11?


Uri Geller is using his psychic powers to make an amazing prediction.

To all my dear friends,
Whether you like him or dislike him I have got news for you!
Donald Trump will become the 45th president of United States of America!

What is the basis for this prediction?

11 is a very powerful mystical number.
Barack Obama : 11 letters
George W. Bush: 11 letters
Bill Clinton: 11 letters
Jimmy Carter: 11 letters
John Kennedy: 11 letters
Donald Trump…. 11 letters!!

Barack Hussein Obama: 18 letters
George Walker Bush: 17 letters
William Jefferson Clinton: 23 letters
James Earl Carter: 15 letters
John Fitzgerald Kennedy: 21 letters
Donald John Trump: 15 letters

I think he was rigging the numbers to fit.

If you’re not convinced on the importance of 11, please see this page on my website: http://www.urigeller.com/are-your-eyes-attracted-to-11-11/
More significant people with eleven letters in their name:

Sorry, I didn’t bother.

Jesus Christ
Antony Blair
Nostradamus
Pope Francis
Colin Powell

“Jesus Christ” wasn’t his name. “Christ” was a title.

He had to leave a letter out of Tony Blair’s first name to make it fit! Besides, it’s Anthony Charles Lynton Blair.

That’s the latinized version. His name was Michel de Nostredame.

His first name is not “Pope”.

Again, Colin Luther Powell. He seems to have some funny rules for what names he’ll use.

There are so many other historically significant people, places and events that also include 11, or 11.11, read the article, it will blow your mind!
Please let me know your thoughts, and if you are unhappy – or happy at the thought of Donald Trump becoming President, please let me know why, it interests me to hear your perspective.
By the way, do you know of any other people or important events or places that are not on my page about 11.11, please comment to let me know.
Don’t forget to share!

I’ve shared. You’re an idiot, Uri.

    “Jimmy Carter” has 11 letters.
    “Ronald Reagan” has 12 letters.
    Reagan beat Carter.

    You know who else had has 12 letters besides Ronald Reagan? Adolph HItler.

    Besides, why should I trust the predictions of a man with 9 letters in his name?

  2. Holms says

    Barack Hussein Obama: 18 letters
    George Walker Bush: 17 letters
    William Jefferson Clinton: 23 letters
    James Earl Carter: 15 letters
    John Fitzgerald Kennedy: 21 letters
    Donald John Trump: 15 letters

    I think he was rigging the numbers to fit.

    Not to mention skipping a shitload of presidents.

  3. magistramarla says

    Does this explain why wingnuts think that they have to punctuate what they type with !!!!!11!!!!11!! ?

  4. whheydt says

    EVery programmer knows he’s full of it…he’s not counting the blanks. The”names” he thinks are 11 characters long are really 12 characters.

  5. tororosoba says

    I also have 11 letters (not counting middle names and blanks). Not tororosoba, but my birthname. Does that make me important?

  6. slithey tove (twas brillig (stevem)) says

    Antony Blair
    I think that is a phonetic spelling of how the British pronounce Anthony.
    but then again, it’s all BS anyway, so no point in trying to rationalize his list.
    As others have noted, many of the names include middle initials while some don;t, and some use minor-forms of their adult name (eg Bill instead of William, Jimmy instead of James, etc).
    I’m just noting the misspelling of Blair’s first name may be related to how he pronounces it.

  7. robro says

    “Jesus” wasn’t the name either, assuming there was a “he” at all…and that seems highly doubtful.

    And what about spaces? Don’t they count? They’re sort of the non-letter letter. Barrack Obama = 12 if you include the space.

    Uri Geller = 9 if you’re not counting spaces, 10 if you are. I guess he’s not very powerful mystical.

    Actually, 9 is also “a very powerful mystical number” in numerology, as is 1, 2, 3, 4…and so forth. From my brief brush with that rubbish, all numbers are powerful and mystical which is, of course, why they can always concoct significance out of them.

  8. DLC says

    Yeshua ben Joseph 17 if you count spaces.
    George Herbert Walker Bush 25, counting spaces.
    Hiram Ulysses Grant 19 . . .
    Sorry Uri, but you’re way off.

  9. Vivec says

    Uri Geller is still alive? I guess I’d just purged his existence from my memory, beyond him getting destroyed by Randi way back when.

  10. Azkyroth, B*Cos[F(u)]==Y says

    Whoa whoa whoa. And how many letters are there in “Uri Geller?”

    Nine.

    And he’s making a big deal about elevens.

    We’re through the looking glass here, people…

    I think that is a phonetic spelling of how the British pronounce Anthony.

    Isn’t spelling something the way it’s pronounced basically an act of war as far as Britain is concerned?

  11. Jake Harban says

    Jaque Harban has 11 letters. Looks like I’m gonna be the next president!

    @16 Marcus Ranum:

    Does this mean we have reached “peak spoon”?

    I hope not. I don’t have enough spoons to function as it is. :(

    @22 wzrd1:

    @Marcus Ranum #16, there is no spoon.

    So you took my last spoon? Give it back!

  12. Dauphni says

    @danielhenschel #21

    Methinks Paul Z Myers (10) is just jealous!

    That must be why people keep calling him “Meyers”

  13. Beatrice, an amateur cynic looking for a happy thought says

    Hm, maybe I should try my hand at politics. I don’t even have a middle name to mess up the lucky number.

  14. some bastard on the internet says

    Vivec @19

    Uri Geller is still alive? I guess I’d just purged his existence from my memory, beyond him getting destroyed by Randi way back when.

    Randi’s name actually came up in the comments on Geller’s Facebook post:

    What about the mystical powers of the number 10?

    James Randi: 10 letters

    Uri’s response:

    I owe him lots of bouques of flowers he launched my career and kept it up for decades, I miss his free publicity, -perhaps you can enlighten me why he stopped?

    Christ, what an asshole.

  15. Guy in a Tank says

    Hmm, let’s see about some presidential candidates who did not become president:
    Albert A. Gore
    W. Mitt Romney
    Mike Dukakis
    Gerald R. Ford
    Thomas Dewey
    Eugene V. Debs
    Alton Parker
    James Blaine
    James Weaver
    John Fremont
    William Wirt

    Nope, some serious confirmation bias going on here. Strange suggestion I know, but might it be that many US names have approximately 11 letters? [/sarcasm]

  16. Vivec says

    @26
    Uri’s comment is particularly ironic, given that his repeated lawsuits against Randi always ended with him having to pay Randi’s legal fees.

    I wonder how many flowers like fifty grand or so in legal fees counts as.

  17. latsot says

    The last time I heard about Geller, he had renounced his psychic powers and admitted that it had all been a “joke”. That didn’t last long.

  18. blf says

    EVery programmer knows he’s full of it

    I would like to think so, with or without the qualifier “programmer”.

    he’s not counting the blanks. The”names” he thinks are 11 characters long are really 12 characters.

    Eh? The eejit specifically says he is counting “letters”. Blank / space is not a letter, except to bad programmers who confuse glyphs with characters, or think all such are letters.

    Also, some of the names have more than one blank, so not all of them are 12 characters. And in at least one case, there is also a period (full stop), which no-one(?) has counted: “George W. Bush” has 14 rendered glyphs, and as I typed it (my input) actually has 19 characters (one of the two rendered spaces was entered as  ).

  19. blf says

    Yeah, The eejit is not only still alive, he’s also up to his usual scams. Perhaps my favourite (from the short list at Ye Pffft! of All Knowledge):

    On 11 February 2009, Geller purchased the uninhabited 100-meter-by-50-meter Lamb Island off the eastern coast of Scotland, previously known for its witch trials, and beaches that Robert Louis Stevenson is said to have described in his novel Treasure Island. Geller claims that buried on the island is Egyptian treasure, brought there by Scota, the half-sister of Tutankhamen 3,500 years ago and that he will find the treasure through dowsing. Geller also claimed to have strengthened the mystical powers of the island by burying there a crystal orb once belonging to Albert Einstein.

    I assume that’s where the missing spoons are buried.

  20. fernando says

    I think Uri Geller is on something.
    The final proof it is quite clear:

    PZ Myers – 7 letters
    Cthulhu – 7 letters

    You see: Both are Great (the ignorants can call them “chubby”) Old (i prefer “with a lot of experience”) Ones.

  21. blf says

    My handle (“blf”) has 11 letters.
    If you count in binary.

    And it’s possible to write my name such that, counting in decimal, it has 11 letters.

    Does that make me President-for-Life?

  22. Athywren - not the moon you're looking for says

    How many letters in George H. W. Bush? Or Thomas Jefferson? Or Dwight David Eisenhower? Or Champion The Wonder Horse? I question the relevance of 11.
    Besides, you know who else has 11 letters in their name? That’s right. Hils Clinton!

  23. birgerjohansson says

    An extinct branch of Islam that included the assassin sect believed in eleven imams, setting them apart from the Sunni and Shia. Yeah, they are gone. So much for “eleven”.

  24. birgerjohansson says

    In Stephen King’s book suite about …I dunno, a gunslinger and monsters….the number nineteen played big role. Maybe little Uri should try that instead, considering King has written far more books than him.

  25. marko says

    His first name is not “Pope”

    And his surname is not Francis.
    Although, J M Bergoglio? By Jove, he’s onto something!

  26. Menyambal says

    I’m not seeing psychic power anywhere in this 11 business. He may think 11 is mystic, but that list of names could be compiled by the most rigid of skeptics, if asked to fudge around some dishonest numerology. Has Uri given up on the powers, or do his fans not even notice that he didn’t bend anything but names there?

  27. leerudolph says

    Saad@40: “Broken clock.”

    You’ve pushed my pedant button (well, one of my many pedant buttons). The idiom is “Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.” Being “stopped” is only one of many ways a clock can be broken. A clock that is fast or slow will be (for appropriate, broadly realistic, values of “fast” and “slow”) right a number of times a day different than 2; a clock that has been (literally) “defaced” will never be right (in the sense that it will never show the correct time, because it will never show any time); and so on. Moreover, even the idiom as I quoted it does not take account of Daylight Savings Time (supposing that to be in effect in the jurisdiction containing the stopped clock)—for an appropriately stopped clock, on one day of the year the clock will display the correct time only once, and on another day, thrice.

    …What’s that? You say my pedant button is actually a snooze alarm? Sorry!

  28. Bruce says

    There is only one response to the Drumpf supporters who want numerology to be a thing:
    Ronald Wilson Reagan = 6 6 6.
    Republicans clearly follow the mark of the Beast.
    Or at least the feces of the bull.

    11/2/09, hmmm 2+9 = 11, QED 11 magic number!!11!!11!1!!!11!!

  30. blf says

    I said elven! Anything elven is powerful and mystical.

    And terrible. Just ask Granny Weatherwax, Nancy Ogg, and the other witches and wizards and librarians…

    Spoons, however, might just possibly work on the elfs, being metal.

  31. Scott Simmons says

    Sour grapes much, mister Paul Z. “only ten, dammit” Myers? Shame about whatever ancestor it was that decided not to go with the more common “Meyers” spelling, isn’t it? If not for him, you could have achieved greatness. Maybe you could have been President, or the Pope, or even a famous fake psychic con-artist.

  32. blf says

    leerudolph@44, A trivial bit of pedantry returned: “Daylight Savings Time”. What is that? There is “Daylight Saving Time” in the USA, and “Summer Time” in other parts of the world, and perhaps other names for the concept or its implementation, but not, as far as I know, “Daylight Savings Time”.

    Admittedly, as Ye Pfffft! of All Knowledge observes, the use of the “Savings” form is common in USAian-English.

    And a stopped 24-hour clock is correct, at most, once a day (assuming its location is kept constant).

    And… ah, forget it, this is silly…

  33. Azkyroth, B*Cos[F(u)]==Y says

    Geller won’t get his mojo back until he changes his name to Uriah.

    Eep!
    </blockquote.

    I think "UriNE" would be more fitting.

  34. Sili says

    It’s nice to hear Geller call Carter a powerful president. I’m sure the Republans will agree with him.

  35. wzrd1 says

    The simple reality of it is, do I cease and desis. As one who actually enjoys tripe on occasion, that’s worrisome in the extreme.

    So, I enjoy tripe, I loathe tripe being force fed to a populace..
    And to be blunt, that’s over cooked tripe.
