Nostradamus C.10 Q.31: American anti-emperial campaign flounders in Iran.

Nostradamus C.10 Q.31: American anti-imperial campaign flounders in Iran. This verse is one of four that has an anagram for American in its text. In my page on American disaster in Iran I show the consistency in these four verses. In total  they produce a story that uses Alexander the Great's campaigns in Persia as a mirror image of what will happen in the twenty-first century. In this verse we see some of the elements that are repeated in the complete set and these relate to a disaster in the Gulf of Hormuz involving minerals released into the sea. It is part of an anti-imperial campaign that traverses the Alexandrian routes from the Gulf to the city of Susa by land and sea. This has always been difficult terrain for any army and it remains the case today. The Ishmaelites mentioned in the text most likely refers to a branch of Shia Islam whose adherents are also known as Seveners. C.X Q.31 The Holy Empire will come into Germany, The Ishmaelites will find open places: The asses will want also Carmania, The supporters all covered by earth. Le $aint empire viendra en Germanie I$maelites trouueront lieux ouuerts Anes vouldront au$$i la Carmanie Le $ou$tenens de terre tous couuerts.

Nostradamus C.8 Q.26: Two of Nostradamus 16thC patrons. I believe this verse is included to indicate  the calibre of the people who supported Nostradamus' quest. Nostradamus' major patron appears to have been Jean de Bernuy, pastel dye grower and exporter of Toulouse. The story of this man is given in greater detail in my paper on Nostradamus Sect. His last name is found amongst the anagrams in the fourth line of this verse  while the story in the text and the anagrams can be interpreted in a consistent way. It appears to be the tale of a smuggling route for pastel dye between Toulouse and Barcelona. Such an operation was necessary throughout much of Bernuy's life. The third line behaves in a familar way for it has a lovely crypticism built into it- The great one who holds, but does not hold is a good metaphor for the dye trade which was is in perpetual competition to improve the fastness of colour. These trails can be seen in anagrams such as dyes, surety, irresolute (for the process) and Caderonne, subterraneous route (for a secret passage through the tunnels along the French-Spanish border route from mid France to Barcelona).   There is however another tale of the sixteent century to be found in the anagrams and it is about a map-maker from England who is deeply involved in the revolution of the difficult art of creating a too-scale world map that was correct for all regions from the equator to the poles. I believe that  the relevance of this story is that the person who succeeded Bernuy as patron of Nostradamus.   C.8 Q.26 The bones of Cato found in Barcelona, placed, discovered, the site found again and ruined The great one who holds, but does not hold, wants Pamplona, drizzle at the abbey of Montferrat. De Caron es trouues en Bar$ellonne Mys de$couuers lieu terrouers et ruyne Le grad qui tient ne tient vouldra Pamplonne Par l'abbage de Montferrat bruyne. Anagram Sequences in French Text.
