That's preposterous. If you don't believe it yourself, then what is the purpose of pointing the finger?
Who says they should be allowed to predict such things?
Where is the precedent for the success of such predictions? My point is, why should anyone believe? There's no precedent for believing in such claims, unless you happen to know of a precedent that I don't know about.

The earthquake was unexpected and a terrible surprise. Haiti? I can't think of anyone seeing this coming.

I’ve asked questions pertaining to this but you’ve overlooked them. Here they are again: All these people are claiming to help mankind and none of them were able to predict this catastrophe? So what are the prerequisites of seeing a tragedy like this? So what are these “forces” you speak of and where is this Great Beyond?

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.

if it did not happen on his watch, is he er----limited? is he less than almighty?
are somethings out of his control?
I am an Indigo
and I failed to see it coming because it was never shown to me.
Is it my fault? Maybe is was performed by HAARP?
If it was shown to me what voice do I have to get the government to even think of doing something?
If the governments of the world were considerate of their fellow human beings they would get together and begin building dome homes which are the safest homes you could ever build and can last a century.
They can hold up against fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, Earthquakes, and are very cost efficient.
The world could be different, but the every day to day human being has no real power. The Elite that control the world have control over alot of resources and there is little every day people can do.
First of all, I'm answering your rather transparent questions, knowing full well that your only objective is to make the point that psychics and paranormalists are goons are charlatans and fakes.
That's your whole premise.
Why play games and post nonsensical topics specifically titled "Why did all the Aliens, Indigo Children, Time Travelers, Mystics, Enlightened, Psychics, etc FAIL to predict the earthquake in Haiti?" when you already know the answer?
You're not asking a question for information's sake, you're trolling for an argument. Let's be honest.
Secondly, I'd like to know who "all these people" are who are claiming to "help Mankind"... No, not "see above"... I want some actual names of people who are claiming to help Mankind by posting predictions. I want to go look at their track records of success/failure. Because, obviously, you're not — you're just kind of lashing out at groups of people in general.
Thirdly, I have no idea what are the "prerequisites" of foreseeing an event or a tragedy. If I knew that, I'd be banging on James Randi's door, demanding my million dollar reward.
As I understand the "psychic" literature, the great majority of "visions" and "predictions" are spontaneous and unsolicited — such clairvoyance simply comes to the seer rather unexpectedly.
The only "clairvoyants" who "claim" to target specific future events are those guys who call themselves remote viewers — a class of psychic that was actually employed by the U.S. Department of Defense some years ago. Why the RVs aren't talking about Haiti is anyone's guess.
Lastly, you ask about the Great Beyond, and I can't help but shake my head. Are you serious? You don't know anything about the Great Beyond? You haven't read anything about the Afterlife or other dimensions or the Akashic Record or whatever anyone wants to call it?
Look, before you try to disprove something, you need to acquaint yourself with the topic. Know Your Enemy is a bit of advice that skeptics really need to heed. Anyone can sit back and be an empty-headed skeptic, takes no effort at all.
So, you go read up on the AfterLife and the Astral Plane and all that stuff — should take you a few years to go through all the literature — and then come back with your skeptical but INFORMED opinions.
That's what I did.
I was a hard-ass, God-hating, atheist, science-only skeptic for many years, until I finally realized that I was totally ignorant of metaphysical subjects, and so I started reading, and I read whole libraries on the paranormal and UFOs and ghosts and psychic phenomena and so forth. I read the Bible, too, cover to cover, then read it again to make sure I understood it.
Did all of that turn me into a "believer"...? No, it didn't, but it turned me into an informed skeptic.
Perhaps if you dug into the literature, you would find the very predictions you're seeking. Did you do that?
