Forecast 2013: Wars in the Middle East, the rise of China and new political intrigue (a new interview at The Washington Times)
Hawai’ian politician and journalist Danny de Gracia and I sat down for another interview recently.
DDG: What do you think we should expect or look for this year?
Aurini: I’d give a fifty-fifty chance of a major shake-up in Europe. The EU has been forcing self-destructive policies down the throats of their member nations, against the will of the citizens, and reactionary nationalist groups are beginning to form.
The value of the American dollar will continue to degrade and we could see a new war with Iran or Syria while ignoring that blight upon human existence, North Korea, or the war machine growing in China.
We’ll probably sadly see more Sandy Hooks and James Holmes-types as our society alienates more and more individuals. Gun Control discussions and obsessing over mostly non-existent terrorism will begin to jump the shark, as more Americans see it for the nonsense that it is.
“I’d give a fifty-fifty chance of a major shake-up in Europe. The EU has been forcing self-destructive policies down the throats of their member nations, against the will of the citizens, and reactionary nationalist groups are beginning to form.” – agreed, this last 6 months in the UK for instance has seen UKIP (whose main policy is to exit the EU) become the 3rd largest party, and is still gaining opinion share. I for one cannot wait – I am sick to the back teeth of pampered, unelected EU bureaucrats forcing laws on to this country.
I recall you saying in a YT vid that you have some hard calculations to back up some collapse predictions. If memory serves me correct, you said most that stuff is on tap for 2018? Just curious. Good interview per usual, its really cool to see you getting a platform like this.
