email hoax - Nostradamus- WTC

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Just to let anyone know that doesn't, there is a Nostradamus hoax by email. It appears tailor written to fit this weeks tragedies, and is continually being added to. It claims this is the beginning of WW 3. While this tragedy may in fact lead to world wide military action, the email is not an actual quatrain of Nostradamus'. Don't fall for it.

Yup! Got it...deleted it! But then, I've deleted all the "inspirational" emails about the WTC since Tuesday!

Not having seen this e-mail, I can't comment on it. However there is a quatrain which is interpreted as dealing with WWIII and yes I have read it in a book of Nostradamus' predictions.

He mentions the end of the 20th century, the New City being destroyed (New York?),a guy in a blue turban, and the middle east. It has been a few years since I read it, but those things stick in my mind. His predictions make fascinating reading, especially the ones about Hister (Hitler)and of course his predictions for our time.

Heavens to Betzy! At a time like this why is anyone even thinking about the ravings of old Nostrilsdamus? Why not consult something with at least a shred of proven creditability, chicken entrails for example?

John,I find snail slime trails about as accurate, not nearly as messy.

Yes, but Joe, you get to eat the chicken afterwards. :)

Ask the French, snail are also good to eat; just not as many calories! :>)

If you got his 'prediction' off the net and not out of one of his books, most versions are a tad bit off. Not that it matters, he wrote things so vague it makes no difference. I stay about as far from the new age life force trip as I can anyway. I would be interested in a English translation of what he origionaly said, just for giggles.

Uriah- The book I read had the original language, then the translation directly beneath it. So I guess it would be fairly easy for someone to translate from the original and see if they came up with the same thing. I got it from the public library so if I got it, anyone else can also. Happy reading, "just for giggles" as you say.

I belive the rantings of Nostradamus as mush as I belive Madam Cleo the telephone Physcic!

Oh, you people are soooo funny I am still chuckling about the chicken entails! And Miss Cleo...lol! Thank you for a little humor in this difficult time! God bless America!

Just want to clarify...I don't follow / believe in his "prophesies". But, some people who tend to believe these type of things (like my Mom and aunt) were just being fed more of what they seem to want to believe. Like people need more tension these days...sheesh! Glad to see some chuckles over it. We need more. : )

Whatch meeen, y'doan trust Madame Cleeeo? Doan ya know she got da whole spirit world at ha fingatips? Listen, babies, I can hear da tarot callin at ya now - they sayin "Quit ya jobs in da big cities and come on down to Jamaica where da tallest buildin' is ma nephew Jake's coconut milk stand." MmmmHmmmm.

-- Didn' do it (notme@noway.com), September 14, 2001.

While doing a little reseach on Nostradamus I ran into some other 'prophets' as well. Along with Edgar Cayne, they have a real interesting one out now named Sollog. He seems to have the L. Ron Hubbard 'lets make our own new religion' thing. Funny, I never heard of Sollog before.

Among other things, he claims Miami and Corpi Christi will be wiped out by hurricanes this year. Also claims to predicted the WTC deal about 4 years ago.

All I can think about is the Bible talking about all the false prophets in the last days. A true prophet of God is correct 100 percent of the time, no more, no less. What is really funny, he claims that ALL Jews and Xians (I HATE that term, its CHRISTIANS) were wrong, he has a better way. Anybody else ever heard about him?

You can scoff if you wish, but I was shocked to go read back through my spiritual journal, and find what I wrote in there on Monday evening. I was just meditating, and listening to the Holy Spirit, and He told me, "Tomorrow will be a day of tragedy, a day to remember." I didnt want to believe it, but I wrote the last part down, and forgot about it. On Wednesday, I was reading back through, and saw what I wrote down, and was shocked to remember the rest of what He told me. Go ahead and scoff. But God does talk to His people.
