Sylvia Browne's predictions for 2007.

[BlueIris]

I yanked this off of one of my other favorite psychic/popular culture discussion boards today...take these with the gigantic bag of salt you must, of course, considering the source. I mean, I love a lot of Sylvia's predictions, but I've seen her miss pretty big, too, as have we all, and like a lot of modern day "practicing" psychics, um, well, she hasn't had a perfect personal life. But who has? Okay, here are her thoughts about the coming year, including celeb gossip for those who tangentially follow it like I do:

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will have a baby boy, stay together for 2 more years, and divorce.
Brad and Angelina wont make it either, they will split.
Marc Anthony and J Lo will never have a baby and will break up. J Lo cant have a baby.
Nicole Richie will end up in the hospital for so much self abuse
Martha Stewart's show will be canceled
Mel Gibson will just kind of go away
Tom Hanks will win some Excellence Award
Liz Taylor is dying, her "life force" is flickering.
Jen Aniston will marry a producer/director type
8 years and we will have a black president.
Polio and Whooping cough are making big comebacks because of crazy people who think vaccines are not good for you and contribute to autism
Bush will bring the troops home.
More states will approve gay marriage, not just civil unions
FEMA will be investigated, people will go to jail for stealing money.
Major drug bust in Eastern port in June, then another big one on west coast
Bomb parts will come in through the ports too, but NO major terrorist attacks here, although she is worried about England and France
Economy will bounce back, although stock market is a real roller coaster
Property is the best investment now, buy now, because its going down but will go back up next year
New drugs for HIV, AIDS, Hep C that really help patients
East coast will have one of the mildest winters you have seen (The current winter. She's right. This winter has been warm as hell here.)
West Coast will still be cold/rainy like it is now
Depression will be linked to diet
There will be an amino acid found that will put HIV into remission
Some glaciers will be breaking up at rapid speed, we are in a "polar tilt" tornadoes in odd places. More volcanos everywhere erupting, flooding in the south, earthquakes and tsunamis
Some crops will fail because of drought at end of the year and you wont even be able to afford corn and other produce
Really hard winter next year
More spirituality next year, bad press for Evangelicals, they are misusing money, buying lots of things for themselves
Tsunami in New York, she has been worried about this for years, and its coming
Cure for insulin dependent diabetes end of next year, major breakthroughs happening
Democrat in office next time
Worried about trucks and trains for terrorism worldwide, not planes
Find missing amino in autism kids that can be reversed
Gas prices will go down in February.

I hope she's right about gas prices. Oregon is hovering at the $2.65-85 mark for regular in most places and though I've really cut back my consumption--ugh.

1. I hope she is right about a cure for type 1 diabetes.

Wouldn't that be something!

[BlueIris]

3. There was an article in Scientific American in December about

a breakthrough advance toward a cure--beta cells. I'd post more but I'm suddenly pressed for time tonight.

6. They've already reversed it in mice

it was announced just recently, within the past month. http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2006/12/14/diabetes-neuron.html?ref=rss

[BluePatriot]

10. Yep, I remember reading that article

I'd say that's a possible hit for her. So exciting if they can cure diabetes.

[rumpel]

2. seems a little off for my taste

I am not a celeb follower, but if Mel quietly goes - that is fine with me

as for East Coast this winter this has been up for a while


and agree - gas is way too high, as well as regular utilities...

[Why Syzygy]

4. I don't mean to be ugly.

but I am so glad Jay Lo cannot have a baby.

Vaccines do contribute to autism. Let's deal with the diseases.

If Bush brings the troops home, I might commit hari kari. He is not worthy to bring them home. Though it must be done.

I hope the FEMA lockdown includes that nutty preacher who took all the money! What a LOSER.

Good news on the HIV protein. Hope she is right.

The gas prices are BAD NEWS.

At this point, I'm saying bring it on gaia. Make it right. I don't care what she does to correct all the imbalances imposed on Her. Make it right Mamma. I want her to exert her perfect right to rule.

12. What I can't believe is the whole "Tom and Katie have a boy"

prediction...pardon me for regressing into my celebrity-bashing hobby for a moment here, but...TOM AND KATIE NEVER HAD A GIRL. If Katie Holmes was pregnant, I'm Laura Bush. It's nice of Sylvia to keep their secret like that, though, even if she just did it to keep the scientologists away from her. Two years is actually much sooner than I thought Katie would get to escape from Tom, but I guess after she "has" his precious proof of his heterosexuality, there won't be much point in keeping her around anyway.

5. Did She Give A Time Frame For The Tsunami In NY?

Like to get out in time if I can.

[MorningGlow]

7. I can pick up the vibe on some of these

Others, not so much. But not everyone hits it all the time, like you said.

Tornadoes in odd places--yeah, like the one in London last month! And they are making progess with diabetes using capsaicin, of all things!

However, George will bring the troops home? I'll believe it when I see it, the stubborn bastard. (Did I type that out loud?)

[BuelahWitch]

8. Yeah, that would mean he cared about something

other than his own ego appeasement. Which would probably require a "walk-in" from a more benevolent entity...

[KAT119]

9. * wants a "surge" to protect the Halliburton/ Carlyle contractors -

"Victory' for him will be when his corporate oil interests have Total seizure of Iraq and Iran's oil-- which they do not have yet....

[Why Syzygy]

11. A surge?

what? In my most humble of opinions, they have control of it all the oil. Started to say the All, but no. That they cannot possess. What surge? They have it! They have had it and will have it.

It is just gumption to me, and becoming clearer, that the lower entities, rule the oil. We don't need it. How the hell did mankind live and evolve for 1,000's of years without petrol? It was done. It is becoming clear that this is a lower level of terror, which they do so well... we don't need petrol! If we do, then they better keep selling and stop the bullshit. I am so sick of this. I don't care if I live in a little dirt hut! The only people they can keep on a string are the ones addicted to mass media and 'entertainment'. Sorry, not me. And we can help the others get over the trauma.

I'm in my mother-lode role this morning. Tired of being held hostage. We can do better.
