Cindyd: I am heading out to a 6:00 AM meeting soon but wanted to give you a quick introduction on Clif.
For the most part he appears to be a self educated man. He was an army brat that was drug all over the US., Hawaii and Europe.
His father was a Sargeant that was made an officer and sent to war college. Clif had no friends and so read passionately.
He also read his father's war college textbooks.
He became an early programmer. He eventually wrote a program that mined the Internet for descriptive language (key words) increasing in intensity. He called it "Linguistics". He then collected and studied the data to reveal upcoming future patterns/events and published it in a monthly "Alto Report".
I believe he sold the program to the military Intelligence, or the "SOC" (Self Organizing Collective dedicated to taking down the CABAL).
His theory is that most people are psychic to a degree, and unknown to them, they have premonitions of future events.
It is these that they chat about using the language of tomorrow today, such as "school mass shooting". If he sees that term increasing and then a strong upbeat in May, then his program predicts a school mass shooting building over a half year and then occurring in May.
He stopped publishing his Alto report about three years ago. I assume that is when he sold the program. However, he still uses the program for himself.
