Just reading over this thread brought up that thought...perhaps he's a sto guy who has been deeply misled by sts sources.
As an authority on DW's work who has literally read everything he has ever put out, this is precisely what DAVID HIMSELF claimed in 1998 when he started channelling stuff that was transient.
David said in his notes, "Wow, my material is really transient. Some of it even gives specific dates! This means my channel is detuned."
And then what did he do? HE KEPT GOING ANYWAY.
This was 1998. Come 1999 and he's predicting major global catastrophe followed by ascension in 2000.
He's been repeating the same process since 1998. Channelling alone, interpreting his dreams, all of which are wrong again and again.
Then he finds some cherry picked science from Dr. Smelyakov and others (without bothering to actually replicate or fact check the science) that is inline with his channelled material and promotes the s*** out of it.
It IS interesting that Dr. Smelyakov did all this crazy stuff. But David has had 10 years now where he could have replicated these simple experiments or pushed for something verifiable. What is his evidence that this isn't scientific fraud like the scientific community has determined? His evidence is his CHANNELLED MATERIAL. When it comes down to it, David backs up all his claims with his dream channelling.
Meanwhile, David himself claims that dreams are NOT global, that dreams do NOT tell you objective facts about the world but rather that they are a subjective window into your feelings and personal life. Then, David goes and uses HIS OWN dreams as evidence of global change--he claims that he is different from everyone else, his dreams are WORLD DREAMS that have global significance and predict events. He says this while telling his readers that THEIR dreams DO NOT predict global events. This is another sign of a detuned channel.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. But when the clock is wrong 90% of the time you know you have a broken clock. The 10% of correct predictions are NOT evidence that the clock is working.
All his information now comes from
a) "Insider sources" who could just as easily be "Illuminati" plants as they could be legit.
b) "Intuitive sources" which, in David's case, are verifiably and self-admittedly detuned. His process has failed again and again. He shouldn't be channelling alone. He shouldn't be channelling transient information. He knows this. We all know this. But he does it anyway because he wants a politically relevant career.
I haven't stopped following David, I've just become extremely disappointed in how bad his material is getting. No truth content to be found. Not even any potential truth content. He's all about Benjamin Fulford now, a guy who is completely bogus and also makes completely wrong predictions all the time.
And by the way, any argument that "Well, you don't know that maybe he is telling the truth but insider stuff has gone down making him be wrong!"
I don't care WHY he's wrong. If he's wrong he's not a useful source of information or enlightenment. There are a million reasons why someone can be wrong, the point is that those people should not be given huge audiences because they are wrong. David's process of finding the truth has been debunked by himself. His whole schtick has become a self-referential joke at this point and if he was honest with himself he would give it up and find a new career. But he's too deep in, he's too popular, he has too much money. He's psychologically stuck--imagine the backlash if he just closed his website and retired? Imagine the backlash when December comes around and nothing historic happens, it's just another day no different than July 16th or January 1st.

I'm not sure how much importance David places on specific information because I haven't kept up with his site recently. More than none, I guess, or he wouldn't even mention mass arrests, etc.
You don't think predicting the collapse of the dollar is doom and gloom?
His information IS doom and gloom. He predicts one catastrophe and collapse after another. The only difference is that he says, after the catastrophe happens and things get worse, things will eventually get better. So he predicts doom and gloom but says things will be better after a period of tribulation. Sound like Christianity? It's functionally and psychologically identical.
Even his December 21st prediction is doom and gloom because he predicts that (a) the majority of humans are not going to heaven and (b) everyone will die before they ascend.
This amounts to doom and gloom regardless of the caveats tacked on at the end.
Also you bring up a good point about the specificity. He DOES place great importance on specific information. Less so 5 years ago, but very much so now. All his updates revolve around tiny specific details about "insider politics" which, even if it was 100% true (and it's verifiably false), is so incredibly transient.
