Evidently Nostradamus said:
The year 1999, seventh month,
A great king of terror will descend from the skies,
To resuscitate the great king of Angolmois,
Around this time Mars will reign for the good cause. (10.72)
(Robb, Stewart. Prophecies on World Events by Nostradamus, pg. 135)
Some meaningless shit, eh?
But, somehow, Mr. Robb claims that Nostradamus says there will be air warfare perpetrated by Arabs, led by the anti-Christ (the "great king of terror"), against America in 1999, which will create a British-American alliance (pgs. 135-139).
Essentially, Mr. Robb gives Nostradamus credit for predicting the invention of airplanes, the existence of America, hostilities between a non-existent America and Arabs, and other shit.
What Mr. Robb's book shows is that Nostradamus is a hack, but Stewart Robb is a fucking prophet. Mr. Robb wrote his book in 1961!!!!!! Basically, he was only 2 years off on predicting September 11th, Osama bin Laden, and the America and Britain Iraq war alliance, writing 40 years before it happened. That's some impressive shit!
I mean, the only safe predictions that I can make for 40 years from now is that in 2046:
1) I will be sarcastic
2) Something ending in "ism" will threaten America's way of life
3) People will be predicting that the apocalypse is near.
Stewart Robb is the Nostradamus of the 20th century.
