The 'Surreal & Sinister' World In 2015 (According To The Economist)
Originally posted at The Vigilant Citizen blog,
The magazine The Economist published an issue named “The World in 2015″. On the cover are odd images : A mushroom cloud, the Federal Reserve in a game called “Panic” and much more.
I wouldn’t normally dedicate an entire article analyzing the cover of a publication, but this isn’t any publication. It is The Economist and it is directly related to the world elite. It is partly owned by the Rothschild banking family of England and its editor-in-chief, John Micklethwait, attended several times to the Bilderberg Conference – the secretive meeting where the world’s most powerful figures from the world of politics, finance business and media discuss global policies. The outcome of those meetings is totally secret. It is therefore safe to say that the people at The Economist know things that most people don’t. For this reason, its “2015 prediction” cover is rather puzzling.
The bleak and sinister cover features political figures, fictional characters and pop culture icons that will surely make the news in 2015. However, most importantly, it also includes several drawings that are extremely symbolic and allude to important elements of the elite’s Agenda. Here’s the cover :
(You can view a larger version of the cover here).
At first glance, we see political figures like Obama and Putin, references to the Rugby cup and the new Spider-Man movie. But a closer look reveals a plethora of disturbing elements. Here are some of them.
Two-Faced Globe
One side of the globe gazes stoically towards the West while the other side appears irate. Does this represent a confrontation between the East and the West? The cover features a few other symbols referring to the “rise of the East”. What’s more unsettling is that, immediately under that angry globe, are pictured a mushroom cloud (the kind that happens after a nuclear bomb goes off) and a spy satellite launching into space.
The Color of the Faces
Take a closer look at the faces of the personalities featured on the cover. Some of them are in full color while others are in black and white. Why is that?
Among those in black in white are Putin, Merkel, Obama, Hilary Clinton and David Cameron. Among those in color are David Blaine, a young person holding a “Singapore” banner (Singapore is the host of the 2015 SEA games) and a random guy wearing virtual reality equipment. A quick compilation of this data reveals that those in black and white appear to be part of the elite (including the ISIS guy who probably works for them) and those in color are “outsiders”. Is this how the elite perceives the world?
Pied Piper
The presence of the Pied Piper on this 2015-themed cover is downright unsettling. The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a German legend about a man who used his magical flute to lure away the children of the city of Hamelin, never to be seen again.

The Pied Piper leads the children out of Hamelin. Illustration from Robert Browning’s “The Pied Piper of Hamelin”
This folkloric figure dating from the Middle-Ages is said to represent either massive death by plague or catastrophe, or a movement of massive immigration. It also perfectly represents today’s youth being “lured” and mystified by the “music” of mass media. Conveniently enough, there’s a small boy right under the Piper’s flute.
Clueless Boy
Right under the Pied Piper we see a young boy with dumbfounded look on his face. He is watching a game called “Panic”. The words “Federal Reserve” and “Chi” (which probably stands for China) are on top while the words “Green light!” and “sis!” (which probably stands for “Isis!” or “Crisis!”) are at the bottom. The little boy watches as this twisted game of Plinko unfolds the same way the clueless masses watch powerlessly while various events unfold on mass media. As the name of the game states, the ultimate goal is to cause Panic around the world as crises are almost randomly generated by those who control the game. And that’s on a magazine cover owned by the Rothschilds.
Crop-O-Dust
In front of Putin is a small aircraft on which is written Crop-O-Dust. This refers to the concept of crop dusting which is “the process of spraying crops with powdered insecticides or fungicides from an aircraft.” Right under the helicopter is a kid … eating something. Unsettling.

Sitting right under the crop-o-dust, this kid is eating a heavily processed package of noodles. Is he ingesting the poison that was spread by the aircraft?
China
A panda bear wearing a China-flag Speedo while flexing its muscles is a rather clear way of portraying the fact that China is gaining power. Next to it is a sumo wrestler holding a big battery on which the polarities (+ and -) are clearly indicated. Are they alluding to a switch in polarity in world power from the West to the East?
Ghost
Emerging from behind Obama’s leg is a ghost reading a magazine entitled “Holiday”. Why is this ghost, which represents a dead person, planning a vacation? Does it represent the fact that the masses will be so impoverished that the only time they’ll be on a holiday is when they’re dead? Does it relate to the countless people who died while traveling in the past months? Creepy.
Turtle
Standing in front of everything else, gazing right into our souls is a turtle with emphasis lines around its shell. What does it represent? Will turtles make a huge comeback in 2015? Probably not.
An angry tortoise is the symbol of the Fabian Society, an extremely powerful organization that has been working for over a century towards to formation of a single world government.
The philosophy behind Fabian socialism is basically the blueprint of what we call today the New World Order.
The Fabian Society is a very old group originating in England in 1884, with the purpose of forming a single, global socialist state. They get their name from the Roman general Fabius, who used carefully planned strategies to slowly wear down his enemies over a long period of time to obtain victory. “Fabian Socialism” uses incremental change over a long period of time to slowly transform a state as opposed to using violent revolution for change. It is essentially socialism by stealth. Their original emblem was a shield with a wolf in sheep’s clothing holding a flag with the letters F.S. Today the international symbol of the Fabian Society is a turtle, with the motto below: “When I strike, I strike hard.”
– The Fabian Society, The Weather Eye
The Fabian Society used to openly advocate a scientifically planned society and supported eugenics by way of sterilization. Its original logo was a wolf in sheep’s clothing … But I guess that was not the best way to conceal the wolf from the masses.
Bringing forth a global system through small incremental changes is exactly what the world elite is currently doing. This is probably why there’s an angry tortoise on the cover of this Bilderberg-connected publication – standing in front of the chaos behind it.
11.3 and 11.5
The lower right side of the cover features some more cryptic symbols. There’s a pile of dirt on the ground and two arrows on which are inscribed 11.5 and 11.3. Are those dates to remember? Why are they next to a pile of dirt? If you look up these figures as coordinates, they point to somewhere in Nigeria. Displaying numbers that can only be truly understood by “those in the know” is one of the occult elite’s favorite hobbies.
Standing in front of the dirt is Alice in Wonderland looking upwards towards the Cheshire Cat.
This iconic cat is known for disappearing entirely, leaving only visible its creepy grin. We therefore see another allusion to a world of fantasy, illusion and deceit as perceived by Alice – a representative of the masses. Along with the somewhat unnecessary inclusion of David Blaine – a magician – the cover mixes real world events with illusions.
Other notable symbols on this cover include a piggy bank flying from James Cameron’s pockets; A model wearing an Alexander McQueen creation (the elite’s favorite designer who died in strange circumstances) and an Asian officer wearing a facemask to protect him from a deadly disease.
2015 seems great, doesn’t it?
In Conclusion
The Economist is not a random newspaper that publishes quirky 2015 predictions to sell a few additional copies. It is directly connected to those who shape global policies and who make sure that they are applied. The publication is partly owned by the Rothschild banking family of England and its editor regularly attends Bilderberg meetings. In other words, The Economist is connected to those who have the means and the power to make “predictions” a reality.
The 2015-themed cover basically reflects the overall Agenda of the elite and is peppered with cryptic symbols that appear to be included for “those in the know”. And the masses, like Alice watching the Cheshire Cat disappear, will focus on illusions while the wolf in sheep’s clothing will strike … and strike hard.

Shouldn't the black in the middle of the picture be shinin' someone's shoes?
Looks more Asian to me ...

There's only 1 black on this cover and he's wearing a hat.
Has anybody figured out the 11.5 and 11.3? I got most of the the rest of the symbolism (My daughter and I being avid readers of VC...)
Earthquake magnitudes (aka Fred Sanford's Big Ones)?
It happens when the asteroid hits. You can see the falling star on th 'Panic' board.
Maybe the arrows are landing in progression, and the next arrow will hit the girl. That arrow would be 11.1

Hand-painted oil painting by Leonardo Da VinciPortrait Of A Lady From The Court Of Milan one of the most famous paintings. As in many of Leonardo's portraits, the composition comprises a pyramidic spiral and the sitter is caught in the motion of turning to her left, reflecting Leonardo's life-long preoccupation with the dynamics of movement.
http://rlv.zcache.com/portrait_of_a_lady_from_the_court_of_milan_ornamen...
Given the view from the perspective of the Portrait of the Lady,the order of events 11.5 to 11.3 run in that order. First 11.5 and then 11.3. The girl has a beem of light under her left heal reflectng victory/defeat. The reflection of 11.3 is very large compared to 11.5..signalling a much larger event.

Election Day in the United States is the day set by law for the general elections of public officials. It occurs on the Tuesday right after the first Monday in November (this does not necessarily mean the "first Tuesday" in a month because the first day of a month can be a Tuesday). The earliest possible date is November 2, and the latest possible date is November 8. The 2012 election was held on November 6, 2012.
Election day will be on the 3rd this year:

Don't care about their symbols as long as their NWO "front cover man" is Obozo ! That choice alone shows they aren't very smart, no matter how many Rothschilds are among owners, or how many Bilderberg meetings they attend. Alas, even the "elites" ain't what they used to be...
The reason they are doing this is to put this bullshit front and center in our minds. They can't create what they want without consent from us, and if we don't outright reject this crap, that implies we passively consent to it. Meanwhile, just having been exposed to this shit and not speaking up about it gives power to their creation in the minds of the clueless masses. So: my advice is to take what you can from it, analyze it for hints at what they intend, but do NOT give it any power. DO NOT CONSENT TO THEIR BULLSHIT.
Smart people don't promote morons, because it makes THEM look stupid. When TPTB get to employ morons, that means they're re not much better off either.
Let me print the money and run the MIC and I care not who makes the laws.

Is Merkel flashing Illuminati signs?
Yeah she totally is
She may be, but it's the look on Barry's face that will be keeping us up tonight.
What I get out of that is that Barry is just an illusion and he will be going on permanent holiday this year.
Yeah that face could give a kid night terrors. Add a couple of neck bolts and he looks like Herman Munster to me.
Miffed;-)
Actually looks like she is offering her "opening".
I'd like to know why Oboy is the central figure who towers over everyone else in the picture. I hope it doesn't symbolize a plan to make him the leader of the new world order.
The 'Wet Dreams' of 'Mice and Men' are not only unfathomed, but cannot be fathomed in your world, Horatio.
Obola isn't gay enough for us. Lord Satan knows, we TRIED to sell this hapless Mullato to the masses...

Amazon gets levitated in 2015.
go long drones.
Leonardo's fine art is safe from nukes behind a pile of dirt.
The cymbol on the drumset is a symbol, see the inverted image reflected on the floor below- 50 th becomes 20 fy for the uk and us.
The kid watching the crash is wearing a beany, a helicopter beanie... reminicent of the bernank's helicopter policies.
Using the Christine LaGarde system of numerology, 11.5 and 11.3 are 7 and 5 and 12 combined equaling 3. So march and possibly 22/8 which is aug 22.
The turtle can hide in it's shell when shtf.
could it be shell oil?
There is safety in art/jewels and shiny in these times, but best you bury them.

Who is the piper? msm ptb, antichrist?
Why does India figure so prominently? nukes?
May the odds be ever in your favour/McQueen hat.
Not up on my Japanese but I see they mention Hitlery and Carl Icahn and maybe david green in the headers.
The ghost- Holiday means HOLY DAY so Passover this year bombs away?
you want to know what the elite have planned for the sheeple, in 2015. well the answer is given by the elite on this cover, good luck deciphering it though!!
it's all codes BITCHEZ
This wasn't put together randomly, that's for sure.
There's for sure a lot of symbolism in there, and it's pretty much a given that it only really means something to a few.
The bit I'm finding fascinating is the reference to Ludovico Sforza via his mistress (chick in the painting next to Alice). Ludovico is known for commissioning Leonardo to paint The Last Supper.
Highly evocative of Hieronymus Bosch in their use of graphic symbolism ...

See for yourself, but be prepared for the very, very weird.
Would not show the paintings to my children until college age.
The sheer amount of conspiracy nuts congregating here before my eyes is what is most disconcerting to me.
How much do they pay you to come on this site and wade through all the tin foil hats so you can post in such an obvious TPTB shill form?
We regret, on our dying embers, that we can only junk you once.
@ Eirik:
I'm shocked that you didn't use the usual 'tinfoil-hat-wearing-conspiracy-theorist 9/11 truther Ron Paul nut-job' meme when posting.
It's 'most disconcerting' to see that you are at a loss for delitirious catch-phrases. Your handlers in the M.I.C. are grasping at straws, now (this fact you must admit). PERHAPS Hannity will come up with some 'useful phrases' this coming week, that you will repeat VERBATIM.
In the meantime, Barack Hussein is still recruiting a domestic army. To apply, please go to:
DHS.com
what I find more disconcerting/hilarious is the interpretation of all those symbols. and yes, they are symbols, and the Japanese public (and Economist readership) loves symbols
Agreed Eirik Magnus Larssen, this site is rapidly losing it's credibility with this sort of junk.
Sometimes I really really wonder these days if even ZH is part of TPTB establishment because with so many conspiracy/manipulating theories flying around, in the end you don't know what or whom to believe anymore. Check out Charlie Brooker's Wipe 2014 from Adam Curtis and you'll see what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcy8uLjRHPM
Has it ever occured to you folks that TPTB & THe Economist is sending all you idiots on a wild goose chase? Just like tarot cards and palm 'reading,' all these symbols are so vague that you can 'explain' everything with them on 31-12-2015.
With idiot commentators and substandard articles here on ZH lately, I'm seriously considering selling my gold & silver. Instead of a credible counter-balance to the constant mainstream media brainwashing, this site is rapidly becoming a sort of National Enquirer for goldbugs.
I am sure glad to hear that there are no conpiracies
I feel safe now
BTW, your gold and silver won't be worth anything
double arrow strikes
in 1933, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102 had made it a criminal offense for U.S. citizens to own or trade gold anywhere in the world, with exceptions for some jewelry and collector's coins. The following year the Gold Reserve Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by Roosevelt, rendering it illegal for any citizen to own or possess gold. They were commanded by force of law to sell all private gold to the Department of the Treasury. AFTER the Treasury department took possession of the people's gold, they revalued gold from $20 an ounce to $35 an ounce. This immediately devalued the dollars which the Treasury had used in trade for the people's gold. The devaluation was a staggering 75%. Talk about robbing the populace. It is little wonder that it took until 1940 for Americans to recover from their loss of purchasing power.
I'll buy your shiny Bok. ;)))
Clearly they are sending out a message and one that is not meant to be interpreted by the masses. The very fact that it is being sent means big things are a foot.
The bar scene in the first Star Wars had a much better looking group, and far smarter.
Its one big shit show unfolding before our eyes with sociopaths and crazies in charge.
I guess I have to go back and re-read the article.
What was it talking about? What kind of Socialism? What were the main goals of this kind of Socialism? What makes the Author say that the New World Order is about his kind of Socialism?
Why not Neo-Fuedalism, Fascism, or Communism? Why not an Inverted Totalitarian State built on A Military Republic?
The socialist political movement includes a diverse array of political philosophies. Core dichotomies within the socialist movement include the distinction between reformism and revolutionary socialism and between state socialism and libertarian socialism. State socialism calls for the nationalisation of the means of production as a strategy for implementing socialism, while libertarian socialists generally place their hopes in decentralized means of direct democracy such as libertarian municipalism, citizens' assemblies, trade unions, and workers' councils[11] coming from a general anti-authoritarian stance.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Democratic socialism highlights the central role of democratic processes and political systems and is usually contrasted with non-democratic political movements that advocate socialism.[19] Some socialists have adopted the causes of other social movements, such as environmentalism, feminism and liberalism.[20]
The term "socialism" was created to contrast against the liberal doctrine of "individualism", which stressed that people act or should act as if they are in isolation from one another.[25] The original socialists condemned liberal individualism as failing to address social concerns of poverty, social oppression, and gross inequality of wealth.[25]
Robert Owen in 1827, father of the cooperative movement.[27][28]
Yeah, Socialism was invented before Communism. Marx & Engels thought that the Owners of Capitalism, Factories, the Means of Production were getting wealthy and had the money, control of the money.
- Social Socialsim
- reformism
- revolutionary socialism
- state socialism
- libertarian socialism.
- State socialism calls for the nationalisation of the means of production
Where does Socialism say they Want Fiscal Spending on Contracts for Big Banks, Big Corporations, Funding of Research, Influence by Corporations on Drug Testing, and Huge Fiscal Spending on Military Corporations??? We spend $10 Trillion in 12 Years from 2002-2014 for Military Industrial Security Complex. That ain't Hay nor Chicken Feed...
Fascism is a Marriage between Government, Military & Corporations. But if you prefer Neo-Fuedal since we are ruled by Elites... I'll listen to what you have to say.
We will all be Debt Slaves soon, just as you might expect from Mafia Running the USA.
It doesn't really matter what the definition is, it is how it is being used, like every other theme. I understand that we all have ideas that tend to align with one ideology or another, but they are always used against us. The powers align themselves with these themes and use them to aggregate more power.
Think small
Exactly. That seems the problem with the Article in the Economist... You know have you ever seen some New Age or Esoteric Art Work? Sort of like Dante's Inferno with more Salvador Dali... but with Masonic Symbolism.
This picture didn't have clear symbolism, but you can't really tell the meaning of Esoteric Art either. I guess Artists work in this Realm all the time. But we don't notice it normally until they over crowd the work.
I don't think they were trying to communicate with me.
It's a big club, and you ain't invited:

Enough with the (that's supposed to be funny?!) over-analysis!
I buried Paul
Who knows what this cover means, but overall and put into perspective my gut tells me it aint going to be a good fucking year for humanity and society.
Enough with the (that's supposed to be funny?!) over-analysis!
Beat me to it and well said.
Just look at all the "raised hands" overhead on this version!
Faaarrrrkkkkk
Did you notice the fishes staring up at Putin? Is going swimming in 2015?
Or are the koi being led by the Piper ? And is Hillary smiling at Vlad? What a couple.
Amazon via drone, sharing the sky with a mushroom cloud. 50th anniversary of the Brit rock invasion? Have to try and look at the cover from a British aristocrat viewpoint perhaps. And then there is that turtle, next to the land speed record holder. And the blond lady with the bird's nest - are the chickens coming home to roost. The ghost of Obummer's past vacation in Hawaii going up in smoke, Spidy leaping out of Abe's now-empty suit - it just goes on and on.
Most perplexing are the arrows labled 11.5 and 11.3 - and is O's fly unzipped ???
All food for thought.
I think the piper represents the rothchilds - the piper calls the tune.
NO.
It's the REAPER that calls the tune.
Don't fear the reaper...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUO_5EALZoM
No chickens. Those look like mallard wings.
Interesting to see my boy Bonaparte in color.
That picture is all wrong as I'd expect from The Economist. Whilst four of the five people standing in the front row are realistically placed, there's no way that Obola would be in that line with them, and certainly not in the centre. He'd be tucked way somewhere at the edge and trivialised.
Times They Are A Changin'.
That's where you're wrong. He's their boy...
That's a good take but ... ...
Soooo... you think Obama is an independent actor? Please explain his continuation of Bush policies and everywhere acting, decidedly, against the best interests of the USA.
but... ...
"... you think Obama is an independent actor? "
No, Obola's gameplan is not aligned with the plans of the other people on that front row. He looks out of place. As you say, he represents a continuation of Bush's (neo-con) policies, so he's not independent. And he certainly does not follow the best interests of the American people. Few Western governments do that.
So, he wouldn't be standing with Russia, China, Germany & India in a centre position. But since The Economist is an Establishment publication nowadays that stays on script, it couldn't portray him in any other way except at the centre of things.
Other than the sign and not enough niggers, that looks like my last CIA team. Before I quit.
Don't come back.
"Don't come back."
Back to what, exactly, Eirik?
I got recruited by a domestic fishing cover. The team was an ex SVA pilot, a Chinese bitch whose father did her work for her, a hot black (not very good)IT girl from Grenada, and an uncle I had no prior contact with. And me. I got into this after I fell out of my life op when an affirmative racist alleged baptist nigger in diguise (as a man, baby) assumed control of the HR. After he canned me for being white I burned that op to the ground. All my honorable friends expressed this by their actions, but FU CalT and HerschelF. You too, BruceM. Just like Snowden did. And paid for burning it. Just like Snowden, but quietly.
I did much worse, but I put the union of that previously ethical multinational fortune 10 corporation on strike. They took me down, I returned fire. Windows is great for individuals expressing our views. Novell is still a liability. I removed that violent nigger. Now like the rest he's a worm on my hook.
Did you think your competitors play fair? Wake up. The best of the best are not actors. At times its life or death. My friends are alive. But for me, and them, you would not exist.
I have no art in me. They took all the art my race is known for from me, before bootcamp. I was intended for one purpose, but I am not what they intended.
I faced death in combat. It changed me.
I am a trooper. I invested my life in you. I thought you would do better. Thats what we believe. I am optimistic for you, and this is why I do what I do. I don't like the queer regulations either.
Go work for the CIA. Or the military. Or the post office. Or the FBI. Or any GWO subsidized facist corporation. Performance reviews are out. After Nixon quotas, and keeping the stink in the jar is all that matters.
I don't need you. Blow away.
So did you quit since the guys above you took all the Credit?
- Or that the Work had no meaning, you couldn't talk about your work with your family, everything was secret?
- Or that there was no Ethics, Responsibility, Stewardship of US taxpayer money, no patriotism in a Fiscal Sense, Lots of Wasted Dollars especially when you know other black budget agencies are wasting even more Tax Payer or secret program dollars?
- Mission, Objectives, Goals don't match the real threats in the world?
- Lack of Integrity makes work seem like a meaningless game?
- The Organization like NSA, & DHS simply serves itself, justifies it's existence, and functions like an Empire or like someone's personal Military Agency?
- Oh yeah, did it seems like an old boy network, where you have to eat shit, kiss a little ass, try not to disagree with the big bosses or show them up... I can see lots of people would have a hard time with this.
Hard to guess what made you leave.
The 'Illuminati' was toast along with the economy in 08. The 'illuminati'
was unprepared for 08 and got caught off guard just like everyone else under the sun in the World. Since 08 the 'illuminati' has been wearing no cloths and their slight of hand on the economics of the World has been exposed to the entire World for what it really is. Bilderberg whores
are just as fucked as their counterparts in Gubberment and they are all linked to the same banking largesse. The 'illuminati' cannot remake itself and will rapidly die off due to their immediate problems of funding.
Whole governments are poised to go bust as we write on Z/H. The 'illuminati' has the plans of a failed and defunct regime but they don't comprehend that quite yet. Bottom line here is that the 'illuminati' are very afraid and grasping at straws to control the grapes of wrath coming down the pike of disenfranchisement that ends at their doorstep. Soon the 99% will be ringing their collective doorbells all at once.
I have read some other commentary on your thoughts as well. I would agree, to some degree, that we are witnessing what you referred to and is unfolding currently. I would also add that they will for damn sure make it living hell for many trying to keep ahold of what is slipping away, and like some cornered wild beast will not go down without one hell of a fight. The fact they feel the need to put so much symbology on public display is very telling indeed that they are not going to go away quietly.
Look at the symbolism of the turtle[USA] that will strike the Russian bear. The turtle is afraid and barking like a miniature poodle to perceived threat of nuclear war. The symbolism of the red ties that both Putin and O'Bummer are wearing is symbolic of the democratic tradition of diplomacy being red and communist, as well as Democrat USA. Putin is wearing sunglasses which indicates that the establishment does not want you to trust him because he is depicted as hiding something. The
grouping suggest that the USA is a central planner and player when in fact the USA is on lost territory before the war has even fired up. My points on this symbolism highlight an artist that is attempting to depict
resolute resolve where there is none as of yet. Taken together, we can assume that the owners of the rag and the artist's depiction symbolically translate to fear and worry on the part of the establishment and not the 99%. The establishment put all of us through the last unfolding and the next layer of the great unfolding will hit the 1% progressively on the next run. In my estimation they have already collapsed society by spending all the printed money over the last seven years on the stock market which is overinflated
to the point of bursting any time. The 99% certainly cannot bear anymore economic ruin but it will manifest whether we want it to or not. The poorest always get hit the hardest if parts of the system don't crash. When the entire system folds, the rich will suffer equally
along with the poor. If the USA prompts nukes nothing will matter at that juncture because we will all be crispy critters and collective on our next leg of ontological being.
Does the globe in shape of a football mean the only way the world is gonna rid itself of corruption in FIFA is to adapt the American version?
The footbal is sitting on a tee - ready to be booted. Asia, Europe and Africa are shown, so do we expect greater turmoil to descend upon those ares, as it did in wwI and wwII?
Also, the turtle is "shell shocked". So much symbolism for war on this cover.
The 'football' is what is used to lauch a nuclear war. The Middle East is in the center of it. The other globe has China in the center. There's no room for the US on either globe.
Sorry Fred but I think Action is more on the trail.
Football is an American game. America is ready for kickoff. The game to be played is for the world. This one will be the Superbowl of world politics and politics by other means.
Well the FUD started with Paris terror attack, 2015 will be tormented...
Grexit, Russia, Ukraine, NATO, ISIS, JPY collapse, China growing, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Israel/Palestine, Saudi Arabia and Oil, the "markets", etc, etc, Bullish.
Ordo ab chaos.
What I've done to God to reincarnate in this space and time !?
Isn't the top picture all the Politicians heading to France to get in front of the Cameras to claim participation in Ending the Terrorism Crisis.
Aren't they all going to hijack the France Protests against Terrorism... Freedom, Democracy, Equality, Brotherhood....??
Disgusting Opportunists. Perverts. Camera Whores.
They are already reinforcing anti-terrorist law to shut down website that "promote terrorist".
Individuals are already arrested because they posted an FB that they won't go to the JesuisCharlie protest !
I'm preparing myself to see my country that will become a fascist state with a French equivalent Patriot Act to fight the terror in the name
of Free speech !
I fear more of the aftermath of the attacks than the attacks themselves:

Been reading the Economist for 30 years. Great writers but like most economists they rarely get anything right. I wouldn`t worry too much about their cover art.
-- The Camel Fucking cover September 10-16, 1994 was a classic.
http://www.coverjunkie.com/blog/16-asmes-top-40/4/268
Just curious... if they rarely get it right why have you been reading them for 30 years? Or is it so worng you can use the essays as a counter indicator?
Why on earth would you read something for 30 years if they rarely get anything right?
Misdirection on your part perhaps?

Police during Paris standoff - Are the rifles 22s? No scope. Looks like some kind of joke. To me this is a kids squirral gun.

The one on the right (second link) has a .30 M1 carbine (not a squirrel gun but not overpowering either), can't tell about the other but wooden stocks are not modern tactical "tools of the trade" anymore.
It all smells of photo shop to me.
Some version of a ruger mini 30 or 14.
According to Wiki, the Mini 14 /30 is used by French Police units CRS.
An extra comment:
"The Ruger Mini-14 were seen extensively in the The A-Team an NBC television series that aired from 1983 to 1987 in a multitude of episodes. It was chosen because of its reputation for reliably firing blanks, which tend clog a gun's action."
Maybe some sort of french mas 49 7.5x45 semi auto?
The error level analysis is making a few of the rifles flat-out glow, meaning they've been tampered with somehow:
Picture 1 ELA
Picture 2 ELA
Picture 3 ELA
Only the third picture looks untouched to me. I think the pics might be legit but they futzed with the rifles to make them more promient? In any case the first 2 pics definitely are not as they were taken, and it's not just a simple lightening/darkening process but changes specific to the rifles.
These are CRS Riot Control Police.

Slightly more powerful than a 22, 223.
WB7's "STOP" would have been a much better cover choice.
As someone else mentioned, this is a bad rip-off of the Sgt. Pepper's album cover.

sad that all those people had to die or was it a double-cross where the executives were already in china working for the Rothschild's, or for the Rockefeller's
I willl stick with the cover of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon :-)
The cover reminds me of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band cover. It's similar in a lot of ways.
Not sure if the messaging interpretation is complete, but there's no question there's something contained in that cover. A call to those who are experts in symbolism in various fields, please do provide input.
Funny that Churchill is pictured behind Cameron. Churchill warned, at length, about the dangers of socialism. Cameron is a socialist in every way but name. Guess who has a mushroom cloud over his head.
Most interesting. The lower right area really picqued my interest... The painting lower right is 'La belle ferronnière' by Davinci, and it has a very interesting bit of folklore behind it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_belle_ferronni%C3%A8re
It appears to me to be sitting in a pile of gold dust and nuggets as opposed to a 'pile of dirt' as stated in the article.

The artwork for Alice and the Cheshire cat were lifted from the original illustration by John Tenniel: http://www.1st-art-gallery.com/John-Tenniel/Alice-And-The-Cheshire-Cat,-...
The text from the the page of the book that the image is on is quite interesting: https://gs1.wac.edgecastcdn.net/8019B6/data.tumblr.com/315fa84c61924bf36...
Interesting points. Notable too is that the arrows are not actually penetrating the "dust". Still, if it is gold on the floor, broken apart, it could be an indicator of the success of smashing the gold price, which is due to continue in 2015. I mean, it's on the floor.
The only problem with making inferences if you don't know the secret handshake is that anyone could create their own blend of images based upon something they have intimate knowledge of, and those with nary a chance of decoding the images would very likely come up with all sorts of VERY LOGICAL inferences.
The point of this sort of symbolic imagery is to, first, communicate a message to fellow elites and, second, to give the public clues, i.e. "full disclosure", given in bits and pieces and snippets, so they can claim a clean conscious.

What's up with the drumset in the lower left corner? It says "50th" on the drum head. 50th what? The kit is marked with the US flag, while the guitar is marked with the union jack, and the brit guitar is puncturing the bass drum.
The color scheme is the opposite of Sgt Peppers, where the Beatles were in the foreground in color while everyone else was in black and white.
And why is Winston Churchill in there?
Maybe they just chose this cover so they all could come over to zerohedge for a laugh after it was published.
I thought Winston's rocket hat was pretty good & the eye of Horus on the globe.

When you google "ghost holiday" you get hits about a Chinese festival, quite interesting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Festival
The ghost festival day falls in the 7th lunar month, and in fact that month is called "the ghost month". This year that will be August in the Western calendar.
Synchronicity Lord koos, check this, just found it an hour ago.
Regarding the ghost holiday in July...
The month of July is still called by it's ancient name Tammuz today in Iraq.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammuz_%28Babylonian_calendar%29
Origin:
Beginning with the summer solstice came a time of mourning in the Ancient Near East, as in the Aegean: the Babylonians marked the decline in daylight hours and the onset of killing summer heat and drought with a six-day "funeral" for the god. Recent discoveries reconfirm him as an annual life-death-rebirth deity: tablets discovered in 1963 show that Dumuzi was in fact consigned to the Underworld himself, in order to secure Inanna's release,[2] though the recovered final line reveals that he is to revive for six months of each year (see below).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammuz_%28deity%29https://en.wikipedia.org...
"Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto to me, 'Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these." —Ezekiel 8:14-15

3.11 and 5.11 may be dates of this year: 3rd and 5th of November, or 11th of March and 11th of May. Are they dates for a massive false flag attack? Something orders of magnitude larger than 9/11?

I came across this first , then reasearched by gut, IN THIS ORDER.
The Sumerian king list: translationhttp://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section2/tr211.htm
On instinct, I looked up this god that was in this large document.
Dumuzid, the shepherd, ruled for 36000 years
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumuzid_the_Shepherd
https://suite.io/robert-mcroberts/2fjm2z5
DeityLater poems and hymns of praise to Dumuzid indicate that he was later considered a deity, a precursor of the Babylonian god Tammuz (July)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammuz_%28deity%29
That led me here to see if these are related - Dumuzid - Druid
The symbols of Christmas, their Origins and Today a Wiccan ... came to paganise Christianity by introducing these things. ... Legend has it mistletoe was cut only at summer and winter solstice by way of a Druid elder climbing the tree. ... after the death of Tammuz/Dumuzid rather than before and that her purpose was to rescue Tammuz /Dumuzid. Recent discoveries reconfirm him as an annual life-death-rebirth deity: In short, solstice symbolism.See the clown fish at the lower left who is coming out from its anemone cluster?
Clown fish hide and keep safe in the poisonous anemone, where enemies can't go. Is this an analogy to TPTB, who have hidden inside their impenetrable and poisonous to others world paradigm, but are now compelled to come out and defend and extend this status quo?
The Fabian turtle front and center seems to suggest that as well. It really does look madder than ever and ready to strike.
You can see Napoleon Bonaparte (in color) in the back area, with a gray hand next to him.

The analysis of the Fabian club was very good....their agenda control and depopulation never changed. The turtle looks like it is hobbling with a discolored rear leg..its hurt..that can be as bad as a three legged giraffe..at least bears if leg hurt can walk upright like a man and smack you with a salmon. It also has 11 empasis lines and different numbers of nails , 9 on legs.. like a clock time..4/11 2 /11 and 3/11 respectiviley ..etc.. Ill post later. peace out.

The symbolism of the red and the white on the battery and also its polarity are intriguing.
1. On polarity - the poles switching in the Earth's magnetic field (potential extinction event):
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/earth-s-magnetic-field-flip-co...
2. Symbolism of Red and White could allude to the US and Russia - below an excerpt from an interview where Dr. Carl G. Jung is asked about being drawn by Prof. Arnold J. Toynbee's ideas on the history of civilisations - to students of psychology and history respectively, these two men need no introduction. Jung was also (arguably) the most eminent authority on sybolism the modern West has had:

What an interesting Economist cover. Was this issue only available in Japan? I can't find it on Economist website anywhere (even the issue "The World in 2015). Was this Japan only special print edition?
1. Why is Churchill's 50th year death aniversary so important (see 50th drums at the bottom left with UK flag on the guitar), and Churchill's signiture peace sign.
2. The photo is straigtht from the Royal Mint website: http://www.royalmint.com/shop/Winston_Churchill_5_pound_Brilliant_Uncirc...
3. The globe shaped as football on a tee, "about to kickoff"?
4. why the clownfish? Is there some article about clownfish in that edition?
Clown Fish are an interesting symbol. Also called anemone fish, they live among poisonous sea anemone tentacles for protection, and secrete a coating that protects from the poison. It is a mutually beneficial relationship, as the anemone feeds on the clownfish waste and benefits from the movements of the clown fish within the tentacles. Clownfish are also matriarchal hermaphrodites-- they are all born male, but the most dominant becomes a female and lays the eggs fertalized by the second most dominant male who rises to take the dominant female position when the "female" dies.
Could be a symbol that we all need protection of mutually beneficial relationships in the coming collapse, or that Putin's relationship to China-- counterweight to the US and large holder of US Treasuries, protects him.
The ghost with the holiday brochure could be a harbinger of Obama's death while on holiday. Chesire cat could also symbolize his disappearance. The pile of dirt looks like a freshly filled grave, and Alice seems to be looking directly at Obama who seems to be waving goodby.
11/5 is Guy Fawkes day. Guy Fawkes, a Catholic, tried to assasinate James 1 due to the Monarchy's disdain for the Catholic religion, but was caught. The day was first celebrated as a day that a traitor to the crown of England was caught. Now Guy Fawkes has become a heroic symbol of one who rejects tyranny. Might the future assasin be villanized at first only to later be made a hero for taking out Obama, a traitor to the US since he is Usurping the office, nullifying the constitution itself? Alice could be a symbol of the US, coming of age and seeing throgh the looking glass at the empty suit British subject Obama, who disappears, leaving only his grin.
11/3 is the one year anniversary of the reopening of One World Trade Center.
this cover can mean anything you want it to mean.
and by the way 2014 was also 'surreal and sinister'
maybe dan brown can interpret it for us.
as the old saying goes: 'opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one"
having an agenda does not mean accomplishing it.
f*ck your elites, so far their performance has been less than remarkable.
The ghost and the Cheshire cat symbolize Obama, who's provenance is anything but verified and all but hidden. The blue suit seems like a clip on for a cardboard doll. The Chesire Cat is known to disappear, leaving only its grin. Interesting that Obama claims that he lived in Indonesia as a child when his mother married Lolo Soetoro, and the current President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, a splitting image of Obama (and only a few months older, yet looks like a much younger Obama) is pictured under the word "world".
