[John Albert]

1. Some guy in Europe with do something that will make front page news.

2. A famous celebrity couple will divorce.

3. Prince William becomes a father.

4. There will be a major scandal in the NFL.

5. The political divide in the US will continue throughout 2012.

6. The 2012 election will bring changes to the House of Representatives. Several congresspeople will lose their jobs.

7. There will be storms in the gulf coast area from August through October.

8. A popular TV show will be cancelled due to high costs.

9. The Kardashians will lose their TV show.

10. A much-beloved celebrity, perhaps Kirk Douglas or Mickey Rooney will die before December 2012.

11. Nancy Grace will be outraged by the murder of a young blond woman with an "A" in her name by an older male, who will be caught and have the letter "M" in his name. She will bring vast amounts of attention to the crime via her television show.

I see what you did there.

Very nice!

I predict that the world will not end in 2012.

2012 doomsdayers will move their goalposts due to a new interpretation of calendars.

Yes, my prediction is also that it will be followed by 2013.

 

[Mike!]

1. Science will at last harness the power of the hairball. It could solve the worlds energy problems, but everyone finds it just too, "gross". Plan is scraped.

2. The 2012 election is a tie and goes into a sudden death playoff.

3. December 21, 2012 will come and go with nothing major, or even minor happening. "Did we say 2012? How silly, we meant 2036! Yes, 2036, when that big rock, Apoptart is gonna hit us. Yeah, that's the ticket." Loony Tunes world wide turn their sights on 2036, and the next count down begins.

4. More books are written. Some are good. Most are bad.

 

[Sherlock]

TV psychic Noreen Renier's current [and real] 2011 appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit will be lost, which will mark the highest level court to rule against a "psychic" [Renier is currently designated as a "psychic" in the current court filings] in the history of the United States. The only higher court is the Supreme Court. It will of course also mark the highest level "win" between a psychic and "skeptic" [as currently designated in the appeal] in the history of the United States. Though the litigation does not deal with the paranormal, it does reference and describe both parties as "skeptic" versus "psychic".

Let´s get serious with the predictions. _Real_ prophesies, from supernatural sources, are not like what have been written above. _Real_ prophesies are like this:

A star from the East [compared to some reference point on the planet] will rise against its enemies.
Many will suffer greatly, but I will protect the faithful. [Some of them, at least.]
After sorrow there will be joy. After sorrow there will be joy. [This is a verse from the Koran.]

 

[Tomtomkent]

By coincidence I found some lost writings of Nostradmus:

Pestulance will stalk the land on a grey steed, and many will hear the calls of madness.

A storm in the east will ignite the sacred olive tree and the man from the land of fish shall dance.

The child of the river shall wear purple and walk north.

England shall lose a testmatch with India, but win the ashes. You might want to put a cheeky fiver on it at Ladbrooks.

A great Prince will kiss the hand of the clowns daughter as asps do circle.

Ok ,maybe not REAL predictions...

 

[Dave Rogers]

Okay, here are mine:

The latest winners of "The X Factor" will have the most incredible year of their lives, and appear on next year's series telling everybody how wonderful it was. However, one of the other acts will actually be more commercially successful.

A new reality TV show will be aired in primetime, but ratings will be disappointing.

Leaked Home Office documents will trigger a minor political scandal culminating in the resignation of a Cabinet member, who will later rejoin the Cabinet in another role.

Inclement weather conditions will paralyse the UK rail system and lead to several road closures, despite the fact (as pointed out by several commentators) that far worse weather passed without incident recently in Norway and Sweden.

A poorly judged remark by Jeremy Clarkson will cause nationwide offence, and the resulting outcry will last at least three days. He will not be sacked from presenting "Top Gear" as a result.

These are well tried and tested predictions by now, having come true every year since I first posted them in 2008.

[Spektator]

1. A scandal will derail Newt Gingrich's candidacy in mid-spring.

2. Look out for a stormy spring--many tornadoes will cause widespread devastation.

3. I see an innovative approach to personal computing/tablet technology. It will be cheaper and more versatile than the IPad.

4. Famine in parts of Africa and Asia, connected with both weather conditions and political turmoil.

5. Mickey Rooney's final movie appearance will turn out to have been in "The Muppets."

6. A minor brouhaha will result from a TV ad with partial nudity.

7. The rich will get richer.

8. DNA, photos, movies, whatever--some people will still believe in bigfoot without justification.

9. Web loonies will take in the gullible.

10. At least one case of a missing child will be tragically resolved. As usual, psychics will have provided absolutely no help at all.

 

[George 152]

There will be earthquakes in Christchurch New Zealand.... unfortunately..
Now it's been said the earthquakes will stop (I hope)

 

[MG1962]

You wont be able to get a hotel room in London between July 27th and August 12th

 

[Brown]

A few more:

14. There is a person who has been discussed often on this Forum. That person will suffer a serious misfortune, and some members of the Forum will demonstrate Schadenfreude.
15. A controversy will surround an exhibit at a major museum.
16. The biggest crime of the year will take place in California, but the biggest crime will not be the crime that involves the greatest sum of money or that produces the most victims.
17. An unforeseen economic crisis will threaten China.
18. Another near-Earth object will be discovered less than a month before it makes a close pass by Earth, and it will pass well within the orbit of the Moon.
19. A major scandal will surround a well-liked public figure.
20. Canada will anounce that the penny will be phased out.

 

[demonunderyourbed]

bigfoot will not be found
people will still say it cant be a suit
numerous pics with pointless coloured lines will posted

 

[freedy]

2012 will pass as quickly as 2011 and I'll say "bloody hell! Is it Christmas already?"

 

[Montag451]

Something bad will happen somewhere which will then prove to have been predicted by Nostradamos and the Bible Code after it has happened, cos that is real prediction, honest

 

[Beerina]

The 2011 thread is here Post Your 2011 Predictions Here.

Now it is time for us to peer at our crystal balls or tea leaves or tarot cards or whatever, and make some predictions for 2012.

My predictions are

4. USA elects new President.

Interesting -- you don't think the US will elect a used president?

 

[rjh01]

Interesting -- you don't think the US will elect a used president?

That is right. The president who wins will never have been President of the USA before.

 

[Montag451]

There will be a major earthquake in the Pacific region and it will occur adjacent to a highpoint in the lunar cycle.

Don't say that, I hate earthquakes. Peru had 7.9 and it scared the pants off me. Anything up to a 5 is quite fun

 

[chuck4842]

1. Accusations of voter fraud in the Iowa caucus, leading to protest and videos of police brutality.
2. Stricter copyright laws.
3. Another strong eathquake mid-March directly under Fukushima leading to the swift evacuation of Tokyo.
4. Putin will resign.
5. Global economic collapse.
6. Unexplained massive birds, fish deaths.
7. Sudden food shortages, followed by disease and pestilence.
8. Violent tornadic weather
9. WWIII

[Soapy Sam]

There will be some signs of economic recovery up until the business with the asteroid in April.
After that, not so much.
