How To Predict A Ritual Sacrifice With The Office Birthday Party

Here’s the follow up video to the prediction that George Bush Senior would die on September 4th.

Now that I’m phasing out actively blogging and searching through any where near as many comments as I used to I didn’t see as much as I would have months ago.  There might have been someone actually acknowledge what I’m about to say.  What we have here is a classic example of a prediction that isn’t a prediction.

Here’s the way it went down:
1). George predicted to die exactly on the 4th.
2). It didn’t happen.
3). He was in the news, though.  So that’s close enough.  You see, September 3rd, not the 4th is an important date.  So instead of orchestrating the death on the day that would make more sense they read the box score the day after and found out Bob the Hitman struck out and settled for the evil media reporting on something that had a near 0% chance of not happening.

If you’ve ever worked in an office setting with a fair number of people you can’t get away from the inevitable office birthday party celebration.  These don’t happen for each person every single year.  That gets to be a bit too much.  Pizza and cake once a week isn’t good for you and turkey wraps, salad and bottled water doesn’t really seem that festive.  So when somebody hits a birthday anniversary that ends with a zero the party train is boarded to make up for lost time.

You get the streamers, a singing telegram from somebody dressed as the Grim Reaper for the big 5-0 gig.  Lots of cards and a couple presents depending on if the person is well liked.  Congratulations!  You made it through another decade!  There’s also some significance to anniversaries that end in a 5, but usually only a 25th because that serves double duty for the 50th and there’s not that much fuss with a 5 compared to a 0.

So, George had his ➡️30th⬅️ Thousand Points of Light speech on the 3rd.  The media doesn’t predict what’s going to happen and waits to see the box score.  Did Ricky Gervais make some off color jokes roasting George?  Did any of the Trump family crash the event?  Did Barbara rise from the grave and give a pre- George death eulogy?  Whether consciously picked or a happy accident the fall back position of “being in the news” was bound to happen.  It’s unlikely that George will make it another five or ten years and still be lucid enough for a celebration of some kind.

The cover up for predictive failure is complete by reusing “the day that leaves 119 days left in the year.”  The actual death was not Sept 4th.  And not 9/11 (I’m sure we’ll hear about George in the news then.  Especially gloating about being right all along should he actually die on the 11th)* which would have arguably made more sense than the 3rd.

The reason I bring up box scores is to highlight to the sports predictors that read.  This same failure isn’t going to help you with gambling.  If you put $100 on the Nationals to win and they don’t, the bookie is not going to say, “Oh, if they win sometime in the next month I’ll give you your payoff.”

Nobody ever predicts anything with gematria.  It’s all based on other criteria that happens to align with the numbers that can be produced for any event.  Here it’s like the celebrity death list game where George is just old instead of the Patriots being the preseason favorite to win the Super Bowl.
