The writings of Nostradamus?
Was his prediction of 9/11 just a coincidence?:
Garden of the world near to the new city,
In the road of hollow mountains,
It will be seized and run into the tank,
Forced to drink water poisoned with sulphur.
And now I ask: Do you believe the writings of Nostradamus? Or do you believe it's just a big hoax?

Every major event in world history is referred to Nostradamus' quatrains, to the Biblical prophecies, to the Mayan calendar, etc etc. Nothing is simpler than reading today's headlines into ancient, vaguely worded auguries. It's exactly the same sort of process that finds the Virgin Mary in tortillas and grease spots.

It's called hindsight observation. His writing were ramblings and could be attached to a million things of the light. That could have been any city in WWII
And..New York wasn't new. It just in the name along with a thousand other cities.

no one has been able to use his prediction to prevent of for-see anything. When something happens, they put a meaning to his writings. I don't really believe it's prophesy so much as conjecture.
