John Titormight be a really ingenius perceptive guy too. If his specific predictions come true, Ill believe it. But even not, ill give him points for perception. he is capable of recogonizing keylogs, prime actions, ect in the whole continum of world politics. If anyone really watches and looks for undercurrents, which basically are what move the boat, one can see where the boat is going.
There are undercurrents everywhere pointing to major directions where people are heading. I have often studied the undercurerents, which are the most powerful, and never touched in the news, and watched as they went.
I could see from the 1990s the slow move towards whipping up public panic and hysteria about everything from cultists, gangbangers, terrorists, ect. Thus, the gestapo is a soon to become reality is full force. Just make the public afraid, develop enemies everywhere, where no one is trusted.
Add to this the illusion, the frightening house of cards, the US economy rests upon, the shakiness, and the continued path of the economy on the orad to suicide....the apathy of people, the increase in scandals, the slow decline of life in America...and the unsown un tested fertile fields of Eastern Europe, with a highly educated population just waiting for the fertilizer and water.........
Anyway, have a good rest, hopefully, more contributors will hit this thread by tommorow, with more insight, this is a fascinating thread!

My predictions? Mind you, Im no prohet or psychic. I am simply stating what I think is the most likely scenario, given the current tides of events.
1. Economic chaos in the US. This is a no brainer. We continue to lsoe jobs, the stock market is shaky, our national debt is monstrous. Inflation slowly creeping up. This dead spell in our economy has lasted almost 4 years with no signs of improvement.
2. OPEC will go with the Euro. This will further throw us into a spiral. The US can rattle the saber and threaten whoever it likes, but the sentiment against it is so powerful, it cannot defeat all its enemies.
3. The Iraq war will escelate, continue to grow in power, more people will die. I say, about 8 years we will be in Iraq. During that time, the whole middle east will slowly build up its resources and pool the together for stronger, larger scale resistance. Perhaps....even an actual war.
4.With the collapse of a wealthy US state, the US will no longer be able to fund Israel. Israel, without a sugar daddy, will have toi find another. Russia and China would be thier prime goals, but the question is, would they do it? Unlikely. Thus, without US backing and protection, Israel becomes vulnerable. The UN will now have no barrier to enforcing its resolutions. Israel gets occupied by the UN.
5. Civil war in the US. At the very least, anarchy and chaos. Outside the US Europe sees an opportunity, and tries to get involved. They suffer servely, and the EU stands oin shaky ground economically.
6. The Slavic bloc will be formed. After years of struglling and being taken for granted, eastern Europe finally gets the engine started. A New Union of former soviet bloc countries is formed. The create a frightening economic and military powerhouse. A new contender with china for the world champ belt.
7. Us tore up like third world nation. Poverty, crime everywhere. Police state tactics where they can use them. But citizens themselves attack back. a never ending war.
8. Tensions between Russia and western Europe build up. NATO is long gone, EU has new army now. But Eastern bloc growing larger and larger. They are no longer communist, they are socialist with free enterprise. New tensions and hostilites flare up, eventuall another European war is started. China to possible get involved, maybe on the side of EU, because of old hostilites with Russia.
9.African population now almost devastated by disease and wars. Africa continues to be ignored, until resources begin to run out.
10. The rise of an Asian super bloc to balance the Eastern and EU blocs. Thus, three major superpowers emerge.
Theres alot more I would throw in, but they are small. Needless to say, as you can see, America will NOT be a super power. We will not have much involvement or impact on the world. My tiem frame is about 30 years.
I see Europe as collapsing as well, and not being a super power itself. but overshadowed and basically a satelite of the mighty eastern Bloc. Little interest in America really will be held by the world, we will be a footnote in history. The rise of the super blocs will lead to world war, a massive devastating war. OPEC will aslo rise, the islamic nations will form thier own bloc and wage thier final jihad. Israel will get destroyed. and thus you have it: world war 3.
Whgat will happen after that is anyones guess really. Hopefully, it will change how people think!

Hmm...
Sounds like something out of a Tom Clancy novel. Russia striking with no provacation, just to regain power? Errghh, some of those russians are crooked, but I don't think they would do that.

Russie wont attack America. Not anymore. Well there is a slim possibility and that is that a new president comes and he desides to attack everything in the name of terrorism and decides that US is a terroriststate and then nuke them...but common do anyone really belive they would nuke US??? Then what..they dont all the military they need to pull something big like that off. It will take many years before the Russians have a decent military like thay used to have and you will see that come...

John Titors theories are deeply interesting but if you read it carefully you will see that he is from a different timeline than ours, thats not to say its massively different, but with his presence in this time line and our disscusssion of these events I think this changes a few things. That is if he is genuine.
As for a Russian or chinese invasion of the Us, well you could say, what would that achieve if US was tearing itself apart. Russians arrent murderous killers bent on world domination, plus any technology you have you can bet the russians know about and have better. Look at the soykuz jet.
With regards to Human Cost for the Russians, well lets face it they won WWII, it may come as shock to some americans; but 32 million dead and an amazing tank say alot. the way they turned their economy around whilst being invaded was amazing. I know I contradict myself slightly but i am trying to find a a balance.
I dont want to seem anti US but to hear you all feeling frightened about your government, its your media i would fear more, making you feel like the walls are coming in, sensationlising everything, anyone that has seen mike moores 'bowling for colombine' will know what i mean. Please take a step back, you should be proud you are american, as i am being british but you have got to get some persepctive.
Rant over.
Dont hate me, but I hate to see people being misguided.

Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
