WTC Crash Predicted?

[Isolde]

In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror...
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city...

In the city of York there will be a great collapse, 2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb third big war will begin when the big city is burning

- NOSTRADAMUS

He said this will be bigger than the previous two. 2001 is the first year of the new century and this is the 9th month. New York is located at the 41st degree Latitude.


*shivers*

I dont know how many of you have heard of Nostradamus or how many believe in the ablity to predict but I got this from a friend of mine. And it sent shivers along my spine when I read it.

Frankly, it scares the hell out of me. It is just too too weird and too coincidental.

I know how you feel Isolde.

All too damn well. Considering his other accurate Predictions..

Prophecy is fake

Claim: A 1554 Nostradamus prediction said World War III would begin with the fall of "two brothers," a reference to the destroyed World Trade Center towers.
Status: False.

The French physician and astrologer Nostradamus (1503-1566) penned numerous quatrains populated by obscure imagery that the credulous have ever after attempted to fit to the events of their times. These predictions can often ring somewhat true in that the images employed are so general they can be found in almost every event of import, but by the same token, the prophesies are never a dead-on fit because the wordings are far too general. Not that this stops anyone from believing in them; our society's need for mysticism runs far too deep to ever allow for that.

Those looking for the certainty of a Nostradamus prophesy come true have been known to sledge hammer the results to force a fit by inventing fanciful translations from the original French, bend over backwards to assert one named term is really another, and (as in this case) outright fabricate part or all of the prediction.

Nostradamus did not write the quatrain now being attributed to him. (One wonders how a guy who died in 1566 could have written an item identified as being penned in 1654 anyway.) It originated with a student at Brock University in Canada in the 1990s, appearing on a web page essay on Nostradamus. That particular quatrain was offered by the page's author, Neil Marshall, as a fabricated example to illustrate how easily an important-sounding prophecy can be crafted through the use of abstract imagery. He pointed out how the terms he used were so deliberately vague they could be interpreted to fit any number of cataclysmic events.

It appears someone mistook Marshall's illustrative example for an actual Nostradamus prophecy and, not content to let well enough alone, added "The third big war will begin when the big city is burning." A fabrication was thus further fabricated.

But that wasn't the end of it. More fakery was piled on in later versions that now included all of the text quoted in the Example section above but now concluded with:

"on the 11th day of the 9 month that...two metal birds would crash into two tall statues...in the new city... and the world will end soon after"

Similarly, another enhanced version incorporates the Example text into a more detailed prophecy:

And Nostradamus predicted this (who knows how long ago):
"In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror...
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city..."
"In the city of york there will be a great collapse,
2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos
while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb
third big war will begin when the big city is burning"

Needless to say, these versions are as fake as the first was.

"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" - Nostradamus

"It has been foreseen that exactly three hundred and fifty years into the future, silver phoenixs shall strike down the twin brothers of oppression that carried the king's nation, which shall bring upon the apocalypse." - Nostradamus (September 11th, 1651)

How could you be so stupid

OK, as I see it.....there is only one man who knows how the earth will end and when, and his name is not Nostradamus. His name is GOD.

Basia If you read a Bio on Nostradamus you will find out he died in 1566. no way he wrote that. Anothe fake written up and floating on the net.

Don't you ever wonder how it is that these Nostradomas predictions only turn up *AFTER* an event has occured. Hmmm. If this really was predicted in his writings why didn't anyone mention it earlier? Nostradam's predictions are very well known.

Seems like every time there's a major disaster the Nostradomas freaks come out of the woodwork.

And they show up like clockwork, too. All fake. It's always fun to see who falls for this stuff, though.

Ancient prophecy says

In the year of one, a vixen with the moniker Angelina Jolie, will fall unencumbered prey to one who is known in small circles as a mariner troubadour with double X’s.

So I got that goin’ for me……… which is nice.
