The breakup of the United States was forecast on Art Bell's annual predictions show by a caller who predicted it would take place in April on a Confederate anniversary date because Americans are fed up with the inept administration in Washington. The suggested breakup date is a full year in advance of that proposed by Russian academic Igor Panarin whose article has prompted 76,000 (Google) entries on the Net.
The caller said the most viable (new) country would be in the southeast with its capital in Atlanta. California, he said, would probably go with Mexico, adding that's why "whites" are moving out.
The '08 predictions on Art's show a year ago were overwhelmingly "bonks," except in the financial field. One caller a year ago predicted there would be a financial collapse after the Olympics, another had the DOW to 8,000. I think another '09 predictor had the DOW dropping this year to 7,000 after GM collapses.
