2008 Disaster predictions taken one by one

Thanks to a loyal DCS reader for pointing this website to me: Great Dreams. This website is a never ending list of dreams and prophecies. You can literally spend a year reading all information on the website. Unfortunately, it ain’t what most of us would call information. While I don’t think it has any pretension of being 100% accurate, there are really a lot of random stuff out there! I came across an interesting list of potential disasters/predictions for 2008 and let’s have a look:

• 2008 will be a year of shocking news and large explosions with a serious increase of earthquakes and volcano eruptions. (Feb and Aug 2008)
  • Shocking news, large explosions, earthquakes, volcano eruptions. February’s now gone and I don’t recall such terrible events. Let’s get back to this one in August.

• Expect a full restructure of the internet.
  • What’s a full restructure of the internet? I mean, I’m in the computer industry and a FULL RESTRUCTURE is impossible. There are certainly changes coming up, but guess what: It’s called technology. Technology constantly evolves and the Internet evolves faster than any other technology, it’s no news to anybody. Important changes will be needed in the coming years to ensure the Internet continue to evolve, but a complete restructure of it is just a random thought.

• Total restructure and merging of many television networks.
  • Is total restructure a new buzz word I’m not aware of? I wouldn’t be surprised to see merging of a couple of television networks but that’s just business. We can say that with companies in general: 2008 will be a year were many companies will be merging together. That was also true in 2007 and will be true in 2009 as well.

• More action with UFO and new planets discovery
  • Planets discovery is a sure bet, the universe is full of planets we are not aware of and we discover new planets every year. As for UFOs, we have to make sure they exist in the first place.

• Merging of many airlines and terrible explosions/accidents
  • My comment on merging of many television networks also applies here, it’s called business and it’s a possibility.
  • Terrible explosions and accidents? It happens every year, I agree 100%. It’s just not a prediction, it’s a sure bet.

• A full restructure of the US economy is ahead and the reinstitution of the draft will bring much more death with children in Iraq.
  • Restructure again. US economy is not going very well right now, but a full restructure I’m not sure. It’s the same type of comment we saw with the “Full restructure of the internet”. Changes yes, modifications yes, but fill restructure is just too big. Communism maybe?

• Tremendous medical (heart) and technological discoveries are ahead of us.
  • No news here, next prediction please.

• Upsurge in earthquakes in the ring of fire (Japan) Aug/Feb. 2008
  • Let’s get back to this one in August.

• The US will experience an upsurge of earthquakes, large explosions and volcanoes activity (July/Aug/Feb 08)
  • Same here, we’ll review in August.

• Serious scary news pertaining to nuclear plants and nuclear technology secret deals in the US / Russia
  • We’ll see next year, saying no would be the same as predicting something.

• Nuclear accident at sea and/or in land - Feb/Aug 2008
  • We’re clear for February. August will be a big month according to this list

• Tremendous planetary action/changes in our Universe
  • I thought this was 2012. So now we have 2008 as well. Which year is the end of the world? Pole Shift?

• Death news for many famous people including President Bush, Larry King, and Clinton (Feb/Aug 08)
  • Famous people die every year. As for Bush, Larry King and Clinton, it doesn’t mention it will happen to them directly. I’m 95% sure they will face a death news during the year, they know so many people.

• Negative news from France and Italy Aug 2008
  • That is vague. There will also be negative news from the U.S., Canada, Germany, Russia, Iran, Iraq or any other country.

• Serious fires and explosions Feb/Aug 2008
  • I’m pretty sure this was covered before, it’s the third mention of explosions. Yes, I can confirm, explosions will occur in 2008 and fires will occur as well.

• Many famous people to die of heart attack and suicide in 2008
  • Many famous people die of heart attack and suicide every year.

• An upsurge of accident involving children
  • That’s vague. Accidents? Death?

• US total financial restructure (Feb/Aug 08)
  • isn’t that the same as “A full restructure of the US economy” that was covered before? I think it is.

• NASA full restructure.
  • Stop that restructure thing.

After reading this list, I would like to make a briefing of 2008:

There will be a full restructure of the Internet, NASA, television networks, US economy and merging of airlines. Many people will die of heart attacks and suicide, and death news will come for many famous people. Serious fires, explosions, earthquakes and volcano eruptions will also occur. Medical and technology discoveries will be made. Nuclear accidents will occur and nuclear technology secret deals will go on in US/Russia. And finally, important changes in our universe will occur and more children will have accidents.

You’re the judge. While 95% of the predictions are extremely vague and can be related to anything, I have the firm intention of getting this list out in 2009 (If I haven’t exploded in a nuclear accident and I can still run my website because of the full restructure of the internet) and have a look at every point again.
