There is one magazine that represents the interests of the global elite more than any other.  It is known as “The Economist”, and each year it puts out an issue that is dedicated to what is coming in the year ahead.  As we have seen so many times before, these issues tend to be alarmingly accurate.  The reason why they are so accurate is because the ultra-wealthy elite have an enormous amount of influence over the course of human events.  If they are absolutely determined to make something happen, there is a good chance that it is going to happen.  Ominously, it appears that they are anticipating a great deal of global chaos in 2026. The Economist has been around since 1843, but it has never had a very large readership among the general population. Ultimately, it is a publication by the elite and for the elite. According to Wikipedia, it has editorial offices all over the planet but it is primarily based in the city of London… The Economist is a British news and current affairs journal published in a weekly print magazine format and daily on digital platforms. Variously referred to as a magazine and a newspaper,[6][7] it publishes stories on topics that include economics, business, geopolitics, technology and culture. Mostly written and edited in London,[8] it has other editorial offices in the United States and in major cities in continental Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.[9][8] The publication prominently features data journalism, and has a focus on interpretive analysis over original reporting, to both criticism and acclaim. Many of the wealthiest families in Europe are among the shareholders of the company, and Sir Evelyn Robert de Rothschild was actually the chairman from the early 1970s to the late 1980s… Aside from the Agnelli family, smaller shareholders in the company include Cadbury, Rothschild (21%), Schroder, Layton and other family interests as well as a number of staff and former staff shareholders.[37][43] A board of trustees formally appoints the editor, who cannot be removed without its permission. The Economist Newspaper Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Economist Group. Sir Evelyn Robert de Rothschild was chairman of the company from 1972 to 1989. If you want to know what the global elite are thinking, this is the publication that you need to be reading. And the cover for “The World Ahead 2026” issue is perhaps the most ominous that they have ever published… When you look at that cover, what stands out to you? To me, the fact that there are so many symbols relating to war really got my attention. There is a huge red tank on one side of the cover, and another huge red tank on the other side of the cover. At the top there are several large missiles that look like they are ready to be launched, and at the bottom there are more large missiles. Also, right in the middle we see two enormous swords that are crossed. That is clearly meant to symbolize war. Obviously they believe that war will continue to be a major theme in 2026, and that is something that I have been consistently warning about. And they also seem to think that certain individuals will continue to be major players in world affairs during the coming year. Volodymyr Zelensky is clearly visible in the upper right hand portion of the cover. Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu appear to be depicted on the left hand portion of the cover. And just like last year, Donald Trump is right in the middle. On Monday, Trump refused to rule out the possibility of sending U.S. ground troops into Venezuela… Asked if he would rule out US troops on the ground in Venezuela, Trump replied: “No I don’t rule out that, I don’t rule out anything. “We just have to take care of Venezuela,” he added. “They dumped hundreds of thousands of people into our country from prisons.” Personally, I think that this is a trap. If we go to war with Venezuela, a large portion of our military forces will be tied up and our relations with the rest of the world will greatly suffer. And Trump is also suggesting that military strikes in Mexico and Colombia could be coming… President Trump hinted at being open to sending military strikes to Mexico and Colombia in order to stop drugs on Monday, sending chills across the region. The president made the comments during a press conference on Monday as he hosted a meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino and the White House task force on the 2026 World Cup at the Oval Office. “Would I launch strikes on Mexico to stop drugs? It’s OK with me. Whatever we have to do to stop drugs. Mexico is…look I looked at Mexico City over the weekend. There’s some big problems over there. If we had to would we do there what we’ve done to the waterways? You know there is almost no drugs coming through our waterways anymore. Isn’t it down like 85%?” the president said. On the other side of the globe, I expect the conflict between Israel and Iran to erupt again, I expect the war in Ukraine to continue to escalate, and I will be watching China very, very closely. Getting back to the magazine cover, I also noticed that there is a chart that seems to depict some sort of a financial crash right under the crossed swords. And not too far below that chart, there is a red image of a broken dollar sign. In addition, throughout the bottom half of the graphic it looks like paper currency is falling everywhere. Wow. Obviously they are trying to communicate something about the global economy, and it certainly isn’t good. Will 2026 be a year of financial collapse? We won’t have to wait too long to find out. I also noticed two gigantic syringes near the bottom of the cover. And throughout the cover there are lots of “pills” floating around. I started to count them, but there are just too many. So what does this mean? Are they suggesting that another global pandemic is on the way? Will 2026 be a year when people are taking shots and pills to try to protect themselves from a major pestilence that has broken out? Interestingly, an outbreak of the Marburg virus has just been confirmed in Ethiopia… Ethiopia has confirmed an outbreak of the deadly Marburg virus in the south of the country, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) said on Saturday. The Marburg virus is one of the deadliest known pathogens. Like Ebola, it causes severe bleeding, fever, vomiting and diarrhea and has a 21-day incubation period. Also like Ebola, it is transmitted via contact with bodily fluids and has a fatality rate of between 25 and 80 per cent. The head of the World Health Organization, Ethiopia’s Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, confirmed on Friday that at least nine cases had been detected in southern Ethiopia, two days after Africa CDC was alerted to a suspected haemorrhagic virus in the region. Personally, I am convinced that pestilence will be a major theme in 2026. I hope that all of you have been getting ready for that. Lastly, I wanted to mention the giant raised fist near the top of the cover. A raised fist has been the primary symbol of resistance to the Trump administration. And I don’t think that it is an accident that the giant raised fist has been placed right on top of the American flag in this graphic. Are the global elite planning civil unrest in major U.S. cities in 2026? We know that they have been lavishly funding far left protest groups in this country. Will 2026 be a year when mass protests against Trump go to the next level? I think that is their plan. I think that they fully intend to unleash chaos, and that fits perfectly with what I am expecting too. Unfortunately for the elite, I do not believe that they will be able to control the chaos that is coming. We really are right on the brink of a global nightmare, and once it starts nobody is going to be able to wake up from it.

Winter won’t stop a real rider.❄️?️?

President Trump was asked about a report saying Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is laying the groundwork for a 2028 presidential run. A reporter asked Trump for a reaction and if he would support the Texas Republican. “Well, he’s a friend of mine. I mean, no I haven’t spoken to him about it. It’s a little early. It’s three and a quarter years, it’s a long time. But he’s a very good guy. He’s a very good friend of mine,” Trump responded. “You remember, we had quite a campaign against Ted and it worked out quite nicely. Well see, where are we? Oh, we’re in the Oval Office. But I’m not that surprised to hear that,” he continued.

Cruz has accused Carlson of antisemitism and opposed the former Fox News host’s isolationist foreign policy positions, the news outlet said. The maneuvering against Carlson is believed to potentially put Cruz on a path to face Vice President J.D. Vance, who is widely viewed as the 2028 GOP frontrunner. Sen. Ted Cruz Asked About Rumor He’s Planning 2028 Presidential Run Mediaite shared: On the campaign trail during their 2016 fight for the Republican presidential nomination, Trump referred to Cruz as “Lyin’ Ted,” although he later amended the moniker to “Beautiful Ted” and campaigned on Cruz’s behalf. Cruz has been very critical of Carlson and other purveyors of anti-Semitic ideas in the Republican Party, while Vance counts Carlson as an ally. “This poison of anti-Semitism on the right, it is spreading with young people. It is gaining traction,” declared Cruz in a speech last month. “But I will tell you, there is a movement among Christians, particularly young Christians. The public polling numbers of support for Israel among young Christians is plummeting. And they’re being spread lies. They’re being spread lies, isolationist lies that we should withdraw from the world because nobody wants to hurt us. But they’re also being spread theological lies.” Cruz was asked to respond to the Axios report during an interview on Fox News’s “The Faulkner Focus.” “Axios led its morning newsletter with this headline: ’SCOOP: Cruz Eyes 2028 Run’. Senator Cruz, where are you on that?” Faulkner asked the Texas Republican. “You know, reporters are going to write headlines that get clicks and get eyeballs. I got a job. It’s representing 31 million Texans, and it’s fighting every day for 31 million Texans,” Cruz responded. Cruz proceeded to discuss legislative accomplishments during President Trump’s second term. “I’ll tell you right now, the wins we are getting are historic. The ‘one big, beautiful bill’ you were talking about just a minute ago, I was blessed to write major portions of that bill,” Cruz said. Cruz said he “authored and passed into law” a school-choice provision and personal investment accounts for children. “So the victories we are winning are a big deal. That’s where my focus is,” he added. Cruz said one of his focuses right now is addressing Christian persecution in Nigeria. Faulkner noted that Cruz did not deny the reporting by Axios.

By presenting himself as an alternative to the more domestically focused wing of the GOP — especially on Israel — Cruz has set himself apart from other notable 2028 prospective candidates like Vice President JD Vance. The issue of interventionism has divided figures in the GOP for months as pundits, candidates and sitting lawmakers weigh how the U.S. should navigate its international relationships. Vance, like many other voices in Trump’s orbit, has called for the U.S. to pull back from engagements in Ukraine and the Middle East to focus on domestic issues. Cruz has gone against the grain of the party, maintaining that the country's security — and the security of the international community — depends on strong leadership from the White House. Most recently, Cruz said he believed American attention was needed in Nigeria, where Christians have faced intense persecution in recent years. "It’s why my focus right now is on the Christians in Nigeria," Cruz said on Monday after deflecting questions about 2028. "I was at the White House last week with the president, thanking him for standing up for the Christians in Nigeria."
