		<description>Also, I&#039;m curious, do shows like &quot;The View&quot; check out their guests claims before they appear on the show? And how do they get on that show, any way?</description>

		<description>These two performers are widely criticized for a very good reason: they completely fabricate their claims. 

Take a close look at their claims. They take a shot-gun approach to prediction. Listen to the complete audio of their &quot;9-11&quot; prediction and you&#039;ll see quite a contrast with what they claim to have predicted and what they actually said.

Also consider that they used to work in the World Trade Center buildings as performers at a restaurant in the 90s, after the minor terrorist attack on the Trade Center in the early 90s. Everyone who worked in the buildings in the 90s was aware of it, and the expectation of another attack. The government also expected another attack.

Any &quot;psychic&quot; can make 100s of predictions and boast about only those which actually transpire. If they were not fraudulent, they would post every single prediction on their website. 

As it is, they probably spend 90% of their waking hours posting anonymous puff pieces and commentary on multitudes of sites throughout cyberspace, trying to build their &quot;brand.&quot; Go ahead and do a search for them and check it out. Pathetic. They probably hire teenagers in third world countries to make flattering comments about them on blogs and sites.

Someone finally called them out: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2011/06/nightline-beyond-belief.html

Most people would love to see authentic psychics show their talents. But when you have two performers pretending to be psychics, they will be attacked, and justifiably so.

The world doesn&#039;t need any more frauds. 

Someone should look into the claims they made on &quot;The View&quot; recently. 

They said they &quot;Both got the exact same info (on 911) and wrote it down&quot; (as the camera showed handwriting of &quot;Bin Laden.&quot; Now, how come that info wasn&#039;t in the public broadcast of their original prediction, which surprise, surprise, included a bunch of other predictions that didn&#039;t happen? 

They also said that &quot;25 million people heard their prediction about 911 on a radio show&quot; before it happened. 25 million? Which radio show is that? 

They claim to have predicted &quot;the last 12 (thwarted) terrorist attacks.&quot; Anybody have a record of their predictions? It would be interesting to see.

They claim to have worked for the Pentagon and &quot;Project Foresight.&quot; Anyone have any information on that? 

How about the &quot;Cat 4 hurricane&quot; they are predicting for &quot;Florida, Georgia, SC, NC...&quot; this year &quot;A big one, but not as big as Katrina.&quot; If it doesn&#039;t happen, will they post that on their website?

Where can we find all of their past predictions, including those that didn&#039;t come to pass? Anyone?

I&#039;m interested in psychics and will give them a chance to prove themselves, but if it&#039;s a fraud, they deserve what they get.</description>

		<description>I completely agree. I am not impressed by their predictions at all. If they have a gift, they are not using it for good. They talk like everything they have to say has been rehearsed. If I ever had a prediction of a tragedy I would do something about it. They are nothing more than a couple off celebrities looking for more and more money. I will not go so far as to say that I know they are not psychic. What I do know is a gift like that is something that could do a lot of good. It should not be used for personal gain. There are psychics who help police. The twins cannot say that no one will listen to them. I should probably stop rambling. I just do not understand them at all.</description>
