Current Events > Sylvia Browne, a psychic, "predicted" COVID-19 in 2008

(+) Yeah! (+)

Obviously this was basically just a lucky guess but I was still kinda like whoa when I heard about it.

I can see it coming back in 30 years tbqh, the wet market bullshit and insecure virus lab bullshit was not corrected, not even a little bit.

hopefully by then the world has better leaders

No she didn't.

*Takes off glasses*

My God.

But we have a cure, hydroxychloroquine!!!!

wasn't she proven a fraud? unless I am thinking of someone else, she at least once or multiple times, was used by cops to try to find missing people. and at least once I think she told worried parents that their daughter was dead and that she had spoken to her ghost. and then they found the girl alive

anyway, she made thousands of predictions. out of just sheer odds, she managed to guess one thing. woopty doo

what about that flesh eating disease in 2010?

I recall the horrific necrotising bacterial illness of 2010!

Oh, no I dont.

---

No.

Would this have been any less "oooo spooky" with last year's vape-lung?

eh close enough. ill give it to her. shes been wrong about a lotta shit also tho. so either the future is fluid and ever changing and hard to predict. or shes a snake oil salesman. most of these types tend to be.

but i like to think there are true psychics out there who maybe have a mutated gene that allows them to sense things normal people cant.
we really should gather every self-proclaimed psychic, test them for bs, weed out the fakes, and see how good the real ones really are. if their prediction success rate is acceptable there needs to be a psychic on every presidents cabinet.

100% of them are fake.

This had better not be a serious post

Newsflash, she didn't predict anything. Here's a prediction from me, miss cleo.

Sometime in the future your life will end, yes you the person reading this. To your family it will be a severe loss but they will continue on until they too, die.

Psychics can't possibly exist because a bunch of Rick & Morty fans on CE say so. Go stick your head in doodoo.

many times over.

james randi had her in his sights for a while too. she was a charlatan and she lucked out once on half of a prediction -- let's see how quickly and mysteriously this vanishes.

fear not the psyker

look up project stargate. the cia used psychics to spy on the soviets. theyre real.

go stick your head in doodoo

The Stargate Project was terminated and declassified in 1995 after a CIA report concluded that it was never useful in any intelligence operation. Information provided by the program was vague and included irrelevant and erroneous data, and there was reason to suspect that its project managers had changed the reports so they would fit background cues

Except she said it will vanish. Been half a year bro.

I was agreeing with you, you ****

My God, she predicted a viral pandemic roughly 100 years after the last one? No wonder Montel kept having her on his show.

Imagine believing in something called "Project Star Gate"

Or she saw Sars and thought it would happen again like other people who saw Sars did such as scientists.

You really don't think the military would study psychic phenomenon during the height of the cold war, when they were desperate to find any advantage over Russia that they could? What you gotta remember is the Soviets were very good at covering up their own incompetence.

No, I mean imagine believing it has any validity.

Of course it happened because the American military is spastic and dum.

the only truth is that it existed and was discontinued because it provided absolutely nothing of value

Most likely, but If their experiments did pan out, they would most likely pretend to shut the program down, in order to give the impression that they didn't find anything.

No, I think they are open to explore any possible advantage over the enemy. And, of course they never pass up a chance to waste hundreds of millions of the taxpayers money.

What about that thick shaft, though?

stop pretending like this is some jokey nonsense.

psychics are jokey nonsense and bullshit artists and they prey on vulnerable people.
