I’ve been loosely keeping up with the web bot project at Half-Past Human for several years.
It does appear that certain governmental authorities place some level of credence in the seeming, predictive qualities of the frequency with which certain words and phrases occur on the internet, too. Remember back in the early summer of this year, that a spokesman for the Obama administration made the odd statement that the economy had indeed improved, and cited the phrase “economic depression” falling pronouncedly on Google Trends?
I have no idea what sort of proprietary programming these guys might have, or if it’s just raw prognostication based upon some gut feel about words and phrases welling up and ebbing back. But, there’s at least some level of credibility to it.
Has anyone connected the Swine Flu “state of emergency” to this October 25 thing yet? Could be pertinent.
I also track online “prophecies” on the web, mostly evangelical Christian, because that’s just the predominant source. But, there are many others, too. One prophetic “trend” that I’ve noted agrees with the web bot deal. A “cloud over Iran.” Triggers famine and death. That’s an old one, going back several years.
The best intuitive guess I could throw at this, is that the so-called “wisdom of crowds” is in some ways precient. The more severe the future event, the more of a, what, shock wave, that precedes it. Some people are more innately attuned, and are aware. Others are not, but still the words and phrases get blurted out unawares.
Which prophecies do you track , if I may ask ?
Their most recent newsletter actually called for 10-25 to serve as the likely start date for a cascade of events which will reach a climax on or about 11-05. Their latest posting (on Rense’s hateful site, to which I refuse to provide a link) predicts a world-shaking mostly financial event to occur offshore, most likely on Monday morning.
Stay tuned and pass the popcorn. Or survival rations.
Whatever.
