Predictions: Scoring 2021, adding 2022

 Scoring: 2017 -- 2021 Predictions

New Prognostications for 2022

By John P. Smith

Independent Journalist


For the last several years, I've put out this same article, reviewing the previous years and adding new predictions.  If you've already read it a few times, jump to the "2021 Prediction, and Jan. 1, 2022" portions of each prediction. I know this is getting long: I've put the 2022 portions in a larger font to make them easier to find.

Some of these are too old to continue. I won't erase them, because it's interesting to see how both society and my own views have evolved over the years.

Prediction 1:

Jan 1, 2017: 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.

Jan. 1, 2019: We’re almost there, with the winding down of the Muller Witch Hunt, more and more evidence of collusion is being released; it’s just evidence of collusion between the Clinton foundation in the form of the Steele Dossier and, well, warrantless FISA warrants. Also, the Judicial Watch group has made inroads into the Clinton email server scandal, having a federal judge order Hillary to answer a list of pertinent questions regarding the server and the contents. Meanwhile, neither Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton nor John Podesta are rarely mentioned in any kind of of negative context from the biased, lying mainstream media. This is what happens when the CIA runs your media.

2019 Prediction:  The Muller probe produces nothing. The idiot liberal Congress will still try to impeach on some stupid grounds like, “we really don’t like him.”

Jan. 1, 2020: I'm gonna call this a bulls-eye! The impeachment went from bribery, to quid-pro-quo, to extortion, and finally the result was "Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress."  Neither of which is a specific crime nor is a crime spelled out.  All that's left is to send the "articles" to the Senate so they can be shot down in flames.

2020 Prediction: If the "articles" go to the Senate, the subsequent trial exonerates President Trump and spells doom for many Democrats, especially Joe Biden. Biden's son goes to jail.

Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: No surprise on the first prediction.  However, missed it on the second one.  I was like everybody else; I didn’t want to see the FBI was such a big part of the problem. Nor did I know that the Courts had been so thoroughly infiltrated. So, I’ll double down: Trump wins the Whitehouse again, through vote in the House, and then starts sending deep state asshats to jail.

Jan. 1, 2022: I was almost completely wrong here. I didn't anticipate the rigged election. No further predictions on the Clintons.


Prediction 2:

Jan 1, 2017: 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.


Jan. 1, 2019: Obama is now on tour taking credit for the economic upturn created by the Trump presidency. Meanwhile, back in Washington DC, President Trump continues to destroy Obama’s “legacy” and rewrite his history. Obama’s trying so hard to remain relevant that he’ll say or do anything to keep the spotlight on himself.


2019 Prediction: Obama continues to be an idiot.


Jan 1, 2020: Another bulls-eye! (An easy one, but hey, take them when you can!)


2020 Prediction: The Hate-Trump Congress plays with the idea of trying to change the law so Obama can have a third term. They might actually even be able to do it; except too many of them are afraid that it will give President Trump a third term.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: Trump will get his second term.  We will see rioting in the streets either way.  How we handle rioters will change.  They won’t be allowed to run rampant the way they did over the last year.  Citizens will leave the attackers in the streets as they protect their lives and property.


Jan. 1, 2022: Once again, almost completely wrong. I didn't expect the Dims to be in charge. Congress still hates Trump. No more predictions on this thread.

Prediction 3:

Jan. 1, 2017: 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.


Jan. 1, 2019: Trump is still talking directly to his voter base, without the consent or help of the lying, biased, lamestream media. The liberal asshat media, led by ratings-in-the-sewer CNN and MSNBC, scream bloody murder at every tweet that goes out. I think Trump does it just to hear whatever new brand of manufactured outrage they can come up with.


2019 Prediction: President Trump continues to prod the media and they continue to whine about it.


Jan 1, 2020: Another on-target prediction.  The ass-hat liberal media hate him so much, and have their lips so firmly attached to the DNC's ass, they don't know any other way to behave.  Their motto should be, "If it makes Trump look bad, lying is okay."


2020 Prediction:  More and more voters turn off the lying, liberal media.  While this is already happening, I hope to see CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the Trump-Haters out of work and on a black list where no news agency will hire them.  (Maybe they should learn to code.)


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: The huge voter turnout for Trump makes this a win. The mainstream media has gone full communist. Even Fox News jumped on the beat Trump bandwagon. (Much to their chagrin in the ratings. They are as stupid as the professional sports leagues.) My vision: The mainstream media talking heads will be pulled physically from their offices to be tarred and feathered while the world watches -- half in disbelief, half cheering and laughing.


Jan. 1, 2022: A lot of these assholes have been fired or removed from their jobs, but they're replaced with liberal clones who are often worse than the original. Many of these predictions are about the legacy, liberal news medial. They will all be combined into one prediction later in this article. (See Prediction 7)



Prediction 4:

Jan. 1, 2017: 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.

Jan 1, 2019: This happened.  Is happening.  And it turns out to be much more sinister and disturbing than just having independent bloggers assimilated into the lamestream editorial fold. Even more disturbing, government didn’t have to do a thing to censor those dissenting voices. Major social media giants, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, collaborated (conspired!) to drop independent media outlets they “disagreed” with. They were judge, jury and executioner of content they disapproved of. The loudest and most visible was Alex Jones, who was targeted first and with extreme malice. (Frighteningly, mainstream media talking heads rejoiced on live television at the deplatforming of Alex Jones; not giving a single flying fartcicle about freedom of speech or the press.) But Jones wasn’t the only one; just the loudest. His ouster was followed by more than 800 pages and accounts on Facebook, and many of those same accounts were then removed from other social media sites. Some of the other victims of the conspiracy include The Free Thought Project, The Anti-Media and Cop Block. Here’s a good place to start if you want to see why that favorite right-winger rebel page you liked so much hasn’t posted anything in a while. This is what happens when the CIA runs your media.

2019 Prediction: Like Alex Jones, other alternative media will find alternative outlets for their content. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube continue their downward spiral into irrelevancy.

Jan. 1, 2020: Another bulls-eye!  Conservative, Christian, anti-liberal and crypto-currency content has been unilaterally removed from all platforms and content providers have to "appeal" to have their material put back up. The appeals rarely get approved.  In addition, many outlets find that, even though their content isn't "banned," their notifications are not being forwarded and their subscribers are being  removed.

2020 Prediction: Content Providers will find unbiased platforms (Brighteon, BitChute, LBRY) and, as noted in the 2019 Prediction, main-stream social media will start to lose their ability to dictate content.

Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: All but a few of the old-school media outlets stopped being journalists.  Well, they stopped years ago, but this year, they just quit pretending to be unbiased.  Same with social media platforms. They stopped trying to hide their bias and just owned it.  Facebook, YouTube and Twitter censored the President, Senate and anybody who said anything they disagreed with.  I said they’d lose the ability to dictate content last year. Instead, they doubled down.  However, competing platforms have arisen -- Rumble, Parler, CloutHub.  The old guard platforms are going the way of MySpace. 


Jan. 1, 2022: See Prediction 7


Prediction 5:

Jan. 1, 2017: 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.


Jan. 1, 2019: CNN is still around.  But they are a parody of their former selves. Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s, when I was a media relations noncom for the USAF, CNN reporters were the rockstars of network news. Now, they are a laughingstock, even among their idiot peers in other lamestream media outlets. Their reporting has degraded to the point where they actually ran a two-part series on President Trump’s penis. This is too stupid to be made up. (Oh, but they still love Bill, Hillary and Obama.) This is what happens when the CIA runs your media.


2019 Prediction: CNN will continue to suck and continue to blame it on President Trump.


Jan 1, 2020: Another easy win!  I am surprised CNN is still broadcasting.


2020 Prediction:  CNN's ratings continue to tank.  As do all the liberal, Trump-Hating media.  But, it's not their fault.  Trump made them do it!  Out-of-work liberal commentators take Trump Derangement Syndrome to a whole new level.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: Frighteningly, enough people still watch, and even more disturbing, believe what CNN tells them that CNN activists still have jobs. I don’t understand it; how many times do they get to lie right to your faces before you stop listening to them? CNN still sucks; and now so dies Fox News. They sold out and they are no longer welcome in my house.


Jan. 1, 2022: See Prediction 7

Prediction 6:

Jan. 1, 2017: 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.”


Jan. 1, 2019: This has gone global. Lamestream talking heads are no longer trusted as sources of real news. With CNN leading the way, these idiots have continued to push the “Hate Trump” agenda so hard and with so much lying that no one actually believes the anymore. Somehow, CNN, MSNBC, ETC., have failed to react to this feedback, even with their ratings in the toilet and people preferring to watch reruns of Gilligan’s Island rather than the the news. This is what happens when the CIA runs your media.


2019 Prediction: More and more people will wake up and migrate to alternative news sources.


Jan 1. 2020: This is still happening.  However, liberal media outlets don't bring up "fake news" so much anymore, as most people know they are the fake news.


2020 Prediction:  The more the mainstream and social media platforms control and/or ban content, the more ground they will lose to the alternative outlets.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: Per my previous prediction.  They are losing viewers and subscribers every day.  But, people still believe them and/or refuse to acknowledge they have been tricked.  Or, worse, they just don’t care. Anyone still listening to any mainstream outlet is part of the problem. Those people who refuse to see how they’ve been lied to will gather in the streets whenever they’re told the truth. 


Jan. 1, 2022: See Prediction 7

Prediction 7:

Jan. 1, 2017: 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.

Jan. 1, 2019: I nailed this one in 2017. In May, 2017,   A poll from Harvard-Harris shows that 65-percent of Americans believe mainstream news outlets are lying.  As of the end of 2018, CNN couldn’t place a news show in the top 20 cable news bracket and the New York Times is offering voluntary buyouts because their profits have dropped 30-percent. Even with this kind of slap-in-the-face reality check, these idiots won’t drop the fake news and the Trump Bashing. They’d rather lose their jobs. Here’s an article I found that sums up exactly what I’m saying here.  This is what happens when the CIA runs your media.

Prediction 2019: Lotsa journalists lose their jobs.  (We already have stories about journalists who are picking up other lines of employment.) Let’s see it happen; the media must change to deliver what we want as consumers. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to break it completely before we can fix it.

Jan 1, 2020: I don't think this happened the way I thought it would.  CNN is still broadcasting. The mainstream networks are still not completely broken.

2020 Prediction:  I really don't know.  I know what I want to happen: I want to see all the liberal, mainstream, lying, fake-news outlets fail and be replaced by new, unbiased, fair, truthful outlets that we can trust.  That's not going to happen this year.

Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction:  Ditto!

Jan. 1, 2022: While it's taking longer than I thought, the mainstream, liberal, legacy asshat media conglomerates are steadily losing viewership and eroding the public trust. For instance, this article from AP tells the story of how media outlets are failing. Interesting coming from the Associated Press, which has turned into one of the most insidious culprits in biased reporting. I predict a further decline in trust in "traditional" media sources and more people turning to independent alternatives. The headline below is from the link to the article above.



Prediction 8:

Jan. 1, 2017: 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.


Jan. 1, 2019: The media war against President Trump is still in full effect.  It’s hard to get “news” such as it is, about anything else. This is what happens when the CIA runs your media.


2019 Prediction: Nothing happens until the all-out war on Trump stops.


Jan. 1, 2020: This is a dead end. If Trump could get the FBI to investigate Clinton collusion with Russia; I think he'd already have done it.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: With the release of all the Clinton emails from Wikileaks, the admission from the FBi that they have corroboration (and Seth Rich’s laptop), I’m thinking maybe the tide is turning.  But, not holding my breath.  Obviously, the FBI is corrupt to the core and has to be cleaned out.  Maybe Trump will pull the same stunt Reagan pulled with the Air Traffic Controllers: Fire them all and start over.  It’s an option.


Jan. 1, 2022: As much as I'd like to see a real investigation of the 9/11 disaster, I'm not holding my breath. The Deep State has this locked down and the media supports them. If the failure to release the Kennedy Assassination papers even 50 years after the CIA had him killed is any indication, the truth of what happened on 9/11 will not be told during my lifetime. No more predictions on this thread.

Prediction 9:

Jan. 1, 2017: 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.


Jan. 1, 2019: Well, the U.N. has still not admitted that their report was bullshit. Some of the scientists who worked on it, or were released because they wanted to report the truth, have come forward with claims that it’s all a fabrication built on a lie. The “Yellow Vest” protests in France, in response to a tax hike on petrol to aid environmental efforts, is a good indicator that people around the world are figuring out that man-made climate change is a farce. (Don’t misunderstand: We the people need to take care of our planet. I say we can do it without the government’s boot on our neck. As for “man-made climate change” that’s all based on CO2. Do a little research into WHY it’s based on CO2. I’ll give you a hint: It’s all in the models.)


2019 Prediction: The U.N. will continue to push the climate change agenda.


Jan. 1, 2020: Another easy win. Anybody who thinks "Greta" came along all by herself and spread fear and discontent in the name of "climate crisis" is an idiot.


2020 Prediction:  Until we have media that reports the truth and not the agenda of hate and fear, "Climate Crisis" will be the go-to issue to spread that fear and hate.  Well, that and President Trump.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: Climate Change? Is that still an issue? Weren’t we all supposed to be dead by now if we didn’t do something 10 years ago?  Another fabrication allowed to lie dormant while the Fake Corona pandemic is being played out.


Jan. 1, 2022: Climate Change? What? It's still taking a backseat to the failed Corona Pandemic op. Prediction: As long as they can keep virus "variants" as the primary mechanism of creating fear, they will let Climate Change lie in wait. As soon as the virus op finally peters out, Climate Change will be front and center in the fear-mongering media output. (This is assuming the UFO/UAP fake alien invasion doesn't get any traction.)


Prediction 10:

Jan. 1, 2017: 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.


Jan. 1, 2019: Virtual currencies were hit hard by governments and the banking establishment. The Bankers don’t want any competition. They hate any kind of barter system (such as virtual currencies) that they can’t get a piece of. And so do governments.  So virtual currencies are still out there, but they are being pushed back by the petro-dollar and banking.


Prediction 2019: The EU will outlaw, or severely limit, cryptocurrencies.


Jan. 1, 2020: Another non-issue. No further predictions.  However, a recent (Dec. 2019) ban, or content removal, of crypto-currency based content from social media caused quite a stir. No real reason has been given for why so many crypto-based accounts were removed.  I have not followed this subject enough to have a solid opinion of where it might be headed.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: I thought this was a dead issue, until 31 DEC 20, when I was made aware of the Senate Bill S.3571, which requires all banks to create #DigitalDollar wallets for everyone.  It’s called the, “Banking for All Act.” Feel free to look it up for yourself. This is the next stop in creating a cashless system through which we can all be monitored and controlled.  (Just because I’m paranoid, doesn’t mean I’m wrong.)


Jan. 1, 2022: As a mechanism of control, this is near the top of the agenda. I stand by my 2021 prediction.


Prediction 11:

Jan. 1, 2017: 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.


Jan. 1, 2019: The Parkland shooting should have been stopped by an armed deputy. Someone armed with a gun for just exactly that purpose. But that guy didn’t do it and he let a lot of kids get killed. Even the local liberal ass wiper came to that same conclusion.  And, even if that had been prevented, the lying lamestream media would have still blamed it on the gun and/or never reported that some else with a weapon had saved the day. Like this incident in Oklahoma City. This is what happens when the CIA runs your media.


Jan. 1, 2020: A miss.  While we had a couple of horrible shootings, they didn't get the "ban the guns" coverage that incidents like Parkland received.  For one thing, the Dayton shooter's liberal, Hillary lover Facebook page was removed an replaced with pro-Trump content within two hours of him being identified.  The lying media didn't dig too deep into that, because it wasn't covered up very well.  The lying ass-hat media will tell you there were 41 mass killings in the U.S. in 2019.  What they won't tell you is that a "mass killing" (note: not shooting) is two or more people. 


2020 Prediction:  Being positive, I believe we will see less of this kind of thing in 2020.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: Remarkably, we did see less of this kind of thing. Or we were told about less, at any rate. This coming year, 2021, is going to be ugly. People are pissed and they’re going to stay pissed for a long time.  At least 4 years.


Jan. 1, 2022: Prediction: This is an easy one. Anything that happens along these lines will be embellished and exaggerated to instill fear of guns. Any time someone with a gun prevents a killing or major mass casualty incident, the liberal asshat news media will find a way to convey that person in a negative light.


Prediction 12:

Jan. 1 2017: Some militant liberal will attempt, and fail, to assassinate Trump.

Jan. 1, 2018: I am surprised this hasn’t happened.

Jan. 1, 2019: Still surprised.

Jan. 1, 2020: Again, still surprised.

Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction:  I think they’re afraid to make a martyr of him.

Jan. 1, 2022: Prediction: I'm almost tempted to double down on this one. If Trump throws his hat in the ring for 2024, we might just see it happen.


Prediction 13:

Jan. 1 2017: The economy will not crash. (I hope I’m right.)

Jan. 1, 2018: Not yet! See my prediction for 2018 on Virtual Currencies.

Jan. 1, 2019: I was wrong about virtual currencies.  Wrong is wrong.  I’ll wait and see.

Jan. 1: 2020: Strongest Economy Ever.

Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: Even with the Fake Corona, strong economy.  Getting our manufacturing back from China, India and Mexico is key.

Jan. 1, 2022: While the Biden administration is doing everything they can to crush small businesses and financial independence in the middle class, right now we're still making it despite the Dim's best efforts. Prediction: I'm tempted to say it's all going to go to hell just so I can be proven wrong. As it is, as long as they have the Corona op to fall back on, the economy will continue to circle the drain.


Prediction 14:

Jan. 1 2017: 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


Jan. 1, 2019: The clip above with the talking head trilling over the final “proof that UFO’s exist” is worth re-watching. Again, “...we don’t have to pretend it’s a conspiracy anymore!” That’s freaking funny. And the guy they interview? Luis Elizondo: Former CIA head of the UFO desk. This is what happens when the CIA runs your media.


2019 Prediction: TTSA (To The Stars Academy) will crumble and no one in the UAP, UFO, Alternate Narrative research field will trust them.  (Because they’re staffed by the CIA!)


Jan. 1, 2020: Another hit close to the mark.  TTSA has gone from the group that was gonna tell us the truth about UFO's to an "entertainment venture" run by the CIA.  It is unfortunate that many of the trusted names in the alternate narrative research community have "sold out" to the TTSA.  My take is that the CIA hasn't told the truth about UFO's, or UAP's, or anything for the last 75 years and I don't understand why anybody would think they'd start now.


2020 Prediction:  We can continue to push for disclosure, but it won't come from the CIA.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: Remarkably, again, the Senate just passed legislation requiring the intelligence community to, “make them aware of any UAP (the new way to say UFO) interactions.” The TTSA is still only an “Entertainment” company, with 100 years of CIA experience on the staff.  Really.  I’m not making this up.


Jan. 1, 2022: Prediction: I believe this will be the year the Corona Op finally dies and the Alien Invasion Op starts. Said it right here!


Prediction 15:

Jan. 1, 2018: Trump will do something crazy with our debt. He’s already trying to get $30 billion back to the mainland.

Jan. 1, 2019: Trump will build the wall.

Jan. 1, 2020: The Wall is under construction.

Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: Wall construction continues until Trump is out of office.  The next Democrat asshole in power starts tearing it down immediately.


Prediction 16:

Jan. 1, 2018: 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.


Jan. 1, 2019: Last year was kinda the year of the AI scare. For a while there, everyone in mainstream and alternative media was all about being afraid of AI. And then it just stopped…


Jan. 1, 2020: AI has been a fringe topic since the scare of 2018.  As a computer programmer, I believe AI to be, well, just good code. It's a tool. Just like a hammer. People make hammers because we can't drive a nail with our bare hands.  We have computers sort, compile and analyze data because they can do it faster than we can.  Even with "machine learning" and "neural networks" the computers are still following rules programmed by humans.


2020 Prediction: Even with the rise of quantum computing and more powerful processing and memory technology, the "singularity" (when AI becomes self-aware), is still in the future.  Right now, computers are just tools, electronic levers to help us do the intellectual heavy lifting.  Like any tool, it can be used for constructive or destructive purposes.  Good or evil, as directed by humans.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: I don’t recall seeing anything about this all year.  Either because it was hidden behind all the Fake Corona bullshit and I wasn’t looking deep enough, or nobody is talking about it.  Either way, I have no new insight into the singularity.


Jan. 1, 2022: No more predictions on this thread.


Prediction 17:

Jan. 1, 2018: 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.


Jan. 1, 2019: The CDC, and the Health and Human Services folks, are well aware of the link between vaccines and the increased instances of autism in children in the United States. They will continue to try to hide this data and push vaccines. The government will talk about making them “mandatory.” (NOTE: They already are if the children attend public school. They already are for anybody attending college.) Many parents will decide to home-school their children rather than subject them to the dangers of vaccines. This really pisses the liberals off; afterall, they DO HAVE CONTROL of the classrooms. Children educated outside their system will tend to think for themselves and not have the necessary indoctrination to fall easily into the liberal agenda.


Jan. 1, 2020:  This issue doesn't get much mainstream media coverage.  The lying, ass-hat media understands that if they're talking about it, people are thinking about it.  So they don't cover it.  However, the push-back by the government and medical establishment is such that we who believe we should have a choice have been labeled as "anti-vaccers." So, as is usual in this kind of psyop, they've created a label with negative connotations to identify those who disagree with the mainstream narrative.  You know, like "Climate Deniers" or "Conspiracy Theorists."  Even Robert Kennedy Jr. has been targeted for his public and vocal campaign to have the facts presented to the public and let the people decide for themselves. 


2020 Prediction: They have your children.  They don't need your approval. 


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: The Corona Virus Vaccine is the litmus test. I predict those who take it will still get the virus.  I also predict, those who take it will eventually want to force everyone to have it.  I foresee the vaccinated refusing to let the unvaxxed eat in their restaurants, ride their busses or board their planes. However, I also see this as a two-way street: Where the unvaxxed will refuse to fix the plumbing, electrical or heating and air of someone who has taken the poison.  The vaccinated versus unvaxxed paradigm will create an underground barter economy that will eventually force the Vaccinated to capitulate.  The unvaxxed will have none of it.


Jan. 1, 2022: This prediction was pretty darn close. We're not quite there yet, but they'll keep pushing the division. They (deep state, socialists, communists, Democrats, assholes, take your pick) could not get any traction with the BLM/Antifa/White Privilege narrative so they added the Vaxxed versus Unvaxxed division. The idea being as long as we're looking at each other, no one is looking at them. Prediction: This will continue. I would not be surprised if the UFO Scare Op doesn't generate another way to divide the populace. For instance, by blood type.


Prediction 18:

Jan. 1, 2018: 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.)


Jan. 1, 2019: Women, and men who act like women, will still have to sit, or squat, to urinate. Men, and men who act like men, can still urinate while standing. Biology is such a bitch.


Jan. 1, 2020: This seems to have reached its hysterical peak and has started to return to "normalcy," if there is such a thing. Too many concerned mothers and fathers made it clear that some "man" who was feeling like a "woman" wasn't going to share a public restroom with their children. The republic works so that minorities can be heard.  But when 2-percent of the population dictates where and how we get to piss, something is wrong.


2020 Prediction: *sigh*


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction:  Amazingly, this went to the back of the bus in favor of Antifa and Burn, Loot and Murder.


Jan. 1, 2022: This has continued to be one of the big agenda issues for the liberal left. So much so that liberal teachers and coaches are allowing "transgender" athletes to compete in sports based on their sexual preference rather than their genetic makeup. Oddly, this seems to be a one-way street: Boys who want to be girls competing in women's sports. I haven't seen any articles or instances of girls wanting to be boys competing in men's competitions. Meanwhile, transgender "girls" are breaking records and kicking ass all over the country. Prediction: Enough parents will get angry enough to remove school boards, teachers and coaches who encourage this kind of behavior. Or, more possibly, parents will simply refuse to let their female children compete -- which makes the whole thing a throw-back to Dark Age social mores -- and ends up in a state where "biological females" don't get to play sports but transgender girls do.


Prediction 19:

2020 Prediction: Trump wins the White House again.  Liberals and Democrats continue with their witch hunts and do-nothing governance, working feverishly to punish Donald Trump for being President.  That's okay.  The President has already proven he's always three steps ahead of them.  As long as they're out to get him, the sorry socialist assholes are not trying to take more taxes from me.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction: This turned out to be pretty true. Except now, they’ve put mechanisms in place to steal the election.  We’re not going to let them.  As I write, patriots are surrounding the Capitol...


Jan. 1, 2022: The best description I can offer of the Jan. 6 Capitol incident is that it was a farcical pantomime of an actual insurrection. Prediction: The Dims will continue to persecute and prosecute anyone remotely involved.


Prediction 20:


2020 Prediction: The Moon.


Jan. 1, 2021 Prediction:  Space Force was created.  Space Force troops are going to be called “Guardians” in the best tradition of science fiction.  Why do we need a Space Force? (As far as I'm concerned, the Moon should have already declared independence from the Earth. Yeah, that's how far behind we are...)


Jan. 1, 2022: This was wrong. Except where the Chinese space probe is going to look at a "box" on the moon. Mars is where all the action is. Prediction: We will be slowly fed "evidence" of the origin of the human race from Mars.


NEW for 2022:

2022-1) Media and production companies such as Disney, DC and Marvel Comics will continue to "get woke" until they actually wake up to the fact that nobody's buying their bullshit. Profits for these institutions will continue to plummet. Each will have to decide to start selling what the consumer is willing to buy; or fail. Prediction: DC and Marvel will regroup and live; Disney will continue until they fail -- probably not this year.


2022-2) For me, 2021 wasn't a bad year. Nobody was shooting at me and I wasn't forced to shoot at anybody. As far as I'm concerned, in these times, that's a good year. I don't know if we'll make it through 2022 with the same success record. We're headed for a hot conflict. It won't be ignited by draconian quarantine mandates or government over-reach. Prediction: The hot conflict will start when one group of citizens take matters into their own hands and deny essential services (health, medical, consumer goods, manufacturing materials) to another group based on media misinformation and government propaganda.


2022-3) Prediction 2022-2 got me thinking. Prediction: Unvaxxed citizens begin refusing to work with Vaxxed individuals when it is proven that the vaccine increases the possibility of catching and spreading the virus or variants.
