Apparently on Alxe jones site infowars a prediction has come true.

"Listen to Estulins comments on the 2006 bilderberg meeting..how much has come true."

You would think if 100$+ barrels of oil was part of their master plan, they would at least figure out how to keep it there. I guess they allowed it to drop because their plan was discovered and now they have to lure us back to sleep.

The important thing to consider with predictions is how many other people made, or could have made, the same prediction, and how many predictions the person in question has made. OK, two important things. In this case, predicting that oil would go above $100/barrel is not at all impressive, since pretty much anyone with any knowledge of economics, and many without that knowledge, predicted exactly the same thing. Following current events and prediciting what might happen in the near future is quite easy really, and anyone who does so is guaranteed to get a fair number of predicitions correct.

Which leads on to the next point, if you make enough predictions, some of them are bound to come true. Being able to predict economic trends with great accuracy would certainly be a useful skill, but if only 1/10 of your predictions are correct it becomes much less useful, especially since you have no way of knowing which are the correct ones. Alex Jones has made probably thousands of predictions, and most of them don't come true. We haven't had world war 3, Jews haven't taken over the world, the US hasn't declared martial law, there isn't a North American Union, there are no FEMA happy camps, and so on. The fact that he may occasionally get one right seems a lot less impressive when you consider just how many he gets wrong. As the saying goes, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. So far, Alex Jones is doing rather worse. That's really not something to be proud of.
