1. Did Nostradamus predict the deaths of the Kennedy brothers?

2. The Quatrain The great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt, An evil deed, foretold by the bearer of a petition. According to the prediction, another falls at night time. Conflict at Reims, London, and pestilence in Tuscany.

3. Connections “great man” - JFK was President/ wealthy family “struck down in the day” - killed in the afternoon “thunderbolt” – gunshot “petition” – refers to death threats “another falls” – Robert Kennedy killed 5 years later “conflict at Reims, London” – worldwide ramifications

4. Skeptics’ Views No mention of “Kennedy” – could be any great leader killed during the day Does not specify “another” is a relative – could be interpreted to mean anyone else No mention of time period or place – vague enough to apply to many circumstances Not clear how the deaths contributed to conflict at Reims and London or pestilence in Tuscany.

5. Conclusions Too vague!!
