I don't think that people do NOT have the foresight to predict outcomes based on the balance of probabilities, quite the opposite.. I believe (as I stated) that if you or I dedicate enough time to a topic we will see the trends and we will be able to draw some amazing conclusions, given time these conclusions are likely to come to fruition... but it has nothing to do with prediction and everything to do with foresight and thought process.
By way of a simple example.. if I add 1+1 I get 2... now if I keep adding 1 to the result I will keep increasing the number by a factor of '1'.. if I do this 200 times I should get to 200... guess what happens if I actually do this unencumbered... I will get to 200... its not a prediction, all things being equal, if I keep adding 1 to the result I will get to 200.. now, if during that course I start subtracting numbers from the result, I will 'likely' get to 200 over time and depending on how much I keep subtracting from the result... I am not a fortune teller, no one is, its just that some people are better adept at looking at the long term results given certain stimuli.
But the fact that people do this is definately noteworthy.. and definately of value especially when they can foretell with confidence a given outcome, it then depends on who is willing to agree and take actions at the time of the prediction, and who has the will to publicly make the announcement. Most people will never listen though. Now, even retrospectively there is lots of value and lessons to be learnt when these predictions come true, firstly, it shows that the person is very knowledgeable and if still alive worthy of a chat on the topic, and secondly, lessons learnt from the past should serve as great tools for the future.

Interesting post Shapeshifter, on several levels....
I think you have taken the OP's title very literately about "prediction", because William Cooper researched documents and found policy documents that outline the "predictions". In fact you are quite right to a degree, it is thought process and time, but if had actually watched the vid or read the links posted instead of wading in with your size 15's on, all up and eager to debunk an erroneous title instead of the content contained with in it you would have seen that...
How do I know you didn't watch the vid???

at 00:11 seconds into the vid it tells you quite clearly he was killed just after 9/11 and again the narrator in the intro quite clearly states that he was killed.
If you are going to debunk a thread at least have the common decency to look over the information contained within it, then maybe you might see why others such as Ironman are intersted in this and post subsequent links for the perusal of those interested, rather than do a Phillip Klass and claim to know the answers with bothering to check the info...
You might have two balls, and I agree there are not made of crystal, but it seems that maybe you still have to strap them on...
