Discover the profound insights of Fred Harrison, the visionary economic writer whose groundbreaking theories offer solutions to some of the worlds most urgent challenges. Renowned for his accurate predictions of the past two recessions, Harrison now shares his compelling forecast for the next economic collapse in 2026, which he anticipates will be far more significant. Harrison details how an intricate convergence of global pressures is poised to ignite widespread war and conflict.

As economies worldwide descend into a global depression, this will coincide with escalating social, political, and environmental turmoil. As an additional point of discussion, Harrison identifies another formidable threat: the rise of Artificial Autonomous Intelligence, breaking away from humans and consuming the energy humans need to survive.

Good for you to post this Scott. Its spooky how things are playing out so close to the Georgist super cycle claim for 2026.

Someone on Quora prompted the following dialog.

Q: Do you believe there will be an armed rebellion within the United States against Trump? How would it look?

A: If Trump continues down this path of using the military to take over cities, there will eventually be an armed rebellion, yes. And once he cancels the mid-terms (His ultimate goal), there will CERTAINLY be an armed rebellion. And once that happens., China will annex Taiwan. Putin will nuke Kviv, and the United States as we knew it will be a footnote in history. China and India will dominate the global economy from then on.
Normally, I would have dismissed such alarmist talk, but we don't live in normal times, or have a normal president, and we should be alarmed. This fits in with Harrison's prediction too.

More bothered by Trump's & Vance words than boggy man rhetoric at Putin. In 2 sound bites over a week recall this:

"Vance, Russia and China are our 2 biggest economic threats. The US Military will take care of that."

Trump, "The Dollar is king and our US Military will keep it that way." Explaining losing the dollar would be worst than losing a world war,,.

I hope the BRICS Nation Banking system destroys the blood stained dollar. Maybe the Vatican can save the UK Pound?

Yes, I agree. Aggressive military chest pumping and desperation, not correct policy (e.g. not imposing sanctions and/or tariffs on every country), to keep the dollar as the world's reserve currency, are two of the biggest threats to humanity now. I'm sure Harrison, whom I know and have worked with personally, would agree.
