Friday Bullets: Failed predictions, but still as good as gold?

• Most of my friends and family are politically more right of centre, than left of centre, in my humble opinion. 

• No one, I know of, is an outright communist, on the left, or an outright fascist, on the right.

• Some of these friends and family read and listen to conservative, alternative, new sources.

• I am not intellectually opposed to considering a proposition (conclusion), and arguments (premise (s) and conclusion) that are unproven. That are not mainstream. 

• The truth is the truth and at times, what is true, requires prayerful, rational, consideration within my worldview.

• I acknowledge that there are reasonably, government (s) secrets withheld from public knowledge.

• When a particular source of conspiracy theories makes predictions and most of them do not come true, and the source of these conspiracy theories adjusts the theories, often without repentance, that is a red flag. 

• None of us ultimately, completely, know a human mind and heart other than God, but if a source  keeps changing predictions when previous ones are proven wrong; consider that there are possible financial reasons for the source to promote conspiracy theories.

• Not just ideological reasons, but also financial reasons. 

• Especially when this 'reshuffling' continues on for years.

• I recently watched an online presentation  which revised  recent failed predictions, that were not really acknowledged as such. But the source still claimed to be usually correct. The source also promoted a book by that source and provided a visible set link to buy gold on the website.

• Not just ideological reasons, but also financial reasons. This can be true in both political and prophetic religious contexts, as examples.
