PREDICTIONS FOR 2001

(Posted January 3, 2001)

PSYCHIC PREDICTIONS FOR SPECIFIC MONTHS, OR EVEN SOMETIMES YEARS, DO NOT ALWAYS MANIFEST DURING THE TIMES DESIGNATED AND COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN AT OTHER TIMES DURING THE PRESENT OR ANOTHER YEAR. TIMING IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ASPECTS OF PSYCHIC PREDICTION.  EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW WHEN, BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE TIMING.  IMPORTANT EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF AN INDIVIDUAL, NATION, OR EVEN THE WORLD CAN OFTEN BE SENSED OR INTUITIVELY KNOWN, BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE TIME OR EXACT PLACE WHERE SUCH EVENTS WILL TAKE PLACE.

 

1999 PREDICTION : IN EARLY NOVEMBER TERRORIST ACTS ROCK A MAJOR U.S. CITY. 2000 PREDICTION: SUMMER PORTENDS TERRORIST ACTS IN EUROPE AND POSSIBLY THE UNITED STATES: September 11, 2001: CNN: "TERRORISTS DESTROY THE WORLD TRADE CENTER IN NEW YORK CITY AND A PORTION OF THE PENTAGON IN WASHINGTON, DC, BY HIJACKING COMMERCIAL AIRPLANES AND CRASHING THEM INTO THESE BUILDINGS. Hundreds or even thousands are dead, untold injuries. It was my immediate sense that OSAMA BIN LADEN was responsible for this horror! Predictions made in one year can happen in another, as my clients can readily testify. These predictions were posted on this site in 1999 and 2000. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this HORRENDOUS TRAGEDY.

"They took me in an armored car to the police station. They threw the copy of the Holy Qur’an on the ground while searching my bag and put me in a solitary cell," Al-Ghamdi told Okaz newspaper. He added that they did not allow him to contact the Saudi Embassy in Copenhagen. Mistreatment of Arabs and Muslims, especially Saudis, has become a daily occurrence in the United States and Europe, despite assurances by top government officials that they are being protected. Why is the world acting like this, and why is the U.S. press demonstrating such lack of international diplomacy in articles being published about different Muslim and Arab groups? These articles are not helping the cause of America and Americans around the world. 11/11 TELEGRAPH, UK: "BIN LADEN: YES, I DID IT: OSAMA BIN LADEN HAS FOR THE FIRST TIME ADMITTED THAT HIS AL-QA'EDA GROUP CARRIED OUT THE ATTACKS ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER AND THE PENTAGON."  11/13 AOL News, AP: "TALIBAN FLEE KABUL, ALLIANCE MOVES IN: Capping their lightning-quick victories in the north, Afghan opposition fighters rolled into Kabul on Tuesday after Taliban troops slipped away under cover of darkness, abandoning the capital without a fight.

President Bush had urged the opposition to stay out of the capital until a new, broad-based government could be formed to replace the Taliban...THE RISE AND FALL OF THE AFGHAN TALIBAN: They banned music and television.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

A NATION MOURNS, SHOCKED AND STUNNED,
ACTS OF WAR COMMITTED BY MADMEN
WILL NOT BE CONDONED BY A JUST WORLD!

After reflecting on the various images that came to me while meditating on predictions for 2001, I now realize that some of those images were predicted out-of-time, and actually referred to the ATTACK ON AMERICA:

"Rise in TERRORIST ACTIVITIES and/or EXPLOSIVE PATTERNS."

"Late May, the ANGEL OF DEATH will visit, taking large numbers."

"DEATH RULES in the SOUTH, with FIRE in the AIR or SKY, in or under the GROUND." The American Airline flights that originated in Boston were flown SOUTH to New York by the TERRORIST PILOTS and into the WORLD TRADE CENTER TWIN TOWERS, creating FIRE in the AIR or SKY, in or under the GROUND with the collapse of the TWIN TOWERS that smolder still (9/13/01). WASHINGTON, DC and the state of VIRGINIA where THE PENTAGON was ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS using a United Airlines plane as a BOMB are considered to be located in "the South," both are south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

"PLUNDER in AUGUST must be stopped from ON HIGH." Immediately following the TERRORIST ATTACKS in New York City and Washington, DC, on 9/11, the Federal Aviation Administration cancelled all flights in the United States, while fully armed U.S. military planes patrolled the skies above the targeted cities. No other commercial or private airplanes were going to be allowed to be used as missiles or bombs in ACTS OF WAR against the American government and the American people from ON HIGH.

"Unexpected DRAMATIC CHANGES could well involve the THREAT OF WAR." ACTS OF WAR have been committed against the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The governments of the world are now uniting in an effort to blot out international terrorism. President Bush, the Congress and Senate of the United States, and the U.S. Military and NATO Alliances prepare to retaliate for these horrendous acts committed against not only the AMERICAN PEOPLE but against all HUMANITY. The World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City housed office complexes for businesses from 80 countries besides the United States. Thousands of civilians from around the world have lost their lives due to these horrendous ACTS OF TYRANNY. 9/15 AOL News: "The Taliban supreme leader in Afghanistan has urged Muslims there and around the world to face the threat of U.S. attacks firmly and to prepare for jihad (holy war). The terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden, is being sheltered in Afghanistan." 9/16 NY Times: "Bush Warns That Coming Conflict Will Not Be Short." "Pakistani's Anti-Terror Support Avoids Vow of Military Aid." "Holy Warriors Escalate an Old War on a New Front." 9/26 Reuters, Jakarta: "War on terrorism, or war on Islam?: The U.S. vow that war on terrorism is not war on Islam may have fallen on deaf ears as cries of jihad, or holy war, resound across the Muslim world...Attacks on U.S. to hit HK hard: The Hong Kong government warned on Wednesday that deadly attacks on the United States would have severe repercussions on the territory's economy with pre-Christmas export figures and tourism already suffering." 9/30 Observer, UK: "U.S. and Britain to attack terror camps in days: Attack limited to camps found by special forces." 10/1 NY Times: "Defense Secretary Rumsfield Warns of Unconventional Attacks: chemical, biological or nuclear...U.S. and Pakistan Discuss Nuclear Security...New Military Systems May be Tested in Field in 'War Against Terrorism'" 10/3 The Times, UK: "Satellite 'picks out bin Laden caves.'"

NY Times Quote of the Day: 'I do not know about Osama, he's not in my pocket. If you know, please how me. I'll chase him,': COMMANDER HAZARAT ALI, Afghan military leader in Bora Tora... U.S. Officials Say Al Qaeda Routed From Afghanistan."

In spite of the traumatic plunge of the Nasdaq in 2000 and its instability so far in 2001 (July 21, 2001), it is my definite intuitive impression that the Nasdaq will get back to 5,000 and eventually go to 10,000, while the DOW climbs to 15,000 and eventually to 25,000...in the next few years. Investors just need to "keep the faith," and listen to the Still Small Voice Within when it comes to picking stocks! The second half of 2002 and most of 2003 bode well for the world economy.

In 2000 I predicted that Al Gore would be the next president.  11/12 DRUDGE REPORT: BIG MEDIA FLORIDA RECOUNT: GORE TOPPED BUSH IF ALL UNDER/OVER VOTES COUNTED; LEGAL STRATEGY DESTROYED CHANCES: A vote-by-vote review of untallied ballots in the 2000 Florida presidential election commissioned by the nation's main media outlets shows Al Gore edged ahead of George W. Bush "under all the scenarios for counting all undervotes and overvotes statewide," the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. Bush would have narrowly prevailed in the partial recounts sought by Gore, but Gore could have "reversed the outcome--by the smallest of margins--had he pursued and gained a complete statewide recount," according to one interpretation of the database compiled by the monstermedia consortium. [Each media outlet will produce a news analysis based on the database product. Check out CNN, NYT, World Tribune, Washington Post.] My feeling during the recount was that Gore should have toughed it out, since my gut told me that he had won. Perhaps he's relieved not to be in the driver's seat at this moment in time??? 5/26/2002 The recent revelations concerning ignored F.B.I. information about middle eastern pilots training in Arizona prior to the attacks of 9/11 will cost GEORGE W. BUSH the next election.

2001 will be a year of SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS and TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT far beyond our wildest dreams! There will be good reasons for CELEBRATION around the world!

August 31 Reuters Health, UK: "Researchers Use Quartz Crystals to "Hear" Viruses: For years doctors have used stethoscopes to hear the heart beating, but one day they may be able to listen for sounds of viral infections, according to a report from the UK. The listening technology is rapid and accurate and should be relatively cheap to develop, the study's authors explain.  Dr. Matthew A. Cooper and colleagues at the University of Cambridge, UK, based their detection method on quartz crystals. These crystals vibrate when exposed to an electric field. As the electric field strengthens, the vibrations increase. The vibrations grow even stronger when an additional mass is attached to the crystals. Cooper's team coated quartz crystals with an antibody that attracts a type of herpes virus. Once viruses attached to the quartz, the researchers increased the intensity of the electric field. The goal of the intensification was to trigger the virus to break free from the quartz. Using the quartz as a miniature microphone, the researchers were able to hear the sounds produced as viruses broke away from the quartz. In fact, they were able to tell from the sound how many viruses were present. The technique, known as rupture event scanning, was so sensitive that it could tell whether only a single virus was present." Is the New Age finally coming of age?

MAJOR BUSINESS MERGERS take place in JANUARY.  1/11 Associated Press: My 2000 prediction of a January 2000 major merger that turned out to be AOL and Time-Warner was finally sanctioned.

Late JANUARY, there will be a LIFE SAVING DISCOVERY that comes through a seeming "mistake." There are no accidents or mistakes, only KARMA unfolding.

In early FEBRUARY, HIGH DRAMA involves a prominent MALE CELEBRITY. 2/5 NY Times: "Former Packer Chmura Found Innocent of Rape Charge."  2/6 NY Times, Israel: "Man in the News: Ariel Sharon, Hawk, Commander, and Finally, Prime Minister." 6/19 "War Crimes Case Filed in Belgium Against Ariel Sharon by Palestinian Refugees from Israel's 1982 Invasion of Lebanon."

Early-mid FEBRUARY there will be the loss of a MALE CELEBRITY who will be mourned around the world. 2/16 AP: "Dr. William H. Masters, one of the first and leading researchers in the field of human sexuality (Masters & Johnson), died.

In MARCH the STOCK MARKET SOARS. (3/17/01) My present sense is that the Nasdaq will bottom out at 1800-1900, but the DOW could go as low as 8500. I hope I'm wrong about the DOW! 3/27 Hardly a "soar"--at least a recovery!  9/19 The week the Stock Market re-opened (9/17) after the ATTACK ON AMERICA the DOW dropped below 8500 and the Nasdaq slipped below 1500.

An unexpected SADNESS grips the hearts of the people in MARCH. With the spread of foot and mouth disease to France, Argentina, and India, and the revelation of the use of cow parts possibly infected with Mad Cow Disease in so many pharmaceuticals in the U.K. (reported by BBC News) this prediction could well apply. My heart goes out to all those farmers, ranchers and individuals involved.

In MARCH the world will suffer the loss of a FAMOUS POLITICAL or PUBLISHING FIGURE. 3/18 CNN Headline News: "John Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas dead of a heart attack at 65: singer, songwriter, published many hit songs." 3/21 NY Times: "Richard Harwood, Washington Post Ombudsman, Dies at 75...brought the determination and cunning of a combat marine to reporting and editing, and finally, to policing his own newspaper for editorial missteps." 3/24 CNN: "Rowland Evans, influential columnist and TV commentator, dead at 79."  7/17 Washington Post: "The Washington Post's Katharine Graham Dies at 84." 8/8 CNN: "Maureen Reagan, President Reagan's daughter by first wife, Jane Wyman, dead at 60 from cancer." 8/16 AP/CNN: "Congressman Floyd Spence Dead, South Carolina Representative was 73."

Mid-MAY there will be BIG EXCITEMENT that resounds around the planet. The big excitement in May was the prospects of a full fledged war in the Middle East! Not a fun experience for anyone.

Late MAY, the ANGEL OF DEATH will visit, taking large numbers. (March 15) I have recently received emails from people suggesting this may have something to do with the destruction of so many animals around the world due to Foot-and-Mouth disease. This is a terrible tragedy for the animals and the farmers involved. 3/16 Reuters: "Britain Starts Mass Slaughter of Animals: Up to one million animals may be put to death as foot-and-mouth outbreak spreads."

And what you really need to do is start a big demonstration, fast. What do you do? You gather a crowd by 'texting' people, which is typing and sending them very short messages, using the readout screen on a cell phone or a pager with a tiny keyboard. It's cheaper than actually calling everyone you know and can be used to reach many people at once, so it takes less time. 'You're talking about being able to access somebody no matter where they are, no matter what time of the day it is, no matter whether they're at work, at home, whether they're walking down the street,' says Josh Newman, the editor of unstrung.com, a company that follows this technology. American Airlines has begun using text messaging by sending messages to passengers if their flights are delayed."
