Default Another prediction bites the dust

In this thread, this vague prediction was made:

Bummer than no major celebrities died. Wonder if Dutch will stop by to explain what went wrong???

He's already been asked that a number of times in the original thread and has responded with unintelligible verbiage about Sun-Kings, subconscious synchronicities, awakenings patterns, timecodes, markers, and various other usages of his own invention.

I'm sure all the world's pretzel manufacturers are breathing more easily now.

Meanwhile, the sentence, "I was wrong." doesn't appear to be part of his patterns of speech.

I preferred not to bump the Anna Nicole thread --- though I missed the fact that the prediction stemmed from yet a third thread.

Not if you want it time-stamped.

Yes...OK; I'm not seeing any predictions here, vague or otherwise.

If a prediction isn't time-stamped, it is useless. It serves only to allow the (supposed) prophet to claim victory when a random event happens to meet their criteria. (for example "Look at me, I predicted Anna's death before she died" or "Look at him, he predicted the 9/11 attacks in those vague quatrains that no one knew was about 9/11 until after 9/11 occurred.)

Useless things are just that: useless. And they are nothing to crow about.

Are you implying that we are to take Dutch's post literally? That Dutch was merely advising us to keep our eyes open during the day, instead of walking around with them closed??? Or do I mis-understand you?

Here, I'll lead you to the water.

1) Nowhere Man asks if any "psychic" predicted her death.
2) Dutch replies that yes, the date of her death shows "a correlation" that we should all think about
3) Nowhere Man chastises him for "predicting" after the event./
4) Dutch replies that the event is a marker, "hooked on a timecoded event", and too keep our eyes open on Feb 23-24.
5) Dutch then numerically analyses Anna's Death, JFK's death, Saddam's death, and concludes again that on Feb 23-24, an "exit of Sunking" event will occur.

I'd call that a prediction. I'd also call that vague. Don't you??

I interpret that as predicting that some notable event (which ties is with Anna's death

No, I'm definitely not agreeing. If Dick Cheney died of a heart attack on Feb 24 (or even from that bomb on the 25/26 -- close enough) do you or do you not think Dutch would be crowing that that death was an "end of Sunking" event and that we should all applaud his prescience?

Of course he would. And of course we shouldn't. That is WHY he made a vague and general prediction. Prediction: Some event will occur somewhere around this date. I mean C'MON!

I don't see how Sarongsong is agreeing with Dutch either.

"Prophets" have been using that technique for ages. But Dutch is missing one key ingredient. Making the vague "prediction" so that it can, in hindsight, fit any possible future event is just the first part. The second part is finding a receptive and gullible audience. Apparently, he think/thought he could find that here. But a science based community is the wrong place to go to try to "show off your powers".

Actually in all fairness, the thread was started by Orphia Nay- Dutch came along to defend himself.

February 23 is a key date on the ongoing 'exit of sun king' timecoded pattern.
The Anna Nicole marker made me connect the Kennedy assassination to feb 23. Also, february 23 is a keydate on the ongoing awakenings pattern related to Bush's Presidency. Just prior to the date this Kennedy film was released, just after it we had this minor plane problem for Cheney and this al quaida plot to kill Blair, another Sun King. At the same time new info emerged as the OKC could have been an inside job. The stage is set, the ongoing 'exit of Sun king ' timecoded pattern will be monitored and when key dates on this pattern will coincide with the other elements of Design I will mention it on the timeline, like I already did for HD Tetrahedron date April 21.

Everyone got that?

Any questions?

I'm reminded of a certain Ms. Lieder, who, when Planet X didn't show up on May 23, 2003, starting pushing back the predicted date of arrival. Eventually the number of "re-predictions" got to the point where most of her former true believers stopped beliving her. The only remaining true believer in her predictions was Ms. Lieder. Of course her dog would probably have still believed her but he was dead.

Even funnier than the original. I don't know whether this falls into the "NEW AND IMPROVED SCREAMING AT YOU COMMERCIALS" category, or if I should say:

"AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH, he found this thread."

I think it is proof of his Superpowers.

Wonder if he uses the usual search tools to find threads where people mention his name, or whether he finds them through superhyperdimensional golden timespiral synchronicity calculations.

Speaking of which, anybody going to see the Police?

I did pick up tickets for Blue Man Group for later this month. Taking the kids, should be a lot of fun. Saw one of their shows on the telly and the visuals were very neat. Should be cool in person.

Well, if you're not too picky in your definition, you can get them to show up to your door.

No, I'm very definite, here. That's Police with a capital "P," please. (Though I wouldn't mind having them show up at my door!)
