This is the only quatrain where Nostradamus listed an ancient name that most closely relates to Ukraine.
La loy Moriçque on verra deffaillir, There law Morris dance one will see to wax feeble,
Apres une aultre beaucoup plus seductive, After one another very much more distancing,
Boristhenes premier viendra failir, Dnieper River first will come to faint,
Par dons & langue une plus attractive. By reason of gifts & speech one more drawn into.
Let me first state that Nostradamus wrote a very clear story (divinely inspired, not from his brain interpreting water in a bowl) of a Holy War between Islam and Christianity, which focuses on the invasion, occupation, and torture of Western Europeans. In that very involved story, the Islamic invaders will be greatly assisted by “slaves,” with the word “black” used to denote Islamic warriors, many of whom will be recruited from African Muslim nations. The word “black” (“noir,” “noire,” “noires,” and “noirs”) has religious connotations, not racial. Joined with those Muslims will be non-religious mercenaries, who will be “Slavs,” which comes with the identifying color “red.” The word “red” (“rouge,” “rouges,” “rougir,” “rougira”) is metaphor for those non-religious.
Because the Russian ‘invasion’ of Ukraine has become major world news, as the acts of war by the mighty Bear, against poor defenseless Ukraine, that act of aggression was expected to be a quick and bloody insurgence of a superpower over a much weaker nation. It has become a surprise now that Russia is proving to be poorly prepared. Imagine that!
Because the only element of the prophecy of a war against the Christian West includes Slavs, their role in the storyline is as the poor Eastern Europeans getting a chance to enjoy all the riches they lost because they were left to be enslaved behind an Iron Curtain for fifty years. It is revenge-motivated, due to Western Europe afforded the luxury to recover from the carnage of World War II; so, they could return to normalcy and then party hardy. Believe me when I say, “Nostradamus prophesied that the memories of suffering, without a helping hand, will not be forgiven. A lack of religious efforts to force help to them also places hatred upon the Church of the West.
This makes the proximity of Ukraine to the West be most intriguing. According to what I see in the overall story of Nostradamus, Russia will stand back and make it appear they have no control over any other country. This would include all that used to be part of the U.S.S.R. and the border countries that were under their control, as puppet nations. Nostradamus makes it clear those extensions from Russia will be involved militarily in the invasion of Western Europe, with Russia strongly supporting this future war covertly, especially in arming the Middle East. Russia being atheist in a Holy War makes it easy for them to say they have no interests in ‘religious squabbles.’
While I have not scoured all of the quatrains for some ancient name that is relative to Eastern Europe, I did find this quatrain above, where the third line begins with a capitalized “Boristhenes.” That is the ancient name for the Dnieper River, which flows through Ukraine to the Black Sea. It is synonymous with Ukraine, which is a name that means “border land.” It was the border country to the three “Rus” peoples: White Rus (Belarus), Black Rus (Russia) and Red Rus (Black Sea region of Russia). Back in the day, it was controlled by Lithuania and Poland, so Ukraine was the border between those peoples and the Rus people..
The confusing part of this quatrain has been the use of the capitalized word “Moriçque” in line one. Line one is the main theme statement for the quatrain. The main theme is applied to all of the subsequent verses, in one way or another (through a system applied). This is an Old French word that clearly means “Morris dance,” but some modify that to be “Moorish dance,” with the word “Moorish” implying North African Muslims. However, I now see the word, which is a form of dance originating in the fifteenth century, as a form of dance known by Nostradamus in the sixteenth century. The confusion comes from clearly seeing “Moor” as a connection to Islam and trying to make sense of the rest of the quatrain from that erroneous assumption.
The Wikipedia article on Morris dance states that the purpose behind this dance is unknown, but researchers are still trying to figure that out. It appears to be more popular in England, although there are ‘clubs’ that maintain Morris dance, where the Moorish reference says it was normal for clubs to dance in ‘black face.’ That usual custom has become frowned upon “because of Black Lives Matter” concerns (so recently). Rather than black, some now use red and blue; so, the wearing of something that masks the face has to be part of the lost meaning. Anything covering the face becomes symbolic of falseness.
One popular form of this dance involves swords, but a kind designed where each sword used is to be held by handles on both ends, in the hands of two opposing ‘sides’ of dancers. Some use canes which they beat rhythmically on poles lying on the ground, with drums being another part of the music accompanying the dance. This can make “Morris dance” be a comparative dance to the Russian Squat dance. That dance in old times was considered a ‘fight dance.’ People still today make wagers on who will win a dance-off of squatting.
When both of these dances are seen as an act of conflict being played out in dance, with the reference to Ukraine (Boristhenes) being directly related to this pretense of a sword fight or fight dance (Moriçque ), it says Russian and Ukraine (the leaders only, of course) have planned a war that appears real, but is really fake. As bad as losses of life being actual parts of a play in a ‘warfare dance’ would be impossible to think, IF that is true here (and I am not saying it is), the truth would come from the ending of Nostradamus’ quatrain (found stated in line four). There it says “gifts” will come from this ‘dance in Ukraine,’ importantly (the use of an &) through talks.
One element of Nostradamus’ plan, one that I have felt uneasy with for some time now, has been the breakup of the U.S.S.R. The Soviet Union entered an eight-year war in Afghanistan, which was impossible for them to win; and, a major reason that struggle was so difficult for them was American covertly armed the Afghan rebels (giving the Mujahedeen American-made Stinger missiles). To see that difficult war-occupation as reason for the Soviet Union to break apart is ludacris. Using the same logic, the United States should have broken apart equally, after it lost a struggle in Vietnam. The breakup became a favorable act for Moscow’s interest, which included a new way for infiltrating the USA and learning its military secrets. Poor Communists were welcomed with open arms and quickly given citizenship in America. Ronnie Reagan had defeated the Great Bear! Hooray! Hooray!
The strongest Soviet student – the most brainwashed and the most steroid-infested of Russia’s satellite minions – that broke away first was East Germany. It went from having a wall around Berlin to being reunited with West Germany almost overnight. Then, the reunited German had a former East German become Chancellor (Merkel). She now seems to have a high-ranking position with a company overseeing a gas pipeline between Russia and Germany. I have feared Germany was greatly compromised as a NATO nation – one of the strongest there had been – when East Germany blended its Communist mindset in with the Western mindset of West Germany.
With that in mind, a fake war between Russia and Ukraine could be the impetus for getting Ukraine approved to join NATO. To show how Ukraine is not about to roll over and die against big, powerful Russia, says they have the backbone that NATO can trust with special weaponry … the kind the Russians would love to copy and reproduce, as well as learn how to defend against. IF (a Big IF) Ukraine is a puppet for Putin, then there would be two wolves disguised as chickens in the Western (civilized world) henhouse: Germany and Ukraine. It would be a retelling of the Uncle Remus fable of Br’er Rabbit pleading with Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear, “Please don’t throw me in that briar patch!” Putin wants Ukraine in NATO, which is evidenced by his bold displays to the contrary.
I recall how Hollywood has recently been portraying Ukrainians as crime elements in the United States (Barry and Law & Order: Organized Crime come to mind now). All of this comes after the series called The Americans, where Russian spies in the USA, during the Reagan years, were depicted as ruthless murderers, completely without any moral fiber. They were that, while able to pretend to be normal peace-loving regular folk (who hated religion).
This is the “Red” theme of Nostradamus, where that color is relative to those who have absolutely no religious affiliation. This color matches the godless atheism of Communism. The problem with the U.S.S.R. and the Iron Curtain spending fifty years stripping the souls of the people from them, enslaving their minds to satanic principles ‘of State.’ This has been strongly entrenched in psyche of all born into those satellite countries and break-away parts of the Soviet Union, where the State’s brainwashing techniques were firmly placed. That documented history makes it be wishful thinking – religious hope – and hard to swallow that religion has somehow been kept alive in the hearts of the people. It is difficult to see that when the Church of Rome never lifted a finger to stop Communism (the Fatima warning), choosing instead to let Hitler address that issue for them. Sure, a desire to break free of Mother Russia is one thing; but to return to Christianity (after a system of education instilling that religion is a weakness) is not so easy to believe.
As another reference to Hollywood productions, the cable series Homeland showed how an American military person was captured and held by Muslims for five years, using indoctrination techniques designed to turn his mind away from capitalistic defense of democracy and towards submission to Allah. That level of brainwashing (as Hollywood as it may be) made that character be willing to blow himself up (along with U.S. V.I.P.s) for Allah. He did that plotting secretly, while pretending he was glad to be back home in the good ole U.S. of A. That is an example of the reality of brainwashing.
Supposedly, Sirhan Sirhan was programed to assassinate Robert Kennedy, as an MK Ultra guinea pig (C.I.A. project), claiming to have little memory afterwards of that murder he committed. Lee Harvey Oswald became the prototype for “lone gunman theory,” where he publicly said, “I’m a patsy,” before he was murdered while in police custody. Rather than ever take the possibility of conspiracy as serious (someone must be influencing these lone gunmen!), it has been easier to use the old Pravda technique: Deny everything, no matter how obvious. The movie The Manchurian Candidate was produced and released just prior to President John Kennedy’s assassination, which prompted the movie to be pulled from theaters after Oswald’s words began to sink in. Add to that C.I.A. lack of religious morals, the Russians are still portrayed by Hollywood as cold murderers, with no moral fiber.
Let’s hope everyone goes into the future with eyes wide open. I see the breakup of the Soviet Union as a long range plan, in a never ceasing Cold War, which is designed to ultimately crush the West in a slowly played ‘chess game.’ With the leadership the United States has now (quite literally covertly aided by foreign meddling in elections, in more than one way), whose ties to the Ukraine, Russia and China border on treasonous, it is a very uneasy feeling I get.
Certainly, the masses of peoples around the globe are the expendable pawns in the games and dances of power mongers. It is quite easy to feel sad for the way the world is a ruthless place, which always preys on the innocent. The people in power know the masses are simple lambs to be led to slaughter, for their exclusive benefit. The whole point of Nostradamus’ prophecies was not to prove how wonderful he was in accurately seeing the future. He was divinely inspired to see the result of times when Christianity had been beaten down to its knees, when no one would rise like a David and stay Goliath and save the day.
