“An Era of Shock Events” Is Coming, Says WEF
The world must brace for “an era of shock events,” according to the World Economic Forum.
In a new opinion piece posted on the Forum’s website, Professor Maha Hosain Aziz, of New York University, says that the coming decade will be “shaped by heightened global risk and unpredictable shock events.”
“Anything can happen in our post-pandemic era,” Aziz claims.
He goes on to list three potential “shock events” that could happen soon.
The first is the emergence of a “new global extremist group,” which the professor claims could use AI to create a new kind of terrorism.
“With the world distracted with multiple major wars and leadership in decline, this could be an opportunistic time for a new extremist group to make its mark—and maybe not face as many consequences. Perhaps, it will even leverage AI tools to kick off a new phase of terrorism.”
The next potential “shock event” is a deliberate “cyber pandemic.” Aziz points to the recent Crowdstrike outage, which crippled computer systems worldwide, as an example of the chaos and damage a large-scale cyberattack could cause. The outage cost Fortune 500 companies $5.4 billion alone.
“Imagine if a bad actor did this—on purpose and an even grander scale?”
Professor Aziz’s final prediction is that a small island nation could sink under the ocean due to climate change.
“The COP28 plan to phase out fossil fuels may take decades and it’s unclear if world leaders will follow through.What’s more probable is that in the meantime certain island nations (who emit only 0.3% of global emissions) will keep fighting their cause, whether it is through international law or new climate funds. But, if these islands do succumb to climate change, sinking a lot faster than we expect, how will climate activists and world leaders react?”
Other predictions made by Professor Aziz include the dispersal of global power away from the US, which is “burdened with global wars and domestic challenges;” that the “recurrent crisis of political legitimacy,” in the US and abroad, will deepen; and there will be a “more complex global mental health crisis.”
In 2022, WEF founder Klaus Schwab warned that the world must prepare for “the frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack,” which would make the COVID-19 pandemic seem like a “small disturbance” by comparison.
Three Killed in Knife Attack at German “Festival of Diversity”
At least three people were killed and several others injured in a knife attack at a festival in Germany.
The attack took place at the “Festival of Diversity” in the German city of Solingen, at about 9.40pm local time. The attacker fled the scene and has yet to be apprehended.
In a statement, police said that eight people were injured, at least five of them seriously. Earlier reports suggested four people had been seriously injured.
According to eyewitnesses, the attacker was a lone male, wielding a knife. He is said to have attacked visitors to the festival indiscriminately.
The attacker has been described on social media as an “Arab man.”
The authorities, however, have remained tight-lipped about the attacker’s identity.
“No one knows who the attacker is,” said Herbert Reul, interior minister of the region.
“We should not spread speculations now. There are simply no confirmed facts yet.”
“Even if any eyewitness said this or that, doesn’t mean its true,” Reul added. “Many impressions are influenced by the stress and shock of the moment.”
The Festival of Diversity was being held in the city to celebrate its 650th anniversary. It was expected to draw 75,000 people over this weekend, with events including music, theatre and acrobatics. A children’s parade was held earlier in the day on Friday, before the attack.
Trump Announces Chronic-Disease Panel with RFK Jr.
Investigating the massive increase in chronic diseases among Americans will be one of the top priorities of a new Trump administration, the former president said at a rally in Arizona on Friday.
Donald Trump was joined on stage by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who threw his full endorsement behind him after dropping out of the presidential race earlier on Friday.
As the two men stood on stage together, Trump praised RFK Jr. for his decades of work on environmentalism and health, and said that he would establish a presidential commission into chronic diseases, something he promised to do when RFK Jr. first announced his candidacy in 2023.
“Nobody’s done more” than RFK Jr. to “advocate for the health of our families and children,” Trump said.
“Millions and millions of Americans who want clean air, clean water, and a healthy nation have concerns about toxins in our environment and pesticides in our food. That’s why today I’m repeating my pledge to establish a panel of top experts working with Bobby to investigate what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases,” he added.
ITS REALLY HAPPENING‼️

He said that four more years of Democratic rule would “complete the consolidation of corporate and neocon power, and our children will be the ones that suffer most.”
RFK Jr. described watching a generation of children grow up “damaged” as a result of environmental pollution.
“For 19 years I prayed, every morning, that God would put me in a position to end this calamity. The chronic-disease crisis was one of my primary reasons for running for president, along with ending the censorship and the Ukraine war.”
RFK Jr. also revealed that he had attempted to speak with Kamala Harris before making his decision, but he was rebuffed.
“Vice president Harris decline to meet or even speak with me,” he said.
He added that although there are “still issues and approaches upon which we continue to have very serious differences,” he and Trump are “aligned with each other on other key issues, like ending the Forever Wars, ending the childhood disease epidemics, securing the border, protecting freedom of speech, unravelling the corporate capture of our regulatory agencies, getting the US intelligence agency is out of the business of propagandizing and censoring and surveilling Americans, and interfering with our elections.”
