A time of aggression, provocation, and frayed nerves
Forecast: Universal forecast for October 2026, part 3 (published October 12, 2026, link)
S. Dragan:
…This time (the beginning of November) is very aggressive, provocative, playing on the nerves of all observers, especially of geopolitical processes. The issues of energy problems, of … explosions and actions contrary to logic, simply out of malice, will arise again.
…And yes, we will hear many statements that resemble a demonstration more than reality. Against this backdrop, all trends related to energy resources, stock market, and financial issues may fluctuate…

S. Dragan:
…At the beginning of November … globally, much may look as though the scriptwriters from the global elite are hurrying to implement their plan as soon as possible, and this may appear dramatic to ordinary people…

S. Dragan:
…The thing is that, unnoticed by everyone, a war is underway at another level. … The only thing that is not subject to the legal system and is not regulated in any way is cyberspace…
The fact that “one island of eventfulness was the period around October 30, 2026, which introduced certain fluctuations into events” was discussed in the Confirmation “An Island of Eventfulness — the Period Around October 30, 2026,” dated November 3, 2026.
But “eventfulness,” as forecast, continued in early November 2026.
“…The thing is that, unnoticed by everyone, a war is underway at another level. The only thing that is not subject to the legal system and is not regulated in any way is cyberspace…” Likewise, “the issues of energy problems were raised…”.
While the West is trying to blame Russia for all the problems arising in the EU, including energy supply and cyberattacks, international criminal groups are carrying out massive hacker attacks on banks.
The Binance hack (October 29, 2026). This is the largest theft in history: the perpetrators stole approximately $6.3 billion. The hackers gained access to the system by compromising a DevOps engineer’s laptop. They prepared malware and massively withdrew assets from the exchange’s hot wallets. Analysts at TRM Labs and Chainalysis linked the attack to the North Korean TraderTraitor group. Part of the funds, approximately $2.85 billion, was frozen by the exchange and its partners, but the perpetrators attempted to “launder” the rest—for example, by routing it through specially issued memecoins on the NEAR network to obscure the trail.
On November 1, 2026, the largest cyber robbery of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa occurred in France. On November 4, 2026, the bank confirmed the theft of $133 million.
Paraguay’s central bank halted the bank’s operations on November 3, 2026, as Ueno Bank was unable to meet reserve requirements and had serious problems with risky internal loans. It served around 3 million customers, approximately 60% of the country’s adult population, and managed substantial state and pension funds.
An accounting hole at Ueno Bank “evaporated” public funds. The local central bank placed the bank under external administration, but people’s accounts are frozen.
On November 3, 2026, Sweden’s Swish banking system experienced an outage.
On November 3, 2026, 427 unauthorized transfers totaling approximately NT$41.76 million, roughly US$1.2–1.3 million, were recorded at Bank SinoPac in Taiwan. Hackers exploited security settings at the system provider.
On November 3, 2026, the digital currency bank Ueno Bank was shut down in Paraguay—3 million depositors were affected.
On November 4, 2026, PostBank was not functioning in Germany. Deutsche Bank ceased operations for one hour.
On November 4, 2026, ASB Bank in New Zealand experienced an online banking outage. It lasted nine hours.
On November 6, 2026, a major outage affected 128 cooperative banks (shinkin banks) in western Japan. The incident paralyzed 3,430 branches. ATMs, payment terminals, and online banking services were simultaneously shut down at the affected banks. This was not a cyberattack.
At Ozon Bank (Russia), on November 6, 2026, customers complained of being unable to log into the app, make payments, or transfer funds. The bank confirmed a serious outage.
On November 9, 2026, four banks in Spain experienced a disruption in payments through the Tink system. It affected BBVA, Bankinter, Imagin, and CaixaBank.
It was not only the banking sector that was subjected to cyberattacks.
On November 2, 2026, hackers disabled refrigerators in stores of retail chains in at least seven EU countries, according to European media reports.
It is noted that the cyberattacks affected dozens of companies. The perpetrators took control of the equipment and activated defrost mode.
As of November 5, 2026, cyberattacks on refrigerator control systems in several countries had caused freezer units to heat up to +55 °C, damaging goods worth millions of euros.
In November 2026, “the issues of explosions” or threats of terrorist attacks also did not go unnoticed. Around 15 passenger flights in Europe received bomb threats on November 5, 2026. Planes were diverted to other airfields, escorted by fighter jets, and inspected after landing. The affected carriers included Aer Lingus, Ryanair, Wizz Air, LOT, and Finnair. No explosives were found on the inspected aircraft.
On the afternoon of November 7, 2026, in central Krakow, a man opened fire on passersby from a car. Six people were killed in the attack, and another 15 were injured. Among the victims was a Russian citizen. Later, the bodies of several more victims were found in the shooter’s home.
What caused this crime is unclear.
“We have no data on the basis of which we could responsibly state that he was inspired by any particular ideology,” said Przemysław Nowak, a representative of the national prosecutor’s office.
How else can one perceive the aforementioned actions of destroying food in refrigerators, creating panic among airline passengers, and the chaotic, unprovoked shooting of unarmed innocent people, if not as “actions contrary to logic, simply out of malice”.
Furthermore, “…and yes, we heard many statements that resembled a demonstration more than reality”.
On November 4, 2026, the Financial Times (FT) reported that two tankers carrying Russian diesel fuel, originally bound for the United States, had changed course.
The head of the RDIF, K. Dmitriev, countered this lie: “Fake. The tankers heading to the United States continue on their course. Why is there so much fake news in the FT?”.
Accusations that Russia was involved in hacker attacks on grocery store refrigerators in EU countries are “absolutely absurd” and have no evidence whatsoever, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on November 5, 2026.
He was commenting on publications by certain European media outlets claiming that two hacker groups allegedly operating in Russia were behind a series of cyberattacks on supermarket refrigeration equipment in EU countries.
The period examined in the Confirmation was “…very aggressive, provocative, playing on the nerves of all observers, especially of geopolitical processes”.
Large-scale protest actions, in many cases accompanied by riots and arson, continued in Europe in early November 2026. The United Kingdom and Switzerland joined France, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands. In several cities, demonstrations escalated into unrest.
The scale of the protest demonstrations is evidenced by the fact that some leaders of European states began working out plans for their evacuation (escape).
If unrest in Paris reaches an attempt to seize the Élysée Palace, French President Emmanuel Macron may be taken to a shelter outside the capital. Journalists Pierre Gastineau, Antoine Izambard, and Franck Renaud write about this scenario in the book “The New Shadow Army.”
Analyzing the above and a whole series of other events from early November, one may conclude that going forward as well, “…globally, much may look as though the scriptwriters from the global elite are hurrying to implement their plan as soon as possible, and this may appear dramatic to ordinary people…”.
To be continued…
