"THE WTC TRAGEDY: WAS IT PROPHESIED?" > Page 1, 2
Song
Lyrics and Album Covers
It is inevitable when some
great tragedy strikes that by coincidence a previously created work of art,
fiction or music will be seen as a foretelling. One of the most famous examples
of this was a short story called "Futility" by Morgan Robertson that
eerily foretold the sinking
of the Titanic. In the story, written 12 years before the Titanic
disaster, Robertson wrote of a ship called the Titan that met its fate by
striking an iceberg on its starboard side and sinking. In size and capacity,
along with many other parallels, the Titan's resemblance to Titanic
is uncanny.

Other Paranormal Events Surrounding the September 11 Tragedy In addition to all the sad news about the WTC and Pentagon attacks, the Internet has been active with a number of paranormal stories related to the events: • A video image of the burning World Trade Center captured by CNN cameras revealed a demon-like face in the cloud of smoke. • Matt Drudge in his web-based Drudge Report reported on a "mystery object" that was caught on tape seconds after the second WTC tower was struck. • Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country website carries an article on "The Mystery of Eleven and the Attack on America," which lists the many instances the number 11 crops up in this event. • Long Island's newspaper, Newsday, has reported that several New Yorkers have seen "ghosts" of the WTC's twin towers at night. |
Similarly, song lyrics and an album cover have been cited as being predictive of the WTC attack. A song called "Mesias" (Messiah), written and performed by Guatemalan pop artist Ricardo Arjona, contains lyrics that have some interesting similarities to the WTC case:
The Messiah was born in New York
He drives an armored car out of precaution
The Pope fears some massive loss. ...
[The Messiah] is preparing a blow, and no one knows the date. ...
He has an associate in Japan, another in Afghanistan
He speaks with God daily through the Internet
He promotes change and he's made enemies.The Church accuses him of heresy
And the Pentagon [accuses him] of [being a] terrorist. ...
It's on the front page of the New York Times
And a cloud of doubt casts a shadow on the sun.
An album cover that was planned for an upcoming release by the hip hop group The Coup is far more disturbingly accurate. The cover art for the album "Party Music," created about two months ago, depicts two members of the group posed in front of the World Trade Center's twin towers, which are exploding. The fire and smoke billowing from the buildings in the artwork are startlingly similar to the photos and video taken shortly after the second terrorist-controlled plane struck the towers. The coincidence - or foreshadowing - is astonishing. The label, 75 Ark, has decided not to use the artwork on the album cover.
The
"Cursed" Towers
Psychic Joyce Keller believes that
a colleague predicted the fate of the WTC. "During the time that the WTC
was being built, around 1973," says Joyce, "I was in a NYC meditation
class conducted by a pretty well-known psychic, Irwyn Greif. He was also employed
by New York City as a building inspector. During one of his classes, he said,
'Do not go into the WTC after it is constructged. It will come down
in our lifetime. It is cursed!' Mr. Greif currently lives in Florida.
I e-mailed him after 9/11 to congratulate him on his accurate but extremely
tragic prediction. I was in the WTC quite a few times, and knew that his prediction
would be correct, but did not know the time. I was in the WTC a few days before
9/11 and became extremely nauseous and upset, and felt the attack would be imminent.
I also realized that there was no way it could be prevented."
Astrologer
Predicts "Shocking news"
In July, 2000, astrologer
Louis Turi posted some predictions on his website about disastrous events that would take place
in September, 2001. Turi, who claims to make "predictions in the art of
Nostradamus," made this
forecast, in part:
Bad news ahead for any and all denominations where religious figures will “pass over.” In 1998 the same type of celestial energy produced a murder in the Vatican followed by a suicide, which forced the Pope to address to the world in sadness. The Middle East "US surprising bombing attack" on Saddam Hussein forces in Iraq also took place under these circumstances. This energy can affect sophisticated electronic equipment and produce a bad aeronautic accident. Deception, illusion and secret affairs are on the agenda. The same Neptunian energy produced the Valdez disaster and the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Expect a general feeling of hopelessness plaguing the media and the church authorities. Deceiving news will take place and affect many of us; some desperate souls will fall for Neptune’s suicidal tendency and some will end up in jail or a mental institution. This trend will be very difficult for some, but do not lose faith in yourself and trust the Universe; get all the help you can to fight Neptune’s depressive tendencies; amuse yourself, keep busy and let go of the past. Life must go on. Expect anything surprising, even incredible to take place soon and see the real power of both Uranus, the planet of sudden release of energy in action and Saturn forcing the government to take drastic actions.
It's easy to pick out many of the key words and phrases that can relate to the WTC attack. Was the tragedy foretold in the stars and planets, or is this just another remarkable coincidence?
Fifth-Grader's
Vision
Another disturbing
prediction came from the mouth of a fifth
grade student in a Dallas suburb. On September 10, the before the attack,
the boy, whose name was kept confidential because of his age, made an
incredible, unexpected statement to his teacher. The boy said that World War III
would begin the next day. "It will begin in the United States," he
said, "and the United States will lose." On the day of the attack and
the following day, the boy was absent from school. After the attack took place,
school officials notified the FBI of the boy's statements, although the boy and
his family are not suspected of having any special advance knowledge of the
events.
What prompted the boy to make such a declaration to his teacher? Was it just a coincidental child's fantasy? Or did he have a special vision of the terrorist act? And, of course, it remains to be seen whether or not the attack will be the first strike in a third world war.
Valerie
Clarke's Amazing Prediction
Where were the
psychics with regard to the WTC tragedy? Perhaps she was in the UK. Valerie
Clarke, a psychic from Lancashire, UK appeared on the BBC's "Kilroy
Show" last June. On that program, which has been recorded, Clarke told host
Robert Kilroy Silk that she had received a vision of a massive explosion caused
by an aircraft crashing into the second tower of the World Trade Center. She
told the BBC TV audience:
I had this dream a while ago and I thought it was a bombing at the World Trade Center. In my dream I was at the World Trade Center wandering the streets – I was in some sort of barricade when the building blew up. At the same time this plane went down behind it. In my dream I was not sure if the plane had gone into the building.
Clarke's nightmare will undoubtedly be regarded as the most accurate psychic premonition of the devastating WTC attack.
What
About the Other Psychics?
Why did all of the
other well-known psychics - those we know from their frequent television
appearances and websites - fail to foresee the events of that awful day? Does
their failure mean they do not truly have psychic powers? Not at all. Whether
they are really psychic or not may be open to argument, but failure to predict
doesn't necessarily mean they are fakes. A psychic cannot be expected to be able
to predict any given future event, no matter how significant it might be. The
nature of such gifts, which we do not fully understand, itself seems to be unpredictable.
