I NEED A BETTER ACT | 2005-12-04
Read the ten steps I wrote down in Prediction ( "What Might Happen)." Try to put yourself back to September 12, 2001 when the whole world was on America's side. Even Aran terrists were distancing themselves from the perpetrators. The world has never been so pro-American, before or since.
This is the problem with every prediction I make. By the time it comes true, everybody has totally forgotten what everybody else was saying when I made it. Everybody says that they, or "somkebody they know" said exactly the same thing.
Because it seems so obvius now, it seems so obvious then.
Maybe I have the wrong technique. If I had a picture of over a deck of Faro cards straining and sweating to see a glimpse of the futre, it wold be a lot more convincing.
Almost exactly three years before September 11, 2001 I wrote a piece for whitakeronline called "Superterrorism." It was reprinted on Septemeber 11, 2001 and it is the archives. Suddenly every possibility I discussed in that article became front page news.
I wish I had a picture of me in a turban straining over a crystal ball while writing THAT article.
Or maybe somebody can get his nose out of the latest news and listen to me without a circus act.
It doesn't make me very happy to keep seeing disasters coming and then watching them happen.
