WASHINGTON DC - USA - Scholars for the Smithsonian Institute have uncovered new interpretations that may relate to Barack Obama, the Illinois senator vying to become the next US president.
Professor Eugene Randell, Deputy Director of the Smithsonian Institution Archives has released information pertaining to the up and coming US elections.
The Institute which holds some very rare Nostradamus manuscripts, believes that some of the quatrains written by the 16th century soothsayer are very close to describing the fight for the White House that is happening now.
"We have the only existing fourth edition of Nostradamus' book Les Propheties (The Prophecies). There were thought to be only three editions published in 1558, this new edition is from 1559 and includes 20 more quatrains which have never been revealed before -- that is, until now," Professor Randell said from the archive office on Tuesday.
Nostradamus has been credited with predicting numerous events in world history, from the Great Fire of London, the rise of Napoleon I of France, the French Revolution and Adolf Hitler, to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
The professor told the Daily Squib that it is well known that some of the quatrains are open to interpretation however what he has translated from the previously unreleased manuscript will certainly "ruffle a few feathers".
243 The great empire will be torn from limb, The all-powerful one for more than four hundred years: Great power given to the dark one from slaves come, The Aryana will not be satisfied thereby.
Nostradamus' previously unreleased quatrains are a heavily guarded secret and the scholars have broken with tradition to reveal a few tidbits in the Smithsonian's monthly circular.
We leave it to our esteemed readers to make up their own minds. However, it seems that with the release of the new quatrains the race for the White House may have been already written about many centuries ago.
Nostradamus is not referring to OBAMA...
“The great empire will be torn from limb,”

Germany turned round to Russia and said: ‘Here, I insist that you shall stand by with your arms folded whilst Austria is strangling to death your little brother.’ What answer did the Russian Slav give? He gave the only answer that becomes a man. He turned to Austria and said: ‘You lay hands on that little fellow and I will tear your ramshackle empire limb from limb.’ And he is doing it.
Germany applies that ideal to nations; she will only allow six-feet-two nations to stand in the ranks.
“The all-powerful one for more than four hundred years”
This could mean a country, or government.
“Great power given to the dark one from slaves come”
“obama is not from Iran”
A Dutch slave trader exchanged his cargo of Africans for food in 1619. The 20 Africans arrival of Africans to Jamestown became indentured servants. In fact, the first twenty “Negar” slaves had arrived from the West Indies
Negar is in a state area in Iran
Negar -e Iran “ that the Iranian parliament and state
“The Aryana will not be satisfied thereby.”
Ariana or Aryana, general name for the eastern provinces of the ancient Persian Empire. It was used to mean the regions S of the Oxus (modern Amu Darya) River; the regions to the north were called Transoxiana (see Sogdiana). Ariana is included in present E Iran, N and E Afghanistan, and India NE of the Indus River.
Nostradamus did all of his writings during peyote parties
