Looking at Last Years Predictions
I uncover 2023's predictions and see how they have blossmed or floundered
I have taken out the baggage of last year and am going to look at my predictions and see if they have life, or died where they were written. Ny next column will show this year’s predictions….
I of course wrote a disclaimer at the end. Here’s what it looked like.
Those are my top ten predictions for this year. Timing might end up pushing some of them into 2024- 2025, but most of this will potentially rule our minds.
This in no way is to gloat but just to point out that the world is really not that hard to predict. The predictions were not in any general order, so I will fire away and discuss each one.
Let’s focus on predictions for 2023. Some good, and some that may become problems.
1. New World Order Starts to Take Over.
Our government in all of its branches will continue to move forward with the New World Order of Globalism. They group with Europe and other nations. They will squash any threat to its progression and will push us towards some of the other predictions on this list. The elites outside of a couple rebels will continue to stay on board with this totalitarianism as they will gain even more power and stature. It will continue to be hidden in stealth mode. No one in the government will agree to the actual progression and will call anyone proposing these ideas conspiracy theorists. But nonetheless it will continue, and sometime in the next 5 years or less it will be fully implemented. We end up with a digital dollar, and a world currency to back it. Backlash from the BRICKS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) coalition will most likely lead to a world war in the coming years. Although that world war may be fought at first in the fields of economics.
Gotta say, nailed this one. From the beginning of the year we saw the government overstep its boundaries and become politically motivated. I can mention the numerous attacks and prosecutions of anyone with power and an R next to their name. But the Big Kahuna Trump was the most attacked as he has charges against him from at least 4 different parts of the country. The Davos group and Climate Hucksters took their pedestals when they could, all jockeying for future power. As the year progressed we heard more and more the reasons that America just wasn’t going to work and we needed to change to something like Europe or dare we say New World Order. Most Democrats quietly will tell you they see all of this also, but alas will still vote Blue. Prediction rating: 8 out of 10
2. World Recession/Depression
The signs are all there. They have been for awhile. Our government tries to ignore or sugar coat it, but the globe will go into depression or recession. The reason I talk of the two differences is that some of the world's nations can handle disparity easier than others. For instance in the U.S. we will be able to weather the coming storm because of our economic power. Yes it is dwindling, but still a juggernaut. Meanwhile poorer nations near the bottom of the world’s structure will be crushed. Famine, homelessness, and poverty will become rampant in these places. These countries will be forced to take sides to survive. NWO or the BRICKS will be the only choices. This will push the two sides to different corners and further destroy the hope of compromise.
We have been hanging on as the big powers usually do when faced with consequences of a looming economic downturn. But the people know what is going on, they can see it in their work checks, their grocery bills, their electric bills. Taking sides became a big theme in the later part of the year as some people became aware of the BRICS. Most people still have not even heard of the BRICS. Their power will be on full display soon. Prediction rating: 6 out of 10
3. Government Control Revealed
More and more the powers of our government to control you will come to the forefront this year. But even armed with that knowledge, it will not be stopped. Many of you will be outraged and frustrated. But, people with power tend to grasp more and more strength in an urge to never let it go. This in a nutshell is the history of our world. Man gains power and money and will not cease until a stronger opponent takes it away. Currently there is no entity able to stop the insanity.
Even mainstream media is starting to sound the alarm about big brother watching us and how that road leads to controlling us. Most of us now know this but are incapable of doing anything about it. Truthfully no matter the party in power this will continue, thus, your liberties will slowly erode away. Prediction rating: 10 out of 10
4. Tons of Executive Orders
Now that the Republicans barely resettled control of the house from the Democrats. Powers of the DNC are slowed. Basically a lot of grid lock will occur. But the Democrats will not stop as the President will again start to flood us with Executive Orders. Oh, at first POTUS will make the appearance of working with the other side. But, when needed he will use the power of the pen. That will increase as the year goes on and as we head towards the next election process. This then will be bludgeoned over the heads of the GOP by the mainstream media. They will name Republicans as obstructionists. In the end it will further push the nation towards the hopes and dreams of the political elite class.
The main focus hear of grid-lock has been dead on correct. While President Biden did not wield the power of the pen as much as I thought. He did use it when he thought politically it would shore up his base. Prediction rating: 5 out of 10
5. Europe Climate Ruins
The climate crazy European Union is dragging itself into an easily seen abyss. Jumping off the high dive into an empty pool, usually ends up poorly. This is what they have decided to do. Taking power and trying to make it become green power long before the capabilities are there will push them to the brink of collapse soon. Blackouts or green outs if you like are becoming commonplace and held from prying eyes. Crops this year will not be planted in the name of climate. People around the world who count on food and energy from Europe will struggle mightily because of their actions. Solar and wind ideas are great but unsustainable currently. So instead of taking it slower they are now going to pay the price of rushing into it head first.
Blackouts, brownouts, and power problems have plagued Europe the last 12 months, but, nothing but a whisper from our media about it has been heard. Why? Well you can’t let the American suckers in on the failures because they will reject it. The money spigot might stop if that happens. I want solar and wind to work. But, it currently still is not capable. Prediction rating: 8 out of 10.
6. Russia Ukraine War
Throughout time stronger foes have tried to take over weaker ones. If the United States and in a small sense Europe continue with funds and supplies for Ukraine the war will drag out probably into 2024. If they pull funds it will be a Russian win as they will take over large swaths of Ukraine. The last option is an all out war with Russia. This seems unattainable and unacceptable to most of us. The outcome of all out war probably leads to world war. Thus, I believe we will continue to support them for now. Later this year Europe will begin to withdraw help as they will be struggling with their own self inflicted pains. That will leave just the U.S. to help with a coming election in 2024 and a country tired of a proxy war. So, Ukraine barring a coup in Moscow, or the death of Putin will continue to fester and drag on.
Sometimes this is like shooting fish in a barrel. As they year went on grumblings from almost every European nation about paying and helping a losing cause began in earnest. People here in the States have grown weary also. Europe is paying less and we have slowed our help. I had an article just as the war started that was called “War Percentages”(March 2022). In it I outlined how the most likely outcome of the war would be a nasty slog with Russia winning out and unfortunately many dead. That is the exact path that this conflict has taken. Prediction rating: 10 out of 10
7. China and Taiwan
The Chinese government and Xi have stated what they want and are willing to do what is needed to get it. Taiwan wants to stay as they are and not to become a Chinese subsidiary. It is a strong possibility this year that China takes steps to pull Taiwan into its reigns. First with sanctions, then a blockade of the country. This will lead to tensions with the United States. But U.S. power is not as strong as many of us have been led to believe. We have bases in the Eastern Asian region. But, geography in the form of the Pacific ocean makes it hard to do the enforcement it would take to stop the Chinese. China is getting more powerful militarily. The United States is getting weaker and has its nose poked into other areas of the globe currently. With America being distracted the time looks to be soon to strike. We may only saber rattle to stop it.
This one is pretty spot on also. The latest election in Taiwan has moved up the timeframe for all out war because the new leader is not a pro China hawk. Plus, China knows they have a weak leader in office in the U. S. currently. Before the United States can make changes next year after the elections China may strike while they can. In a few of my articles I wrote about how I prayed for China and Taiwan to hash it out and keep from killing so many in an all out war. I also talked about the best time to strike being in April and November when the seas in the Taiwan Straight where the best for an amphibious landing. Well April is only 3 months away and Biden is still in the White House. Add in conflicts firing up all around the globe and you have a recipe for “Boom goes the dynamite”. Prediction rating: 9 out of 10
8. Illegal Immigration
Everyone's fun stat to ignore is that under the previous administration the flow of Illegal entry into our country was around 50-75,000 people a month. Currently this administration has allowed it to push up to an average of 250,000-300,000 a month. That we are being told is manageable, not a crisis. Those numbers are not sustainable and strains all forms of government that picks up the tab to help. That leads me to changing laws to allow people to come in legally and get into the system to work and thrive. First amnesty will be thrown around as an alternative for the folks who are already here illegally. Many will not agree but enough will and a bill will be proposed for it. Immediately upon the discussion of amnesty mass illegal immigration will increase. The saying is if you have a foot in, you will be granted amnesty. If the congress holds up this potential, then the President will put an Executive Order into life.
This one discusts me. Not because of the numbers or people. But, because I can not fathom our government allowing the sexual abuse of now millions of people coming across our border. It is said that at least 10 million will have crossed under Joe Biden. Of those 40%, yes, 40% have been sexually abused during their track to the United States. That is 4 million people our government has allowed to be abused. If that does not disgust you I can’t help you other than to point you towards Jesus. Lastly rumors just this week of an amnesty bill have surfaced. This is a done deal sometime in our near future. There is a high probability they will propose and probably pass this bill this year. Prediction rating: 10 out of 10
9. Drug War
Cartels and Mexican authorities will clash, while our government still does nothing to stem the flow of drugs over our southern border. Chatter and false narratives will be put forth but drugs will flow through every gap in the fence. Gangs will reign terror on those coming across the border. Somehow our government will allow sex trafficking to continue. Not one official has proposed, and or appears to be willing to stop it.
Bullseye on this target here. No one is willing to stop this atrocity in our country. Just fentynal itself is killing in the 6 figures numbers of people. Sex trafficking is the norm and despite Republican trie to focus on it. Only recently have a few stories in the mainstream media come out. Why? It might hurt our illustrious President’s election numbers. Prediction rating: 10 out of 10
10. Trump
We all know the nature of the past President. He is strong willed and verbose at the least. Attacks continue daily, and it appears the Democrats are capable of charging him with anything to stop him. But is he unwilling or willing to bow out of the race for President when he realizes the nation no longer backs him? That people wish for a younger, strong, but not as chaotic candidate. De Santis anyone? This would be crazy. But I think he will stop his campaign late in the year or early next, for the good of the country. Be careful what you wish for, as Democrats get what they want. But, then will be disappointed that they lose the presidency in 2024 to someone other than Trump.
Got most of this right also. Many are clamoring for DeSantis. But, President Trump has not lost his luster and appears in no way getting out of this race. Missed that part. The final part about being careful what you wish for was generated at the Democrats. Seems now because of their own actions, either Republican candidate may run over the “Bid D Nominee”. Prediction rating: 6 out of 10
So there you have it. Almost all correct and a few look to be happening now or in short time. Next years will come out soon.
If you are worried, then take care of yourself. Make sure you are financially stable. Help your family then your friends. Find a loving savior in Jesus to guide you through the struggles ahead.
