Well... Time to add Duddy to my long list of ATers that are brainless tools.

I think you've demonstrated about 4120 or so times that you're a complete simpleton.

Where would one even start?

Seeing the future is bullshit.

Gifted intuition, however, with careful "predictions" using vague and crafty wording, can create the illusion of seeing the future.

I can make a written statement that essentially states a car will run a red light moments after the light on my side of the intersection turns green, while I am the first car at the intersection. This is merely applying intuition and experience, as I've seen it happen. And yes, I have avoided such a terrible accident by not hitting the gas immediately after the light turns green.

Granted, that's actually a bad example of intuition, however I do have rather insane intuition - I can seemingly "predict" things because I can, well, seemingly get myself into the head of others, and logically reason potential scenarios. Take that to a drug-induced extreme level, craft some fancy sentences, and you get things like Nostradamus. Certain things are bound to happen, and often (repeat) through the course of history. Take a book of vague predictive sentences, and apply it over the course of a thousand years, and OMG IT CAME TRUE! Of course it did. Hell, that same sentence came true 10 times. Oh... each time was a little different, so which one was the exact prediction? hah, I love predictions. :D

However... the whole predicting an exact date, and the wording I discussed at the very beginning of this post... it's just plain strange. And yet with all the things going on in the world today, take a little of the vague wording and suddenly it can easily come true. The whole three bombs thing could have been predicted without the nuclear test... but three moons and seven suns, I cannot come up with any kind of application of that to a strict two-day prediction.

Nope.... The blast zone (which could be for miles) is levelled/glassed...

everything else is irradiated.

last i checked, hiroshima and nagasaki weren't "dirty deserts" ... neither is chernobyl or Three-Mile island.

Doesn't look like glass to me. Looks alot like sand.

Nevermind anyway, I found out this nut posted the same thing early last year.

Maybe, but how does vegetation turn to anything when the nuclear blast is conducted underground, which this one was? Or any glow appear? Or anything other than a depression appear on the ground and a seismic event happen? (Which are about the only outward signs that an underground nuclear blast test has occured.)

One of the mods is tracing his IP right now to find out where he posted from. Besies, if it was known by the public on the 21st we would have known it before today.

so... what does the rest of it mean? The moon to red and the westward horizon glows. Vegetation to sand and the dragons come. The helicopter crashes. Climb the wall and seek the white tree. Destruction comes in three. Three moons, three bombs, seven suns. mene mene tekel upharsin

i'll tell ya what it means... it means he's a fruitcake, and anyone who believes he predicted north korea was gonna test a nuke is a nutcase.

if he was gonna predict north korea's nuke.. why not just come out and say it.. "north korea is gonna blow a nuke!"

Duddy, if you're going to continue defending this nonsense, can you please address this post? Thanks.

Texas? Well that explain everything then...

Texas! That does explain a lot....like how their high schools have forgotten to teach their students that NO ONE does above ground nuclear testing any longer and haven't for decades.

Angry guy is angry. Why do you have to attack me personally? Seriously, is it because your anonymous? Are you made at me for something I did to you?

I only see the past.. since light takes time to travel to my eyes and then it takes time for my brain to process the images.

I come from the future, and you're not there.

You negated your own existence by tampering with the past.
