Psychic Claims He Predicted Exact Date And Time Of Occupy Wall Street Beginning…And He Has Proof!

audio
» 24 comments

Now this is spooky. A Kansas City psychic is claiming that, back in January, he predicted the date and time — down to the minute! — that the Wall Street protests would begin. Not only that, but he has an audio recording of his prediction, and the prediction was written up by a local periodical shortly after he made it.

The prediction occurred at Aquarius (Kansas City’s New Age and Metaphysical Store) during an annual panel of psychics giving their predictions for the coming year. At one point, Steve MacDonald (a participating psychic), was asked when he thought the lower classes would decide they’ve had enough and revolt against their corporate overlords. MacDonald gave a much more specific answer than the questioner expected. His answer was quoted in a write up of the event published on January 24th by the University of Missouri-Kansas City:

“’The lower class and/or middle class revolt will be Sept. 17, at 3:45 p.m.,’ according to Steve MacDonald.”

Well, how about that? The organizers of Occupy Wall Street didn’t even propose the idea till an email sent in July. Another reason why this is so spooky is that the first General Assembly of Occupy Wall Street was reportedly scheduled for Sept. 17th at 3:00PM. FREAKY DEAKY!

First the Matthew Perry sitcom/Gaddafi thing and now this? Somehow our site has transformed today into a hotbed of psychic activity. (I wonder if anyone predicted that?)

Now, this writer is a complete skeptic, so I’m looking for where MacDonald is hiding his smoke and mirror collection. Maybe he’s just an avid Glenn Beck fan?

However, maybe this is real. Maybe MacDonald really did foresee this huge, global event months before it occurred. If that’s the case, the response should be clear. Clearly this dude needs to start writing Matthew Perry sitcoms.

Listen to an audio clip of the question and MacDonald’s answer below:

    On Sept. 17th at 3:45 PM 2041 the writer of this peice will mature enough to not write like a teenager.

    Articles like this are always telling as to the age and life experiences of the writer.Believe it or not,there are some people with psychic abilities and insights.Yes there are also a lot of people who claim to have this but are just scam artists.

    In this case,who knows,he DID get it almost perfectly.I don’t view it as a reason to treat it like a joke.

    Open your eyes,hearts and minds to what is possible.It’ll make you more human.

    Nostradamus predicted it too!

    Also, the first General Session is an arbitrary “beginning” to choose. Why not the date of the first #OccupyWallSt tweet? Or the day the police started arresting people?

    I predicted last week that you would defend a guy who looks like a Dave Grohl figure at a wax museum.

    No such thing as psychics, retnug.

    Use your critical thinking skills, it will make you a better human.

  • lazzzlo

    He does look like Dave Grohl doesn’t he?

    He was channeling Stephen Lerner.

    OK tough guy, now win the lotto.

    If by “huge global event” you mean handful of cranks, then yeah, you might be on to something.

    This is no different than the million monkeys on typewriters, etc. etc.

    As far as Beck is concerned, it was much less “prediction” and much more documenting what the planners and backers of the event had been saying in planning sessions and e-mail communications for months – despite the fact that he wasn’t a reporter (though he does have a research staff).

    Steve MacDonald has been an accurate psychic for decades. He was on the Arsenio Hall show and featured in People Magazine years ago.

    Did he eat a big-mac before or after that prediction or was it a double cheeseburger

  • Yukon Jack

    Get this punk predict the numbers drawn on the next  $300 million lottery.

    I bet he will be OFF by about 45 numbers.

    Publicity-seeking yahoos appeal to the weak-minded.

  • Annie555

    Listen to the audio again. He actually said “3 — 3:45 in the afternoon” which is a ballpark, not a precise time.

  • Porphyry

    …Except that the F*ccupationists neither constitute nor represent an actual social class. Socialist classists, perhaps.

    Mr. MacDonald is a truly gifted psychic. His predictions are usually very accurate and reputable. I highly respect him and his psychic abilities.
