Predictions For 2005

[Mighty_Emperor]

This is doing the rounds - it sounds suspiciously like something suitable for Snopes (I searched for Sidney Has No Horses and onyl got this) so I might move this to ULs if there is any confirmation it is lag but one would hope that this source would check its sources:

Sidney Has No Horses

(Editor’s note: The following was forwarded to Sota readers from Angelique Eaglewoman.)

Dated October 17, 2005.

Robert Walters:

Mr. Chairman, thank you and Council. With us is Sidney
Has No Horses. He’s a medicine man from Oglala and Mr.
Chairman he has a message that he is (taking) to all
the tribes, all the tribes, all the reservations,
which came out of a ceremony – and I feel it’s a good
message. I visited Mr. Has No Horses and so at this
time, I’d like to get the floor for him.

Sidney Has No Horses:

Mitakuye Oyasin. All my relatives.

I’d like to get in the middle if I could, I really
don’t like to use the mic.

My name is Sidney Has No Horses. I’m from the Pine
Ridge Indian Reservation.

You probably know my father, his name was Dawson Has
No Horses. He was a Yuwipi man, a powerful medicine
man. My grandfather’s name is Frank Fools Crow. He was
also a powerful medicine man.

Six months ago, we had a ceremony. In this ceremony,
two angels came to me and they talked to me and they
told us of the devastation that would happen to the
islands and the Indian Ocean. They told us of the
earthquakes that would hit Japan. They told us of the
tsunami that wiped out all the people and they told us
of the hurricanes that came to Florida, the one that
came to New Orleans, and the one that went to Texas.

There’s one more hurricane coming to wipe out another
city.

Two weeks ago, we had a ceremony, Sitting Bull, he
came in and he talked to me. Crazy Horse, he talks to
me. Chief Big Foot talked to me. And they asked me to
go to the seven council fires and to the council
people and to warn all of these fires, within six
months there’s going be a tidal wave that’s going to
wipe out Los Angeles. Within six months, there’s going
to be an eruption in the northwest with the volcanoes.
They say from the eruptions of these volcanoes, the
ash that is coming, the Missouri River will be
destroyed. They say the water that we drink from the
ground is going to be no longer drinkable.

These hardships are coming because God is bringing
this. Whether you believe in Christianity, Native
American Church, or the Traditional way, if you read
the Bible, we’re going into the fourth seal. There’s
diseases coming that are going to wipe out our
children and like this man said here, methamphetamine
on our rez is very bad too. If we don’t stop that,
it’s going to destroy the next generation. Many
vegetables are going to be born into our tribes.

When I’m done here, I’m going to Standing Rock and I’m
going to stand in front of them, their council and
tell them the same thing I am telling you now. This
winter is going to be very cold for a long time.
Ranchers are going to lose their horses and cows
because it ain’t going to warm up. The price of is
going to skyrocket and sometimes they’re not going to
be able to deliver the to our families.

This food issue in the Bible, it says one day there be
no food on the store shelves. If you look at the
hurricanes, in a lot of the stores there’s not food on
the shelves. These people lost their homes. They can’t
drink that water . . . and so I come because of the
mighty chiefs that talked to me and because of who I
am. They tell me, I need to warn the tribes.

Today I came here without announcement, but to see you
all gathered like this. I know God is on my side to
see you gathered.

The Sisseton-Wahpeton tomorrow will be gathered at 10
o’clock and they will hear what I have to say.

The Flandreau people are going to be waiting for me
tomorrow evening.

I’m going up to Ft. Yates here, I’m going to talk to
them even if it’s after hours and so I thank you very
much for letting me come in and I’m thankful that I
got all of you together at the same time.

I offer you all a handshake. My name is Sidney Has No
Horses. I am from Batesland, South Dakota.

You might want to write this down. My phone number is
605-288-0097. We incorporated ourselves through the
state of South Dakota to let you know that we are
serious.

Within six months, we are going to be living in a hell
of a world and these chiefs have talked to me, me and
my cousins.

If you ever want a ceremony, you get ahold of us and
we will bring you a ceremony to let you believe.

But the chiefs tell me, some of you have good hearts.
Some of you have good minds. Some of you have
spirituality. You are the people that will take heed
on the word that I bring, and there’s a lot of people
that didn’t believe us when everything we told them
has happened and my President, Cecelia Fire Thunder, I
talked to her yesterday and she supports because
everything I told her would happen to our tribe has
happened.

The power of God, he knows what he’s bringing to us
and in three years, as the keepers of Mother Earth, if
the seven Fires do not come together, there’s going to
be a meteorite that will be coming and it’s going to
hit off of San Francisco and they told us that Seven
Council Fires, these Seven Fires never had and
jealousy toward each other.

I’ve been trying to get the medicine men of Oglala to
come in unity, but they can’t and now God asked me to
come and get all the Tribal Councils together and all
the tribes together. That’s a very hard job that he
has given me. I’m very nervous as I stand here in
front of you, but I tried to look you all I the eye to
let you know that I’m for real and so at this time,
these are foods for thought, things you can think
about in the next six months and this is coming to us.

It’s very hard for me to say this, but I thank you for
the little time you have given me. I thank you. Now
I’m going to Standing Rock. I will be going to every
reservation. Maybe the tribal members will get
together and at least the tribal presidents will have
a ceremony for all you to hear and believe in God.

All my relatives. Mitakuye Oyasin. You have my phone
number and so if any questions, please contact me.

This meeting was held in Eagle Butte on October 4,
2005 at their regular October session and was signed
by Winona Charger Assistant Tribal Secretary.
Mitakuye Oyasin.

Hayek predictions score high marks

Lebanese jitters silence renowned psychic

By Ayat Basma

BEIRUT (Reuters) - A year after he predicted a rash of political killings and upheaval, Lebanon's most famous clairvoyant will not tell a jittery public what 2006 holds when he makes his usual end-year television appearance.

Thousands of Lebanese tune in every New Year's Eve to hear what Michel Hayek foresees, but the 38-year-old said he no longer wanted to be seen as the bearer of bad news. 'After all the clamour surrounding my 2005 predictions and the rumours that spread later in my name, I have decided not to announce my predictions for this year (2006),' Hayek told Reuters. 'What has troubled me most are the rumours. I don't want to be the reason people are afraid to go to the grocer or send their children to school.' A rumour spread by mobile phone text messages and attributed to Hayek predicted mass bombings would tear apart central Beirut earlier this month. So scared were Lebanese, whose nerves have been worn by a string of such attacks, that many shunned Christmas shopping and Sunday strolls to stay home.

Hayek denies saying 'something weird' would happen downtown that weekend, but many felt his predictions for 2005 had proved so uncannily accurate that any rumour was too scary to ignore.

Hayek predicted last December that 'a major incident in downtown Beirut would shake the area for a long time.' In February, a truck bomb killed former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri and 22 others on the edge of central Beirut, sparking a wave of protests that paralysed the area for weeks.

Hayek predicted the government would collapse, and it did. He predicted the currency would come under strong pressure but survive, and it did. He predicted the media would come under attack. Two journalists have been assassinated this year and one was badly injured by a bomb in her car.

Among the dead was publisher and lawmaker Gebran Tueni, whom Hayek actually named as a target of violence, along with a cabinet minister and President Emile Lahoud.

Defence Minister Elias al-Murr narrowly survived an assassination attempt in July and Lahoud has been the target of a sustained campaign of political pressure to resign.

ON EDGE

Not all Hayek's predictions have come true, but enough to make him shun the limelight. 'Michel Hayek's star predictions transform the heart of Beirut into a desert at high noon,' said the front page of Arab newspaper Al-Hayat on December 18, shortly after Tueni's killing and at the height of the text message prophecies of doom.

It said some businesses in central Beirut had even threatened to sue Hayek for ruining their normally busy weekend.

More than a dozen attacks have rocked Lebanon since Hariri's killing. Many Lebanese blame Syria, the main powerbroker in Lebanon before it withdrew its troops in April, for the attacks. 'I do not believe anything he says but people are on edge and are susceptible to anything,' said housewife Siham Hammoud.

Haitham Khalil, 17, disagrees: 'I believe him because all his predictions, or most of them, have happened.' Hayek first found fame in the mid-1980s, when he predicted the destruction of the U.S. Challenger space shuttle. He also foresaw the death of Princess Diana in a 1997 car crash.

He does not offer psychic services to ordinary people but has been predicting the future as a 'consultant to firms in the United States, Britain and Australia' for eight years. 'It's not my fault that these things happen, I do not make them happen, I just see them,' he said. 'I wish all my predictions did not come true and all those people did not die. Nothing is worth the innocent blood that has been spilt.'

Scientists will reveal for the first time something that was already revealed some years ago by someone else.

Now someone has 'discovered' this:

Eating fish keeps older people brainy
16:13 11 October 2005
NewScientist.com news service
Shaoni Bhattacharya

Eating fish at least once a week may keep you brainy in old age, new research suggests.

A study of about 4000 senior citizens of Chicago in the US showed that all of them lost some cognitive sharpness – such as memory and speed of thinking – as the years passed.

However, among those who ate fish once a week, the rate of cognitive decline was about 10% slower. And it was 13% slower among those who consumed at least two fish meals a week. The difference is the equivalent of being three to four years younger, say the researchers.

etc...

http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn8131

Now as far as I know, P.G.Wodehouse was not a neurophysiologist, so presumably he was tapping into some common knowledge of his times when he had Bertie Wooster saying things like:
"Jeeves is frightfully brainy. He eats a lot of fish, y'know!"

A quick google turns up loads of references to Jeeve's ''legendary
fish-fueled brain."

So if these researchers had read more Wodehouse, they could have saved themselves a lot of time (and probably become more amusing people as well!)

And now...!

Fish could protect against Alzheimer's
Eating fish could protect against Alzheimer's disease and memory loss – but only if it is baked or grilled, researchers have claimed.
By Nick Collins, Science Correspondent
7:15AM GMT 30 Nov 2011

A study by US scientists found that elderly people who eat fish at least once a week are three to five times less likely to develop the conditions than people who did not.

But it is essential that the fish is cooked in a manner that preserves the vital Omega-3 fatty acids which help protect the brain, researchers said.

Grilling or baking the meat provides the maximum levels of Omega-3, which increase blood flow to the brain, reduce inflammation and limit the build-up of harmful plaques which precedes Alzheimer's.

In contrast fried fish has very low amounts of Omega-3 and consequently offers no protection whatsoever against dementia and age-related memory loss, known as Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh studied a group of 260 healthy volunteers with an average age of 76.

In a study to be presented at the Radiological Society of North America annual meeting tomorrow (WED), they questioned the participants about how regularly they ate fish.

Brain scans carried out ten years later showed that those who did not eat fish regularly had suffered much more shrinkage in key areas of the brain linked to working memory.

A further five years on, they found that 31 per cent of non-regular fish eaters had gone on to develop Alzheimer's or MCI, compared with between three and eight per cent of those who ate fish at least once a week.

I eat a lot of fish - I just wish it was as good for arthritis too...

Alice Cooper will die in 2005.

Dunno what brought that on. Was right last year about Alastair Cooke popping his clogs though!


Yes, all right. And spectacularly wrong about Tom Jones t'year before.

Was thinking about Alice Cooper today, along the lines of 'He's getting on, former heavy drinker, I bet he'll die this year.'
Dunno why.

I'm normally wrong, of course.
