The following is an outline of the late 20th-century events prophesied
   by the 16th-century French psychic known as Michel Nostradamus.
   Nostradamus has predicted in great detail such events as the French
   Revevolution, World War I, Hitler's Rise and Fall, and even the Kennedy
   Assassinations.  Nearly two-thirds of all his predictions have come
   true.  If two-thirds of this comes true, we're in for some trouble!  HBO
   produced a movie called "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow," which documents the
   life and predictions of Nostradamus.  These prophecies are based on and
   adapted from the book, NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTS THE END OF THE WORLD by Rene
   Noorbergen, who wrote several books on psychics.

   I have drawn on a world map with colored markers all of the invasions,
   nuke strikes, etc., with the number of each event placed with the
   respective arrows and circles on the map.  Print this up and save it,
   then compare Nostradamus's predictions to actual world events.  You may
   be surprised!

   THE PROPHECIES OF NOSTRADAMUS, summarized by Mike Brown 4/86 and 8/86
   From "Nostradamus Predicts the End of the World," Copyright (c) 1981
   by Rene Noorbergen.  Note: These are not necessarily in exact order.

   ------------------------------------------------------------------------

   (1)    Communism in Russia will decline, beginning in the Ukraine as a
          result of trade differences with the West.  This will occur
          around Easter.

   (2)    The United States and Russia will become better friends.

   (3)    A great power will unify the Far East with negotiation and
          pressure.

   (4)    This power will disrupt peace attempts, and the Middle and Far
          Easterners will attempt to settle their differences with force.

   (5)    A meteor will strike the center of the Indian Ocean, causing
          tidal waves that will heavily damage the surrounding lands.

   (6)    A powerful dictator will dominate the Middle East.  He will
          tyrranize Syria, Iraq, and Jordan.  [Maybe Khomeini?]

   (7)    On August 2nd, 1987 he will attack Iran, Turkey, and Egypt with
          an army of nearly a million men.  [This date was reached by
          astronomy; the astronomical event only occurs on that day.]

   (8)    Arab forces in Tunisia and Algeria and north-Moroccan guerillas
          will invade Morocco's pro-Western monarchy and overthrow its
          king.

   (9)    Israel will be defeated by the Arabs, with her airforce
          destroyed.

   (10)   A Libyan leader will create much tension in Europe.  [Definitely
          Khadaffi.]
   (11)   A "red one" [a Cardinal of the Roman Church or maybe a TWA jet]
          will be taken by Arab terrorists at sea.

   (12)   The Arabs will try to unify more of Africa by overthrowing
          pro-Western governments.  The Oriental leader will do the same.
   (13)   Arab armies will threaten central & southern Africa into
          alliances favorable to the Middle-East.

   (14)   The Arab attacks in Turkey will be followed by attacks on the
          Greek navy.  The U.S. will attempt to resupply the navy, but
          Cyprus will be lost to the Arabs.

   (15)   A series of tremendous earthquakes originating in Central Asia
          will cause destruction throughout the warring Greece and Turkey.

   (16)   Romania and Bulgaria will threaten war with the Arabs when the
          Bosphorus Straits are cut off, thus interfering with commercial
          and military ship movements.

   (17)   The U.S. and U.S.S.R. will form a military alliance against the
          both the Far Eastern power and the Arabs.  The U.S. will grow in
          fame, praise, rule, and power, and will even threaten the East
          with war.

   (18)   Geneva talks will fall apart, with the feeling that peace is
          unattainable.  [Uh-oh here it comes.]

                           **   WORLD WAR ]I[   **

   (19)   China will launch a surprise nuclear biological-warfare attack
          over the Arctic, affecting Scandinavia, Northern Russia, Alaska,
          and Canada.  Another attack will originate from a space vehicle
          270 miles up.

   (20)   The Chinese will invade France by way of southern Russia,
          conquering all in their path.

   (21)   The Turks will sign a treaty with the Chinese, but it will be
          broken when Arab naval forces from Tripoli (Libya) attack the
          west coast of Turkey.

   (22)   The Chinese army will devastate northeastern Turkey with the aid
          of nukes.

   (23)   The Arabs and Chinese will attack Greece with germ warfare, which
          will affect the environment for 9 months.

   (24)   Albania, China's ally, will invade Greece in a surprise attack
          using light armored vehicles.

   (25)   A Western coordinated counter-offensive launched from Portugal
          will delay an amphibious assault on Yugoslavia by [guess who].

   (26)   The Easterners will advance into Yugoslavia and unleash
          bacteriological weapons in central Italy to hinder Western
          counter-attack efforts.

   (27)   Greece and Italy will be attacked simultaneously by the Eastern
          forces.

   (28)   When Yugoslavia is overrun, a devastating drought will hit Italy.

   (29)   Italy will dissolve into dissenting factions and go into its own
          civil war.  The Albanians will further promote the civil war by
          paying off corrupt government officials.
   (30)   Eastern forces will attack Rome from Albania using aerial
          bombardment and germ weapons.  They will attack Venice.  Central
          Mediterranean islands will be evacuated, even as far as Malta.
          Venice will fall.

   (31)   The French fleet will be destroyed in the Adriatic Sea as it
          tries to cut off the Easterners in Italy from their Albanian
          suppliers.  The French and Italian naval defeats will keep food
          from reaching the starving Italians.

   (32)   The Easterners will develop a new land/sea weapon to attack
          coastal areas.

   (33)   The Easterners control of the Po Valley from Venice will give
          them total rule.  A French/Italian attampt to forstall Italy's
          fall will be crushed.

   (34)   In order to avoid being wiped out, the French commander will
          withdraw and regroup his soldiers along the Po in the upper
          valley.

   (35)   England will partially sink as a result of geological alterations
          and cause the deaths of 250,000 people.  [This event has been
          foreseen by at least 4 other famous psychics, also.]

   (36)   An Easter earthquake will rip open an English temple.

   (37)   Around New-Year's, the Easterners will begin a massive invasion
          of the western Italian coast, southern France, Sicily, Corsica,
          and Sardinia by the use of nuclear and germ weapons.  The French
          fleet will be obliterated.

   (38)   The Papacy will leave Rome and a new Pope will be elected.

   (39)   The French armies will be cut off in Northern Italy.

   (40)   Prince Albert will be kidnapped in North-Central Italy after the
          French unsuccessfully try to cut Eastern supply lines from
          Venice.

   (41)   The French will again regroup their forces, and will capture a
          beachhead.  This will be a turning point in the Franco-Chinese
          war.

   (42)   Ill-timed French-Italian attacks will cause the loss of Florence
          and Siena by Eastern nukes, and Pavia will be lost by the use of
          germ weapons.

   (43)   Monaco and Genoa will be annhilated by the Easterners.

   (44)   Ten assassins will be sent to murder the commander of the French
          fleet, but they will fail and a sea battle will take place.  The
          French will again lose their forces on land and sea.


   (45)   A battle will be fought at the major French port of Marseilles,
          creating an opening through which the attackers can enter.  The
          resulting massacre of nearly half a million Frenchmen will make
          people flee far northward.

   (46)   Toulouse, Foix, and Narbonne will be taken.

   (47)   Bacteria will spread northward.

   (48)   Easterners will release deadly bacteria from specialized ships at
          France's port, Agde.  Airforces will bomb Switzerland and
          Germany.

   (49)   Extensive use of nuclear and germ weapons will compose the first
          phase of the Eastern offensive against all of Europe, striking in
          France, Italy, and Spain.

   (50)   The Chinese will attack France via air, sea, and mountain.

   (51)   The Easterners will invade the Balkans to cut off the U.S.S.R.
          from its Eastern European allies.

   (52)   A North-African fleet will enter the Black Sea and attack
          Romania, Bulgaria, and southwestern Russia.

   (53)   A Chinese/Arab assault from Morocco will attack southern Spain
          with nukes.  This will be followed by an invasion along the River
          Guadalquivir.  The invasion will procede northward, with the
          destruction of Seville, Barcelona, and Leon.  The Spanish will
          halt the advance for 7 months at the River Ebro, but they will
          eventually be crushed.

   (54)   An Allied fleet will destroy supply bases in the Cyclades, but
          will be defeated near Malta, when the French lose Italy.

   (55)   Eastern bombers will attack deep into Europe with bacteriological
          weapons.

   (56)   Switzerland will fall by the hand of the Easterners, who will
          confiscate the gold reserves and impoverish the Swiss people.

   (57)   The Easterners will start extensive bombing of central & northern
          French cities in preparation for a land attack.  The French will
          fly in defenses beforehand, though.  Central France will be
          overrun regardless.

   (58)   Paris will be surrounded, and attempts to get Allied air support
          will be in vain.  Paris will surrender after Eastern forces find
          a weak spot in the defense, enter the city, and engage in hand-
          to-hand combat.  The surrender will only be a cover to organize a
          counter attack a week later.  That will surprise the Easterners,
          but they'll drive the Parisians back into the city.  Over 300,000
          will be killed or imprisoned.  Paris will be completely defeated.

   (59)   A British taskforce will land in southwest France and attempt to
          reach Paris, but will be stopped at Poitiers.




   (60)   The British will reorganize in Canada and send an invasion force
          to establish a beachhead on France's southwest coast.  With the
          aid of nukes, they march on to Bordeax and Toulouse.  The British
          plan will be to cut off occupied Spain from France and also to
          gain an opening into the Mediterranean.

   (61)   A sudden attack from the Easterners will slaughter British and
          American forces and will allow the Chinese leader a new command
          center, Carcassone.

   (62)   He will detontate a series of high-altitude, high-yield atomic
          devices which will ignite the atmosphere and cause a firestorme
          over southwest France, but this will also cause his own base to
          be destroyed.

   (63)   The Scots, left on their island, deny Britain permission to use
          their land for a military base, and seek Eastern aid when British
          forces invade out of desperation.  The resulting battle will
          defeat the British.

   (64)   All life in London will die out during winter as disease sweeps
          what is now the city-island.

   (65)   Poland and East Germany will ally with the Easterners and strike
          against the smaller countries, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Austria,
          and West Germany.

   (66)   West Germany and Austria will be invaded.  West Germany's border
          will be split down the middle again.  Netherlands, Belgium, and
          northern France will also be raided.

   (67)   At the same time of the German/Austrian invasions, Western forces
          will attack the Persian Gulf to weaken the heart of the Middle
          East.

   (68)   German leaders will cause the downfall of Central European
          defenses, along with Eastern attacks from East Germany and
          Yugoslavia.

   (69)   The Allies will make their last stand at Bruges in northwest
          Belgium.  The Eastern Forces will dominate nearly all of Europe.

                    **   The Allies take the Offensive **

   (70)   Nuclear stikes will be made against America and Russia, and food
          will become in short supply.  The U.S. will be forced into
          economic chaos, with looters and riters raiding banks and shops
          for food, money, and supplies.

   (71)   A CONFLAG (Cluster Orbital Nuclear Fire-weapon for Light
          Atmospere iGnition) system will be launched from China and
          detonated above New England, burning as far south as New York
          City.

   (72)   New York will be partially destroyed by a great earthquake that
          will partially sink Manhattan island.

   (73)   The Orientals will attempt to invade the U.S. near New York, but
          the U.S. navy will easily repel their attack.  American Orientals
          will be placed in "protective custody."
   (74)   The Easterners will infiltrate Latin America and murder the
          president of Brazil.  Their navy will attempt to take the Panama
          Canal, but it will be unsuccessful and the attacking force will
          be obliterated.

   (75)   The U.S. and Russia will resort to germ warfare to retalliate.

   (76)   The U.S.S.R. will be invaded from three directions, but careful
          preparation will allow them to use chemical weapons against the
          Chinese.

   (77)   To prepare to attack Asia, Eastern forces will set up Pacific
          defenses.  They will entrap a U.S. fleet, but Russia will aid the
          encircled Americans and help to defeat the Chinese navy.

   (78)   The American Air Force will make bombing runs deep into Europe.
          Seven months later the U.S. and Russia will make a joint attack
          on China that will last a full week without stopping.  The
          Eastern forces will be defeated in their homeland, thus severely
          weakening their power.

   (79)   Scotland and London will be recaptured by the Allies.  A new
          Middle-Eastern commander will make his headquarters in Rome.

   (80)   Scandinavia, the Baltic states, and the Balkans will all be
          attacked by the Allies.

   (81)   The British will liberate southwest France, which will be
          reinforced by other Western armies.  The allies will penetrate
          from La Rochelle into central France, to Roanne.  Another
          invasion force will land near Calais and slowly make its way to
          northeastern France.

   (82)   Central and Southern France will be liberated as the Allies
          continue to push onward.

   (83)   The Arabs and Far Easterners no longer will be able to work
          together after the defeats in the Pacific, and this weakens their
          still-resisting armies.

   (84)   Many battles will be fought as Allied forces make their way to
          Marseilles, the Easterners' stronghold and supply port.  This
          will be coordinated with a submarine assault on southern France.

   (85)   French and British forces will seize the Spanish city of
          Barcelona, and move on to aid in the successful Allied attack on
          Marseilles.

   (86)   Nice will be retaken, but the Arabs will attack from Spain and
          Italy, recapturing parts of southern and southeastern France.  At
          the same time, the Arabs will launch a missile attack against the
          Allies in Northern France.  This attack will be unsuccessful, and
          the Arabs will be driven back.

   (87)   The Allies will use bacteriological weapons against Lausanne,
          Switzerland, forcing the Arabs to retreat.

   (88)   Spain will be reconquered after a large naval battle on March
          3rd, 1996.

   (89)   The Allies will make a massive onslaught into Italy, liberating
          it.  The Church will be returned to Rome.

   (90)   The Arabs will be forced all the way back into northern Africa,
          but a French force will be annihilated as it tries to cross the
          Adriatic Sea.

   (91)   The Allies will attack the Mediterranean islands.

   (92)   A secret and very successful raid will be made by the Allies to
          free POW's in Turkey.

   (93)   Southern Arabia will be nuked by the Allies, but the Arabs will
          recapture Sicily.  This will have little effect, though, and soon
          all of central Europe will be liberated.

   (94)   5000 Far Easterners will die when losing Crete and Greece to the
          Allies.

   (95)   The French, under a new leader named Ogmios, will lead an Allied
          assault on Turkey between May 25th and June 21st, 1996.  The
          Arabs there will be defeated.  Northern Turkey will be liberated
          on October 3rd.

   (96)   Western amphibious attacks will fail, and Arab saboteurs will
          destroy an Allied military base after a defeat in one battle.

   (97)   In a surprise attack, the Western forces will attack and defeat
          the Eastern navy.

   (98)   Allies will infiltrate the Middle East, stabbing into occupied
          Israel, Syria, and Jordan.  Arab resistance will disintegrate,
          and within a month the last Eastern forces, in Central and South
          America, will surrender.  Israel will be liberated.

   (99)   The Westerners will attack Middle Eastern positions in India,
          defeating all.

   (100)  The desparate Arabs will fight 3 last-ditch battles in eastern
          Iran and Northeastern Turkey.  The last battle will bring about
          the collapse of the Arab empire.  The Arab commander-in-chief
          will be killed in his own headquarters.

   (101)  The battles will eventually cease in Iran, and World War ]I[ will
          finally be over.  The Allies win again!
