On Tue, 11 Mar 2003 10:43:59 -0500, I was responding to the
utterrances of the King of Disinformation, a certain British
translator named Peter Ewart Britton, a.k.a., Peter Lemesurier.

A rich lady was born in this NewsGroup, when a British
translator, Peter Ewart Britton, a.k.a. Peter Lemesurier, decided
that Nostradamus could not have predicted the future because he
was not a seer/prophet, and therefore that his valiant attempt at
showing that he knew about the purpose of King George VI's trip
to America in the Spring of 1939, i.e., to rally the support of
Canada and the US in his upcoming war with 'a so false antichrist
who would eventually lead them all into combat', was not to be
read as such ('the chief of London, during his reign, America'),
but ought to be understood as involving a 'rich lady'. This is
all about quatrain X-66:

This text having been printed by Nostradamus in June 1558, in a
book postdated 1568, i.e., the Benoist Rigaud edition, we find
that the expression "l'Americh" in line 1 means America, although
that spelling does not and has never existed in French, and
although that word does not rhyme with the "antechrist" of line
3. Why? It's the anagram, stupid!

The King of Disinformation having decided that Nostradamus could
not have spoken of America in his quatrains because he did not
know about America, we find that the Associated Press, in an
article dated... today!, shows us that the name America (to
designate the New World discovered by Christopher Columbus) was
known as early as... 1507, when Nostradamus was... 3 years-old.

9 mars 1454: Naissance d'Amerigo Vespucci
*
C'est le navigateur florentin Amerigo Vespucci qui a donné son nom à
l'Amérique. Fils de notaire, il entre dans la banque des Médicis, et
en 1491, il est envoyé à Séville où il devient l'ami de Christophe
Colomb. Il effectue sa première traversée de l'Atlantique de sa propre
initiative en 1499-1500 et voit l'embouchure de l'Amazone. Il passe au
service du Portugal et explore entre autres la côte du Brésil. Ses
récits de voyage impressionnent si fortement le géographe allemand
Martin Waldseemuller qu'en 1507, il propose d'appeler le Nouveau Monde
"Amérique". Quand il reconnaît que Christophe Colomb avait le premier
abordé les rivages de ce pays, il était trop tard: le nom était
irrévocable. Vespucci est mort à Séville en 1512.
*
Not bad for a guy who could not have known about America, eh?
*
And when said Peter Lemesurier finally allows himself to explain
via the coded nature of these texts why line 1 and line 3 of X-66
do not rhyme by admitting that these poetic anomalies (the weird
spelling of "Americh" and the non existent word "Reb" also having
to be explained) are the product of Nostradamus' ever present
line-based cryptic anagrams, then, as we say in French, "les
poules auront des dents".
*
To which said Peter Lemesurier responded:
*
Really subtle, isn't it, the way Claude twists what you say ever so
slightly so as to make you seem to say what you didn't say?!
Comes from all that wilful re-casting of Nostradamus's own words, I
imagine...
I think that if he checks back he may just find that I said
Nostradamus didn't know about *the USA*!
*
Ah, ok then. Which would mean that you now say that Nostradamus
knew about America, because he mentions it in X-66, or are you
still sticking to the very ridiculous view that the oddly spelled
"Americh" in line 1 is in fact yet another printer's mess for the
expression "dame riche"?
*
And you still have not explained *why* this oddly spelled
"Americh" does not rhyme with the "antechrist" of line 3. Can't
blame the printers for that one can you?
*
I'll repeat why these two expressions do not rhyme: IT'S THE
ANAGRAM, STUPID!!!
*
Have a nice day, folks!
