Psychic Predicted Moment Occupy Would Start— Correctly

If you thought a sitcom predicting Moammar Gadhafi’s death was weird, check this out: A psychic predicted when Occupy Wall Street would begin, almost down to the minute, Mediaite reports. At a psychic panel in Kansas City in January, Steve MacDonald said the lower and middle classes would revolt at 3:45pm on Sept. 17; a local newspaper reported the prediction. The first OWS General Assembly meeting was at 3pm that day.
