Nostradamus C4 Q40: A sect poisons the oceans to stem the flow of refugees.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

In this verse the French word poudre has traditionally been intrepreted as being gunpowder but in reality it can mean any powder and the anagrams imply that the story of the text is about a chemical powder that is deliberately dumped into the oceans to strip a particular group of people of the means to survive.

Through the anagrams we see that it is an act of racism by a wealthy sect who believe outsiders fleeing their own-distressed countries carry diseases.

In this scenario the fortresses of the besieged shut up refers to well-off countries that change their laws and actions to stop migrants coming to their shores by boat. However the Prophecy goes beyond this to the actions of a sect of racists who use their monies to make the seas more dangerous for those who must cross it to reach their lands. This gives meaning to the traitors will all be stowed away alive since it infers that people immune from the action of their power will all be stowed on these refugee ships and their traitorous act inundates pits of the ocean .
