Predictions of the New Year

The year 2010 comes to merciful end, but what awaits us seems to be much much worse. I am truly afraid for the direction the country takes as the Republican Brownshirts, in league with the gutless democrats, threaten to eliminate our civil liberties until we are nothing more than slaves. So what will happen?

1)Jobs will be created and the will be much media celebration. However, having done my research on ALL new jobs I have come to an inescapable conclusion: none of them pay anything. CBS news did a report on a small business that hired three new workers and was going to hire three more next year. A drop in the bucket for the millions out of work, they almost forgot to mention what they were going to get paid: 12 dollars on hour. No word on benefits but I expect they would have been severely limited. I don't know about you, but I can't live on twelve bucks an hour. ALL new jobs that are being created pay nothing. You can't have a middle class where everyone is poor and working for slave wages. Look at the jobs that say they will train you for a new career. Chef school? You'll pay a fortune to work for 8 bucks an hour. Heating and air conditioning? The same as chef school. You can't change professions, start at the bottom and expect everything to be good. We need good paying jobs and these will disappear faster next year as corporations continue their take over of the government. Government isn't the problem. THIS government is the problem. Giving it to the fascism to come will make things worse. Unemployment will continue upward next year. As we already at Depression Era 23%, I don't know how much more the American people can take.

2)A spectacular terrorist attack with a weapon of mass destruction will occur somewhere in the world. It will be used as an excuse to crack down on civil liberties world wide and paint Muslims as dangerous extremists. They are the new Jews and Muslims everywhere should be worried. Don't fall for false flag operations. The Internet will be curtailed and even gun possession may be eliminated as Eric Holder has said he wants to do. Whether this will lead to civil war is unknown as the American people seem to be going the way of the Wiemar Republic and are accepting the most foul of draconian laws being foisted on us.

3)Oil will hit 4 dollars a gallon by spring and continue ever upward. 5 dollar gas by the end of the year is possible, especially if things go south in the Middle East for some reason.

4) The stock market will crash wiping out anyone not in on the rigged game. Put options will make the rich even richer and wipe out the wealth for the rest of us. The housing market will likewise suffer. Gold will skyrocket.

5)A charismatic leader will arise from the ashes of the Republican party and put the final nail in the coffin that is America. Obama will find himself behind the eight ball as the economy implodes. His chances of a second term look increasingly at odds. 1984 looms.

6) Natural disasters will continue to dominate the news as climate change deniers drool over every massive blizzard that hits as proof that it isn't occurring. Our climate is changing and what no one seems to remember is that after every warming period in history, an ice age follows. This has to do with the Gulf Stream stopping, which it is, and bringing cold across the planet as a result. A solar max appears to be occurring which may set the stage for this climate shift to occur rather suddenly, possibly in 2012 or 2013. The solar storm predicted could end electricity use for months or years. Be prepared to live off the grid.

7)The TSA will continue to rape us, police will become more and more belligerent, and god forbid you speak out about anything. The thought police are coming. Big Brother is here.

8) Governments will fall due to world wide wealth inequality. The internet will be instumental as people see the rich flaunting their wealth with impunity. In this counrty, the wealth inequlity barrier will still not be a deciding factor in Tea Party candiates or supporters. The Tea Party will be a force to be dealt with and will destroy the middle class in this country.

Happy new year everyone. Let's hope I'm wrong about everything written here.
