I found the article by Benjamin Fulford - just about the time he really started going crazy and ended up getting fired by Forbes.

How a homeless man from New York became Japan's multimillionaire psychic.
The late Jeane Dixon may have correctly predicted the assassinations of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. But even while alive she couldn't hold a séance candle to Ronald. --not, at least, according to the Japanese celebrities and blue-chip executives who pay richly for the services of the U.S.-born 43-year-old "parapsychological consultant." For $5,000 an hour he tells them what the markets will do and how their careers will end up. Those sessions, plus revenues from seminars and sales of such "psychic" goods as bath oils, come to $1 million-plus a year. So claims Bard.

How did a guy, homeless at age 15, get to be Tokyo's Tiresias? When Bard's father died in 1976, he and his mother were evicted from their four-bedroom Scarsdale, N.Y. house and lived on Manhattan's streets until he joined the Army in 1978. By the time they reunited in 1980, Bard says, his mom, Yolana, had become a wealthy fortune-teller. She had hooked up with "psychic tester" Hans Holzer, a former adjunct professor of parapsychology (which attempts to apply scientific method to investigate claims of the paranormal) at the New York Institute of Technology. (The institute will neither confirm nor deny Holzer's status.) Her clients included designer Diane von Furstenberg and Akio Morita, the late cofounder of Sony. Bard followed her path, starting with a show on Manhattan Cable TV, where he read the fortunes of people who called in. Later, he got tested by Holzer, 82, who makes a living as a writer and TV producer.

A litmus test good enough to attract Asahi TV in 1990. The network offered him and his mother a one-time fee of $100,000 to come to Tokyo, along with the former police chief of Harrison, N.Y., to reenact the murder investigation of two girls, ages 14 and 15, who were found hog-tied and suffocated inside plastic bags. Bard and his mother had led the police to a site 20 miles from where the bodies were discovered. There the police found three drug dealers--one of whom confessed; all three were convicted. That launched Bard's career in Japan, home to half his clients, even though he does not speak Japanese.

Bard says that three-fifths of his clients are in the financial industry. "They come to me to talk about their personal lives," Bard says. "But after eight minutes they're asking me about the markets." No Ouija boards or tea leaves for him. He takes personal items, like photos or business cards, and questions his subjects, probing for reactions. His subsequent "revelations" about a client's past--whether ESP or informed guesses à la Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost --are followed by predictions of the future.

But the demonstrations have turned some folks into lasting clients. Satoru Ohyama, a managing director at Merrill Lynch Japan, claims Bard anticipated the boom in i-mode mobile phones by predicting a "telephone computer" that would be a hot investment. Shoichiro Irimajiri, former president of the game company Sega, insists that Bard foretold his rise to the top and "that I would end up consulting for many companies, which is exactly what happened."

Bard persuaded Richard Li, son of Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing and onetime president of Pacific Century Cyberworks, to invest $750,000 in a cellular fortune-telling service. (Since PCCW's stock price imploded last year, Bard has sought new investors.) Biggest ambition: starting the Channel Channel, a U.S. TV network devoted to the paranormal.

This stuff may not stand up to scientific experiment, but a clever fortune-teller can make people think he can see around corners. During a visit, Bard stared at the left foot of this reporter and stated, correctly, that there was a big scar under the sock. He also predicted the visitor would have problems with his right eye, which became infected two weeks later. Or was it just the power of suggestion?

I predict this dude is going to continue to make a shitload of money out of gullible people, especially Japanese.

[Neo-Rio]

I predict that his mother taught him the fine arts of Cold Reading, rather than the bullshit origin story of his "psychic gift" he put together.

...and the truth will set you free.

[Doctor Stop]

I bet he didn't predict that Wendy's was closing down.

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

I also predict that he is very shortly going to start suffering from a whole series of obesity related diseases.....of course, he already knows that, so I predict he's also thinking about weight loss surgery....

I'm starting to think that maybe there is something to killing witches. Anyone for a BBQ Salem style?

Don't be surprised if we get a few pro-Ron Bard trolls on this thread.

Look what happened for a brief few weeks to this one which apparently included kudos from the likes of pro-wrestler / pro-Pyongyang politician Antonio Inoki:

Bard seems to be very effective at combining the two skills of high-level social networking and establishing social proof so that each celebrity he manages to convince he has supernatural powers then refers him to another celebrity or wealthy individual also willing to shell out $50,000, $100,000 or more.

I recommend avoiding any Kool Aid this guy might hand out....

So that's where John Candy went after he "died". Amazing he hid out in plain sight for that long given the likeness.

RIP.

I found the article by Benjamin Fulford -

A double shot of nostalgia there, eh!? Benjy Fulford and the White Dragons..........coming to a rubber room near you. I predict this is the year Fulford will make a real move for the World Presidency, aided by his sidekick Oddjob and the rebel replicants.
