In principle, YES, if we want to avoid them. In practice, NO: the forecast is dismissed, and the failure to acknowledge the “Quésako Cycle” means that it isn’t even assessed or recognized.
In Appendices 5 and 6 of the book “A cyclical phenomenon that favors war?“, there are two partial excerpts from the predictions made in late December 2021 regarding the risks of war in Europe and in the Arab-Israeli conflict. The risks of war have been confirmed by the facts.
No one took into account the risks of war described in late 2021
There are many reasons:
- First, there were no publications in credible journals, nor even any book publications, prior to 2025,
- The majority of Western (and even non-Western) researchers have, until now, viewed this research with indifference—research that hasn’t even been peer-reviewed (at least, the lack of reaction leads me to believe that no one is interested in it),
- No one other than the author has dared to give even a partial presentation showing that they have understood it,
- This is not a single new concept (like the “Quésako Cycle”), but rather several different and new concepts that enable understanding and forecasting (contexts, modeling, forecasting rules, etc.). It’s too many things at once.
- No further research has officially been initiated on the subject, or if it has begun, the author has not been informed—as if the original work were to be ignored.
No known scientist officially endorses the reality of the “Quésako Cycle”
There are many reasons:
- It is not known whether a book summarizing the entire research project has been published in French,
- despite a translation into American English, no publisher has come forward for this version;
- as the author, I have not yet submitted an article on the subject, somewhat discouraged by the often negative responses I’ve received. While officially any article can be read and submitted to a peer-reviewed journal, experience shows that related information—such as the non-academic nature of the research—is enough to prevent the proposed work from even being read or submitted to a journal,
- and every scientific researcher is primarily concerned with their own research and activities. For these researchers, evaluating the unpublished work of others is a waste of time.
What can be done to raise awareness and gain recognition of the reality of the “Quésako Cycle” and the predictions that can be made about the risk of war?
- If readers would speak up and at least explain what did or did not convince them, we would have leads to follow up on;
- a lively debate would help move things forward, but there isn’t one;
- a publication in a specialized journal is necessary.
Can leaders and politicians help bring all of this to light?
The example of France is not encouraging. The letters sent to several French prime ministers clearly showed that they had been received, but those prime ministers merely forwarded them to their defense ministers, who did nothing with them. French lawmakers are too preoccupied with one political crisis after another to do anything about it.
Of course, they could all help, but that would require giving the matter some credibility, which is not the case.
Is it useful to continue making predictions about the risk of war that are then confirmed by actual wars?
Today, no one is making use of it, so it’s of no use. The question that openly arises is whether we should continue, without a budget and without recognition.
Furthermore, in a war like the one launched on October 7, 2023, by Hamas—and which continues in various forms—taking the reality of these forecasts and research into account could have changed things. Even though an Israeli-American woman said that I predicted what the Mossad was unable to predict, it is unlikely that the Israelis will ever be aware of the connection between their war and the “Quésako Cycle.”
It is not the validity of this research that is in question, but the near impossibility of bringing it to the attention of those who might be directly interested. There is too great gap between what can be predicted and what contemporary culture is willing to accept as true. In other words, no one believes in it enough to officially support it or even have it evaluated.

Letter received from the office of the French Prime Minister:
- Letter dated March 23, 2023 – File theoretically forwarded to Sébastien Lecornu
- Letter December 2025 – Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu
These letters merely state that the French authorities have been informed.
Update as of June 20, 2026
The dossier submitted in early 2023 contained a war forecast for the Arab-Israeli conflict. To my knowledge, it was not acted upon.
A letter sent in December 2025 to the Minister of the Armed Forces proposed launching an objective assessment. A response was received, but nothing concrete came of it. It was likely not evaluated at all, or only in a caricatured and superficial manner, as is often the case. Although the Ministry of the Armed Forces directly or indirectly funds most studies on warfare, it is a closed circle that appears incapable of evaluating original work or even providing recognized added value at the international level. An organization like IRSEM has a scope that could encompass this research. Presumably, none of the researchers at IRSEM are aware of this, and the same could be said of some university laboratories. Are they right to bury their heads in the sand regarding the “Cycle Quésako”? The question doesn’t even arise, since the subject has been consigned to the dustbin of history, without anyone in these French circles having understood what it was all about. It is very difficult for an independent researcher outside of an institutional framework to communicate or have original work with recognized results evaluated. The culture of French elitism tends to ignore anything that does not come from recognized elites. These are the very same people who will be outraged if foreign researchers were to take up or build upon this work, should that ever happen.
