KINGSTON, N.Y. - HaryanaBlog -- The year ahead promises to be one of the most turbulent for tracking global trends. With the U.S. attack on Venezuela and capture of its president this past weekend, the world is closer than ever to World War III, which we have long forecast would only become official if there was a false flag event.

As we step into 2026, The Trends Journal has highlighted 12 trends that will shape the year ahead, including World War III. From political power plays leading up to midterm elections to militarization, from economic uncertainties to Dot-Com Bust 2.0 and GEN Z revolutions, our top trends will help you prepare, prevail and prosper in these unprecedented times ahead.

As President Donald Trump continues his Presidential Reality Show stint, doing whatever he wants, changing his mind, promising one thing and doing another, the president that wants Peace on Earth, continues to ignite the fires of war. He has been unable to end the Ukraine War, and he continues to support Israel's genocide in Gaza and a possible future war with Iran, which would sink the global economy.
