The 2023 Predictions

Predictions for the new year are a tradition in the content creation world, but it seems like the tradition is fading. The obvious reason is the zombies in the mass media are no longer capable of independent thought. If your job is to repeat what you are told, making predictions is a very dangerous game. That and you run the risk of accidentally noticing something that is forbidden. Predictions are about trends and noticing those is a high crime these days, so predictions are frowned upon.

The other reason this tradition is fading is America is no longer an optimistic society, so making predictions is a bit grim. Predicting that Americans will reach Mars in the next decade is fun and exciting. Predicting that the economy will continue to crumble due to mass piracy by the ruling class is depressing. Even for those on this side of the divide, looking into the abyss is not a lot of fun. That said, it is a tradition and traditions must be maintained even in the worst of times.

With that in mind, let us get right into it. The economy in Europe will continue to crumble in 2023, with energy concerns reaching critical mass. They stocked up on Russian gas to make it through this winter, but that stock is gone and the replacement will be significantly more expensive going forward. The goofy oil price cap will begin to warp the market, driving prices up in Europe, but down in Asia. This will accelerate the de-industrialization of Europe creating an economic panic by the autumn.

In the U.S., inflation will remain stubbornly high, especially as de-dollarization of the energy markets picks up steam. The Fed will have no choice but to shift from the Arthur Burns strategy to the Paul Volker strategy. Higher energy costs and China’s aggressive currency policies will force the Fed to remove dollars from the system in a far more aggressive fashion than in 2022. Mortgage rates will break the nine percent barrier in the fall as the economy dips into recession…

Cozy TV gets de-platformed from the internet…

On the political front, the prosecutor assigned to investigate Trump hits him with some spurious charges, in order to keep Trump viable. The regime thinks he is their best bet at avoiding a change in figure head. The charges will lack seriousness, thus turning Trump into a martyr for the base. Meanwhile, the Republican leadership rallies around Tim Scott as their anti-Trump option. They think their voters will abandon Trump if the option is a magical black man.

As the economy gets worse, the rumblings about a primary challenge to Biden will grow louder, especially as things in Ukraine fall apart. All of the pundits will swear that Biden will choose to step aside, but instead he will announce that he intends to run for another term, even though he has no idea where he is most of the time. At this point, even the dumbest Democratic voter will start to realize that our elections are just theater and they have no bearing on public policy…

Kanye West files for bankruptcy…

The crypto market will continue to erode as it becomes clear that the novelty has passed and there will not be another rally. The fact is the only use of crypto is to get around government policy. It is simply a way to make real money disappear and then reappear somewhere else without the government knowing about it. Bitcoin will drop below $10,000 by the summer and there will be talk about the entire space returning to its roots as a tool of the underground economy…

I will finish my book…

By the late spring, it becomes clear that the Ukrainian army cannot continue and the West has run out of weapons for them. This will force the Ukrainian army to withdraw from the Donbass. Simultaneously, NATO sends “advisers” into Western Ukraine, under the pretext of stemming the flow of refugees into the rest of Europe. These “advisors” will be mostly Polish military. By autumn, the Poles will be talking about annexing Ukrainian lands that were once part of Poland.

This triggers a crisis in Europe as it will open a long suppressed discussion about the borders drawn after WW2. The Germans will start talking about lands they lost to Poland after the war. The Hungarians will make their own claims in Ukraine. Romania will make is claims on Moldova/Transnistria. Meanwhile, the Balkans will get hot as all of the old claims come to a boil. Meanwhile, the Russians will turn their newly acquired territories into a heavily fortified buffer between West and East.

All of this calls into question the trillions spent on the Military Industrial Complex over the last thirty years. People start to notice that the weapons industry has been charging billions for machines that are largely useless against an opponent that can fight back and impossible to produce in the volumes required of a real conflict. The failure in Ukraine will expose the fact that the American military machine is just another grift in a society based on the greater fool theory…

Musk turns Twitter back over to the censors and moves onto some new hobby…

Joe Biden gives a speech in favor of human sacrifice. This sounds ridiculous, but the coordinated effort by the managerial elite in favor of the mutilation of children is one small step from ritual human sacrifice. Canada is telling people to kill themselves, so that will be in America soon. Put the two together and you can see how turning euthanasia into a new right is the logical end. Given how the ruling class sacralizes their fetishes, logic says they will be promoting human sacrifice soon…

The Alex Jones case runs into an “enterprising” judge who will craft a novel way around the legal protections Jones plans to use to guard his assets. The judge will find a way for the plaintiffs to do a Tom Metzger on Jones, stripping him of all of his assets and the commercial rights to his own name. The Alex Jones show will become the property of the skeevy weirdos suing him. Jones will be made penniless and no one in the mainstream media will question it.

Meanwhile Sam Bankman-Fried will get time served and a small fine for his role in the FTX scheme. This may sound crazy, but our legal system is this corrupt. He and the rest of the perverts that ran the operation will be given a free pass, as long as they keep their mouths shut about who they bribed and for what purpose. Unlike Bernie Madoff, who robbed important people, Bankman mostly robbed Dirt People, so the important people will give him and his friends a pass…

The Oracle of Lagos will become the Oracle of Appalachia…

OT and a specialist festoon for the new year;

I know we are moving towards unplugging from the puppet show, but if you get a chance, I highly recommend watching “Yellowstone” on Paramount network.

No bullshit white folk who work their asses off and if one deems to mess with them, well, it’s a trip to the train station.

No way. Not sure what’s your idea of polish involvement in this mess, but support for Ukrainian cause is not very popular in Poland, and there is a thick, red line between humanitarian aid for civilians fleeing war on one side (already considered burdensome), and direct involvement in kinetic exchange with Russia. At least for now, and absent some major escalatory event, it would take time to overcome this reluctance. There was a lot bad blood between Poland and Ukraine, going back centuries, and last flare up ended up with tens of thousands of polish civilians butchered (literally) by Ukrainians… Read more »

Just to clarify, sending 15 000 soldiers to fight in Ukraine will not happen until there is a state war between Poland and Russia.
If you think that Poland can send this kind of force, just like that, into the territory other sovereign country, to fight another sovereign country, then I’ve got nothing for you. That’s just wrong on too many levels.

But even if you put my opinion aside, I’m not sure how
“Up to 200,000 Poles to be called up for military training next year”
proves that
“Poles are already there”.

That’s sounds like experimental logic.

Due to lack of Russian/Ukrainian fertilizer, famine will break out in Africa. Despite widespread food shortages in the USA, the Biden administration will ship American grain to “People of Color” in the equatorial regions, gleefully starving the Deplorables, while feasting on lucullan delights paid for by Zuckerberg/Gates. South African Navy vessels will intercept and piratize grain ships passing through the Southern Ocean carrying grain to China, resulting in a Chinese invasion of South Africa rather than the expected invasion of Taiwan. China will win, and soon establish a 21st. century African slave trade.

I’ll first reup mine from yesterday, which is a variation of Z’s prediction about Europe: NATO (the GAE, obviously) overtly will intervene next winter in domestic European civil unrest over energy and possibly food disruptions and shortages. This will get really serious really fast if that happens in Germany and/or is violent, the latter of which is likely. Additionally, the immigrant populations will prove especially dangerous. The GAE and its British, Australian and Canadian puppet states will pull out all stops to censor the story and keep their own populations placated and unaware as much as possible.

Seems like the big prediction is whether or not the US will weasel out of Ukraine once it’s clear Russia has won, or if the government will feel like it can’t back down and we get the final solution to global warming in the form of most major cities becoming particulate matter in the upper atmosphere.

“I don’t care how many die as long as one of them is you” is probably the correct attitude toward all our leaders—or, it’s the least bad result we can expect.

I’d love to believe Putin would hit DC/NYC/etc., but he won’t, ever, because he’s one of them—the least bad one, maybe, but absolutely and irredeemably one. If he’s chuckin’ nukes he’ll target those of us he calls Nazis and racists, because he’s *not us*. He’s much more Trudeau/Schwab/Bankman.

Forgive me if this has been predicted already in the comments below: In 2023, the FBI will stop releasing crime data on the race of perps.

If you don’t like snow and a six month winter, Vermont is probably not for you. If you are game, it is quite possible to acclimate. As we get older we tend to spend more time indoors and curse the cold. The more we run from car to office to house the worse our cold tolerance becomes. This can be reversed. I’m 60 and semi-retired. My part-time retirement job is spending 8 hours a day outdoors at a ski area. Often in -20 wind chill. I could do it naked at this point.

The main problem with MAID is that the doctors start badgering patients and trying to get them to kill themselves whenever treatment would be expensive or a hassle. My recent experience with hospitals is that they already try to hard sell you into signing DNR orders so that if something happens while you’re there they don’t have to do anything to save your life.

Remember that nearly all doctors now are pajeets or ching chongs, and they don’t have any sort of empathy for the white boomers coming in with medical problems.

Predictions are hard. Public predictions are even harder. It’s difficult enough just to say who will win a sportsball game. It would be fun to revisit everyone’s predictions for 2020. I’m sure that absolutely none were anywhere close to correct. But I think predictions about inflation hanging around are probably accurate. Historically it has never gone away that fast once it has become an established thing. The regime doesn’t have any way to pay its debts other than printing. Also, they will soon have to consider either raising the eligibilty age for medicare or printing more. Bet on them to… Read more »

Most likely inflation ameliorates, but the new norm will be 5% or so. It seems it can’t get back to 2% as long as we keep deficient spending, and that is unlikely. Even 5% is better than most second and third-world crapholes.

It’s not hard to picture a hand picked GOP candidate being allowed to move into the WH in order to keep up appearances. The question is, with the grass roots now being well trained in ballot harvesting, can the regime ever turn that off?

The reaction to the Republican dipshit who said he’s a Jew but he isn’t (but his mother was, so he is, right? the story’s too stupid to follow) is becoming interesting. Instead of excluding freshman Republicans from being seated because they”re “insurrectionists”—as they’ve been saying they’d do for two years now—legislation has been floated to refuse to seat election winners if they *lied*. Unconstitutional, but so is everything.

The story of ethnic Germans in other countries after WWII is amazing. Hundreds of thousands, maybe a million or more, were killed or died from starvation/disease as they were forcibly removed. Around 12 million Germans were kicked out and moved to Germany.

That’s ~15% of the population. That’d be 50 million people today for the US.

I agree with your predictions inasmuch as you’re merely saying current trends will continue. The problem arises when there’s a “phase transition” — a system moves from one set of dynamical rules to another one, as when ice becomes water or water becomes a gas, If current trends continue, the political and economic system will “qualitatively” change at some point and the old rules and the old trends will become defunct and inapplicable. Another way of putting it — though not equivalent — is that some “black swan event” will occur.

The GAE is also very tight on human capital due to mass Boomer retirement and the junk product coming out of the universities for the past 10 or 15 years.

There also appears to be something going on with the shots that is contributing to this tightness.

On top of this, GenX, who falls into the chronological window between folks retiring and fools graduating, is significantly smaller than the Boomer or Millennial generations by something like 15 to 20%.

Competent STEM folks in the middle and younger end of GenX will do well for several years to come.
