Web bot predicts: 9/11, other events, now says they are predicting WWIII? Pseudoscience or something more?

Predictions
[edit] Claimed hits
The Web Bot is claimed to have predicted several events prior to them occurring, most notably the September 11 attacks and the 2003 Northeastern United States blackout.[4] However, many believe the predictions are vague and, at best, pseudoscientific.[5]

September 11 attacks – In June 2001 Web Bot predicted that a catastrophic event would occur within the next 60–90 days.[6] However, during this same period, the 2001 Harehills riot, Tropical Storm Allison, a Vladivostokavia Tupolev Tu-154 jetliner crashed on approach to landing at Irkutsk, Russia, the 2001 Bradford race riots, the Howard Street Tunnel fire, and over 200,000 demonstrators protested at the 27th G8 summit with some property damage and injury taking place all occurred. "A catastrophic event" is such a vague statement that it could have covered any of these situations.
2001 anthrax attacks
American Airlines Flight 587[7]
Space Shuttle Columbia disaster – In January 2003 the web bots were going on and on about a "maritime disaster"[8]
Northeast Blackout of 2003[8][9]
2004 Indian Ocean earthquake[6][9]
Hurricane Katrina and its devastation[9][10]
Dick Cheney hunting incident[8]
BP Oil Spill[11]

[edit] Misses
A massive earthquake in Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest was predicted to occur on 12 December 2008.[12]
A "global coastal event" in mid-2009, which Ure and High said that they recommended people to stay away from coastal areas.[12]
A complete collapse of the US dollar beginning in 2009.[13]
The US dollar completely collapses, or Israel bombs Iran. In reaction to this crisis, administration of U.S. President Barack Obama would have been thrown into major chaos ten days later.[2][14]
A buildup of tension was to begin July 11, but nothing noticeable happened to cause such buildup.

[edit] Future predictions
November 17, 2010 – The web bot warns of a big tipping point, possibly World War III.[15]
Major catastrophe in 2012 – The Web Bot has gained most of its notoriety for contributing to the 2012 phenomenon by predicting that a cataclysm will devastate the planet in the year 2012, possibly a reversing of Earth’s magnetic poles or a small series of nuclear attacks leading up to a major attack during the year. The prediction does not necessarily call for a complete end of the world.[16][17][18][19]
The following come from the Web Bot Project Blogspot report on a radio interview with High and Ure:

No warfare between Israel and Iran, at least not until November.
Six very large earthquakes are yet to come during the rest of 2010.
A major tipping point will occur between November 8 – 11, 2010, followed by a 2-3 month release period. This tipping point appears to be US-centric, and could be a dramatic world-changing event like 9-11 that will have rippling after-effects. The collapse of the dollar might occur in November.
From July 11, 2010 onward, civil unrest will take place, possibly driven by food prices skyrocketing, and the devaluation of the dollar.[15]
No exact information on the December 14th missile launch (beginning of World War III) has been confirmed, but the predictions show it may happen.
A second depression, triggered by mass layoffs, bankruptcies, and the popping of the "derivatives bubble," will see people moving out of cities.
After March 2011, the revolution wave will settle down into a period of reformation.
A "data gap" has been found between early 2012 running through May 2013. One explanation is that "our civilization gets knocked back to a pre-electronic state," such as brought about by devastating solar activity.
A new benign form of capitalism will emerge during 2017-2020.[20]

How many Obama Bashers have bothered to learn the facts about suspension of the Jones Act and the BP Oil Spill?

All the noise about whipped up by Fox News about Obama refusing to suspend the Jones Act to aid the BP Oil Spill is just that, a lot of meaningless noise.
As usual, many have taken the Fox line, hook line and sinker, without bothering to get the real facts.
There are foreign vessels operating now. No suspension of the Jones Act is needed and those who think there is are simply misinformed.
Rather than bore you with the real story, you can go to FactCheck.org who has nicely debunked this nonsense.
But a funny thing about FactCheck.org During the 2000 and 2004 elections, I was bombarded with phone calls from Republican leaning friends. Call after call was to debunk something about Gore or Kerry based on information from the site.
But when FactCheck.org disagrees with the spoon fed Fox News account, Republicans say that the site is a Liberal leaning outlet. Go figure. They like the site when it agrees with them but condemn it when they disagree. Typical Republican stuff.
If you really want to know the truth, visit the site. But let me warn you, Palin fans are not going to like what they see.

What Kind Of Job Would Be Good For Me ?

I love researching different topics. Once I find something interesting, I’m usually hooked onto finding as much information as I can about it until I find a new interesting topic. But not just anything interests me. For instance the BP oil spill bored me, but I was amazed at the 13 year old boy who supposedly fathered a child. I have no interest in learning about cancer or diabeties either, but other diseases facinate me such as ADHD or Sickle Cell Anemia. I like learning about psychology disorders such as bipolar or depression. Autism is pretty cool. I think pregnancy is amazing. I hate hearing about politics, government, etc. I fail at history/geography classes. In class once we had to debate on the killing of whales and I failed because the topic just didn’t interest me. I’ve been in all advanced classes since I was little btw. Thanks !
Btw I’m only a teenager.

Fox Lying about Foreign help in the Gulf.?

Fox News regulars Bill O’Reilly, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, plus other columnists, who claim that President Barack Obama has refused all help from other nations in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill crisis and refuses to waive the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, aka the Jones Act, which requires goods transported between U.S. ports be carried in American ships. truth:

According to a press release from the U.S. Unified Command for the BP Oil Spill, “Currently, 15 foreign-flagged vessels are involved [in the cleanup]. No Jones Act waivers have been granted because none of these vessels have required such a waiver to conduct their operations.” To date, the administration has leveraged assets and skills from numerous countries and international organizations, including Canada, Germany, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, the United Nations’ International Maritime Organization and the European Union’s Monitoring and Information Centre.

So why Does Fox news go on lying to millions of people saying President Obama is " Refusing help" from Foreign aid? I was under the Impression they report Fair and Balanced news? How is leaving this information out helping the American Public? What is thier goal here?

All their businesses had been stopped especially those who rely on the coastlines for their incomes. If you are one of the people that had been affected and yet have not claimed their rights from the responsible companies then you can actually ask for information of the said oil spill in the company’s website. In their website, they actually provide information to those people who are affected in many ways by the oil spill incident.

What has BP done so far to stop the oil spill?

I need some information about the past of the BP oil spill; specifically, what BP has done to tackle the crisis. I have heard some shady details – that they originally tried to "dilute" the crisis by shoveling in as many things as they could; another is that they are using some sort of acid that dissolves the oil, but is also incredibly harmful for the environment. What were the details of the methods I mentioned before? Also, what other failed methods did BP use to try and stop the crisis?

What are the domestic energy production implications of the BP oil spill?

One thing I worry about in the aftermath of the ongoing BP oil spill (the top-kill method of trying to stop the leak apparently failed) is how restricted we in America could wind up being insofar as prospecting for our own oil and other fossil fuels is concerned. More than half of our oil is already imported, much of it from countries that are decidedly unfriendly to America – and this is, I am convinced, a major vulnerability that we have. After all, the "green" technologies that are widely promoted are, from what I have seen, not exactly economically viable.
