predictions of my psychic friend leslie...
Okay leslie has only been wrong once before....
She doesn't make any money off of her "gift" she just "knows" things.... wins the football pool at our watering hole like clockwork.... she says she imagines being at the game and looking at the score board.

SHE TOLD ME... that organ grinder and his monkey will not complete this term... that Hastert will finish out the term AND run in 2008.... she said she can't tell who wins in 2008... She gets no reading from our party.
She's the one who said in 2002 if kerry gets to be the nominee he won't win... unless people are curious about what's under a stage in a ohio high school.

1. How rich is your friend?
That will tell me a lot about her 'pshyic' powers.

2. Interesting. My info from "on-high" still hasn't played out yet
That being that * would lead us into the worst war we'd ever seen. Iraq is bad, but I don't think that was what the info was referring to.

4. Franklin county
I think it was. They counted the votes behind closed doors originally on the third floor and later in the gym, doors still closed.

I think that is right and is the reference.

8. She said she "watched"
two men slide four boxes under a stage in what looked like a high school, cover them with some sort of cloth and leaving and not talking at all.
the place is a little "art deco", drapes in the theater part are maroon and the floor tiles were beige. That's all.

13. that is pretty damn amazing....
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 12:09 PM by leftchick
she "saw" this in 2002? I wish some of Kerry's lawyers had gotten a supoena the day of the election to get in that school! That is what pisses me off. They were not pro-active on the day that mattered the most!

15. No, YOU say she said that.
I'm not calling you a liar, but human memory is fallible.

And in any case, an extraordinary claim like "my friend has psychic power" needs more evidence than just, "Please believe me that I am telling the truth-- and remembering correctly-- when I tell you that this is precisely what my friend Leslie said."

Post Hoc arguments are also not valid.

Please either ask Leslie to apply for The James Randi Prize, or at least post some of her FUTURE predictions here, so we can document that she said them BEFORE they come to pass.

6. So someone on the Bush/Cheney ticket has a skeleton under the
stage? It would have to be something really big for it to impact the Teflon President.

9. New here
Could this possibly be true?

First post, by the way.

I've been reading since the election, but was motivated to sign up by today's events in the Senate.

10. Welcome to DU! As to whether it's true or not, I can't say.
I think we're all pretty eager for W to take a fall somehow, so we're always willing to engage in speculation. Hope springs eternal! ;)

11. We'll have to see. Anyway, here's an easy million dollars for her
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 12:25 PM by IanDB1
I'm going to put your message post in my palmpilot, so that in 2008 I'll remember to see if she was right about Hastert.

Meanwhile, if your friend wants to make an easy $1 million...


$1 Million Paranormal Challenge
Learn more about the JREF's famous challenge.
http://www.randi.org/research/index.html

The Foundation is committed to providing reliable information about paranormal claims. It both supports and conducts original research into such claims.

At JREF, we offer a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. The prize is in the form of negotiable bonds held in a special investment account. The JREF does not involve itself in the testing procedure, other than helping to design the protocol and approving the conditions under which a test will take place. In most cases, the applicant will be asked to perform a relatively simple preliminary test of the claim, which if successful, will be followed by the formal test. Preliminary tests are usually conducted by associates of the JREF at the site where the applicant lives. Upon success in the preliminary testing process, the "applicant" becomes a "claimant."

http://www.randi.org/research/challenge.html


To date, no one has ever passed the preliminary tests.

Click here to see the application.

I've seen newbies suspected of all kinds of things.

I'm just here because I'm worried about my country. We need it back.

19. A Report Card on Psychic Predictions for 2004

See this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2288442

A Report Card on Psychic Predictions for 2004


Time is running out.

Over the next few days, Osama bin Laden will die of kidney disease. Saddam Hussein will be shot to death. Fidel Castro will die. A live dinosaur thousands of years old will be captured. The Hoover Dam will collapse. And Rosie O'Donnell will adopt Siamese twin girls.

That's what the world's best psychics predicted for 2004. And with the year drawing to a close, the news is going to have to get pretty intense over the next few days if those forecasts are going to come true, according to Gene Emery, a contributor to Skeptical Inquirer magazine, who has been tracking tabloid forecasts for 26 years.

Actually, the truly unusual predictions of major news events almost never come true, and this year has been no exception, said Emery, who has been using the predictions to search for a psychic -- any psychic -- who can really predict the future.

Not only did the psychic forecasts fail to foretell what would happen in 2004, the psychics continued their tradition of missing the major events that did make the headlines.

For example, this year they missed Janet Jackson's Superbowl breast flash (which caused one of the biggest stirs of 2004), the prison torture in Iraq (which most Americans found so surprising and profoundly disturbing) and the World Series win by the Boston Red Sox.

"But then, why should this year be any different?" said Emery. "Although the psychics were always predicting things for Princess Diana, they completely missed her death. The same was true for the Sept. 11 attacks. And the fact that the psychics, who claim to be able find everything from missing bodies to your missing car keys, have not helped us find Osama Bin Laden should tell you something."

"Given their track record, it's amazing that a psychic can tell you when the 10 O'Clock News is going to come on," he joked.

More:

Includes the failures of Terry and Linda Jamison, Anthony Carr, and Martha Henstridge.

Another year with a 0% score by the psychics.

Now, I saw THAT coming!
