     China will continue to gobble up the world's resources to feed its expanding appetite and this will cause more damage to the environment as the Chinese government is only concerned about its own "interests"and why not? The West's growth was achieved by rapine and devastation of the environment and as Deng said "To be rich is glorious"
    Pakistan is on the verge of collapse and nothing can save it. There is no leader capable of uniting the "ambitions" of the Punjab and the Sind egomaniacs. The world will be severely affected by the instability and the forces of evil and mayhem. operating under the name of religion will wreak havoc. This is the price the West have to pay for supporting a venal and corrupt administration.
     Sierra Leone will suffer another bloody and vicious ethnic war. This will expose the paralysis of Africa's incompetent and self-serving leaders. Most hold power under questionable circumstance, whether it be Nigeria or Zimbabwe. The Sudan will eruprt in gory bloodshed, mainly because the Muslim/Arab North will not give up its claims to the Christian/African South's resources, especially with China playing a SELF-SERVING ROLE. Africa's largest country has always attracted the rapacious, ever since the British" Chinese Gordon" times.
     India's stability is threatened by home-grown crooks.....the politicians who feed off the trough, whetrher it be federal ministers or regional "leaders". There has been a pattern of corruption, which until now, India has been able to weather, but this time it has struck at the heart of the government. Prime Minister Singh has to act speedily and resolutely to stop this virus, which threatens his government. This is especially necessary, given the projected instability in Pakistan. Mischief is in the air and as Arsistotle noted, "in order to deflect attention from problems at home, create external dangers". 
     The economic travilas in Europe will be compounded by the collapse of Berlusconi and Italy's economic facade will be revealed. Germany will be unable to stem the additional demands and this will put grave strains on the Union. especially given the weak governments in France and especiall Britain.
     The Republican rabble in the House will give Obama a great boost. The "just say no Republicans", pressured by the "out of ideas Tea Party" will try to stall actions by Obama. They will be shown to be the " phonies without any ideas except objections to anything Obama", and resort to "empty noises" eg. repeal of the health care law, ( they cannot because the Senate will not go along and Obama has veto power, and by now Americans are beginning to see the real benefits)  and appeals to the atavistic and ignorant, through Talk Radio and Fox. They will be exposed for the charlatans they are, especiall Issa of Califirnia.......his "threat of investigating officials for corruption, ( he is more suited to the Byzantine politics of his ancestral Lebanon). 
.    Locally, we have jiust seen Harper's most recent re-arranging the "deck chairs". The recent Cabinet inclusion has shown the dearth of "talent" of the Ref-Con.....Kent, not Clark, as his latest poster-child on the environment. He is supposed to be a communicator, just because he used to read the news...Wow, such skills!!
