I forecasted that birdflu would go pandemic sometime in the
winter-spring of 2007 and that is a few months away. My forecast was
based on genetic Reassortment of people who have simultaneously a cold
virus (rhino type virus) along with H5N1 or H7N7. So far that forecast
is rather coming true given the speeded up occurrences of cases in
Indonesia and Asia.

I forecasted Iraq would end up as 3 smaller countries of Shia, Sunni
and Kurd. That forecast by me was made shortly after the invasion of
Iraq in March 2003. I would say the forecast is 80 to 90 percent come
true, all except the actually drawing up of boundary or border lines
for Shia, Sunni and Kurd new countries.

I forecasted that the summer and fall of 2006 would have little to no
hurricane damage compared to 2005 with Katrina. The reason being is the
increasing volcanic activity that spews ash into the atmosphere.
Laughingly, the US govt meteorology bureau forecasted the opposite of
me, saying it will be a bad season. Today is 21 August and so far I am
more correct than the govt meteorologists although we still have plenty
of time remaining for me to be wrong.

I forecasted that every summer the interior of the USA will become more
arid and desert like and this summer was just that. The reason being is
that global warming dumps water along the coasts of continents, water
that was meant for the interiors is lost to the coasts, since rainfall
follows a zero-net-sum pattern. Unless we apply Thistle seed or cotton
fibers into the atmosphere by airplanes emitted these floating
particles in the apogee of their flightpath, that we so disrupt world
rainfall, we also disrupt agriculture and Earth's ecosystem to a
dangerous level. The trend line is that interiors of continents are
heading to become deserts, and so far, ever since year 2000 this has
been true that we have had continual summer droughts.

I forecasted increased hurricane intensity due to global warming before
the summer that Katrina hit. My posts to the Internet is my evidence
record.

I forecasted that this century, the 21st century, will have about 3
periods of nuclear weapons detonation of either war or terrorism. That
wars are pressure valve releases of human overpopulation. The 20th
century had 3 such wars of 1914, 1940, 1970 (Vietnam). Spaced about 30
years apart as a "generational spacing" for populations to get to
another pressure release. Unless humanity applies a MAD Fleet (mutually
assured destruction fleet) to insure no-one launches nuclear weapons
and to provide the motivation for all who have nuclear weapons to
dismantle them and to provide the motivation to all those that do not
have nuclear weapons to never want to build them. My forecast includes
dirty bombs of terrorist acts. So the world is ripe with
overpopulation that releases its pressure by the incidence of a nuclear
warhead detonation. I thought perhaps the Kashmir violence would spark
a nuclear war but now we have Iran and North Korea building nuclear
weapons that could easily end up in the hands of terrorists. Either our
planet imposes a MAD Fleet first and gives us the maximum insurance of
no nuclear weapons detonation, or, we live through several nuclear
detonations and then wise up afterwards and impose a MAD Fleet
belatedly.

I forecast that because we have no border security and that illegal
immigrants flood into our country, that the USA is on a downhill slide
from its superpower status to that of 2nd rate power due to internal
strife of 2 different cultures in one country. Illegal immigration was
a major symptom of ancient Rome and some may say that the fall of Rome
was largely due to the lack of control of foreigners. History teaches
us that countries with different cultures usually end up with a
splitting of that country into smaller countries. Unless the USA can
secure its southern border and stop this flood of Spanish speaking
people, that the USA in the future will really be divided for which the
1860 Civil War never accomplished. Just so that we can buy lettuce for
50 cents cheaper, we hand our grandchildren of the future a divided
USA. History tells us, that a country stays together if its culture is
one culture. The moment you have 2 different cultures, your asking for
trouble. Canada has accomodated its English and French and not without
much tension and stress. Can the USA accomodate English and Spanish,
and I doubt it, given the history of the USA of a proclivity to fight.
I forecast on this issue that we are unable to secure the border
because the saving of 10 cents in the price of veggies or fruits or
cheap labor trumps the good wisdom of dual cultures. And thus the
downfall mode of the USA superpower to less than some other culture
such as China. Science and USA have been handmaidens to superpowerdom.
Science is now sprouting in China and will lead China to superpowerdom.
Science has never been handmaiden in Spanish cultures and so while the
USA sorts out this mess of illegal immigrants, China can easily surpass
the USA. My forecast here is that cheaper lettuce and cheap labor
trumps a better future of a monoculture and that China surpasses the
USA in this century.
