Hello ATSer’s,
This thread was created as a response to a recently written article about global predictions between 2010 -2012 written by Natural News Editor, Mike
Adams.
Mike Adams has a successful track record of predicting many large-scale events years before they happen. As published on NaturalNews, his predictions
for 2009 clocked in at 79% accuracy
www.naturalnews.com.... He’s on
the record calling the 2007 housing crash a full two years before it took place
www.naturalnews.com..., and those that have been following the site for several
years know that he openly warned people about the dot-com crash two years before it happened as well.
Here’s his predictions about what we might expect to see in the coming months and years. The original website source requires membership in order to
view the entire article, however here it is in it’s complete form for readability and certainly to no chagrin of Mike Adam, Health Ranger.
What do you make of these predictions and the possibilities?
----------------
Ask around and you'll hear this over and over again: People are concerned about what might be coming. They're concerned about a global financial
collapse, an ecological crisis and potential disruptions in the food supply. The radical weather patterns now being witnessed across the world are
further indication that something's wrong with the world we thought we knew.
But what's really going to happen between now and 2012? Is there any way to take an educated guess about which challenges are most likely to
appear?
That's what I've done here in this collection of thirty-six predictions for 2010 - 2012. So here's what I see coming in 2010 - 2012. This is based
on "educated guesses" about where current trends may lead us. This is not some sort of psychic prediction exercise; it's based entirely on
observation and forward thinking.
By the way, if these predictions seem too pessimistic, be sure to read the bottom of this article which talks about the upside of what will happen
after these next few years. Ultimately, there is good news ahead...
#1 - Worldwide shortage of rare earth metals
The world depends on Rare Earth Metals (REMs) to manufacture everything from electric motors to solar panels and computer parts. Expect a global
shortage to hit hard over the next three years.
#2 - Food supply disruptions hit western nations
There will be one or more serious disruptions in the food supply that will wake up Americans to the possibility that their food may not be as secure
or plentiful as they had imagined. While this could take the form of a crop disease that spreads across corn or wheat farms, it's more likely to
involve radical weather patterns that destroy crops and limit food supply.
#3 - Deadly superbug mutation goes wild
A deadly superbug will escape the hospital and get into the "wild" -- meaning it starts to infect everyday people, perhaps being transmitted through
gyms or schools. A review of what led to the escape will point to abuse of antibiotics and failure of hospital staff to wash their hands.
#4 - New evidence links vaccines and neurological disorders
New evidence will emerge linking vaccines to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. This evidence may point to the chemical adjuvants
used in vaccines which cause an inflammatory response in the body. The vaccine industry, of course, will deny any such link, but evidence will mount
that points to the link.
#5 - U.S. power grid suffers catastrophic failure
At some point over the next three years, the U.S. power grid will suffer a catastrophic regional failure that puts tens of millions of people in the
dark. The power grid is a fragile system just waiting to be brought down by cascading failures. It will be repaired relatively quickly (perhaps in 72
hours), but its failure will leave many people on edge and cause a rush of business at preparedness retailers.
#6 - Satellite breakdown
There will be a huge failure in one or more key communications satellites, causing widespread disruptions in telecomm services, including those
serving emergency and law enforcement organizations. Likely causes: Space debris, solar flares or deliberate targeting by land-to-space rockets.
(China may even begin to shoot down U.S. satellites if a military confrontation breaks out, see below...)
#7 - GM crop contamination leads to crisis
Somewhere in North America, the contamination of crops with genetically modified DNA or seeds will flare into a crop crisis (and perhaps even crop
failures). Tensions between affected farmers and seed corporations like Monsanto will escalate, and new public attention will be drawn to the problem
of GM crops. (As a side note, new evidence will also emerge linking GM foods to internal organ damage in laboratory animals...)
#8 - Honeybee population collapse spreads to other species
The Colony Collapse Disorder now striking honeybee populations will not only get worse in honeybees; it will also spread to other species including
amphibians. Bird watchers will record an alarming decline in bird populations throughout North America, and scientists will note a disturbing trend in
the loss of species diversity in many areas.
#9 - Weather patterns become increasingly radicalized
Expect to see more flood, more earthquakes, more droughts, more heat waves and more cold spells as the world's weather patterns show increasing
destabilization. Droughts will come to areas that typically see plenty of water, and too much water will appear in areas that are normally more arid.
Many humans will be displaced and property damage will rise into the tens of billions of dollars. (Note, I wrote this prediction in early January,
well before the recent snow storms hammered the East Coast. But there will still be many more radical weather events...)
#10 - Nuclear power sees global resurgence
The need for cheap, non-fossil power will drive more countries to embrace nuclear power as the "clean" energy source of the near future. Expect to
see more nuclear power plants approved for construction. (Actually completing the construction can take a decade or more, however.)
