Southeast Asia and the Spread of Falunism (2100-2150)

In 2103, the year of a bitter civil war in the Andamans, another island chain in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives, filed suit in the United Nations to recover for the loss of 1,000 square miles of its territory allegedly lost due to elevations in sea level in the Indian Ocean. As if on cue, a series of volcanoes erupted on the smaller Nicobar island in the Indian Ocean, and on Nias, adding several dozen square miles to both islands, fortunately with little loss of life.

Note: Shortly after this prophecy was made in early 2002, the Maldives, along with the Pacific islands of Tuvalu and Kiribundi announced plans to sue Australia in the International Court of Justice. So this prophecy was close but the date was off by about 100 years. The volcanos have not yet erupted, however.

By 2150, the doctrine of Falunism, which had its origins in the Falun Gong exercise enthusiasts in 20th century China, became the dominant ideology of eastern Asia, replacing democratic governments in Korea, the Republic of Siberia, and several Pacific island nations. These quasi-religious zealots had become radicalized after their group was ruthlessly suppressed by the Communist regime in mainland China in the early 21st century, and their ideology, consisting of a desire for clean living, exercise, purity of diet, the drinking of pure water, and the extermination of those who disagreed with them, became an unstoppable force after it joined with the more militant Lamaists from Tibet. The Lamaists were former Buddhist monks who had themselves become radicalized by contact with Communist rebels during the 30 year long Nepalese Civil War which had ended with the installation of a Maoist government in Nepal in the year 2020.
