Here it is real people have died, real people are suffering, children are now orphans, families are torn apart, disease may spread, etc, yet NONE of you people with “special” talents (take the word special however you want) were able to lift a finger before this tragedy. You would figure something of this magnitude, which has caused this much damage (death, collapse of infrastructure, etc) would have been at the TOP of your list but it wasn’t. My question is WHY?

Maybe it was supposed to happen, maybe all those people were supposed to die.
Just because you feel it's such a terrible tragedy doesn't mean it is.
Perhaps it was a necessary twist of Fate.
It certainly wasn't an act of God, as some people like to call natural disasters.
The deal is, psychics and all those paranormal types only see what they are allowed to see by whatever forces there are in the Great Beyond.
If they were supposed see the Haitian catastrophe, they would have seen it.
Even if they had seen it and sounded the alarm a year ago, do you seriously think the island would have evacuated?
Just because some "psychic" said a great tragedy was coming?
Hell no, they wouldn't evacuate the island. That's nonsense. So, the same tragedy would occur with the same loss of life. Doesn't matter if it was foretold or not.
As for the 1960 election Mrs. Dixon thinks it will be dominated by labor and won by a Democrat. But he will be assassinated or die in office 'though not necessarily in his first term.'
John F. Kennedy would fail to win the presidency.

In 1956 Dixon "predicted":

But wait, there's more. In 1960 she "predicted":

Shouldn't the later prediction superceed the older one? With all "psychics" the trick seems to be in using the shotgun technique. Make a whole lot of vague predictions and your chances of getting something sorta, kinda right at some point improve. Just don't be too specific. That can get you into trouble.

The general consensus amongst the world is it is a terrible tragedy.

none of them are “allowed” to see a quake that has a death tally that is still unknown?
