All the Purebloods are rounded up and sent to the Bronx, where they are allowed to watch sports, gamble, eat greasy food, and bet on politicks and sports. This is labeled as 'punishment' by The State, and madness ensues as the country tries to 'cross state lines' to get to the boogie down Bronx.

I predict that as the propped-up phony economy unravels, people may finally stop believing the WEF's terribly dumb ideas regarding innovation and technological trajectories. Klaus' has convinced every CEO out there in the importance of 'Digital Twins' and Industry 4.0 - the reality is that these ideas are f*cking retarded simplifications of trends which were already happening in a less grand / disruptive fashion.

Okay, so this is less of a prediction and more of a vain hope. Still.

Barring that, many a stupid c-suite person is going to get all amped up for something on the innovation checklist again, wasting time and money for anyone sucked into their vortex of non-comprehension.

My initial thought (which has been consistent since the 2020 campaign) was that Biden will be POTUS until the end of January, 2023, then be deposed by his handlers. Giving the ring to Kamala with less than two years remaining in the term allows her to seek the crown twice on her own.

Of course, given Kamala's current unpopularity, this thought may be wrong. They could very well install her into the position prior to the mid-terms, allowing time to put in the VPOTUS of their choice with a favorable congress, then by prearrangement depose Kamala, thereby allowing the new VPOTUS the right to two terms of its own. If that is the thinking, then the deposing of Brandon would occur prior to the mid-terms.

The question in that scenario is who would take the second position? Who could be left enough to please the puppet masters and still pass muster in the Congress? I suspect the VPOTUS nom in this case would be Cory Booker or someone like him. He checks all the boxes except personal plumbing but KH would have filled that box with her ascension.

2022: They will admit that the Vaccine was a “solution” to almost all of the Earth’s problems. You all should be proud that you made yourself 15% less fertile, as the earth will benefit from less people. We will be rolling out tax breaks to Robotic and AI companies. A Plethora of Robots will allow the remaining people to live at higher quality levels. We will all live at higher quality levels and we can all share in this new found wealth.

The AI will help us individually make better decisions: your purchasing decisions will be monitored and if you go off the prescribed course, an intervention will occur. Property ownership is obviously a racist patriarchal system in which those not privy to the system are continuously suppressed in their ability to ever reach the affluent life. We can all live the affluent life with our Robots servant and producers when we all give up individual property rights.

The vaccines come in many types, and now that you have Antibody Dependent Enhancement ADE meaning an overblown immune response when challenged with a new variant, Pfizer has perfected a system for targeted boosters developed within 45 days. A fringe group a greedy psychopaths who could care less about the rest of society, and sociopathically cannot even empathize that they are putting all of society at risk by not taking the vaccines will be treated. Some may be cured by custom State Provided Injections.

Because we sent each batch of custom vaccine to at least 20 different states, we now know exactly how our initial 4000 various batches affects the populations, in different demographics and States and even temperatures so problem areas of the country can get custom vaccines to push that area to greater prosperity and affluence. Some individuals who still refuse to join the People’s Affluence Movement (PAM), will receive mental health screenings and AI robots will use repetition to get rid of harmful and hateful ways of thinking.

The vaccine is all we need to solve all problem and let everyone live their best life. Follow the science, have faith in the science. The James Webb telescope has now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no grand creator, no God, and that is why it was launched on Christmas day….your real savior is science formed by our great computers in our hallowed halls. It’s one for all and all for one!

My only “fringe” prediction for 2022 is a Patriots vs Buccaneer’s super bowl. The NFL will orchestrate this through favourable referee decisions. All so the public can finally learn once and for all if Bill Belichick or Tom Brady is real GOAT. The ratings for this soap opera would be through the roof.

I would like to “Thank You” for the opportunity to share my thoughts and opinions. So here goes…

Stu

U.S. Politics - A total rout by the Republicans. The majority of the voting public (65%?) has grown so tired of all the lies and deceit the Democrats have continually spewed.

Covid-19 - It will slowly fade away, due to the strain of virus it is. Albeit against some people’s better judgement.

The Macroeconomy - We need a massive reduction in Federal workers. After that, we need a reduction in pay across the board with no exceptions. Move most politicians to the same services the general public has (ex. Healthcare).

The Stock Market - A rather large adjustment mid-year, with a much larger one come late Fall. P & E is a mess, and you can’t pay out, what you just don’t have and can no longer borrow.

The Fed - Only one choice and that is the “End the Fed” movement, but I doubt it.

Commodities, Oil & Bitcoin - Too much, but we need oil so pump more here, and Bitcoin not being backed will always be a gamble, but a reward too at times.

Geopolitical - America desperately needs to rid itself of Biden and all who believe in his ways. The world, other then the Globalist, are fed up with it all. We need a nice strong America first and foremost, and in 10-20 years, if we are ready financially, then we can help others that are not Citizens.

Sports - All of them will be in decline for the foreseeable future. They have lost there biggest customers, which is business. Greatly reduced are the days of lunches, golf and events by most companies. No money for that and working from home will put an end to that rather quickly.

Misc. Hillary and her Cohorts get arrested at least. Some go to jail and/or huge fines for them all. The end of that nonsense finally!

1. China and Russia are collaborating to develop a two-front war. Simultaneously China will move on Taiwan and Russia will move on the Ukraine with the assumption that the USA will not have the bravado under a Hidden Biden administration to defend. They will both make major advances and the USA will be revealed as the third world country it is quickly becoming.

2. A much more virulent and deadly iteration of Covid will be released, sorry I mean evolve, in China. Likely a hemorrhagic virus (note that Covid2 IS a blood vessel virus). It will move fast and kill quickly and we will not be ready financially or culturally.

Obviously both these things (or either) will lead to wholesale destruction of the markets.

And on the political front, Bye bye Biden replaced by Kamala who gets replaced by Hillary Clinton! Yes you read it here first!

Cheers!

I predict currency and financial crash on epic scale for two main reasons:

1. It's time to hoover up all the baby boomer savings. If they wait another decade most of them will have been passed on to their heirs. It's time and that pile has been sitting there begging to be taken out for decades now.

2. It's time to wipe out the Federal Reserve system along with paper money and put in place a digital system along with personal ID ushering in a Brave New world. Every transaction will be monitored, subject to permission or rejection, taxed, databased and so forth. Money will be tied to a universal credit system which might end up determining monthly income at some point a direct 1000 points = $1000 per month Units type deal. And then also they can track medicines, websites, chats, locations visited, email content, TV shows watched, food consumed, miles driven, sexual activity, heart rate, emotional state, speech uttered, soon thoughts thunk and so on. So they have to get that universal personal ID system in place world wide - using vaccines as the pretext of course - and after that they will crash the current financial system and start their Brave New Digiworld forthwith.

They have to do this before the US mid-terms because either they will be properly counted and provide the US with a lame duck Presidency or they will be gamed again at which point more than half the country will finally get it that the Republic they have believed in all their lives has been a sham all along and who knows what happens then. Best to get it done before then, after which elections will probably be phased out for direct democracy by cell phone vote (all of which will be rigged of course, just don't tell anybody).

This will take place in mid-September just in time to cancel the upcoming mid-terms because of the National (and Global) Emergency that will result.

War with Ukraine will break out with threat of nuclear retaliation by Russia into US cities if the US doesn't immediately surrender and also submit to the new World Economic System published probably at Davos this summer.

my like and comment off the wall prediction:

Outer space death match TV show is created with world wide wagering.

8 contestants go up, one returns

$1billion purse to the winner.

Sponsors must be tattooed on the bodies of the contestants.

Event occurs in a zeroG deathstar outside under which no government has legal jurisdiction. Exposes the WWF for the childs play it is.

Bezos and Musk share 10% of the gambling vig, the rest is used for payoff to the winners.

Suffering pangs of long-dormant conscience, a high-ranking Deep State official "comes clean" and publishes a whole slate of irrefutable, damning evidence about the nefarious collusion and conspiring against the Old World Order, revealing long-rumored plans to "cull the herd" and to impose New World Order tyranny here and abroad.

The "fringe" of this is: once people sell their souls to the Devil to rise through the ranks of the Deep State, it will take an Exorcism by a non-compromised priest to accomplish this "flipping" of this high-ranking Deep Stater.

The result will be pandemonium, followed by the broad sunlit uplands of freedom hinted at by Winston Spencer Churchill in his finest hour speech.

It will be, in short, the vindication of traditional Christian values -- the "finest hour" of the actual "resistance" to tyranny that has thus far descended across the world these past two years.

Like a few others that have already mentioned on this thread: Biden will NOT finish the year as president. This “weekend at Bernie’s” horror show gets worse as KH nominates the “puppet master” behind most of the crap we’ve been seeing the last 18 months as her new VP. This all needs to be done before the midterm Elections, due to the communis- i mean democrats losing the house in the fall.

Blue states will expand vaccine passports. Politicians have this new tool and they’re going to use it. Masks in schools will become the law of the land, see Bill S.2516 in Massachusetts legislature.

There is a portion of the population that will NEVER give this up. This will accelerate the great migration south for anyone craving freedom. Wage inflation and supply chain interruptions will continue to increase until the system breaks and the government starts rationing.

I hope I’m wrong, but i see it everyday. People at the grocery store masked walking down the isles almost shaking in fear of contracting Covid. These people are insane and I don’t know what will bring them back.

The only thing saving Massachusetts right now is Charlie Baker. As much as I consider him a rhino, the next governor will probably be a democrat and will embrace all the nonsense. That election is coming soon.

Also,

Bitcoin < 10000

My off-the-wall prediction: A new variant that is as contagious as Omicron and far far more deadly evolves. It will be particularly devastating to countries that had zero COVID policies and managed to largely keep Omicron out. And the greatest tell it is here will be when Joe Biden struts and crows about how "he ended the pandemic". It will be the final humiliation of Joe Biden.

BTW, there is a fabulous opportunity here to make some big profits. The invasion of Ukraine is almost a done deal. Vlad says they will have to invade if no deal, and NATO/US is talking tough. If there is an invasion, nat gas/oil will ramp hard. I'm buying nat gas ETF call options for March. If prices run like in Oct/Nov, we're looking at 10x or more. No brainer with these idiots. What can go wrong with a senile ghost zombie for President and a prostitute president in waiting?

Fauci resigns in disgrace.

Biden realizes COVID is going to cost the Dems Congress in the fall......so he takes a big turn and declares the pandemic over and it's just a cold now. Go back to normal.

Pelosi has even more plastic surgery.

Russia invades eastern Ukraine and gas/oil prices ramp to the moon, bro. This triggers a mkt crash/global depression. The Cbs/Fed crank up the presses again, triggering hyper inflation collapse. Reset. Gold becomes the new (again) global reserve asset, and paper gold is banned. Gold runs up to 100,000/oz (in real value, not hyper). All countries, desperate for income, nationalize/windfall tax all gold/silver mines. The Cbs/Fed are nationalized. Food shortages cause riots/civil unrest. Most countries start UBI. That's just for starters.

It's simple cause/effect, mon. Vlad is as serious as a heart attack. Simply cannot have NATO missiles in Ukraine, just like US couldn't have russian missiles in Cuba. And NATO/US say all nations must be free to join NATO, so impasse. Russia will invade eastern Ukraine before spring melt makes it a quagmire, so by mid Feb (more likely sooner). All else flows from this (90%+ chance). Humanity is on the wrong path allowing the evil power 'Elite' and their debt based fiat system to enslave them for over last 100 yrs. Now THEY are attempting to front run the certain fiat collapse with their BBB plan (green new deal). Here is a link to a presentation by Blackrock (running elite 9 Trillion $) in Aug 19 at Jackson Hole telling the Fed what to do (which they did soon after) and that it will likely end up in a hyper inflation collapse. cheers

Attendance and viewership at College women’s sporting events starts to dissolve as more Transgender Athletes dominate the sport. Michelle Obama becomes the front runner for 2024 even though her husband has been running this presidency since the start of 2021. A smaller but just as corrupt form of BBB will pass into law. A conservative Supreme Court Justice will have an attempt made on their life throwing the SC into disarray. California enacts a mileage tax on all vehicles due to the loss of revenue from the gas tax. NAS to Value will continue causing the Fed to pause rate hikes at the bequest of Silicon Valley.
