2023 Predictions Scored and New for 2024

By John P. Smith

    For the last 7 years, I've added to this same article, reviewing the previous year and adding new predictions. For 2024, we get the condensed version. We ran an Apocalypse Watch podcast on the 2023 scoring. (You can find it here.)

Let’s get into it:

2023-1: Early in his 2024 campaign, Trump and Devin Nunes purge “Truth Social” employees once the extent of CIA and FBI infiltration becomes clear.
Update 2024: This still might happen, although it’s a little late to do it early in the campaign.

2023-2: More criminal media collusion with US government, big tech, big pharma and the Chinese Communist party is exposed, readership/viewers continues to plummet.
Update 2024: More people break their criminal media conditioning. This will continue to hit criminal media corporation’s bottom lines. Some of the more blatant liars (CNN) are already beginning to back away from the constant woke agenda propaganda as their viewership drops. However, not one of the major criminal propaganda enterprises will revert to actual news as long as they’re being paid to badmouth Donald Trump.

2023-3: Food and energy shortages brought about by “climate-friendly” legislation leads to rioting and violent unrest in Europe.
Update 2024: Close call for 2023. I still think we’re going to see more of this in 2024. Specifically, France and Germany will see a lot of street protest action.

2023-4: Stacking functions: In parallel with “vaccine passports,” the digital dollar, or whatever Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) arises, electronic forms of identification will lead to more direct control of individuals by global government agencies. It doesn’t take much imagination, or just a look at how Canada froze the assets of protesting truckers, to see how easy it will be to lock an individual’s bank accounts so they can’t eat, buy fuel or pay their utilities if they refuse to do something like take a vaccine or turn over their firearms.
Update 2024: The governments of the world keep trying to put us all on a digital currency and carbon credits. As long as the drug cartels, mafia and corrupt government officials are dealing in cash, we don’t have to worry about it all that much. However, globalists will work on putting a system in place to track the rest of us while the criminals turn dollars into digital.

2023-5: If it looks like Trump will take the election, they (democrats, deep state, globalists, criminal media) will take more physical action. May not happen until 2024.
Update 2024: The democrats and the deep state have done everything but put Trump in jail and/or try for a JFK style solution. (Not that we’ve heard about.) It’s clear Trump owns the majority of legitimate voters. I suspect an attempt to physically halt his progress.

2023-6: EPA mandates to require certain percentages of renewable energy on state grids leads to massive power outages and innumerable deaths from cold and/or heat. Fuel shortages create situations where backup power generation fails.
Update 2024: We saw this happen in Texas. The world is simply not ready to go full solar, wind or geothermal energy. The consumer rejection of electric vehicles is telling. The basic infrastructure to support an economy with all electric vehicles doesn’t exist. Investments in clean energy falter and fail.

2023-7: There’s been a lot of noise in the US government about “UAP” and “UFO” disclosure. But, we haven’t heard the truth in 75 years, why start now? Cover-up continues.
Update 2024: In 2023, we heard from the Pentagon, Congress, NASA and NORAD on the subject of UFOs. The military created the AARO (All-domain Anomaly Research Office) to address the UFO/UAP situation. Two high-profile UFO whistleblowers testified before Congress. This amazing parody of disclosure gave us hours of hearsay testimony and grainy videos of pixelated dots in the sky. The military and DHS continue to push the “UFOs could be a threat” narrative as a scare tactic to increase funding. Otherwise, cover-up continues, nothing happens.
(Interesting note 1 JAN 24: I wanted to verify the AARO acronym and agency purpose for this article. ChatGPT had no information on the AARO. I then asked BARD, Google’s entry into the chat AI race, about the AARO. On the first ask, BARD delivered a paragraph about the AARO being a government office under the Secretary of Defense and a list of duties and responsibilities. Then it erased that response and said, “I'm not able to help with that, as I'm only a language model.” I got the same results on a second attempt: Answer, then erasure and excuse. A message popped up on the display, saying BARD had been updated. My third ask pulled the information I needed. What’s up with that? Did the AI not want me to have that information in the beginning, then deem it harmless and let me have it?)

2023-8: The division of the vaccinated and unvaccinated continues in spite of direct evidence that the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” was a complete lie.
Update 2024: COVID Vaccine side-effects and vaccine sudden death syndrom eventually go mainstream. Lawsuits are filed and criminal cases against big pharma, government agencies and criminal media outlets land in court. Those who willingly took the vaccine will continue to believe in it. Those who were “forced” in order to keep their jobs, will start to push back and join class action suits against the government and big pharma. Those who refused to take the vaccine, lost jobs or professions, income, etc., will join those class actions. 

2023-9: The moon. Still nothing. I really expected new information or missions to the moon, for a variety of reasons. A lot of people making noise about Mars. The best place to launch a mission to Mars would be from the moon. There's thangs going on that we don't know.
Update 2024: Several countries are still trying to get a lander on the moon. Several landers sent by other countries blew up this year trying to land their craft. Several companies are taking investments for mining asteroids. Elon Musk still wants to go to Mars. Maybe this is the year we discover what’s on the moon that kept us away for 50 years.

2023-10: The more people vote with their money, the more woke businesses will fail. Those businesses that get back to basic entertainment and customer service and stop shoving the liberal agenda in our faces might make it.
Update 2024: Disney has already admitted their woke policies and entertainment agenda have practically bankrupted the corporation. Marvel and DC aren’t far behind Disney in losing their core fan base because of their liberal, woke policies and movies. Consumers vote with their wallets to drive wokeness leftism from family entertainment.

2023-11: Our US government continues to drive a wedge between demographic groups. The COVID op is over; the ramifications of it still pertinent. I won’t say it failed when 80-percent of the country took an experimental vaccination, the long-term effects of which are only starting 
to materialize. To shift focus from the increasing mortality of the vaccinated, climate deniers will be targeted.
Update 2024: Deflection is the name of the game, as climate deniers are vilified as the new unvaccinated. Governments and criminal media go after those who contradict the climate narrative, using those attacks as a distraction from the emerging data on vaccine malfeasence.

2023-12: With more and more evidence of vaccine malfeasance, showing that vaccinated individuals are more likely to catch, transmit and possibly die from COVID, unvaccinated people will start to avoid gatherings of the injected. I expect to see Pureblood parties in our future.
Update 2024: I’m happy this didn’t happen. I have seen no evidence of Pureblood parties or unvaxxed folks avoiding the vaxxed. Let’s see how it goes when more horrifying vaccine stats hit the media.

2023-13: Trump has already thrown his hat into the ring. If Desantis decides to run and/or gets the Republican nomination, Trump will run as an independent, splitting the vote and handing the White House to Biden again.
Update 2024: Fortunately, this didn’t happen. The democrats are still 100-percent invested in finding some way, short of the JFK option, of removing Trump from the ticket. Their plethora of frivolous lawsuits gets no traction, other than distraction. Trump takes the GOP nomination.

2023-14: Worldwide food and fuel shortages create unrest across Europe and the Middle East. The US will only suffer minor inconveniences…this year. More food processing facilities and clearing houses will “catch fire” or otherwise be shut down, pointing to a rough 2024.
Update 2024: Global leaders are saying, “We’ve got to stop farming or people will starve.” They’re actually saying that, and they think we’re stupid enough to believe it. Those climate nazis continue to push their agenda.

2023-15: The Russians defeat the Ukrainians, taking control of the country.
Update 2024: I expected the Ukraine War to be over within a couple of months.  It’s been nearly 2 years. The Biden administration is saying if we don't keep sending money and aid to Ukraine, they'll put American troops on the ground. They really don't want to give up their money laundering operation. Regardless, it can’t last much longer. The Ukrainians will surrender to the Russians 29 FEB 24. Ukraine will lose the Donbas region and Crimea permanently. Russia will occupy the country.

2023-16: China annexes Taiwan. North Korea stirs up trouble on the Korean Peninsula as a distraction. The US does nothing about Taiwan.
Update 2024: Near miss. We heard a lot of noise, on and off, about this last year. China held some aggressive military exercises around Taiwan. They’re ready whenever the opportunity arises. If the U.S. gets entrenched in an Israeli or Ukrainian regional conflict, China will use the opening to invade Taiwan.

2023-17: Following the disclosure of the Twitter files and subsequent release of information from Facebook, the FBI is subject to Congressional hearings on election interference and usurpation of individual rights to free speech. There’s a lot of noise, but ultimately, nothing happens.
Update 2024: A direct hit. Following House and Senate hearings on this subject, nothing continues to happen. The FBI and other government agencies are above the law and untouchable as long as Biden’s cronies run things. That means, until Trump gets elected, again. Which is why all their resources are aimed at keeping Trump from being elected.

All new predictions as of 1 JAN 24:

New 2024-1: Trump picks Vivek Ramaswamy as his VP running mate. 

New 2024-2: Trump and Ramaswamy win the November election in spite of massive cheating and election fraud perpetrated by the Democrat voter fraud machine.

New 2024-3: Deep state democrat voter fraud and election interference are exposed and prosecuted.

New 2024-4: Trump assigns Vivek Ramaswamy the unenviable task of cleaning the swamp. Ramaswamy starts with the DHS, targeting the FBI, IRS, ATF and DEA. Agents and office personnel are retired or released from 80-percent of positions. Next: the EPA.

New 2024-5: Deep state assassination attempts against Trump escalate to the point Trump’s personal security detail has to fight off an attack by the Secret Service.

New 2024-6: The DOJ continues to make noise about releasing the “Epstein Client List.” Even if it actually happens, which is doubtful, the justice system ignores it, Congress does nothing, and the news media is silent. The mechanisms and offices in place to address and prosecute this level of criminal behavior are filled by people on the list. Nothing happens. 

New 2024-7: Israel clears out the last of the Hamas strongholds in Gaza by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the U.N. whines, and cries, and fires off several scathing resolutions against Israel for being so mean to those poor terrorists. Israel gives the U.N. a giant double-barrel middle finger and keeps going until the job is done.

New 2024-8: Possibly for 2025...Once Trump takes office, cannabis is removed from the Schedule 1 Drug list.
