Okay, I'll give some prophecies... I figure I'm as good as any of the ones listed here (and, by the way, I'm a professional psychic (no, I'm not
kidding. I read Tarot, runes, do astrology charts, palmistry, and teach some meditation techniques.))
Prophecies according to Byrd:
Bush will continue to rattle his sabers as the world gets more and more disgusted with the US. His ratings will rise here at home, but our ability to
negotiate with other nations will fall lower and lower.
Osama will lie low for several years, as the US and other countries continue to chip away at his resources. His organization will try two more large
events but won't be successful. He dies before he turns 60.
In another 2 years, environmental concerns and the general neglect of them will start to turn into voter issues in the US. The rest of the world will
pressure us on signing the Kyoto treaty, but this won't happen until after Bush leaves office. Once he's gone, we make significant forward steps in
environmental issues.
Poor Pope John Paul's health will continue to decline. His heart is courageous, but the body can be pushed only so far. His decline and death will
be gradual enough so that the cardinals will have a "short list" of candidates when he dies and the transition will be smooth. The next Pope will
be somewhat more liberal and will help the church move toward acceptance of birth control and other issues that the laity have been screaming about
for years.
It will take at least a decade to restore Afghanistan to any sort of stability. Warlords will assasinate two more high-ranking officials in the next
three years, and Harmid Karzai will have another close call. When the multinational troops finally withdraw from the country, the warlords will be
back to their old tricks again and the situation will get out of control (again) until a warlord arises who basically kills or cuts the power of
everyone else. And we're back to the Taliban type situation again.
The Middle East (and Israel/Palestine) continues as it is right now. The Temple wall will become an issue of concern as it bulges further and
eventually collapses. This triggers hysteria but nothing other than that.
Al Qaida cells become more active and Indonesia becomes the next center of global terrorism.
Oh... and the next 2 presidential terms will be filled with bumbling. By the 2012 election, the tide will be swinging toward more liberal views.
Then we get a DIFFERENT kind of bumbling.
The shrieks and squabbles over the EU will calm down in the next 5 years and more countries will be joining in the next 10 years. The EU as a market
force becomes stronger than Japan (which will continue to struggle) and the US (the "recession that really isn't happening" will continue
throughout the Bush administration.
I could put that in terms of mystic symbols, if you like... but there's some prophecies for ya.
...and you don't have to join any particular faith to believe in them.
