There are those who keep the fire alive (somewhat), as far as Nostradamus is concerned, by
holding vigil and carefully going over everything he wrote.  They consider themselves
"researchers," of the self-appointed variety.  Since the general consensus (agreement) is that
Nostradamus wrote his most famous book (or infamous), The Prophecies, in such a way that it
could not be clearly understood, these volunteers have been keepers of the flame; but not so
much to solve anything.

It seems a large number of these people are British (or Brits II, those overflow British now stuck
primarily in the colonies of Australia and Canada).  That should be odd, seeing how
Nostradamus wrote in French (Old French), because he was French, living in the southeastern
department of Provence.  However, it is not odd, when one realizes that purposeful
mistranslations of Nostradamus were used to sway the people to follow behind the tyrant
Adolph Hitler.  Great Britain fell from its position atop the world's most powerful podium,
because of all the wealth it had to throw into simply not losing that war.  Simply put, the British
were shown as no longer able to dominate the world through the intimidation of force, because
so much of their force was left exhausted trying to keep their island alive.  That terrible loss of
position to the most prideful nation on earth, at least in part, can be blamed on the ignorance of
people, which led them to believe propaganda interpretations of words written by Nostradamus,
which are generally agreed do not make clear sense.

This means that the keepers of the Nostradamus flame are not designed to solve anything
about The Prophecies.  They are designed to make sure everyone forever realizes that
Nostradamus was contradictory in his claims and there is no reason to believe anything he
wrote makes sense.  Their research is designed to look for as many examples as possible that
what Nostradamus wrote means nothing that could cause another embarrassing war for Great
Britain (or, hopefully, for anyone).  This means they come to narrow-minded views, through
tunnel vision that automatically rejects broad interpretative analysis, that keeps such wild claims
as the Nazis made from ever popping up gaining mass acceptance.

This group, led by their master keeper (possibly a paid government worker), will step forward to
calmly state that any such claim of meaning cannot be supported by their research findings.  
They announce, with an air of superior British research knowledge, Nostradamus wrote (in this
specific instance, or that specific instance) no such statement that can be construed in the
manner the wild claimants publicly say.  In essence, their role is to be the Nostradamus referees
in a fixed wrestling match, where the challenger (the one saying Nostradamus wrote something
of meaning) is always pinned by the local hero (the one saying Nostradamus wrote nothing of
meaning), or at least to disqualify the challenger for cheating, should the challenger somehow
continue to woo the crowd with his claims.  They are acting now just as Churchill had them
purposefully act during World War II, which was to counter the German propaganda claims of
interpretations, stating Germany would rule the world, by producing equally manipulated and
manufactured interpretations that stated the exact opposite.

To be continued ... because all arguments against what I have found will be exposed for what
they truly are.  All logical differences of opinion can logically be led to a point of agreement.  
Only from a point of agreement can a logical debate begin; but if agreement cannot be reached,
one side (or possibly both sides) is being closed-minded, due to biased opinion.  Absolutely
nothing can be proved in that case, other than opinions are like assholes - everybody has one.

I will next be posting if there is logic to the debate over Nostradamus' use of punctuation, and
then the debate over translation rights.  If you have any comments to make, feel free to
email
them to me.
