I have been teaching some homeschoolers history, and as part of the class I have been creating web-pages on various historical periods. This week’s lecture was on the French Revolution. My research prompted me to make a page on Robespierre and the Reign of Terror. I link all the pages in indepthinfo by hand. To do this I will type in the subject and related matter into the InDepthInfo search engine looking for compatible pages. Any time I write about history or any remotely calamitous subject Nostradamus appears.

There were no less than three page references connecting Nostradamus and the Reign of Terror.

I am not in the least superstitious, so I see nothing sinister in this. I put the complete works of Nostradamus online some years ago, more or less as a lark. When so many searches result in a Nostradamus page I realize that there is a logical reason. There are a tremendous number of calamitous words in the writings of the “seer”. Since one can find almost anything in the enigmatic lines, one may also see a serendipitous connection to whatever subject a person happens to be preoccupied. No wonder Nostradamus has convinced so many people for so long!
