Dystopian nightmare
Clyde Wilson
Alas! it is delusion all;
The future cheats us from afar,
Nor can we be what we recall,
Nor dare we think on what we are.
—Lord Byron
“And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”
—Genesis 6:6
It doesn’t matter, since right or wrong, no one will remember, but here are my predictions for 2008 and after.
Clinton and Obama will be the Democratic nominees for President and V-P, and will be defeated by McCain and Guiliani (or Romney). This campaign will repeat the invariable requirement that at least three of the four leading candidates be from the far northern Yankee fringe of the U.S. The election will be close and it will not really make any difference which ticket wins.
The U.S. will inaugurate further military actions in Muslim territory. There will be some serious disasters to U.S. forces in the midst of sporadic mutinies and command breakdowns. Tactical nuclear weapons will come into play. In response there will be a world-wide coalition of powers against U.S. imperialism. To prevent it from decimating the U.S. economy, China will be ceded (in disguised form) actual control of Alaska, Oregon, Washington, and northern California as a protectorate.Meanwhile Mexico will gain effective control of Los Angeles, Denver, and Houston and demand transfer of massive amounts of wealth to Mexico in payment for past U.S. offenses and full U.S. benefits for all Mexicans. The U.S. Congress will comply. Elections will be suspended and the Congress will become self-perpetuating. The Supreme Court will agree that this is Constitutional, citing international agreement that human rights are supreme over national laws.
There will be massive street war between black and Hispanic gangs in Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, and other cities, and breakdowns in public health, safety, transportation, communications, and food distribution in urban areas.
