Japan economy goes down,
Historical REPEAT
Japan's economy experienced a prolonged downturn beginning in the early 1990s, often referred to as the Lost Decades, triggered by the bursting of a massive asset price bubble in real estate and stocks
Japan's economy is facing significant headwinds in early 2026, with several key risks impacting growth and market stability. Japan’s GDP is projected to fall behind India’s by 2026, according to IMF estimates, pushing the nation to fifth place globally, driven by a shrinking population, weak exports, and a persistently weak yen.
Fall of the Berlin wall
HISTORY REPEAT
The GDR collapsed entirely within weeks, and the economy formally collapsed after reunification, when the East German currency was replaced at a 1:1 rate with the West German Deutsche Mark—leading to hyperinflation and the devaluation of savings. The massive financial burden of reunification, with over €1.6 trillion invested in the East, further strained the West German economy in the years that followed.
(The next round of negotiations was delayed in early February 2026 after a surprise meeting between U.S. and Russian envoy) .
Gaza Reconstruction and Political Changes: The White House’s leaked reconstruction plan for Gaza, set for implementation in 2026, could lead to significant territorial and political restructuring. However, this involves international-led development rather than the formation of a new sovereign nation.
Threat of war in middle east leading to a wall street crash?
HISTORY REPEAT
The 1987 Black Monday crash and the 2008 financial crisis were also linked to geopolitical and economic tensions, but not directly by an imminent war threat. In contrast, the 2025 market rout linked to Donald Trump’s “liberation day” tariff plan has drawn comparisons to the 1929 crash due to fears of a global recession, though no war threat was involved.
Virus Causes Market crash
HISTORY REPEAT,
The COVID-19 pandemic was the primary catalyst for the 2020 stock market crash, triggering global economic shutdowns, panic selling, and a sharp decline in investor confidence. The crash began on 20 February 2020, with markets reacting to the rapid spread of the virus and the growing fear of a global recession. Key events included:
Black Monday I (9 March): The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2,014 points (−7.79%).
Black Thursday (12 March): The Dow fell 2,352 points (−9.99%), marking the worst single-day percentage drop since 1987.
Black Monday II (16 March): The Dow plunged nearly 3,000 points (−12.93%), the largest one-day point drop in history at the time
Nipah virus 2026
This outbreak underscores ongoing risks in regions with seasonal bat activity and cultural practices involving raw palm sap, with previous outbreaks in Kerala (since 2018) and West Bengal (2001, 2007). The WHO continues to prioritize Nipah virus for research and development of medical countermeasures.

HISTORY DOESN’T REPEAT
SUN Spot 2934982098384 Explodes a X class earth directed flare.
It takes out the Power Grids of North America in the biggest Data black out ever recorded in human history. There is blame on each side that cables were cut but it seems that North Korea and all the enemies are suffering a outage due to plasma
The short answer is: An X-class flare by itself won’t shut down the internet, but the “Solar Storm” that often follows it technically could.
In the world of space weather, we have to distinguish between the flare (light/radiation) and the CME (a physical cloud of plasma). Here is how each one affects your Wi-Fi and global connectivity:
