"The man's mad - my opinion. Not harmless though - he sells his peculiar ideas for lots of money, so a snake oil salesman too imo." Gunit
Do you know what - seldom have I seen a more accurate or apt description of Amaral than that one.👌
Oh, I don't think he stands a chance of reaching Dame's level. Here's some more fascinating facts about him;
Ed predicted that "a series of powerful, deadly solar flares" he termed "the killshot" would impact the Earth and wipe out civilization between 2011 and 2013.
When that didn't happen — not wanting to tarnish his self-proclaimed track record of being "amazingly accurate regarding globally recognized disasters and events" — he simply pushed the timeline for the killshot event ahead to the near future and retconned his prediction accordingly.
The catastrophe won't be caused by solar flares after all. Instead, it will be the result of a close encounter with Planet X, which is supposedly on a collision course with Earth.
All the more fertile soil upon which to peddle crank DVDs promising to reveal the mysterious "alien agenda" behind this impending disaster, while also advising the suckers consumers about the location of various "safe places" in the world which they can relocate to in order to avoid extermination.
