Future Predictions: What’s in Store for the Rest of 2011 and Beyond?

Many questions as we face the future and future predictions based on past trends.

People in the U.S. are filled with a combination of feeble hopes and great fears as 2011unfolds. Most are asking pained questions about the future of our country and of theworld. Where are we headed economically and financially? Will we be able to weatherour bad economy and eventually recover? Will things ever straighten out in Washingtonand on Wall Street? Will the present administration ever do anything to reign in thecorruption in the banking industry?

Will we ever get out of all these needless wars and stop creating new ones? Why arenatural disasters seemingly on the increase, and will that trend continue? Will 2012 bethe end of the world as the Mayan calendar seems to indicate? Can we do anything toaffect any change in the outcome of any of these issues? I certainly won’t try to answerany of these questions in depth, and for some of them there is not an answer, but maybeby sharing a little insight into what I see transpiring, it might be helpful to some of you asthese days unfold.

Future prediction: Present conditions not conducive to the masses waking up

One certainly doesn’t need to be a prophet to see that we are not heading in the rightdirection in any area. When Obama promised “change,” we did not envision the negativekind we have been experiencing. And when he talked about “re-distribution of wealth,”one certainly did not envision the elimination of the middle class in that re-distributionprocess. We basically have a two class society now, the very rich and the very poor. Weare already in a third world status in the US. The only things preventing the Americanpublic from rioting in the streets are unemployment checks and food stamps. As long aspeople have something to eat and a roof over there heads they will not riot.

Presently, there are nearly 45 million Americans on food stamps, and the number isgrowing exponentially every year. Another reason Americans aren’t ready to riot is themedia. It sounds bad, and I am not trying to be demeaning, but the mooing masses in thiscountry are still totally sedated, brainwashed, and dumbed-down by the media. As longas they have their can of beer, a bag of popcorn, an NFL game, American Idol, or theirfavorite soap or sit-com on the tube in front of them, they won’t get off their couches todo anything expect make another trip to the refrigerator.

Future prediction: My contact man in the global elite

Several months ago I have another conversation with my contact in the global elite,the man who lives on the West Coast. When I asked him why all the things that he waspredicting to happen in 2010 didn’t happen, like banking holiday, the 50% money grabacross the board, and the devaluation of the US dollar and the switch over to the Amero, he simply said, “The slaves are still asleep.” That’s what the global elite said, “The slavesare still asleep.” Even they were shocked of how comatose we are. So these vultures keepon sucking every dollar they can out of the financial system before the masses wake up tothe pillage and do something about it.

So what is the good news, and can we look forward to more of it before the end arrives?The US dollar is at a 15 year low and going lower. If would already have failed butfor the fact that it is the reserve world currency, and the other nations have nowhere togo for an alternative. In a February 3, 2011 article by Von Helman, entitled “Mexicangovernment successfully sheds the US dollar from its economy,” Mexico banned the useof the dollar in commerce in Mexico, even at Wal Marts. Why? They have no confidencein the dollar being worth anything and don’t want to be holding excess dollars when thedollar collapses.

Future prediction: Quantitative easing (QE) to infinity

How are we solving that problem, and is there a solution to the dollar problem? BenBernanke, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, is doing what is called quantitativeeasing 2 (QE2), which is simply creating money out of thin air. Even though he isrunning the printing press full time, 99% of the money is created on the Fed’s computerby entering a number with zeros behind it. It is simple. Then those digits are either wiredelectronically to his bedfellow cronies at the too-big-to-fail banks, or they are enteredin their respective bank reserve accounts at the Fed. Not to hard to stay afloat when youown the computer which creates the digital money.

Bernanke’s latest infusion into the system will be $600 billion by September of 2011,which, by the way will run out ahead of time at the end of June, 2011. When that semiload of money doesn’t solve anything and isn’t enough, he will then do QE3, then QE4,then QE5. Then, as Jim Rogers, a noted international financier and economist says, “itwill continue up to QE18 and on to infinity” until the dollar ends up in the Weimar bin.And what does this process of creating money out of thin air accomplish? - inflation,hyper-inflation, the complete collapse of the dollar and the total wipe out of everyone’swealth. But is the public waking up? No. And they won’t, either, until after it happens.

Future prediction: Republicans and job creation

Before the November, 2010, elections, the Republicans, especially Tea Partiers amongthem, were on a campaign crusade to change Washington’s landscape. Once they gotcontrol of the House, which they did, they were going to attack the problems and turnthings around. Did they do it? No. Why? For one thing, the problems were too far goneto do anything about. The horse was already dead - there wasn’t even a pulse. Besidesthat, all their good intentions changed to mush when they arrived at the Washington partyand were glad-handed at the door by hundreds of lobbyists with mucho green stuff inburgeoning briefcases. At that point, resolution to do the right thing then went out the window – welcome to the Washington – the Wall Street gravy train. Now these samepeople smile, play the politician pretend game and forget all the pleasant platitudes theypromised to the people back home. And if the green stuff from the lobbyists didn’t do thepersuasion job to see things the Washington/Wall Street way, a 45 caliber pistol to thetemple in the back room, or on board Air Force One, always managed to turn the light on.

Another problem these politicians have is focus. They are always chasing the wrong tail,being focused on everything irrelevant, like Obamacare, cutting spending, raising thedebt ceiling, gay rights, union rights, and a whole circus of other issues, that, by fixingthem, it won’t matter a lick. The real problem in the US today is jobs, and none of thebrightest brains in Washington is saying a word about job creation. How can you havea “jobless recovery?” It is impossible, but somehow the focus is always somewhere else.

Future prediction: NAFTA still rules – shipping jobs overseas continues

With the advent of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, webegan shipping all of our good jobs overseas ever since. Now, they were all gone. We arefeeding the rest of the world while starving our people here at home. But this process hasbeen intentional. The big US corporations are still shipping thousands of jobs overseasin the name of making money and avoiding taxes. In turn, they are creating tens ofthousands of jobs overseas, in China, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Japan, everywhere buthere. And this process won’t change, ever.

Just one example of that malady comes from a July 27, 2010, Global Research article,by Mark Vorpahl, entitled “The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) hasresulted in increased unemployment in the U.S.” The author is discussing the proposedKorean Free Trade Agreement (KFTA), that the Obama administration, along with thebig auto companies want to push through. This would be a reciprocal agreement betweenthe Korean auto industry and the U.S. auto industry.

The impact, the article states, “would likely displace 888,000 existing or potential U.S.jobs.” And then when that door is open to Korea, this administration will try to openother similar doors in Panama and Columbia. The powers-that-be are on a break neckpath to destroy our country, and we, the common people, are in the path of that 100 foothigh tsunami.

Future prediction: “Natural disasters” increasing

Over the last few years there has been a dramatic increase of natural and man madedisasters. On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 major earthquake in Haiti that killed over 250,000people. On April 16, 2010, British Petroleum (BP) oil gusher erupted in the Gulf ofMexico, destroying most of the marine life in the Gulf, killing many people and makingmany people sick. On March 11, 2011, a epic 9.0 earthquake and tsunami rocked Japan,killing tens of thousands of people and creating hundreds of billion dollars in damage.As a consequence of that huge earthquake and giant tsunami that wreaked massive devastation on the Japanese mainland, it also fatally affected the six nuclear reactors atFukushima, that are currently in varying stages of meltdown and could pose a globalthreat if not brought under control. Other natural disasters have also hit this country inthe last few months. There were 173 tornadoes which ripped through Alabama on April27, 2011, a new one-day record, and a total of 326 confirmed tornadoes within the April25-28 outbreak. The estimate of just property damage from this rash of tornadoes will bebetween $2.8 billion and $4.2 billion.

Then, on May 22, 2011, an EF5 tornado with winds exceeding 200 m.p.h. rippedthrough Joplin, Missouri, destroying most of the city and leaving hundreds dead andhundreds missing. And not only tornadoes are destroying property and lives, but historicflooding along the Mississippi River has destroyed thousands of homes, businesses, andhundreds of thousands of valuable farm land will be under water for most of the summer,preventing the planting of crops this year. Currently the Missouri River is pouring overits banks along its 2,330 mile course with forecasts of historic flooding for the rest of thesummer.

It is worthy to note that these “natural disasters” are not natural. Something else isgoing on, and even many of the major media are starting to recognize it. In the last sixmonths I have heard many media use the word “Biblical” in reference to these horrificevents. One media called these natural disasters “The finger of God,” which is a termthe Egyptian magicians used in referring to the plagues that the God of Israel throughMoses rained down on Egypt during Pharaoh’s reign. In all my life I have never heardthe terms “Biblical” or “The finger of God” used by the major media. But now even theyare starting to realize that some other Force is at work here. But this is just the beginning.God will not stop until He leaves this county in ashes. Payment has to come for all thiscountry’s wickedness, deceit, lies, and oppression.

Future prediction: World tipping points and comments by Jim Willie

The website The Economic Collapse, on June 7, 2011, posted an article entitled “10 Tipping Points Which Could Potentially Plunge the World into a Horrific Economic Nightmare.” Without spending any time on any one of these tipping points, it is worthyto mention them, for any one of them could be the right catalyst to start the cascade. It isespecially critical to watch the Middle East with all the turmoil and current bloodshed,while the US through the UN and the CIA is trying to depose standing dictators andestablish their own US puppets in their places. That tinderbox is prime for the right spark.The world, through the Middle East turmoil could easily slip into World War III, andthe way things are going it is almost inevitable. One thing the media is not covering,however, is China’s warning to the US, that if we invade Pakistan, China will considerthat an act of war against China, and they will attack the US. And when the Chinesespeak, they mean it.

But getting back to the article on the 10 tipping points. They are: Syria, Iran, Libya,more revolutions in the Middle East, Fukushima, oil prices, government austerity, theEuropean sovereign debt crisis, the dying US dollar, and droughts and floods. With one eye focused on these critical tipping points, with the other one we need to look at someof the serious problems here at home that will never be corrected unless we can oust thecrooks in Washington. That, unfortunately, is almost impossible with the Hill’s and WallStreet’s current array of characters, crooks, charlatans and clowns.

One of the best financial analysts in the world is Jim Willie, editor of The Hat TrickLetter. In his June 9, 2011, article entitled “U.S. Hurtles Toward System Failure,” Willie sums up the situation in the United States very succinctly in the heading and theparagraph below:

Future prediction: NOTHING FIXED, STILL INSOLVENT & FRAUD RIDDEN

“One should constantly remember that no solution to the financial crisis has beeninstalled, nothing fixed, no big banks liquidated, no end to monetary inflation, no end tooutsized US Govt deficits, no change of Goldman Sachs running the US Govt financeministry, no discharge of big bank home inventory, no end to secretive subterraneansupport of stocks and bonds, no revival of the housing market, no return of US industryfrom Asia, no prosecution of Wall Street for multi-$trillion bond fraud, no end to moneylaundering of narco funds to Wall Street banks, no interruption to the endless costly wars,no end to the propaganda obediently pumped out by the US press & media networks.Nothing has changed except that some commodities are lower in price, including thequeen Silver.”

Future predictions: Where to go from here?

With that dire summary from Mr. Willie, what more can be said? As I have mentionedmany times in this narrative, things are not looking good from now on. What thefuture will bring only God knows. All any of us can do is to prepare for any and everyeventuality according to our means. That means having at least a year’s worth of foodfor you and your family, getting out of financial institutions with your money and buyinggold and silver coins to preserve your wealth. You also need to band together with othersof like mind, get out of the big cities if you can and move to somewhere remote, learn toplant a garden to raise your own food, and pray.
