- Some 1993 "Predictions" from the Fox-TV show "Sightings",
- January 8, 1993 (highlights).
-
- Attributed to Nostradamus:
- Peter Lorie, Author/Publisher, said,
- "We believe that at 7:05 in the evening, on the 8th of May, 1993,
- there will be one of the largest earthquakes ever to hit California.
- That it will spread during an 11-minute period, when the quake will
- actually continue, all the way up the coast, on
- the Andreas fault, and that it will start a major disaster on the
- American continent."
-
- [The screen shows a map having an earthquake radiating outward from
- Los Angeles, to San Francisco and beyond.]
-
- Psychologist Terence Sandbek, PhD [of the Sacramento Skeptics], said
- that Nostradamus wrote in "very obscure quatrains ... you can read
- anything in it you want to."
-
- A book was shown, "Nostradamus, The End of the Millenium, Prophecies:
- 1992 to 2001" by V.J. Hewitt and Peter Lorie. [Possibly published in
- the U.K., Lorie speaks with a British accent.]
-
- Lorie says: "What we did in our book was to actually discover a code,
- a numerical and grammatical code, which actually is quite tricky to
- begin with, but once you get the hang of it it's quite simple, which
- decodes the quatrains and makes them much more fascinating than they
- are in fact on the face of it." [i.e., these authors alone have
- discovered the "hidden meaning" encoded within Nostradamus' quatrains!]
-
- On the screen, from Lorie's book, as he speaks: "Verse X.74 decoded:
- L'Amerique apres Roi Charles et Jeux Olympiques...."
- An elaborate "translation table" of dates and numbers is shown.
- Supposed meaning: "Beginning in 1992 and ending in 1993, the coronation
- of King Charles and the Olympic Games will be followed by a great
- earthquake triggered off by a shifting in the sea...."
-
- Richard Nolle, astrologer, predicts a terrible year, the kind you will
- put on a T-shirt, "I survived 1993." He predicts terrorist attacks
- around Feb. 2, also in August & early October. A major earthquake in the
- western U.S. probably around February 8, or March 6, or April 6, plus or
- minus 3 days.
-
- Arch Crawford, Wall Street astrologer. Sees a stock market high late in
- April, then a "very devastating" May-June period, which may be another
- crash, "the worst I've seen in a long time."
-
- Erika Cheetham, author and "Nostradamus expert," predicts an earthquake
- on the west coast of unprecedented magnitude, on May 21, 1993.
-
- Jeanne Avery, astrologer, predicts that 1993 will "not be an easy" year.
- The Uranus-Neptune conjunction spells big trouble. The stock market
- will be in trouble February/March. Major "earth changes" will occur
- around Seattle, or Utah, or Portland in May. Explains that "earth
- changes" might be floods, hurricanes, disastrous weather, or maybe
- earthquakes. She also sees the stock market in big trouble at that
- time, and some "terrible rumblings" in middle eastern countries.
- Bill Clinton will have a "fabulous" term. He will make a "wonderful"
- president. He has four years ahead with very few difficult aspects.
- He will be a "fabulous leader."
