2. A "crystal ball" fiction writer...
His writing often tries to predict the future, which in most cases doesn't turn out the way he writes....He sells fear and paranoia just as well as he tries to sell hope. The hundreds of names never happened, just like the Iran-US nuclear war that was only months away did not happen either. I stopped reading his garbage a long time ago. For someone who supposedly knows a lot he's rarely on target with his "I have the crystal ball" style of writing. While he is a talented writer of essays I don't look to him for truth anymore because I rarely find it in him. He has a poor track record for actually being right in his "predictions". He's no expert. Just a writer and closer to fiction than truth.
