Koko sent me a typewritten manuscript (!) of the third chapter of her new book. Once again her satirical/contrarian views ruffled feathers and just before the book was released, the publisher yanked the third chapter, deeming it too controversial for newsstand and online outlets such as Amazon.com. Despite appearances, Koko has no intention of scaring people; she only predicts the obvious: White and yellow peoples refuse to reproduce and disappear into the dustbin of Evolution, Colored people retreat into the jungle, the New Brahmins (who look suspiciously like her) crowd Wall Street and the White House speculating in a currency called B-NN (the "Banana"). She recommends buying and holding Chiquita Brands International (formerly United Fruit Co.) shares. By an unexplained exception, a permanent cloud will be parked over Meah Shearim and Williamsburg and mannah shall rain on them except Saturdays when it will be gefilte fish and Konditor "wine" for the kiddush.

The real story here is that the offensive bits were ghost-written by Orsine.
Anon.
Koko was interviewed by a Der Spiegel journalist and asked if the future she sees is unevitable.
She answered yes, it will come to be. In our quantum world, the mere fact of opening the Schrodiger box causes reality to collapse and so, the mere fact of Koko's seeing the future cause it be true.
Of course, other futures are still potentially available, but someone has to observe them.
