The Economist - 2026 cover

[Jones]

Marjorie Taylor-Green has been gaining attention with Trump dumping on her despite her support of his campaign. I think that she might be a person of interest to follow more closely.

MTG has announced that she's resigning from office and her last day will be Jan 5, 2026. It will be interesting to see what she gets up to next and what the follow on effects of that will be.

MTG has announced that she's resigning from office and her last day will be Jan 5, 2026. It will be interesting to see what she gets up to next and what the follow on effects of that will be.

Another possibility is that it is Giorgia Meloni, Italy's prime minister, who plays a more important role in global geopolitics than Marjorie Taylor-Green, who prioritizes domestic interests over foreign interventions and sees support for Ukraine as a factor that drains US resources without clear benefit. On the other hand, Meloni balances firm support for Ukraine with diplomatic pragmatism.

In any case, the drawing shows us a woman dressed in red; both Meloni and Taylor-Green are right-wingers.

We can also see that the woman is staggering and chasing or following a robotic tank that is firing and leaving tracks. In the same direction, there is a robotic war dog, which is already being used in the war in Ukraine. Behind her is Zelensky, as if he no longer matters, and next to him is a tank that no longer moves or fires, having been rendered obsolete by the use of drones and war robots. (Or could it be a sign of the end of the war in Ukraine?)

It seems that the woman's efforts to catch up with the robotic tank that is firing are in vain. Is her disheveled hair a sign of despair?

Trump seems unaware of what is happening behind his back due to his trade war with Xi Jinping. Narendra Modi also seems to be warning Trump.

There are several things that the Cs have told us about all this recently:

● War technology (drones, robots, satellites)​

(Regulattor) What was the real cause of the fire on the island of Kornat in 2007 and the deaths of 12 firefighters?

A: Space-based weapons practice

● The end of the conflict in Ukraine

Q: (Joe) [...] The Ukraine conflict doesn't seem like it will end any time soon given that the US and Europe seem unwilling to accept Russia's terms and continue arming Ukraine. How long is this conflict likely to continue?

A: Late this year or early next year, but sudden surprises could be in the works.

Q: (Joe) Can we add in, "Oreshnik, anyone?" to the end of that answer? [laughter] "Oreshnik in Kiev"?

A: Yes

● Large scale European war

(Joe) Is the West openly preparing for a new large scale European war as the Russians claim?

A: Very likely. Other events likely to intervene.

● Trump is misinformed (or unaware)

(Beau) Is Trump aware that he is ordering the bombing of innocent civilians?

A: Not so much.

Q: (Joe) Because he's fed lines of bullshit by his…

(L) Yeah, he's got all those people around him that don't tell him the truth.

● War technology (drones, robots, satellites)​

(Regulattor) What was the real cause of the fire on the island of Kornat in 2007 and the deaths of 12 firefighters?

A: Space-based weapons practice

One of the first things I noticed was the satellite firing what looks to be a laser, or space-based weapon, at the 'trade-war' container ship.

With that, I thought it interesting too; the Persian (Iran) at the helm of his ship handing to Zelensky an amphora vase, who in turn looks back at the Persian with a slight scowl of disapproval. Amphoras were shipping containers used in more ancient times, particular throughout the Mediterranean and the Middle-Eastern sea routes, including the Black Sea, to transport oils and wine for trade. The amphora in the picture being handed to Zelensky could also be a covert meaning for an urn for ashes.

The only winning move is not to play​

One of the first things I noticed was the satellite firing what looks to be a laser, or space-based weapon, at the 'trade-war' container ship.

Yes, that's right, this part possibly describes the trade war and the use of space-based weapons. While the cargo ship fires at the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the United States, a satellite, in turn, fires at the cargo ship. The bionic brain (IA) connected to the video game controller would then indicate war games.

Did you remember "War Games" movie from 1983? The film WarGames was released in the United States on June 3, 1983. This is a summary from Grok
​

Plot summary

David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) is a brilliant young high school student who loves computers and hacking systems. One day, while searching for new video games to play, he accidentally accesses a NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) military supercomputer called WOPR (War Operation Plan Response).

Believing it to be a war simulation game created by a video game company, David starts a game of "Global Thermonuclear War." What he doesn't know is that the computer interprets the game as a real attack by the Soviet Union against the United States and begins to prepare a real nuclear response.

Together with his girlfriend Jennifer (Ally Sheedy) and the reluctant help of WOPR's creator, Dr. Stephen Falken (John Wood), David will try to stop the computer before it unleashes World War III. ​

Other video games that David (Israel, Mossad??) sees listed :

●Falken's maze
●Blackjack
●Gin rummy
●Hearts
●Bridge
●Checkers
●Chess
●Poker
●Fighter
●Guerrilla engagement
●Desert warfare
●Air-to-ground actions
●Theaterwide tactical warfare​

●Theaterwide biotoxic and chemical warfare.

The last four games are represented on the cover by the Persian ship (Iran and Desert warfare), space-based weapons, and pills and syringes.

I wonder why Israel does not appear on the covers of The Economist, at least not on the last two, unless Saturn on the 2025 cover represents it.

Okay, in the movie, the creator of the WOPR supercomputer names it Joshua in honor of his deceased son. The computer also identifies itself as Joshua, and David talks to it as if it were a person or a friend, just as many people today talk to Artificial Intelligence, such as Grok, for example.

In each session, Joshua responds, "Shall we play a game?" After simulating thousands of possible scenarios, Joshua concludes that there is no winner in the game of Global Thermonuclear War and that it ends in total annihilation for both sides. Joshua says: "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?"

Joshua in the Bible was Moses' successor, a military and religious leader who led the Israelites to the Promised Land after the Exodus. He is described as a faithful servant of God, brave and obedient, who led the military conquests of Canaan and was an important figure in the history of Israel.​

One of the first things I noticed was the satellite firing what looks to be a laser, or space-based weapon, at the 'trade-war' container ship.

And in turn the ship shoots at the 250th anniversary cake and the ship carries a black flag on its bow:

A black flag on a ship is a symbol indicating the highest level of danger. Its presence at sea alerts other mariners to the critical situation the vessel is facing, which may include technical, health, or safety problems.

A black flag on a ship is a symbol indicating the highest level of danger. Its presence at sea alerts other mariners to the critical situation the vessel is facing, which may include technical, health, or safety problems.

Interesting. According to Grok, apart from being used by pirates, the black flag symbolizes:

●Quarantine or epidemic signal (official maritime use)
​

In the past (and still in some contexts of the International Code of Signals), a yellow flag was typically used for quarantine, but in some ports and in ancient times, a black flag was also used to indicate that the ship was carrying a contagious disease on board (plague, cholera, etc.) and it was forbidden to approach or disembark.​

● Mourning or grief
​

In some cases, ships flew a black flag (or the national flag at half-mast with black crepe) as a sign of mourning for the death of the captain, an important member of the crew, or a prominent figure.​

The color black also appears in three characters: Trump, Xi Jinping, and another who looks like George Soros, but could also be Bibi Netanyahu. The character dressed in blue is, I think, Putin. In his left hand, he holds a rod while appearing to push Bibi/Soros from behind.

Each of these characters has a capsule nearby. Xi Jinping's capsule is a different color: black and blue, while Putin's capsule is red and blue like Trump's. These colors, red and blue, also predominated on the cover of 2024, which predicted Claudia Sheinbaum's victory in Mexico (the figure of a woman with a ponytail).

Trump was absent from this cover, but brains connected to a computer and the presence of the ballot box were already visible. 2024 was a year of important elections.

Edit. Trump does appear on the cover with a question mark on his ear...

Edit. Trump does appear on the cover with a question mark on his ear...

That was very specific for a coincidence. Could imply that whoever tells the artists what should be on the cover may have high-level access to secret future plans of the cabal. The Economist does belong to two powerful families, literally the Rothschilds and the Agnelli family.

Though the ear thing was probably not planned as such.

 

[Equinox]

The color black also appears in three characters: Trump, Xi Jinping, and another who looks like George Soros, but could also be Bibi Netanyahu.

I thought he could possibly be Tony Blair, signifying his likely prominent role in the upcoming year as the 'Dark Architect' who will oversee the rebuilding of Gaza.

The Fate of Empires​

On average, great historical empires lasted between 200 and 300 years. British historian Sir John Glubb studied 11 great empires and concluded that most lasted surprisingly close to 250 years (10 human generations). Their typical stages:

1. Age of pioneers
2. Age of conquests
3. Age of trade
4. Age of wealth
5. Age of intellectualism
6. Age of decadence
7. Collapse

According to Glubb, decline is marked by defensiveness, pessimism, materialism, and frivolity, but also by the influence of foreigners, the welfare state, long periods of wealth and power, selfishness, love of money, and a loss of sense of duty.

According to what the Cs told us, the fall of the Atlanteans was marked by their hunger for power, and today we are experiencing that karma.​

Q: (T) Was it necessary for them to have power gathering stations on Mars and the Moon. Did this increase their power?

A: Not necessary but it is not necessary for you to have a million dollars either. Get the correlation? Atlanteans were power hungry the way your society is money hungry.

Q: (T) Was the accumulation of this power what brought about their downfall?

A: Yes.

Historians have placed the US in the era of decadence for the past 15–20 years. Glubb says that once an empire enters the Age of Decline, collapse or loss of global hegemony usually comes within 1–3 generations (i.e., between 2035 and 2075 in the case of the United States), although the country may continue to exist as a regional power or cultural entity.

It has also been said that the US is experiencing a cycle very similar to that of the late Roman Empire or the post-1918 British Empire.​

The cake is decorated with five red balloons and lit candles forming the number 250. The balloons possibly represent the five ages that have passed in the American Empire, now entering an era of decline. Incidentally, there is a red balloon next to Xi Jinping. The Chinese Empire lasted from 221 BC to 1912 and seems to be reborn. The Chinese Empire is the only case in history that does not have a single duration, because it is not a single empire, but rather an imperial civilization that has continually reinvented itself for more than 2,100 years (and in a certain sense for up to 4,000 years if we count its origins)

In terms of culture and civilization, the American Empire has a formidable enemy in the reborn Chinese Empire. I think that for all of the above reasons, the cover presents us with the commercial battle between these two empires.

Behind her is Zelensky, as if he no longer matters, and next to him is a tank that no longer moves or fires, having been rendered obsolete by the use of drones and war robots. (Or could it be a sign of the end of the war in Ukraine?)

I see a Russian (red) T-90 tank here, about to run over Zelensky. Isn't that right? Despite all these drones, robot dogs, and robots, the tank remains the main striking force in war. Incidentally, Russia (and probably the US and China too) already have robotic tanks based on the T-72 (Shturm).

 

[Korzik18]

Here is an analysis of the cover from Olga from Telegram "Без "умные" пророчества". I mentioned her earlier in another thread. She is a psychologist and something like a remote viewer or reader of the information field.

The cover of The economist 26, which is not only and not so much a forecast by the owners of the magazine (and the capitalist world at the same time), but rather an inspiration of their ideas, will be remembered for the general background of Chaos, anxiety and going beyond the usual (for the outlines of a ball-ball-planet).

The symbols and details that are revealed during viewing are aimed at enhancing the overall feeling of Chaos and their task is to adjust the focus (to give energy to fear) to the realization of the future designated by the "masters".

And the future of the globe in the globalists' broadcast is belligerent, chaotic, oversaturated, disturbing and dotted with small details that accumulate attention, concentrate it and direct it to a rather psychogenic symbolic series, Like a ray on a lens.

It is not particularly striking, but the most important figure in the collage is the football player, he launches the "ball of Chaos" as if he scores a goal. An interesting detail is the red threads (connections). The football player will use everyone, none of the sides of the world will sit out, 4 threads).
This powerful shot at goal as a metaphor is the last leap before victory, a goal (the realization of their task - to establish global control, order).
And it is important to note that the globalists themselves do not know for sure whether a goal will be scored.
But they will be beaten with full force.

So, the plans of the global elites are for the world to plunge into a field oversaturated with a series of events, the context is alarming, belligerent, and negative.

Heavy missiles aimed at the sky, bombs already flying over the ground, explosions, movable bombs, robots and robobucks (as a new stage in war and peace), drones, submarine periscope.
Masses of water and seas of blood.

Red, active tanks of different sizes, scattered all over the globe. Of these, there are 2 large (conflicts) at different ends of the figure, and one in the field of V.A. Zelensky. The second one in the space under the cake (USA) is South America.

Satellites are the Internet based on new principles, and global and total surveillance of everyone.

The joystick controls (plays) the brain on a rather long and convoluted connection. It is planned to play with brain activity from any distance.

There are plans for a terrorist attack (firing) from a cargo barge under a pirate black flag -as a provocation at the time of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States (from Britain))). In order to attack provocateurs with a "clear conscience", who have plenty of oil, rare earth metals and other resources needed by the United States.

A handcuffed fist is a symbol of freedom and the struggle for civil rights in the United States. Blue, democratic, symbolizes the dictatorship of power, suppressed but not defeated democratic forces.

Devalued paper money is lying around with the leaves (on the ground). There's also a crumbling, cracked dollar symbol, a descending stock chart against a backdrop of crossed swords (conflicts), and Donald Trump rushing to save it.

Vladimir Zelensky has lost perspective, his binoculars are lowered, he is in the epicenter of the explosion.

A boat with a bright symbol of the Greek pattern- a meander on the sails. For some reason, it feels like a Funeral ship.
The meander symbol is very ancient, deep, symbolizing destruction and creation, the endless renewal of life, the ancient Greek interpretation of the wheel of Samsara. The traveler passes him a symbolic amphora- an urn, its energy is destruction. He must accept the inevitable.

The symbols of the disease scattered all over the ball are medicines in different forms- syringes, capsules of different colors and sizes. There is a sense of diseases descending on the world, but these are not pandemics, as if there are scattered local outbreaks of infections and other diseases. Immersed in these images comes a sense of the power of the pharmaceutical industry. It's as if this area is preparing for explosive growth in the year 26.

The cover features Trump and what appears to be Modi running after him. There is a pleased Xi, who left behind two disappointed figures who spread their hands in disbelief – (Putin and Brazilian President Silva?). The owners would like that..discord right in the year 26. Well ok..

The blonde in red, who looks like Meloni, walks almost along the track of a tank- a figure capable of keeping military hysteria in a rut.. She has more power than it might seem at first glance.

The future Olympic Games reflected on the metaphorical ball attract little attention against the background of the bacchanalia presented. As well as the doping scandals on them, objectified on the cover with a blister (with doping).
The "ice cubes" (artificially square) continue to melt, but somewhere around the edges, which means that the environmental farce according to the owners' plan will still habitually affect global processes, but not with such intensity.

Globalists are preparing an interesting, eventful life for the world in the new year, as they responsibly declare. This is their rule, their law - to get the consent of tribes and peoples in any way - for example, by publishing an "offer agreement" through their own global global media.

And if the masses accepted the rebus offer as inevitable, or even better, they believed and were afraid – the tension rose, the energy went = consent was received, the contract was signed and the law comes into force.

I'm tired of them with their bloodthirsty hypnosis-programming, to be honest.

The meander pattern is often found on crop circles. For example, in 2025 https://cassiopaea.org/forum/threads/2025-crop-circles.55880/post-125784
