Psychics Plan to End Receission By Magic

It’s no seceret that a population’s feelings and expectations are an important aspect of the econemy. Consumer confidence, worries of the future or irrational exuberance can make or break any consumer-driven economic system. But in the UK, some self-proclaimed “psychics” claim they will be able to fix the econemy once and for all and lift Europe out of the recent global slump through… magic, or rather “positive energy.”
Psychics plan to bring recession to an end
PSYCHICS are going to attempt what Gordon Brown has been unable to accomplish – plucking Britain from the grasp of the recession.
The all-female group, including psychic mentor Amanda Hart of Admirals Way in Colney Heath, will be undertaking the biggest psychic experiment in Britain using positive thinking to drive away the recession.
They are hoping the positive thoughts of 60 million people nationwide will prove powerful enough to bring an end to the ongoing economic crisis.
A silence, dubbed The Faith of Britain Day, will take place on March 6 from 11am and it is hoped all people across the country join in. Amanda, who discovered her spiritual powers after “miraculously” surviving a deadly bout of septicemia, said: “Anyone from Tescos to leisure centres can join in,”
Hmm. Seems like a good plan to me for a simplistic and idiotic scam, which is generally what psychic powers are all about. Econemies tend to fluxuate and given the current situation, it can only go so much further down before there’s some kind of rebound. At that point, they can claim credit, even if it doesn’t happen for a year or if it’s just a modest gain. In any case, when the event happens and nothing occures, you can bet the psychics won’t be looking for press. They will only step up to claim their credit when and if they get the chance to claim it was successful.

So what else is new? Another hairbrained idiotic psychic scam. My only wonder here is why the news media even stops to give them any attention. I wonder if I wrote a letter to the local paper announcing that I was planning on detatching my jaw and expanding my mouth so I could swallow the moon and that I needed to get this into the media so anyone living near the coast would be forewarned of an impending shift in tidal activity, I wonder if they would publish that. It would be no more or less ridiculous.
Or to put it a bit shorter, this is a non-story

If they’re psychic shouldn’t they already know if this works or not and how well it works? And if so, doesn’t that cause a paradox? I mean if they know it will work then don’t do it, will it work anyway?
it’s like the thought experiment of the machine that sends a photon back in time. There’s a machine that sends a photon back in time by one second. Next to the machine is a photon detector connected to a bomb that can destroy the machine. Therefore if the machine sends the photon back in time then it will result in the machine blowing up before it has a chance to send the photon back in time.
Wait no… They’re different because one is a hypothetical to demonstrate a paradox that would arise in a highly theoretical situation and the other is just idiotic.

See what they don’t know is that this mess was brought about by EVIL psychics in the service of the Illuminati as a precursor to the establishment of the establishment of the New World Order,
They haven’t got a chance.

Ah so these ladies will be opening their investment portfolio’s up so we can examine them and see just how rich they got during the recent financial problems. After all if they knew what was happening and when they should have been able to make a killing on the markets.

Couldn’t have any worse of an outcome then letting the politicians do what they are doing. I say let them try.

Amanda Hart – she was the scam-artist who jumped on the Maddie McCann and Sally-Anne Bowman bandwagons wasn’t she *rolleyes*. She arsed that lot up spectacularly too.
