Keep them secret so they cannot influence future history and place them in a capsule for each year under the care of an impartial third party. Allow several other methods to also participate based on tarot cards, astrology, soothsaying and whatever. Also include predictions based on the flip of a coin or die. Make sure to only allow predictions of events that could not be influenced by the predictors. After all the years are up, open up the canisters and compare the predictions to what happened. If they didn't do much better than any of the other methods then one can conclude that each method is no better than random chance. This is how the novelty advocates can keep themselves honest. They need to make sure that they conduct the experiment in a way that is as honest as possible otherwise people will not and should not pay much attention to anything they say.

Well, if you had looked over all the information you would have found that he predicted good things during the Clinton years and things were pretty good during his run at the white house. And the prediction about year 2012 is not well known about enough to influence the future.
The thing is that webpage was created before Clinton and Bush # 2.
And remember these are not predictions based on faith alone, but on the technology involved to set up the models.
