American astrologer Predicted Japan Earthquake

Quote:
"The New Moon of May 3 shows that real estate values continue to plunge. Many people who have been unable to sell their homes will ultimately go into foreclosure after two years of being unable to meet mortgage payments.

The transits of Spring 2011 also show a worsening of the employment picture, particularly for the west coast and the state of California. Much of the economic damage done over the years begins to come to a head in 2011.

There is simply no let up from the severe economic climate during the spring of 2011.

The Gemini transits of June show many more people on the roads, relocating from regions that are economically depressed seeking new lives and careers.

So, if you want to get ahead of all the traffic, then the month of March is better used than is June to make those changes."

Quote:
"Perhaps a new entertainer, film, artwork, or piece of music will capture the public imagination in a very big way this Spring, with vivid imagination and romance prominent. (Can Justin Bieber get bigger?)"

Amazing! Is there no end to this man's predictive powers? Who would have thought that there could be a box office hit in the spring? Why anyone could take this crap seriously is beyond me.

Of course Justin Bieber will get bigger. He's only 17!

His hair has gotten smaller,a lot of his fans have taken umbrage. I'm surprised that the all-knowing seer didn't predict it. Now that it has happened,it wouldn't surprise me if he did predict it now.

A pile. What pile? What's shocking is that Joey is That's what's shocking.

I am going to be your new god in a minute.

In new york, within the next 30 days, someone is going to be attacked by an edged weapon. This edged weapon will be smooth bladed versus serrated, and the attack will end up with the person in the hospital as opposed to dead. The victim will be male, between the ages of 25-36. And the attacker will have no formal training with edged weapons. The knife itself will be small enough to conceal in a jacket pocket.

That prediction is much more specific than the one busted out by your astrologer, and will happen. Do i get to say i am psychic now?

I predict that professional astrologers will continue to fleece money from the gullible. Thy ought to be made to make an accurate prediction before they are allowed to practice. That would stop them in their tracks.

I predict that in mid-Apiril, on a cloudy, rainy day in Florida, Astro will come back with another "hit" to rub in our faces. I calculate about about a 91.453% chance of this.

 

[sadhatter]

Yes,you amaze me!

You think that is good? You should see my true blood predictions i am legit rocking sylvia's 80% success rate.

( on a few forums i havn't let the cat out of the bag as to what i am using to base my guesses on and people have some funny theories.....)

To Astro Teacher: This is the "spaghetti" method of prediction -- grab a big handful of spaghetti and throw it at the wall. Some will stick.

The human mind has a tendency to see the one or two hits and attribute significance to it, ignoring the myriad other predictions that did not come true.

I would like to state that I am also a psychic. I will prove it:


Someday in the future, there will be a hurricane in Florida.





...

Wait for it. When it happens, you will come back apologizing for not believing in me.

Ha! I can beat that. I told the people at work on Friday that it would rain on Saturday. This was a difficult prediction, because at the time, it was sunny and lovely.

And it did rain. It bucketed down. So much so that I was very greatful for the raincoat and waders I wore goosehunting - that I only took with me because of my eerie prediction ....

And I resorted to ... mystic means to determine what the weather would be. I consulted the spirits of the air and sea. I examined the charts and learned that there was an occluded front approaching NZ from the Tasman see at approximately 10 knots. Atmospheric pressure was falling. The cloud cover associated with the front was significant.

Clearly, rain and rain soon was in my immediate future.

BUT - when I made the prediction, it was sunny!!

So - a specific prediction, correct to within hours, of an atmospheric event that could not possibly have been guessed at by looking out of the window! And I posted my prediction here on a forum, after the event as proof.

My non-cannyness knows no bounds.

Hi Astro Teacher. I think one thing that would be helpful right now is for Mr. White to predict when and where the next big earthquake (say magnitude 7+) will happen. Is there anywhere on his site where he makes a specific prediction about this? If so, and the prediction subsequently comes true, I for one will be a lot more open to the possibility that Mr. White has the predictive ability he claims. Further, such a prediction could open the eyes of the world, and actually save lives -- which, if I were in Mr. White's position, would be my primary objective; he must feel very frustrated at the moment that he had the power to prevent the loss of thousands of lives (and maybe more if the nuclear situation in Japan worsens) but could not do so.

Unfortunately, people claiming after the fact to have predicted a major world event are a dime a dozen. Mr. White can distinguish himself from that lot by offering a before-the-fact prediction, one that is specific, unlikely, and unambiguous. (Again, the world is full of people making vague, ambiguous predictions that could be interpreted in all sorts of ways, or ones that when you boil them down predict events that are all but inevitable.)

So if it is not an imposition, can you point out a prediction now residing on Mr. White's site that hasn't happened yet, and fulfills the aforementioned criteria of specificity and unlikelihood?

He predicted the earthquakes in China and Japan, with the dates and magnitudes before the quakes happened. If that's not enough for anyone then you're not a skeptic at all, just faking being a skeptic.

White also predicts an earthquake in California in April and gave specific dates. I don't see what is "vague" and "ambiguous" about that.

You can choose to listen to him or not and save your own life, but seeing how he predicted the Japan quake, if I were living in California I wouldn't sit on my hands saying how "vague" he is when he gave specific dates.

Most of the comments are not from skeptics but from people who just don't want to believe anything at all and childish at that. So why even bother to comment at all?

The man gave dates, regions and magnitudes. If anyone of you has done this and had it happen then I sure would like to see it proved on what is supposed to be James Randi's serious critical forum.

Can anyone do better other than writing silly comments like "Ha! I can beat that. I told the people at work on Friday that it would rain on Saturday?"

You call comments like that and others to be seriously skeptical?

Those are the comments of 8 year olds.

Reiteration does not improve an argument.

 

[jsfisher]

He predicted the earthquakes....

Let's consider the claims:

Specific date? Well, no. Any of 20 possible days over a 61 day period. Plus there is enough faith in the true believers that near misses (like March 10) would count as hits.

Specific location? Well, no. We have China, Japan, the Philippines, the Aleutian Islands, British Columbia, California, Mexico, and the entirety of South America.

Specific magnitude? Well, no. 6.6-9.2 is a broad range. Basically, anything that would qualify as a significant earthquake would count.

So, what do we have? A prediction that there will be a significant earthquake in the "ring of fire" somewhere in March or April. Not bad, eh? Well, according to the USGS, there are 150 significant earthquakes per year--one every two or three days--and most of them are in the ring of fire.

We have a prediction to expect at least one of something, somewhere over a two month period that history says we should experience once every few days.

Why does this impress you, Astro Teacher?

He gave a vague series of predictions and then retro fitted bits to the Japanese quake.Anybody can fiddle with a website. Please point me to a prediction he has made about the future,starting now with the correct time date and place and nature of the event. Bet you can't.

 

[fuelair]

I gave a link. And I don't feed trolls like you BTMO.

I was not worried about posting in this silliness until I saw the quote above-they've already asked you to link to the specific prediction and you linked to 55000 words. You have a load of gall referring to THEM as trolls. And I hope the next time you pop out Billy Goat Gruff is waiting for you!!!

 

[GeeMack]

No, he absolutely did not. It would be completely ignorant of reality or a lie to claim that he did. He named a 46 day period, about 1/8 of a whole year. Dozens of quakes greater than 6.6 can be expected in a year, certainly several within his huge time frame. And within that time span he covered his ass by selecting 59.5% of all the available dates. Not a particular date. Almost 60% of all the available dates. It was a virtual certainty that his "prediction" would come to pass.

He didn't predict anything that some reasonably bright grade school kid couldn't have predicted with greater accuracy using a popular web site and a pocket calculator. The only thing he really succeeded in doing was duping a lot of believers, gullible people, stupid people, and willfully ignorant people into believing in magic. And apparently he did that very well.

 

[Sledge]

Astro Teacher, can you post the specific prediction that was made? Just a couple of sentences of something like "I predict an earthquake of X magnitude will strike Y location on Z date"? I can't seem to find that on the site you linked to.

It's not there,our modern day Nostradamus did not mention anything specific. It's an astrologer's thing.

The only thing he really succeeded in doing was duping a lot of believers, gullible people, stupid people, and willfully ignorant people into believing in magic. And apparently he did that very well.

He named specific dates in a two-month period. There are 12 months in a year, so he could not obviously name any dates outside of the year and he predicted the regions and magnitudes. The Japan earthquake happened on March 11. He named the country, the magnitude and the date.

How can "some reasonably bright grade school kid couldn't have predicted with greater accuracy using a popular web site and a pocket calculator." ???

How can it be that "he absolutely did not" and "not accurate" when he did predict the Japan quake before it happened and on the very day it happened?

You non-believers are just as bad as believers - eyes always closed and minds closed even tighter. That is not being a skeptic at all but just ignorant.

"During the entire month of March 2011 we can expect to hear of powerful earthquakes along the 'Ring of Fire.'

In March, look first to Asia for seismic action in the northern hemisphere - China and Japan, then to the Philippines, along to the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, to British Columbia, Canada, then to California in the United States, stretching down to Mexico and into South America.

With the global transits at hand, there are sure to be powerful, large magnitude earthquakes in the months of March and April.

My astrological calculations show a 88.9% rating for significant seismic activity between 6.6 to 7.9+ in magnitude.

There are additional planetary configuration signals I've interpreted that show even stronger quakes by scale - 8.9 to 9.2 in magnitude. Some people will not believe me, but transits are well within astrological red-zone warning range.
