A Few Predictions

 

We have had a dark four years, since 2020. But there is every reason to believe the worst is over, and the dawn is breaking again. You can see it everywhere. 

Trump takes office January 20th, but his election has already obviously changed the mood. The sane among us now are filled with energy, and the forces of darkness and confusion are on the defensive. 

Poilievre is likely to assume power by about March, following closely on Trump. Some worry he is secretly too moderate, different from the WEF crew only in rhetoric. But even if this is true, events will pull him along. Trump has yanked the Overton window right into the next room. Milei in Argentina is setting the pace, showing what can be done. Trump will want to do whatever Milei has succeeded in doing, and one-up him. Poilievre will need to maintain his street cred by matching them. There will be a general rush now to get further right before the crowd does, just as for years there has been a rush to the left.

This can certainly go too far, as the movement left did, but we have a lot of ground to make up before that happens.

Meantime, the culture is also healing. Disney and other woke corporations and advertisers are tanking. Prominent people are converting to Christianity, and Catholicism, at an accelerating rate. Awkward that at the same time the pope is an apostate, but it may be that the US leading world culture. Francis may fall in line, being firstly a politician. Or he may be moved to resign. The next conclave may find it urgent to choose someone unimpeachably orthodox. This seems to me likely.

I predict an end to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. I predict that the Trump tariffs on Canadian goods really will be imposed. They will be lifted after negotiations with a new Canadian government. I predict that Trump will not occupy the Panama Canal Zone, but will negotiate a much-reduced passage fee for US vessels, and protections against Chinese influence; perhaps the US will return as a joint operator. I predict that, at least by the end of his administration, he will have managed to buy Greenland from Denmark. I predict that mass deportations will become the norm across the developed world; and doors will be shut pretty tight on further immigration. I predict that “climate change” will lose its constituency; those lads have cried wolf too many times.
