    Not really :D but if you read t hrough the thread there was something on a missing person being found. I didnt feel that was related to my prediction though.

    Are you using magic powers to predict things or are these wild guesses??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,097 ✭✭✭Darragh29


    I'm going to make a prediction here based on a dream I had last night...

    My dream was that I was standing on O' Connell Street across the road from the GPO and a funeral cortage was driving down O' Connell Street, it was a state funeral, the coffin was on a military gun carriage and there were many black hearses behind the gun carriage. The size of the crowd along with the number of military involved with the funeral, indicated that it was either the Taoiseach or the President who had died.

    * Jade Goody will die this year. (Sorry for the pessimism, but the prognosis simply doesn't look good). :(


    ding ding ding,


    but looking at these predictions now they look .... well, very predictable, hindsight spose :D

    I predict,
    good weather this summer
    Ireland to qualify for the world cup finals
    A dub to win the Euromillions jackpot
    and a bad one
    Osama Bin Leden to raise his head again


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Well the Jade thing was said after news broke she was going to die. I remember because i heard it on the news first and then read it here.

    With regards best actor, it was really a 2 horse race.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭mysterious


    What I predict will happen;)
    • Btw the end of the year, Obama popularity will dwindle.
    • More talks with USA and EU, to bring the world currency a reality:(
    • Big companies all aound the world will further lose its global dominance.
    • Even greater fear mongering on Media networks in western countries.
    • This will be the first year the Elites will use new pilot schemes to introduce media channeling into the likes of Google/Youtube.
    • More censorship and control of the internet also.
    • Tensions will will rise between China and USA especially.
    • Money for the first time in history is showing signs of complete destruction. (it is my belief the money system will end, the global currency is a mechanism, which they are trying to implement so they can have further control of the monertary circulation on the planet.
    Well that's all I can say for now

    Conclusion, this year is about deception. It's going to be people who are trying to be aware of reality "stuck in the grey" people who are not aware, are either black and white about issues. The world has been shocked in 2001. Every year since, we have be experiencing this global shaking as I would call it. 2008 was the year where humanity is becoming aware of it now. It was the year when all that could go wrong went wrong. It was the year the Bush Admin left there mark and left office. But the ruling elites have begun the next step. 2009, a year where the ruling powers, have realised that the masses are slowly waking up


    2009 is going to be an interesting year;)

    1. Georgia will be a greater focal point for Obama's team.




    4. Iran's nuclear programme will expand, causing greater concern to the US; but the US will be too preoccupied with steadying the delicate situation with Hamas.

    And to top that, Iran's popularity amongst the people of the world will rise. The media brainwashing by the western media is only making the lies more apparent.;) Fool us with Iraq, Fool us with Iran, I don't think so.

    But again, this is the year of questioning.


    and military operatives - and its network of radical terrorists.

    6. Pope Benedict will experience some health scares from mid-2009 onwards.
    Nothing serious, I doubt that statement.

    7. Tom Cruise's box office success will diminish this year.
    Hollywood is already slumping.

    12. Ireland will vote 'yes' to Lisbon second time 'round.[/quote]

    No, it's actually going to be the opposite. People are waking up to the secret agenda with Lisbon.

    People are realising that the Nazis and all the old closets are opening and rising. EU want to swallow Ireland into its mouth. I don't believe people will be this stupid to vote yes, already after democratically voting no already.

    Is it?!

    The film studios are buying less movies and slackening off in their provision of jobs for people, that's been glaringly apparent, but moviegoers' attendance is stronger than ever.
    The former (less movies receiving backing) can actually only be a good thing because it will result in an emphasis on thoughtful quality over mindless quantity.

    2008 Vs 2009 opening weekend takings~ a few examples


    2008
    * 'Quantum Of Solace'- 27 million
    * 'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa'- 8.1 million

    2009
    * 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop'- 33.8 million
    * 'Gran Torino'- 22.2 million

    31 of the movies in this 362-numbered list (http://www.imdb.com/boxoffice/alltimegross?region=world-wide) of the all-time worldwide highest grossing films were released in 2008.

    This contrasts with a total of 14 films released in 1998, that are featured in the above list.

    http://blog.mlive.com/projectmayhem/2009/01/civilization_continues_to_crum.html


    Hollywood seems to holding up quite well, based on the recent and current takings.

    In any case, my 'prediction' DID NOT state, "Hollywood's overall box office success will diminish this year"- in actual fact, it read, "TOM CRUISE'S BOX OFFICE SUCCESS WILL DIMINISH THIS YEAR". See the difference? Apparently not

    2009 is the year of unpredictablity.


    Even the master pupeeteers don't know what to do after years of been in control. The NWO which was not created by ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIENS, it was some other race but not alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliens of course. are also off the ball. I mean race not aliens.


    But one prediction that is true, Obama just cant stop bull****ting.

    In October of 2010 a red star of unknown origin shall appear in the night sky. Its baleful glow will herald the doom of our race as ancient powers arise once more for a titanic battle over the blood of humanity.

    Natural disaster would suggest an earthquake, flood etc?

    There's always a way to shoehorn it in there.

    There have been 2 earthquakes so far this month with a rating in excess of 5 but fortunately little or no casualties.

    turbulence is that not natural?? my point is you predict a disaster (natural or otherwise) for june you where pretty close in my book


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭mysterious


    Well a few facts that are interesting, for whatever you believe of prohecies and 2012.

    Eactly 1600 bc, they were major catylsms in the known world. earthqaukes, floods and islands in the medditerainian collapsing that even includes much of Santorini. They were other events too, just can't remember them at this time.

    But what is interesting though the nibru/or red star phrophies, are linked to this, as every 3,600 our solar system hits the dense plane of the galaxy and our dwarf star orbit comes close to us where one of its planets flys by jupiter and mars, making the whole solar system wobble like jelly as it proceeds through our orbits.

    Again you can say the same, for 5,200 years ago, 8,800years ago and 11,400 years ago and so on. Our planet has cylces that brings great changes to our planet. Maybe this is why the eyptians and mayas were so obessed in predicting the future so they would survive such catylsms.


    So to my point. We are due another major event, i know we are, but I ask you what do you think. Do you think we will not get such an event because society is so stupid and arrogant in thinking that we the people would never think an event could happen. Society is a dumbing down agent. Watch the simpsons and drink some duff beer. If the asteroid comes society will tell us there is no life out there, no asteroids, no arrmageddens and no big blue cheese in ouir orbit.

    Just sit at home and watch CNN, because CNN holds all the info you need about life in general.

    Earthqaukes are on the rise, if you look at Italy and Mexico.. China last year. And England just off cornwall had a minor tremor too.

    The earth is getting more turbelant, and its not man made global warming that is causing it. It seems only natural to think more earthquakes will be common place if this is the pattern.

    Considering the global economy is in the toilet, that's not a hard prediction to make!
