Nostradamus, Hindsight and Foresight–2
Hitler and Goering towards the end of the Second World War. Nazi sympathizers and authors were aware of Nostradamus' cloudy "Hister" prophecies a decade before he came to power in 1933. Could clearer written prophecies have helped Hitler win the war?
Friends,
Here is the second interchange I had with Chris about a fundamental complaint that perhaps every Nostradamus fan or scholar has struggled with at some time or other down through the centuries when trying to gain some foresight into the future from Nostradamus’ foggy verses
THE SECOND INTERCHANGE
CHRIS
I just get so frustrated with the prophecies of Nostradamus sometimes.
HOGUE
I understand, Chris. Your frustration is mine.
CHRIS
Sometimes I think they are a complete waste, and then other times I think there really is something there.
HOGUE
Exactly my feeling too.
CHRIS
If Nostradamus was legitimately trying to warn us from going down the wrong path, he sure as hell made it really hard to figure out what he meant.
HOGUE
For the good people as well as the evil. Remember, evil people to propagate a future they want to make happen have used Nostradamus
People in the Nazi movement noticed the anagram Hister being a code for Hitler even in the 1920s. What if Nostradamus had been clearer and gave Hitler’s people insight into how to win World War II? Who would be responsible if more clarity gave Hitler the keys to victory and the means to annihilate Nostradamus’ own people in the holocaust? Nostradamus would be responsible.
He had a heavy burden and a detailed collection of his writings and reflections contained in my biography (See Nostradamus predictions) point to years of tortured soul searching about whether he dare share his visions with the world. He finally chose the device of charlatans to hide real prophecy.
CHRIS
It doesn’t help us if we can only see [the future] in hindsight, and looking back in hindsight we may use our prophetic bias to fit it in our particular worldview.
Many people have used Nostradamus’ prophecies with prophetic foresight. I have done it many times. I used Nostradamus’ prophecies to forewarn a national US audience in 1996 on Fox Network’s Prophecies of the Millennium about a second terrorist attack that this time could bring down the twin towers of New York. I even documented the time window for the event happening any time from 1999 but no later than 2001 in my 1997 book, Nostradamus: the Complete Prophecies.
Beyond interpreting Nostradamus, on Hannity and Colmes (Fox News Network, December 31, 1999), I warned that New Orleans would be destroyed in the first super hurricane event sometime in the first five hurricane seasons of the 21st century.
What was Fox Network’s response to these two warnings after the towers fell to terrorists on September 11, 2001 and later after Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans in 2005, the fifth hurricane season of the new century?
They black listed me.
What was my crime?
Not talking about the future in the politically correct and comfy state of hindsight.
Hindsight is safe. Foresight is controversial, because it asks us to change the way we are behaving. People are programmed to be fearful of change and not celebrate the adventure inherent in the unknown. When we seek to change the future today, we are like explorers, stepping out on a new journey, a new frontier. The new frontiers before us today are not for the comfort seekers, the politically or religiously correct, or the faint of soul. The media serves the angels of our more mollycoddled and programmed nature.
Most people don’t know, because of the press’s popular bias against Nostradamus, that many scholars down through history have accurately forecast future events before they happened. I’ve done it, so did Steward Robb, Lemesurier Sr., Von Loog, Andre Lamont, and many others.
We must be aware of the built in bias put into us by our blinders-loving society and their media not to recognize this fact and then render prophecy useless in hindsight.
If we actually were allowed to heed the warnings of prophecy, we would change the world today and make a golden future.
This is what this blog page and my work in prophecy is all about.

One Response “Nostradamus, Hindsight and Foresight–2”
"In the long run we need a far deeper understanding and pruning of the problem. Government will always fail as long as its root to the cunning, political mind remains uncut.
For real democracy to flower, you first need a real humanity." - 
I wrote a song called 6.66 Billion before the world population hit 6.66 billion in 2008. I wrote it in response to greed and materialism in the world. Since then the economy has crashed.
For whatever reason, today in 2010 I decided to read about Nostradmus and came across your webpage.
Point is, if you have some vision of the future, and it’s shitty, it’s controversial because people like good news rather than bad news. I’m sure that psychics who put a positive spin on the future make more money than those that say, “sorry, kinda sucks to be you.” It’s difficult to prove truth in a prediction. However, if the future looks bright people are more likely to believe a prediction.
I’m no Nostradamus. I can only imagine how awful he might have felt having a bad vision about the future. I’m sure he was much more eager to tell people about the good visions compared to the bad ones, because people like to believe the good rather than the bad, regardless of any possible truth in either.
HOGUE:
Be advised everyone that I will respond to Chris’ three-part letter in a blog posted on 2/21/10 called “A Second American Revolution Foreseen–2″.
