Bay Area Skeptics
|
|
|
|
PSYCHICS' PREDICTIONS FIZZLE FOR 1992
|
|
|
|
President Bush was not re-elected. Madonna did not become a gospel singer, and
|
|
a UFO base was not found in the Mexican desert. These were just a few of the
|
|
many predictions that had been made for 1992 by famous "psychics", but were
|
|
dead wrong, as chronicled by the Bay Area Skeptics.
|
|
|
|
At the end of each year, many well-known "psychics" issue predictions for the
|
|
year to come. Twelve months later, they issue another set of predictions,
|
|
conveniently forgetting those made the year before, which are always nearly
|
|
100% wrong. Each year, however, the Bay Area Skeptics dig up the predictions
|
|
made the year before, to the embarrassment of those who made them.
|
|
|
|
Many of the "psychic" predictions made are so vague that it is impossible to
|
|
say if they came true or not: for example, Jeane Dixon's prediction that
|
|
Tracey Gold "faces perilous periods in July and October" [The Star, April 14,
|
|
1992] is not obviously true or false. Many other "predictions" involve things
|
|
that happen every year, or else are not difficult to guess, such as terrorist
|
|
incidents, marital strife for Charles and Diana, or severe winter storms.
|
|
Many supposed "predictions" simply state that ongoing events and trends will
|
|
continue, such as economic uncertainty, or conflict in the Middle East. Some
|
|
predictions did of course come true, especially those that were unspecific,
|
|
or not at all difficult to guess: several "psychics" correctly predicted that
|
|
a hurricane would cause major destruction in Florida or Cuba, but not one was
|
|
specific as to the date or principal location of the damage. Hurricanes occur,
|
|
of course, every season in the Caribbean. Significantly, not one prediction
|
|
which was both specific and surprising came true.
|
|
|
|
Other supposed "predictions" are not really predictions at all, but are
|
|
actually disclosures of little-known events which are already under way, such
|
|
as movie productions, marriage plans, business ventures, or developing
|
|
scandals. Because questionable claims of having made an amazing prediction
|
|
are frequently made in the wake of major news stories, the Bay Area Skeptics
|
|
only evaluates predictions that were published or broadcast before the events
|
|
they claimed to foretell.
|
|
|
|
New York "psychic" Lou Wright predicted that three men would unsuccessfully
|
|
attempt to kidnap Candice Bergen in Paris, and Marlon Brando would be arrested
|
|
for trying to bust his son out of jail [Natl. Enquirer, Jan. 2, 1992].
|
|
|
|
Los Angeles "psychic" Maria Graciette predicted that a secret UFO base would
|
|
be found deep in the Mexican desert, thousands of years old, and that Vice-
|
|
President Dan Quayle, attending a World Series game, would impulsively inter-
|
|
fere with a play [National Enquirer, June 9, 1992].
|
|
|
|
New York "psychic" John Monti predicted that "a massive hurricane will
|
|
devastate Cuba and topple Castro's regime," that a huge AIDS epidemic would
|
|
"threaten to end professional sports" [National Enquirer, Jan. 2, 1992], and
|
|
that a scientific advance would allow women to delay menopause, allowing them
|
|
to have children into their 60s [National Enquirer, June 9, 1992].
|
|
|
|
The famous Washington, D.C. "psychic" Jeane Dixon, who supposedly has a "gift
|
|
of prophecy",saw that Fidel Castro would be overthrown, possibly resulting in
|
|
Cuba becoming part of the U.S., and Virginia governor Douglas Wilder would
|
|
gain enough support for a "vice-presidential invitation". President-elect
|
|
Bill Clinton, however, she described as "the Democratic shooting star," for
|
|
whom "an organization of women will try to block his path" [The Star, Jan. 21,
|
|
1992]. President Bush's ratings would climb, resulting in his reelection [The
|
|
Star, July 7, 1992]. She also predicted "a promising economic upturn in the
|
|
spring," and that "broccoli will become the miracle vegetable of the '90s"
|
|
[The Star, Jan. 21, 1992].
|
|
|
|
Chicago "psychic" Irene Hughes predicted that Vanna White and her husband
|
|
would purchase a "haunted" mansion in Beverly Hills, from which they would
|
|
flee in terror a week later. Madonna's career would be interrupted by a
|
|
"mystery illness," but she would recover after having a religious vision, and
|
|
become a gospel singer [National Enquirer, June 9, 1992].
|
|
|
|
New York "psychic" Laura Steele predicted that an earthquake would topple the
|
|
Gateway Arch in St. Louis, and that William Kennedy Smith would enter the
|
|
priesthood to become a missionary in Africa [National Enquirer, Jan. 2, 1992].
|
|
|
|
Los Angeles "psychic" Judy Hevenly predicted that George Bush would be re-
|
|
elected "by a landslide," that Madonna would be hit by a car while jogging in
|
|
New York's Central Park [National Enquirer, Jan. 2, 1992], and that Gennifer
|
|
Flowers would join the cast of a popular daytime soap opera [National
|
|
Enquirer, June 9, 1992].
|
|
|
|
Another Southern California "psychic," Clarisa Bernhardt, who is claimed to
|
|
make "uncanny earthquake predictions," warned that scientists would be
|
|
"shocked" in October when supposedly earthquake-proof Florida is hit by a
|
|
trembler, only weeks after being hit by "the worst hurricane in the state's
|
|
history." The prediction that this year's hurricane season would produce
|
|
Florida's worst destruction yet was correct,but the earthquake prediction was
|
|
dead wrong. Bernhardt also predicted that Joan Lunden would renew her
|
|
marriage vows on her TV show, "Good Morning America" [National Enquirer, June
|
|
9, 1992],that Michael Jackson would lose his voice and quit singing, and that
|
|
Joan Rivers would be plagued by three look-alikes created through "extensive
|
|
plastic surgery" [National Enquirer, Jan. 2, 1992].
|
|
|
|
Joan Quigley of San Francisco, White House astrologer to the Reagans,
|
|
predicted that Bill Clinton would run out of money toward the campaign's end,
|
|
and that the total eclipse of the sun on June 30 will cause earthshaking
|
|
events in China [Washington Post, April 18, 1992].
|
|
|
|
Here in Northern California, the date of that devastating California earth-
|
|
quake everybody keeps predicting was pegged for Oct. 17, the third anniver-
|
|
sary of the Loma Prieta quake, by "psychic" Ernesto A. Moshe Montgomery, who
|
|
claims an accuracy of 99 1/2 percent [San Jose Metro, Feb. 27, 1992].
|
|
|
|
Based on the continuing failure of the "psychics" to make accurate predictions
|
|
over the years, the Bay Area Skeptics urges everyone - especially the media-
|
|
to exercise some healthy skepticism when "psychics" and other purveyors of the
|
|
paranormal make extra-ordinary claims or predictions. Anyone who swallows
|
|
the "psychics'" claims year after year without checking the record is setting
|
|
a bad example for students and for the public.
|
|
|
|
It is important to note that no "psychic" succeeded in predicting the
|
|
genuinely surprising news stories of 1992: The destructive fire in Windsor
|
|
Castle; the feud between Vice-President Quayle and Murphy Brown; the surpris-
|
|
ing presidential campaign of Ross Perot. These major news stories were so
|
|
totally unexpected that someone would have had to be genuinely "psychic"
|
|
to have predicted them twelve months ago! Given the sheer number of so-called
|
|
"psychics" out there, one would expect that if even one of them were genuine,
|
|
these things would have been correctly predicted; and since they were not, it
|
|
suggests that all such claims of "psychic powers" are without foundation.
|
|
|
|
The Bay Area Skeptics is a group of people from all walks of life who support
|
|
the critical examination of paranormal claims, such as psychic powers, UFOs,
|
|
astrology, Bigfoot, biorhythms, etc. Similar skeptics' organizations are
|
|
active in many other areas of the country, including New York, Colorado,
|
|
Georgia, Illinois, Southern California, Arizona, Texas, and Ohio. The
|
|
Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal
|
|
(CSICOP), headquartered in Buffalo, NY, is an international Skeptics' organi-
|
|
zation, made up of many famous writers, scientists, and investigators, such
|
|
as Martin Gardner, Stephen Jay Gould, Carl Sagan, Philip J. Klass, and many
|
|
others.

Tell us how you want to help, by answering these questions:
|
|
|
|
1. What kind of alien would you like to sponsor:
|
|
|
|
__ Tall Grey
|
|
__ Short Grey
|
|
__ Reptilian Master
|
|
|
|
2. What geographical area are you interested in?
|
|
|
|
Urgent need exists in all the areas listed below, especially in
|
|
outer space. If you have a strong preference for a particular
|
|
location, check the area of your choice. If not, won't you please
|
|
let us assign an alien where the need is greatest?
|
|
|
|
__ Certainly. Choose an alien for me in an area of greatest need.
|
|
|
|
|
|
__ Zeta Reticuli __ Belletrax __ Draco
|
|
__ Barnard's Star __ Groom Lake __ Area 51
|
|
__ S-4 Base __ Dreamland __ Dulce Base
|
|
__ Pleiades __ Alomogordo __ The Moon
|
|
__ Mars __ Middle Earth __ Nightmare Hall
|
|
__ A very crowded and smelly planetoid heading toward Earth
|
|
__ Superstition Mountain
|
|
|
|
3. Would you like a frozen DNA sample of your sponsored alien?
|
|
|
|
Shortly after we select an alien for you, we can send you a
|
|
photograph, a brief personal history and a registered DNA sample
|
|
stored in liquid nitrogen. You can grow one right in your own
|
|
home! (Cattle mutilation kit NOT included.)
|
|
|
|
__ Yes __ No
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Would you like information about your alien's home planet or
|
|
underground base?
|
|
|
|
Because 44 years of experience has taught us that direct handouts
|
|
of blood, tissue, and glandular secretions are the least effective
|
|
way of helping aliens, your sponsorship contributions are not
|
|
distributed that way. Instead they are used to help aliens in the
|
|
most effective way possible - by helping the entire underground
|
|
base with projects and services, such as human organs, batch
|
|
consignment slaves, street people to perform genetic experiments
|
|
on, and scientists to be kept as pets. You can receive detailed
|
|
reports - duly notarized by the Jason Scholars and MJ-12 - on these
|
|
activities which provide permanent improvements in your alien's
|
|
environment.
|
|
|
|
__ Yes __ No
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Would you like to exchange correspondence?
|
|
|
|
If desired, correspondence can help build a meaningful one-to-one
|
|
relationship. Translations, where necessary, are supplied by
|
|
Save the Aliens.
|
|
|
|
__ Yes __ No
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. How do you wish to send your sponsorship contribution?
|
|
|
|
__ My check for $20 is enclosed for my first monthly
|
|
sponsorship contribution.
|
|
__ A pint of my blood and some thyroid and pituitary tissue
|
|
is enclosed.
|
|
__ Ten rocks of crack cocaine and a tenth of a gram of heroin
|
|
are enclosed. Please sell them to help the aliens.
|
|
|
|
7. Do you wish verification of Save the Aliens credentials?
|
|
|
|
Save the Aliens is indeed proud of the handling of its funds.
|
|
Based on last year's audit, an exceptionally large percentage of
|
|
each dollar, tissue, or blood sample was used for direct aid to
|
|
the aliens in their bases. Drugs were sold by the CIA to the
|
|
dregs of society to help buy the alien bases. Due to slave labor
|
|
and materials that were purchased using Pentagon "Black Budget"
|
|
funds, your donation provides your alien with benefits worth
|
|
many times your total gift. Would you like to receive an
|
|
informative Annual Report (including a money laundering tracer
|
|
statement)?
|
|
|
|
__ Yes __ No
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Would you rather make a contribution than become a sponsor
|
|
at this time?
|
|
|
|
Please show up at Fred's Cafe in Dulce, New Mexico, anytime
|
|
during the next six months. We'll send one of our special
|
|
representatives to guide you to our corporate headquarters.

|
|
|
TIPS FOR PERFORMERS: Playing cards have the top half upside-down to help
|
|
cheaters. There are a finite number of jokes in the universe. Singing is a
|
|
trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
|
|
There is no music in space. People will pay to watch people make sounds.
|
|
Everything on stage should be larger than in real life.
|
|
|
|
LIVING WITH OTHER PEOPLE: Violence on television only affects children whose
|
|
parents act like television personallities. Table manners are for people who
|
|
have nothing better to do. Civilization is a religion. Civilized people walk
|
|
funny. There is always a party going on somewhere. People will remember you if
|
|
you always wear the same outfit.
|
|
|
|
LIFE ON EARTH: Men like pastries, women like custards. Scientists have
|
|
invented a love drug, but it only works on bugs. Animals like earthquakes,
|
|
tornadoes, and volcanic activity. Nuclear weapons can wipe out life on Earth,
|
|
if used properly. Cats like houses better than people. Dolphins find people
|
|
amusing, but they don't want to talk to them. People look ridiculous when
|
|
they're in ecstasy. Schools are for training people how to listen to other
|
|
people. Body odor is the window to the soul. Sound is worth money.
|
|
|
|
IN THE HOME: There have been cases where people's shoes got stuck on their
|
|
feet and could never be removed. The best way to get rid of unwanted flying
|
|
insects is to have strong body odor. There hasn't been a good=looking American
|
|
car in 20 years. There is always something on television. The best length for
|
|
television programs is either 30 seconds or 8 hours.
|
|
|
|
THE SPACE PEOPLE: Space People read our mail. The Space People think that TV
|
|
news programs are comedies, and that soap operas are news. The Space People
|
|
will contact us when they can make money by doing so. The Space People think
|
|
factories are musical instruments. They sing along with them. Each song lasts
|
|
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. No music on weekends.
|
|
|
|
MONEY: People will do odd things if you give them money. When everything is
|
|
worth money, then money is worth nothing. If you keep your money in your shoe,
|
|
then people will know which bills are yours. If you crumple your money into
|
|
little bills, it will never stick together. The best way to touch money is by
|
|
the edges. U.S. money is the worst looking money in the world.
|
|
|
|
WORLD TRAVEL: Passport pictures are what people really look like. Rich people
|
|
will travel great distances to look at poor people. Toast is the national dish
|
|
of Australia. People never travel to look at flat landscapes. People would
|
|
rather watch things than eat. Looking at postcards is better than looking at
|
|
the real thing. Looking up is as scary as looking down.
|
|
|
|
IN THE FUTURE: In the future, women will have breasts all over. In the future,
|
|
it will be a relief to find a place without culture. In the future, plates of
|
|
food will have names and titles. In the future, we will all drive standing up.
|
|
In the future, love will be taught on television and by listening to pop
|
|
songs.
|
|
|
|
WORK: Crime is a job. Sex is a job. Growing up is a job. School is a job.
|
|
Going to parties is a job. Religion is a job. Being creative is a job.

10" of SLACK
|
|
|
|
is a non-renewable petroleum-based vinyl record in the obtuse
|
|
10" format. It features aPOPcalyptic hits from the Rev. Ivan
|
|
Stang + Huge Voodoo, Size Ten Jaw (featuring improv greats The
|
|
Shaking Ray Levis), King Kill 33, and Skull & Bones. Genuine
|
|
Bob-approved SLACK is now a reality in your own home, spinning.

YES! Rush me my own *personal* copy of 10" of SLACK today! I
|
|
understand I may grumble loudly if not delighted with the results.
