CIA Experts Accurately Predicted Future Events in 2000 Report

Sifting through hundreds upon hundreds of declassified documents that have been released via the CIA 25 year review can really make for some interesting reading.

One of my favorite document types that I like to read through are the periodic “trend” reports, where CIA experts attempt to predict what the world may look like over the coming decade or so.

I like them, because they help to gauge whether or not those experts were truly accurate in their predictions, or whether they were just blowing smoke.

I came across just such a report during my research this week. It was a report released in December of 2000 titled “Global Trends 2015: A Dialogue About the Future With Nongovernment Experts”.

According to the authors, the paper came from information and viewpoints expressed at numerous conferences held at places likek Georgetown University, the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, and of course the CIA itself.

So what’s so special about this report?

The truth is, after reading the report from the front page to the last, I realized that the authors of this report got at least five predictions true about what the world would most likely look like in 2015.
