-Caveat Lector- I'll quote the quatrain and then the interpretation. The interpretation is given by a person in a trance state (P), being asked questions by (B). It's in the chapter called "The Near Future." The info was gathered in 1989 and the book was published in '92. Keep that in mind. The great credit of gold and abundance of silver will cause honor to be blinded by lust; the offense of the adulterer will become known, which will occur to his great dishonor. P: This refers to something in our present or near future. Adultery seems to be Nostradamus' term for "bad doing," not necessarily of a sexual or promiscuous nature, or even involving any kind of sexual liaison. This seems to refer to a government figure. My first impression was the President of the United States being caught doing something unethical. Of course, you know the international monetary system being based on gold and silver, is referring to our present time. But it will be even more so in the future whe we have these economic breakdowns that are being forecast by others besides Nostradamus. These monetray breakdowns will result in gold and silver being the only real currency that is accepted worldwide. It will not be paper, and certainly not copper, lead, nickel, zinc, or other metals. For some reason it seems, the United States kept it balanced, as long as the United States was considered and honorable power. But when this President is caught, it seemed to throw this monetary system into some kind of mess. D: That seems to agree with "blinded by lust." P: The symbolism here is that he is an adulterer and of course, you could consider greed lust. D: Can you see in the mirror which President it is? P: Well, it's a male. I see George Bush and I think I'm saying that because he's president now. Nostradamus says this will occur in our near future, while we are alive. D: So it could possibly be a president you don't recognize yet? P; Yes, but he looks a lot like George Bush. He's not a young man like Dan Quayle. He will be a distinguished statesman. One that the world admired and respected. It will be a big shock. D: Do you know how he is going to do this? P: It seems to involve something to do with space. This president so loved by the world, actually honored and respected, seems to be preparing to ... (she frowned) to wage war from space somehow. D: To wage war from space? P: Yes. The money system is somehow based on the stability of the United States of America. I don't know how this works since we're certainly not the only government on the planet. But it seems that at this time we are the most respected, most balanced, and seem to have the situation in control somehow. The top person of what is considered to be the secure government turns out to be the opposite of what he was believed to be. This causes our own country to go into a real panic and the rest of the world follows suit. It's as if all confidence is lost. There's no longer a paternal-type figure they can turn to for guidance and truth. It seems to create quite a mess, because of the horrendous nature his true self turned out to be. D: Do you mean he is secretly planning to wage war from space? P: Well, he will have the cooperation of the military. D: Does Nostradamus show you why this man wants to wage war? P: I must say that if this scenario takes place -- and it is only a probability -- I believe he is affected by that group of men we looked upon who have only evil intent and focus. It seems they can affect even those who aren't attracted, shall we say, to their way. (She undoubtedly was referring to the secret Cabal.) D: You think they would be able to influence him? P: It seems this is a possible scenario, yes. end quote From: "Conversations with Nostradamus" by Dolores Cannon, Volume 3, Ozark Mountain Publishers, 1992. pp 133-134, Quatrain: Century VIII - 14.
