How about that? very well respected English health and other expert corporation or institute. Yeah. Yeah. 186,000 Palestinians are expected to die from the Gaza war. Hmm.

186,000. Wow. 186,000 and then not reported in any of the American media is the that the Israelis when Hamas attacked

killed almost half of those 112 Israelis friendly fire friendly fire yeah Almost half of those 112 Israelis. Yeah. Israelis. Friendly fire. Friendly fire, yeah.

What they call it, operation, what, Hannibal? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. They've seen the elephant. Yeah, and Hannibal directive. This is from the cradle. And by the way, this is, they say, a search of reports on the Israeli investigation

in outlets like CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, Reuters, AP, the Wall Street Journal, NBC News, and others yielded no results. This was reported by Ha Ha Tets, the Israeli newspaper, by the way, which we subscribe to. Because not only that,

we want to know what's going on all over the world. We don't want to hear one side. So we go to Haaretz, Times of Israel, Jerusalem Post, oh, ISNA, IRNA, Tehran Times. Oh yeah, we want to hear what the Iranians are saying.

Oh, we want to go to Al-Jaze yeah. We want to hear what the Iranians are saying. Oh, we want to go to Al Jazeera. We want to hear what the Arabs are saying. So Persians, the Arabs, we want to hear what everybody's saying. Not in America. You only,

you are only allowed to listen to the crap that I've shoved down your throat. I'm your leader. We are in charge of this whole country. Anything that you don't believe that we shove down your throat is misinformation. That's right. That's what's going on.

So we're giving the people everything that we can. Everything. What we're putting out there, nobody in the world is coming close to. And if they could find something better, let me know. Oh, by the way, $2.50 a week. And if you don't like it, you get 30 day money back guarantee, losing nothing. So the more subscribers we have, the more we can do.

Not in the sense that we're going to give more magazines over 200 pages, no ads to read what you want, but, And it's in different languages. But the more subscribers we have, the more truth gets out there. And the better the opportunity to change the course of demise that we the people and the world are going, sinking into. You mentioned,

before we went on there, about gold prices. What was one of our top trends for 2024? Yeah. Golden year for gold. Yeah. Right there. January 2nd, top trends 2024.

Golden year for gold. Oh, another one of our top trends? How about EVs go FU? You said sales are going to go way down. This thing isn't working. Here's why we've been saying this only since 2017 that this is not a this is not a replacement for fossil fuel vehicles this is a lot of bs yeah anyway the sales are going down so going back to gold gold we said this how many thousand times gold prices are going to go up as interest

rates go down the only reason the dollar is strong is because interest rates are so high we have a 35 trillion dollar debt level and getting worse every day every hundred days it only goes up by a trillion dollars yeah every hundred days it goes up by a trillion dollars. That would dent. So the deeper the dollar falls, the higher gold prices go. Now... And let me just interject here. I was just saying that in the new streamlined platform from the Republicans, they don't even talk about the deficit. They don't even talk about any of that, trying to get that under control.

So what do you think is going to happen, regardless of which one of these guys gets back? We know what both of them have blown up the budget, and they don't even want to talk about it. It's not even on their platform. It's a crime syndicate. Yeah, that's right. They don't even pretend to care. Look at the money that Trump pumped in when he called. And you said

it, every time we talk, we talk about this. Was it March 13th, Black Friday, 2020? He called a state of emergency to fight the COVID war. And I'm saying COVID war

because that's the language. Again, we write about it in detail in the trends journal as it's happening. They all said we were fighting a war. All of them. That's right. They called it a war because the people march off to war like that. Just like they marched off what? 90% of the people swallowed the crap at a little nothing of a boy, Georgie Bush.

We're going to get that guy Osamaama bin Laden, dead or alive in Afghanistan. 90%. They called it a COVID war. Trump dumped in how many trillions of dollars to artificially boost the economy? How he pushed the pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates to zero. Oh, you wonder why you got inflation?

Oh, and theniden kept it going with lower interest rates and pumping more trillions into the economy inflation's not going away you you you read the data like they say about you know the inflation numbers going down and and and they say for example uh food prices only went up one percent since 2023 yeah i saw that headline they go up to 2023 they didn't go way down it's still way up there oh but they only went up one percent from that do you know that you know the price of a house the median price of a house in the united states since the covid war has gone up 47 percent yeah another metric that i saw was in california and the large cities is typically the cost of

housing is about 10 times the annual income which means that you can't qualify for anything uh you know that's way beyond uh what anybody can get a loan for uh so that is uh is that but when i saw that line that said oh well we got really good inflation numbers here uh i knew it was going to be off to the races for gold because everybody knows well therefore they're putting this narrative out there they haven't done anything therefore, they're putting this narrative out there. They haven't done anything with inflation. They're putting this narrative out there to give themselves political cover to cut interest rates, which you've always talked about. Everybody knew they were going to cut interest rates in an election year.

The strange thing about this year is just how it's unfolded. I mean, this election, we haven't had debates. We haven't really had any primaries. We've got the very first debate which was in uh at the end of june i think and and usually they don't have debates until after the conventions but they move the conventions even later this time and uh you know so usually the first convention is you know and at the end of september but um you know they're going to have the last of only two debates instead of three debates you're gonna have the last of only two debates instead of three

debates. They're going to have the last one of those beginning of September. So the timing of everything has all been moved around. And so the timing of how they're going to try to manipulate the election with these interest rate cuts has also been moved around, hasn't it? Yeah. It's very important, by the way, with the debate. Debate.

Dumb bait. Dumb bait, yeah. It's very important, by the way, with the debate. Debate. Dumb bait. Dumb bait, yeah. It's dumb bait. Covered ballot of the Trends Journal magazine that went out two days before the debate. Presidential reality, Sean. The great debate. Daffy Duck versus Goofy. Yeah. And the illustrator made Trump look like Daffy Duck and Biden look like Goofy.

Yeah, that's right. Go back to the Trends Journal several weeks before America falling. And we had all these pictures of Biden falling everywhere. Yeah. And this is the headline story yesterday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on CNN. Big, big article. Powerful Democrats furious. Biden's decline was hidden. Powerful Democrats?

How about moronic pieces of lying crap? His decline was hidden? In front of everybody for all to see. The guy's been out of his mind. It's all day after day after day after day. Oh, is Vice President Trump? Oh, Putin, Zelensky was what? What did he call Zelensky?

The president of Russia or something? Yeah, he called him Putin, yeah. Yesterday he called Zelensky Putin, and he referred to Trump as his vice president. But I got to say, you know, I tuned in on that to catch the beginning of it. Here he goes. And so I left it on. This is going to be good.

They must have given him the right drugs or something yesterday because he was the most coherent in spite of the very beginning. We said in my vice president, Trump, instead, other than that, what I heard of him, and I probably listened for about 20 minutes before I turned it off, he was the most coherent I've seen him in years. So they must have really shot him up with some stuff. Oh, yeah, the guy's jogged down, man. Yeah. No, again, powerful Democrats. Powerful Democrats?

Who are the powerful Democrats? Little Chuckie Schumer. Yeah, look. I'll tell you what to do. powerful democrats who are the powerful democrats little chucky schumer yeah look i'll tell you what to do oh powerful democrats at nancy pelosi now there's a power democrat how about adam ship one little clown powerful democrats powerful these are the freaks running our lives yeah how about powerful Republicans? Out of his mind, Mitch McConnell. It's frozen as well, yeah.

It is kind of interesting. We talked about this, and it's now come out. And I said it yesterday, and then I saw that Politico and Morning Joe were saying, this is coming from Obama because, you know, Clooney that just held the thing for him about three weeks ago raised $30 million. Then when you see Obama guiding him off the stage, oh, there was nothing at all about that. And then he comes out and he tells everybody the truth, right?

Like he didn't know. But he also told Obama and at the same time, you had Jon Favreau, who was part of the inner circle of Obama and everything. So I said yesterday, I said, this is coming from Obama. And at the same time, you had Jon Favreau, who was part of the inner circle of Obama and everything. So I said yesterday, I said, this is coming from Obama. The question is, let me tell you what I think it is and see what you say. I'm looking at this and I'm thinking what they're concerned about is not necessarily right now. I mean, there's a civil war, but it's going to be very difficult for them to get something done, even in the amount of time time they got even though they move the debate up quite a bit for a setup like that they're still going to be it's going to be difficult for them to do anything with it because of the power of the presidency because he doesn't want to leave or because his wife doesn't want him to leave

they're going to do everything they can we've already seen elements of that with abc and the fact that they threatened george stephanopoulos for an off-the-cuff remark that he's made when somebody asked him on the street he said no he can't do another four years and I think that's a key thing I think the fact that he everybody knows that he's not going to finish out this term even if he were to get elected I think that's what's really behind the move by the Obama people they don't want to see Lala Harris inherit a Biden presidency. They would much rather see Trump in that position so that Michelle Obama could challenge in the future. And I think that they would like to see Trump sitting in the seat when all this stuff blows

up, because then they can blame it on him. They can blame it on conservatives like they did January the 6th and all the rest of this stuff. So I think they would like to see this blow up under Trump. I think they don't want to see Lala Harris inherit this. And so I think that's what's really going on. I think there's a lot of chaos and division. I think they are really kind of setting up,

not so much to replace Biden, but to have him lose. What do you think? No, I don't see it like that. I was asked to do an article by Sputnik News before the debate. And I said, never before in American history have they done a debate this early. It's usually after the second week of September. That's when they begin.

You know, I began my career working on political campaigns in Westchester County. For Mayor Yonkers. This guy became the longest running mayor. It's a big city. It's like a couple of 200,000 people. Worked on a district attorney, state senator. They sent me up to Albany. I was the assistant to the secretary

of the New York State Senate. Worked on campaigns and designed and instructed a course called American Politics and Campaign Technology. And I taught it at St. John's University. So I've been at this field. I know the game. By the way, the reason I hit the top so fast is because the people in the campaign business are about the dumbest, arrogant pieces of jerk war warrants you could find anywhere. The only reason I got involved in it is my mother passed away and i moved out of new york city to help raise my two younger sisters and i said what

am i going to do i didn't want to do it and i got i suddenly see what this campaign stuff is about anyway the election doesn't begin until after labor. I said they never did a debate this early. They're doing this to see whether or not Biden can make it through. And they probably know he can't and they want to prove it because they're going to replace him with somebody else. And here's my bet. They're not going to let, they don't want Trump to win because once you lose it, you lose it. And you don't know who's going to win again after another four years. I believe if they keep Biden in, World War III will become official. As I say, when all else fails, they take you to war.

Again, 90% of the people swallow the crap out of that moron little mouth of George W. Bush. If they push Biden out, my bet, as with a lot of other people, by the way, is that arrogant Gavin Newsom will be the choice. And if he is, he will win. And the reason he will win is because if Biden runs against Trump, a lot of people aren't going to go out and vote. Again, the numbers came out

yesterday from the Pew Research show that 63% of Americans show both Biden and Trump, quote, embarrassing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So if Biden runs against Trump, a lot of people aren't going to go out to vote for Biden. And that's why Biden won the last time, because people hated Trump. It wasn't that they loved Biden. And by the way, I also believe the election was rigged, because I did the overnight election as it

was going on on USA Watchdog. And all of a sudden, you know, it's Trump like this and Biden under it. And all of a sudden, it shifts, it's Trump like this and Biden under it. And all of a sudden it shifts when, what, 112,000 mail-in ballots were counted in Wisconsin, Michigan, and not one for Trump. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, we knew that they were going to do that with the mail-in election.

And, you know, that's and it was Trump who was pushing the mail-in election with his pandemic stuff. Yeah, that's right. So anyway, going back, I believe, so the people will go out and vote for Gavin Newsom because they hate Trump. And just a little background about arrogant, arrogant Gavin Newsom. Again, all things are connected in trend forecasting. We were talking before about the banks going bust. Your office vacancy rate, meaning nobody there, in San Francisco, 34.5%. Before COVID, 5% vacant. Wow.

Brought to you by Gavin Newsom. My daddy was a lawyer for the Getty gang. Yeah. Oh, look up Wikipedia. Put in that arrogant boy's name. You know, he got all his money to start his businesses from the Gettys. Oh, and through marriage and this and that, he's related to Pelosi.

And you look at what he's doing. It's not just commercial real estate, but it's restaurants with a increase in the minimum wage. He's putting these people out of business left and right. Yep. Yeah. But he'll win he'll win because the people hate trump so much and because there's not enough time if they do put somebody in there's not enough time to uh really have them vetted you know here's this fresh face we don't know who this guy is but yeah you know this is uh hit it at the last minute have a warp speed uh they're even talking about having um a uh a blitz primary a quick primary something like that because there won't be any opportunity for anybody to vet anybody that's right yeah so i

believe that's what that's those are my guesses and i i i there's no way. Again, if Biden runs, we go to war. Look what happened again. As I keep saying, when all else fails, they take you to war. We talk about the Israel genocide war. People forget that when Netanyahu came in, not my language, the mainstream media with his extreme right wing government government in december of 2022 and when does hamas attack in october 2023 from the time biden gets in to then there were 39 weeks of protests because of his judicial reform act that basically said he can't be brought up on the charges that he's being brought up on. 39 weeks of major protests, not my language.

The president of Israel, Isaac Herzog, said, quote, there's a civil war going on. There was a civil war going on in Israel before Hamas attacked. And again, from Haaretz, they knew it was going to happen. The information was given to them that the attack was going to happen, and they let it happen. Just like they say the same thing about Pearl Harbor. They knew it was going to happen. It was no secret that these ships were all coming over. The whole thing was happening.

They want you to go to war. When all else failed, again, the Great Depression was going on. All forgotten. We're at war. 80% of the people were against the United States getting involved in World War II as it was going on in Europe before Pearl Harbor. Let me ask you, regardless of who wins do you think um that we'll have war even if it's trump i know trump is saying trump is saying uh he's gonna

it's gonna have peace on day one now he's saying even before he takes office he's gonna he's gonna solve all the issues and everything there'll be peace even before he takes office. But, you know, that's the campaign stuff. Do you think that he will keep on this war trajectory as well? I, I, I believe again, I can't stand Trump. I can't stand Biden. I hate I cannot stand these arrogant people. We only call it like it is. Sure. arrogant people we only call it like it is sure we said if Trump was president

the Ukraine war would not escalated to the level it is and it may not have even happened mm-hmm that's on the Ukraine side on the Israel side totally different story mm-hmm totally different What, he got $100 million from Sheldon Adelson? Yeah, his wife. And what did he do? Move the United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem? Hey, Israel, you know that land you stole from Syria? It's yours.

I just got $100 million. Oh, his son-in-law, Gary Kushner? You know, we talked about it a hundred times. Yeah. That's valuable waterfront property. And there's Kushner's words. The Palestinians should be moved to the Negev Desert and it should be developed. That's the Trump.

Trump is saying even more to slaughter more Palestinians. So on that side, he's totally, totally, totally, totally. Oh, he came out with what? That anybody that's an anti-Semite should be assassinated or killed? He came out a couple of weeks, at the end of June? Yeah. I agree with you about that, about Israel, about Russia. I said in 2020, I said if Trump wins, we'll have war with China. If Biden wins, we'll have

war with Russia. So do you think that rather than, you know, he might ease things up in Russia, but would it exacerbate things in China in a second? Yeah. Again, they're out of their minds. Daffy Duck

versus Goofy. Again, the American people know it it everybody was disgusted with that who has a better golf score right i know i know that's one thing you didn't anticipate who could have anticipated you should have put golf clubs in the hands of goofy and uh donald duck you know because who would have thought that they would fall to that level? And then, of course, even, you know, the Babylon Bee said, well, there's going to be, you know, the next time they meet, it's going to be a golf tournament.

And Trump actually tried to push that. Let's meet on the golf course, and I'll play you a round of golf. I mean, it's ridiculous. It's actually childish. One of my buddies used to be my Okekwondo, Okinawan Tay. And I was taking that. He was my teacher. He was a great golf player.

And he was playing one time. And Trump was on the others. He saw Trump cheat at golf. He always tells the story. The thing, you know. Yeah. I mean, guys, he's an arrogant little nobody. He's a daddy's boy, another daddy's boy.

I've seen him beat his president, which is even worse. I had lunch with his brother, Robert Trump, back in 2017. And Robert Trump told him. He said that, you know, the father left him almost, what, almost a half a billion dollars to the family. Yeah. Trump didn't make it on his own. He lost a lot of dough too.

I mean, what a great job he did over there in Atlantic City. You know, that, that place that went right. Yeah. I mean, one after and all the, all the, all the, the money he screwed out of the contractors when they got their last payments coming up. A genius businessman who goes bankrupt with six, six casinos or whatever it says who else could do that well you know we look at this I'm looking at these silly headlines about inflation inflation Falls 0.1 percent oh well now we can lower interest rates I mean they can't even rig the books enough to make it look like a real decrease. That's the thing I think is funny. But they are going to use that as a case to lower interest rates.

It's going to be bullish for gold. And, of course, it's going to get much worse after the election, I think, right? Don't you think? Yeah. Again, we're the only ones talking about banks going bust. Yes. No one else is. Again, I just mentioned to you the vacancy rate in San Francisco

at 34.5%. Now, let's say you own the office building. You lost your tenants. You got nobody there. How are you going to pay your loan? Tell me, how are you going to pay it? That's right. You can't.

Yes. There's going to to be go back a little over a year ago last march when the silicon conman valley bank went bust look what happened to gold prices in the markets that was then you had signature and first republic markets tank gold prices spike three banks three banks now according to the even the feds they're saying 22 banks and other data is showing almost 300 banks now your average in the United States is 20%. New York City, 23%. Vacant. Now, again, the banks got a lot of money when Trump and Biden dumped all that cheap money into the system,

and people put money in their bank account. So what did the banks do with that money? They bought U.S. treasuries. Oh, they bought U.S. treasuries. Oh, they bought U.S. Treasuries when interest rates were at zero? So the Treasuries they got are worthless.

They don't have the money to cover the losses on these loans. No one is talking about this. Because when these banks go bust, it's going to crash the global economy and the equity markets. And on the equity market front,

the S&P 500 keeps hitting new highs, right? Three companies own 88% of the S&P 500. BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street. Three companies. You're telling me this is an equity market? That's right. Yeah.

Oh, and those three companies own 40% of all the major corporations in America and sit on 40% of all the board of directors it's a crime syndicate yeah yeah once upon a time there was a guy you know i'm not too fond of as being an italian mussolini he called fascism the merger of state and corporate powers that's what we got yeah yeah i was just reading uh earlier today an op-ed piece from jeffrey tucker brownstone institute and he said you know what we saw with 2020 it's really a corporatist coup fascist coup really and he came across one of the reasons he said it he came across a document back in 2007 and of course you know we look at uh george w bush uh they've got the first one of these germ games two months before 9-11 then 9-11 then the patriot act and

the model legislation and they practice this thing for 20 years in 2005 they put out uh immunity for the vaccine companies for you know when they put out the emergency vaccines that they just did. And then in 2007, they had a document that went through all of it, calling businesses non-essential if they weren't connected, the, you know, the masks, the distancing, everything was laid out in 2007. And then a long list of companies and institutions. And he said, look at that. You know, it's the big guys shutting down everybody else.

He said it was really a corporatist coup i absolutely agree with that yeah again look what they did you know again that's him this by the way this is a t-shirt i just came across it that i had made up in 1992 when the election was going on did you see it yeah we were slick well it willie yeah what is he throwing up there with his hand what is he throwing up with his hand uh something that's a coin flipping a coin okay all right yeah all right this is the little slime ball that gave us nafta to move the jobs to mexico to get cheap labor we're trying to enter the world trade organization slaughtered people in iraq yugoslavia started the yugoslav war this is the guy who's un ambassador madeline not all that bright on 60 minutes with Leslie Stahl. And Leslie Stahl asks,

there's the price of 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of five. They're dead because of what Bill Clinton did with the sanctions and the bombings worth the price. And Madeline Albright says, yes, it is. Yeah. Google it up and you can see it.

Oh, yeah. This is the same slime ball going back to the banking system and the crash in 2007. And again, I took out the domain name, The Panic of 08 in November of 2007. And he was the guy that did away with the glass Stigal act that allowed the banksters to become bigger bandits. And they're the ones that caused the panic of Oh eight.

Hey, you don't have a job. You're deep in debt. Don't worry about it. Sign over here. It's called a subprime mortgage. Yeah. $29 trillion

dumped into the banksters by the Federal Reserve from 2007 to 2010. That's according to the Levy Institute at Bard College. So going back to what you're talking about, the banks.

It's a crime syndicate. The value of the dollar has decreased 97% since 1913 when the Federal Reserve was created. Going back to inflation, very important. Because again, all things are connected. Dwight D. Eisenhower, he said, oh, you like Dwight, he did terrible things. I know he did terrible things. I've done my crap too. Everybody has. Oh, you were perfect, right? No. Anyway, after, when he became president, you know, the speech.

He warns the American people that the military industrial complex is robbing the nation. The genius scientists sweat the labors in the future of the children. He becomes president. I'm going back to inflation. He cuts the defense budget. When I was a kid. And this was for years, a slice of pizza and a soda used to cost us 25 cents. From 1954, when he became president, to 1962, inflation rates rose about 1% a year.

That was it. Now what happens? Again, all things are connected. I recommend that everybody that cares about anything listen to John F. Kennedy's speech at American University

in June of 1963. It's all about peace. in June of 1963. It's all about peace. All about peace saying that we could only have a civilized society with peace. On and on and on. He also goes on to say that no one suffered more during World War II than the people in the soviet union

his words over 20 million were killed the number is now about 25 million and they lost their farms their factories their homes their land the equivalent of chicago east he said if we go to war against the soviet union this is 1963, an atomic war, life on Earth will be destroyed in 24 hours. And it will destroy it for generations.

He ends the speech by saying America will never go to war again. June. July, August, September, October, November. Jack, you're dead. Yeah. Going back to inflation.

Eight months later, LBJ takes us to, after they assassinated Kennedy, took us to the Vietnam War. That was the beginning of the inflation spike. Inflation skyrocketed. I remember in the 70s, when I worked for a corporation, one year I got to raise everybody, the top people, got a 10% increase because of inflation.

That was the beginning. The wars have caused inflation. The military-industrial complex has caused inflation. Again, the COVID war, inflation, pumping in all this fake money, backed by nothing, and printed on nothing. That's right. Yeah.

Yeah, I interviewed David Stockman just before his book came out. Oh, he's great. Yeah, his book was Trump's War on Capitalism. And that's what he talked about. He said, look at the deficit spending there. And look at that. But even before COVID, he said it was already a war on capitalism. The kind of tax cuts that you and I talked about way before that.

I'd have you on and you'd talk about how, look, it's only cutting the taxes of the people at the very, very top. And the corporations are going to just use it to buy their stocks, which is exactly what they did, exactly what you said. And so he said, yeah, it was not that everything was great and then COVID just suddenly happened. And, of course, it's his response to what was happening out there. And nothing really was happening, but it was a response that was the issue. But he said it was already a mess, and it was. That's right. Yeah.

Again, people forgot about the repo market. Yeah, that's right. That's right. I remember we talked about that so much in the fall of 2019, you know, how they were dumping money. I'd never heard of the repo market. It's like, what's going on with this stuff?

You know, it's like myocarditis, you know, I'd never heard of myocarditis. Now, you know all about it, unfortunately. And again,

you go back to 2019, Germany was like this far away from a recession at the end of the year. One of our top, you know, we do the trends, you know, the beginning of the year year one of our top you know we do the trends you know the beginning of the year and one of our top trends for 2020 2020 was new world disorder there were protests going on all over the world india uh um south africa algeria chile per, Bolivia, all over the world. France, the yellow vests.

People are taking to the streets a lack of basic living standards, crime, violence, and government corruption. This is before COVID. Then what they did when COVID happened, they locked down everything. You're not allowed to go protest anymore. People forget this stuff. Oh, yeah. Now, now COVID made a very bad situation much worse. You think you have a migrant crisis now?

Yeah. The crisis that this thing caused around the world. Again, we haven't just seen the beginning of this you know we're having a rally in um uh peace rally september 28th if everybody goes to occupy peace uh occupy peace.com and so far we have uh judge napolitano scott ritter who i'm going to have lunch with today. And Max Blumenthal. And Anya Parampil are going to be some of the

speakers. We're going to have music. And the company that we hire to put the tents up, they went out of business. My assistant just told me today. And you know, they have a sign on the door.

Because of the COVID, our business never recovered. Yes, yes. And we've gone out of... These were such nice people. I know. They could not have been kinder and nicer. They've been in business for decades. And then let's go back to the

empty vacant office buildings. Oh, your office occupancy rate? Again, castle systems with a K. So you know I'm not making these numbers up. Your office occupancy rate is about 50% nationwide. So commuter traffic is way down. Oh, you see all the bus lines going

bust by the way? Going out of business? Yeah. Now, how about all the other businesses that depend on commuters? They're going out of business. Most are small businesses. I was down in the city about a month ago, and I spent the weekend down there

in the West Village. I'm a city guy. I know the West Village, man. Now, it's a hot spot. weekend down there in the west village and you know i'm a city guy i know the west village man and now it's like you know it's a hot spot you know the richest of the rich watching a guy shoot up right in front of him seeing another person sitting on a stoop like this wow filth everywhere Everywhere. Yeah. Garbage everywhere. Walk from. We go over to broom street right across. Homeless under the scaffolding everywhere. People shooting up drugged out.

Ain't the city. I remember. And again, I remember the city was pretty wild when the whole thing began, but it wasn't like this. It was heartbreaking. Heartbreaking. The damage that this COVID war has done, and by the way,

you go back and you read when they tell you about, you know, the office buildings going bust and the vacancy rates and they say pre-pandemic no no not pre-pandemic pre-political lockdowns yes blaming it on the pandemic and not the politicians that's how they rewrite history that That's right. Yeah. Yeah, and it's how, you know, as I was talking about this in this 2007 document, and my comments, just like his comments, were, look it, nothing has been done about any of this stuff.

They've kept this there. There's not even any discussion about trying to change things. Instead, they're doubling down. You know, they're having conferences about how they're going to do the same thing except even more centrally controlled and how they're going to do more to control people at the local level because that was a bit of a difference when all this stuff happened, depending on how the people were in your local jurisdiction. So they've got to put the centralized control there, tighten the screws down a little bit more so they can control information control people from a centralized location but they're

going to do everything that they've always done and do it more and do it faster they said we got to get the vaccines out even faster and we got to give them to the kids at the same time we give them to the adults all of this stuff uh they just uh they've left it in place and they're going to double down on it i agree with you 100 you know there's an article that came out this is the financial times jobs axed and i tell you cnn as chief mergers newsrooms right and in a memorandum to the staff yesterday, you ready? Chief executive, sir, SIR, sir, Mark Thompson said that CNN, and he goes on, sir, Mark Thompson, sir. Oh, why he's British. They got a British guy running CNN. Oh, you got a British guy running CNN? You got a British woman running Wall Street Journal?

You got a British person running Bloomberg? You got a British person running Washington Post? You got a British person running Daily Call? If this is the country that we fought against, you're talking about losing our freedom sir screw you

what's this sir crap who the hell you're talking to why the king anointed me a sir the murderous king where the sun never sets on the British Empire and we slaughtered people all over the world

to steal everything we could get. His Majesty. Could you imagine adults calling these little slime balls His Majesty and Sir? In your next magazine, you need to have Paul Revere there. He'd say, the liars are coming. The liars are coming. All the British that are running all of the media stuff.

Yeah, good one. I'm not making this up. Oh, I know. All of a sudden, all the organizations, they got somebody who's British. Because, you know, if somebody's going to lie to you, it's great if they've got a British accent. Because automatically that adds, in the American mind, it adds several IQ points whether or not they're really there. Exactly. Why we slaughter people everywhere. Look at the little clown they just elected over there.

Oh, yeah. A little boy of nothing. Oh, and his wife, they're so pro-Israeli slaughter. She's Jewish. Oh, by the way, Max Blumenthal, one of our speakers, he's Jewish. Yeah. Totally opposed to this. Can't call him an anti-Semite.

Hey, while we're talking about elections, you know, of course, it was a slam dunk for the for the Labour Party because the conservatives have been such cons and and useless. But in France, I thought it was really interesting the way the media reported or slanted and put a false slant on the French elections because the results and most people don't really understand what happened there, but I wanted to get your comments on that. Even though the Macron, not Macron, Le Pen's party was winning in the European Parliament elections in the first round, and their vote totals

went up, and they were the only party whose vote totals went up. Instead, they fell to third place because they were cherry-picking these different jurisdictions and macron and all of the they put together a coalition of communists and socialists and greens and everything on the left and then that coalition uh was working with macron to cherry pick stuff to make sure that they would win the seat so what we got reported here was a percentage of seats that were allocated,

not really what was going on, not the true story about what the popular vote was. I thought that was very interesting, the way that was spun, to say, well, everybody rejected the conservative, they call them far right or whatever, but the Nationalist Party that was there. I thought that was interesting,

the way that was put out. What's your take on what's going on in France? It's everywhere. It's a crime syndicate. exactly. Yeah. Everything's rigged. Yeah.

That's right. I mean, I talked about JFK though. You know, you forgot about that guy, mayor daily in Chicago. Yeah. How they rigged the election and he won Illinois.

And that's how he won. Yeah. That's right. Again. Oh, you forgot about the hanging chads. Remember that one with the, with bush uh uh who's that little jerk um we ran against uh in 2000 algor algor yeah algor algor igor yeah yeah you know i think it's you you take the G and put an H in there.

You know, again. Hanging chads. Yeah, yeah. It's a crime syndicate. The elections are rigged. And now more in these mail in ballot crap. And now they keep doing it more and more. Going back to what's happening with uh

finances and the dollar i thought it was interesting now the saudis have denied this but bloomberg reported that um when they you know biden and his administration wanted to confiscate all the assets that they had frozen of russia and instead they they wound up doing virtually virtually none of that they went after uh interest and things like that but they they took a tiny fraction the u.s wanted to take it all and it was reported by bloomberg that the saudis had essentially uh blackmailed europe with all of the european bonds that they said they're going to dump them and reported that they had done the same thing to the u.s government uh under obama they say you blame us for 9-11 we're going to dump all of our bonds so it's kind of like the petrodollar has uh kind of become a weapon of

the saudis to be used against the u.s and the eu what do you think is going to happen with the dollar with a as a reserve currency and how is that going to impact us when that is eventually gone? We're talking about, you know, the sun never sets on the British Empire. What killed the pound? All their wars. So after World War I, that's when the pound went bust and the dollar went up. Same exact things happened to America. The business of America is not business, it's war.

Look at the size of the defense budgets remember what happened what was it before 9-11 what was how many trillions of dollars that they were looking for that they couldn't find that the pentagon spent i think it was six i had a very interesting conversation with somebody who was running a tourist shop in in texas when we were there. And there was nobody in the shop. It was off season. And Karen, my wife, was looking through the store and stuff. And I was standing there and she starts telling me about her life story. She's just bored to death. And she had worked in that office where they were auditing people. The office where the missile went in, or they say the plane, right? And she said, we were investigating this. And she said, I took early retirement because my husband had just retired.

But she said, we had all these people in the military and politicians who were taking, they gave them the opportunity to resign and get out so they didn't have a prosecution. But she said, it was amazing how much money was missing. And she never made the connection between 9-11 and the coincidence that it went right into her office. She never could make that connection. Isn't that amazing? Isn't that typical of the way Americans are? So where do you get your news?

Well, I listen to CNN. The Cartoon News Network. Yeah. So the wars have killed this country. I mean, truly, again, you talk to Stockman i mean stockman's brilliant yeah you know when it comes to this and he he knows the facts it wasn't inflation until the wars began and how much did it cost us to for the for the to kill a million people in iraq how many it costs us to kill all those people in af? How many it costs to kill all those people in Afghanistan?

What, three, five million dollars? Trillion, excuse me. A million, trillions, trillions. And so that's what's bringing the dollar down. Look at the debt level. It's never going to be paid off. The dollar's going to die when interest rates go down. And again, you're talking about Trump.

What is him and his son-in-law doing a deal in Saudi Arabia, right? Oh, yeah. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They got a couple of deals. I think they got one going on in UAE as well.

But yeah, big deal going on in Saudi Arabia. Trump towers right there in Saudi Arabia. Well, we're almost out of time. Before we go again, I just want to tell everybody, Trends Journal, excellent publications we were talking about before. Again, you can find it at TrendsJournal.com. out of time before we go again i just want to tell everybody uh trends journal excellent publications we're talking about before again you can find trendsjournal.com you can see the breadth of what is covered but it is a wonderful format the way it is set up as well and you can save 10 off of a subscription with the code night uh yeah it's um it truly is amazing and you know when you

talk about the war and what weapons it's going to be fought with even right now because of what is happening in ukraine uh that new york times article that was out a lot of people reported i i covered it uh the fact that they it is drawing us in to uh whether or not they it goes nuclear or not it is drawing us into a ton automated killer robots ai you know targeting people and making the kill decisions and that's that's the way it's going to go i mean it's a proving ground for that kind of nightmare scenario it truly is frightening even if it doesn't go to nuclear war that could be something that would be just about as devastating because once you give

them the kill decision and what's driving it in is they said well you know we're getting this jamming so if we can put ai on board these things they can pick the targets and go for them well thank you so much for joining us gerald slinty and again september 28th peace rally big peace rally show up and let people know that you care about peace thank you for doing that that, Gerald.
