I predict Israel will go full third Reich and install gas chambers to take care of their Palestine problems more efficiently. I think the overt control of the US government and it's proxies like the UK and Australia will continue their fight against actually journalism and will install a wing in the NSA specific to exterminating truth tellers and whistleblowers in extrajudicial process and ignore questions about it.

What do you mean "will go?"

If you question the use of a gas chamber you will also be labeled antisemitic.

I predict it will be revealed that Volodmyr Zelenskyy is the illegitimate love-child of a young KGB agent stationed in East Germany and a brilliant and dedicated young physicist. Yes, the entire Ukraine war is a family drama between Volodmyr trying to win the love of his absentee father and the love/hate relationship between Angela and her secret lover Vlad.

Waves of social unrest in EU countries as Sanctions continue to erode living standards there and more Europeans wake up to the fact that their leaders are colossal blunderers, like a duelist who mistakes shooting himself in the foot for firing on his opponent.

Possible false flag event to provoke China over Taiwan, but it won't work. Possible radiological event in Ukraine in last ditch effort to get nudging NATO all the way into the conflict. USA overthrowing the Saudi regime also possible, although I think Pepe Escobar is correct that China will slow roll the Petroyuan. Status of the Dollar as world reserve currency gets shakier in any case. By the way, hilarious speculation on the paternity and motivation of president Volodymyr Z by Jlalbrecht in this comment thread. Happy New Year!

I predict the polar ice caps will melt causing a nuclear war between the USA and Russia/China over control of Arctic trade routes, as well as massive coastal flooding, mass migration, hunger, famine and massive suffering. After the 5 billion person die-off, the remaining few billion humans will rebuild a communal society with a sharing economy. In short, we’ll evolve to a fully cognizant species. One can dream, can’t one?

Boo hiss

It is well above freezing the grass is green and this is ski country.

Here in Quebec we already have such a social contract and this is already too pessimistic after three years of being locked up for being a senior despite being fully vaccinated. As we drove to the supermarket the only flag I saw was the flag of Ukraine. No Quebec, no Canada , no Stars and stripes . just maize and blue.

I predict that Useful Idiots will once again claim unsubstantiated prescience. Oh wait. That won't happen til Jan 2024, assuming the hosts haven't been disappeared like their Jan 3 2022 podcast/"predictions". That would be terrible. But would it be weird?

True dat (if an old white dude is allowed to say dat). But these days one hopes a little jest can go a long way--with minimal risk.

Cuba will lead a second wave of the Pink Tide in Latin America... and will beat the US attempts to overthrow the democratically elected governments.

Donald Trump becomes Speaker of the House. Then he passes progressive legislation like Medicare For All. When it fails to become law due to America's arcane political procedures, he then blames it on the woke liberal establishment.

Amazon will become a unionized, democratic company. This leads to everyone getting the thing they don't need at higher prices, but more true product reviews with 1 or 2 star reviews.

In Quebec Amazon employees are Quebecers first and Amazon employees second. They receive a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They have a right to health, education and welfare for themselves and those they love. They are middle class not peasants. We are a liberal democracy where religion is the domain of the Church and government serves all our our people and race religion and gender are the affairs of the Church and the government serves all of the people all of the time.

Just like Franklin and Jefferson advocated.

Thank you Bull of the night.

I think Switzerland is finally going to come under pressure for its "neutral" pro-US stance and harboring of international organisations like GAVI that are exempt from Swiss National Law even if they are on Swiss ground. For hosting the WEF, protecting Glencore, Syngenta and too big to fail banks agendas and profits, for being the nice little perfect country one would love to live in, as soon as the soup gets too hot, for harboring the second most restrictive anti-terrorist laws, allowing to stow away anybody deemed potentially prone to commit acts of civil unrest (... oh wait there's a knock on the door)...

Zelensky will be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

Joe BIden will not pass a national health care bill.

Donald Trump will be convicted of many things, and will mysteriously disappear, along with one of his gambling casinos.

Elon Musk will successfully launch a welsh corgi into space and will subsequently win Time Magazine's Man of the Year Award, again, and putting him ahead 2-1 over both Donald Trump and Vlodomyr Zelesnky who have thus far only won this award once.

Hillary Clinton will announce her intention to run for the U.S. presidency, declaring her running mate to be Zelesnky. The Democratic National Committee will declare it is now legal for anyone born in Ukraine to run for U.S. high office.

Useful Idiots podcast will surpass its own record set in 2022 for likes.

2023 the truth , the whole truth and nothing but the truth

I am 74 years old and labelled autistic. I promised a dying Tibetan monk living in Idaho to write The Bible according to Moe.

He was brought up believing in Alistair Crowley and His Bible.

I learned how to write commenting in the New York Times. My wife has a Doctorate in Education the Tibetan Monk was a colleague of my wife in her doctoral program. She wanted me to try to complete a college education never knowing I couldn't write.

I have many Bibles including the teachings of Buddha, the Torah, the Koran, The Book of Mormon and the Bible as interpreted by Greeks Romans, Mark Twain and Jefferson..

I've learned to write on a kindergarten keyboard and maybe it is time to write The Bible According to Moe.

The Book of Jonah closes the Hebrew Bible. It teaches us the future is known not even to God Almighty. We are the only thing that can influence the future. Twenty twenty two was the best year of my life.

Thomas Jefferson wrote The American Bible. He understood the Book of Jonah.

There will be no Armageddon no resurrections no omniscience no need for prayers or Divine interference only the face in the mirror.

"The best laid schemes of mice o men; gang oft agley." Ode to a mouse R Burns

America needs its own Bible and Thomas Jefferson wrote it when he was old and had time to reflect on the Universe.

America will decide on America whether to believe in the writings of a time before Darwin or of a future where all men are created equal in the eyes of the Creator.

I am a happy old man and learned to love the face in the mirror.

Reagan was a fiend.

Most want peace and harmony. Reagan offered only strife and hatred. He said it was a time for choosing. Much of America chose strife and hatred.

Reagan won the battle but the war is just starting.

The American Bible Thomas Jefferson available on Amazon

the Reaganites will chose the New York, New York born Boris Johnson as Speaker. He is a Conservative to his very marrow. The Prime Minister of England has little remaining power but the Speaker of the house will decide the future.

Johnson knows his Samuel Johnson.

Johnson fought Franklin and Jefferson with words and Franklin and Jefferson believed politics served people not mythical beliefs.

Boris Johnson is a scholar who knows first century Rome and Athens and the roots of European "Christianity".
