and watch the

bullshit we are fed,

we don't question the reality.

Nostradamus was a

man of his time.

The world of the occult

gave answers to questions

they were not

equipped to answer,

questions that science

today have answers for.

Medicine, religion,

the occult and science

were all one in those days.

Today we have divided them,

because science and medicine

have deducted religion and

the occult from the equation,

using hard, very

viable, evidence.

Religion and the occult

have never been able

to provide hard

evidence for anything,

as we can see with the so-called

prophecies of Nostradamus.

And yet, we still

want to believe.

And because we want to believe,

the people in power and

authority will allow us to

and will use that

energy against us.

Do not search the internet for

the truth about Nostradamus,

for what you will find are

the unscientific ramblings

of people with

their own agendas.

(hectic music)

There are almost no unbiased

references to his work.

It is like abstract painting;

it can be so obscure,

that the viewer can

see almost anything

he or she wishes to see.

We no longer have the excuse

of living in an

age of uncertainty,

because we know that the

future cannot be seen,

just as we can no

longer revisit the past.

If it were possible,

then science would

be able to prove it.

A ball drops because of gravity.

We can predict that with

mathematic equations,

and then prove it in

laboratory conditions.

Under no circumstances do any

of the Nostradamus predictions

meet modern

scientific standards.

(bleak music)

Neither do the claims of

religions, psychics, mediums

and a whole host of

other unverifiable ideas.

They exist only in the mind

until they can be proven

in the real, physical world.

The problem is that evolution

has given us a brain

that wishes to connect the dots,

to see a face in the

cloud where there is none.

And when we read an enigmatic

quatrain from Nostradamus

we endeavor to make sense

of it, to join the dots.

And we all do this

in our own era,

with our own knowledge

of the world,

and make sense of the words

from our own perspective.

It is therefore time to stop

believing in such things
