Every new year the psychics put out their predictions for the following year. It's not that I'm a 100% skeptic on the topic, but the vast majority of psychics are fake, & use all sort of tricks to fool people. The few that aren't fake, try very hard, yet still only get a few things right, or just close enough.
Put it in perspective. The world is a big place with lots of people, & lots of countries. Almost anything within reason that you predict will happen somewhere. If you pay close attention to the news, science, & world events every day, you can predict a lot of stuff that will happen in the following year, & be right about it, with absolutely no psychic ability at all.
I predict a lot of stuff that comes true all the time, sometimes years in advance. Indeed, in my youth, some thought I was gifted with psychic powers. Nope, just some common sense & reasoning. With the news or information available, by simple reasoning I can say some stuff will probably happen next. If you go to the wayback/web archives pages to our old forum at Voy forums, you'll see predictions I made before Bush was elected, about what would happen in the middle east if he was elected. After he was elected & said he would go to war with Iraq, on Voy forums, I predicted everything that would happen with terrorists & the middle east again. It made me & Betty's very unpopular in the day, but everything I predicted came true. But I was labeled as unpatriotic & a traitor to our country for speaking the truth about what would happen.
Whether it was a war for oil or not doesn't matter much anymore after the damage was done. But the fact is, we meddled in the delicate balance of power & politics in the region with worldwide disastrous results... as I predicted it would.
I just paid attention to the news & world affairs a bit more closely that the electing public or the president did. It had nothing to do with psychic powers. But I got it all right while most of the psychics didn't even come close.
Let's look as your typical psychic who does it full time for a living or part time as a regular side job. If there's at least a couple big earthquakes a year one can be safe in predicting a couple big earthquakes next year. One may even look up earthquake-prone areas that are overdue for their next one, then take a chance to predict that area will have a big one soon... geologists do the same thing. Terrorists attacks are common at least since the 1960s. It requires no powers to accurately predict there will be more within a year. Homeland security can even predict where they'll try to strike next, with no psychics, & be right more than half the time.
It doesn't take magical powers to know if you abandon a filling bathtub, that it will eventually overflow & flood the bathroom.
So a popular psychic makes hundreds or over 1,000 predictions. Just by guessing, out of all of those, some of them will come true. But educated with the news, & world affairs, one can make very educated guesses, to increase the chances of some of them being right. Then you send out a list of only 10-20 of your predictions to every news agency & other witnesses, making sure each one gets a different list of predictions. Then at the end of the year a few news agencies or witnesses will hold up their list & say, wow they got a lot right!
Anywho, whether by powers, analytical common sense, or just guessing, here's the predictions for 2016:
