The Seed of Peace and Prosperity In 2009.

The AP reported a Senior Hamas leader in Syria as stating, " We need our liberty, we need our freedom, we need to be independent." That cry and the worlds outrage will in my opinion signal the effort of the Obama administration to bring peace to the region by way of the Oslo accords.

My opinion is this battle will rage and when over both sides will seek peace. The door will be open and the peace will come. The Jews will give land for peace and will get for themselves their right to worship in a new Temple. It will take place in stages with a cease fire and then the formal signing sometime up the road.

Now with that peace the walls around Israel and the West bank and Gaza will be taken down. That peace will usher in a period of prosperity and growth and the worlds economic problems will all suddenly vanish. People will be open to free trade, alliances, treaties and all that will be accepted and applauded.

Now in my opinion the events for the first 6 months of the New year.

1- A continued deterioration in the economy of the world and certainly the same for America. For them the American dream is gone never to return.

2- Pensions, health care, other benefits in serious trouble impacting the retired and elderly significantly.

3- Israel will remain a hot front page issue.

4- More bail out money for auto makers, banks and investors.

5- Foreclosures rising significantly as many more fall into trouble with Credit Card debt, lost income, no jobs, low wages, reduced pensions and heath care coverage.

The last half of the year will see an improvement to some degree for the middle class but things will remain bad until the following can seep into the economy. Keep in mind at all times this improvement has little to do with the lot of Average Americans who are not in the equation at all. Some crumbs filter down but not much else. Hey you Union workers who voted for Obama, watch. So what can those that have look for?

1- Tax breaks allowing some middle class to catch up.

2- The new Credit Card law enacted for June 2009 will save some, but not those already in trouble.

3- Infrastructure Plan to rebuild America will be close to done if not already and it will cost between 600 billion and a trillion of all our money. Yet it will put many back to work.

4- Peace with Israel and the Palestinians close to completion if not just waiting formal signature. I suspect early 2010 after months of haggling.

5- Comprehensive Immigration passed to be followed closely as a real possibility with The North American Union being enacted. In fact I think most Americans will be ripe for it.

6- Universal Health Care passed.

7- Things looking up as our tax dollars start to put some back to work so the government can start to tax them. The media will start their indoctrination about this time.

8- A new stimulus package not tied to tax dollars will help the upper middle income Americans and a few borderline average Americans.

9- The New World Order economic plan unfolds with currency also an issue. I look for those in 2010 as well.

10- With the peace in Israel the economic tide will turn economically in 2010 and into 2011 and 2012.

PS: if you want to look at the worst predictions of 2008 go on line. I used Yahoo. You might laugh if it wasn't so sad a reality.

PS: as of 3 PM today the experts echoed my predictions.
