2013 Predictions for the USA

Ok guys, long story short and I know some (if not all) will flame me for this.
There is an amazing "fortuneteller" around here called Leyla Abdul Latif whose predictions are happening to 99% exact, 5 years in a row now. Whatever she said concerning my country in 2012 happened: From assassinations to economic trends to social events, health conditions, political standings, etc...

As she was going through the region country by country, the ones that will face the most damage are Egypt, Jordan, Iran (partially) and Libya (partially). Things will be better for UAE, Lebanon (partially) and Syria (partially). My country will face a new challenge in 2013, mainly with a natural disaster. An earthquake will hit in the Mediterranean sea and will cause aftershocks in our buildings and so. Few buildings will fall.

As for the US, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Throughout his second term, President Obama won't be able to save the US economy which will turn for the worst ever. Lots of businesses will go bankrupt and the economic situation will become really bad. Protests will occur everywhere in the US and an assassination attempt will be made on President Obama himself.

On the other hand, Gold prices will go up, will surpass $2000 for the ounce.
She also predicted that she will face a serious health condition himself, lol.

Re: 2013 Predictions for the USA

No news there. Since the election of Obama we know that is coming, with the exception of the assassination attempt.
I do wish your country well, Danny. Lebanon has suffered enough.

Re: 2013 Predictions for the USA

I agree Danny. But who has the idea that he wants to save the US from this. The way he has been spending and raising taxes, it will certainly come to pass.

Re: 2013 Predictions for the USA

Bummer... oh well you are morally prepared for this.
As for the assassination attempt, she wasn't really clear if the attempt will be aborted beforehand or it will fail while it is happening.

Re: 2013 Predictions for the USA

Danny with all due respect, Those are vague. We always have natural disasters and no one will just solve the crisis. And I am sure someone will attempt an something stupid. We'll see but lets be honest these aren't very hard to predict.

Concerning the US, yes some are vague. But she was clear that in 2013, Obama will FAIL to resolve the crisis. Meaning that next year things are going to get worse or stable as they are bad now, and no improvement will happen. For the disaster, yes you are right. As for the attempt on Obama's life, that will be new. No attempts ever happened for a while now in the US, so don't you see this as unpredictable?

A lot of time and creative talent went into this. Food for thought... and entertaining. No favoritism here.

Re: 2013 Predictions for the USA

In case you didn't notice...

Happy New Year America! Here is what happened on January 1st 2014:

Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%
Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%
Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%
Dividends tax went from 15% to 39.6%
Estate tax went from 0% to 55%

Remember this fact: if you have money, the democrats want it.
These taxes were all passed only with democratic votes, no republicans voted for these taxes.

These taxes were all passed under the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare
