.. 'Cos when wot they sed long ago ends up happening.... Like they have had Divine Guidance, so accurate are the fulfilled predictions.
eg, 3 years ago... - 'Vaccine Passports'. and 'Social Credit Scores'. or, the UN sliding into a One World Government. - and we are seeing the World Health Organisation wanting EVERY country to sign up for their. (WHO). sovereign-overriding agreement to let them unilaterally declare Pandemics /Epidemics and YOUR Health Emergency mandated Measures. --- Or Else !!!

On the other hand, we're so accustomed to. EVERYONE. being able to predict a politician and election promises, You know, like everyone's electricity being cheaper....

In saying this, aren't Al Gore and our own Tim Flannery touted as prophets?

Touted, maybe. Snake oil merchants, sure, but not prophets. Prophecies are expected to come true.

I like obscure. Knowing that you do too, I'm surprised I missed it...
