Published February 12, 2026 | Video Starts at 18:13

I have no timetable for these particular predictions, but just in case, keep them around and look at them in five to 10 years, let's hope and pray that I'm wrong on all accounts. Ron Paul predicts massive credit expansion before the global financial crisis. This is six years before 2008. He predicts the inevitable expansion in both military adventurism and domestic police powers. He predicts that both sides will support this. (18:13–18:19)
