Looks like Hillary Clinton will be president and the UFOs will disclosed. :)

[Deega]

The German Chancelor Merkel will take the lead, for what, time will tell. It seems that Hilary might have a go, and Bill joining in somehow. Putin seems to be a tad behind the scene. UFO disclosure seen as a comic thing. The Olympic somewhat loosing/adding parts in their symbol. Cameron just in front of the Caliphate. Marxism standing tall in the background, sociodemocracy developping. Assad has black-eyes, he will be pushed around. China, India, in the forefront, they will continued occupying space in the economic spectrum. What an interesting 2016 to come.

Some of the faces are in colour others black and white? Interesting hint.
Probably the main players are in colour and the puppets are in grey?

[joeecho]

Predictive programming with Hillary winning the presidency?

[Zionbrion]

Putin, chinas leader and the pope all in color.....

¤=[Post Update]=¤

Also Chinas flag is in the bowl of cereal on the UFO...seems the aliens may eat us for breakfast
:rofl:

[Andre]

In the front row, the only faces they have given flesh color to are that of Putin (Russia) and Xi Jinping (China). That sets them apart from all the other leaders including Obama, Merkel, Cameron, etc. Are they portraying Russia and China as more real than their black & white counterparts?

who is the man in colour - behind the robot? also, why would the robot be there among humans?

As of today, the Chinese stock market plummeted by 19% from Jan 1st this year and the Renminbi devalued by almost 3% in a month's time. Together with a similar attack on Russia, this must be viewed as a vicious attack on the Chinese economy. Admittedly there is no strong economy in any country, China has some severe economic problems too, but to see it is sinking before the other weaker economies is very unexpected.

I ponder, are they having an all out attack on China in the first month to start the year, and there is more to come in the second half of January? This would explain why the Economist cover for 2016 was already out in December of 2015.

the way i see it with china economy is that the trade is down - so less income from gdp. last year value floated into stocks bubbling it up rather extensivly, also china businesses are connected into world $ system, therefore taking most profit away. the fed and those above can only survive now using the central bank theft model as every other source of income is taken out of the equasion. its just a matter of time. strap on your seatbelts all..

..or. we just get a black swan situation which noone could see in advance.
