Thats why I mentioned Banda Aceh, that one at least no one argues about.

The theory is based on something about humans 'leaking' prescient information based on which words they use in everyday speech. While he has made a few spectacular predictions, like the Banda Aceh tsunami, mostly he winds up predicting headlines but not actual events. So if a few web prognosticators claim Gold is going to the moon he usually winds up predicting that will happen instead of 'that will make the headlines' and thus get into peoples heads. Re: Layer 3
