A modern day Nostradamus?

[The Zango]

Hey everyone. I was randomly browsing the net yesterday using Stumbleupon and I came upon a picture of a post that had been taken of an /x/ thread on 4chan (link below). The post lists some dates and locations that are very familiar to news watchers.

NYC 2001, Madrid 2004, Santiago 2010 and it continues... However, whats strange is that the date of the post is 2009, the year before the Chilean earthquake.

Link here (SFW)

I'm not saying its 100% real, as it could be easily faked. I simply find the idea that it could be true quite intriguing.

And hey, look on the bright side, if these predictions are right, it debunks 2012 completely, which means I get to live until I'm 28 (according to this) XD

Disclaimer: I am not an end of the world kook, I simply find this interesting. Do with this what you will.

So... discussion value?

Anyway, I came into this thinking about Jeremy Hardy.

In 2008 (when Barrack Obama had been confirmed as the Democratic candidate), he said words to the effect of: 'I don't think the question should be 'is America ready for their first black president?' but 'is America ready for the assassination of their first black president?'' And in retrospect I'd rather he hadn't, because he also said that Obama might do something crazy... like try introduce universal healthcare, only to be dismissed like a liberal madman...

*shrugs* That could be faked within a few minutes on paint, anyway why would someone screenshot a random prediction before it happened?

Edit: Here's proof just how easy this is:

Spot the difference? This took me less than 10 minutes including uploading it back onto the web.

Spoiler: Clue

look at the date

Bingo. With image editing software, a picture on the internet is worth nothing as proof.

A modern day Nostradamus, huh? You mean a fraud who has never been correct on anything, and anything they've ever been remotely correct about is due to the fact of "Through the Eye of the Beholder"?

Then, yeah. Totally a modern day Nostradamus. And likely 100% fake. And 2012 doesn't need help being debunked, it debunks itself.

As for this so-called underground 'Baphomet' website? Bull. Conspiracy bull. I wouldn't be surprised if that image is faked, or, well... saying something will happen in Chile, at the heart of the Ring of Fire, is sort of like saying someone you know is going to pass gas.

You're pretty likely to be right.

Qatar hosting the world cup in 2022 is going to result in Armageddon?

OT: That's bullshit. More importantly I could say "stay away from California in 2015" today and, in a few years time, someone will realise I was right because shit happens all the time.

Doomsday predictions are boring. They're all essentially the same and they're all wrong. Around 1000 AD lots of doomsayers cropped up too, some of them ammassed huge cult followings before being inevitably debunked. How little we learn from history.

Even if it is true it's the usual general statements that people who want to believe it will find a meaning to, an event to atribute to the prophesy.

Yeah, I looked for the website and came up with nothing, not even any references to it past the demon-thing.

Thats why its such a good 'source' though, an 'underground' website that no-one has ever heard of and dont try to look for it, because it doesn't exist anymore... For some obscure, unmentioned reason.
