We've all had hunches, feelings, premonitions, intuition, dreams and visions that certain things would happen and they did. Personally, I could think of hundreds of different present or future events I had a feeling or a dream about and they happened, from small and mundane things to much larger events, including some with global implications. Certainly that would rule out just being able to mentally put together a series of events in a logical sequence in your all-powerful brain that could fortell the future, logically and scientifically. After all the number of stunningly accurate predictions, feelings, hunches that we've all had transcends the ability of the most powerful mainframe in the world, the human brain, in being able to just logically sequence future events together. Especially when they are unrelated and totally unexpected to the individual's mindset.

He even spoke of Hitler, referring to him as "Hister". Additionally, he made references to "Napoleon" in name and connecting verse, using an anagram for the name.
