Remember that politics move quickly, and people and their opinions evolve.

Some of his year 2010 predictions were portrayed as true, but like all scammers who claim to predict the future, his language is so broad you might as well assign any event to his predictions. For example:

One of the UAE 2010 predictions that will be hailed as coming true is how a “major terrorist scheme will be revealed in one of the emirates”, believed to be referring to the assassination of Mahmoud al Mabhouh, a senior Hamas commander, in a Dubai hotel, apparently by Israel’s Mossad.

So a precision operation by an intelligence apparatus to assassinate a political leader is now a “major terrorist scheme?”. Perhaps I’m just biased because I think it’s stupid to believe in such things.
