Bay Area Skeptics

PSYCHICS' PREDICTIONS FIZZLE FOR 1992

President Bush was not re-elected. Madonna did not become a gospel singer, and
a UFO base was not found in the Mexican desert. These were just a few of the
many predictions that had been made for 1992 by famous "psychics", but were
dead wrong, as chronicled by the Bay Area Skeptics.

At the end of each year, many well-known "psychics" issue predictions for the
year to come. Twelve months later, they issue another set of predictions,
conveniently forgetting those made the year before, which are always nearly
100% wrong. Each year, however, the Bay Area Skeptics dig up the predictions
made the year before, to the embarrassment of those who made them.

Many of the "psychic" predictions made are so vague that it is impossible to
say if they came true or not: for example, Jeane Dixon's prediction that
Tracey Gold "faces perilous periods in July and October" [The Star, April 14,
1992] is not obviously true or false. Many other "predictions" involve things
that happen every year, or else are not difficult to guess, such as terrorist
incidents, marital strife for Charles and Diana, or severe winter storms.
Many supposed "predictions" simply state that ongoing events and trends will
continue, such as economic uncertainty, or conflict in the Middle East. Some
predictions did of course come true, especially those that were unspecific,
or not at all difficult to guess: several "psychics" correctly predicted that
a hurricane would cause major destruction in Florida or Cuba, but not one was
specific as to the date or principal location of the damage. Hurricanes occur,
of course, every season in the Caribbean. Significantly, not one prediction
which was both specific and surprising came true.

Other supposed "predictions" are not really predictions at all, but are
actually disclosures of little-known events which are already under way, such
as movie productions, marriage plans, business ventures, or developing
scandals. Because questionable claims of having made an amazing prediction
are frequently made in the wake of major news stories, the Bay Area Skeptics
only evaluates predictions that were published or broadcast before the events
they claimed to foretell.

New York "psychic" Lou Wright predicted that three men would unsuccessfully
attempt to kidnap Candice Bergen in Paris, and Marlon Brando would be arrested
for trying to bust his son out of jail [Natl. Enquirer, Jan. 2, 1992].

Los Angeles "psychic" Maria Graciette predicted that a secret UFO base would
be found deep in the Mexican desert, thousands of years old, and that Vice-
President Dan Quayle, attending a World Series game, would impulsively inter-
fere with a play [National Enquirer, June 9, 1992].

New York "psychic" John Monti predicted that "a massive hurricane will
devastate Cuba and topple Castro's regime," that a huge AIDS epidemic would
"threaten to end professional sports" [National Enquirer, Jan. 2, 1992], and
that a scientific advance would allow women to delay menopause, allowing them
to have children into their 60s [National Enquirer, June 9, 1992].

The famous Washington, D.C. "psychic" Jeane Dixon, who supposedly has a "gift
of prophecy",saw that Fidel Castro would be overthrown, possibly resulting in
Cuba becoming part of the U.S., and Virginia governor Douglas Wilder would
gain enough support for a "vice-presidential invitation". President-elect
Bill Clinton, however, she described as "the Democratic shooting star," for
whom "an organization of women will try to block his path" [The Star, Jan. 21,
1992]. President Bush's ratings would climb, resulting in his reelection [The
Star, July 7, 1992]. She also predicted "a promising economic upturn in the
spring," and that "broccoli will become the miracle vegetable of the '90s"
[The Star, Jan. 21, 1992].

Chicago "psychic" Irene Hughes predicted that Vanna White and her husband
would purchase a "haunted" mansion in Beverly Hills, from which they would
flee in terror a week later. Madonna's career would be interrupted by a
"mystery illness," but she would recover after having a religious vision, and
become a gospel singer [National Enquirer, June 9, 1992].

New York "psychic" Laura Steele predicted that an earthquake would topple the
Gateway Arch in St. Louis, and that William Kennedy Smith would enter the
priesthood to become a missionary in Africa [National Enquirer, Jan. 2, 1992].

Los Angeles "psychic" Judy Hevenly predicted that George Bush would be re-
elected "by a landslide," that Madonna would be hit by a car while jogging in
New York's Central Park [National Enquirer, Jan. 2, 1992], and that Gennifer
Flowers would join the cast of a popular daytime soap opera [National
Enquirer, June 9, 1992].

Another Southern California "psychic," Clarisa Bernhardt, who is claimed to
make "uncanny earthquake predictions," warned that scientists would be
"shocked" in October when supposedly earthquake-proof Florida is hit by a
trembler, only weeks after being hit by "the worst hurricane in the state's
history." The prediction that this year's hurricane season would produce
Florida's worst destruction yet was correct,but the earthquake prediction was
dead wrong. Bernhardt also predicted that Joan Lunden would renew her
marriage vows on her TV show, "Good Morning America" [National Enquirer, June
9, 1992],that Michael Jackson would lose his voice and quit singing, and that
Joan Rivers would be plagued by three look-alikes created through "extensive
plastic surgery" [National Enquirer, Jan. 2, 1992].

Joan Quigley of San Francisco, White House astrologer to the Reagans,
predicted that Bill Clinton would run out of money toward the campaign's end,
and that the total eclipse of the sun on June 30 will cause earthshaking
events in China [Washington Post, April 18, 1992].

Here in Northern California, the date of that devastating California earth-
quake everybody keeps predicting was pegged for Oct. 17, the third anniver-
sary of the Loma Prieta quake, by "psychic" Ernesto A. Moshe Montgomery, who
claims an accuracy of 99 1/2 percent [San Jose Metro, Feb. 27, 1992].

Based on the continuing failure of the "psychics" to make accurate predictions
over the years, the Bay Area Skeptics urges everyone - especially the media-
to exercise some healthy skepticism when "psychics" and other purveyors of the
paranormal make extra-ordinary claims or predictions. Anyone who swallows
the "psychics'" claims year after year without checking the record is setting
a bad example for students and for the public.

It is important to note that no "psychic" succeeded in predicting the
genuinely surprising news stories of 1992: The destructive fire in Windsor
Castle; the feud between Vice-President Quayle and Murphy Brown; the surpris-
ing presidential campaign of Ross Perot. These major news stories were so
totally unexpected that someone would have had to be genuinely "psychic"
to have predicted them twelve months ago! Given the sheer number of so-called
"psychics" out there, one would expect that if even one of them were genuine,
these things would have been correctly predicted; and since they were not, it
suggests that all such claims of "psychic powers" are without foundation.

The Bay Area Skeptics is a group of people from all walks of life who support
the critical examination of paranormal claims, such as psychic powers, UFOs,
astrology, Bigfoot, biorhythms, etc. Similar skeptics' organizations are
active in many other areas of the country, including New York, Colorado,
Georgia, Illinois, Southern California, Arizona, Texas, and Ohio. The
Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal
(CSICOP), headquartered in Buffalo, NY, is an international Skeptics' organi-
zation, made up of many famous writers, scientists, and investigators, such
as Martin Gardner, Stephen Jay Gould, Carl Sagan, Philip J. Klass, and many
others.

Skeptics, you can call their recorded message line at 510-LA TRUTH.

Fill out this coupon
and save the aliens

Complete this simple questionnaire, and befriend a needy
space alien through the Save the Aliens Foundation. For
only sizty-five cents a day, your money can breathe life [graphics]
into an impoverished alien base...help hardworking aliens
fight for their dignity....turn despair into hope for an
alien who has known only life as an insect, reptile, or
clone. Sixty-five cents may not buy much where you live,
but for desperate aliens, it can work miracles.

My Name is_______________________________________________

Address_______________________________________Apt._______

City__________________________State___________Zip________

Tell us how you want to help, by answering these questions:

1. What kind of alien would you like to sponsor:

__ Tall Grey
__ Short Grey
__ Reptilian Master

2. What geographical area are you interested in?

Urgent need exists in all the areas listed below, especially in
outer space. If you have a strong preference for a particular
location, check the area of your choice. If not, won't you please
let us assign an alien where the need is greatest?

__ Certainly. Choose an alien for me in an area of greatest need.

__ Zeta Reticuli __ Belletrax __ Draco
__ Barnard's Star __ Groom Lake __ Area 51
__ S-4 Base __ Dreamland __ Dulce Base
__ Pleiades __ Alomogordo __ The Moon
__ Mars __ Middle Earth __ Nightmare Hall
__ A very crowded and smelly planetoid heading toward Earth
__ Superstition Mountain

3. Would you like a frozen DNA sample of your sponsored alien?

Shortly after we select an alien for you, we can send you a
photograph, a brief personal history and a registered DNA sample
stored in liquid nitrogen. You can grow one right in your own
home! (Cattle mutilation kit NOT included.)

__ Yes __ No

4. Would you like information about your alien's home planet or
underground base?

Because 44 years of experience has taught us that direct handouts
of blood, tissue, and glandular secretions are the least effective
way of helping aliens, your sponsorship contributions are not
distributed that way. Instead they are used to help aliens in the
most effective way possible - by helping the entire underground
base with projects and services, such as human organs, batch
consignment slaves, street people to perform genetic experiments
on, and scientists to be kept as pets. You can receive detailed
reports - duly notarized by the Jason Scholars and MJ-12 - on these
activities which provide permanent improvements in your alien's
environment.

__ Yes __ No

5. Would you like to exchange correspondence?

If desired, correspondence can help build a meaningful one-to-one
relationship. Translations, where necessary, are supplied by
Save the Aliens.

__ Yes __ No

6. How do you wish to send your sponsorship contribution?

__ My check for $20 is enclosed for my first monthly
sponsorship contribution.
__ A pint of my blood and some thyroid and pituitary tissue
is enclosed.
__ Ten rocks of crack cocaine and a tenth of a gram of heroin
are enclosed. Please sell them to help the aliens.

7. Do you wish verification of Save the Aliens credentials?

Save the Aliens is indeed proud of the handling of its funds.
Based on last year's audit, an exceptionally large percentage of
each dollar, tissue, or blood sample was used for direct aid to
the aliens in their bases. Drugs were sold by the CIA to the
dregs of society to help buy the alien bases. Due to slave labor
and materials that were purchased using Pentagon "Black Budget"
funds, your donation provides your alien with benefits worth
many times your total gift. Would you like to receive an
informative Annual Report (including a money laundering tracer
statement)?

__ Yes __ No

8. Would you rather make a contribution than become a sponsor
at this time?

Please show up at Fred's Cafe in Dulce, New Mexico, anytime
during the next six months. We'll send one of our special
representatives to guide you to our corporate headquarters.

TIPS FOR PERFORMERS: Playing cards have the top half upside-down to help
cheaters. There are a finite number of jokes in the universe. Singing is a
trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
There is no music in space. People will pay to watch people make sounds.
Everything on stage should be larger than in real life.

LIVING WITH OTHER PEOPLE: Violence on television only affects children whose
parents act like television personallities. Table manners are for people who
have nothing better to do. Civilization is a religion. Civilized people walk
funny. There is always a party going on somewhere. People will remember you if
you always wear the same outfit.

LIFE ON EARTH: Men like pastries, women like custards. Scientists have
invented a love drug, but it only works on bugs. Animals like earthquakes,
tornadoes, and volcanic activity. Nuclear weapons can wipe out life on Earth,
if used properly. Cats like houses better than people. Dolphins find people
amusing, but they don't want to talk to them. People look ridiculous when
they're in ecstasy. Schools are for training people how to listen to other
people. Body odor is the window to the soul. Sound is worth money.

IN THE HOME: There have been cases where people's shoes got stuck on their
feet and could never be removed. The best way to get rid of unwanted flying
insects is to have strong body odor. There hasn't been a good=looking American
car in 20 years. There is always something on television. The best length for
television programs is either 30 seconds or 8 hours.

THE SPACE PEOPLE: Space People read our mail. The Space People think that TV
news programs are comedies, and that soap operas are news. The Space People
will contact us when they can make money by doing so. The Space People think
factories are musical instruments. They sing along with them. Each song lasts
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. No music on weekends.

MONEY: People will do odd things if you give them money. When everything is
worth money, then money is worth nothing. If you keep your money in your shoe,
then people will know which bills are yours. If you crumple your money into
little bills, it will never stick together. The best way to touch money is by
the edges. U.S. money is the worst looking money in the world.

WORLD TRAVEL: Passport pictures are what people really look like. Rich people
will travel great distances to look at poor people. Toast is the national dish
of Australia. People never travel to look at flat landscapes. People would
rather watch things than eat. Looking at postcards is better than looking at
the real thing. Looking up is as scary as looking down.

IN THE FUTURE: In the future, women will have breasts all over. In the future,
it will be a relief to find a place without culture. In the future, plates of
food will have names and titles. In the future, we will all drive standing up.
In the future, love will be taught on television and by listening to pop
songs.

WORK: Crime is a job. Sex is a job. Growing up is a job. School is a job.
Going to parties is a job. Religion is a job. Being creative is a job.
