A house of cards is an amazing thing to behold, one small puff of wind and the whole thing comes tumbling down, this is the true state of the world economy in 2012. Secretly, the world economy has been orchestrated to fall so that the majority of wealth flows in the direction of those who pull and are attached to global powers. The sad truth is that within every nation there are individuals in power who have chosen to sell out the wellbeing of their fellow countrymen for the crumbs that fall from the global table. It is unfortunate that none of these pawns will obtain the fullness of their ill-gotten gains. Each one is used to their fullest potential to further the global agenda and then cast aside and exchanged for an even more useful and willing pawn who will continue the game. In 2012 some leaders who held sway and influence will suddenly find themselves the victim of scandals, setups and overthrows. In the end they will regret the choices they made as the plight of the people becomes their own.

Latin America was not shaken as badly as the rest of the world during the financial crisis of 2008 due to strong fiscal policies and prudent structuring of its economies. Latin American nations have been watching the fiscal debacles of the U.S. and Europe and are wide awake to the fact that the U.S. dollar is poison to developing nations. They have learned that the continuous printing of fiat dollars by the Federal Reserve causes further devaluation of the U.S. dollar. What this means is that their fellow citizens pay more for things such as food and fuel. Those Latin America countries who use the U.S. dollar as their current currency are now looking for ways to ditch the dollar and create their own currencies. The leaders of these countries could very well find themselves in the middle of western backed uprisings such as what happened with the Arab spring of 2011. You can expect to see many Latin America countries further severing their ties with the U.S. dollar and influence as they seek global recognition and prosperity among their own.

Europe’s relationship with the global elite is like a giant spider. The global elite sit centrally atop like a horrendous body while the legs are the connections to the many nations of the European Union. In 2012 will see the European Union fall further into economic chaos with the only viable solution being the one that the global elite want which is consolidation of power and economies. Europe will face devastating consequences for its inactions and failures surrounding sovereign debts. Regardless, the European Union must brace itself for another recession in this year. On the extreme side of things it could very well see sovereign defaults and exits from the Union that could make matters even worse.

The United States will experience negative shockwaves within its economy due to its inability to solve job, debt and revenue issues. The current path of inaction and political posturing is making the situation worse and the continuation of corrupt monetary policies and practices is unsustainable. Yet, the United States has the necessary leadership, intelligent technocrats who can solve these issues but this would require losses among the wealthy elite. Unfortunately, the political and economic system is determined to keep away those who might hold true solutions in favor of those who will perpetuate the problems. Before the end of 2012 the United States will see another recession or a deeper recession as the first one never ended. During 2012 the U.S. and Europe will also be the target of a secret attack from China. While other nations toy with technological weaponry and new combat strategies and practices, China is busy building a new kind of army that engages in secret electronic warfare. In 2012 they will begin to attack Western corporations and disrupt government operations. In the political arena, you will see President Barak Obama re-elected for another term.

Asia will also feel the impacts of the European and United States economic recessions but it will still remain a dominant force and challenge to the global economy. China will be challenged economically in 2012 while coping with the change of leadership in North Korea. The passing of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il marks the end of an era. All eyes will be on North Korea to see which direction the new leader, Kim Jong Un will go. You can expect to see North Korea align itself even more closely with China creating a powerful bloc. When working with other nations North Korea will follow the practices of China, do not look for a warm partnership with the U.S.

One of the biggest electoral events in Europe in 2012 will take place in France. President Nicolas Sarkozy will have to wage an impressive re-election campaign for his next term. Sarkozy will have to face against formidable opponents, the socialist-lite, François Hollande, centrist, François Bayrou, and the far-right, Marine Le Pen. Eurozone crisis can either make Sarkozy or break him in the upcoming elections. His re-election hinges on the outcomes of the European crisis. Hollande will be the clear winner of the coming elections but there is the high possibility that it will be stolen by Sarkozy.   

In 2012 you can expect to see some stirrings of serious conflict between China and India. There is a complex dynamic secretly at work behind China’s coming aggression towards India. It will be a bold move that effectively serves multiple global purposes. China is becoming bold in its aggressive goal to become superior throughout Asia. Furthermore, China feels threatened by the growing partnership between India and the U.S. one side and the unsettling relationship on its other side between South Korea, Japan and the U.S.  Sudden U.S. interest in the South  and East China Seas is also disturbing China as it sees the U.S. attempting to create a circle of influence around it. In 2012 the U.S. and Europe will feel the brunt  of China’s new found path to supremacy through its new $300 billion sovereign wealth fund which is moving away from European and U.S. bonds and seeks to acquire real assets. Instead of paper bonds, China wants something more tangible in return.

In 2012 Vladimir Putin will receive what he asks for and win the Russian presidential elections in March. Russia will fall into chaos and confusion and Putin’s new victory will be short lived as he faces rejection by the Russian masses. Brutal domestic clashes between Putin’s regime and opponents will take place. This year of 2012 will mark the beginning of a new era for Russia in which it sees the faint glow of a Russian Revolution being born.

In 2012 the Arab spring will continue as we see another round of protests in countries such as Algeria, Egypt and even Libya. But most interesting is the fate of Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad. Unlike the other ousted autocratic rulers, Bashar is the key to stability in the Middle East. Any obvious western involvement in Bashar’s fall will be the catalyst that further unites the Arab world against western intrusion in that region. Bashar’s fall will rally the likes of Hezbollah in Palestine, Hama’s in Gaza and the Sunni minority in Iraq who are now under attack again. The fate of Bashar is to be watched closely. In Pakistan the time will be ripe for a military coup. Afghanistan will not change it will continue to be a problematic thorn in both the U.K and U.S. side. Troops will begin to leave in 2012 but not without problems.
