What will happen in the philippines?

Psychic Monte February 23, 2012 at 5:13 pm

Hi Bill

I’ve written about your wonderful country several times in the comments section of the 2012 Part 1 & Part IV blogs like those below so go to that blog to read the rest of the question:

“What I’m seeing is a greater influence militarily and politically involving China to destabilize the economy and political process. I don’t mean to imply that China will overtake your wonderful country, but rather that China will seek to create conflict so that they can influence the people making decisions for the Philippines.

Since the US left Clark Air Base in 1991 on Luzon Island, it’s created a vacuum for China to go into the region as a stronghold for future military strategy.”

In my January 2012 VIP blog I wrote:

Prediction #5: Two more major geological events will befall the Philippine people this year to include several more floods and an earthquake.. ..

Sincerely,
Monte

Asai Gilman October 28, 2011 at 9:01 pm

Hi Monte,

It’s been a while. How are you? Was browsing today and thought to drop you a line. I saw that a person asked about Oahu and you did not respond. What do you think about Hawaii? Any activities? Always trying to be sensitive to what is happening and live without worry. Thinking about going to Big Island of Hawaii for work and last week there was a 4.3 earthquake in Waikoloa. The earth is shaking. Talk to you soon and Aloha, Asai

Psychic Monte October 31, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Hi Asai,

Thank you for your question and heads up on overlooking Bobby’s question, It just got pushed off my comments page when I was answering other questions and I just missed seeing it

The answer is: “I do feel that Hawaii is going to have some problems by 2013 by way of a volcano erupting or more tsunami activity, but at this time I don’t see anything overwhelming occurring”. But I do feel that a major volcano eruption is coming soon that could stem from an earthquake. I’ve written about my concerns for Hawaii in the past and still feel that one island will be flooded due to a storm/tsunami on a Southern island.

Sincerely,
Monte

What will happen in Europe ?

Psychic Monte October 23, 2011 at 11:32 am

Hi,

Europe will continue to experience political turmoil for at least 3 more years and I see more splitting of countries into interdependent unions with some countries being isolated and more conservative after economic reforms are enacted.

It will take at least 2 more years to get most European countries financially stable enough to prosper, but some of them will do better faster than others like Italy, Spain etc.

Sincerely,
Monte

anonymous October 22, 2011 at 4:34 pm

What will happen in France ?

Psychic Monte October 23, 2011 at 11:24 am

Hi,

That’s a loaded question, but France will prosper in the coming years with more International political recognition along with a stronger economy.

Monte

JJ August 28, 2011 at 1:28 pm

What will happen in South Africa?

I see S. Africa rising to be a rich area of the continent again once large mineral deposits are found and bring riches to help those in need.

Sincerely,
Monte
