2020 Nostradamus Page #4

and books would agree.

The truth is they don't;

they differ wildly,

and they do so because everybody

has a different ax to grind.

There are some major events

that are agreed upon, though:

the birth of Hitler,

the rise of Napoleon,

the French Revolution,

the world wars,

and even the nuclear destruction

of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

- [Voiceover] The day

of doom is coming!

Your blood will turn white!

Your face will turn green!

Your eyeballs will pop ...

with pressure!

Because our doomsday

show is the living end!

- [Narrator] The problem

is when the academics

started to get

involved in the 1980s,

they discovered that

none of the actual

documentary evidence backed

up any of these claims.

They had, in fact, been

taken from commentaries

on Nostradamus by other people

and not the actual words

of the man himself.

(solemn music)

Even the prediction of

the death of Henry II,

an event widely claimed

to have been predicted

by Nostradamus was

in fact not true;

It didn't appear in

print until 55 years

after the king's death.

The academics discovered

that the English translations

were so bad that

they were worthless.

(mysterious music)

They did not take into

account 16th century French,

and twisted the words to

fit contemporary events.

None of the English translations

were based on the

original source material.

It was, in fact,

a complete mess.

The question now is

this:
if everything

that has been claimed

for Nostradamus so far

has been hogwash,

then could it be

that everybody is looking

in the wrong direction,

that there are predictions

about our relatively near future

that he made that

will come true?

(optimistic music)

Let's have a look at some

of the current theories

and interpretations.

One of the really big things

that grabs the attention

of the world right

now is Russia.

It is stated that Nostradamus

wrote a lot about Russia,

that Russia was even good,

and that events in Russia

will one day affect

the entire globe.

Russia, he said, will be

weak in the new century

compared with the West.

Well, in the 20th century

this turned out to be true.

Russia will have a

choice, to join the West

or to stick to its ideology.

By 2018, it is claimed,

Nostradamus said

that Russia will unite

under "his" rule,

whoever "he" is.

There will be a third world

war from 2018 to 2020,

and Russia will capture Europe.

(gunfire)

China will capture the whole

of Asia, apart from India.

By 2025, Russia will

be completely renewed

and then the messiah will rise,

bringing together the

religions of the world.

Well, that's what they say.

It's not too far off,

so we should know soon.
