A GIANT LEAP FORWARD

I am now convinced that Nostradamus 1503 is not a person, but is rather a sophisticated top secret breakthrough in artificial intelligence. After a bit of Googling, I was able to find the Owner's Manual:

After 1502 iterations of the Nostradamus program, scientists at a clandestine Republican research facility in Langley, VA have perfected the delivery of state of the art neocon lies. Each gleaming shard of spin is tapped out by an airline hangar full of rhesus monkeys shackled to typewriters with their brains exposed and wired to a central CPU. Much like teletype machines of the past, the output is then dumped into Mainstream as the ravings of Nostra, with each point seperated by ellipses.

Note...that...this...technique...has...been...seen...with...Brutelogic...as...well (which raises questions as to whether Brutie was version 1502). I didn't like the 1502 model much, but I must say that the addition of cursing and abusive language is certainly refreshing.
