2005 Predictions
How well did our prognosticators do for 2005? You can read highlights of the 2005 predictions in this article. The only hits seem to include:
- “The Pope will pass away.”
- “There will be strides made in the Palestinians/Israeli peace situation.”
- “Weather will be even worse than it is now, more intense, more hurricanes, more typhoons, more tornadoes worldwide.”
- Academy Award: "Best Actor – Jamie Foxx."
Not exactly a great track record. Major misses include:
- “Saddam Hussein is assassinated.”
- “Elections in Iraq result in US pulling out.”
- “A massive earthquake in the Southwest USA.”
- “The Giants will win the Series against Cleveland in Game 7.”
Come on. We can do better than that. Gaze into your crystal ball, put on your meditation music or summon your Ascended Masters – whatever you need to do to look into the future. Post your predictions in the Forum or e-mail them to me.
Your deadline is December 31, 2005. Once all the predictions are in, I’ll post highlights in a January article.
I predict we’ll do better this year.
