10 Threats Facing The U.S. By The End Of 2015

1. An ISIS Terrorist Attack on US Soil

To be honest, I wonder why it hasn’t happened by now.

I think it’s a fairly decent chance that we will see the NEXT 9/11-like terror event this year.

After the Islamist terror attack (May 3rd) on a ‘Draw Muhammad’ free speech event in Garland, Texas, one man’s arrest revealed a wider conspiracy on U.S. soil. The federal grand jury indictment of Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem included claims that persons known and unknown participated in Arizona on planning and practices for the attack–indicating that a terror cell affiliated with ISIS is active on U.S. soil. (Source)

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-MI) warned:

“I guarantee you: this is a problem that we will have to face and we’re either going to face it in New York City … These are not monkey bar terrorists out in the desert somewhere planning some very low-level attack. These are sophisticated, command and controlled, seasoned combat veterans who understand the value of terrorism operations external to the region, meaning Europe and the United States. That is about as dangerous a recipe as you can put together.”

FBI Director James Comey estimated a few months ago that the number of foreign fighters traveling to the region has grown by a few dozen since the start of the year.

Some experts even believe that we won’t even be able to retaliate against the next terrorist attack. And for a good reason! Related: ISIS Has Just Set Foot on American Soil (Video)

2. Russia Attacking Romania and Poland Over The Missile Shield

Romania poland missle shield1Russian General Nikolai Makarov, Russia’s most senior military commander, warned NATO that if it proceeded with the American missile defense system in Poland and Romania, force would be used against it:

“A decision to use destructive force pre-emptively will be taken if the situation worsens. […]  The deployment of new strike weapons in Russia’s south and northwest – including of Iskander systems in Kaliningrad – is one of our possible options for destroying the system’s European infrastructure,” he said. (Source – Telegraph)

The Missile Defense in Europe will be completely finished in 2020 and has four phases.

The problem is that in 2015 is the most important phase (phase 2). According to the White House: “deploying a capable version of the SM-3 interceptor (Block IB) and sensors, to expand the defended area against short- and medium-range missile threats by the end of 2015”

How do you think Putin will see this? What happens if Russia bombs our capacities?

3. A North Korean Cyber-attack on U.S. Critical Infrastructure

north korea unit internetDid you know that hackers could kill?

“North Korean hackers are capable of attacks that could destroy critical infrastructure”

…a high-profile defector (Prof Kim Heung-Kwang) has warned. In an interview with BBC he said that North Korea now has over 6,000 trained military hackers.

While Prof Kim did not teach hacking techniques, his former students have gone on to form North Korea’s notorious hacking unit Bureau 121.

He added that unit Bureau 121 are targeting Western nuclear power plants, transportation networks, and electrical utilities. “If all of this happens, North Korea is going to destroy the basic units of civil society, and we need to react strongly to prevent this”.

Earlier this year, the South Korean government blamed North Korea for a hack on the country’s Hydro and Nuclear Power Plant.

I think it’s just a matter of time until we see their next attack… possibly 2015. If the attack is successful this time, we might see the next Chernobyl here in America.

I just hope they are smart enough not to mess with us. But on the other hand, probably nobody will ever know who/what caused the attack.

4. Drought-stricken California Collapses Together With Nearby States

Drought in Cali: expanding from 2011 to 2015

California is not the only state in the West facing water supply issues. Oregon and parts of Washington, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma and Texas are also affected.

The Colorado River Basin, which supplies water to Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Diego, has also been in a drought for more than a decade, and the river basin’s aquifers have been declining too.

Once that irreplaceable groundwater is gone, that is when the real crisis begins. Don’t think that people will die of thirst. This will never happen. But it will plunge the US into an economic crisis that will affect us all.

And if NASA is right and all the South-West and Pacific regions are going to face a 100 years-long mega-drought, then there is no solution.

5. If the Nuclear Deal With Iran Fails the US Could be at War

It is absolutely clear that the deal failed to satisfy almost everybody. And for a good reason.

The only benefit of the Iran nuclear deal is postponing or eliminating a war with Iran.

Some expert believe the Iranians are dead set on getting a bomb. It’ll be hard to stop them peacefully. A nuclear-armed Iran would be a major threat to the Middle East, and the US military is now capable of overpowering Iran’s armed forces in a straight fight. Even Obama knows it.

A number of influential foreign policy analysts, have openly endorsed military action as the best possible way to prevent Iran from getting a bomb. (Source)

They believe the Iranian government is unshakably attached to its nuclear weapons program and will never abandon it willingly. Therefore, the only way to keep Iran from getting a bomb is to destroy its nuclear facilities.

“The Iranian regime will not abandon its 30-year project,”…

…Reuel Marc Gerecht, a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, writes.  He added:

“So the U.S. will face an unavoidable choice: accept a nuclear Iran or launch a pre-emptive military strike. Since the former is unacceptable, proponents of this view say, the latter is the best option.” (Source)

6. The USA Debt Balloon Finally Bursts, Flushing the Dollar Down the Toilet

There has been so much attention on Greece in recent weeks, but the truth is that Greece represents only a very tiny fraction of an unprecedented global debt bomb which threatens to explode at any moment.

There are 24 nations that are currently facing a full-blown debt crisis. There is a huge possibility that we’ll see the next countries collapsing in 2015.

“Right now, the debt to GDP ratio for the entire planet is up to an all-time record high of 286 percent, and globally there is approximately 200 TRILLION dollars of debt on the books.  That breaks down to about $28,000 of debt for every man, woman and child on the entire planet.  And since close to half of the population of the world lives on less than 10 dollars a day, there is no way that all of this debt can ever be repaid.  The only “solution” under our current system is to kick the can down the road for as long as we can until this colossal debt pyramid finally collapses in upon itself.” (Source – Michael Snyder)

In US – debt stands today at a staggering $18.15 trillion — equivalent to about $56,531 for each and every American. And it’s expanding! When will this bubble burst?

7. An Armed Confrontation Between North Korea and South Korea that can Lead to an All Out War

north korea south korea attackThe world’s most militarized society, with a total of 1.21 million active duty personnel, North Korea has the 4th largest army in the world, after China, the U.S., and India…. And they’ve got nuclear weapons.

Every year there are small confrontations that can spark a war with global consequences.

In 2010 a South Korean naval vessel was sank by a North Korean torpedo. Out of 104 sailors, 46 died and 58 were rescued.

That same year, North Korea’s artillery fired at South Korea’s Yeonpyeong island and South Korea returned fire. With a little luck this didn’t turn into a war.

In 2011 it was revealed that North Korea abducted four high-ranking South Korean military officers. There are 480 kidnaped South Koreans still being held today.

In 2012 North Korea violated the ban on ballistic missile tests launching their first satellite.  The United States moved warships to the region.

In 2013 – an extreme escalation of rhetoric by the new North Korean administration under Kim Jong-un and actions suggesting imminent nuclear attacks against South Korea, Japan, and the United States:

“Provocations will not be limited to a local war, but develop into an all-out war, a nuclear war.”

In 2014 a crashed North Korean drone was found and onboard cameras contained pictures of the Blue House and military installations in South Korea. In 2014 another two similar drones were found. Other nuclear threats followed.

With such a belligerent country who knows what can happen? North Korea will never miss a chance to win a war for “national reunification”. Just give them the chance.

And don’t forget North Korea’s main weapon: China! Which is growing day by day … just like the US debt!

8. Nationwide Spreading of MERS Disease

MERS is a viral respiratory illness that is NEW to humans (originated in bats).

It was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and has since spread to several other countries. Most people infected with MERS-CoV developed severe acute respiratory illness, including fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Many of them have died. (40% death rate)

By July 2015 the disease has spread to South Korea where there were over 175 reported cases -confirmed by the World Health Organization and around 35 deaths.

Few people know this, but recently we had two isolated cases in the United States. Both patients were lucky enough to be treated just after they arrived from abroad carrying the diseases.

9. An Asteroid will Come Close to Earth on September 24 2015 and Will Actually Hit Us

asteroid earthSince 2010, Reverend Efrain Rodriguez has promoted in videos and interviews his belief that this forthcoming disaster has been divinely revealed to him. He claims that he had a divine vision that the Earth will be hit by an asteroid.

“God showed me a large rock, an Asteroid, entering the airspace of the town of Arecibo in Puerto Rico, and exiting Mayagüez, heading to the ocean. This will be at 2am. This rock will be making impact in the sea between the island of Mona and Mayagüez. It will hit an active earthquake fault found in that area of the Caribbean, causing a very strong 12 point earthquake that has never been seen. 12 degrees means the Presence of God on the Earth.“

The tsunami and a earthquake will devastate the eastern seaboards of the USA, Mexico and central and southern American nations. Thirty million lives will be lost in the month after the impact, and 40 million more are destined to die from plagues and in civil disorder in the following seven months.

I – personally – don’t believe predictions unless they are very obvious or there is some science to back them up.

Fortunately, the prediction is not confirmed by NASA. There is no known asteroid heading towards Earth in September. But the predication cannot be completely dismissed, since we cannot monitor all the asteroids coming towards Earth.

10. ISIS Expands its Borders to Other Countries. It Already Began!

Islamic State’s plague has stretched across the Middle East and into northern-Africa. It has conquered regions of Iraq, Syria and recently Libya and Egypt while building a terrifying support structure in Turkey, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Tunisia and Algeria. And this tyrannical expansion is all part of its global strategy to seize control of destabilized countries while engaging in all-out battle against the West.

The truth is that, because nobody stopped them, ISIS has name brand power now. And for this reason their influence will rise and rise and even more people from more countries will join.

AL-Qaeda’s most powerful branch – in Yemen – recently defected to ISIS according to US monitoring group SITE.

It would be very unfortunate but very probable to see by the end of this year a much, much larger ISIS.

    Given the lack of true US Leadership in the world, with the failure to provide consequences for actions, no surprise that we’re threatened by so many countries.
    Let’s not forget the hacks from China…though actually, we’ve made China the economic powerhouse it has become by effectively “moving” so much of our manufacturing to their shores.

    But the weak, or Cloward-Piven, leadership represented by Obaa and enabled by the wusses in Congress, iis what causes the majority of these scenarios.

    IF we can make it to 2016 and have a strong “strengthen America” leadership in place in 2017, there is a chance we can stop and start to turn the Ship of Sate around. Otherwise….yeah….so many apocalyptic movies come to mind.

    Of course, we do have to get through this administration, though I don’t put it past it to declare Martial Law to obviate resistance.

    We see it their continued attacks on citizens instead of criminals..from taxes to gun restrictions/elimination.

    Hoping for a good 2017 but preparing for a bad one.

    I take issue with #9, how ridiculous is it to base such things on “divine vision”. All the rest seem logical but unfortunately the article loses validity with the “vision from god”

    Ahhhh….number nine. I think we have all had enough of these predictions…they are giving true revelations a bad name. As to the others…I don’t know. Deception rules and the Prince of this present world is working overtime….but we know who wins.
