"What are you predicting?"
I don't make predictions, but do collect predictions or prophesy from those who make them. Themes for the coming year appear to be:
- Serious internal power struggles in many governments worldwide, including, surprisingly, our own, as well as North Korea, Russia and China.
- Much scheming, done in secret, to damage the US in every way possible, with even a few of our putative allies involved.
- An attempted assassination against our president.
- Tsunami again, this time affecting the west coast of the US.
- Increased volcanic activity, as well as earthquakes (which relates back to tsunami). The New Madrid Fault becomes much more active.
- A very cold and unusually long winter begins after the fall of 2006.
- Rioting will break out in the US, targeting Muslims. There will be killing, but God is warning Christians not to involve themselves.
I'm not making these predictions, and I'm not saying that I agree with them. However, there have been multiple instances of all the above being predicted or prophesied, in the various online sources that I've been following. Are these people feeding off of one another, as far as their predictions? I don't know.
Time will tell if any of these prove to be accurate. It's interesting reading, at least, and it does create a sort of window into the Zeitgeist.
Watch for increased turmoil, tumult and tragedy in the next three months. Watch for weather related incidents as well.
Three months is not too long to wait and see :-)
"Certainly some seem more likely than others to me."
I'm curious to see which of those you would deem more likely. Care to cut and paste them in descending order of likelihood, as you see it?
Yep! Kinda like the Hapsburg Lip.
- Increased volcanic activity, as well as earthquakes (which relates back to tsunami).
Definitely, as well as increased storms from electromagnetic energy.
The New Madrid Fault becomes much more active.
Don’t know on this
- An attempted assassination against our president.
Almost a given
Serious internal power struggles in many governments worldwide, including, surprisingly, our own, as well as North Korea, Russia and China.
I hope this is true…especially N. Korea! – but also China and Russia. I guess you could look at the dems and impeachment talk as a serious internal power struggle here. I don’t know enough about what’s happening in China and Russia to really say.
Tsunami again, this time affecting the west coast of the US.
I doubt this. We have too many warning signs . I don’t even think we’ll have a big earthquake in CA. But I could be wrong :-) Maybe a big earthquake off the west coast – but not followed by a horrible tsunami
- Much scheming, done in secret, to damage the US in every way possible, with even a few of our putative allies involved.
This has been going on and will continue – but we know about it, so --
- Rioting will break out in the US, targeting Muslims. There will be killing, but God is warning Christians not to involve themselves.
Not likely, imo. There may be some skirmishes in a city or two.
- A very cold and unusually long winter begins after the fall of 2006.
If not in the fall of 2006 then 2007, if not 2007 then 2008 – you get the picture :-)
That is my absolute favorite Super Bowl moment. John Riggins was the man! "Loosen up, Sandy, baby!"
purposefully.....thanks for maybe the best laugh of the day Oldleft.
I love that guy.
Janet Reno, Madeline Albright...love those guys too.
Nah, the EU isn´t near to be in the same category like the USSR. The European unification has brought us (Europeans) the freedom to travel and move, to work and vote for the local mayors and city councils, to trade within 25 sovereign countries. It has brought us a common currency for 12 nations with more than 300 million people. There´s lots of bureaucracy, granted, and way too many subsidies, but the people definitely benefit from the whole "project".
On the one hand I do agree that the Common Market has great benefits, and that the idea of the EU is attractive. OTOH the time for the EU is not ripe, IMHO, and may never be.If the time were ripe for the EU, its members would be able to agree on a constitution which is a consensus statement of a political framework at least somewhat on the lines of the US Constitution. Far from being a consensus statement of political principle for the ages, the proposed EU constitution resembles nothing in American experience so much as a wasteful "pork barrel" spending bill whose mandates inevitably will soon be overtaken by developments.
It would be no remarkable feat for an American youth to commit the entire original US Constitution to memory; for a European youth to do the same for the EU proposal would at once inspire respect and contempt. How did he do it? and Why did he do it?
The EU constitution is BS. And of course, the European unification takes times. But just imagine that it´s a matter of course for me to pay with the same money like Spaniards or Finmen. There is understanding for the unification - but we´re not willing to give ourselves up. Europe can´t be compared with the USSR or the USA - it´s something completely new. It´s good that the process is slowing down a bit. Some Euro-fanatics almost saw us as a world power, lol. They desperately asked for the results of the referendi on the constitution in France and the Netherlands.
How about: Ted Kennedy strokes Polosi's tummy?
ewww.
Worse, Pelosi strokes Teddy's tummy...
I'm predicting an 8.0 ±0.5, on the New Madrid, in mid May .
Broke 11,000 today...
