Welcome To 2025: Goodbye 2024
Congratulations! If you are reading this, you made it to another year. 2024 is now in the rearview mirror.
So let me (maybe) be the first to say to you: Welcome to the year of our Lord, 2025.
There were quite a few big happenings of the year, but overall it was a bit of a sleeper year compared to years like 2020.
2024 will go down as somewhere in the middle of the “happening”-meter: It was active, but not world-shattering. Some events from 2024 could certainly lead to world-altering changes in 2025, but we got through 2024 relatively unscathed. No major economic depression, no major U.S. war, and no Cataclysm X. I would call that a good year.
It’s always good (and fun) to recap the year. So, let’s take a stroll through all the big events of this year. At the end, we will of course make some predictions for 2025. I want to hear your predictions too, so please leave them in the comments.
2024 Year In Review: Major Changes, Preparation For The Years Ahead
Wars and Geopolitics:
- Russia-Ukraine War: The conflict continued into its third year, with ongoing tit-for-tat attacks. Not much changed besides the U.S. provoking Russia even further every month. Thus far, Russia has not retaliated in kind.
- Also this year, Ukraine invaded Russia (Kursk). This was unexpected. Now there are two invasions with this war. The fact that they have held it for so long has also been unexpected.
- Israel-Hamas War: This war’s impact extended beyond the localized region, influencing the entire world, but especially the Middle East. This resulted in the return of chaos in Syria, the (current) retreat of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the (upcoming) destruction of the Houthis (likely at the hands of Trump). This will almost certainly spiral into further violence come 2025.
- This war resulted in the deaths of both leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas. It also showed the depth of Mossad with the Pager Attacks.
- This also led to the collapse of Assad’s regime in Syria.
- Israel promised to change the entire dynamic in the Middle East. They are making good on that promise. The last two places that stand against them are Iran and West Yemen. For how much longer they can do so is anybody’s guess.
- Sudanese Civil War: The civil war that began in Sudan in April 2023 continued unabated in 2024. I have wanted to write more on this one, but have not had the time. This conflict is very interesting and important on the geopolitical front. Many dissidents have overlooked it, myself (regrettably) included.
- Geopolitical Tensions: The entire world stage continues to deteriorate into multipolarity. This is evident in things like the Houthi attacks disrupting the Suez Canal and the fluctuating U.S. dollar power.
- Still, despite these disruptions, the global financial system demonstrated resilience, maintaining stability throughout the year. I think most of us did not expect it to hold on so well. But it continues to do so.
- Global Elections Influence Political Landscapes: Numerous elections occurred worldwide this year, some changing the country dramatically. This includes India, Mexico, and European Parliament elections. One of the most shocking being Mexico.
- Mexico’s Presidential Election: Claudia Sheinbaum, a narco-connected Jew, became Mexico’s first female president. This was a doozy.
- UK General Election & Other European Elections: Voters in the United Kingdom elected a new leader, marking a significant political shift. But that then failed, and now they are crashing again. Big surprise. In fact, numerous European Union countries and other Western countries have had major shakeups even following their elections this year. Places like Germany had their government crash entirely, and places like Romania decided to turn off democracy because the results turned out against the hegemon. The Western World leadership department is currently a madhouse.
Domestic Politics:
- U.S. Presidential Election: Former President Donald Trump was elected to a second term in the White House. He has already cucked out (with many of his Cabinet picks, his VP Vance, and things like H-1B) and he is not even in the White House yet. So this presidency is not looking promising.
- The elites also convicted Trump this year and nearly assassinated him numerous times. So there’s that.
- Here are my thoughts on the election overall: The 2024 Election: Final Thoughts And Six Scenarios.
- President Biden’s Withdrawal From His Re-election Campaign: President Joe Biden announced his decision not to seek re-election, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. This was a completely unexpected turn of events. It was likely orchestrated to let Trump win.
- Congressional Landscape: The Republican Party regained control of the Senate while keeping the House, resulting in a GOP-led everything (Supreme Court included) for at least the first two years. This will be influencing legislative priorities and the balance of power in Washington significantly in 2025. It will allow Trump the sway to do whatever he wants, which is not necessarily a good thing for us on the Right.
- Major Domestic Disasters: Such as Hurricane Helene, will take years to recover from. It was the deadliest hurricane in the continental United States since Katrina in 2005.
Economy:
- U.S. Economic Growth Surprises: The U.S. economy continued to defy expectations of a depression or a crash. In fact, it has largely started to stabilize (or at least started to slow in terms of inflation). I continue to be shocked by the U.S. resilience to our own avarice.
- How long can the house of cards stand? Longer than I expected, clearly.
- Inflation Trends: As mentioned in the last bullet-point, inflation has moderated. It’s not going up as fast. Sure, it still sucks and everything costs a thousand dollars, but it’s not exponentially growing as it once was. 2024 did slow down the inflation, even though it is still trending up.
- Stock Market Performance: Despite some fluctuations, the U.S. stock market experienced significant gains, with specific areas like technology and communication services showing notable growth.
- Again, defying any semblance of a connection to reality. We are on the verge of a major world war, and everything looks fine on paper. Truly incredible. This is one of the reasons why 2024 was such a sleeper. We have just keep peddling along.
- Global Trade/Dollar Resilience: Despite geopolitical tensions and major sanctions, the global trading system created by the U.S. has demonstrated resilience, with it still being the hegemon. Even after using sanctions to cripple other countries, every other major player is still working with the U.S. BRICS is working hard to change that, but we did not see that change in 2024.
Technology and Science:
- Generative AI Integration: Generative AI technologies became more prevalent, integrating into things like search engines, our day-to-day work, and even our cellphones. This is only going to explode more in 2025.
- AI-Designed Gene Editing: Advancements in artificial intelligence led to the design of new proteins for gene-editing applications like CRISPR which I have warned about for a decade now, enhancing the precision and range of human genetic modifications.
- This one is big. Recent developments in December have blown the lid off of this one, too. I anticipate writing an article on these new updates early in Jan, given their severity.
- Bitcoin’s Resurgence (And Other Crypto Shenanigans): Bitcoin’s price surged after Donald Trump’s presidential victory. Other coins and FedCoins are rapidly entering development or being deployed. Digital Dollar is still on the horizon. The Digital Dollar was in test mode this year. We don’t have long now.
Other/Random:
- Ethnics Ram A Ship Into Baltimore Bridge: Just another day in
IndiaAmerica. - Major Terrorist Attack In Russia: 145 people were killed and another 551 were injured after four masked and camouflaged Islamic State gunmen committed a mass shooting and set off multiple explosions at the venue, which caught fire as a result.
- Leftist Pro-Palestine Protests: Leftists all across the world protested against Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians in Gaza.
- I am so torn on these protests. Are they a net positive or a net negative? Neutral? I don’t like the leftists, but they are technically correct about the genocide/ethnic cleansing in Gaza. It’s a wildcard one.
- Biden Pardoned Hunter: We all knew this was going to happen, but it still happened anyway. Criminals cover criminals. Still no bailouts for any Jan 6ers, though.
- Some Healthcare CEO Got Whacked By A Nintendo Character: Unfortunate…
- Notre Dame Is Back: The nationalist icon cathedral in Paris, nearly destroyed by fire in 2019, reopened in December. This was the one of the happiest news stories of the year!
My 2025 Predictions
Global Politics and Geopolitics:
- U.S. Presidential Administration: With Donald Trump’s return to the White House, significant shifts in both domestic and international policies should be expected.
- I do not expect Trump to create peace. Quite the opposite, I think he will start wars. My prediction is that he will come into office “guns blazing”, but unlike in 2016, the United States does not have the goodwill and power necessary for such an approach. I think it will backfire, and we will be dragged into some conflict somewhere.
- I also expect Trump to largely fail domestically. He is already cucking out on immigration with his support for H-1B, and that was the only thing he would likely be helpful with. If we are lucky, he will slightly slow down inflation, but that is not guaranteed and we should not expect a return to 2016 prosperity levels.
- Wars: Ongoing conflicts in regions such as Ukraine and the Middle East are likely to persist, with potential escalations influencing global stability.
- I personally predict a larger war during the first year of Trump’s term. Probably with Iran or, at least, the Houthis.
- I believe Israel will see a great green-light to hit Iran with Trump in office. I would be surprised if the inevitable Israel-Iran war does not start within the first couple of years under Trump while he has a GOP majority in the legislature.
- Also, Trump at the helm nearly guarantees he will provoke China again. What that will lead to exactly, I do not know. But one thing that is odd is how uneventful the Asian front has been this year. The Chinese Problem has been quiet—Eerily so. China has seemingly been shelved as the hegemon deals with the Middle East and Russia. I do not expect 2025 to follow suit.
Economic Developments:
- Global Economic Outlook: Most people seem divided on projections for 2025. While some anticipate a year similar to 2024, others warn of potential challenges. The world continues to hold against my expectations. So I don’t know when the ball will drop. I only know that it will. I do not believe the economic crash will be the first “happening”, but that it will follow other problems like a war. So I am more focused on watching for a Cataclysm X type event. If that happens in 2025, then I would expect a crash to shortly follow. If not, then I imagine we will continue to chug along in our weakened state.
- Trade Policies: The U.S. will certainly adopt more protectionist trade policies under Trump, potentially leading to trade disputes, particularly with major economies like China. This is probably a good thing. The free market sucks and I’m tired of being overrun with Indians and cheap Chinese garbage in the name of slightly/marginally higher GDP.
Technological Advancements:
- Artificial Intelligence: The AI arms race is going to intensify, with nations and corporations striving for breakthroughs that could revolutionize industries and military capabilities. I expect to see AI start being integrated everywhere. It is going to become the new computer—Something that is prevalent in every corner of our day-to-day life. Especially in war.
- The Continuation Into Dead Internet: Because of AI, dead internet theory will expand even more. AI will start to become the majority of articles online. We will also no longer be able to trust our own eyes as AI generates videos, voice, and images with precision.
- Enjoy this time while you can. Once AI fully evolves, we will never have it again.
- Biotechnology: Predictions suggest potential game-changing biotech breakthroughs, possibly leading to significant medical advancements but also getting us closer to the Mark of the Beast. They just can’t stop playing God.
Societal Trends:
- Polarization: Societies, especially in the West, will continue to experience heightened ideological polarization. We will break apart further.
- Personalism in Leadership: A trend towards personalism in leadership will emerge, with individual leaders exerting significant influence over national and international affairs. This has been happening with people like Milei and Trump. It’s only going to worsen. The people love demagogues.
- In the same vein, I expect cults of personalities to continue to rise with people (including dissidents) worshipping the false images presented by certain persons, as we have seen with people like Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard.
- Continuing Descent Into Degeneracy: The culture will only continue to degrade. I don’t know how it is possible, and I don’t want to know. More people will happily put chips in their brain, more incel-type stuff will arise, and the various and multifaceted versions of American idol worship will continue unabated.
Hidden Dominion Specific Predictions:
- The Book: I will finally finish publishing the Enclavism book. I know I have said this for the past two years, but I’ve actually started releasing it already in 2024. So it is happening.
- Find Part 1 here: The Enclavism Book: Chapter 1 – “The Need For A New System”
- Article Schedule Will Improve: I hope I can eventually return to writing five articles a week this year. I miss posting more. My goal is to increase the frequency once I am able.
- Libertarians: For my final prediction, I predict I will continue to make fun of libertarians into 2025 until they upgrade to nationalism.

Great post. I always enjoy when you post these.
What are your predictions on what is going to happen to Syria?
The main risk right now to Syria is the United States and Co.
Turkey and their Jihadist groups seem keen on stopping Israel’s complete powergrab in the Middle East. But if the U.S. gets their way, we will have a lot more problems in the area.
If it were the Leftists exclusively protesting the genocide of the Palestinians, we on the Right should be ashamed.
If they are out there, I sure haven’t found them. All of the more mainstream “dissident” folks sure barely touch on it.
Especially none out in public like the left. Say what you will about them, but at least they are out there doing the legwork.
