Dear oh dear. Always thought Bakunin was a bit of an aristocratic
tosser:
<BELOW WAS CUT AND PASTED FROM

I have no doubt that some will seriously claim that the 16th-century
prophet
Nostradamus predicted the World Trade Center and Pentagon
attacks in his
writings - such claims follow virtually every modern disaster - but
one
quatrain already being circulated under Nostradamus' name is
demonstrably
bogus.
Example:
"In the City of God there will be a great thunder,
Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the
great
leader will succumb",
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"
- Nostradamus 1654
Unfortunately, Nostradamus died in 1566, so it's rather unlikely he
wrote
this passage in 1654. It's not to be found in his published oeuvre.
It's
a
hoax.
The verse apparently originated on a Web page entitled "A Critical
Analysis
of Nostradamus," written several years ago by a student named Neil
Marshall.
Marshall made up the quatrain to demonstrate - quite ironically, in
light
of
how it is now being misused - that the writings of Nostradamus are
so
cryptic that they can be interpreted to mean almost anything.
Oh, and of all the possible candidates for a "City of God" in the
modern
world, shouldn't New York City rate among the least likely?
Two metal birds?
An interesting variant of the faux prophecy was posted in the
newsgroup
soc.culture.palestine under the heading "They followed his
prediction":
In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn
apart
by
Chaos,while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb''The
third
big war will begin when the big city is burning'- Nostradamus 1654
...on
the
11 day of the 9 month that...two metal birds would crash into two
tall
statues...in the new city..and the world will end soon after" "From
the
book of Nostradamus"
