Prophecy from three months ago: "I saw an attempt on his life, THIS BULLET FLEW BY HIS EAR and it came so close to his head that it busted his eardrum" (www.youtube.com)

Why the downvotes?

This was +5, then a bunch of downvotes hit.

Probably guys that are very anti religion.

I just recognise it's not for me whilst being moral, A LOT of others can't do that.

Funny thing is, I'm not making any statement one way or the other. In no way should this be taken as a call for religion, or involving religion in any way.

I just find it fascinating someone made such an accurate prediction.

You can think this was God Speaking Through Him, you can think it was lucky coincidence. I don't care, I don't even know myself.

I just thought it was pretty interesting. Maybe if I'd made that more clear, I could have dodged some downvotes...I just didn't think I had to spell it out; I figured people could watch the clip, and make up their own minds. Or at least call me crazy, or something.

Whatever.

I'd like to hear more of their predictions given they were quite accurate.

Especially any involving 'great fire' and 'cities' as I'd like time to be outside any blast and fallout radius...

These kind of prophecies are just your brain putting the pieces together.

A shooter isn't going to go for Trump's center of mass because they believe he has some kind of bulletproof armor on.

They're either going to hit or have a near miss. If it's way off it's not taken seriously. So it wizzes by his ear.

He'll have less security and be out campaigning more in the summer.

Same thing with Alex Jones predicting the trade towers. How else would you even take down a skyscraper other than the airplanes? It was a known target so every other vector was defended against. If it's clear in hindsight then your brain can figure it out at the time.

Exactly.

I don't believe in any prophecy outside the Bible, but come on, this is worth discussing.

I didn't downvote you, but I didn't upvote it either. It should be allowed to be talked about, that's all I'm saying.

(I did upvote your comment, though)

Modern "prophets" are largely seen as scam artists. I imagine some people here (or perhaps one with multiple accounts) will automatically disapprove of this being taken seriously.
These prophets can throw out a ton of predictions and then claim expertly magical foresight when something hits, sort of like what Beanie man occasionally does.

Yeah, but the scam is usually to be pretty vague. 'There will be a failed assassination on Trump, he will be hit in the ear by a bullet, he will fall down' is a pretty risky bet, if you're just bullshitting.

Again, not even saying it's real, just that it's interesting.

The internet is those thousand monkeys all on typewriters, just scaled up several magnitudes so enough shit gets said that something eventually ends up being a prediction of something else. Topical matters like a controversial presidential candidate in an election year are bound to produce a shit ton of these kind of "prophecies" that too many will jump on as some kind of revelation despite it being a drop in an ocean of bullshit.

Putting aside the options where he's a true prophet OR he's a true believer but he's wrong, scamming something like this is not as risky as it seems, because if it doesn't happen, who would have heard of him? Who would go back and say "Look at this guy, he was bullshitting!" And, even if someone did, who would care? The guy would say "Yeah, I had a dream, I thought it was prophetic, turns out it wasn't, oh well, no one bats a thousand." Then he'd point at some of his other predictions that look good and emphasize those. The other big thing is that in this case it turns out he was really on the money, but that doesn't mean he had to be for it to work. With any assassination attempt that got anywhere near, he could say "look, he nearly got killed just like in my dream," and of course "someone is going to try to kill Trump and make a decent attempt of it" is a much safer bet.

If you denied all the prophets, all the time, you'd only be wrong rarely.

As Soctactic said, some people still want to separate what's going on from the religious aspects. It all converges whether people like it or not.

All you can do is say your piece, keep your peace, and move on about your life.

Same reason my speculations in the other thread and the thread itself were smothered with downvotes, information like this complicates the narratives being pushed

Your "speculation" was pure retardation. Genuinely are you a euro, or just a noguns? Deliberately shooting someone in the head non lethally is a complete fucking no-go for a "fake assassination attempt". To throw your own "logic" back at you, if it was a fake attempt why the hell would they shoot him in the head instead of doing one of any number of easier, less dangerous methods?

Yes, and Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman

Lee harvey oswald being a patsy for a deliberate assassination has no relation to the pure lunacy of suggesting that the attempt on trump (that came within a stiff breeze of succeeding ) was a false flag.

You have never shot a rifle, that much is obvious.

Because it's dumb and silly. Most of what he said could have been told to you by half of this board, but without all the frill.
