Nostradamus: The Man Who Saw Through Time by Lee McCann 1941. A biography and historical novel of Nostradamus, with many interpreted quatrains, written during World War II. The Oracles of Nostradamus by Charles A. The complete text of one of the best books about Nostradamus ever written. Did Nostradamus predict the WTC disaster?
By watching aspects such as climate changes, technological evolution, or inadequate governmental decisions, we might think that everything is against us, and humankind is on the verge of extinction.
Here are just a few of Nostradamus’ predictions, outlining the idea of a terrifying future, far from what we would have imagined.
From 2021, artificial intelligence will be equal or will even surpass human intelligence, which could lead to an apocalyptic scenario like those we see in movies.
“The Moon in the full of night over the high mountain,
The new sage with a lone brain sees it:
By his disciples invited to be immortal,
Eyes to the south. Hands in bosoms, bodies in the fire.”
Mechanization
Most previsions indicate that until 2023, the labor market will crash. The automated machines will replace the people in the work process, since they don’t demand higher salaries, and they don’t need breaks or other benefits.
When employers choose robots instead of humans, the whole social model will crush. Unemployment, social disorders, and misery are just a few of the consequences of mechanization.
Two allied countries will get into a classic and open military conflict, with naval fleet fully engaged against each other.
Unfortunately, this will only be the beginning because this conflict between these two seemingly “friendly” countries will degenerate into a global war, which will involve the most powerful countries in the world.
“In the city of God there will be a great thunder
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos while the fortress endures
The great leader will succumb
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning”.
Hundreds of closed hedge funds will go bankrupt, and the international exchange market will need to close in a short time – maybe even for a week, to stop the panic of selling shares, that will slowly envelop the stock markets.
Nostradamus also predicted the 2008 crisis, and in 2021, things are not great:
In 2021, it will start a new era of space tourism. Common people will fly into space, being able to admire spectacular views of the Earth.
The fragile relationship between the occidental leaders and the Kremlin official seems to recreate the propaganda of a new Cold War. The striking policies applied by Russia make us wonder if Vladimir Putin is the new Antichrist predicted by Nostradamus and other prophets.
“Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction;
It is like a sharpened razor.
You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.”
There is no doubt: the climate is constantly changing. Out of all the apocalyptic scenarios which might come true, the sea level rise is the most dramatic. Presently, 50% of the world population lives in coastal areas.
A prediction of a possible disaster can be seen by following the example of Newton City from Alaska, which, in less than five years, will be swallowed up by rising waters.
The small community of 400 people will not be the only one affected. The current estimations suggest that Venice will be uninhabitable by 2100, and Los Angeles and Amsterdam will be abandoned five years later.
“Peace and plenty for a long time the place will praise:
Throughout his realm the fleur-de-lis deserted:
Bodies dead by water, land one will bring there,
Vainly awaiting the good fortune to be buried there.”
The solar activity has been and still is a subject of interest for experts and not only. Because the sun will reach, in 2021, the peak of an 11-years cycle, known as the maximum solar, different theoreticians rushed to speculate in this regard.
It is a fact that when a maximum solar occurs, much more intense solar explosions take place than the previous ones, but this does not translate into total chaos or natural catastrophe.
Solar eruptions don’t just happen from yesterday but occur at regular intervals, and the event taking place in 2021 could mostly announce satellite communication interruptions.
“Condom and Auch and around Mirande,
I see fire from the sky which encompasses them.
Sun and Mars conjoined in Leo, then at Marmande,
lightning, great hail, a wall falls into the Garonne.”
A part of Nostradamus’s prophecies, the famous French doctor and alchemist from the 16th century, have come true.
Nostradamus predicted the beginning of the Second World War, Hitler’s ascension, the fall of communism, President J. F. Kennedy’s assassination, India’s independence and the occurrence of Israel State on the world map, events confirmed by the passing of time, but also occurrences that go further in time.

Nostradamus is certainly one of the most illustrious personalities in history. This notoriety is due to his famous prophecies and predictions.
Beyond astrology, Nostradamus was a talented doctor, but also a controversial character, specialized in occultism.
Everyone has heard of Nostradamus. He was a medieval character, renowned for his capacity to predict, through scientific methods, the events that will happen in the distant future.
Nostradamus predictions, written around 500 years ago, are still going around the world today, and the French man is one of the most important figures of occult art.
Besides astrology and his predictions regarding the future, Nostradamus had an adventurous love life, marked by long journeys, extrasensory experiences, the run from Inquisition, but also by an exceptional, yet unjustly less-mentioned medical career.
Nostradamus aroused admiration, but also envy. Moreover, he was a controversial character. Nostradamus confessed that his predictions have a scientific fundament.
He claimed that he managed to predict the future by calculating the position of the stars and planets towards the earth and other astral bodies.
Nostradamus even predicted his death: ‘Next to the bench and bed, I will be found dead’.
After he announced, one evening, that he will not survive the night, he died of a gout episode and was found dead the following morning, next to his worktable.

Did Nostradamus predict the WTC disaster?
by John Bruno Hare [2001]
You be the judge....
During Nostradamus' lifetime the Black Death (today known as the bubonic plague)wiped out over a quarter of Europe. It is no wonder that a sense of apocalyptic terrorfills Nostradamus' quatrains.
Nostradamus can indisputably be said to have been ahead of his time,at least in terms of medical practice. His treatment of the Black Deathinvolved removal of the infected corpses, fresh air and unpolluted water for the healthy,a herbal preparation rich in Vitamin C, and (in contravention of contemporary medical practise)not bleeding his patients.
Nostradamus was successful in lessening the impact of the Black Deathin the capital of Provence, Aix. The grateful citizens gave him a stipend for life.
Nostradamus began to write his prophetic verses in the city of Salon, in 1554.They are divided into ten sections called Centuries(which refers to the number of verses in each section, not to a unit of 100 years).The Centuries were published in 1555 and 1558, and have been in print continuously ever since.
Nostradamus had the visions which he later recorded in verse while staringinto water or flame late at night, sometimes aided by herbal stimulants,while sitting on a brass tripod. The resulting quatrains (four line verses)are oblique and elliptical, and use puns, anagrams and allegorical imagery.Most of the quatrains are open to multiple interpretations,and some make no sense whatsoever.Some of them are chilling, literal descriptions of events,giving specific or near-specific names, geographic locations, astrological configurations,and sometimes actual dates.It is this quality of both vagueness and specificity which allows each newgeneration to reinterpret Nostradamus.
Nostradamus is said to have predicted his own death. When his assistantwished him goodnight on July 1, 1566, Nostradamus reputedly pronounced,'You will not find me alive at sunrise.'He was found dead on July 2, 1566.
Nostradamus was interred standing upright in the Church of the Cordeliers of Salon.However, his story does not end there; he was disinterred twice,once on purpose and once maliciously.
In 1700, his body was moved by the city to a more prominent crypt.When a necklace was found on his skeleton bearing the date '1700',his body was hurriedly reinterred.
During the French Revolution, in 1791, some drunken soldiers broke into his tomb.The mayor quickly placated the mob by describing how Nostradamushad predicted the revolution, and they replaced the bones in the crypt.
However, Nostradamus had the last laugh.In Century 9, Quatrain 7, he had written:
The man who opens the tomb when it is found
And who does not close it immediately,
Evil will come to him
That no one will be able to prove.
Reputedly, the soldiers who desecrated his tomb for the final timewere ambushed on their way back to base and killed to the last man.
