Predictions 2009

[Raptor Witness]

Back by popular demand, this thread will be dedicated to predictions for the 2009 calendar year. Whether by hunch, feeling, intuition or premonition, all are welcome.

Good luck .... and remember [last year,] which turned out to be pretty historic.

Speaking of historic, what does the following curious premonition make you think of?

2008 - WORLD WIDE CREDIT CRISIS, AND WORST ECONOMIC DOWNTURN SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION

Thanks Stabby,

I'll start this out with an utterance that came to me this evening:

This [comet] signals a big change on the earth.

Throw them my wallet, but pull out the ticket stub. Pray for rain with the card in the silver sleeve. Pick apart the leather, and feed it to the people, for that is all they shall have to eat.

Clearly saw this one coming, first prediction came true!

STICKED

[lycanox]

Actually the second. Raptor also predicted the fire in a airport control tower a while back.

[Tired Old Man]

I don't really have anything to predict. But I would like to say thanks for the Simon and Garfunkel. Ok now I have a prediction. I won't get any work done tonight because I'll be on youtube listening to Simon And Garfunkel........Thanks

Was that this time around?

To some folks, this is "old news" because we have been hearing these things since late September. However, some rumblings are about to come to fruition. You can see this was just published a couple of days ago:

U.S. Military Preparing for Domestic Disturbances

Jim Meyers
Global Research
December 24, 2008

A new report from the U.S. Army War College discusses the use of American troops to quell civil unrest brought about by a worsening economic crisis.The report from the War College’s Strategic Studies Institute warns that the U.S. military must prepare for a “violent, strategic dislocation inside the United States” that could be provoked by “unforeseen economic collapse” or “loss of functioning political and legal order.”Entitled “Known Unknowns: Unconventional ‘Strategic Shocks’ in Defense Strategy Development,” the report was produced by Nathan Freier, a recently retired Army lieutenant colonel who is a professor at the college — the Army’s main training institute for prospective senior officers.

So I went into the Stragetic Studies Institute website and found a pdf dated Nov. 2008.

The new buzz word is "Strategic Shock." This is the same old "Shock and Awe" project, but now it has a domestic twist. The word 'strategic' should alert you to the fact that this is planned and contrived. It's all part of the larger problem-reaction-solution plan. These are not sudden steps in the dark. This whole system collapse thing is being orchestrated, as most of you should well know.

In "webbot style" here are a few word samplings from that pdf:

wild cards

strategic surprise

unconventional shocks

inevitable

THUNDERBOLT EVENTS

shock and surprise

high impact contingency events

strategic shocks

substantial escalation of recognized hazards

Black Swans


...and a few very telling phrases:

"strategic shocks....are very rapid ....unanticipated arrival at the natural end of a well-recognized and perilous trend line...OR earlier than expected arrival at a dangerous waypoint along that same trend line"



Another little something I found interesting is a line in the president's address to the nation:

"That miracle took place on Christmas night, 1776. George Washington planned a surprise attack on the enemy forces camped across the Delaware River in Trenton, New Jersey. Under the cover of darkness, he led a few thousand soldiers across the icy waters in the midst of a driving snowstorm "(Washington Times, Dec. 25, 2008)


The mention of surprise attack seems omnious to me. Do you think it could be a smirky hint?

Plan for the worst and hope for the best. Personally I feel that things may be bad next year but I don't see a total economic collapse or anything like that.

[Abyssal_Worm]

Predictions...Hmm, what kind of silliness can I sling at the world?


No serious problem for Obama out of the gate, though he will play a crucial role in a diplomatic effort to prevent the tension between India and Pakistan from getting worse.

One of the Big Three automakers will go bankrupt. I'll give you a hint: Its not going to be Ford.

Firearms ban will be implemented within first six months. High capacity magazines will be made illegal to sell. No weapon confiscation as the concept of forcibly taking weapons from armed citizens is potentially dangerous to say the least.

No draft, Martial Law, or NAU indoctrination will be implemented. Instead, the U.S. will look to strengthen itself by renewing diplomatic ties with other nations. Significant troop withdrawal from Iraq by summer, though most of the troops will be redeployed to Afghanistan. Iran will NOT be attacked by the U.S., but Israel will plead to the UN to take immediate action. Said plea will be acknowledged and taken under advisement. IAEA will return to Iran to inspect nuclear sites after the US and Iran open direct diplomatic relations.

Auto and new home sales will see their worst year in decades. Major community projects will be federally funded and initiated in an effort to bolster the workforce with job opportunities.

Much of the funding for Iraq will be diverted to domestic use. No tax rate increase as the Bush tax cuts do not expire until late in 2010. At present, there are not enough votes to support repealing such tax cuts, so the plan will be to wait and let the cuts expire.

Obama will be considered a hero for much of what goes right for the nation and Bush will be blamed for most of what does not go right. Major media outlets will run daily polls showing Obama's approval rating and how it compares to Bush on that date when he took office. Americans will not watch the news as new seasons of American Idol and Dancing With the Stars will keep the sheeple occupied.

Those of you who have been around a while have probably heard me say this before but I think that this year may be the one where things get set up for the invasion of American soil by foreign troops.

The economic collapse will spread world wide in a domino effect because everything was tied in to eachother for the implementation of the new world economic order. The bail outs will not work and after the bottom is reached there will be no recovery despite the best efforts.

There will be a lot of civilian unrest that terrorists will take advantage of to hit key strategic sites.

The US will be concentrating on its own domestic problems and this will open the door for Russia to get the US out the picture once and for all. There will be very little warning before they launch an invasion with the intention of taking control of the country and chopping it up into smaller countries that they will dominate as satellite states of their own as in colonies of Russia and China. The Japs will take the opportunity for a bit of pay back.

The US will loose much ground before settling into a stale mate situation and Canada will fall very fast, so much so they will not warrant much in the way of consideration from a strategic stand point.

The reduction of the polar ice cap has opened the door for Russia to do a short hop across the artic ocean to land all the armor and heavy artillery it needs to sustain a heavy invasion force.

If this has not actually happened by the end of the year it will be in plain sight as very probable for 2010.

[medicvet]

My predictions for 2009:

Major weather upheavals continue to the point where even the most dunderheaded will say it is because of global climate change.

There will be a computer virus attack that will render many computers essentially useless, making the purchase of many new computers essential. Companies that cannot figure this into their operating budget will fail. It will have effects similiar to the ones predicted by the Y2K bug.

There is a very good chance that there were be a full all out war between India and Pakistan.

Pirates will continue to plague the world, and one raid on pirates will seem to be successful but the impact and after effects of them will have long drawn out negative consequences.

The strait of Hormuz will be shut down, but the cause/source of it will be unexpected.

Venezuela will continue to forge stronger ties with Russia, and after Castro's death, there will be another leader who will be a strong communist.

Jerusulam will fall under attack and the streets will run with blood such as has not been seen since the fall of Jerusulam to the Muslims during the time of the crusades.

There will be a major scare of a new disease that has a high fatality rate, no known cure, and the big mystery is where it came from.

There will be another "jonestown" type event where many are killed, and the rest commit mass suicide.

That's enough bad news for now..and of course the economy will continue to tank, and the price of oil will again jump to over 4 dollars a gallon due to political events.

Yes you did BUT why not also link to it? That way we may have the chance to read the entire thing without searching for it?

If this site is true, what a fun year 2009 going to be.

2009 Predictions.

[Raptor Witness]

I had a dream the other night, that a police station inside a large U.S. city came under attack by brazen men in the streets who were wearing bandannas. I was surprised by the nerve of the gunmen, who shot out most of the windows in the multi story building on at least one side.

The reason this dream is interesting to me, is because it is not what I would of expected in my waking thoughts. This is a key indicator I look for to determine if a premonition is valid or just my mind drifting to this or that possibility. I remember being surprised inside my dream to what I was seeing, mostly because of the brazenness of the attack, which happened at night. I do not know for certain what city this was. I saw no blood or anyone hurt.
I simply saw most of the windows shot out, and the police under siege, at least at that moment in time.

Whether this is a real event that will take place, or a general condition arising from this or that circumstance, I'm not sure. The dream didn't specify many details. The keys are the bandannas the assailants were wearing, the fact that the police station was multi story and located in a big city, and the curious brazenness of the attack itself.

I would encourage law makers to immediately readjust how money is spent to preserve and protect, beefing up units that fight violent gang activity.

There should be an immediate shift in priority if you are to head off what is coming. The surprise was the brazenness of the attack, which suggests to me that you will be unprepared.

nice prediction.and very possible

[Mystery]

My predictions for 2009:

1. Something major occurring environmentally that will affect all of America in one sense or another.

2. Someone trying to keep Obama from office, but will fail.

3. The economic structure of US and world continue to down slide.

4. Many changes we will not be pleased with but will have no choice but to go along with anyway. Unless we want to live miserably.

5. An attack on civilians on US soil at a large magnitude, but not so large it is unmanageable.

[TNAfan121]

I predict.....that the Cubs will win the world series, followed by hell freezing over and flying mutant pigs.......

[acacia]

I tried to bring up the Armageddon board a little while ago and got a page with the message "account suspended".....

Maybe this is an omen.


So I am going to predict that in a time of real trouble or national emergency the internet will go down in...........

I think Year 2009 would be a Recovery Year for most of the nation as from the downfall last 2008. But it would be a regular year for some...

[Raptor Witness]

Although I've been told that I can't start a thread entitled "plagues" here, I don't see why I can't at least report on these, from elsewhere.

This won't be a good year, unless there are public calls to repentance by public officials ... worldwide.

[Posted Today at 04:49:39]

This thread will be dedicated to plagues for the year 2009.

Plagues are calls to repentance. If the state of confusion has any doubt that I lack the authority to ask for these, I suggest they study my writings from the previous year.

[A single woman's public faith] saved an entire city from repeat disaster in 2008. May this be true of the entire earth.

The ancient city of [Nineveh] doesn't begin with the number nine by accident. I will stretch out my hand this year and roar like a lion, until every nation hears my voice. Any nation that attempts to quiet me, shall suffer three times the fate of those who listen.

[Traveler]

For you guys who are into the numbers thing.

2+0+0+9= 11

2009 = 11

We are in the 911 year

I wonder who actually came up with that number as the emergency number as it seems so arbitory.

I think we only got eleven. No 9 at the computation.
