The Economist Magazine Predicts Dire, Ominous Year Ahead

FTA: "The reason why the editors at The Economist are so accurate is because the ultra-wealthy elite have an enormous amount of influence over the course of human events. If [the ultra-wealthy elite] 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 Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"

Conquest: ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu sits astride the White Horse for his vainglorious conquest of the defenseless Palestinian people, killing 69,513 of them, mostly women and children, while maiming and wounding another 170,745. His reckless and homicidal pogrom in Gaza has turned Israel into both a Pariah nation and a Rogue state.

War: ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin rides the Red Horse for bringing war to Ukraine and Russia. Since his brutal February 2022 invasion, combined binational casualties have exceeded well over 1,000,000 people. With his pitiless security services, this KGB veteran-cum-tyrant is also waging a lethal internal war on his own people and dissidents like the late Alexei Navalny.

Famine: The Black Horse of Famine schlepps good-for-nothing oligarch Felon Musk, who happily cut US programs that led to the deaths of thousands of people in the Third World from malnutrition and disease. And like a parasite, Musk is still active in the orbit of the nefarious Trumpf junta siphoning off America's wealth through unmonitored super-lucrative government contracts.

Death: Double divorced, twice impeached, felony-convicted sexual predator Dummkopf Trumpf clumsily rides the Pale Horse of Death. Republican strategist Rick Wilson cogently and aptly authored Everything Trump Touches Dies and MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell christened him "America's Dracula." Now we know Dummkopf Trumpf is the Chief Executive Pedophile of the US and his "BBB" will cause the deaths of thousands of vulnerable Americans when they start losing their medical coverage and SNAP benefits.
