Mr. Kunstler's annual predictions for the new year. (see full article at bottom for supporting discussion). Here are the highlights:
A Bill of Particulars for 2021
The election is re-adjudicated, fraud subtracted from the tally, and President Trump is declared the winner.
The mail-in vote for the Georgia Senate seat runoff is disqualified as systematic fraud is revealed. Stacy Abrams is indicted for organizing the fraud.
A number of political celebrities, DC swamp rats, K-Street hustlers, media figures, and tech company executives are arrested and charged with serious crimes around election fraud.
The CIA is purged and reduced to a strictly analytical role for advising the executive.
The FBI is likewise purged; Director Wray is charged with obstruction of Justice.
Following the reversal of the news media’s election narrative (and the actual election results), Black Lives Matter and Antifa are loosed upon a number of cities and wreak considerable destruction, but eventually get their asses kicked by federal troops. City mayors who allowed the havoc to proceed are arrested, charged with abetting insurrection, and removed from office pending trial.
Nancy Pelosi replaced as Speaker of the House. Mitch McConnell replaced as Majority Leader.
US Attorney John Durham brings charges against lawyers involved in the Mueller Investigation, including Andrew Weissmann, Aaron Zebly, Brandon Van Grack and Jeanie Rhee. Mr. Mueller is named as an unindicted co-conspirator due to mental incompetence.
A special Prosecutor is named to investigate the Biden family business operations; indictments follow late 2021.
Stock market enters long, deep asset value deflation through first and second quarters and bottom-bounces the rest of the year. S & P falls to 550 range; DJI under 10,000; Nasdaq under 3000. The dollar DXY index falls under 80 by 2nd quarter, 60 at year end. US GDP down by 40-percent year end 2021. US oil production (minus natural gas liquids) down by 40-percent, year-end 2021.
Banking system thrown into disarray due to non-payment of rents and mortgages. Federal government intervenes with direct renter relief payments. Home owners in default are allowed to remain in their houses on provisional basis (which is never reconciled).
Bubonic plague outbreak among homeless of Los Angeles as rats proliferate in their encampments.
Pension funds collapse as broken chain of rent-and-mortgage payments destroy Real Estate Investment Trusts. Federal government forced to organize massive food giveaway programs. Millions enrolled in make-work projects a la the New Deal (some of them of value).
New York City forced to curtail subway service to bare minimum as money runs out.
California Governor Gavin Newsom recalled out of office.
George Soros and several directors of Soros-funded NGOs charged with racketeering and election campaign finance crimes.
General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford are back seeking bankruptcy protection. This time, their assets are sold and reorganized into smaller companies. No bailouts.
Covid virus fades from the scene by 3rd quarter, but economic carnage remains. Huge amount of restaurant equipment sold for dimes on the dollar.
Bitcoin “Hodlers” becoming Bitcoin “Sodlers” as cryptos tank.
“Woke” hysteria evaporates as Americans struggle with desperate reality-based problems of everyday life.
Collapse of higher education begins in earnest as college loan racket implodes. Scores of colleges and even some universities shutter; others shrink drastically in desperate effort to carry on.
Hollywood celebrities apologize en masse for past “Woke” behavior, beg forgiveness from cancel victims and fans. Nevertheless, collapse of the movie industry continues as, post-Covid, Americans desperately seek the company of other people instead of canned entertainments, which they have grown sick of.
Professional sports collapse as business model fails. Impoverished Americans start-up low-cost, local baseball and football leagues.
Twitter and Faceback become public utilities.

Comparative
There’s a fair chance in 2020 that Mr. Trump may find an opening to reduce tensions between the US and Russia, even if he is being repeatedly impeached and the S & P index falls by half.
Nope
One prediction:
The US is going to see the most comprehensive operation in modern history that will purge all traitors from our shores and see them face the penalty (death) deserved for their actions.
This all be done before the close of February. After that, President Trump will systematically dismantle the CCP/Globalist hold over the world before even the end of spring.
Actually, call it more of a hunch.
This is what i want most of all to happen.
Still digesting it, but it's definitely a "doom and gloom" piece.
There's are few things I can think of that would stop this kind of total socio-economic collapse, and that is ensuring Trump is successful in his re-election bid.
It we fail, the U.S. crumbles, and we all know what happens next.
Saved for bullshit metrics
lol
You're right of course. See SWB's post below.
Never heard of this guy but the whole article is amazing! He goes into the whole deal about shale oil and our whole oil production that told me a lot I don't know. Trump brags a great deal about our energy independance but that is coming to an end. I highly recommend reading the whole thing. There are things that I don't think he foresees, e.g. nesara, and/or dimensional timeline change, that would change the paradigm but what he does see looks right on to me. I'm going to buy his book, I'm sure it has some good information for the year ahead.
I've been reading JHK for ten years or more and learned about "peak oil". Glad to introduce you.
Same here. Kunstler sure has come a long way politically in the past year or two!
His shit is is like newspaper horoscopes and he describes mostly the deep-state fuckery we used to have dominate us. Thats all going away. The doomer stuff I think he is wrong in.
I aGree with about half of it. Economy will survive
