Predictions from JJ

2007-1-9 05:20:00

I've been debating as to whether to make some predictions. One reason is there are some who may put too much faith in what I may say, or be disappointed if I miss a few.

That said, I thought I would go ahead and make some and restate my teaching that it is impossible for anyone to be completely accurate in making predictions - partly because of free will.

I find it amusing when many gurus who claim to be a Messiah of sorts or to talk directly with an infallible god make predictions and expect followers to accept them one hundred percent. Then when 95% of the predictions fail they will glom on to the one that has merit and still claim infallibility. More amazing still, the followers ignore the failed predictions and reinforce their belief that their guru speaks with the voice of God - because one of many predictions seems accurate.

In making predictions I will use the same facilities that the rest of you use and I do not expect to be 100% accurate, neither should you expect it. On the other hand, I'll bet I will be more accurate than others who claim to speak for an infallible God, a master or Zor from the Alpha System.

Fidel Castro will die this year and shortly afterwards relations with the United States will improve. Control over the people will be relaxed and the country will evolve toward a freer society with more capitalism and prosperity.
Venezuela will go the opposite direction and become more communistic and controlled by Hugo Chavez. He will continue in his determination to hurt the United States and will secretly cooperate with terrorists.
Look for more weather disasters this year and more damage by fire.
New England will win the Super Bowl. (If I was 100 percent sure on this I would place some bets.)
There will be a division in the Democratic party because the new majority will seem to have little effect in slowing down Bush in the war in Iraq. The 2008 Democratic convention will be a turbulent affair bringing back memories of the 1968 convention.
Frustrated Democrats who cannot stop Bush will call for all kinds of investigations.
Mit Romney will get the Republican nomination (2008) and Barack Obama will seem to be headed for the Democrat nomination, but Hilary Clinton will work behind the scenes to sabotage him. Watch for dirt surfacing on him - even so he still has a good chance of success.
There are several terrorists attacks planned against the United States this year. We have a 50-50 chance of stopping them.
Watch for tax increases followed by economic slowdown.
I know a breakthrough is coming on increasing exposure of the teachings, but do not know when. I do believe significant progress will be made this year.
The dollar will lose strength against the Euro.
There will be a threat to our foreign oil supply causing us to look more seriously at developing more oil independence here. Some very illogical and impractical ideas will be presented but some progress will be made. Even some environmentalists and liberals will be looking at nuclear energy.
The Oscars:
Best Picture - The Departed
