OK, just to be clear, this is not to Alarm, proselytize, disempower.
Just naming Nostradamus sets off a lynch mob response from usually rational folk, however having studied the subject, well it's adherents as commentators, are well below par, misrepresentation and misapplication, and fanciful outcomes are all presented as fact, so this does not go well for rational folk, who can clearly see the twaddle being presented, but being a good skeptic, I can take both sides, defend or decry, but to do that I need a cogent argument, so I might present something I am working on at present, defending the predictive ability of Nostradamus, and in his own words, so getting acquainted with 16th century idiom and filtered through an inquisition, oh he does not do Empires, no Russia No China No USA, unless they exceed their boundaries in warlike enterprise:
So some predictions and some post-dictions
39.[the disclaimer] By this discourse, Sire, I present these predictions almost with confusion, especially as to when they will take place. Furthermore, the chronology of time which follows conforms very little, if at all, with that which has already been set forth.
25. In the spring there will be omens, and thereafter extreme changes, reversals of realms and mighty earthquakes.
25a These will be accompanied by the procreation of the new Babylon, miserable daughter enlarged by the abomination of the first holocaust [1905-1917].
It will last for only seventy-three years and seven months.
27. The countries, towns, cities, realms and provinces which will have abandoned their old customs to gain liberty, but which will in fact have enthralled themselves even more,
will secretly have wearied of their liberty. Faith lost in their perfect religion,[communism] they will begin to strike to the left, only to return to the right. Holiness,
for a long time overcome, will be replaced in accordance with the earliest writings.
28a Temples will be set up again as in ancient times, and the priest will be restored to his original position and he will begin his whoredoms and luxury, and will commit a thousand crimes.
26a And the kingdom of the Furious One, who counterfeits the sage, will be united.
54.[from 73 years and 7 months] hearing the lament of the people of his principal title, will raise a very mighty army and, defying the tradition of his predecessors,
37. What great oppression will then fall upon the Princes and Governors of Kingdoms, especially those which will be maritime and Eastern, whose tongues will be intermingled with all others: the tongue of the Latins, and of the Arabs, via the Phoenicians. And all these Eastern Kings will be chased, overthrown and exterminated, but not altogether, by means of the forces of the Kings of the North.
47a For some time thereafter the blood of the Innocent will be shed profusely by the recently elevated guilty ones.
50. During this astrological supputation, harmonised with the Holy Scriptures, the persecution of the Ecclesiastical folk will have its origin in the power of the Kings of "Aquilon" [the North], united with the Easterners. This persecution will last for eleven years, or somewhat less, for then the chief King of "Aquilon" will fall.
36. For hereupon the principal Eastern chief will be vanquished by the Northerners and Westerners, and most of his people, stirred up, will be put to death, overwhelmed or scattered. His children, offspring of many women, will be imprisoned. Then will be accomplished the prophecy of the Royal Prophet, Let him hear the groaning of the captives, that he might deliver the children of those doomed to die.
32. The supporting common people will rise up and chase out the adherents of the legislators.
