Why couldn't he come out and say "Germany is going to have a dictator named Adolf Hitler whose birthday is April 20 who will murder 6 million Jews under a totalitarian anti-Semitic regime"? I have a hard time believing someone with reliable predictive powers would use such cryptic metaphorical language and bad French poetry (come on admit it, the guy's no Baudelaire).

It's as ridiculous as when John Edwards comes out and says he's getting a name from the dead that starts with the letter J. If the dead were really talking to him, they'd say "My name is James Smith and I'm Paul's dead father!", not "My name is J-- oh shit, I forgot".
