Fwd: Where's Osama By: Mark Morgan on 2/5/2002; 2:40 PM CSICOP Announcement <CSICOP-ANNOUNCE@LISTSERV.AOL.COM> From: Barry Karr <SkeptInq@aol.com> Subject: Where's Osama To: CSICOP-ANNOUNCE@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Dear CSICOP List Reader, Each year for the past ten years or more, we have published an end of the year look-back at the predictions made by alleged psychics and astrologers for that year. It seems that pretty much each New Year every newspaper in the United States and elsewhere feels obligated to run such a story, and we figured it would be good to try and get these papers to run a story about the dismal failures the previous predictions turned out to be. The writer who regularly does the feature for us did not want to do the roundup this year. He rightly thought that the events of September 11 made it painfully clear and obvious how capable psychics and astrologers were at predicting the future. Instead he proposes a challenge to psychics and astrologers, as outlined below and on the following website: http://www.csicop.org/groups/osama-form.html Barry Karr CSICOP The suicide hijackings of Sept. 11, 2001, exacted a terrible toll but offered several lessons. One of them: psychics and astrologers cannot predict the future. The folks who tell you with great certainty where you misplaced your TV remote control were never able to pick up enough vibes to warn authorities and thwart the attacks, even though the tragedy was destined to resonate throughout the psyche of the Western world. As someone who has retrospectively reported on published psychic predictions every year since 1979, I wasn't surprised. Almost invariably, the psychics and astrologers miss the big, unexpected news events of the year, from the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster to Princess Diana's death. Nonetheless, all it takes is one real psychic to demonstrate that such powers could exist. To that end, I propose giving the psychics and astrologers another chance with this challenge: Identify the date that Osama bin Laden is captured or his body is found Let's see if any psychic comes close and if non-psychics can do as well. If someone succeeds, then we can ask them for a few other specific predictions to see if their powers are real, or they were just lucky.

the story behind the story By: Charles Anthony Hays on 2/6/2002; 12:59 AM brought to you by the people who own most everything. playing where ever there is a need to make folks support the program. the biggest and most well funded reality tv program to date. "The War on Terrorism." staring george bush as "regular guy president." osama bin ladin as "most evilest guy ever (since sadaam)" the public as "disposable characters that willingly play along." all of the proceeds go to keep oil barron billionares in charge of the major resources of the planet and to maintain an artificial lifestyle for the super elite. don't confuse sadaam for osama. though they both had the same trainers at CIA terrorist training camp, they are as distinct as bad guy and the new bad guy. george bush jr. will do the job george bush sr. couldn't. the secret - sr. knew too much - jr. doesn't. jr.'s awareness is reminiscent of reagan. don't miss "The War on Terrorism!!!" reality tv that doesn't mind killing the extras to keep you interested!!!
