I agree with the US dollar collapse and massive inflation, which is already occurring. Risk of asteroids hitting earth are also increasing.

And a CME causing havoc with our Electric gear.
Exceptions prove the rule, and wreck the budget.

It's interesting to read prophetic writings. Partially because we can't know what the person actually meant. Language barriers exist not only in time but space. We can look at Shakespeare's writings for evidence of that. He wrote in 'modern' English, and yet we still misconstrue or even miss out on a lot of his puns and innuendo simply because we don't apply a thick brogue to the re-reading. I remember listening to a language specialist read a portion of a play (I think it might have been from MacBeth) and the amount of innuendo in that one piece was hilarious. I'd never noticed! So despite our language timeframe being similar, the space makes us miss the whole message.
I think even if there's a chance that Nostradamus saw all this stuff in the future, it's unlikely that we would translate his intent appropriately on the the basis of time and space problems alone. I'm not into future-seeing. I think it's far too easy to read what you want to see in a message. But it's somewhat fun to interpret things and see if it makes sense in hindsight.

In the late 90s I read a book called "nostradamus, 1989 and beyond" (the year might not be exact). It was funny that every 'prediction' about before 1989 was 'correct' according to the book. But everything predicted for the years between the publishing of that book and the time I read it was complete garbage. I suppose that was a co-incidence...

Get ghostery rastus. On this page alone it blocks four trackers. On clickbait news sites I've seen it block fifteen of them.

I think the "Farmers Almanac" (Canadian edition) is about as spot on each year as anything you might find for this country at least..
