The World in 2008: Your Predictions and Hopes.

[Rogers]

Will the Dems win the Presidential Elections?

Will it be Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush-Clinton?

Will Iraq finally be Mission Accomplished?

What about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Iran and Pakistan?

What about Bin-Laden and the War on Terror?

Will the U.S. and the World enter a recession?

Feel free to raise YOUR PREDICTIONS AND HOPES about anything in domestic and World politics that you think might be important this year.

Oh yeah, best wishes for 2008 (... and beyond :wink: ). :D :D :D

Peering into the crystal ball now. OOOoooooooOOOOOoooohhh it’s becoming clear now.

Obama/Richards will run against Huckabee/McCain. O/R is out ahead, until one week before the election Bin-Laden is captured and H/M take the election. From there it’s all downhill. The Middle East deteriorates, Africa deteriorates (if it’s even possible for Africa to deteriorate more). The War on Terror will continue on the home front as the new republican regime strengthens the patriot act and begins rooting out secularists for detainment. The rich will drain the country and the dollar will go down the tubes.

Oh wait…that the wrong crystal ball!! Whew, that was a close one!!!


have a happy new year, rogers.

I predict all out no holds barred RACE WAR!!! In Pakistan.

Pakistan is divided Pashtun Vs. Everyone else there. Nuclear weapons will be used by the Pashtuns against Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

I predict that Brrack Obama will be elected President after narrowly defeating John McCain. He will then Offer McCain to be Secy. or Defense.

I predict we will Capture or kill Osama bin Laden.

I predict that Russia, Belarus, and part of Ukraine will form a new unuion. Vladimir Putin will then be president of this new unuion with no limit on the number of terms he may have.

I predict that Turkey will give up on the EU and instead look to take a more active role in IRAQ.

I predict a 11th hour settlement that will create on paper at least a viable soverign Palestinian state.

I predict that I will publish four scientific papers and be hailed as the new Einstein (ok that's more of a dream/hope)

I predict that of these predictions not more than 80% and not less than 50% of them will be right.

Religious factions will continue to murder children and ruin the chances for peace and freedom in the Middle East. Somehow I don't think I'll be proven wrong.

Young arabs will realize after exposure to the internet that fucking a bunch of virgins in heaven, just ain't worth it. And will use their inherited oil wealth to hire one experienced escort with a good reputation.

I will list these predictions, or possibilities as roughly stated in the order the guest said them.

Gerald Celente - Large finanical firms are likely to begin collapsing in the year 2008, and with it will come the attendant tens of thousands of layoffs in the workforce. A tax revolt will begin at the local level and proceed right up to the federal government. Foreign governements will continue to buy controlling interest in banks ( currently on going). 2008 will begin to usher in the beginning of the international economic collapse. Celente warns about a sudden "bank holiday" which may ensue after a either a real or contrived CIA/GLOBALIST arranged terrorist attack somewhere in the United States. This will result in massive devaluation of the dollar and the depositors holdings in the banks. Celente says that a 90% devaluation is quite possible with a dollar being reduced in buying power to a present day dime !!!

George Ure- Says a collapse of the dollar is quite possible and massive corporate layoffs beginning possibly as early as February of this year ! The US crisis will trigger a global paper meltdown. ** An unexpected freak major hurricane will occur probably in April somewhere along the eastern seaboard causing massive rainfall, wind damage, and major flooding. Two presidential candidates ( not identified ) will be found to be linked to somekind of "International Conspiracy" that will result in their withdrawal as possible presidential candidates. ( Aren't they all with the possible exception of Paul all linked to it?) Food scarcity and very high prices for food will begin to show as early as February ! There will begin this year large scale civil disobedience against the authorities as people begin massive credit card repudiation ! ( Money will be more needed to purchase gasoline, food etc ) By this summer major cities will be in distress. Stockpiling of food, water etc will be common and is recommended by the commentator. In the fall, power grids will possibly fail and generators will be the order of the day. Ure then predicted that at somepoint in 2009 glaciers falling into the oceans will cause global and coastal flooding !!

Paul Guercio- predicts difficult economic times next year. Says global terrorism will increase greatly. Guercio does not see Hillary winning the nomination or the election if somehow nominated. Edwards likely to be the next president ! Romney and Thompson will be the likely GOP nominees ( most probably Romney )

Glynis McCants- Sees Bush as an "out of control" presidency in his final year capable of doing something either very dangerous or damaging ! Says that on or near the date 8/8/08 something of world wide note will occur ( coincides with the Olympics in China) Could this be Nostradamus "Games of Slaughter" prediction ? ( my commentary)

Sean David Morton- States that Hillary is the choice of the Bilderbergers and is David Rockefellers personal choice to be the next president. Hillary has already had 4 clandestine meetings at the White House the past year and a half ( with Bush and Rockefeller ) and has been shown and told what her role will be during her presidency. It's further reported that Hillary has NOT been totally receptive to her programmed presidency and is balking, wanting to be able to freelance with more individual latitude. This is not endearing her to certain members of the elite. Ron Paul is reported to be in danger as he is making some elites fearful with all his talk about the constitution and moving away from globalist agendas. The elites fear Paul could start a populist movement of significant size that could hinder their plans. Morton says the stock market will begin to deflate greatly starting this year and could go as low as a DJIA of 6,500 ! More likely however will be the 8 to 9K range. !

Ed Dames - ( via e-mail) Says Gold will reach about 2,000 dollars per ounce in 2008. Economic collapse is coming and will be linked to a celestial event most likely an Eclipse of some kind. Dames warned that solar flares could take down major power grids here in the US and around the world !

Mark Lerner- Says Federal Reserve banking system under great duress in the coming year. Advises alternatives in financial investments Gold, silver etc.

Guest? I've not been banned/deleted... yet! :lol: I doubt I'll find it easy to resist another crack at the "Power Behind the Throne" unless I do though. :wink: Anyhoo, thanks for the replies. I think you're right about Bin-Laden being a wild-card this year, trish, but I don't think he'll be caught... more like he'll put in an appearance(s) to spook the U.S. electorate.

The prediction I liked the best was ezed's,

Lust4ts with check into a clinic for consuling and finally breakfree of responding to drivel....
I actually felt sorry for the guy on New Years Day, he seems pretty decent.

My prediction is that Hillary will win in November... money talks too much. I like Obama but his inexperience on foreign affairs goes against him... and his color with far too many unfortunately.

Can this be directly or indirectly attributed to the rising cost of fuel?

Gasoline is up almost 24% in the last year and crude almost 100% in the same time. Most consumers do not live near the food production centers, with the exception being milk, so the transportation costs have cut as far into the producers as they can handle, and is now being past along to the consumer.

BTW, I always love reading about 'Core Inflation rates' , as the Fed excludes the costs of food and fuel from their calculations.

Roast duck is one of my favorite dishes because, if cooked right, it stays nice and moist.
