Geopolitical and financial analyst Charles Nenner, has had a good track record in predicting major economic events, such as financial crises. Now he is predicting that the world is now entering a war cycle, having moved from a restless “peace” cycle, and World War III will be the big one, with the death toll accounting for a third of the world. Nenner does not detail how he got this figure, but it is possible depending upon what destructive devices are used, that the toll could be greater. For example, the late Dr Peter Pry, executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security (see links below) estimated that with utility breakdown from an EMP attack, 90 percent of the population would die. People in the modern West are very dependent upon the grid, even for water and if this goes down, they do as well. Something to be deeply concerned about, since the use of EMP weapons features in the Russian, and communist China, defence programs, and China has super-EMP weapons that could take out the grid of an entire country.
