A self-styled mystic known as the 'Living Nostradamus' has released his predictions for 2026, warning of severe solar storms and escalating international conflicts. Brazilian Athos Salomé, who claims to have foreseen the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the Covid-19 pandemic, says the coming year could bring significant disruption.
Salomé warns that solar storms pose the most immediate threat, with a potential event as early as March 2026. He cites 'consistent evidence' of increasing solar instability, which could cause power cuts, communication failures and technological disruption. NASA confirms solar storms occur every 11 years and can disrupt Earth's magnetic field, though it says such events are unlikely to affect the general public.
On the geopolitical front, Salomé predicts heightened tensions with Russia, including the movement of missile systems to strategic Arctic areas. He claims Russia could call up around 800,000 reservists by March 2026, increasing the likelihood of direct confrontations with NATO. This follows warnings from NATO chief Mark Rutte that the UK faces the 'greatest military threat of a generation'.
The mystic's forecasts come amid ongoing war in Ukraine, with President Zelensky ruling out territorial concessions. A peace proposal reportedly drafted by Washington and Moscow suggests significant Ukrainian territory could be surrendered to Russia, with limits placed on Kyiv's military. Salomé urges focus on solar storm risks, describing them as 'the most plausible scenario' for immediate impact on daily life.
