Fact-check: Did musician Bob Geldof predict the internet's future in 1999? Did he suggest it would help raise the Antichrist? No, satirical video from 2016
Verdict: : the video doesn't show boomtown rats lead singer bob geldof. it's a jokey ripoff, made in 2016, of david bowie's 1999 newsnight interview in which the english musician made good predictions about the internet. but neither video has anything to say about the coming of the antichrist.
