Uncanny Prescience

Against all odds, a politician actually nails the truth...in advance

The following video is so remarkably accurate a prediction of what turned out to be exactly what happened that I immediately suspected it was some sort of A.I. fakery.

It is no such thing.

The three-and-a-half-minute speech was delivered in the U.S. Senate in 2015, when H.J. Res. 61, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Resolution of Disapproval — aka Mr. Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran — was under debate in Congress.

Senator Rubio stated in detail exactly what Iran was going to do with the billions of dollars that the Obama deal provided to the Iranian theocracy. See for yourself:

For the record, I’m not just apolitical; I’m anti-political. I have no partisan stake in the interminable squabbling between Repugnicans and Demoncrats. I’m a realist. I reject the entire premise that the political state can provide the service of government, but that’s a subject for another post.

Anyhow, Mr. Rubio’s warning went unheeded. Obama’s deal subsequently went through, resulting in billion$ being released to Iran, which funds were subsequently used to develop the nuclear enrichment that the Agreement was supposed to prevent. He even predicted the development of conventional delivery systems (long-range missiles) that would make it too costly to take pre-emptive action once Iran had achieved their objective.

I’m not arguing for or against the current military action against Iran, although I do understand that it was inevitable. In 1987, Mr. Trump took out full-page ads in major U.S. newspapers saying exactly what he would do to eliminate the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, and he had been saying it for the previous eight years, ever since the Iranian Death to America cabal took over in 1979. Love him, hate him, agree, or disagree with his policies as you like. But it is undeniable that, for nearly the last half-century, he has been remarkably consistent in his opposition to Iran having nuclear weapons.

The point of this post is to show that Mr. Rubio knew—not suspected; he knew—what Iran was going to do if the Obama deal went forward, and he was remarkably straightforward and specific in his prediction. No hedging, no weasel-wording, no qualifications or stipulations. He said he wanted it on the historical record. History has shown that he had uncanny prescience.

As far as I can recall, the last time a politician predicted the course of history with such unerring accuracy was in the 1930s, when Mr. Churchill tried to warn his nation about what Mr. Hitler was going to do. Almost no one paid attention to him either, and it almost extinguished Great Britain.

I’m quite certain that all the people who hate Mr. Trump peg Mr. Rubio as “guilty by association”. But I don’t. He has his own mind now, as he did then, and he was sufficiently informed about Iran’s intent to foretell exactly what was going to happen.

And it did.

That’s exceedingly rare in the cesspool of lies and stupidity for which politics has a well-deserved reputation.
