Today's Flash Back Friday takes us back to Episode 77 from February 2012. Astrologer Linda Schurman feels 2012 is going to be a rough year for all people around the world due to physical and psychological conditions and events, based on a number of configurations. Join Jason Hartman as he interviews Linda, editor and publisher of Soothesayer newsletter and author of What Next? A Survival Guide to the 21st Century, about her predictions for the year and beyond. Linda discusses government overreach with the National Defense Authorization Act, SOPA, and PIPA, our outrageous national debt that is owed to so many countries around the world, the involvement of major financial institutions in governments worldwide, such as Goldman Sachs, the systematic retraction of our constitutional rights, current and upcoming unemployment figures, the demise of the dollar, and a lengthy depression. She also touches on climatic extremes and an increase in earthquakes and volcanic activity around the world, as well as the possibility for a real water crisis.

Jason and Linda also talk about the distinct differences in commodity investments, such as precious metals and real estate versus derivatives and hedge funds, the inevitable encroachment of inflation with the printing presses running overtime, spewing out more and more worthless bills, and the effect of the government’s reaction to our economic crisis. Linda feels that the states will begin taking over legal matters, reinstating state rights. Linda expresses concern about the U.S. involvement with Iran, feeling it is a very dangerous situation. She feels that the Occupy Wall Street Movement will become more cohesive and perhaps form a third political party. She discusses the real possibility for multitudes of emergencies, whether water shortages, earthquakes, glacial melting and the rise of oceans, and advises people to be prepared. But she also feels there will be breakthroughs in energy sources and health during this tumultuous time. Linda’s book, What Next? calls for action by humanity to stop the insanity of corruption, greed, war, and waste and misuse of resources and human life. Website: www.SootheSayer.com What's Next?
