The National Enquirer does it, why can’t I? Anyone can make silly predictions that the temperatures will rise, or dogs and cats will live together, or that Jennifer and Angelina not only will kiss and make up, but Angelina will ditch Brad for Jen.
Here we go, my crazy predictions for 2010:
1) The stock market will fall hard, the DOW will drop below 5000, hell let’s go for broke, it will fall to 2000 or below. People will be told that now is the time to invest because prices can’t go any lower. Buy Buy Buy! Well, Sell sell sell right now. The media will blame the stock market crash on people’s unreasoning fear and not on the fact that prices are still historically way over where they should be. At some point people will realize that the stock market was rigged from the start. Many bankers will try to flee the country, but then realize there is nowhere to go (that’s globalization and a one world government for you). Jumping out of windows will become fashionable again.
2) There will be a push in the remaining 37 states to legalize marijuana, for medical use, or legalize it completely in all 50 states because it is such a source of revenue for the 13 states that have passed it (hmm 13 states with marijuana, 13 colonies for the revolution. I see patterns where there are none). And the green grass grows all around all around. This is going to cause a problem with the criminal justice system. All those stoners are going to commit less crime than those that are alcoholics, which is going the cause cuts in the whole oppressive prison infrastructure. To make up for there will be more arrests for important things like pulling the tags off of pillows.
3) The revenue stream for all the states will drop 20-40% this year, causing all those bloated bureaucracies that have supposedly been cut to the bone, to be cut to the marrow. Attempts at tax raises will not draw in any revenue. There will be a huge push to change the pensions of the states, the solution will be to extract more out of current government workers to pay for the retired ones. More boomers are going to cry about how they were “promised” a good life on their retirement, despite the fact that generation is responsible for sucking this country dry like parasites. Poor Locusts. Expect more generational conflict.
4) Israel is going to “liberate” Iran. By liberation I mean destroy, by Iran I mean the primitive tribes that will eke out a living in the rubble that remains. Gas will initially spike up to $10.00 a gallon and everyone will be riding bicycles like a third world country. Greenies will be happy about this development until their more carnivorous friends, unable to get Beef, pork or chicken, will turn to the other white meat. Morlocs rule!. Soylent Green is People!
5) The Euro will collapse this year and as a result the European Union will implode. Leading to anarchy and civil war. The United States will be indecisive in determining which group to support in the civil war since the choices will be Neo-Nazis, Communists, or Islamic Jihadists. Ultimately the United States will support the jihadists and the countries will all become part of a giant (nuclear) Islamic state. There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth by the liberals as the Louvre is burned to the ground, but in the end they will believe this is a good thing because it ends a significant segment of the white oppressive system in the world.
6) Roissy will be recognized as the false prophet for the Anti-Christ which it will turn out is actually Michelle Obama, not Barack. (I see no reason why the anti-Christ has to be a man). This revelation will actually give Barack a boost with the SWPL crowd because he married a “strong woman.” Despite this, his strongly disapproval numbers will exceed 60%. An attempt at a “Reichstag fire” by the democrats will actually fail because the strongly disapprove people will see this as vindication that he’s a bad president and hate him more, not less. No 9/11 is going to save them in DC.
7) Riots in major cities will flare up in the United States and Martial Law will be declared in at least one major metropolitan area. People will see this as a good thing and welcome their oppressive government masters with open arms, thrown bricks and anything else they can get a hold of. John Connor will lead the rebellion against the machine . . .
8) The State governments of California and New York will declare bankruptcy because they are unable to stop the bread and circuses. They will sell off major portions of their territory and people to the Chinese to get out of hock.
9) China will liberate Taiwan. The United States will punish this by giving China most favored of all favored nation status (and a chunk of the pacific northwest) and offer Japan as well.
10) The democrats will lose in the fall elections, but the republicans will lose more. Both parties will be doing everything they can to destroy the third party insurgency that will be occurring, trying to convince the people that the elite in power from both parties know better than the common folk despite the fact that the American people have been completely sold out by both parties.
