Thread: The Psychic twins and 911

    The Psychic twins and 911

    I was under the impression that NOT one psychic made any sort of claim that could be backed up with evidence that they predicted the events of 911. Yes many, even JVP make the claim that they did but none of them have anything other than their own anecdotes. The psychic twins seem to be claiming otherwise

    The Psychic Twins made the following predictions on national TV and radio or in national magazines from 1998 to 2010. All of them happened.
    9/11 Attacks on America The Psychic Twins were the only psychics who predicted the World Trade Center terrorist attacks and the attack on The Pentagon.
    - Predicted on Art Bell "Coast to Coast A.M." Premier Radio 11/99


    I can't find any links or recordings of the 'supposed' prediction but I did find this article which sheds more light on the 'astounding' claim...funny how as the story reveals itself it gets less and less astounding.

    While being interviewed on the Art Bell radio show (Coast to Coast A.M.) on November 2, 1999, The Psychic Twins predicted that there would be a terrorist attack on the federal government and the World Trade Center in 2002. The actual quote is, "We are seeing terrorist attacks on federal government – excuse me, federal buildings. Particularly South Carolina or Georgia, by July 2002. And also the New York Trade Center – the World Trade Center in 2002, with something, with a terrorist attack." While the predicted date was incorrect (as the terrorist attacks actually occurred on September 11, 2001), the sisters have used this statement to claim (as seen on the opening page of their Web site).
    So, they made a random stab at a terrorist attack, got the date wrong, made no indication of the scale of the attack (funny you'd think if they can see dates, type of people attacking etc you'd think they'd catch that 2 huge jets would be used..but no. Yet another pair of scam artists who should go get real jobs and stop making the world a dumber place to live in..I hear boots are hiring in the cosmetics department.

    Oh here's a few of their other oh so accurate predictions

    In December 2003, they incorrectly predicted that Saddam Hussein would be killed by U.S troops in early 2004 (he was actually executed after a trial in 2006), and that Pope John Paul II would die in June 2004 (he actually died in April 2005). They also incorrectly predicted that the Bush/Gore 2000 presidential election would be a "crashing bore" (it was actually one of the closest and most controversial in history, requiring vote recounts and a Supreme Court intervention), and that actress Jennifer Lopez would announce that she was pregnant by 2004, or June 2005 (she did not become pregnant until November 2007).

    And here's a link to their current crop of predictions.

    They didn't actually predict it. Their website at the time never predicted it (using wayback to view) the actual words they used on Art Bell were more vague, federal buildings etc but they added to this as the months & years have gone by until now they claim they included the words twin towers in it but they never did.
    I did find the original recording somewhere so it is out there in webland
    I did a piece for Bad Psychics on them but the site has been closed so I can't give you a link and I'm not sure I still have original piece on my computer at home but will look later.

    Sorry can't find it ...must have deleted Lesson learned there! Anyway they basically added to the story until they did in fact include Bin Laden in their fictional account.

    As I recall there had been an earlier attack on the WTC with a car bomb in the basement, but that was prevented. Muslim extremists had apparently long regarded this as a prime target because it represented the western capitalist-dominated global economic system, which they hated. Not a difficult pick...

    It's easy to predict events after they have happened. This is another case of an all too common deceit. Sometimes it is outright lying, sometimes it is self-delusion.

    For several years after Princess Diana's death, we skeptics were able to point out that thousands of psychics, astrologers, gastromancers, etc, etc, all made predictions for her life that year and not a single one predicted her dying. Then The Sun newspaper started claiming that their new astrologer was the only person to predict Di's death. Now there are thousands of loonies who all claim to have foreseen it. None of them made any such claim before, or within a year after, her death.
