Hilter used Occult imagery to justify his rise. The History Channel uses Nostradamus...

[Junkdrawer]

There's a new one on now:

"Nostradamus predicted 9/11...now he predicts a new Arab attack...."

So maybe now you see why I'm not a big fan of superstitious nonsense...

1. Be nice, some DUers believe in that woo-woo crap. See? It's harmless. n/t

3. When you believe in things you don't understand, you suffer....

Truer words were never spoke..

23. I believe in many things I don't understand

I don't understand how TV works but I believe TV to be real. I don't understand Quantum Physics but I believe it to be real. I suffer from things I do understand like facism and the Bush* criminal thugs. The loss of our constitution and the failure of our Democratic Congress. I don't suffer from believing in UFOs which in fact are fairly well documented. Credible people that would be believed in any court room in a murder trial suddenly are not believed if they say they saw something strange in the air. I suffer from people that condemn others for their beliefs when they have no better knowlege themselves..

[Junkdrawer]

26. So, what's your take on Nostradamus?

:shrug:

[Toots]

33. I believe there are people that somehow know certain things that can not be easily explained

Whether Nostradamus was one of those people I don't really know. IMO the way he worded his writings a person could say anything about what he wrote. Nothing is exact like say Edgar Casey was. He was a man that defies explanation. There are many things that I find hard to explain and I find man's arrogance to be really absurd. Man does not have all the answers no matter what people here on this forum proclaim.

[immoderate]

28. Nothing wrong with saying you saw a UFO...

It means you saw something, or think you saw something that is not explained. So far so good.

It's when you say that these are, say, alien space craft, that you run into contradictions with widely held knowledge. So, in order for that to be true, other thing that we know to be true, have to be false. So what do you think is false; relativity? conservation of energy?

25. The "woo woo" crap is the propaganda manipulation in this....

You better believe the woo-woo occult republicon homelander cabals just love this carefully scheduled propaganda blast -- the week OF HALLOWEEN.

Boooooo

[Warpy]

2. Every weekend they seem to descend into dumbfuckery

and it's especially dumb around religious holidays of various descriptions.

Churchmen have been tying current events to Nostradamus ever since he wrote the twaddle.

Funny, nobody has ever successfully used his rubbish to predict anything!

[rug]

4. Why aren't these predictions decoded before something happens?

[Lint Head]

5. I predict that some time in the next two years there will be

a hurricane in the peninsula known as Florida. The red tide will all stain the beaches of the great gulf known a Mexico.
Another Republican will be exposed as a pervert and the great monkey in the house of white will try to frighten the masses. :tinfoilhat:

[Junkdrawer]

6. Wow...Amazing...You should be careful with that gift....n/t

[Lint Head]

7. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaa!

:rofl:

[BushOut06]

8. I predict the end of the Bush regime in January, 2009

I also predict that someday, a huge earthquake will rock California.

Astonishing, no?

[hatrack]

24. I predict that someday the sun will swell to monstrous size, consuming the inner planets . . .

And causing the Earth's oceans to boil - BWA-HAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Junkdrawer]

9. Anyone else watching this? From a superstitious propaganda viewpoint...

this show is fucking frightening. :scared:

[halobeam]

12. I went searching for those who might have watched this

yeah, to me what's most incredible is the audacity of them showing the horrors and how it's all "aligned"/destined to happen, and in the last two minutes you get a quick little fix on the fact we can change things if we want to. LOL

Flashing crumbling towers and Saddam's face, then the anti christ and Osama's face, it's interpretations of these paintings which are ONLY interpretations (opposing my view of it's meaning) as what it really means. All of it propaganda.

They believe, whomever "they" are, that we are stupid, REALLY stupid people.

What's most frightening is we have more lies. I'm so sick of lies.

[Junkdrawer]

21. Almost subliminal in the flash speeds...

incredible.

[itsrobert]

10. I predict a plague of a giant rat known as Chuckee who will terrorize parents everywhere

[halobeam]

13. How convenient, isn't it?

[wildbilln864]

14. Yes I started watching that crap......

because I was curious as to how this so called lost book suddenly appeared now. After about a half hour I couldn't take anymore of the fear mongering propaganda. :hi:

[Basileus Basileon]

15. Here, I'll do one. They're easy.

In the land of sandy mountains, the king is turned,
Though twice evaded, exposed at last.
Many times feared, many cry,
Swiftly comes the lightning.

Now, should sometime in the next few years, any of the following happen, let it be known I totally predicted it, and that this poem totally applies:

1. OBL caught
2. OBL killed
3. OBL launches another terror attack
4. Iran tests nuke
5. Iran launches nuke
6. Airstrike on Iran
7. Assassination attempt on Iranian president
8. Turkey captures leader of PKK
9. Bush impeached for lies regarding Iraq
10. Coup in Central Asian nation
11. Basically, any event involving a leader of any sort, a middle-eastern nation of any sort, and violence of any sort.

[Richard Steele]

16. Dude, you should write a book. You'd be totally famous 500 years from now. nm

[Ninja Jordan]

18. You're comparing the History Channel to Hitler?

huh??

[Junkdrawer]

20. I'm comparing the propaganda techniques of the Nazis to the History Channel...

You have to see this program to see why I think it's a valid comparison.

[Mutineer]

27. It's just a TV show. . . lighten up

it's not a valid comparison. A valid comparison would be if it was running on all networks, repeatedly.

[depakid]

22. Actually, we used to call it "the Hitler channel"

Based on the astounding frequency which you could see Hitler on there damn near every week.

[The Doctor.]

19. Agreed.

Prophetic speculation can be dangerous when it's not just plain silly.

[Kokonoe]

29. the future is real and it can be foretold.

It may seem a ridiculous power, but listen to it and do not underestimate. truth is the ultimate future and lies will always be told.

[Marie26]

30. The History Channel is just awful.

Just awful. They usually focus on Nazis or the occult - sometimes combining the two!

[Junkdrawer]

31. Last night they crossed in a whole new realm...

of what can only be called occult propaganda.

A few of us who track such nonsense were aghast.

[Marie26]

32. So glad I missed it

I did see an ad for it somewhere & just rolled my eyes. The History Channel is worse than Fox News when it comes to fear-mongering.
