My Dear Friends and Despised Enemies, Happy New Year.
As has been our tradition these many years, it’s time to register our predictions for the coming year. We looked at how well we did last year on Tuesday. Better than in 2023, but nothing to brag about. I predict we’ll do better this year. But recall I bombed in my prediction last year.
Rules:
- Number your predictions, using numbers, like this.
- Limit your predictions to 3 (THREE), a number less than 4 (FOUR).
- No sports or other celebrity tittle tattle.
- Attach a probability word if you are less than certain.
- Verified predictions of our coming Doom will receive very little weight unless they are quite specific.
- The winner will be announced New Years Eve.
These need not be politics! Feel free to cast your mind on the sea of ideas and see what you net. If you’re going to guess Trump assassination (which I anticipate some will), give us details. Poison? Bomb? NPR piped into this shower every morning?
We’d all be grateful if you included one prediction covering your area of experience. Fun and educational for the rest of us.
Obviously, this post did not come in time to register the prediction “More terrorism from Official Victims on US soil”, but you are of course free to suggest the total number during the course of the year.
My guesses:
- It is tempting beyond my ability to ignore to see this as the year in which many more tire of Official Victims and the pervading automatic deference and obsequiousness to Official Victims. DIE is still with us, and will remain because it is the law of the land. But among the people, less automatic reticence when dealing with Official Victim crimes. This may be wishcasting on my part, coming so close to the new terror attacks. But it is true that as whites dwindle in the population, the greater the pressure they will face to act in their own interests. The immediate after-war generation that was so horrified of difference, leading them to falsely insist no differences exist, is fading fast. My prediction is we’ll see some concrete, loud verification of this, of a kind that will be immediately apparent. Such as drastically culling or suspending H1Bs, or some high-ish official saying after an incident, “They are just like that.”
- The bird flu panic that are trying to juice won’t catch on, though they’ll certainly give it the old college try. They’ll also float “Covid is still with us”, and anything else that can be made to sound scary. Like UFOs. This is not a conspiracy, merely the effects of Experts seeking attention.
- There is a small chance this is the year in which somebody mistakenly announces to great hype AI has reached “sentience.” It won’t, I think, be an AI worker, because they should know better. It will be an academic in another field, like psychology or neurology or something similar. The academic, or team of them, will say AI passed some test (greater than the Turing), or it is reached some calculation density, or some other drivel that means we now have to give AI “rights”.
If you think your skills are tops, or if you know someone who fits that description, register your or their perspicacity for all to see and verify!

1) A Divine Intervention will bring us a Catholic Pope
2) Trump will make a great trade agreement with Russia, Russia, Russia to defuse International tensions
3) Women will start to realize what an abomination murder in the womb really is – we get the most fingers and curses at Planned Parenthood from young white women – they think we are dinosaurs – aged superstitious religious zealots and they will start to realize they have been brainwashed into a self destructive gnostic sexual fantasy
Predictions for 2025.
1. Martial law declared in the United States due to economic deterioration, etc.
2 United States abandons NATO.
3. Wide support is obtained of the American public to incorporate Canada and Mexico into the United States.
My general prediction is that the totalitarian global System will continue to collapse into chaos, due to escalating infighting among different types of evil factions — but that people who oppose The Left will interpret System collapse as progress for their side.
The above is much too general a prediction, yet I don’t think it can be made much more specific; because there are just too many kinds of possible chaos, and many can simultaneously be pursued in too many ways by too many people in too many places. For instance, the collapsing Western states capacity for sponsoring and organizing deadly terrorism and sabotage is probably just getting going, and has vast scope.
Maybe it is specific enough to predict More War; maybe measurable as more people killed by wars… However the numbers of dead are not available (certainly not agreed) for the current wars, to within even an order of magnitude. So, such a prediction as “more killed in wars in 2025” is not really testable in practice.
Maybe, it is enough to predict that there will more more fronts opened-up in the ongoing global war of The West against everybody else?
If there are agreed to be two significant international war zones at present (Eastern Europe and the Middle East) – maybe we could say that there will be at least one other?
For instance; the Far East, or Asia Minor; or one or more Western nations will experience significant air/ missile strikes either at home, or on their official military bases abroad (but bases not in the current war zones).
1. The all American diet of 2024 will be scrapped and replaced by one that encourages healthy fats and minimum carbs. The vegan diet will be exposed as unhealthy.
2 Putin will be deposed
3 USA will return to unbiased legal process with some unsurprising imprisonments
1) Solar weather, in the form of an outsized Coronal Mass Ejection, will slither through our weakening Magnetosphere and cause electrical outages in North America. The plasma load will likely land in the vicinity of Justin Trudeau’s protection detail. (God has a great sense of humor). Brian Sullivan (@WeatherSullivan) of Bloomberg will lead the MSM chorus blaming the disaster on ‘global warming.’
2) The S&P 500 will encounter an unusual correction within the context of the Decennial Pattern of greater than 20%. Highly likely to be engineered by Never Trump moneychangers: the CIA, Freemasons, Zionists, and the Jesuits. James Martin, SJ (@JamesMartinSJ), spokesman for the Vatican, denies any association and celebrates, once again, the demonic color scheme of its Jubilee Year.
3) Zelensky departs (finally!) before summer, sheds his wannabe SoHo black tee shirt outfit, and is seen romping around the Mediterranean, probably outfitted in bespoke Saville Row suits and ties (made available by courtesy of GCHQ).
1. There will be a mass casualty event during the inauguration (if its held outside in DC in the traditional way). Possibly a swarm of explosive laden drones. Many dead, but Trump will survive.
2. Sonya Sotomayer will leave SCOTUS (either because of scandal, health or possibly feet first). Trump will attempt to replace her with a milquetoast moderate and the left will act like he’s installing Hitler himself on the court and the right will bitch and moan but eventually fall in line. The fight will make the Clarence Thomas hearings look tame but in the end John Roberts will get a new friend.
3. There will be a massive political shakeup in China. Xi will either be deposed or come out of it stronger than Mao (and even more ruthless).
4. (bonus guess that really applies to 2026) Blue wave predicted for mid-terms (predictions by MSM will start in 2025, that’s why I added it here). It will either not materialize at all or be only slight gains.
The world is getting weirder, I have significantly less confidence in my predictions this year than last year. Interesting times indeed.
2025 Predictions – Canada Edition
1. Justin Trudeau resigns after being MeToo’ed. The hand of Trump in the matter will be obvious.
2. The Province of Alberta openly states its worst kept secret of wanting to become the 51st state.
3. Trump repeals Biden’s order ending the Keystone XL pipeline, Ottawa says “thanks but no, cuz climate change”, followed by 1. above.
I have no reason to change my mind:
1. Leo IV will succeed Francis
2. William V will succeed Charles III bis.
3. President-elect Trump will be assassinated.
Actually, I’m no longer so sure about that last, because I don’t think potential assassins would be so keen on President Vance.
Chris Christie will be tapped to work with Tom Homan to secure the border. To everyone’s amazement, immigration stops completely. Chris is not very forthcoming about how he did it, but hints it has something to do with his own special blend of eleven herbs and spices.
1. Trump’s government reforms will be largely lukewarm and ineffective due to lack of Republican support and his own fading ambition. DOGE fails miserably unfortunately.
2. inflation continues at a moderate pace, less than 5%.
3. The Farm bill finally gets passed with major increases in funding for “climate smart” practices.
Last year I predicted “2024 will be the Year of Terror” which was judged “Nothing more than the usual background rates, it seems.”
I guess the hundreds of campus riots/demonstrations with Islamo punks chanting “Gas the Jews” is usual, the new normal, about what the benumbed sheeple expect, nothing out of the ordinary, and in fact celebrated by Doomster apocalyptoes right here at this site. Hubba hubba. And two (2) terrorist assassination attempts on Trump, aided and abetted by the Deep State. Ho hum. And innumerable rape/torture/murder rituals performed by invader demonics. As well as 710 people killed and 2,358 people wounded in 584 mass shootings in the US in 2024. And the jihad plowman in Narlins who came a day too late to count as last year. And ICBMs launched by dementia Joe in an attempt to start WW III.
So I stand uncorrected and right on the money like a modern day Nostradamus or better yet a Cassandra, cursed by the gods to make accurate prophecies but never to be believed, even when they come true.
And I make the exact same prophecy for 2025, that it will be another Year of Terror in this country and elsewhere in the world, knowing full well that I won’t be believed (or credited with foresight) when it happens.
1 – Same as last year’s prediction: existing trends continue: DIE continues to die; the climate crazies continue to lose influence; local MAGA-like movements win worldwide; Ukraine grinds to a halt as Soros et al fail to get their fourth reich off the ground, etc etc.
2 – LENR (formerly known as cold fusion) R&D achieves public visibility with “experts” pronouncing it the wave of the future and some bleeding edge opinionators venturing to suggest that in-situ generation via LENR could be the future
of the electric vehicle.
3 – politicians of all kinds will invest prestige, and taxpayer monies, in today’s version of battery plants (and lithium mining): AI server farms and “clean” co-generation – only to eventually find that many of the projects are fraudulent; the market is much smaller and more concentrated than they are being; and the actual power needs for the technology circa 2027/8 are one tenth of what NVidia et al need today.
Bottom line: I’m wildly optimistic – yes the US is in de facto recession, the public debt is absurd, leftist violence is just beginning, and the Obamacon in Washington will do everything they can to hamstring Trump and the United States; but, 12 years of Trump/Vance sanity in the Whitehouse coupled with public and congressional support should lead to an astonishingly fast and lasting resurgence in world-wide progress – measured in terms of peace, prosperity, individual freedom, and breakthroughs in math, science, technology, and space exploration.
Another prediction wrt war.
My interpretation of the 2024 US Presidential election is that it was between the Establishment faction who most want to destroy Slavic Christians and annihilate their nations; and the Establishment faction whose priority is unconditional and open-ended support of the state of Israel.
The election was won by the faction who primarily support the state of Israel; and who believe that this imperative was being impaired by having created and sustaining the the contrived civil war that pits Ukrainians against their Russian cousins. There was just So Much graft deriving from continuing that war, that the JB administration wouldn’t let it end and had to be removed.
If I am correct, then *very soon* after DT takes-over (within a month) the NATO military commitment will very rapidly escalate in the Middle East – while being wound-down in Ukraine (with an increase instead in Intelligence and covert ops, harassment by deniable terrorism/ sabotage).
That’s a pretty precise prediction – and one that could be refuted within just eight weeks from now.
(Karl Popper would, no doubt, approve such clear disprovability… I wonder which faction He would have supported?)
1. Deliberate Global strife will MOST LIKELY shift focus to the South Caucasus region. Hopefully more people will come to the understanding that Russian miltiary aggression, Chinese economic espionage, and Isalmic State terrorism have been concerted for the aim of shifting global powers (e.g. the Belt and Road Initiative). Either Georgia, Azebaijan, or Armenia will become entagled with the Syria Problem or ‘surprising’ political upheaval in those goverements will set the stage for global conlfict in 2025.
2. AI WILL be used extensively like bots to influence discourse on social media at the expense of public temperment. The pinnacle might become geniune dialogue indistinguishable from advertisement or propaganda. Fashionable trends of infatuation and revulsion may give rise to new forms of satire and commentary, while real people will begin to question their particaption on the internet. And the idea of simulacrum will become a highly debatable issue among nerds, geeks, lawyers, politicans, marketers and businessmen.
3. A great re-learning, or re-awakening, WILL begin, and a great deal of teaching among a common people will become dedicated to unraveling the ideas we’ve either forgotten or have taken for granted. Idealogues and Pundits will clash like Data Barons over opprotunities to exploit social media platforms for an attempt to inlfunece this movement. Some people will realize they were neither conservative nor libreal, neither left nor right, and grow tired and agitated from being mislead and manipluted. Truth and all the princpiles we invest it with will start to be tinged by arguements about Trust.
I’ll give a positive prediction for once, although I admit this is more a wish than a prediction:
1. For once, a politician won’t lie. Specifically, Trump and his dudes will make a big show of deportations, then the drive will peter out, and then Trump will for once be an honest politician and make a national address where he will basically say “well, we tried but there’s way too many of them, and we won’t be tearing up our society to get rid of them… so no more mass deportations. Sorry everyone.” Not part of the prediction: he may or may not blame US employers for the failure of mass deportations.
I spend a lot of times around computers so I’ll make a prediction regarding that, but for the record I have to say the novel information content of this prediction is negligible. It’s sort of like predicting “Woke are going to Woke in 2025 too.”
2. Microsoft won’t renege on it’s requirements for TPM for Windows 11, and once October 2025 comes, they’ll discontinue support for Windows 10 for real. This means that after that point ALL proprietary OS vendors will require the palladium chip and the countdown for the death of general computers starts.
It’s a good thing I’m well advanced in making a FOSH computer because “right now” would be a bad time to start thinking about ensuring our access to general computers. 🙂 But if you want to hedge your bets (and you SHOULD hedge your bets), try to dust off an old pre-386 computer and get it into working order. In addition, we should again explore BBS-es. In particular, I think all people who have blogs should think about mirroring the blog content on a BBS.
I don’t really know what to make for my third prediction. My university days taught me you should never leave a question unanswered on a test, because you just might get the right answer by accident, so….
3. MAGA will realize Trump+Elon already sold them out to oligarchs.
1. Ford, and maybe the other US car manufacturers, will discontinue making and devloping electric cars that are rechargeable by plugging it in. They will announce the switch to self-charging electric cars. I expect this announcement October 1 +/-2 weeks.
2. A non-special person will compete in the Special Olympics World Winter Games at Turin Italy in March. They may be transgender and will probably not announce their status until they have competed.
3. The USA will retain control of the Panama Canal August 15, the 111 anniversary of it’s opening.
I predict a boring (in a good way) 2025.
1) The US economy does well
2) No major C19-type shenanigans or successful assassinations
Non-political prediction:
3) Brick and mortar retail experiences a boom
I refused to read your predictions till after I post mine…
I like my thoughts without others that may interfere with mine…

Cardinal Turkson becomes Pope…

There shall always be new Eden’s…

1. Collapse of Bitcoin due to a mathematical wrinkle.
2. Trump will lead a renaissance in U.S leadership through Golf diplomacy.
3. The sciences will move further away from “old school” white privileged male system to a more inclusive system, particularly in physics which will be about feelings and mathematics where close enough will be good enough!
1.) There will be a “2nd wave” of inflation
2.) They will crash the markets (S&P down at least 40% from start of year) at some point after Trump implements some policies, such as deportations.
3.) Trump will call for 0% or negative interest rates again.
Ooh, nice challenge!
1- Hot war between Venezuela and Guyana, although maybe not officialized by declaration.
2 – A US carrier damaged or maybe sunk, either in the ME theatre, or in Asia.
3 – An important US ally breaks ranks, perhaps in Asia.
1.) Transgender will be so yesterday. The L’s and G’s already know that the B’s and T’s were only grouped with them by democrats seeking to expand an identity group base for political purposes. But since the L’s and G’s already have everything they could expect from the government, and the democrats got their clocks cleaned on the trannie thing in the last election, we won’t be seeing “LGBT” much any more.
2.) Don’t expect any “mass deportations” of criminal illegal aliens. The ones already in custody with detainers on them will probably go. Still, the real badasses won’t be easy to find and will be too dangerous to arrest so instead they’ll go after the low-hanging fruit and round up a few landscapers with anchor kids. There will be a storm of lawfare injunctions out of various NGO’s and all sorts of sob stories all over the media about crippled kids who need operations, separating families, etc.
3.) SpacEx will continue dumping Starships in the ocean and calling each flight a success bringing us closer to getting to Mars in 10 years. (Funny, Spacex doesn’t talk about the moon much these days).
Scientists will convince the last holdouts opposing Einstein’s general relativity with indisputable proof — photographic evidence of light being deflected as it passes near your mom.
1. “Anti-woke” or “anti-DEI” will emerge as a big marketing strategy in many areas, even though little will actually change because The Enemy is even now assuming some new form.
2. We see the first major political scandal involving a “deepfake” video. Trump will probably be involved somehow.
3. There will be a major volcanic eruption somewhere around the Pacific “ring of fire,” one large enough to decisively affect global weather patterns. The shock of this will temporarily cool (pun intended) “climate change” activism.
1. The lights will go out in California about the same time they come back on in Puerto Rico.
2. There will be an attempted terrorist event at the Superbowl.
3. At least one leftist government in Europe will be replaced by “right wing” nationalists.
1. Barron Trump will get a jewish girlfriend. She will not let go.
2. China GDP will grow more than in 2024. (More than 5%)
3. DOGE will be a total failure, presented as success.
In the year 2025…
1) God begins to punish the world, saying, “Let every spider increase in size by 1 ft.”
And there was evening, and then morning, and women were most affected, and Climate was blamed.
2) The fracturing of the American right that began with H-1B will escalate into 4-way civil war between MAGA voters, Conservative Inc., Swamp Republicans, and formerly-Left-but-still-liberal converts who will all fight over who gets to tell Trump what to do, stalling America’s Greatness over the long term because no consensus can be reached.
Dying Democrat media reports growing division with glee! Trump Year 1 is riddled with delays, Democrat hersterical roadblocks, and compromises over economic and security and WWIII issues, but at least largely delivers on social ones. Ukraine conflict neither ends nor escalates; it de-escalates yet drags on in limbo with occasional skirmishes as Putin and the Russians wearily wait for their American partners to get their act together. Zelensky continues to beg, Anti-Pope Francis continues to reign and complain and passive-aggressively lash out at faithful Catholics, and Benjamin Netanyahu continues to be pleased being allowed to do whatever he wants, but as a concession he slow walks further Greater Israel expansion and plays things on the down low… for now.
3) The Western Entertainment and Media industry, especially in North America, from Hollywood to streaming to videogames, music and news will have it’s worst year ever on record – flops, closures, mergers, lay-offs, market contraction, more Diddy/Epstein level scandals etc. as woke and just plain bad products continue to come off the assembly line faster than it takes for the ship to steer back to classic liberal normality, but by then, audiences will have wisened up to that too, so it’s more doom’n’gloom for Tinsel Town, and all those who laid down with her and ate of her meat and drunk from her cup unto their financial desolation.
1- Trudeau and the Liberal Party get a serious spanking. Pierre Polievre becomes PM and immediately ends the carbon tax, reboots Keystone, and ends the coming ban on ICE cars.
2- A deal in Eastern Europe leaves Crimea, and the Donbas in Russian hands, but with caveats.
3- Trump completes the Abrahamic Accord between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The Progressive left has kittens.
1) SOUTH Florida will see snow
2) Trump will step down likely due to health reasons
3) Another Helene like deluge where you’d least expect it
1. Intelligent Design will become accepted research and course material in biology departments at Christian colleges and Hillsdale.
2. The Global Warming of Doom and Green Energy scams will show signs of unravelling as a growing number of Americans start rejecting the GWOD propaganda.
1. The US stock market will begin a bear market – the S&P 500 will drop more than 20%.
2. The insatiable demand for reliable power by Big Tech, Data Centers, AI, etc. will accelerate the public’s acceptance of Nuclear power. That need plus Trump’s desires will move the Nuclear regulators to be more willing to accept applications rather than instinctively reject and delay them. However, the long lead times for Nuclear Power mean that natural gas generated electricity will continue to dominate unreliable wind and solar.
3. The conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine will be in cease fire or at an end.
1) No New States! Trump’s supposed efforts to buy/conquer/add Greenland, Canada, and Panama to Imperial America will be revealed as “stray voltage” — news designed to distract from actual plans and actions. There may be action to divest underperforming real estate such as Saipan. The U.S will enter the Semiquincentennial year 2026 with the same collection of states with which we celebrated the Bicentennial in 1976. (Newspaper headlines of 2025 will be prone to mispel or over-hyphenate the word ‘Semi-quinti-centennial’.)
2) Space and Rockets and Space-Rockets! Interest in space rockets will resume if not reach the stratospheric heights of the “Boomer” generation. This is from two sources: (a) SpaceX and Firefly and Blue Origin etc will post newsworthy accomplishments, spin off public trading in stocks where the public can invest, and celebrities will be on TV about their own high-flying trips. (b) Backyard rockets designed to bring down electric/propeller dronecraft will come to market. Those with nightmares about October 7th will be early adopters of such rocket security devices. (and celebrities will be on TV, etc) We may lose Homer Hickam to old age but it’s hoped he’ll be honored by VP JD Vance, one mountain boy to another, as the hillbilly rocket-man so richly deserves. (This is where I always mention the Earth will notice an asteroid on close approach, just after it missed us. I predict it every year, haven’t been wrong yet.)
3) Act Locally, Reject Globally! Global warming, global economic action, global justice, global revolution, etc etc will all become rather unpopular. Replacement terms for similar thinking will be encouraged: ‘Multi-national’, ‘Encompassing’, ‘Borderless’, something of that sort. But while “nationalism” won’t be embraced, “Globalism” will begin to see itself spurned.
1) Germany’s AfD will get so many votes in the februari election that the only possible government will be a CDU-AfD one
2) The Dutch government will not fall in 2025
3) The Ukraine war will be over before the end of 2025, with an unconditional surrender by Ukraine’s military. Zelensky will start a government-in-exile in London
