Casey Stengel said, "Never make predictions, especially about the future." He was right. Your poor, old author is going to make some 2015 predictions, and stick his neck out regarding silver and gold. Basically, it's all going to Hell this year.
Gold and silver will go back to their old highs of $1,800 and $49.
Both commercial and residential real estate will keep crashing.
Europe will divorce itself from American more and more due to Russian sanctions. Also the endless war mongering we keep involving them in. Germany will be more and more forced to ally with Russia due to U.S. interference. Eventually they will tell America to remove all military bases from Germany.
Inner city (e.g. ghetto and barrio) violence will increase. Racial tensions will get worse as the media keeps pouring gasoline on the flames.
The police will keep militarizing. The police no longer "protect and serve" in any way, shape or form. They are now Caesar's minions and are there to enforce the totalitarian
state. DHS (Homeland Insecurity) will keep expanding into train stations, bus stations, sports stadiums and even shopping malls.
ObamaCare alone with destroy the economy. The original bill was 906 pages, and not one senator or representative ever read the entire thing. It now has almost 20,000 pages of regulations added. No one on earth has any real idea of what is in it.
Taxes will keep increasing to pay for the welfare state. The standard of living will keep falling and falling until we have the European standard of poverty.
The media will tell people our problems are due to, "too much freedom and lack of regulation". The sheeple will then welcome more laws, rules, and regulations to further ruin their lives, and make poverty stricken slaves out of them.
At any time we could have a truly catastrophic event. This could be a nuclear bomb in a major city. It could be a bank collapse with all the banks shut down. It could be nationwide martial law after a black city like Oakland erupts in violence. Or nothing horrible may happen in 2015. We won't know until it does.
