A new peace plan for the Mideast will be proposed and a cease-fire implemented. However, it will be shattered shortly afterwards by a new round of violence.
A violent crime will take place where a high profile sports or entertainment figure will either be involved or the prime suspect.
Two famous Hollywood stars will get together, while another famous Hollywood couple will split up.
A new (or rarely heard of) disease, possibly a bacteria or a virus, will make the news. It will kill dozens and make hundreds other ill as it spreads rapidly for a short while, only to taper out just as quickly as it came.
A famous entertainer will throw their hat into the political ring.
Sporadic audio (but never video) tapes will surface claiming to be Osama bin Laden.
A new reality based TV series will debut.
Trial lawyers and activists will file a class-action lawsuit against a famous food industry or business.
A much-touted big-budget motion picture from one of the major studios will turn out to be a commercial flop, while a small-budget movie from an independent studio will make quite a buzz with moviegoers.
Someone will step forward claiming to be involved in cloning a human being.
A Hollywood legend and icon will pass away peacefully at their home.
A celebrated trial will hold the nation in its grip, as its proceedings will be televised live.
Senator Hillary Clinton will propose the federalizing of some area or aspect of society – an area that had never before been federalized.
We might as well add Pat Robertson's predictions to the mix.
The televangelist predicted on January 2, 2004:
"I think George Bush is going to win in a walk. I really believe I'm hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004. It's shaping up that way."
"God loves China and he loves the Chinese people. I believe there's going to be an unbelievable spiritual revival taking place in China this year. [God will bless China in 2004] "in a way it's never known before."
I say that if any famous person makes a prediction for 2004, we add it to the list.
2004 Is up in the air as far as interest goes, I hold that 2004 will be one of the most boring years we have had in a while. I look forward to 2005, which promises to be more interesting.
2004
I will start with the 2003 predictions which hold potential for coming to past:
1. The European Union will elect its first President or the election process will be started - (This based on what the EU says it plans doing) Predicted for 2003, but due to some fight over the word God in the constitution things have been put off, now I place this in 2004, or even 2005.
2. The stock market will continue on a slightly upward swing – barring a nasty event, setting the stage for a very profitable 2004. Oil is still an issue; I think we will see more fuel price wars.
3. Tony Blair will consider resigning. The Queen also considers stepping down to let Charles become king - The two events are related to the EU President prediction - If the EU fosters the right candidate, Tony Blair and the Queen will step down. Predicted last year, however the EU presidency has not been – yet so we will push this one to 2004.
4. A sustained fusion reactor will go on line. It will function for three hours before being shut off. This coupled with the oil shortage, will spark a renewed interest in fusion as a viable energy source. (Might be wrong, this might take place in 2004)
5. The South Wall in Jerusalem will partially collapse. This will cause the Temple of the mount to be unsafe. Work will begin on strengthening the wall however, it will be found that the damage is far worse - the only solution will be to build a new wall opening the door for much debate on what to do with the buildings above. (Again, this might be in 2004)
6. The hurricane season of 2003-04 will be drastic - New Orland will be threatened, possibly hit and flooded. Another Hurricane will cause high winds in NY NY blasting windows out of buildings- It will be the worst one to have hit NY on record. I’m still holding on this one, unless the current trend of mid Atlantic Ocean surface cooling continues. In that case fewer hurricanes will be created.
Side bar on #6 – as we all know Europe was hit with a terrible heat wave, this was due to Atlantic surface water being cooler than normal – this is a “new” phenomenon, one which is not easy to predict yet.
New Predictions 2004:
1. Continuing with the Weather Report: El Nino stands a good chance at making a return. If this is the case then the hurricane season above will not take place – again another factor in the weather which is hard to predict.
2. The Political Climate in 2004 will be up in the air, more so than in years past. This is a year of many minor changes, things sit in a delicate balance and one or two out of the ordinary events could knock the political climate out of whack. Though 2004 will be iffy when it comes to politics, 2005 will see a lot of interesting political moves on the global scene.
3. 2004 the Year of the Liar: The past 4 years have seen a lot of scandals and half truths, this year we will see a rehashing of those and more. 2004 will be of particular interest when it comes to political truth. This has direct impact on the political climate – with the renewed questioning of past lies many political figures will be tap dancing for your enjoyment.
4. Technology: Cell phone use over land lines will continue to increase, fact is in another decade the land line will be obsolete, along with the can opener. The current trends and with the new carry your number with you when you switch carriers will cause cell phones to be even more desired.
Yes the Can opener is on the way out, you will see more and more pull top lids in grocer’s this year.
5. Sunburns: There will be a sudden rise in sunburns this year. The Ozone will thin in many places and new holes will open then close. This will lead to an increased reporting of melanoma and carcinoma (skin cancer) Advise this year, wear sunscreen. Expect to see the northern lights far south this year.
6. Geology: Though I said two moderate Quakes for California in 2003, they appear to be running late. San Simon was a tad late; expect a big one for Los Angels Area early this year.
7. Diseases: More, Expect the drug resistance types of TB and infections to make a sudden rise this year. As Mr. Galt pointed out new emergent diseases come hand in hand with our globe trotting civilization.
2005 will be a more interesting year than 2004.

I'll blow your horn for you on this one. You've already had a hit with this prediction. You predicted it at the start of 2003, and it happened in September of 2003!
I must say that is a very specific and impressive hit on your part!

I kinda like to ask Robertson if he thinks that God is a Republican of if Bush is on a mission from God. Also it's nice that God loves China and the Chinese people, but doesn't he love everyone or does he have his preferences.

He loves them. But then an hour later, He loves them again.
Really don't even know why I posted that, John---I doubt that anything Robertson says has any relevance in my life. He's more of a caricature than anyone to listen to IMO.

A follow up on all of my predictions made last year...
A new peace plan for the Mideast will be proposed and a cease-fire implemented. However, it will be shattered shortly afterwards by a new round of violence.
A new (or rarely heard of) disease, possibly a bacteria or a virus, will make the news. It will kill dozens and make hundreds other ill as it spreads rapidly for a short while, only to taper out just as quickly as it came.
A much-touted big-budget motion picture from one of the major studios will turn out to be a commercial flop, while a small-budget movie from an independent studio will make quite a buzz with moviegoers.
Every single item I predicted at the very start of the year has come to pass! And as impossible as it sounds, even items that required two astronomically-high-odds of separate events to come together, I was able to nail with a 100% accuracy level that science cannot explain!
Using the same method that all the other alleged pshychics use of retroactively matching hits and applying names after the fact, I can now (just as they all do) say things like:
A year in advance I saw Reagan's death.
A year in advance I saw danger for Siegfried and Roy!
A year in advance I saw the violence in Fallujah!
A year in advance I saw love trouble for Bennifer! (Excuse me while I throw up for actually using that term!)
A year in advance I saw Mel Gibson's movie The Passion of the Christ breaking box office records!
A year in advance I saw what would happen with the Peterson trial!
In fact, I have a 100% success rate! There is not a single alleged psychic on the planet with as good a record as this. They only wish they could be half as good as me! And I was able to obtain this stunning degree of accuracy in less than the full 12 months allotted for all the lesser psychics out there! Of course, I knew it would only take 10 months!
John, most of your prediction would hold true for any year: A Hollywood couple will break up, a Hollywood couple will get together, a well-known athlete will be in legal trouble. A Mid East Peace Plan is proposed almost every year. A Hollywood legend dies peacefully every few months. Your "hat in the ring" comment, regardless of how you meant it, means that the owner of the hat will run, or attempt to run. It has meant that since TR said it in 1912. A new Reality series? Really went out on a limb with that one, didn't you. A lawsuit against a famous busines? The limb is almost a trunk now. A big budget movie will flop? A small budget movie will be a hit? Both happen every year.
A few predictions of my own - JohnGalt will now say that he was waiting for someone to post that his predictions were easy ones, stating that it was another of his famous "tests" to show everyone something. (No one is ever sure what he tries to show.) He also has a scar by his knee. Of course, now John has to change his plans regarding his "test." Or does he????? (Insert Theramin music here)

I also predicted that DG would not get the obvious and blatant tongue-in-cheek joking demeanor of my post (despite the multiple smiling and winking faces). I did this to demonstrate the fact that all alleged physics do the exact same thing of making vague "predictions" that can easily be retroactively fitted into almost any event but only after it is known after the fact. Yes, I predicted that too! It is right above my other post in black and white. But I am using my same psychic abilities to cloud it from the vision of all skeptics! It's there, but you just can't see it. It's not up to me to prove it is there. It is up to everyone else to prove that it is not there! (WINK, WINK, WINK!)
Tongue-in-cheek, I know, but surely there's a better fit for the last one? Not only is that combining two already existing federal programs, not "federalizing of some area or aspect of society – an area that had never before been federalized," it also is the wrong year (2001) .

Hey, I'm just doing exactly what all the psychics out there do already in desperately trying to fit a round prediction peg into a square historical hole!
As for the "wrong" year, I wasn't wrong! You have to keep in mind (pun intended!) that my psychic power that came into play on that one may have been Clairvoyance instead of Prognostication! And if you don't buy that one, then my prediction will just roll over to when Hillary runs for President! So there's another prediction!
George W. Bush will be elected to a second term, but will be impeached (or it will at least be discussed)
Abortion rights activists will attempt to assassinate a government official over the partial birth abortion issue
The military will find they are severely lacking in personnel after making the Force Shaping cuts demanded by Congress and step up enlistment efforts, thus increasing rumours of a draft
Budget cuts will reduce active duty pay and the number of active duty military on welfare will skyrocket
The United States will invade North Korea
Bill Clinton will die of a heart attack or stroke
Hillary Clinton will make the rounds of the television talk shows as the greiving widow, thus increasing her exposure in hopes to gain the nomination for Presidential candidate in 2008
Civil unions for homosexual couples will be made law for the entire country, granting the same benefits as marriage but with a different name, and allowing President Bush to keep face
Talk will be had about changing the electoral process after scandals that will occur in the upcoming election, and people will claim their civil rights are being violated
Someone will sue the government for discrimination for being Christian
That's all I got...let's see how I do (I'll move this to the 2005 thread in January)

Was Day After Tomorrow really a big flop?? I'd think there'd be a much better example to use...although I can't think of one....but I'm sure there one somewhere....
