Who was Nostradamus what were his predictions is there any truth in them?

No not really, it's kind of like luck of the draw after all haha but also it's easy to predict something if you study current events. Like you look at it and you can see either two things can happen...therefore one must happen.....He was a smart man given but no one can predict the future correctly.

He was a loon-bag who wrote such vague predictions that there's always some way to interpret one or more of them as predicting something correctly, but take, for example, one that is said to predict JFK's assassination. If JFK had in fact survived the assassination attempt, somebody would come up with an interpretation of the same prediction that means "JFK will survive."

I did enjoy reading some modern loon-bag's explication of some Nostradamus poems that refer to "the people whose holy day is Thursday." This obviously means "not the Muslims [Friday], not the Jews [Saturday], and not the Christians [Sunday], but some other future religion." The wacko interpreter cleverly came up with the idea that he meant the USA (which of course didn't exist yet), because we have a major holiday on Thursday (Thanksgiving Day). Nice try.

Of course there's no truth to these things. It's just believer morons who will believe ANYTHING as long as it's the stupidest possible thing they can think of.

Nostradamus was some religious nut back in very late Middle Ages - Shakespeare's time. Back then people lacked entertainment - no tv or radio.... so they had to spend what little spare time they had thinking about something - and Nostradamus gave them lots of vague grist for the mill.
