Footnote: What Did 'The Economist' Know Back in 2013?
WTF does this old cover tell us about 'global events' of the past decade?
Noteworthy aspects incl.
the Devil himself standing next to the ‘apparatus’ with the label ‘Climate Change’ (although the ™ is missing, I’d argue)
Hamas and Mr. Netanyahoo using paragliders (!) to fight it out
the slowly sinking Euro, perhaps incidentally next to Mr. Obama sitting in a boat with the name ‘Pride’
Here, by the way, is the editorial of said 22 Dec. 2012-4 Jan. 2013 edition.
What do you, dear readers, think?
Time magazine also has some interesting front covers. I saw a painting by a female artist the other day with GW Bush sitting on the floor in front of 2 knocked over Jenga wooden bricks towers, in his hand a paper aeroplane! Also, the 2 opening Olympic ceremonies of Barcelona and London, with human viruses, grim reaper holding a giant syringe, dancing nurses, not forgetting Boris characature ill in hospital bed, I realised we are in the Truman Show - another predictive future revelation.
Oh, it's just a coincidence!
