First off, you're making the assumption that anyone on this planet can accurately or consistantly predict anything. There is no one who can predict things like this, so the act of posting something like this is flawed from the start. Also if you didnt notice he posted this months ago so for two months he gave his magazine exposure and probably got a few subscribers from this post. Nexus is an alternative news magazine, so he is not really sacrificing the integrity of his magazine because there are many predictions in the magazine and most if not all have never come to pass. In fact that is how he sells mags, a catchy headline, doesnt matter if it doesnt come true or not. How do you think The Star and Weekly World News sold magazines. They had a new end of the world prediction on every cover, not one came true and they still sold issues.
Stop assuming that there is anyone who can predict events such as these. No one can, some may stumble onto a correct guess but those things happen to everyone from time to time. Running out and claiming the sky is falling is not productive or helpful to anyone. He is using fear to sell magazines, but i guess if it were that obvious that he was doing that he wouldnt even have a publication.
Wow, with logic like your opening sentences, I really wonder what YOUR agenda is.
Once again, I will tell you clearly, that this was not a hoax. My friend exists, I exist, he had the vision, I put my best guess on when it would occur, and to top it off, I stated on this thread, that I started, that the prediction as posted has failed.
I totally reject the assertions that this was a hoax, and I totally reject that you sceptics even know what a hoax is anymore.
I totally reject that this was a shameless promotion for my magazine. Sure I publish an alternative news magazine, but honestly - do you really think anyone ran out and bought my magazine because of my OP? I guarantee 99% of you COULDN'T rush out and even FIND my puny magazine to buy anywhere near you. Promotion as a motive is evidence that you are desperate for reasons to whine on about how you hate predictions.
I do NOT use fear to sell the magazine, I don't even advertise the magazine outside of our website and a couple of contras with other specialist news publications. Do you ever see my logo flashing on ATS, or Rense, Prison Planet, TDG, Global Research or anywhere else? NO - because I am NOT into promotion. Mass promo is useless for me, as the magazine is so specialised. Our articles are 5000 words plus - the attention span needed to read this is not found by garish fear-based promotion. People who respond to fear-based marketing have SHORT attention spans - and these people would never buy Nexus anyway.
The bottom line is that I posted a prediction which failed. GET OVER IT AND MOVE ALONG!
I realise that Nexus is near the top of the hate list for all skeptic groups around the world, but honestly, the level of skepticism here is pathetic. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
I honestly thought that the classic skeptic tactics of rushing into other people's functions and events, screaming abuse about how stupid people are for believing in whatever - were over. But I see here at ATS some of them maintain the rage, and once again, make skeptics everywhere look stupid.
