"Forget Iran, Iraq, Ukraine, and Syria this is where WWIII will start"
Should the rise of conflicts across the Middle East and Ukraine serve as a warning sign that something much more dangerous is approaching? According to Jim Rickards, the CIA's Asymmetric Warfare Advisor, the answer is yes. In a startling interview he reveals that all 16 U.S. Intelligence Agencies have begun to prepare for World War III. Making matters worse, his colleagues believe it could begin within the next 6 months.
However, what is being forecast is not a war but is a massive US financial collapse leading to 'a 25 year-long depression' which could 'possibly begin within 6 months'. The link provided points to a (I believe) video of a 46-minute American TV interview with Jim Rickards on a program called "Money Morning".
I, as a European, do not know whether this program is highly regarded or whether this is a interview which has already been discounted by many. Indeed, I do not even know when the program was initially aired. I will leave it to the viewer to make his own decisions. It is also worth noting that Jim Rickards is also using the interview to push his book on the same topic.

It's the same thing, except the "climate change" propaganda is far worse, far more pervasive, and far more devastating.
Climate change is real.
As is "Terrorism", pretty much any way you want to define it. Doesn't justify all the wars and horrible laws like the PATRIOT act, but denying that either one "exists" is just myopic.
that pales in comparison to most of New York City and most other coastal cities having to be protected by giant sea walls or just plain abandoned thanks to rising sea levels.
Which is an assertion to some future possibility, likely very far off and likely unavoidable in any case. "Maybe", "could be", and, in fact, as likely to happen in the next 50 years as an Islamic terrorist leveling the entire city with a nuclear bomb. But, you know, "BE AFRAID".
I am a crackpot
