I have seen plenty of applications of the clock that clearly demonstrated "Future Proves Past" and "News Unlocks." It has happened many times.
I have NEVER seen the clock used to successfully predict future events.
As far as a "thorough breakdown of the history," be careful who you listen to on Twitter. Most of them are mediocre researchers, LARPers, and Paytriots. Fuck all of them.
The best insight always appears right here.
