Ok...here is how it's going to happen.....

We are seeing the Western (judeo-christian/zionist-christian) world starting to shit itself for two reasons:

1) The economy
2) Arab Spring

Now what I think will happen, and not necessarily in this order:

1) Expect the western economies to further degrade. By this time next year, expect official double digit unemployment in the US. Right now, I think the REAL unemployment number is about 22% in the US.

2) Expect another Hamas/Israel war. I am guessing in Q1 of 2012.

3) Sometime before the end of Q2 of 2012, a couple of smaller 9/11 type of attacks. A few hundred killed in each. A "big" 9/11 will be too obvious. Obama and his crew might engineer it. But the GOP will be the ones to gain from it. "Obama got us attacked" will be the GOP campaign slogan.

4) I am 99% sure a GOP candidate will win the white house (unfortunately not RP).

5) The Euro will experience a BIG turn around, at the expense of the US dollar. I think when the Arab Spring is on the downside, the petro dollar goes away. Instead, the Arabs will take EUR, YEN, RMB, as well as USD. If Putin can get the Russia economy back on track, possibly Rubles as well, but the Ruble is still a weak currency.

6) With more out of work in the US, the police state will get worse.

7) Those FEMA camps, guess were the homeless and the long term unemployed will get to live? And you thought the Muslims were going in them.

8) Finally, you will see a lot more restrictions in traveling and more govt crackdowns on protesters. People like A.Jones and Jeff Rense might be getting some 3AM visits from the cops...or perhaps one of those world famous CIA one-car accidents.

I think things are about to get bad on the US on the South Africa type of level. The govt will be in constant chaos management, unsure of how to fix it. The US will need to pull back in the military just to manage the homeland. That is where I see the BRICS + Japan and South Korea starting to get a real grip on power. Those countries are becoming early success stories and will run the world from a multi-polar perspective. The US, will degrade further into 3rd world state. By 2035, I expect most of the US to be heavily occupied by the Chinese and Russians. The EU will be strong enough to resist internal meddling, but not enough to project force.
