I do not think 2015 will be a very good year. Paul Craig Roberts recently said America is on the brink of economic collapse and war. I am less fearful of nuclear war than he is primarily because the war efforts of those who aligned themselves with Israel, the Security-Military Complex and Wall Street have not been successful of late against Vladimir Putin and Russia. I agree that Wall Street would love to have a war to let the voters blame the Russians for the economic woes which the Bankers actually created.
I do disagree with Dr Roberts on the nature of World War III these Neocons seemed determined to launch. I realized when I was still in high school that a Thermonuclear war was something the Uber Rich just used to keep the middle class in line through fear and intimidation. The elite do not like Hydrogen bombs because they killed wealthy people. No. The preferred method of killing people was starvation because that only killed the poor. Nuclear weapons are bad because they kill rich people. What good are the poor anyway because they do not pay taxes in any appreciable amount? Another method of killing people in large numbers without destroying property values would be to release a series of plagues. Only a select few would get the vaccines that worked.
My other point about war is that the US military has intervened to stop World War III during both during the Bush and Obama administrations. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey, had to go to the White House before midnight to inform Mr Obama that the decision someone made for him to bomb Syria was null and void. The US military was not going to full scale war against Syria and possibly Iran and Russia over the lies his NSA advisers and the State Department had been telling about the Syrian government having used chemical weapons against its own people. Obama’s National Security advisers are ‘Soft Power’ advocates who have no combat experience. They use riots like the Arab Spring and the Kiev demonstrations to overthrow regimes like Egypt and the Ukraine. They also used proxy armies in Libya and Syria.
My first Interactive Prediction for 2015 is that there will be no nuclear war in 2015. The US military will not allow it. Interactive means that I want predictions from readers. I intend to publish a final predictions columns that will include reader feedback.
It is true that the Kiev regime has ordered more men to report for conscripted service. They have drawn up plans to build a cemetery for 250,000 Ukrainian soldiers. But Vladimir Putin is offering very good terms on natural gas for the Kiev regime. He is offering them a way out from their bleak economic future. The European Union can only offer that they become another Greece but with war.
Please feel free to comment on each listed prediction. Please do not write 20 pages. Please do not share what you learned in Sunday School about the end of the world. I will examine all of the predictions deleting only the ones who advocate violence or are a waste of time.
My second Interactive Prediction for 2015 is one that I have been making every year for a very long time. The US will not attack Iran.
America could not survive the Iranian response. As I have said before, they have long rang rocket artillery that can hit an aircraft carrier 130 miles away with 1,300 pound warheads. They also have lots of anti-ship missiles and lots of Mach 3 missiles capable of hitting the US Persian Gulf fleet and all American military bases in the Arab Gulf states. They can also hit all US military bases in Afghanistan and Iraq. They could sink the US Persian Gulf fleet. Iran, Syria and Hezbollah have more than 150,000 missiles they can fire at Israel if there is a an attack against Iran. Hezbollah has the ability to shut down Israel’s electric power grid for 6 months.
Israel is not likely to attack Iran. Iran is an ally of Russia, China and Pakistan through the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization.) Netanyahu is willing to fight to the last American but he is not crazy enough to go it alone.
My Third, Fourth and Fifth Interactive predictions involve the economy.
Dr Roberts thinks the economy could go off the Deep End very soon. He is hopeful that when we enter the severe phase of this current Depression that people could rise up and force some change. He does share my bleak view of both political parties. That $1.1 trillion spending bill recently passed will allow banks to pass their speculative losses in derivatives onto the FDIC so taxpayers can pay for the greed and stupidity of the Bankers to the tune of $303 trillion. Those are nonsense numbers. The current regime is too corrupt to offer a solution. This leads me to believe that the Dollar will Die and collapse but do not guarantee this will happen next year.
My Third Interactive prediction is that the DOW Jones Industrial Index will drop at least 20% at some point in 2015. Eventually, it will drop 60% but we cannot be certain that it will do so within 12 months.
My Fourth Interactive prediction is that gold will reach $1,900 an ounce in 2015.
And my Fifth is that silver will reach $30 an ounce at some point in 2015.
I have said before that every five years the IMF allows nations to come forward to have their currencies considered to become part of their SDR basket of currencies. That will require the applying nations to open their gold bullion vaults to international inspection. If China does for IMF SDR status and they have as much gold as I think they have, then gold could surge well past $1,900 an ounce.
As I said, I would encourage you to make specific predictions for 2015. I am thinking of publishing a Final version of this which would include reader input.
Some futurists have predicted that America will be in such disarray that there will be no elections in 2016. That could happen.
The unemployment and inflation numbers from official American government sources are not reliable. If we use Dr John Williams’ figures from Shadow Stats, then I would feel free to make the following predictions.
My Sixth Interactive prediction is that unemployment will go from the current 23% to at least 26% in 2015.
My Seventh prediction is that inflation as defined by Dr Williams could reach 10%. I am 50% certain of that. I agree with Dr Williams that inflation will not spike sharply upwards until the dollar is devalued. At that point, America will go into Hyperinflation if there is no Debt Cancellation combined with currency and bank reform. None of those reforms are possible until Bankers are arrested and their assets seized.
The Japanese people just voted back into power a government that has a ‘comic book’ like economic plan. They are printing money like mad. They have saved the US stock market. Men borrow money by the billions and buy stocks that are already over priced on the New York Stock Exchange. This pushes prices even higher. They pay back their loans in Tokyo with cheaper yen. This gives them two profits for the time being. But as I said, I expect a 20% stock market decline next year.
America will have no elections in 2015 but Great Britain will. I do not like any of the British parties. I do not see any reason why they need a European Union that just takes away freedoms, raises taxes and adds to the regulatory burden. I hope UKIP which opposes the EU does better. I expect the Liberal Democrats to lose half their seats. I do not expect Labour to make a come back until they get rid of Ed Milliband. The two keys to the UK elections will be the number of volunteers who show up to do the election work and the status of the British economy on election day.
Depressions are periods in time when Unpayable Debts are cancelled en masse. Since the UK has more Unpayable Debts to cancel than anyone else does, they will be hit really hard. But that might not be until after the elections.
My eighth prediction is that the FBI 2015 survey of gang memberships will reveal a projected 2 million members by the end of the year. The FBI will be asked to tone down that report because there is a psychological barrier to admitting that the streets of your nation belong to foreign born thugs who have Death Lists of honest cops who must die. What I am saying is that the FBI might release a report saying there are 1.9 million gang members in the US but not include prison gangs. Or they might release the report in the earlier part of the year but include a 200,000 a year projected annual growth which would take it to the 2 million mark by the end of 2015. This is an 85% certainty. This depends a lot on immigration.
My ninth prediction is that President Assad of Syria will hang on for another year. People are finally beginning to figure out that there never were any moderate rebels in Syria. And Obama and the media lied about chemical weapons. They worked along side the people who killed 100,000 Syrian Christians and 200,000 secular Muslims.
This work is not complete until your predictions are added. You might either offer alternative predictions like for the price of gold or the unemployment rate. Or you might want to make a prediction for the UK elections or the expulsion of Greece from the EU. You might predict which major cities in the US will go bankrupt. Unfortunately, none of the Greek political parties understand money, Depressions, Debt Cancellation and usury so I see nothing good for Greece anytime soon. The UK by contrast has had debates on the creation of money in their parliament. That would never happen here.
The movie San Andreas will be released on May 29, 2015. It is about a Big Earthquake in southern California. I cannot say when the Big One hits southern California. I do not expect a series of quakes along the New Madrid fault zone until after the California one has destroyed that state. California has a lot of quake fault zones other than the San Andreas so it could have two major quakes within hours of each other.
A warning. If the US starts a vaccination program in Central America and Mexico as they did in West Africa just before the Ebola crisis, then you know that the End is Nigh.

Hi long admired all you say and think you are right most of the time, BUT in relation to American Navy vulnerability in the middle east have you seen this?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2868925/US-Navy-reveals-boat-mounted-laser-shoot-drones-boats-doubles-hubble-water-laser-surveillance-use.html
I saw it. It cannot stop an incoming 1,300 warhead fired from rocket artillery a hundred miles away.
The Iranians will overwhelm our defenses with dozens of incoming missiles fired from different directions.
They have drones that can fore missiles. They will fire missiles from hundreds of fast boats, from old sea planes, from modern aircraft, from helicopters from attack boats and from land units. They have 20 submarines that can fire super fast Russian torpedoes. The US Navy will be gone in 60 seconds. The US can retaliate with nuclear weapons. But the Dollar will Die. Hyperinflation will rip America apart. We will have Nationwide Food Riots and maybe Race Riots. But Tehran will be gone.
Not a fair trade. The US military will say No to crazy ideas like ‘Let’s attack Iran.’

The Wall Street and Federal Reserve thieves are prepping for a BIG Crash. First the corrupt Congress gutted part of the Dodd-Frank act, giving the FDIC deposit insurance to the banks when they fail instead of using it for the purpose it was designed; to compensate bank customers when their bank goes belly up.
And the Group of 20 have signed off on ‘bail-ins’ for their banks. When the next major crash hits and that is only a matter of time, the banks will be able to legally steal our money in our checking and savings accounts, and give us shares of bank stock in return. Just don’t try and use the shares to buy food or pay bills, since they’ll be worthless, but they’ll look pretty!
Maybe this next economic crash will finally make Americans realize that they should of been paying attention to what their government is doing instead of gossiping about Kim K or last night’s big football/basketball/soccer/baseball/NASCAR race, but don’t count on it.
Our stupidity is legendary.
Yep…when more Americans give a crap about the Tom Brady-Peyton Manning dog and pony show than their own well-being, I’d say it’s about time to give up on the American people. Honestly I have given up trying to understand just what it’s gonna take…I mean, do these folks need chains around their ankles, or what?
Pingback: Vidrebel Goes Interactive: Predictions for 2015. | From the Trenches World Report
1.I think it is safe to predict that civilization will continue to decline, political correctness and statism will continue to proliferate, infantilism and savagery will grow stronger.
2.There will be no popular awakening, no revolution to restore anything worthwhile, although riots and demands and Islamic and immigrant savagery will increase and become more arrogant as they see the weakness of their opponents.
3.The rich will continue to get richer and believe their own lies, although they will have less effect on a few of the disenchanted (who of course will continue to lack influence).
4.Ukraine will be revealed as a bankrupt failed state, possibly after another heavy defeat if they attack the eastern rebels again, and possibly with one or more coups of rotating puppets and crazies.
5. Despite much bluster, Europe and the USA will continue to weaken in every way, whilst China and Russia slowly become stronger. Gradually, over the next couple of decades, the world system will come to revolve around them, leaving Europe and USA as minor peripheral areas of little power or interest in the world and by then inhabited mainly by former denizens of the Third World; ‘Africa North’ and ‘Mexico North’.
6. If there is a sudden economic downturn, Europe and the USA will suffer most and recover least.
7. Labour will probably win a small majority in the British general election, or be the largest party and attempt to rule in unstable coalition with minor parties.
8. UKIP will attract a lot of votes and media hostility, but win few seats; although they will probably cause a loss of several Conservative seats to Labour, and frighten Labour by reducing their majorities in some previously safe seats.
9. Britain will remain in the EU.
10. The Euro will weaken further and Greece may fall out of it.
11. Despite much bluster and vast expense the American military will increasingly be revealed as a naked emperor unable to do more than bully the weak; but they will probably avoid a war with Iran or even Syria as the result would be embarrassingly ‘revealing’. Fancy new military technology that actually works will increasingly be Russian and Chinese rather than American.
12. Cold weather will kill the Global Warming scam, except for the hard core of true believers.
Dollar will strengthen (deflation) as bond bubble bursts and gov’t seeks funds. Also, money will move into us stock market as cash flees bank bail-ins and bankrupt govt bonds. Many companies will also chapter 11, even with stocks at all time highs. Gold will continue down as miners go BK. Gold goes up when bond contagion becomes obvious toward 4th qtr. Beyond 2015, dollar dies, loses reserve and then hyperinflation comes.
The missing element in your scenario are those derivatives that go belly up due to the declining price of oil. And as the dollar strengthens, it is harming those Third World nations with dollar denominated loans. Putin has announced that their alternative to the SWIFT payment system will not open until May.
I am following the Greek elections. They have pro EU idiots running all the major parties. They also stuff ballot boxes. In the UK I see Lib-Dems going down. SNP going way up. I see UKIP going up. This will make for an interesting coalition government. Labour will not do well with Ed Milliband as leader. They need someone else.
I usually agree with you VidReb but when you say the rich will not use nukes because it’ll hurt themselves, I disagree, because the criminal psychopathic elites already have underground bunkers installed (and I mean waaaayyyy underground, about halfway through the Earth’s crust, 100’s of miles underground and about the only way they can be taken out is with very very powerful earthquakes, the kind spoken of in the Book of Revelation). Either that or they do an “Elysium” scenario…which I now think is far more likely (though I know little about what’s happening in outer space). With all the Fukushima radiation they won’t consider living within the oceans (like in that James Bond movie). In other words, the criminal psychopathic elites not only do not care about the people of Earth, but they do not care about the Earth, period–and ultimately, they don’t even care about their fellow criminal psychopathic elites either! After all, psychopaths are incapable of caring.
Their underground bunkers are not that deep.
The US military has said No to war under Bush and Obama because in your scenario they would not survive.
I think they would prefer to release plagues in Central America and Mexico with 21 day incubation periods so people coming across the border do not show symptoms.
There is a threat of use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, at least suggests a provocation against Russia during the offensive in the Donbass. Presumably – the first half of January. As for Obama. Impeachment would lead to destabilization. I noticed a change in rhetoric against Obama in the Russian media. About him or do not speak or speak well, we compare this attitude with the attitude of the deceased person. The crisis in the US? Do not have the means to stop this painful or destructive process? United States is now very similar to the USSR before the collapse. I sympathize with the Americans, I know for myself how hard it is. I do not want anyone to go through what we have experienced in the 90s.
Well horse, as a regular reader of your work I will add my 2 cent prediction: I predict for 2015 that for the most part, we will see a status quo. I don’t see any sheeple changing their tune or mind. I don’t think that they are either cognizant of our situation or if so, don’t care. This may sound depressing but it is my daily observation of peops or shall I say sheeps. If one even attempts a conversation addressing the numerous issues facing us, one is looked at as if one is insane. So how to reach the masses??? I have asked this question many times before???
If, however, something radical happens as in another major false flag event or let’s say a staged provocation, benefits cut off en masse, dollar crashes etc along the same genre, then all bets are off.
Zero Hedge is reporting a liquidity crisis. French and other European banks having problems. Some banks cut Russian enterprises off from credit as ruble plunges. But The Russians have over $100 billion in Treasury bonds. The Chinese have $1.25 trillion. They can get funding.
They can spend a small part of that to drive up the price of silver and gold.
In the UK in 2015 I predict that the government will continue its planned privatisation of unemployment with the goal of shutting down all government manned Job Centres. In October this year anyone unemployed for over 3 years has been made to go back to the private providers of the “Work Programme” in order to do a full day’s job search in front of private company employees (the trial started in October and ends in January. If successful it will be rolled out nationwide). If a benefit claimant fails to attend these all day sessions or is deemed not to be looking for work according to the opinion of a private company employee, they are “sanctioned” by the Department of Work and Pensions (i.e no benefits at all for between 4 weeks and 3 years). This is an extension to the 2 years that an unemployed person has already been forced to attend the Work Programme, under threat of a benefit sanction and has come out the other side with no job. (The private provider Work Progamme failure rate in helping people find work is 87%).
The worst part of this is unemployed people are sanctioned via a decision made by people with no empathy whatsoever for the unemployed and these sanctions have also been enacted against people who work part time and claim “top up” benefits (I know this because it happened to my partner, who works part time as a Teacher, for the spurious reason of going to work instead of attending a government mandated appointment). The punishment of those in part time work who have been unable to find full time work or to gain more hours in their present job is to be extended in 2015 to everyone who works part time and claims any sort of benefit at all (such as help with their rent, which goes straight to rich landlords).
Four weeks without money is a back door route to starvation and debt. An insulin dependent claimant died this year due to having no food in his fridge and no means to keep his insulin cool in said fridge (he had a couple of pounds in the bank when he died). Many hundreds have died, most of whom have committed suicide under this “sanction” regime since it was implemented in 2012 (which the UK government has covered up, most particularly the deaths of the disabled and those with mental health problems). If the UK leaves the EU it will be so they can avoid prosecution for their illegal sanction regime under the Human Rights Act. These are not “work shy” people, they are people struggling with the economic downturn caused directly by usurious bankers and who are punished not because they are lazy, but because there are no jobs to be found, with hundreds of people applying for every low paid job advertised.
In November this year everyone who claims unemployment benefit now signs electronically (via a pad) once again showing that the government can close Job Centres down as they will no longer be needed for signing on purposes. This is why I predict that unemployment will be fully privatised, with for profit companies falling over themselves to take on the contracts, which will enable the UK government to switch from Job Centres manned by government employees, to offices manned by private employees of for profit companies. “Signing on” will switch to these private providers of the “Work Programme” if their “daily job search” test is successful, which I predict it will be (even if half of those who attended were thrown off benefits for spurious reasons).
Sorry that my prediction is so long but background information needed to be given.
OK. any election predictions. How about a hung parliament. No majority? Coalition does not last long?
I think it’s too early to say but the PTB appear to want Ed Milliband as the next PM but he’s not very popular so they may do a bait and switch with his brother, David, who has recently hinted at a return to politics in order to “support” Ed in his election bid for PM. The Millibands both have Marxist roots and are full Tribe members. As for UKIP, they might get more seats but they are still too controversial with the general public to take a majority in the House. If one or the other of the Millibands secures No 10 Israel will be very pleased with that.
Neither Milliband will be good for Labour. I thought they would find someone else. I think Lib-Dems will crash. From what I understand UKIP had at least 8 Tory MPs who will switch and stand for UKIP. That is why I think the next government will have trouble keeping a coalition government together. I predict the British economy will get a lot worse. A Depression is a period in time when Unpayable Debts are cancelled en masse. You need worldwide Debt Cancellation. You also need to have a debt free currency. See www. PositiveMoney.org .
Here is an off topic question that has been bugging the hell out of me: can you please explain in simple terms what 3D printing technology encompasses? How can a dog get prosthetic legs from a 3D printer for example as seen on Yahoo? How can you manufacture a part for a space station vehicle? Thanks in advance for your reply.
You can make guns, houses, human limbs and other things.
http://3dprinting.com/what-is-3d-printing/
They add layers upon layers. They use materials from plastic to chrome to cement (for houses in China.)
You need a computer file to tell the 3-D copier what you want made.
How can it manufacture these physical objects? It’s not connected to a cement plant, it’s not connected to a plastics source. Does it manufacture via alchemy? I am no science major, but I am interested in science. This really has me baffled about how these items can be manufactured out of supposedly thin air??? Can you give me a rational explanation for this process?
Follow the link above.
The 3 D copier can use plastic, chrome and even cement to make something by layering.
Ok I did. I don’t understand the logic behind it. if you build a house from the foundation up with concrete, rebar, etc that you order from the supplier, they deliver the materials and then labor comes in and starts the assembly process.This house building process generally takes about 8+ months which is the typical for this industry. Unless you get some pos builder that slams this together for a quick profit. How do you manufacture a cement/cinder block from a 3d printer?
