| .U.S. to split by 2010? Russian analyst thinks so KGB-trained official's prediction of looming breakup spurs celebrity, scorn By Joel Garreau Washington Post updated 2:01 a.m. MT, Sat., Jan. 3, 2009For seriously predicting that the United States will break into six parts in June or July of 2010, Igor Panarin has suddenly become a Russian state-media celebrity.
Hardly a day goes by without another interview or two for the KGB-trained, Kremlin-backed senior analyst. The clamor in Russia for his ideas is growing, he says.
Panarin's disintegration divination comes complete with a map. In it ...
Alaska goes to Russia.
Hawaii goes to Japan or China.
"The California Republic" — the West from Utah and Arizona to the Pacific — goes to China.
"The Texas Republic" — the South from New Mexico to Florida — goes to Mexico.
"Atlantic America" — the Northeast from Tennessee and South Carolina up to Maine — joins the European Union.
And "The Central North-American Republic" — the Plains from Ohio to Montana — goes to Canada. LINK to full story | |

| Isn't 2010 the year that Rod Steiger and John Lithgow are scheduled to make a joint US-Soviet mission to Jupiter, so we can find out what happened to the Discovery One mission, back in 2001? | |

| Alaska goes to Russia.....First lets take the oil.
Hawaii goes to Japan or China...has to be Japan, half the people there are Japanese
"The California Republic" — the West from Utah and Arizona to the Pacific — goes to China....More like Mexico
"The Texas Republic" — the South from New Mexico to Florida — goes to Mexico...all the jobs are already in Mexico
"Atlantic America" — the Northeast from Tennessee and South Carolina up to Maine — joins the European Union...They would throw them back.
And "The Central North-American Republic" — the Plains from Ohio to Montana — goes to Canada....I'm sure Canda is happy without that property.
We will still be one 2010 and we will be one as long as any of us are alive. | |

I think 4 yrs from now will be interesting. The economy will be doing better but jobs will still be hurting. Not a heck of a lot will change. Who knows where peoples heads will be at. I'm sure gas will be sky high again though. | |

I'm sure gas will sky high again though. Some are already predicting as high as $6/gallon by the end of the year. The price of natural gas will prolly not have a chance to go down before oil goes up again which is too bad 'cause natural gas is what's kicking my budgetary ass right now. | |

I don't notice the gasoline prices too much becaue I take the bus into the city. I only fill my car up about once every 6-8 wks. in the summer I take my bike as often as I can. My son has a gas eating sports car and he likes to drive so I know he is getting hammered | |

I drive much less now so the lower price of gas doesn't do me as much good as it would have done then. | |
