#1 his predictions are fun but nonsense. If one is to assume the entire bundle there is no way the Obama is reelected one would happen even with the voter fraud.

#2 We really need to get JUSTICE and Jews4Israel (or whatever it's name is now...) in a no-holds-bared debate. Preferable in person.

I'll buy the popcorn.

#3 This is going to seem wildly off-topic after the spammage is deleted, but what you have here is a fine example of why cousins should not marry.

#4 I begin to understand why Muslims are forever banging their heads on the floor.

#5 And JUSTICE is not capable of understanding why Muslims are becoming apostate at increasing rates. Isn't his life going to be fun when nobody buys oil from the Saudis any more -- it seems theres shale oil for cracking everywhere except the Ummah. It sure looks like that, along with the continued thriving of Israel, is a sign that Allah does not approve of His believers.

It's a good thing JUSTICE's father retired before he was shot down out of the sky over Israel, or out of the sky trying to get to Israel -- that would have been so sad.

#8 My 2012 prediction. Muslims will destroy wealth at a faster rate than ever before.

With Oil shale and other real technologies coming on stream thanks to Islamists getting tied up lobbying against green insanity, the middle east will start to starve.

By 2015 SA, Iraq and Iran are the new Africa.

#10 Bright Pebbles, I agree. I think your time frame depends upon the next election however. a Republican could do it within that time frame, the current occupant would force Canada to do it alone and it might take longer.

#11 1) When you make predictions about certain countries it may help your case if you know how to spell the country (Colombia, not Columbia)

The rest of Galt's "predictions" are either blinding obvious or complete nonsense.

2) My own prediction is that this year will have one day more than usual, will end on December 31 (and not 21st) and that for one sucker who dies ten new ones are born.

#12 With Oil shale and other real technologies coming on stream thanks to Islamists getting tied up lobbying against green insanity, the middle east will start to starve.

The Persian Gulf is the world's low cost oil producer. They will still make fabulous amounts of money at $50/barrel. Shale won't.

#13 Good point g(r)omgoru - in fact they may even be the same person.

#14 The current US natural gas price equates to about $10/barrel oil.

Now all you need to do is start making NG powered cars.

#15 Ahh, but the gulf economies can not run at less than $80/barrel. Thus the horns of the dilemma, social unrest or alternative suppliers. What to do, what to do...
