2014 Predictions
I don’t profess to be a fortune
teller, an exotic Swami or professional prognosticator. I do know human beings
are creatures of habit and if you discern people’s values, habits, patterns
and/or proclivities you can reliably predict their future behavior. With that
in mind, I am offering a few predictions for 2014 based upon past attitudes,
values and behavioral patterns.
Looking at the West, especially the
US
with its history of open and clandestine invasion, genocide, neo-colonialism,
neo-liberal imperialism and warmongering, we can safely say it will continue
into 2014. The US will use
even more drones to bomb innocent men women and children in places like Afghanistan , Yemen ,
Somalia , and Pakistan as
they continue the totally bogus War on Terrorism.
The US
will stay in Afghanistan
to continue to reap record opium crops (60% of the world’s opium supply) that
make the CIA, organized crime and Wall Street banksters so rich. In fact the US
CIA World Factbook lists opium as Afghanistan ’s leading crop. But Afghanistan is
also awash in mineral resources such as: iron, uranium, cooper, cobalt, lithium,
natural gas and some oil. Don’t count on the US
vacating Afghanistan
in 2014.
The American government in cahoots
with the international bankers and multi-national corporations will put an even
deeper palm print on the continent of Africa in: the Central African Republic which has
abundant resources of timber, diamonds and cotton. The US will create pretexts to send more troops,
drones or “aid” to Mali to
ensure they keep tabs on the uranium, phosphate and gold there, Nigeria will be
a focal point because the elites want to protect the Anglo-American oil
interests there. Libya will
be on the Western imperialists clip board as the consequent societal collapse
following the 2011 US
toppling of Qadhafi worsens. Of course
the kleptomaniacs also want the oil and gold there. The vampire elites are
looking at South Sudan and will attempt to destabilize it further to gain full access
to the oil deposits there while Israel
covets the water from the Nile
River South Sudan also has gold and diamonds as well as fertile
land that make it irresistible to the corporate theives. South Africa will be in the cross hairs for
several important reasons: one they have linked with Brazil ,
Russia , India and China to form the BRICS powerful
trading and economic block. The BRICS are talking about establishing a global bank
that would rival the IMF, World Bank and Bank of International Settlements. That’s
a no no that could lead to war. The BRICS pose a nominal threat to the Western
banking cartels. Look for the Western shot callers to attempt to destabilize
these countries internally. You may see or hear about riots, demonstrations and
clashes with police but know the West is behind most of this! The West views South Africa as
a weak link in the coalition. South
Africa is also being watched because there
is turmoil in the platinum mines with workers demanding higher wages. The thugs
in the corporate suites won’t tolerate that. As we close out 2013, news about
what’s happening in Congo
and Uganda
is being suppressed. Look for incidents in that region to make news early in
2014.
Expect tensions to escalate between
Japan its US ally and China
over disputed islands in the East China Sea .
Recently China initiated an
Air Defense Zone in the East China Sea and
requested other nations apprise them of their military flight plans and have
their military planes identify themselves when approaching the area. Japan and the US
immediately indicated their refusal to comply and within hours sent planes and
bombers into the area without notifying China . There were no confrontations
but the next time Japan and
the US did it, China scrambled
jets to intercept and shadow their aircraft. China recently sent its only
aircraft carrier into the region. On another occasion China sent
three ships to confront a US Navy guided missile cruiser supposedly in
international waters. This has the potential to escalate into full scale
hostilities. A war with China
that also involves Japan , South Korea , Viet
Nam and the US
would be one way for the US
to get out from under the trillions of dollars of debt it owes both China and Japan . Don’t think I’m using
hyperbole, the oligarchs are really that sick.
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail.
The global economy will teeter back
and forth on the brink of collapse as the insolvency of sovereign nations and
the “Too Big To Fail” banks pose an ever growing threat. The unregulated over
leveraged global derivatives trade took AIG and Lehman Brothers down in 2007.
That situation has not been resolved despite the bailouts, and ominously the derivatives
bubble has grown to between 600 trillion with a “T” and 1.5 quadrillion
dollars. That gargantuan total is bigger than the total global GDP of all
developed and developing nations put together!
If it comes unraveled like it did in 2007 it will mean the end of the
Western economic system as we know it. This news is being suppressed by the
corporate media. You won’t find it anywhere except on a few sites like http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-coming-derivatives-panic-that-will-destroy-global-financial-markets
and http://demonocracy.info/infographics/usa/derivatives/bank_exposure.html The derivatives bubble will inflate even
larger in 2014 bringing the world closer to financial Armageddon.
Keep your eyes on Detroit . In 2014 the one per cent vampires
and vultures will pick that once great city clean leaving pensioners strapped,
services cut to the bone and the poor in a lurch. This is the template the financial
oligarchs plan to use on the state, local and federal levels. Keep in mind
there are numerous municipalities, counties and states on the brink of insolvency.
Over one hundred public worker pension funds are underfunded around the country
by trillions of dollars. Politicians cannot raise enough tax money to cover the
shortfalls. Keep in mind the US
government is broke, it cannot pay its debts (that’s why they have to raise the
debt ceiling). The federal government doesn’t have the money to pay for Social
Security or Medicare! In effect the US
government is already in default to its own citizens!! So to forestall the
inevitable, they will usher in austerity programs. For a preview, watch what
they do to Detroit .
In 2014 the Kleptocratic corporate
elites and their cohorts in Congress will write and pass legislation that
further undermines the social safety nets on the local, state and federal
levels. In 2014 more and more people
will become knowledgeable about Frankenfoods the so called Bio-Technology
industry that is destroying the global ecosystem. A grass roots movement will
generate opposition to GMOs but the Obama administration will side with
Monsanto and the other bio-tech giants.
Lastly there will be calls for Obama’s
impeachment. Whether or not they will be successful is not clear. A certain
foreign nation and their powerful lobby want to frighten Obama into following
their “Middle East ” war agenda. If he refuses
they will sic their dogs in Congress and the media on him.
The good news for 2014 is, more and
more people will awaken to their/our divinity. Many more folks will discover
and actualize their innate potential on a practical and meaningful level. Yes
many will continue to live in ignorance and decadence; many will die
prematurely but in 2014 more people will empower themselves in a mighty way. Many
will dabble in urban gardening and organic farming. More people will live
better, healthier happier lives. In 2014 many will wake up and empower
themselves despite the collapse going on around them. Oh by the way, Happy New
Year!
