SFW weird corners of the internet. See something amusingly specific? Could belong here. Remember the odd pages you'd come across on StumbleUpon? We can live those days again....

Filed under Humor/Memes but it doesn't have to be funny.

note from kixiQu: I post a good amount of things from href.cool and marijn's linkroll into this sub because I think they have a lot of fabulous examples. if anyone gets tired of it, DM me.

I know this community is barely active from how I see it, but this is an account that has always creeped me out, and the fact that I haven't seen any big-name YouTubers covering it doesn't make it any better. I tried raising awareness about it elsewhere, but was almost always met with "nah, this channel is bullshit". I'm not a huge believer in premonitions, but there is just something about the channel that goes far beyond just coincidences.

The channel's name is Anti-Deception, and has been on YouTube since around 2011. The account is ran by a Christian from India who writes otherwise vague incidents that are about to happen in a certain country, for example murders, natural disasters, protests, etc. And when the certain "event" happens, the person will upload a video stating that a prophecy has been fulfilled. At one point, they uploaded a video demonstrating how a prophecy gets fullfilled from behind the scenes. It might not look like much, until you come across a Tumblr page ran by them that has a list of every single propecy they have written.

You answered it yourself. "Vague incidents"

Anyone can write a vague description of an incident and then in hindsight cherry pick any incident that matches it and claim fulfillment.

Are you seriously credulous enough to think that something like "There is earthquake and casualty in United States." (from this post) counts as a prophecy?

This dude is just listing a bunch of highly likely scenarios and then when anything even remotely like what they said happens they say "PrOpHeCy fUlFiLlEd".

Here, I'm a prophet too!

  • Israel defends its actions at the UN
  • volcano in Iceland
  • industrial fire in Russia
  • China has a territorial dispute
  • credulous moron finds a prophet

Ok that's fucking weird. That little trumpet sound at the beginning is creepy for some reason. What a strange find, thanks for sharing!
