This blog is for fun. If 7 out of 10 predictions turn out to be correct, credit will go to the Peanut Gallery who constantly make unscientific forecasts.
1.Employment stats in the US will not improve this year. Obama will be a one term president, to be replaced by default. The Peanut Gallery predicts that whoever opposes Obama will be the next president.
2.Europe will slide into recession as their debt bubble grows. The continent is unable to compete with the emerging economies, and will struggle to prevent the Islamic influence from spreading. Expect economic unrest as the masses take to the streets. The beginning of the end for the European experiment in social democracy. Sorry folks, but socialism only works in good times and only for limited periods of time.
3.The Arab Spring (who remembers them?) will be confirmed as another non-event created by the western media. We will witness the birth of the Muslim Brotherhood as the dominant political force in the Middle East with the salafists snapping at their heels. Democracy takes generations and education to develop into a force. Neither of these is a priority in the Arab world.
4.Word for word what the Peanut Gallery wrote exactly a year ago "The Egyptian Military have no intention of relinquishing control of Egypt, with or without elections. They own 40% of the economic assets in Egypt, and it would be comparable to Obama announcing he won't be running for a second term." We stand by this analysis. We further stand by the analysis that the removal of Mubarak was a military coup, compounded by the ineptness of an American president's belief that Egyptians were Americans wearing different clothing.
5.The Iran - Israel crisis is a smokescreen for a much larger confrontation developing between Sunni and Shiite Muslims. The US and Europe supporting the Sunni side while Russia backs the Shiites. The main battleground between the two sides will be in Syria. Regardless of how many cease-fires the UN arranges, the fighting will continue as Islam, in these regions, does not know or understand the word "compromise".
6.Oil will become just another commodity as natural gas and other alternatives replaces it as the major source of energy. Natural gas infrastructure enabling the easy transport and storage of LNG will dictate the economic priorities of most nations as fracking and other hi-tech methods of gas production develop. Their will be a massive over-supply of natural gas undermining the importance of oil. Consequently, political winds of change will sweep the planet.
7.Climate change is and will continue to play a part, creating unrest, shortages and trickle of refugees. This trickle will eventually become a river and then a flood as humanity in these areas look for alternatives. The water line is sinking in Yemen, Bahrein, Qatar, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and The Sudan amongst others. The countries that have oil can buy their water. The others all appear to be involved in civil wars....
8. An intended consequence of the above, is that American forces will slowly abandon the Middle East and concentrate on Asia and South America, the countries where the next economic upswing is still in its infancy. The protection of trade routes is the top priority for the US economic establishment. More than 90% of commercial goods between continents do so by container ship. Fifty percent of these traverse the South China Sea. Expect to hear more about this area.
9.The forgotten people, who once assumed they were the centre of the universe, The Palestinians arabs, will continue to be forgotten, just as Israel will continue to grow in strength. The arabs of Judea and Samaria will cast their eyes in the direction of Jordan as an alternative. The rest of the world, sick and tired of the deceit and lies, will turn to the real problems of survival.
10. And finally, the greatest country to live, on the planet, Canada, will continue to prosper. Only 35 million inhabitants, enough food, water, land and raw materials for all and then some, are the envy of the planet. They will be partnered by well positioned Australia.
