A QUATRAIN BY 'HOAX-TRADAMUS' (19 December 2000)
Dear friends,
Over the last few days I have received hundreds of emails from around the
world asking me about the authenticity of this amazing quatrain
purportedly attributed to Nostradamus:
***********
In 1555, Nostradamus wrote:
"Come the millennium, month 12,
In the home of greatest power,
The village idiot will come forth
To be acclaimed the leader."
***********
What a wonderful prophecy!
Too bad it is a bald-faced hoax.
Can any of you see why? Or better, can any of you see which important
element is missing in this quotation?
Notice that this four-line prophecy attributed to Nostradamus does not
contain his Century and Quatrain indexing numbers?
I believe Nostradamus knew people would try to write prophecies under his
name. That is why he indexed all of his quatrains in his original editions
of "Les Propheties" --his ambitious 941 quatrain history of the future. If
you have an authentically quoted prophecy's indexing number you can find
it in its original 16th century French. . You can then compare the
translation in question against the original French text for its accuracy
and authenticity.
Rest assured. This is not a prophecy from Nostradamus. Only a hoaxer
writing for some yellow rag like the National Perspirer, would avoid such
scrutiny by leaving out the index number.
By the way, I have cross referenced every application of the over 36,000
words Nostradamus used in his prophetic works and none of them combine to
make this prophecy. This quatrain should be thrown in the same garbage
heap of non-indexed hoaxes like the famous "bloody glove of O. J."
quatrain. (Chuckle...)

PS--My assessment on the presidency is coming soon. Since it appears to me
that the U.S. Supreme Court's president-elect is not really going to run
the country, I have waited a little longer to see who will be his puppet
masters.
