Another disaster?

Someone claiming that this worked for 2001 and 2008 says that, if the pattern holds, there will be a disaster on Sept. 13, 2015.

It will be interesting if it happens. I could think of a few reasons why it might happen. Who knows.

Assuming the pattern holds, it likely caught the 1987 fall as well. The formula is supposed to get it down to the day, but I don't have enough material right now to work it down to the day. The range would be about september to october though. I am not aware of anything happening in 1994 though. The closest thing was supposedly the 2nd unabomber attempt, but I think that was too late in the year.

    I could pick any day in the past few years, put together a "formula" or an equation and prove a disaster happened on that day.....as long as I'm willing to be flexible in how "disaster" is defined. Can't find a natural disaster or economic collapse? Formula doesn't work. The unibomber was not a disaster, just one nutjob.

    I expect this new prediction is meant to replace the one for Dec 21, 2012 to keep people expecting the worst even when it doesn't happen. When the sun comes up on Dec 22 - all those blogs need something to talk about.

    Think it's a coincidence September 13, 2015 is a predicted solar eclipse? The earth goes dark....we're all going to vaporize. Buy survival gear now...

      Yeah, you're right. I just saw three close hits. September and october ARE historically bad months for the stock market, and 9/11 was probably a sick joke. WHO KNOWS, maybe they picked that because september is a bad month. The only REAL effect was it hurt the economy a bit when it was teetering, and gave the US a reason to limit our freedoms more. In the US, the emergency number happens to be 911. Still, WHO KNOWS.

        I'm sure you will be fine.

        Here is something interesting for you about 9/11

        In the UK it is the only date we say it American style. (9/11 is the 9th of November.)

        So anyone here seeing 8/11 or 10/11 would not say August the 11th or October the 10th but on seeing 9/11 would say September the 11th

        Hmmm. Maybe that is not so interesting after all.

          YEAH, CAN'T you guys do ANYTHING right, or agree on anything?

          I mean the only country using anything close to british weights and measures is the US! Britain is using the FRENCH way! And I wonder how the brits traveled the roads.... Was it on the left, as today? Was it on the right as the americans do? You even have to wonder about the language. There are three ways to go on everything. Each side can stay the same, or one can change substantially more than the other. Ether keeping the core, or changing it. Even today, it is doubtful that both sides would agree to change together though, for the first time, they COULD. Look at canada which has TWO languages, and the french REALLY want theirs emphasized.

          Switzerland doesn't count, since it is an old country that originally set itself up almost like the US in that it has a bunch of what are known as cantons in a federation. Each was originally a country or part of one. Even those that speak rhetto romansche get their own language! If the UN were SERIOUS about a world government, they would have let the SWISS manage it. They have 26 cantons, and 4 official languages, are considered state of the art, a developed country, and THEY HAVE BEEN AT PEACE, even through 2 world wars! It has maintained that peace for about 500 YEARS! Of course, they generally standardize on German for business and internal political affairs.

          I was once asked to make a date routine to automatically convert dates. I was JUST the person to do it, since I know a lot about dates, and am a programmer that has worked with such things. My response? "SORRY, it is IMPOSSIBLE! Unless I scan, and hit a date over 12 days, I can't tell if a date is American or European. I CAN handle japanese though! " Some people come to the US and forget to adopt the US system. You are left wondering if a date is MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY!

    How bout Wisconsin today? 4 men in black dress invaded a Sikh temple and shot around 12 people.

    That is the word from an eyewitness who is some sort of authority at the church. "Official story", once again, is sole shooter.

    Second mass shooting in a week or two that witnesses claim several shooters involved, but officials say only one. I imagine something could escalate upward by the 13th.

    At this rate it's looking like about one incident every month.


    Will this continue?


    Or...


    Will there be more than 12 incidents per year, 8 per year, 6 per year or less than 6 per year??



    Only time will tell.


    All The Best!!
