    Youtube political psychics who are fun to watch and have accurate predictions:


    Maighstir Tarot -

    Australian, assertive, intuitive, has several spirit guides she acknowledges by name. She talks about First Nations tribe and tradition in her country, which I appreciate. She reads with many different tarot decks:

    Linda G the Comanche Psychic -

    Great readings, funny, sharp wit, predictions come to pass. Her Youtube newsfeed has been a source for breaking news for me - she's on it! She discusses First Nations and indigenous peoples tribe and tradition, which I appreciate.

    Artillery is discussed in this episode. Disclaimer - violence is not okay, do not use artillery to harm others.

    ---

    100, 200 yards. Analyzing things from the shooter's perspective. While hard to discuss, I break down mechanically what basic tools it takes to line a long distance target. How my Buddhism changed my actions with artillery. Last, the premonition on the former guy's recent event, with detail this time. It upset me to share, 2 years ago so I didn’t. And now that it’s happened, I’ll describe the premonition, and how much it matched the event.
