In this video it goes through the predictions of Nostradamus and how they "came true" in the 21st century and what could be coming next and if we can stop it. A red flag could be  Ancient Wisdom because they are looking back at the predictions that "came true" and are trying to look at other predictions that could tell us what is coming next. A reason for belief could be Patternicity because they are looking at old predictions to see if they are lining up with current events.

This website is quotes translated into English from Nostradamus' book Les Propheties that "prove" that he predicted Donald Trump becoming president of the United States.
The book which was originally published in 1555 could have been referencing/could have been influenced by events taking place at that time. A red flag to this article could be Confirmation bias because people are search for things said in Les Propheties to relate to current events. A reason for belief is Agenticity because people believed that Nostradamus had a higher power of being able to see into the future.

Michel de Nostradame, (latinised to: Nostradamus) was a French 'seer' who died in 1566 and wrote over a thousand predictions about the coming centuries, contained in Les Propheties.

He wrote these as four line poems, organised into 'quatrains'. Les Propheties was published as 10 volumes, each referred to as a 'century'.

The seer has been credited by some with predicting World War Two and the 11 September Attacks on New York City.

Some believe that Century III, quatrain 81 refers to the 2016 presidential election.

Le grand criard sans honte audacieux,

Sera esleu gouuerneur de l'armee:

La hardiesse de son contenteur

Le pont rompu, cité de pur pasmee.

For those of you not conversant in medieval tongues, History.com has provided this translation:

The great shameless, audacious bawler,

He will be elected governor of the army:

The boldness of his contention,

The bridge broken, the city faint from fear

OK. That sounds about right. Especially given that in addition to being President, Mr Trump is also the Commander-in-Chief.

Other predictions from Nostradamus have also been related to the 2016 US presidential election.

In Century VIII, quatrain 15 he writes

The masculine woman will exert herself to the north

She will annoy nearly all of Europe and the rest of the world.

Two failures will put her in such an imbalance

That both life and death will strengthen Eastern-Europe

Not to be rude, but some have suggested the 'masculine woman' is Hillary, and the stronger Eastern Europe is Russia?

Quatrain 20 from the same century speaks about a rigged election

The false message about the rigged election

to run through the city stopping the broken pact;

voices bought, chapel stained with blood,

the empire contracted to another one

Perhaps a reference to the alignment between Trump and Vladimir Putin's foreign policy? Or maybe the ongoing investigation into allegations of Russia collusion?

Perhaps Mr Trump's second year as President will reveal more truths.

These passages from Nostradamus are proof that he 'predicted' a Trump victory in 2016, apparently. Michel de Nostradame, (latinised to: Nostradamus) was a French 'seer' who died in 1566 and wrote over a thousand predictions about the coming centuries, contained in Les Propheties. He wrote these as four line poems, organised into 'quatrains'.

This website is predictions made by Nostradamus and the connections to current events that people have made. For example "08/ 03 / 2013 - Will the Next Pope be Nostradamus´Anti-Christ? by Richard Oldale" or "11/ 11 / 2014 - Did Nostradamus Predict Ebola? Nostradamus Ebola Prediction by Richard Oldale".  A red flag could be Ancient Wisdom because people believe that Nostradamus' predictions are true and that he knew more then us. A reason for belief could be Ideology because these predictions have created a set of ideas by the people who believe in them.

In this photo we have a portrait of Nostradamus with a meteor smashing into the earth. Predictions made by Nostradamus have often had to do with the end of times or the Anti-Christ. A red flag for his predictions could be Mystical Energy because he could "see" into the future to make these predictions and the people in 1555 and even to this day find it mystical. A reason for belief could be Unexplained because we don't really know if he actually saw the future or if these predictions were really just poems that people took to far.

In this photo is has a quotes by Nostradamus. "From the calm morning, the end will come. When of the dancing horse the number of the circles will be 9". A red flag could be Mystical Energy because he predicted the end of times. In this apocalyptic quote he talks about  a dancing horse creating circles of nine, which seems to a reader from today or in 1503 to be very mystical. A reason for belief could be  Agenticity because the number 9 is the number 6 flipped and the number 6 is related to the devil and hell while the number 9 is related to god and heaven.

In this photo it shows the following "predictions" made by Nostradamus. Death of the Kennedy Brothers, the reign of Hitler, the French Revolution and 9/11. A red flag could be Red Herring because it distracts from the logical line of evidence. A reason for belief could be Patternicity because people in situations like 9/11 tend to look for answers and made a connection to a prediction made by Nostradamus.

In this video they talk about the end of times and the date that Nostradamus predicted for the end.  A red flag could be Proof by verbosity because he talks about the how the sun is expanding and will engulf the earth but scientist say it wont happen for another billion years. A reason for belief could be Simplicity because even though scientist have said that the Sun is expanding, Nostradamus also made this statement and it could be easier for people to understand then a scientist saying it.
