Psychic Made Stunning Sniper Predictions

Maybe the profilers should have consulted with Elizabeth Baron.

"In recent months, Baron says she has received some warnings about President Bush and Vice President Cheney."

They're going to try hard. I can only pray they fail.

The last part gave me a jolt. For the last week I have been feeling that the NYSE is the next big target, a simultaneous bomb and cyber attack perhaps, and my husband thinks this will be coordinated with suicide bombers or snipers in shopping malls, perhaps The Mall of America.

I would pass this off if it weren't for the fact that we discussed in 1992 our belief that terrorists would attack New York and D.C. within the next decade. And my husband pinpointed The World Trade Center as the site they would want to bomb first.

Psychic/smychic!

I don't find this hard to believe. This women is in league with and works for the same boss (Satan) as the snipers. So, of course she can get "inside" information.

"Psychic" quacks rely on all sorts of tricks. I see signs of several possibilities in this article:

1. People remember your "hits" and overlook your "misses". Note that the article admits several things this woman "predicted" which simply have not panned out (e.g. "five people" involved).

2. People who "want to believe" will give them the benefit of the doubt on things which fail to match, and/or "stretch to fit" ("aha, there *might* be five people involved, we just didn't catch them all!")

3. With dozens of "psychics" making "predictions" on any big public story, one or two are bound to have a few unusually lucky guesses. We never hear about the "psychics" which predicted yellow cars, red cars, orange cars... But the one that spun a tale about a "blue" car gets to make all the papers, and use it as "proof" that she's the real McCoy...

4. The really slick "psychics" will do a hell of a lot of research, so that their "predictions" will be better than wild guesses. They'll have spent years developing far-flung sources they can turn to for "inside" information. (One famous example hired private detectives to investigate her wealthy clients, so that she could "know" things about them that she "couldn't possibly have known unless she were truly psychic"). In this case, note that the blue car "prediction" was publicly announced TWO DAYS short of the snipers' capture. Rather than being "evidence" of her amazing abilities, it's more likely evidence that she had found an inside source in the investigation and pumped them for information -- the police had known about the involvement of Muhammad's blue Caprice for at least a week before the capture. Then the "psychic" arranges a big radio interview where she can "reveal" her "psychic insight" so that she can reap loads of free publicity when her "prediction" turns out to be "uncannily accurate". One more "miracle" for the ol' resume...

A good "psychic" knows every trick in the book to rope in new suckers.

It was suggested here on Oct 17. Read some of the responses.

I predict daylight will begin to fade on the entire East Coast in about 10 hours. The good news: it's only going to last for about 12 hours.

Always remember that the Bible warns us of psychics. Even if they are right on, it's not a wise use of one's resources monetarily or spiritually.

[StolarStorm]

Why do you believe that? She stated that she intensly prayed to receive information. How is this any different then saints and prophets. Perhaps she is another living saint. The bible is replete with holy people who see visions of the future.

[HitmanLV]

No offense, but several Freepers (including me) made similar on-target predictions about the sniper.

[jrhepfer]

I concur with StolarStorm. Our prophets received the word of God, and many psychics today are devout christians that praise God for their gifts. I keep an open mind about things like this. Almost everyoned has seen or experience something strange or unexplainable. Don't confuse what I'm talking about with the $3.99 per minute phone wackos.

One of my favorite "psychics" to listen to is Sylvia Browne. She's a delightful woman who has many interesting things to say. Edgar Cayce (The Sleeping Prophet) was a devout Catholic I believe. He healed over 90% of the people who wrote him asking for help. The healings were usually in the form of a medical treatment that he would detail during trance that would be mailed back to the requestor. Better than 90% success rate and it's documented in detail.

I don't think it would be wise for us to question what gifts God may decide to bestow upon us.

So many pundits so many speculations, someone had to get it close just on guesswork.

[AmericaUnited]

She stated that she intensly prayed to receive information. How is this any different then saints and prophets. Perhaps she is another living saint. The bible is replete with holy people who see visions of the future.

Yes, the Bible also is replete with those who pray to demons. The Bible is replete with warnings to have NOTHING to do with sourcery and witchcraft. This women is a witch. Check out her web site. Astral travel??!! Trances??!! PURE, 100%, UNADULTERATED WITCHCRAFT@!

Please, this is almost laughable. Genuine prophets of the Most High God do not sell "readings", trance services, books on atral travel, etc. THIS IS PURE WITHCRAFT!

I had a psychic come into the advertising department of my newspaper one day when I was there.
She was looking for the small ads girl, to put in an advertisement about her clinics.

But the girl she was looking for was out of the office at the time.
I said: 'Hey, if you are such a good psychic, how come you didn't know she wasn't here before you came in?''

She didn't take an ad! *L*

"Soon after the spree killings began on Oct. 2, Baron claimed that there was indeed an Islamic connection to the killings."

Big whoop! I was saying the same thing. Does that make me psychic? This fall under the category of educated guess.
