    he mentions osama bin laden and the world trade center. sure a clock is right twice a day, but at that point it, i find it suspicious.

      Osama Bin Laden was a well known terrorist figure. The WTC was previously a target of a bombing in 1993. It’s like me saying that one day Russia will invade another European nation. I mean all the evidence points that way, so can you call it a “prediction?”

        i’m just refuting your claim that it was something as diffuse as “someday something bad will happen”, he did in fact “predict 911”, but so did most people who paid attention to islamic terror at the time.

        if you go watch the clip, it’s much more detailed than you give it credit for.

          He mentions the WTC along with Oaklahoma city, not as an imminent target that was going to be destroyed within the year. He mentions the WTC as an example because it was previously a target in 1993. He also says “The join chiefs of staff want to blow up airliners.” He also claims The government was going to institute Marshall law. Those things did not come true. Sorry but this is just bullshit. He did not predict 9-11. He rambled off a bunch of paranoid bullshit.
