Did Nostradamus Predict The Rise and Fall of Communism in Russia?

[PeanutCoins]

After this the sterile Dame, of greater power than the second (the third Reich?), shall be received by two nations, by the first made obstinate by him who had power over all, by the second, and third, that shall extend his forces towards; the circuit of the east of Europe; [arrived] there his standards will stop and succumb, but by sea he will run on to Trinacria and the Adriatic with his mirmidons.

The Germans will succumb wholly and the Barbaric sect will be disquieted and driven back by the whole of the Latin race.

Then shall begin the grand Empire of Antichrist in the Atila and Xerxes, [who is] to descend with innumerable multitudes, so that the coming of the Holy Spirit, issuing from the 48th degree, shall make a transmigration, chasing away the abomination of Antichrist, that made war upon the royal person of the great vicar of Jesus Christ, and against His Church, and reign per tempus, et in occasione temporis [for a time, and to the end of time].

This will be preceded by an eclipse of the sun, more obscure and tenebrose than has ever been since the creation of the world, up to the death and passion of Jesus Christ, and from thence till now. There will be in the month of October a grand revolution made, such that one would think that the librating body of the earth had lost its natural movement in the abyss of perpetual darkness.

There will be seen precursive signs in the spring-time, and after extreme changes ensuing, reversal of kingdoms, and great earthquakes. All this accompanied with the procreations of the New Babylon , a miserable prostitute big with the abomination of the first holocaust . It will only continue for seventy-three years seven months. 1917-1991.

The countries, towns, cities, and provinces that had forsaken their old customs to free themselves, enthralling themselves more deeply, shall become secretly weary of their liberty, and, true religion lost, shall commence by striking off to the left, to return more than ever to the right.(I think this applies more to communist Germany than Russia)

Oracles of Nostradamus: Epistle to Henry II

In my opinion Nostradamus was a clever liar. A scammer. He didn't predict anything.
A crazy guy with several problems ... you should see some documents about him.

[grue]

Two words: confirmation bias

[durrrr]

i dont think that nostradamus could predict most of the things they think he did. most of it is just some poems and things he wrote that could mean a big variaty of things and he didnt predict when anything happen just random events in history somehow luckily

[bryant.coleman]

Not diverting from the original thread, but just want to point out that Nostradamus made a lot of false predictions as well. For every one prediction which he got right, he had two which went bad.

[ninjenten]

problem with nostradamus it was always an after thought.

Nostradamus is confirmed scammer

that's for sure.


You must remember - that all his "predictions" are what PEOPLE started to believe those means!
Nostradamus wasn't really easy to understand...

That was why he is a scammer. He was clever enough to make those fools believe! But he suffered a lot before he was "well known"...

His history isn't a history of a hero - rather a thief, liar and a scam.

revisionists, man. after shit happens, it seems like people fashion the evidence to fit a narrative about nostradamus. i only hear of his predictions after an event occurs.. wtf is with that?

Nostradamus is confirmed scammer

lol... might be. Here are some of his failed predictions:

1. Said Arabs in Tunis, Fez and Bougie would be captured by Morroco in 1607. It didn't happen.
2. Predicted ban on astology to occur in 1607.  It didn't happen.
3. Predicted a cleric election in 1609.  There is no record of this having ever happened.
4. Predicted "king of terror" for 7th month of 1999.  Nothing happened.
