Craig Hamilton-Parker, a British psychic medium often dubbed the “Prophet of Doom” and, by some outlets, the “New Nostradamus,” has built a global following on YouTube and social media through a steady stream of geopolitical and disaster predictions. His forecasts range from pandemics and political upheaval to coups, assassinations and environmental catastrophe. In recent weeks, he has outlined a series of warnings for 2026, a year he describes as potentially turbulent, shaped by global conflict, cyber disruption and shifting alliances. Supporters point to earlier predictions that appear to have aligned with real-world events as evidence of credibility. Critics argue that many forecasts are broad, conditional or made in politically charged contexts.
The predictions that built his reputation
Hamilton-Parker’s public profile rests largely on a cluster of high-profile political and global events he claims to have anticipated.
Coronavirus pandemic
Hamilton-Parker has said he foresaw a major global pandemic as early as 2017, predicting in one of many videos posted around 2017–2018 that it could emerge toward the end of 2017 or the beginning of 2018. He clarified that it wouldn’t be as catastrophic as historic pandemics, such as the “Big Pig Flus” that killed thousands after the First World War, but he expected warnings and public concern, and even suggested the possibility of biological subterfuge, potentially linked to bioterrorism. While COVID-19, which began in late 2019 and swept the globe in 2020, was not officially classified as an act of bioterrorism, it brought unprecedented disruption. The World Health Organization reports that the global death toll stands at just over seven million. Supporters cite his pre-2020 commentary as evidence that he anticipated a large-scale health crisis before it became mainstream.
Brexit and the rise of Boris Johnson
Hamilton-Parker also claims to have predicted the UK’s decision to leave the European Union in the 2016 referendum. According to archived videos and a 2017 HuffPost report, he additionally suggested that Boris Johnson would rise to the role of Prime Minister in the aftermath of Brexit, which he eventually did in 2019. He previously stated that a hard Brexit would lead to the UK “thriving,” a claim that remains politically debated, particularly as the current government under Keir Starmer has signalled closer alignment with European partners.
Russia’s move against Ukraine
In November 2021, Hamilton-Parker said Britain would be drawn into a new conflict after Russia “takes some moves against Ukraine.” Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. It is worth noting that Russia had been massing troops near Ukraine’s border for months prior, and Western intelligence agencies had publicly warned of a potential invasion.
Queen Elizabeth II’s death
In October 2021, Hamilton-Parker stated that Queen Elizabeth II would “make it past her Platinum Jubilee” before experiencing a “sudden and quick” deterioration leading to her death in late 2022. The Queen died on 8 September 2022 at the age of 96, shortly after the Platinum Jubilee celebrations earlier that year.
The attempted assassination of Donald Trump
In July 2024, Hamilton-Parker told astrologer Joni Patry that Donald Trump would face a threat against his life during the 2024 election campaign, saying: “That will fail but he might get wounded or something.”Days later, at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks attempted to shoot Trump. The attempt failed, though Trump sustained an ear injury.

These instances form the foundation of Hamilton-Parker’s credibility among followers, and frame the weight many attach to his new forecasts.
The 2026 forecast: A year of escalation?
Hamilton-Parker describes 2026 as a period of overlapping crises. He suggests that geopolitical tensions, cyber disruption and environmental catastrophe could converge in ways that test democratic institutions. He frequently references spiritual readings and ancient Indian Nadi texts, palm-leaf manuscripts traditionally used in Tamil Nadu, which purport to contain life predictions based on thumb impressions and karmic history. According to Hamilton-Parker, these readings suggest a reordering of global alliances.
A third term for Donald Trump ?
One of his most controversial 2026 forecasts concerns the United States presidency. Responding to a viewer’s question about whether Donald Trump could pursue a third or even fourth term, Hamilton-Parker reiterated an earlier prediction: “To reiterate what I said at the time, I felt there would be some big global conflict, possibly involving Taiwan,” he said. “Looking at it now, it could be any global conflict. I know a lot of people have criticised this, saying you cannot have a third term because it is written in the Constitution, but who knows? Things have changed so much in the world.” He suggests that emergency measures could be triggered during a period of global instability, potentially disrupting conventional electoral procedures: “Something will occur that overturns the existing rules, and that period will be a time of great conflict.” He also revisits a prediction he says he made in 2015, that China and Russia would align against the United States: “At the time, it seemed impossible because they were certainly not friendly. Yet I saw them joining together in conflict with the USA. So could that be what I’m seeing now? Or could it involve Iran instead? My feeling is that around that period, we will see many conflicts emerging in 2026.”
A gas cloud over Japan
Hamilton-Parker has repeatedly warned of a catastrophic gas cloud event in Japan in August 2026, first mentioned in his 2015 book Messages from the Universe. “In one of my Nadi readings, it suggested that I would warn the world about a country being completely enveloped in a gas cloud,” he said. “More recently, further information has emerged confirming Japan as the likely location, with an approximate timing of August 2026. We even have an approximate location in the north of the country.” He has emphasised that the future is not fixed: “The Nadi teachings stress that the future can be changed. Part of the reason I’m sharing this is to encourage people to send positive thoughts, prayers, and visualisations to help reduce the impact.” He has speculated about possible causes, including volcanic activity or even deliberate escalation: “Could something like a bomb be used to intensify a gas cloud or volcanic activity? That would suggest a clandestine form of attack.” Alongside this, he warns of a major cyber event: “In 2026, there could be a major cyber event causing financial disruption, affecting cryptocurrencies, industry, and even the AI market. Gold may rise and then fall. We need to be cautious.” He advised practical precautions: “Make sure you back everything up and don’t rely solely on cloud storage. This could be bigger than anything we’ve seen before.”
Iran: Targeted strikes and rapid escalation
Hamilton-Parker has long forecast military action involving Iran. Having previously predicted attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, which he believes have since occurred, he now anticipates a second wave in March 2026. “I believe this will happen in March 2026,” he said. “We will see very targeted attacks, not just on the leadership, but also on the remaining nuclear facilities, because they cannot be left intact.”

He envisages a swift and limited operation: “It will escalate quickly, then stop. A sudden hit followed by withdrawal, leaving the outcome to the Iranian people. I do not sense boots on the ground, rather, airstrikes and swift action.” He acknowledges uncertainty over outcomes: “Revolutions do not always lead to the outcomes people hope for; sometimes worse regimes take control. I’m not saying that will happen here, but it is a risk.” He also references symbolic imagery from earlier readings, “yellow and red flags” and “a lion soaring above Iran,” which he believes correspond to unfolding events.
Greenland, Chagos and resource politics
On Greenland, Hamilton-Parker frames the issue primarily in economic terms. “My first reaction was that this has little to do with the military, even though Greenland is strategically important,” he said. “It’s really about real estate, oil reserves and, most importantly, rare earth metals.” He predicts economic pressure rather than invasion: “This appears more like pressure and posturing that will culminate in a major economic arrangement. A deal will be struck, potentially involving very large payments connected to Greenland’s resources.”

On the Chagos Islands dispute, he was blunt: “Chagos, I agree. It was a crazy deal, and most people in the UK see it as madness to give away these islands. I don’t think the deal will proceed, Starmer’s manoeuvre is a repeat of past reckless politics, and it will backfire.”
NATO, China and a 2030 turning point
Looking beyond 2026, Hamilton-Parker suggests that NATO may fragment or evolve, eventually giving rise to a new peacekeeping body around 2030. “No single country wants the burden of policing the world,” he said. “The UN has always been toothless, intervening late. I feel a new organization will emerge, possibly from changes in NATO, the UN, and Trump’s initiatives, to maintain peace through conflict management.” He also expressed skepticism about Trump’s initiative, the so-called ‘Peace Board,’ and suggested he does not see it as the replacement for the UN that he envisions. China features heavily in his outlook. He points to internal political upheaval and economic instability as potential catalysts for global disruption, including increased tensions around Taiwan. “Economic problems in China could trigger political unrest, which will dominate global attention in 2026,” he said.
He has also criticised UK engagement with China, arguing that infrastructure and technology partnerships carry risk. Hamilton-Parker’s forecasts for 2026 converge around a theme of overlapping crises that could reshape alliances and test institutions, and in the video, he predicted that 2030 will be a critical year when the world may begin seeking peace and addressing major global challenges.
