http://jonasroel.com/joomla/content/view/40/36/The democrats will have a complete victory during the November elections and will be in charge of the presidency and both houses of Congress. All that remains to see is if they will live up to their promises. The citizens of this country will seek this change because they're tired of governmental abuse and in particular the fact that there has been no change with regard to the war in Iraq. So this would indicate that the people would like to see a return to normalcy and not the continual stress of the Iraqi war and this nebulous war on terror. Peace movements should increase as this will be the will of the people.
Issues involving children could come to the fore during these six months. Perhaps funds that were going to children will be cancelled or there will be more governmental scandals such as the congressional page scandal of the past or involvement with prostitution or infidelity among governmental officials.
There will very likely be an increase in taxes during the next year. Issues involving real estate do not look at all fortunate and the real estate and mortgage markets will continue to perform poorly. Over the next year it will seem that many more troops will be harmed from combat action so an intensification of combat in the Middle East seems likely and this may very well be why the citizens of United States will want a change of course in that theater of combat.
During this time some statesmen may die but it is impossible to say whom it could be either a Leo, Cancer or Virgo individual (Sun Sign or Ascendant). I prefer not to say who these individuals may be but anyone with access to Wikipedia can search for themselves.
Issues involving prisoners within the United States may reach crisis proportions and the quality of their incarceration and violence within prisons will make headlines this will not be a fortunate time for long distance travel nor for overseas trade.
As far as news reports - remember that at this time the press is very much controlled by the governmental apparatus.
As mentioned in last year's predictions the people will be much disposed to pleasure seeking and incidences of alcoholism and drug addiction will be seen to increase. The quality of American military leadership has to be called into question and neither the rank and file of the military nor the citizenry of this country will have much faith in them. This may also be directed towards the current president's advisers. Perhaps they are over influencing war making strategy and as a result the troops could be suffering and very discontent with senior military leadership. So a change in course is very much needed if victory in Iraq and in the war in terror are desired. For example, many Generals in the Joint Chiefs of Staff seem more like businessmen than warriors. More wariors are needed - warriors who know that politics and warfare must be separate and that there are just some wars that are best not fought.
With this being mentioned it must be stressed that this country does have enemies which seek to harm it. It is very important that the people demand competency and integrity within all police, military and governmental agencies which are in charge of maintaining our citizens safety. It is also very important that these agencies not trust those who they feel our Allies. As they could actually be working on the side of our enemies.
Any future military operations in Iraq must be done with a cynical attitude toward the Iraqi government as at this point in time it cannot be trusted. Other Allies such as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and others must also be dealt with cynically and is my recommendation that in the best interest of our troops the United States act unilaterally and without giving these countries any foreknowledge of military operations, troop movements or emplacements.
By election time, I believe that the lot of the country will not be good. I believe that Barak Obama will be the next president of the United States, and he will completely revamp the military and the war in Iraq and the war on terror. He will do this before April of 2009. However the end of conflict is no where near so I am not suggesting that the country will completely withdraw from Iraq (Think more along the lines of South Korea - a prolonged US presence), but there will be many changes inside of the pentagon. Of course these changes will not at all be popular among the military-industrial complex.
Barak Obama is being viewed by the electorate as an "American Savior" of sorts. As one can expect and as history has shown this can be a mixed blesing. Expect some major tax reforms from Obama. He may even do something so drastic as to completely replace all senior military leadership. Regardless of this, between July 2008 and July 2009 the level of debt within the US will have reached crisis proportions. I think that Obama will not only inherit a mess of a war, but he will have to figure out drastic changes to alleviate the country's economic woes, which will be worse post election - we could either be in a severe recession or worse. The people may very well be all for these changes, as a new wave of optimism could sweep the country - sort of a new American Revolutionary spirit- but this spirit can also have groups that try to split from the "system". So a return of groups wishing to cede from the union may be possible.
The important thing is for all of us to focus on the positive - to pray for the welfare of the earth and all of its inhabitants.
