US Urges IRAN To Become 'Productive' Member of The World

This has to be the funniest statement yet from the new Secretary of State Mdm Hillary Clinton. Of course I would expect more of such statement/s shall come out from her ( click here). What would you expect of the biggest bully who pretend they still rule the neighbourhood.

What does she mean by 'Productive'? Kow towing to the whims and fancies of the US, Israel and EU? Stopping all nuclear related activities regardless as to whether it was for peaceful purpose or not? Stopping all missilles development? Stopping sending sattelite into orbit?

The Iranian government has the responsibility to protect itself from outside threat and it has the responsibilty to develop itself to the best of her ability. The Iranian government need to protect its people, its resources from outside plunderer. That is a productive goverment. If they don't, the fate of Iraq awaits them. This they fully understand.

The US government should stop pretending that they are the 'beacon' of freedom and democracy. This is one government that never respect freedom and democracy. Not if it not according to their wish anyway.

There are so many documented misadventure of covert operation carried out by this rogue nation to takedown lawfully elected government all over the world that is not toeing their line, including in Iran.

Iran has also been accused of sponsoring terrorism but the biggest sponsor of terrorism is the United State itself. The biggest irony is that they have unleashed untold amount of horror and terror in the name of war against terror (click here). But yet the consider it just and justified.

They blame religion extremist who killed in the name of GOD yet they have President who heard GOD voices! and now they are going to teamed up with GOD chosen people to send second wave of global war on terror (click here).

Mdm Secretary is fully aware that the most unproductive and the most destructive country in the world is the country she is representing.

Belang UMNO,PKR dan PAS sama sahaja

Pergolakkan poltik mutakhir ini, yang melibatkan PKR dan UMNO sebenarnya mununjukkan semua ahli politik, baik berideologi nasionalis, sosialis atau agama sebenarnya sama sahaja. Ideologi tersebut tidak lebih hanya 'platform' untuk bermain politik sahaja. Bila terdesak belang mereka semua terkeluar dan akhirnya belang UMNO, PKR, DAP dan PAS sama sahaja. Maka rakyat merhaen yang beriya-iya menjulang sepanduk pun terpinga-pinga.

Aku menjangkakan apabila Barisan Rakyat dapat memerintah beberapa buah negeri ada perbezaan yang nyata dari segi dasar dan pendekatan akan dibuat bagi menunjukkan atau bagi membuktikan asas ideologi mereka. Pemerintahan yang adil dan saksama, telus dan tidak merugikan negeri atau rakyat. Pentadbiran dimana rakyat bukan sahaja boleh memberi maklum balas tetapi maklum balas diambil kira dalam pentadbiran.

Pentadbiran dimana tidak dibezakan pengundi sama ada pengundi BN atau BR. Tidak ada unsur balas dendam, unsur rasuah atau apa-apa sahaja yang mereka kritik semasa pemerintahan BN dahulu.

Tetapi tidak sampaipun beberapa lama belang sebenar mereka telah terserlah. Bahawa belang mereka dan belang BN adalah sama. Aku berikan beberapa contoh;

1. Terdapat satu bentuk 'silent rule' bahawa semua kontrak kecil di semua majlis perbandaran perlu lah diberi kepada syarikat 'Bukan UMNO'. Aku dapat tahu perkara ini ketika berbual dengan seorang 'broker' (Ya..mereka pun pakai broker beb, macam UMNO). Dan mereka punya cara tersendiri untuk memastikan bahawa samada syarikat yang berjaya adalah milik orang UMNO atau tidak.

2. Tahu tak mereka bahawa banyak pemilik syarikat yang kononnya milik UMNO ini mengundi pembangkang semasa PRU 12 dahulu? aku kenal banyak pemilik syarikat sebegini, yang turut berkempen untuk PKR. Satu contoh nyata ialah satu syarikat katerer kesukaan Dato' Zulhasanan Rafique yang selalu dapat bisnis katering UMNO Setiawangsa berkempen untuk PKR sewaktu PRU yang lepas.

3. Dizaman BN dahulu tidak terdapat syarat mesti syarikat UMNO untuk dapat kontrak. aku kenal ada banyak pemilik syarikat yang pro PKR/PAS dapat kontrak/projek .

4. Pemimpin Barisan Rakyat juga makan komisen! tak percaya? aku cedok sedikit dari tulisan MSO

Yang menghairankan kenapa untuk pilihan raya kecil melibat PKR boleh dibantu tetapi tidak dengan Pas? Mungkin pemimpin ini bebas menggunakan wangnya. Namun beliau kena ingat beliau berada di kerusinya sekarang ini bukan kerana orang PKR yang menyokong tetapi kerana orang Pas menyokongnya. Wang 'komisyen' yang dipunggut dari berbagai sumber itu tidak akan hadir kalau bukan kerana kedudukan itu.

selanjutnya klik disini -tajuk posting Terkenang Kuala 2

Jadi kesimpulannya belang mereka semua sama, tidak ada ideologi yang membezakakan bila tiba bab wang dan isi perut. Berak mereka tetap busuk...

Ada yang sanggup dicucuk hidung asal dapat jadi MB, ada yang dulu berkobar-kobar bila berbicara tentang kepandaian mentadbir syarikat korporat sekarang tergagap-gagap bila ditanya tentang penyelewengan yang dibuatnya.

Mungkin benar penyakit -penyakit ini berasal dari UMNO, tetapi takkan orang-orang yang mengaku menentang UMNO kerana penyakit-penyakit ini sudah terjangkit?

The Arab Regimes have Lost the Plot in Gaza?

There is something wrong with this scenario - Recep Tayyip Erdogan walkout in disgust from Davos Econmic forum concerning Israel brutal Occupation of Gaza (click here) and Teheran and Kuala Lumpur call for Israel to be tried for war crimes ( click here). The are no such call or statement from Egypt, Saudi or Jordan - the prominent arab countries surrounding Israel.

I mean the arab will never get along with the Turks and the Parsi. They never will. The irony is that it took a turk and the parsi to voice up their grievances. The arab leaders are no where to be heard. I mean even if they are afraid to anger their masters in Washington, they should at least show some semblance of protest but what we heard is just a distant thunder and thats it.

I mean we muslim, especially from around this region ( South East Asia) look to the arab with awe. So impressed are we that some of us sent our children to the the middle east to study and some cameback more arabic than the arab themselves!.

I think the muslim look to the arab for leadership and inspiration, and generally The Saudis are look upon as the most influential since they are the guardian of the two holy mosques. Unfortunately this sort of leadership are not forthcoming. They are perceived as under the thumb of the American and the American are the puppet of the zionis.

It amaze me that Israel, being a small country with just a few million people can bully and bulldozed the more resource rich arab into submission. They are so well organized that their intelligence appratus can be so powerful that they are able to organize or dictate event in their enemies teritory. Is it because of superiority of the Jews or Inferiority of the arab?

It is also true that with just a few million people, they can come up with technologies even the american and the russian has to catch up. I dont think it has something to do with religion because at one point in the world history, the world went to Baghdad to study science.

It is also very much amaze me that the Saudis perceived Iran as greater threat than Israel. They would rather have nuclear Israel than nuclear Iran!. I mean if Israel went into war with the Arabs, Mecca will be among the first to be nuked! Teheran will never do that.

One wonder why God sent so many prophet to that region and one also wonder as to whether they need another prophet to show them the way.

wallah hu 'aklam.

Another gloomy outlook for 2009

It seems that the economic tsunami pounding us in 2008 is not about to take rest. It seems that its going to gather strength to form the real giant wave that will eventually going to hit our shores.

What we are facing is global economic meltdown, unless you are holed up in a cave somewhere in Myanmar or Afghanistan where life is more or less the same whether the economy is up or down, than its going to affect you.

Present event formed future trend so said Greald Celente . He went further to predict that the the fear of 07 turned to the panic of 08 will turn to the collapse of 09. Meaning the whole thing has yet to peak and maybe 2009 we will hit the cresendo where things will unravel. What exactly are the full effect of this are not known.

Major bancruptcies of US retail businesses are expected by february 09. The side effect of this is the collapse of US commercial property sector which will be bigger than sub prime fiasco. The US and Japan auto maker are struggling to stay afloat. The economic giants is stumbling and failing. Even with its multi trilion stimulus package, there is no way they can afford to pay to stimulate themselves (click here).

So guys, on the homefront,we are looking into up to 10-15% unemployment. We have 60,000 young people entering the job marke every year and about 2 million unemployed immigrants with nowhere to go .When you have millions of people lying idle, who have nothing to do and nothing to lose , that is where the nightmare shall begin.

Kematian Didalam Lokap perlu dihentikan.

Aku tidak menafikan kerja kepolisian merupakan satu kerja yang tidak pernah berkesudahan dan penuh dengan cabaran. Aku juga tidak menafikan polis merupakan satu cabang pentadbiran negara yang penting untuk memastikan kesejahteraan rakyat dan keamanan negara. Sebagai rakyat Malaysia aku bersimpati dengan tekanan dan kekangan yang di tanggung oleh pihak polis dalam menjalankan tanggung jawab mereka. Polis DiRaja Malaysia telah cukup berkorban untuk kepentingan negara.

Namun begitu, dalam menangani tugas kepolisan pihak polis perlu lebih berhemah dan tidak terjerat dengan tekanan kerja sehingga berlaku kecuaian dan kematian didalam lokap. Didalam zaman dimana banyak teknologi tersedia ada serta peralatan yang canggih, kaedah untuk mencungkil maklumat ( information extraction) dari suspek tanpa melibatkan kekerasan fizikal perlu diguna pakai.

Kita tidak menuduh kematian A. Kugan adalah disebabkan oleh anggota polis, itu tugas mahkamah untuk menentukan punca kematian, tetapi hakikat banyak kematian (terutama yang melibatkan etnik India) didalam lokap telah menjadi satu persoalan yang sukar diungkaikan tambahan dengan sikap tidak berterus terang atau dengan alasan yang lemah sebagai punca kematian telah menyebabkan pihak polis dipandang dengan sikap tidak mempercayai terutama oleh etnik India dan Cina. Hakikat bahawa PDRM dipenuhi secara majoriti oleh etnik Melayu telah menebalkan jurang perkauman. Jika kita melihat komen-komen di alam maya ini, kita dapati komen-komen ini lebih cenderung bersifat perkauman dan kebencian.

Kita percaya bahwa satu bentuk pembaharuan perlu dilaksanakan untuk mengelakkan pihak PDRM dari terus dituduh dengan tuduhan liar dan bersifat rasis. Kredibiliti PDRM yang selama ini ampuh ;-), perlu terus dipertahankan kerana sebagai penegak undang-undang tanpa mengira bangsa dan agama, rakyat Malaysia tidak punya banyak pilihan selain dari PDRM yang telus dan saksama.

Kematian adalah satu perkara tragis kepada mana-mana familipun didunia ini. Kita tidak hairan jika kematian A.Kugan akan dilihat dari perspektif kesedihan yang teramat oleh famili dan masyarakatnya. Sekalipun A.Kugan merupakan penjenayah, kematiannya harus dilihat dari perspektif yang wajar oleh kita semua.

Cuma yang bakal menjadi masalah adalah apabila ada pihak yang menangguk di air keruh. Menjadi pejuang dan hero kepada masyarakat tertindas kononnya.Dan inilah yang akan menjadi punca keresahan masyarakat dan beban kepada pemimpin negara. Jika sekiranya pihak polis dari awal bertindak dengan prihatin dan sikap belas ehsan, ini semua mungkin dapat dielakkan. Aneh sekali pihak polis yang bersungguh-sungguh mempertahankan kerajaan sedia ada, bakal menjadi punca kepada kekalahan di pilihanraya!.

Troubling prediction by Top Trend Spotter

As if we are not in enough trouble already, here is one spine chilling prediction from Gerald Celente.

Trend Alert: Israel War To Ignite World War III

Gerald Celente – Pak Alert Press January 16, 2009 Israel’s invasion of Gaza sets up the United States and any other nation supporting Israel as terror targets, predicts Gerald Celente. The Trends Research Institute Director also warns that should Israel continue the invasion, or take the war beyond Gaza, the world risks both a 1973-style oil shock and global conflict. “Regardless of whose side you take, what you believe in, who did what to whom and when this is just the latest chapter of ‘Crusades 2000′,” said Celente, who coined the term in 1993 and has written about it extensively. Yet, unlike preceding Crusades confined to the Holy Land, the trend seer says the current violence will spread globally. (See “Crusades 2000,” Trends Journal, Fall 1993; Trends 2000 Warner Books 1997; “Crusades 2000,” Trends Journal, Spring 2006.)

Armed and DangerousWorld news sources report a Middle East up-in-arms and seething at the lopsided Israeli massacre that has left over 1,000 Palestinians dead, thousands wounded, and Gaza in ruins. In comparison, three Israeli civilians and less than a dozen Jewish soldiers have been killed; scant damage has been inflicted on Israel. The incessant US media and government message focuses on Israel’s “right to defend itself” while minimizing or ignoring the long sequence of Israeli provocations leading up to its invasion while also failing to cite the real tally from the preceding mutual hostilities.

In the months prior to Israel’s December 27th attack, homemade Hamas projectiles fired into Israel killed no one. (Over the past several years prior to the invasion, 13 Israelis were killed by rocket fire. Between 2005 and 2007 alone, the Israeli Defense Force killed 1,290 Palestinians in Gaza, including 222 children.) Also largely absent from United States war coverage are the contributing factors Palestinians claim precipitated their primitive Qassam rocket launches into Israel. Chief among them, Israel’s 18-month starvation blockade of 1.5 million impoverished Palestinians squeezed into densely populated Gaza (described by the Vatican as “a big concentration camp”) and Israel’s pre- invasion assassination of six Palestinian officials.

According to the Geneva Conventions, the United Nations, the Red Cross, Human Rights Watch and other government and NGOs, Israel’s response has been both disproportionate and illegal. Among the condemnations, Israel’s military has been accused of firing white phosphorus artillery packed shells on civilians. The UN special envoy for human rights accused the Israeli army of ” committing a shocking series of atrocities by using modern weaponry against a defenseless population - attacking a population that has been enduring a severe blockade for many months.” For its part, since the onset of hostilities, the United States had prevented approval of a UN Security Council statement calling for an immediate cease-fire. And when the United Nations Security Council voted for a “durable and fully respected” cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, “leading to the full withdrawal” of Israel’s forces from the Palestinian territory, the US abstained from voting. (The New York Times reported that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert “placed a phone call to President Bush” and that “Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice had been forced to abstain” from the UN resolution.) “Major trends are brewing that if not quickly corrected or stanched, will lead to disaster,” Celente forecasts, citing fears among Israel’s neighbors that they could be the next victims.

“Throughout 2008, reports had been circulating that Israel was planning a military strike against Iran’s major nuclear complex at Natanz, and The New York Times all but confirmed it on January 11th,” Celente said. “While President Bush has made scores of disastrous foreign policy decisions during his reign, he should be congratulated for turning down Israel’s request for specialized bunker-busting bombs needed to take out the nuclear facility.” An attack on Iran by either Israel or the US will spark the onset of World War III, predicts Celente. “If oil producers sympathetic to the Palestinian cause cut the flow of oil, or if they cut supply in fear of being the next Israeli target, the world will go from a terrible recession immediately into the ‘Greatest Depression’,” Celente said. (OPEC used the oil weapon in the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, embargoing the US and other countries who sided with Israel.) Beyond escalating economic dangers, Washington has placed itself in terror’s bulls-eye Celente said, pointing to last weeks US Senate and House passage offering “unwavering commitment” for Israel. “Today, we reaffirm that Israel, like any nation, has a right to self-defense when under attack,” said House speaker Nancy Pelosi. “The rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza, which were increasing in frequency and range, constituted an unacceptable security threat to which Israel had a responsibility to respond.” Should Washington continue its “unwavering commitment” to Israel while taking direct measures to destroy Palestinians, Americans should also be aware that those left standing will seek revenge, Celente said. “News reports of US supplied ships bringing munitions to Israel to be used against Palestinians, and Israel’s claims that the UN school they shelled killing some 50 civilians was the fault of a US-supplied weapon malfunction will not be forgotten by those seeking revenge,” said Celente.

Trendpost: Stay abreast of ongoing Middle East developments.Assess them by weighing the facts and gleaning the truth lurking behind the propaganda smokescreen. Should an oil embargo ensue, product scarcities will cause frenzy buying of food and fuel. Gold prices will spike, the dollar will crash and global panic will most likely break out.

The Prediction of 2009 -Pravda.ru

The New Year, dear readers, will not be a good year. We are living in the proverbial Chinese "interesting times" and 2009 promises to do its best to keep things "interesting." So on with the show.


Russia
There will be scattered protests and some will turn violent as the economy worsens. The government's plans to sustain industrial production, in the heavy industries, and to weaken the ruble and implement high tariffs will have the desired effects of keeping the nation from all out recession. Inflation will continue, though at a smaller pace, due to the overall global deflationary manner. Over all, the Russian economy will prove one of the strongest in the general world collapse.


The Russian military will continue to rebuild, as part of the government spending programs to keep heavy industry going. Weapon sales will also increase as wars and tensions spread due to the crisis.


The Anglo-Marxist drive to start a new Cold War will only increase and monies spent on "democratic" initiatives will increase. This will cause Other Russia to be emboldened enough to create more spectacles for Western financing and consumption. Eventually one or two will turn very violent and there will be deaths. The Russian government will label the National Bolshevik Workers' Party as a terrorist organization and arrest its leaders. The NBWP will turn to actual terror and there will be a small home grown terrorist threat throughout Russia. In general, the government will launch a major drive to clamp down on the skin heads. Gary Kasparov will flee to America where he will become rich making anti-Russian speeches and creating new anti-Russian hatred in the Anglo-Marxist sphere.


The demographic upswing will also suffer with fewer births, requiring more spending by the government to encourage people to continue having children. On the plus side, the inflow of the diasporas will increase, as conditions outside of Russia deteriorate and Russophobia spreads in the Anglo-Marxist sphere.

America

The new year is going to bring major suffering to the US economy and society. On the one hand, the Bank Panic of 2008, started in and by America, will continue to ravage the recessional economy. On the other hand, large swaths of the American demographic, who voted for Obama, are expecting miracles that the US government simply can not provide.


As industry after industry lines up for government handouts and large scale money printing to meet those demands escalates, the depressionary bought will, by mid year, turn into a raging inflationary bonfire. Savings will disappear over night. Add to this continued mass layoffs that will reach another 2 to 3 million people, and an unofficial unemployment rate of 15%+ (official US statistics are so doctored as to make them worthless), a series of wars that will continue to drain lives and treasure and the dashed hopes of tens of millions and the US is in for a very hot and horrid summer.


Demonstrations, riots and looting will break out in various sections of the country, hardest hit by the collapsing economy. The government, which in the US has a history of using draconian tactics once violence starts (or as in the case of Seattle in 1998 there was no need for violence for the police to unleash hell on peaceful demonstrators) will lead to casualties and an escalation of tensions. The US army's North America command will be called in to affect areas, forcing martial law and gun confiscations.


By late summer, early fall, the foundations of the Civilian Defense Corp will be laid down. Echos of the Waffen SS anyone?
On the international front, the US will continue its imperial hubris, though maybe with a little more of a kinder face, but do not bet on it. Europe's disappointment will come fast.


Mexico

Mexico will face complete collapse as a nation. With the US economy in free fall, tourism drying up, masses of uneducated peasants returning or being returned from the US, a raging drug war throughout the north and a Marxist insurgency in the south, the Mexican government will face mass unrest, military coups and revolts and ultimately a full failed state status.
Violence will escalate to unprecedented levels and will spill over the northern borders into America. This may actually justify a US incursion, though the Americans will be hard pressed to find enough troops to do this.
South America


The major economies of south America will go through a lot of turmoil and suffering but should maintain relatively stable states. This is not their first time going down this road. Regimes will fall and change and by mid to late 2009, a low platue will be reached. The main nations to watch out for are Columbia and Venezuela. A simmering border war may flare up into a full scale conflict. However, since both now have military contracts and agreements with Russia, Russia should be able to keep the violence to a minimum.

UK

The economic collapse in the UK will continue a foot with the US. Rights of the citizens will continue to be usurped by the state and all pretenses of civil rights will disappear after the Islamics in the city center start to agitate and push out through direct violence all remaining British nationals. England will start to look a lot like Sweden with the cities owned by the immigrant Islamics and the refugee locals forced to pay the Islamics' welfare.
Once the majority starts leaning to the hard right and violence starts to break out between the military Islamics and the ultra nationalists, the UK government will drop all pretenses of the citizens rights and clamp down with martial law. Welcome to the Police State. If the public does not rise up at this point, the UK is lost.

To keep the audience nice and fearful, look for the British powers to escalate a Cold War with Russia, at any cost.

Spain
Spain will have elections and a center right government will win.

France
France will have early elections and will take a hard left turn. However, the Islamic ghettos will be blocked off as violence escalates. Watch for more socialist ordnances forcing businesses to hire more workers, whether they need them or not.


Italy
Ethnic cleansing of the gypsies and Islamic Arabs will pick up pace. The vigilante outfits will be nationalized, rather than just ignored by the police. Whatever tolerance there is now, will evaporate as the economy of Italy continues to shrink and there is less money to share between unemployed Italians and welfare immigrants. Italy will take a hard right.


Germany
Germany will continue moving to the right in politics. It's conservative economic stance and banking, along with a robust manufacturing industry will set it as a stable center of the EU. Watch for Germany to take on prominence like never before in Europe.


As Germany's economic stability, or relative stability, holds the EU together, the EU's economic policy will start to reflect the German desires and the Euro will finally attain a single unified strategy, that of Germany, who will not broach a US competitor in the EU.
Two things will grow from this. One Germany's relationship with fellow manufacturer and oil/gas producer Russia will grow. From this and the German desire to lead Europe, friction between Merkel and an imperial Obama will also grow. US attempts to undermine EU (thus German) economic links to Russia, through the use of Poland and the Baltics, will be noted and despised by the Germans as a whole. Germany will work hard to side line and minimize a collapsing Poland.


Poland
As its economy collapses, Poland will become even more of a puppet for the US regime. It will work hard to undermine EU efforts to expand relations with Russia. However, Poland's moment is past and the Germans, along with help from that moronically named "Old Europe" France and Italy, will work hard to side line and minimize Poland as a whole in the EU. Though the Poles will not be kicked out, their economic freebies by the EU will be put under threat until they shut up and sit down.


At the same time, sky rocketing unemployment, already higher than 15% (the average standard in Poland) will undermine any government strength.


Baltics
Look for total economic collapse from the Baltics, much more so than anything the IMF will be willing to fund. Estonia and Latvia will continue taking a hard turn to racism against their very large Russian minorities. This, by the middle of the year, will break out into serious violence. Russian tanks will be on their borders and the EU will move quickly to shut them down, even as the US will attempt to sacrifice the pawns to cause a heat up of it's new Cold War. In the end, Estonia and Latvia, in 2009, will more than likely collapse into absolute anarchy and possibly failed states.


Lithuania is more stable and will take a more neutral roll. It will work closer with both Germany and Russia and will thus maintain a more stable, though still struggling economy. It will be faced, though, with a major influx of economic refugees from its two failed neighbors.
Balkans


For the Balkans as general, look for war in 2009. It will start with increased violence against the EU and NATO in Kosovo from the drug cartels who run the failed statelete. With NATO on the retreat in Afghanistan, split over Russia, Serbia will finally take the move to re annex Kosovo and drive the KLA and Albanian mafia out of the region. This will be sparked by KLA Islamics starting more terror in southern Serbia and the threat against the Serb minority there.
The domino effect will be fast and furious.


Once NATO steps aside and does nothing to loose yet more troops to the Serb army, the signal will be clear. The KLA will flee into Greece, Macedonia and Albania. In Albania, they will destabilize the already weak government and the state, by the end of the year will be in the process of collapsing. Macedonia will find itself once more mired in a civil war. This time, though, a weak US will not be able to stop Macedonia’s neighbors from arming the Orthodox Christian state against the Islamic-Narco insurgency.


Greece will also find itself with an active Albanian insurgency, on a much higher level than the few violent incidents scattered so far. In the end, Greece will eject its Albanian workers and may even be drawn actively into the collapsing Albania, if for no other reason than to protect the 25% Orthodox Albanian minority.


In Bosnia, Srpska Republic, using the Kosovo standard, will declare independence and ask to return to Serbia's borders. This will of course reignite the Bosnian three way civil war, for which all three sides are ready. NATO will attempt to stop the deterioration but after several violent incidents, member nations will withdraw their troops or remask them as UN observers.
Croatia and Serbia will meet once more on the battle field of Europe as Bosnia is equally flooded by a new wave of Arab and Pakistani Jihadists.


Turkey
Turkey 's economy will continue to crash as with everyone else. It's exports will not be in demand and will lead to large scale lay offs. The ever more Islamized government will finally lead to at least one military putsch to replace them with secular powers. As conditions deteriorate, the Kurds will relaunch an active insurgency, which will also strain Turkey's resources since it will need to be further interjected into Iraq's Kurdish north.


Ukraine
Ukraine 's economy will continue to collapse and the Western puppet Oranges will continue to bicker and feed off of the suffering of the people as they maneuver for power against each other. The crisis point will come this spring, when no obvious economic turn around will be on the horizon. Ukraine will more than likely split in two. The east/south will become a close satellite of Russia, while the west will struggle on. Whether this is peaceful or violent will depend directly on how much the West stays out of this.


Georgia
Unbelievably, Saakashvili will continue to cling to power through the first half of the year. Under Washington's prodding, in early spring, he will relaunch the war and than be removed in a coup by his former allies. Moscow's response will, more than likely, be to not stop until Tbilisi. What will follow next will depend on how strong Russia feels, how weak and slow the West's response is, but annexation is not out of the question.


Israel
Israel will face a protracted series of wars on its borders, primarily in Lebanon and Egypt's Sinai and Gaza. Syria will also attempt to start one in the Golan Heights but this will pitter out. Olmert will finally be put to pastor, in a nice jail cell as he stands corruption charges. Netanyahu will more than likely be president, and being a pragmatist, he will take a much closer position to Russia, as Washington's influence falls. Russia will be pressed further to stop sales to Arabs of weapons, in exchange for Israeli loyalty and investments.


Iran
With a continued economic down turn, Iran will be rocked by riots. Whether the mullahs stay in power will be yet to be seen. The nuclear power plant will start, no one will bomb them and no nuclear weapons will be developed. The US will continue to threaten with its military but these threats will be ignored by everyone, as hollow.


Iraq
Iraq will continue to grind on, from crisis to crisis, not quite in a full civil war and not nearly in any kind of peace. One or two car bombs a day will continue to be the norm. The US will start 2009 by flexing troops to Afghanistan. The drop in numbers will not last long as fighting will quickly escalate and the units will have to be returned. In other words, the American quagmire is going nowhere as is Obama's promise to remove troops in 16 months.
Turkey will be forced to intervene more actively in Kurdistan, which will bring more instability to the region.

Afghanistan
Afghanistan will become a NATO disaster, one big enough to possibly finally split the old Cold War club. The southern supply routes will be unreliable at best, downright a disaster at worst, running through Pakistan. Many NATO nations involved will be forced to sign contracts and agreements with Russia. The US' drive to get Georgia and Ukraine into NATO will be further blocked by nations such as Germany, who has the foresight to understand it needs Russia not only for economics but also for the survival of its troops in Afghanistan.


This of course will further alienate the US puppet NATO/EU "New Europe" states such as Poland and the Baltics.


As a whole, NATO control over the southern and central portions of the country will collapse. The northern warlords will also switch their loyalty to their traditional allies: Iran, Russia and India. Afghanistan's government will control little more than the main cities and even then it will be a state of constant terror and siege.


By the middle of the year, it will be obvious the war is lost and NATO member states will start a mad scramble to get their troops out. Only the US and British will remain.


Pakistan
Pakistan will fall into an all out civil war, loosing control of much of the country side. The question of the safety of its nuclear weapons will be a prominent headache for the world but nothing real will be done. At least one border war will be fought with India and will be declared a draw by the weak Pakistani authorities. The economy will continue its down ward spiral and the flight of talent will only accelerate.


Militants will begin to launch brazen attacks throughout the cities and the military will be mostly in a garrison, circle the wagons mentality. Some military strikes on militants will be carried out but will not solve the problems.


Khyber Pass will be ultimately cut off by insurgents on both ends, making Afghanistan an even bigger debacle.


India
India will continue to suffer from business flight, as demand continues to crash. It's geographical isolation from the main centers of commerce will further hamper the situation, as fewer maritime transports are plying the sea lanes. Continued tensions with Pakistan and continued Pakistani and Maoist terrorism and violence will further damage the business environment.
Over all, India will suffer like any primarily exporter nation, but she will come through relatively sound, with fewer internal divisions than many nations. Look for a broad border war to start by late spring, with Pakistan. After initial gains, India will bog down into a prolonged series of battles. Under massive external pressure and internal pressure and the cracking of Pakistan, both sides will make peace. India will claim all out victory, though most of its objectives will not be met and Pakistan will claim victory because it averted total defeat.


China
China is in for an era of major instability. The 100,000+ factories that closed in 2008 will be followed by as many in 2009. The Chinese domestic consumption market is just to small to suck up more than 20% of the production it presently has. China will be further weakened by the hyper inflating dollar. Friction will come between China and America in late summer, when it will become obvious to China that the US is hyper inflating its way out of the US debt that China holds, making its investments worthless. In response, China will nationalize all US factories on the main land.


This act will at once bankrupt dozens of US companies and further crash the already chronically ill American economy and it will force a trade war on the US that may force it to bring some production back in, once the equipment can be replaced.
Either way, look for US/Chinese relations to be down right hostile by the end of 2009. Internally, China will suffer much instability and rioting, as hundreds of millions of unneeded factory workers are forced back into their dirt poor farming villages. Luckily for the Chinese authorities and no so luckily for the citizens, extreme violence is always a top option for China's authorities ad will be used often and to effect.


Japan
While Japan's export base economy will suffer for the same reason the rest of the world is suffering, Japan still retains a strong, well educated and affluent society. Along with strict cultural cohesion and a high rate of savings, Japan will maintain much of its wealth. Protectionist measures have secured most of Japan's industry inside of Japan.
This, coupled with the weak US, will prompt Japan to recreate, albeit without war this time, a new Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, drawing into it's orbit various other local nations. Through 2009 there will be polite friction, as Japan pushes US influence out of central Pacific rim and south east Asia. As the dollar falls to hyper inflation, the Yen will be seen, by the second half of 2009, as the standard barer of Asian stability and success and will come to replace the dollar as the dominant power in that portion of the world.


Japan will see Russia as, at once, both a key energy supplier and trade partner and as a competitor to Asian domination, though a minor competitor. With China ripped by strife, Japan will have a free hand in Asia.
