2012 - Looking Forward

Here is a mix of things that I look forward to (or really hope happen) in 2012 (in no particular order):



* NO WAR IN IRAN!
 OK, this is quite possibly my biggest wish for the world in 2012. The United States and its cohorts (lapdogs) must stop being global bully. The world simply cannot afford this war

* More of Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert weaving their magic against the financial terrorists on the Keiser Report and all over the alternative media

* Wikileaks getting back to its deserved prominence of 2010 - we need them

* Julian Assange beating his extradition to Sweden/ not being found guilty for the trumped up charges against him in that country

* The alternative media going from strength to strength

* A 'two-tier', more corporatist Internet being stopped in its tracks! NO!

* Greece declaring bankruptcy and exiting the Euro - hooray to the drachma!

* Sarkozy losing the French Presidential election - the diabolical Merkozy grip on the EU must cease

* Syria not going the way of Libya

* A weakened military and truer democracy in Egypt

* The continuation and growth of the Arab Spring


* Less madness in Iraq

* Ditto in Afghanistan


* Palestine getting more recognition by the international community

* Israel being less of the apartheid bully state it loves to be

* The continuation and growth of Occupy Wall Street and every other 'Occupy' movement around the world

* Michael Schumacher winning races again in Formula 1 and proving why he's the best ever - go Michael!

* Ferrari winning races and doing a lot better this F1 season - Forza!

* More meaningful and practical international dialogue on climate change

* Less environmental disasters, wherever and however possible

* More medical breakthroughs, especially in stem cell research

* Less conspicuous consumption, less greed - the planet can't take it (I can't take it)

* Less religious fanaticism of all stripes - religious lunacy remains one of the biggest cancers in the world

* More social and political unrest and upheaval in China - it needs it, we need it

* Less stupidity, bad grammar and bad manners, thank you very much!

Those are some of my bigger wishes for 2012.

Oh, and the American Presidential election? Who the hell cares...
