Nostradamus C2 Q33: Major rivers act as conduits for disaster when floods wreck nuclear sites
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015, Apr 2023
The anagram
for
thermonuclear (marcheront leu) in the fourth line
of this verse helps immensely in developing the nuclear
theme found in many verses as indicated by the series to the
right.
This cluster of verses is not just random but develops a consistent theme
for a single period. Nor is it commonplace for although its focus is on
aspects that relate to the future of man these don't relate to a nuclear
war. Rather they tell the story of nature's impact on human dreams of
endless, cheap energy.
The text of this verse makes strong reference to flows of water that
wreck local infrastructure. Importantly Nostradamus indicates that
actions in Italy are mirrored in France. This theme is seen in
many of the verses in this series and because it is interconnected with
the way other events unfold it is becomes a crucial dating marker (See
my paper on Floods
for more on this aspect). The period it indicates relates to the late
21st century and beyond.
An anagram for
Minnesong(n moins en G) also occurs and seems
out of place but it does serve well as a metaphor for reaching beyond
one's status for recognition (Minnesong is a 15th C song about unrequited
yearning for the unattainable). This aspect is highly consistent with the
thermonuclear theme since it is able to deliver great amounts of energy
but requires such a strong burst of energy to commence the process that
it has not yet been succesfully used.
The current hope for thermonclear power is a nuclear plant in Southern
France in the region Nostradamus grew up in and ended his life. However
one of the greatest threats to many nuclear plants lies in their
reliance on cooling agents. It is for this reason these plants are
alongside strong rivers but during a time of great flood the torrents
may prove unmanageable and destructive.
The story from the anagrams in this verse is
about actions designed to help the poor at the planning stage which is
consistent with the malthusian theme in the other verse holding this
same anagram (C10 Q64). The curent verse also implies that safety concerns are down-played in order to relieve the
squalor of the populace. The text tells us that the aftermath of flooding
is at many sites in France and Italy which are ruined as the great rivers
bring new genes to the towns upon the plains.

Through the torrent which descends from
Verona Its entry will then be guided to the Po, A great wreck, and no less in the Garonne,
When those of Genes march against their country.

Par lors qu'au pau guidera ſon entree
Vn grand naufrage et non moins en Garonne
Quant ceux de Genes marcheront leur contree.
