Predictions for 2026 and beyond

There is a long-standing CIA operation to infiltrate and undermine China. The 'purge' by Xi is about that. Xi is not doing this to maintain his personal control. That is a very Western hegemonic view. He is protecting China from American aggression.

The CIA has been toppling countries not subservient to the US, but they are successful only with the smaller countries where leadership is weak and has little control of the military. For stronger countries such as Iraq and Libya, they can only create the illusions of their leaders being wicked and cruel to the people. Direct military intervention occurred in both. For even stronger and more stable countries, CIA cannot do much but the Masons have their ways. Working from the bottom up is impossible, so what do they do? They working from the top down. Infiltration of leaders at the very top using spies, for example using female spies and blackmail is the best way. Better still, go back in time before they become leaders. Support the revolutionaries that have potential, the emerging men of ability, etc. That has always been the way of Masonry.
The military leadership at the very top in China, all were chosen by Xi to be very loyal. The Chang and Xi families have close ties. It is inconceivable that several of his trusted men were influenced from outside to rebel. On the other hand, his trusted men might have come to realize that Xi was not acting for the best of the country and attempted to remove him. They allowed him to step down gracefully, that was the mistake.

2026 being the start of a new era, potentially with destructive changes, echoes the Numerology & Chinese Astrology of this year to a T.

2026 is a 10/1 Numerology year, 2+0+2+6 = 10 (1+0 = 1), and in this practice, the Number 1 represents the start of a new cycle, usually with action. 2026 will be a year full of changes and action, leading to a new time cycle... similar to the devastating 2025, but with another flavor as 2025 was a "9" year which meant Endings.

Now, 2026 is also Fire Horse year 🔥🐎 in the Chinese Zodiac, which actually starts tomorrow, Feb 17. The Fire Horse energy is very similar to that of 1 Numerology, so this reinforces the potential for 2026 to be a year of major changes and bold action. Being a powerful fire sign, it can be interpreted as a year in which there could also be many serious fire events.

The Great London Fire of 1666 happened in such a year. The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake also was during a Fire Horse year, and it was subsequently followed by a devastating fire.

Even going back further, in May of 526 AD, one of the world's worst earthquakes destroyed Antioch in Syria, and much of the destruction was caused by the fire that followed. Hopefully 2026 is calmer than this, or at least more positive, but it is important to know how past Fire Horse years behaved around the world in this 60-year cycle.

Don't forget prophecies in a puzzle, the cover of the Economist 2026:
Attachment 56594
I have yet to read the image, but the vaccine needle unnerves me more than the missles.

Two tanks - Two new wars erupting, or WWIII starts this year.
Trump's duel with Xi, Putin and a bearded man, should be Iran's religious leader Aiyatollah. Message is clear.

I was really intrigued with your post syrwong and so asked chatgpt for analysis:

"Here’s a **clear, grounded breakdown of the symbolism and “prophecies” depicted on the front cover of The Economist The World Ahead 2026 issue (usually published every November as a kind of visual “forecast” of themes and trends for the coming year) — based on expert and analytical interpretations of the art and iconography rather than conspiracy commentary:

🧠 1. Global Focus & Shared Stage

The globe is depicted like a soccer ball, symbolising the FIFA World Cup 2026 — one of the year’s major global events — and more broadly that anything in 2026 will be watched and judged on a global stage.

🇺🇸 2. America’s 250th Anniversary & Its Internal Struggles

A birthday cake marked “250” next to the U.S. flag signals the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence in 2026.

The imagery suggests both celebration and tension — reflecting the internal political divisions and economic pressures the country faces during its milestone year.

🪖 3. Ongoing Geopolitical Tensions and Conflicts

Missiles, tanks, weapons, and crossed swords emphasise that war, proxy conflicts, and military standoffs will continue to dominate international politics rather than fade away.

This doesn’t predict a single big war, but rather a world of persistent geopolitical friction in multiple theatres (e.g., Ukraine, Middle East, etc.).

🤖 4. AI, Technology & Control

A brain connected to a controller and AI‑like symbols indicate artificial intelligence becoming more central to society and decision-making — influencing governance, technology, labour markets, and data ecosystems.

🧬 5. Bio‑Digital & Health Economy

Syringes, pills, athletes, and medical motifs hint that biotechnology, health trends, and pharmaceuticals will be major forces in 2026 — not only for health outcomes but also for economies and public discourse (e.g., the impact of next‑generation weight‑loss drugs and biotech innovation).

💰 6. Economic Fragility & Debt Pressures

Charts, money symbols, and a vulnerable dollar sign reflect concerns over debt levels in rich countries, market volatility, and fiscal constraints — suggesting caution for economic growth and financial stability in 2026.

🛰️ 7. Surveillance, Tech Militarisation & Remote Warfare

Drones and satellites scattered across the image represent warfare and control mediated through technology — from cyber‑espionage to algorithmic command and surveillance in global conflicts.

⚖️ 8. Blurred Global Boundaries & Interconnected Risks

The cover isn’t divided into neat sections; rather, it shows all these themes — war, economics, health, tech — interacting inside one circle. The message: crises in 2026 will be interconnected rather than isolated.

⚽ 9. Soft Power & Culture
Lighter elements (like sports symbols or cultural icons) suggest that sporting events and cultural forces (e.g., global spectacles) will play a prominent role in shaping public attention and even diplomacy.


🧾 In summary:

The cover doesn’t predict specific events like “there will be X tomorrow.” Instead, its “prophecies” are visual metaphors for trends and risks The Economist editors believe will shape 2026 — including continued geopolitical conflict, the centrality of technology and AI, economic vulnerabilities, health and biotech transformations, and the framing of global narratives around major events (like the U.S. 250th and the World Cup)."
