He gets some amazing stuff right, lots more stuff wrong, and almost always with the wrong dates.
I've developed a system with a similar intent which uses none of Clif's approach or technology. I'm hoping my date hit percentage is significantly better.
Kidding aside, what Cliff appears to be doing is taking the "chatter" analysis that our intelligence services do, and going to a new level with it. If he succeeds in refining algorithms that can get a "feel" for the overall mood and psychological state of the people on the Internet, it's likely to be a very valuable tool.
We'll know if he's getting close, when his project gets classified.

Dang Drummie, I think our old acquaintance Brett got on meds...! LOL
Great analysis.
I LOVE your new font BTW.
Haven't found how to do that on the Sandbox threads. Could you Freepmail instructions when you have a moment? Thx.
It was hilarious, I got the reference. You never need to explain or apologize to me bud :-)
BTW Comedian, Cliff never wants his analysis posted on any open forum, because he claims that it will foul his webbot runs (some sort of positive feedback, he sez). It seems to me to be a convenient way to keep people paying (which is his right, even though he seems like a flaming commie in some regards). Have you found this to be the case in your work? Thanks
Very good points. I'll briefly say that the "don't post" admonition makes sense on one level, but on the level his system is supposedly working, the point should be irrelevant. It is in mine, since I don't look for keywords but rather (overly simplified description) concepts through emotional synonyms.
And yes unfortunately, I've seen Clif devolve into a David Ickes-believing anti-Semite, right before my eyes.
But as I've said to others, Henry Ford being a Nazi didn't adversely affect the value of the Model-T. His original work was invaluable to me, regardless of his personality or mental stability.
I usually have a tipping point of 15%.
Thanks for the ping!
May not get to this until this afternoon.
Thanks thanks.
Ping for later read.... if we are still here to read this.
Has anyone looked at comparing the Hebrew calender, specifically the history of the end of Cheshvan to the beginning of Kislev, to the TWZ/Webbot thing? I wonder if there might be a connection there.
A quick glance shows that 1 Kislev is the date of the beginning of the Egyptian plague of boils, but I'm not sure if this has anything to do with what we're looking at now.
Everything is connected, and time is apparently a recursive, fractal structure, so I'm sure the Hebrew calendar synchronizes with my stuff at least, and probably TWZ and the Bots as well.
November 8 = Kislev 1, 5771, the beginning of the Season of Rains.
Whne is the start of the next Jubilee Year?
When is the start of the next Jubilee Year?
Uh oh! You mean you didn’t mark the label before starting, so now you don’t know where you were gonna drink to but no further? Hey! You could get drunk being that irresponsible, don’tchaknow.
The reasons behind the debate: Although there was no Biblical requirement to observe the Jubilee year after the Ten Tribes were exiled, the observance of the shmitah (Sabbatical year) remained a Biblical obligation. The integrity of the seven-year Sabbatical cycle depended on the larger fifty-year cycle -- after completing seven seven-year cycles, a one year hiatus was taken before the new cycle began (on the 51st year). It was thus necessary to designate a (non-observed) fiftieth "Jubilee" year.
Others explain that the sages also instituted the (partial) observance of the laws of Jubilee to commemorate the Biblical mitzvah. However, there is also an opinion in the Talmud that the Jubilee is not an "in between cycles year," rather it is the first of the next 49-year cycle, and thus not designating it would not impact the calculation of the Sabbatical cycles. This opinion also maintains that the Sages never instituted the Jubilee year as a commemoration.
Although the laws of shemitah are observed in Israel to this very day, the Jubilee year is not designated or observed. There are many reasons for this. Some of them: a) The Jubilee only affected the shemitah cycle when the shemitah was established and declared by the Sanhedrin, as opposed to today when it is automatically programmed into the perpetual Jewish calendar. b) The observance of shmitah today is only a rabbinic decree, and therefore the Jubilee year does not affect its cycle.
No commemoration is in order when there is no Sanhedrin, whose participation in the declaration of the Jubilee year was integral. In fact, it was the Sanhedrin's blast of the shofar (ram's horn) on Yom Kippur which signaled the entry of the Jubilee year.
All that being said, here's a reasonable amateur attempt to prove next Jubilee will be 2015.
Very interesting, wasn’t aware of the debate over the Jubilee. I wonder if this has something to do with the Blood Moon Tetrad that occurs during the Passover and Feast of Tabernacles in 2014-2015. This is beginning to make me wonder if TWZ is reading the midpoint of the Tribulation somehow.
THX THX.
TC, just an update, but that website you provided for the possibility of 2015-2016 being the next Jubilee has an error in the math.
He begins on sound doctrine, but after translating the date for the last Jubilee from the Hebrew Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, he tried to follow the 49+1 pattern using the Gregorian 365.25 day years. To find the Jubilee, he needed to use the Hebrew 360 day calendar. Also, he had the date for Rosh Hashana 5727 listed incorrectly as 24 SEPT 1966 when it was actually 15 SEPT 1966. This makes his entire attempt invalid. He may be onto something with the theory behind his attempt, but the actual technical methodology is broken.
Thanks very much. I ask because I’m tying the sound of the shofar to the trumpet blast and call of the Archangel in the return for the Church, prior to the actual setting foot on the Mount in the Second Coming of Messiah.
Right on, brother. A work of priceless import! I've read some on this very subject, fascinating.
Excellent catch paladin1.
Are you up to doing the calcs with the corrected date and letting us know what you come up with?
I'd love to know but am too lazy at the moment to do it myself...
