Grim view of global future offered in intelligence report
AP ^ | 04/09/2021 | AP

WASHINGTON — US intelligence officials are painting a dark picture of the world’s future, writing in a report released Thursday that the coronavirus pandemic has deepened economic inequality, strained government resources and fanned nationalist sentiments.

Those assessments are included in a Global Trends report by the government’s National Intelligence Council, a document produced every four years. This year’s report is designed to help policymakers and citizens anticipate the economic, environmental, technological and demographic forces likely to shape the world through the next 20 years

And, of course, the AP will most probably claim that things will improve greatly under the intellectual and moral leadership of Slow Joe and the HO.

US intelligence officials should be optimistic about the future. They got rid of the source of the world’s problems, Donald J. Trump, didn’t they? /sarc

The goal is one world government. The manufactured crises are covid and climate change.

Stealing elections does not count as a concern—if you are an elitist plutocrat.

Right now the people with a lot of money are long time politicians and people in big business. The elite want to remove those in big business. Castro, Hitler, Stalin don’t count when they figure income inequity.

Paper is just part of the manipulation. They just might get what they “want”.

If every “rich” person or person in power was viewed as a threat then where can they go and who can they trust?

Armies and guards that are bound by money and not true loyalty are fickle and not to be trusted. Any populace ruled by an iron fist will eventually become the opposition as oppressive and violent as those in power.

I’m sure that all the BLM and Antifa crowd are lining up to join MARSOC, SEAL, Delta, etc.... all those that want free sex changes and political power are usually POGs and who will the “rulers” use to enforce their rules.

Well, we can see now.... the paycheck patriots. The alphabet federal praetorian guards will gladly kill unarmed civilians, old men, kids, women etc..... but they’re worried. They are like a dog that chased a car and latched on to the bumper.... now what are they gonna do with it.?

With respect to the NWO and with the help of the US Congress and their criminal cronies to make China the dominant super power and of course China initiating the COVID-19 pandemic, I’d say things appear to be going according to the NWO criminal’s plan to usher in a world reset.

Fear porn. Who wrote it? What age and what education? How do they lean and how are they motivated?

Sounds a lot more like opinion than analysis and even the latter is suspect.

a dark picture of the world’s future...deepened economic inequality, strained government resources and fanned nationalist sentiments

1) "Economic inequality" in "the world" is the order of nature, and is beyond the ability of governments to alter.
2) Governments spend too much and do too much, "straining" their resources is a good thing.
3) A rise in nationalist sentiments is a good thing, and I look forward to more of it.

The world economy is getting more inter-connected by the day.

Any depression will be world wide in scope.

They are going to forecast 20 years out?

The weatherman has a hard time telling me what tomorrow’s going to be like.

“There’s a 50% chance of rain tomorrow, which means there’s a 50% chance it won’t rain.”

“There’s a 50% chance that in 20 years, aliens will land on earth and eat everybody........or maybe not.”

US intelligence officials are paid to produce excrement, and boy do they produce it.

The intelligence agencies have access to more and better raw data than at any time in the history of the world—and they are rock stupid—proof that raw data and usable information have nothing to do with each other.
