Nostradamus on elections 2009

I was reading Nostradamus and found some interesting verses which might be related to current times. As with all prophecies they are pretty vague and am sure they could be connected to several events that have already occurred and several that will be occurring. Its probably due to my preoccupation with the ongoing election in India that I found the correlation striking to the Indian politics. These verses did not occur together and I totally agree that statistically when you put down enough vague lines, you have to find some which match any situation. I am not trying to convince you of Nostradamus's predicting powers and I myself am far from being convinced. But nevertheless they do make amusing read and so I wanted to share. There are some other pieces which I thought related to various other things, but for now I'll stick to the general elections at hand.

annus of hostilis in terra of thres luingumus

satraps vadum perdo vox 

dum in meridianus 

tigres es venator mortuus

translates to

the year of the enemy, land of 3 luingums (lingams)

the rulers shall lose power
while in the south

tigers are hunted dead

land of 3 lingams is an obvious reference to gultland, trilinga desa. the rulers (Congress) will lose power. (I could not find the meaning of the word "Luingums" but it is hard to miss that it sounds so very close to lingam) and in the south, (must be Sri Lanka) the LTTE tigers are being killed in the war.

matris constituo tunc rex rgis 

ut procer iacio exspecto
flax quod pango vadum non opus 

capit nonnullus veneficus

mother shall decide the next king
as the princes lay waiting
sickle and hammer shall not work
it needs some magic(maya)

Mother (amma) refers to Jayalalitha, who going by normal Tamil voting trends should sweep Tamil Nadu this time will decide who comes to power in Delhi. The sickle and hammer symbolising the leftist parties wont have much of a role but maya (mayawathi) will be needed.

licens malum vicinus tentatio
uber es plurrimi vulnero
infortunatus civitas depono
Romanorum viduata in vox

unchecked evil neighbours attack
rich are the most hurt
unhappy citizens dethrone
the Roman (Italian) widow in power

the first line i believe is a reference to the Mumbai attacks. rich are most hurt. the attack was on the financial capital and upscale south Mumbai and targetted the rich in 5 star hotels. and if it predicts right, Sonia Gandhi the Italian widow who was practically the prime minister will be dethroned.

And here's the last one. This one ain't related to the elections but the connection is too good to miss. 

vereor vadum permoveo lusum 

permaneo alio adveho primoris
dum totus regius , rex rgis
quod suum miles militis morsus pulvis

fear shall move the sports 

the last ones come first 

while all the royals, kings 

and their knights bite the dust

Too obvious. GO DECCAN CHARGERS
