Recap: 2017 Predictions

New Prognostications for 2018

Both Hillary and Bill Clinton will have succumbed to a sudden-onset illness: Heart attack, fast-moving cancer, plane crash, automobile “accident.” (Those folks owe a lot of bad people a lot of money and favors they can no longer pay…)  Jan. 1, 2018: I missed this one. Apparently, these people have better Deep State connections than I could imagine. 2018 Prediction: The Clinton Foundation is found to be in collusion with Russian agents over the election.  Hillary, Bill and Podesta’s names never hit the mainstream media dialog.

Obama will skulk around Washington D.C. attempting to manipulate policy until Trump’s people escort him off the premises. Jan. 1, 2018: He is still sticking his stupid opinion into everything.  Trump has yet to shut him up, though the President does occasionally undo Obama’s legislation.

Donald Trump will create a new paradigm in Government-to-people communication by continuing to bypass biased and untrustworthy media.  He will take his messages directly to the people, driving another nail into the mainstream mass media coffin. Jan. 1, 2018: This is happening.  The media isn’t dead, yet, but more of their listeners/viewers have figured out that they’re part of the problem and not being part of the solution. They will continue to lose ground and subscribers.

Mass media and their owner/backers will attempt to forward legislation to prevent “Independent Journalists” from deploying news and opinion. Jan. 1, 2018: This is happening, in a way. Bloggers are being assimilated into the Mainstream Media.  What this does is apply “editorial oversight” to their content.  Meaning: They work within the editorial agenda and lose their ability to bite than hand that feeds them. We, as readers, lose the truth, because it falls to the wayside in the editorial process.  I was in the journalism trade for almost a decade. I understand the need for editing and oversight of content within a publication. But with that oversight comes the railroading of ideas and redirection of efforts when the content doesn’t meet the specifications of the publication. When MSM assimilates bloggers, we lose content created autonomously, unbound by preconceived editorial notions and corporate guidelines.

As the primary mouthpiece for the Clintons -- CNN will cease to exist -- they have sold out and can no longer be trusted. Jan. 1, 2018: I missed this one.  They did not cease to exist. However, they are less and less relevant. Anybody not completely indoctrinated into the agenda of control and coercion has figured out CNN has declared war on the President and CNN journalists have no qualms lying about anything. They fired three, including a Pulitzer Prize winner, for lying about Russian interference in the election.


The “Fake News” whining from mainstream media will come to a head when alternative news sources continue to point to the majority of “fake news” coming from establishment drones. Jan. 1, 2018: This is still going on. As I noted in a Tweet earlier this year, “It is a telling indictment of our national press that Russia Today is one of the most trustworthy sources of information we have about what’s happening in this country.”

Other media will begin to suffer the ill effects of having their viewers/readers/listeners figure out they’re lying to them.  By the end of the year 50-percent of the “trusted” talking heads on major networks will be out of jobs.  Jan. 1, 2018: Dunno how this went.  I do know some media types were called out for “sexual misconduct” and others changed jobs that didn’t work out.

The Bush Family will try to stop a re-opening of the 9/11 attack investigation. Rudi Giuliani will step down as soon as the new 9/11 investigation is opened. (I already missed this one; he’s already sleeping it off somewhere: 12 DEC 16) Jan. 1, 2018: No information.  The war on the President has usurped any other news.  This includes the Clinton collusion with Russia on the Uranium One deal. The #asshatmedia absolutely refuses to touch it.

Trump will push for truth in Climate Change until the media capitulates. Academia and those with a stake in climate change money making schemes will continue to push the agenda. The U.N. will finally admit that their report was a political quagmire of falsehood and profiteering. Jan. 1, 2018: This is mostly happening, though, it is always reported as negative news.

The “Cashless Society” will be a big issue. This is a mechanism of control and it will be pushed at us hard.  Trump will not be a player; this push originates from the U.N., central banks and world governments. Jan. 1, 2018: This is still an on-going malfunction.  Though our relationship with the UN continues to decay, that’s not a bad thing. However, Bitcoin and Ethereum, for example, are taking on a life for their own as virtual currencies.

Another mass shooting, probably in the D.C. area, will be stopped by citizens with firearms but will still result in a renewed cry from liberals to quell gun proliferation. Jan. 1, 2018: Las Vegas.  Wasn’t stopped by armed citizen.  Allegedly stopped by armed guards. But, the story continues to unfold and change as players attempt to dodge legal ramifications.

Some militant liberal will attempt, and fail, to assassinate Trump.  Jan. 1, 2018: I am surprised this hasn’t happened.

The economy will not crash. (I hope I’m right.) Jan. 1, 2018: Not yet! See my prediction for 2018 on Virtual Currencies.

Aliens will not land. (I hope I’m wrong.) Jan. 1, 2018: Not yet! However, watch this MSM talking head and listen to what she says at the 2-minute mark: “…we don’t have to pretend it’s a conspiracy anymore.”  This doesn’t require in-depth analysis.  https://youtu.be/yEY9FSlGnsA

2018 Predictions:

•   Virtual currencies will become the internet trade standard. Russia and China work together to bring down the Petro-Dollar as the world reserve currency. 
• Trump will do something crazy with our debt. He’s already trying to get $30 billion back to the mainland.
• More Robots will be granted citizenship.  This has already happened in Saudi Arabia, where Sophia, an AI banking program, has been granted citizenship – and more rights than Saudi Arabian women -- to allow it protections against injury from humans.
• Vaccines: We will be more and more “encouraged” to take the flu vaccine.  Meanwhile, whistleblowers will come out with unimpeachable evidence that vaccines create disorders in children.  This evidence will be ignored by the ‘deep state’ media.
• Delusion will replace genetics as “infinite” genders are allowed in group settings.  (Individually, women will still have to sit to urinate while the men can opt to stand.)
• "Climate add-your-scare-word-here” will continue to be pushed as a component of the control agenda. However, more people will understand it is nothing more than propaganda pushed by the mainstream media.
• With the realization of the lies propagated by the mainstream media misinformation engine, consumers will migrate to “alternative” sources of news and information.
