bust and boom, that is, that is about to happen. Um, it is, he's got a building there that looks like a stick of dynamite, but it's a commercial office building is painted redness and the cylinder thing with a fuse at the top. And I saw that and then we had this week we had the lower floors of a downtown skyrise explode it was where a bank was and it just blew out uh and that was in youngstown ohio uh seven people injured two are missing in that. But, yeah, that's one way for commercial real estate to explode. It's going to collapse, not from a gas leak or something like that, but it's going to collapse and it's going to destroy a lot of lives, isn't it, Gerald?

No one's talking about this. Yeah. The media is dead, by the way. The Trends Journal, when you you subscribe overnight it costs you about two dollars and fifty cents a week this is the front page of the wall street journal you see this stupid little picture over here brain this is five five dollars a day wow brain teasers test best young spellers. Strike like a bee. Oren Lamb, 14, of Beacon of Benson, North Carolina, reacts to a question during competition in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Oxon Hill, Maryland, on Tuesday. Wow.

When the preliminary rounds began with 245 students why do i have to know this crap yeah i'm spending two dollars five dollars a day yeah i'm not getting any here that's the kind of stuff you typically would see on a local paper human interest story or something like that right and that's the top of the top of the fold there at the wall street journal uh nothing nothing at all that you really need not and not national news not financial news even stupid yeah because journalism is dead yeah Thanks to that little slime ball that every time he got caught with his pants down, Bill Clinton,

I didn't have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky. She only gave me, you know, watch up. Yeah. That guy bombs away over Baghdad, killed what Madeline,

not all that bright. Make she rot in hell. The former UN ambassador, when asked by Leslie Stahl are the 500 000 dead children because of what bill clinton's done to iraq worth the price and she said yes it is yeah that bill clinton who gave us the federal communications act in 1996 that let the bigs buy up everything six companies owned over 92 percent of all the American media. Journalism is dead.

Yeah. Dead. Gone. Finished. Again, we cover the world. Again, you see the magazine, all the information we put in there. That's right.

Today's Financial Times, not one trend worthy article not one i'm looking for data i need data i need data yeah so now let's go back to what they're reporting about a bunch of crap how about um the banks going bust? Not a word. Not a word. How about the damage that the COVID war caused when they locked down society, forced people to work at home, and now you have an office occupancy rate, according to Castle Systems with a k of about 50 percent because people after again i've mentioned this over and over after they were forced to work at home and they're saying themselves i'm getting up at five o'clock in the morning to commute an hour and a half each way what am i out of my mind

i'm not going to do this anymore now i'm the'm the guy that says 10 floors, let's say, in an office building. I got people sitting in cubicles. I don't see them anyway. Yeah, stay at home. I don't need you to be here. I don't need to roll the space. I can save myself a lot of money. Yeah, that's right.

Now, you're looking, again, the data. The geeks were the first ones to launch the covid war in the united states that guy dorsey that little freaky looking clown boy was going to go to to south africa in late february he canceled the trip told everybody to stay home and then one geek after another closed down san francisco oh yeah we had the Silicon Conman Valley bank bust last year. Yeah, that's San Francisco. Take a look at the facts. Before the COVID war,

your office vacancy rate in San Francisco was 3.5%. Vacant, 3.5%. You know what it is today? Almost 36% vacant. Wow. Wow. 12 times. Yeah.

Portland, Oregon. Portland, Oregon was a hotspot before Calvary. 29% vacant. New York City, 23% vacant. Okay. Oh, you like all that crime, huh? Hey, how about taking a subway in New York at night in Calcutta?

How many women did they punch in the face last night? How many people did they stab in the back? You know, anyway. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Now, let's say that I'm the guy, as I said, that has all these, I don't need all this space. Now I'm the owner of the building and now I'm losing tenants. How am I going to pay my loan? My loan that is interest rate based alone that my interest rates were half the price of what they were.

Now the loan is coming due some $4 trillion worth of commercial real estate loans coming due in the next two and a half years or the next two and a half years. Wow. My interest rates have gone up. These are interest rate loans. I got less tenants. I i'm gonna default on the loans on the bank holding the i'm like what am i gonna do well what am i gonna do i bought all

those treasuries when i got all that cheap money when people were putting in the bank when the when the government fought the covid war and i bought a load of treasuries when interest rates were at zero so that it worth nothing i don't have the dough to pay this let's go back a little over a year ago when you had three banks go bust silicon conman valley bank first republicans and uh what was the other one? Signature. Markets went down. Gold prices skyrocketed. That was three banks.

Now how about 300 banks? How about 30 banks? How about 50 banks? The numbers that I saw were almost 300 banks, by the way. Wow. Yeah. Wow. None of this is being reported. 100 times worse than what we saw last year. Wow. Yeah. Wow. None of this is being reported.

100 times worse than what we saw last year. Yep. Wow. None of this is being reported. We are the only magazine in the world doing this. No one. No one, no one, because here's the deal. They don't want you to know how bad things are.

The people feel it. The people feel it, but they don't realize how bad it is until the equity markets crash. Then that becomes the reality. The reality is already set in. You look at the numbers. By the way, in your trends journal this week, it came out Tuesday, our economic update.

The climate is right for a market correction. As the old adage goes, sell in May and go away. Yeah. You look at the stock market crashes. 1929, when did it crash? Oh, in late October. Yeah. The 1987 stock market crash, which I had forecast.

That's how I got my name. The Wall Street Journal covered it. when did it crash in october hey how about the uh panic of 08 the domain name i took out in 2007 november lehman brothers went bust in september of 2008 again we took out the domain name, Panic of 08 in November 2007. Yeah. Said it was going to crash. It did. Again, you got a correction coming. The market's way overvalued.

Way overvalued because you're looking at the data and it's week after week, from the luxury sector down to the junk food sector, sales are going down. And the fish rots from the head down. So if you see luxury sales going down, the people that were up in the upper middle class are going down. They're not buying.

So it goes back to the banking bust. Things are very bad. The people feel it, but it doesn't become a reality for the public until Wall Street crashes. Yeah. And the crash is coming soon soon you think it's going to happen before the election it will happen this october will it be next year sometime what do you think it's it's a guessing game you can't you can't it because they're they're what they're doing is they're they're the banks are saying that the loans that are coming up do oh you don't have to they're they're

stalling a lot of them and they're they're covering it up when the bank failures start happening that's going to be the reality and then again you know i i just did another interview and the guy you know called me. I predicted. I said, no, nobody predicts. You can't predict the future. There are too many wild cards. I'm a trend forecaster. Because the predictions, the war is going on in Ukraine and Israel.

They change everything. Israel is going to keep escalating this war. And if they go ramp it up against Iran, you're going to see oil prices go to above $130 a barrel. And that's going to crash the equity markets and the economy. Again, you don't have to believe me. Look at the facts. And just look at what is happening with Biden. You know, he's emptying out completely the uh northeastern part of the strategic petroleum reserve and doing that

between memorial day and fourth of july so he can get gas prices down again so that the consumers will feel something different than the reality different than the trend that has been put in there with all the sanctions and all of the shutdown of drilling and all the rest of the stuff. He is going to use this as a way to mask what his long-term policies have been and are. China's oil demand outlook darkens as OPEC prepares to meet. OPEC's meeting this weekend u.s gasoline consumption at the beginning of the summer time when people are traveling more is down consumption is down wow china is down

oil prices are down they're they're um they're down almost $10 a barrel just over the past several weeks. Brent crude. So it's showing you how bad things are. And the banking system, again, the people are feeling it. Again, you're seeing the numbers that are coming out. U.S. GDP growth was slower last quarter on soft consumer spending. You're no kidding. So you're seeing the numbers.

They're there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Peter Schiff was talking about gold over the last five years. He said it's gone up 89%. He said you compare that to the U.S. aggregate bond increase was 0.7%. And of course, this is, as many of them are saying, just the beginning, I think you said, you know, easily get up to the 2700 area. That's where a lot of banks are saying, you know, sometime in the next year year or so they think it'll get up to that level. But even Steve Forbes came out and said, are we lurching toward a gold standard? Talk a little bit about gold.

Again, it's one of our top trends for 2024. Right there for everybody to see. Gold prices are up over $300 an ounce since we made that forecast at the beginning of the year when we come out with our top trends. Actually, I could see gold hitting $3,000 an ounce. And the reason being, you have to put, again, the picture together. The presidential reality is shown. They're going to lower interest rates to keep the people in power in power. Again, our Fed head, a former Fed head, Janet Yellen is our treasury secretary,

which shows you who's running the country. They want to keep that in power. Now let's go around the world. The ECB is meeting next week. The European Central Bank is going to lower interest rates. That's our forecast. They're going to lower them, and other countries are lowering them too. Sweden.

They need to juice up the economy, and they can't do it with high interest rates. As their interest rates go down, their currency goes down because the U S dollar is strong. That means their inflation goes up. George Carlin was, was a great guy. May rest in peace. He used to say, it's one big club and you ain't in it.

United States is a member of the, of the bankster bandit club. They were all in this together. So the United States is under pressure to lower interest rates because they're going to say, listen, you guys got to lower it because we can't just lower hours and just stay up there. You're killing us. Yeah, we understand. We'll lower hours too. So they're all going to be lowering interest rates. You go back to the Great Depression.

Not the Great Depression. Yeah, the Great Depression not the great yeah the Great Depression when the markets crashed in 29 interest rates were high in the United States the pound was going down thanks to their wars and that's when the United States currency started taking over and the British talked the Americans into lowering interest rates because their pound was getting crushed they're going to do the same thing so the lower interest rates go the lower the dollar goes the deeper the dollar falls the higher gold prices rise and silver along the way as well. So we're very bullish on gold, silver, and Bitcoin. That's the way we see it happening.

And then, again, you have the wars going on. And I have to tell you, David, my greatest concern is World War III has already begun. Yeah. And they're going to kill us with nuclear annihilation yes i just saw and it was reported by rt had a russian minister was saying the west doesn't have a fear of nuclear war so maybe what we need to do is have a demonstration of it i mean we just keep getting closer and closer, don't we? Again, we got a report on this every week.

That little Katson Macron, the little boy with the fake hair and a little nothing of a clown. More weapons to Ukraine so they could fire deeper into Russia. Yeah, that's right.

United States, more weapons, more missiles to shoot deeper into Russia. Germany. Oh, Germany, you mean the Germans that killed over 25 million Russians in World War II? Oh, that wasn't a Holocaust. Nah. Operation Barbarossa?

Oh, those Germans? A high Hitler Germans? More weapons, more missiles to shoot deeper into Russia. They're going to keep escalating this war. We have maniacal, evil people, demonic

people running the country in a country near you. And they're stupid. They're evil, demonic people running the country in a country near you. And they're stupid. They're evil, demonic people. And they're stupid as well. When we look, and I've been talking about this this week, what's going on in Ukraine, we've got these $10 million M1 Abrams tanks that are there.

They're being taken out left and right. The crews are not surviving is what the Ukrainians are saying. They don't have any way that they can reasonably use them. They're being taken out left and right. The crews are not surviving is what the Ukrainians are saying. They don't have any way that they can reasonably use them. They said, you know, we're using them as mobile artillery because we don't have a way to use them in tank-to-tank warfare. We don't have the air cover that is necessary or the artillery cover that is necessary to use them that way. And so we're using them as mobile artillery but they're very vulnerable to these cheap drone attacks and then our own ammunition i mean they've got artillery shells that use gps to make them incredibly accurate but the russians have jammed this stuff so much that

they've got accuracy of less than 10 we're losing across the board. We've got these complex weapon systems, incredibly expensive and easily defeated with improvised means and new cheap technology. I see this across the board with all the stuff we're doing. We're not only are we provoking wars everywhere, but we don't even know how to build effective stuff anymore because the military industrial complex wants whatever is the most expensive whatever makes the most profits not what even effectively works but we're we're provoking war everywhere and we don't have a way to even back it up no you're 100 right yeah it's amazing again america hasn't won a war since world war ii yeah that's right you gotta how about those f-35s the joke what they are every every it's a it's a clown show in my book trend tracking the trends 2000 international bestseller i wrote about how clinton did away with him how he he um uh centralized the military industrial complex.

There used to be a load of different companies running one after another. There was a load of competition. Again, he got paid off to centralize everything. Like with the banks. That's why. Like with the banks. Everything gets centralized.

Yeah. Yep. A lot of centralization. They get paid off to do this. You know, morons and imbeciles call it campaign contributions. Yeah. Adults call it bribes and payoffs. That's right.

So, no, you're 100% correct. And there's no way, Russia, again, not my language, read John F. Kennedy's speech to graduating students at American University in June of 1963. It was all about peace. And he goes on to talk about the Soviet Union. He said, no country suffered more than they did during World war ii he said over 20 million were

killed their farms their factories their homes their land wiped out from the equivalent of chicago to the east coast he said these are very advanced cultural cultural people techno technologically advanced as well he said we should not go to war against them we should have peace with them because if we go to war against them life on earth will be destroyed in 24 hours yeah yeah that was 1963 yeah oh and then that was june right? July. Oh, and he ends it. And anybody could look it up. Could listen to it, read it. He ends his speech to the students by saying,

America will never go to war again. That was June. July, August, September, October, November. Yeah. Jack, you're dead, October, November. Yeah. Jack, you're dead. They killed him. Yeah. Eight months later, LB jerk took us to the Vietnam War.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're the ones who are running the country. That is the real government. And when you look at it, we look at it both with Biden and with Trump. It truly is amazing how he promoted these CIA assets. He's supposed to be against Bush, and yet he takes Bill Barr,

who was the guy that partnered with George H.W. Bush to rebuild the CIA after the church committee hearings, and then he made him his very young attorney general. Trump makes him his attorney general. Trump puts in Gina Haspel, who produced lies based on torture. He makes her the head of the CIA. On and on. You know, we see who is really running the government and the fact that he's just putting all of the usual suspects back in the place.

I mean, nothing at all about draining the swamp is the biggest delusion I've ever seen. These people think he's against it. That's amazing. What do you think of this guilty? That's going to keep everybody talking about Trump and not about any issues, isn't it? For the months and months. That's the whole purpose of it. You got it.

The reality TV show. And he's the perfect guy to bring in because they want a reality TV show to distract everybody from all the real issues that are there. Matter of fact, it was Trump that, again, we're political atheists. We call it the way it is. We took out the trademark presidential reality show back in 2016 when he ran. Yeah, that's right. It's a reality show. It is when he ran yeah that's right that's a reality show it is so here's trump trump tells donors he will crush pro-palestinian protests if re-elected if you get me re-elected we're going to set that movement back 25 to 30 years.

Oh, who was he speaking to wealthy Jewish donors? This is according to the Washington post. Yeah. Yeah. He got over $50 million. He had a record, you know, and that one event over $50 million.

I was talking about that yesterday, Gerald. And I said, you know, you look at the 2000 campaign and Al Gore had 70 million for the entire campaign. And he accused Bush W. of trying to buy the election because he had 100 million for the entire campaign. Here in one event with these wealthy donors, Jewish donors, talking about how he's going to support their war. He makes 50 in just one event.

Isn't that amazing? It's a measure of the corruption that we have in our government and i'm looking for the article here but i do remember the data anyway but if i can't find it um uh sheldon adelson's wife i don't have it here did she she a big part of that chunk that was there yeah she's donating she said she sheldon adelson had donated 90 million dollars to trump's campaign in 2020 90 million dollars this is sheldon adelson he's dead now this is the guy the casino magnet this this is the these are This is the guy, the casino magnet. This is the guy...

You said magnet. I thought it was maggot. I thought that was... Maggot, magnet, Greenberg, iceberg. What's the difference? This is the guy that he has a Israeli citizenship and American citizenship that had Trump move the israel you know that land you stole in 1967 from the gullen heights in syria it's yours

that's the trump yeah so was she is a part of this meeting where you got the 50 million dollars she was there no no that was just announced yesterday that she's getting that and um again the united states our our uh u.s made bombs destroying all these people in rafa and um the genocide in front of everybody's eyes for all to see and it's only going to continue to escalate you saw that little jerk that little clown of nothing what that ran for president nicky haley oh writing on them on the bomb quote finish them finish them uh she never these are mentally deranged people yeah oh yeah she never saw a war that she doesn't she's just like um uh lindsey graham or john mccain never saw a war that she didn't want to get involved in or war that she couldn't make a lot of money off of right by

promoting that but you know look at that peer thing i played a clip yesterday of um you know the the of the uh the fact that it collapsed and it's submerged and all the rest of the stuff. And there was a video that came out. And I think it was Arabs. I couldn't tell if it was Arabs or Israelis who were filming it and talking about it and laughing. Something about Americana or whatever. Because it is idiotic. It's idiotic the fact that they can't build a pier,

and it's idiotic that they even tried to build a pier instead of just telling the Israelis, let the trucks in to feed people, right? They didn't have the guts to say that, so they chased their tail with this $320 million thing, and it falls apart within a week. They don't deliver any supplies to anybody. It's just unbelievable failure, mismanagement.

Even if the policies were right, they can't get it right. Again, we wrote about it when they announced it, that what a failure it would be. Yeah, yeah. We wrote about it in detail. And again, even if they had it working, it would be hardly anything compared to letting trucks go through. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I talked about they had one veteran who was involved in logistics and everything was talking about what a Rube Goldberg plan that was.

I mean, they had to go to one other pier offload and fill trucks and then put them on a smaller boat and then go to that pier. And then they would go single file down this 1800 foot thing, you know? And it's like, what a stupid thing to do and how long it was going to take them to deliver anything. Even if it worked, even if they could have pulled it off,

it would have been an effective instead. You know, all you do is you just drive, get them to open up and let people drive trucks in, but no, the purpose is to start people and, and our ineffective government is going to go along with all of that. Play along.

Yep. And not ineffective. They're a murderous crew of evil people. Yeah, yeah. You know, there was a report that just came out before it went on the air. I don't know how, it huthi's claim missile strike on u.s aircraft carrier did you see that oh i didn't see that i saw that they got the sixth one of these reaper drones they got a picture of it sitting on the sand and this one is pretty

much in perfect condition they'll be able to pull in you look at these guys that are standing on top of they're not going to be the ones who are going to reverse engineer it but they can pull in, you look at these guys that are standing on top of it, they're not going to be the ones who are going to reverse engineer it, but they can pull in Russians or Chinese or whoever, Iranians, they can reverse engineer this thing. I didn't see it, they actually were able to pull off a strike. They've gotten down six of these Reaper things and they're $30 million a piece.

They probably shot them down with something incredibly cheap too. Yep. And talking about incredibly cheap, you remember what again this is out of the news too go let's go back to when israel assassinated a couple of top generals and dozens of people in the consulate in Damascus, Syria. Iran responded by missile strikes and drone strikes into Israel. The American media and the Israeli media downplayed it like it was a failure. It wasn't a failure.

And you listen to Scott Ritter, Colonel Douglas McGregor, people that know the facts about this. Iran targeted, didn't target any heavy areas. They hit a couple of military zones and first they sent in loaded drones, like you said, cheap drones, and then a couple of missiles.

According to the Times of Israel, Jewish newspaper, it cost Israel $1.3 billion to knock out those missiles coming in. Because what they did is they sent in a load of cheap drones first so they shoot those things down and then they set the missiles in wow wow it is going to cost it cost iran 10 of that to send what they sent in oh wow yeah they just um i don't know if you've seen the video footage of it i don't have it in my deck here but um the chinese are doing this robot dog that was developed by boston um what was it the boston robotics company i forget the boston dynamics i think it is uh but anyway they developed that uh robot dog right they said well we're not going to arm it well the chinese reverse engineered that just like they'll reverse engineer these reaper drones and stuff and they're putting guns on it

and a bunch of other things like that truly is going to be amazing what we see in the future and it's going to be cheap stuff it's going to completely transform uh warfare uh even this this drone thing the other aspect of the drones is being able to use them in a swarm, just like you're talking about. We saw a little bit of that as they were attacking Israel, a swarm of drones. That was something that one writer, Daniel Suarez, was talking about in a book about a decade ago, and it was called a kill decision. And basically they would send these things in as a swarm and overwhelm the defense systems of these sophisticated ships and things like that. You know, they only have so much ammunition,

but they could put out a ton of these drones, and it completely changed warfare. And I think that's what we're going to see. And we are focused on what's going to make the most profit uh for the most complicated most expensive systems that's the way we focus on it whereas everybody else is looking at uh cheap mass-produced stuff that uh we're just not going to be able to uh cope with that it's the strategic plans and and to look at that and to think that the the arrogance and the hubris and the pride of the military industrial complex and the greed and corruption is really going to be horrendous

for the what happens to this country when we get into this war that they keep pushing all the not when we can we're in it we're in it yeah all of them but i mean when it actually when it actually starts happening it's it's really you mean when it becomes official yeah when it becomes official when it comes, when it comes home. When it comes home to the United States. That's what I mean. I know it's already started, but... You know, going back to the Iranian strike,

and it was big news when Iran hit Israel, and they were going to respond, right? They didn't. They did a little nothing. They didn't. Yeah. It did a little nothing. Yeah. It did a little nothing. Because Iran is very advanced.

These are the Persians. They're very advanced. Israel doesn't have what it takes. This is going to be my great... Israel is no way in the world that they could defeat Iran. And it's huge. Physically, it's much, much larger

than Iraq. It's very difficult. A lot of people, a lot of land, technologically sophisticated, unlike Iraq. It's a completely different ballgame. It's really stupid. Beyond stupid, it's Iraq. It's a completely different ballgame. It's really stupid. Beyond stupid, it's suicidal. It's suicidal.

Yeah. Well, they're evil. You know, you don't ask. People say, you know, why don't these politicians? I said, you don't ask a murderer why they're a murderer. That's right. That's right. You don't ask a thief why they're a thief.

You don't ask a rapist why they're a rapist. They're mentally deranged people. End of story. These are psychotic, evil, satanic, demonic people. End of story. And they're only concerned about themselves, their egos and power. That we have presidents, prime ministers telling us, chancellors telling the people, this is my decision and this is what we're going to do. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. What are you telling me to do? What are you kidding me? do? What are you kidding me? I'm going to listen to your crap? How about you're a public servant? No, no, you're just the plantation workers of Slavlandia. You don't count.

So this is going to be very, very, very, very serious. And it's only going to get worse. Macron gives Kiev leeway on missiles. French President Emmanuel Macron said Ukraine forces are allowed to use powerful cruise missiles supplied

by France to strike inside Russia. Yeah. Wall Street Journal. Yeah. That little, little freak, one little freak saying, you can do this. Where's the outrage? Latin buildings, widespread destruction. This is what Israel's limited operation in Rafal looks like.

This is from Haaretz, the israeli newspaper showing the mass of destruction of innocent people hamas lives in everybody's house in every school there in every university in every hospital we gotta wipe them all out we gotta level the whole place you get rid of vermont who are you talking who are you talking yeah oh yeah and then you know getting back to uh the war in europe how about this week where you have the uk you got rishi sunak who's running he's way behind people uh hate the policies that they've done hate what they did uh what they're doing with the climate hate what they did with the so-called pandemic and all the rest of stuff so he comes up with an idea that he's going to set up a draft yeah uh you know i mean isn't that a tell and at the same time they've got a they put out a a

website uh in the uk telling people to start prepping uh get extra food get flashlights why is there a hurricane coming uh no it's a war that's coming. And so much so, they panicked people. They had to start putting stuff. Don't panic, don't panic. But, you know, do buy a lot of storage supplies and everything because, you know, something can happen. It's amazing. It's amazing that we see all of these things.

And yet, as you point out, you know, because we've got this consolidation of the media, nobody draws any of the conclusions for these people and you know for the public and they they the story might come out and it comes out because they're telling people don't panic uh but then they completely ignore the implications of this as you point out is at the same time they're saying well we need to use these nato weapons to fire into russia now openly admitting that of course it's been going on it's just that they take the next step by openly admitting it uh and then telling people to prepare for war prepare to get drafted all the rest of this stuff again this isn't a proxy war you're giving the weapons to and there is intelligence there's there's again we wrote about this the facts that that arrogant jerk that plays

our secretary of defense uh what's his name austin lloyd austin yeah wrote about this i'm going back many many many months ago say there were american intelligence officers in ukraine so that to make sure that the weapons are not being misused what are you talking about they used they're firing them yeah it's not a proxy war at war yeah oh and i love i love little clown boys like that little blinking boy little nothing of a she playing the guitar remember like that little jerk that little jerk i was Secretary of State? Yeah. Saying that it's okay to keep firing deep into Russia.

Saying it. They're escalating the war. And they just supplied more weapons to Russia. Yeah. It's not a proxy war. You're at war with them. You're at war america is at war germany europe is at war with russia if you sent me weapons to kill people you are an accessory to

the crime mr knight yeah that's right yeah it's the same game that we saw played by FDR. We're going to send guns and material and all the rest of the stuff. And the Germans knew that game and they weren't going to play it, but the Japanese thought, well, they're going to eventually come after us, so we'll do it first and maybe we can cut the head off. But that's the same game. Get the other guys to shoot first. But this passive, aggressive, and step that's the same game, you know, get the other guys to shoot first. And, and, uh, but this passive aggressive and, and continue step-by-step escalation

that we keep seeing and all this stuff, the step-by-step stuff is for public consumption, you know, bringing the public gradually into it. And, um, so, you know, in your view, um, I would imagine that you don't think that Trump's going to be our candidate for peace in any of this stuff. He keeps telling everybody he's going to have peace on day one, right? No. He just came out. Did you see the other article came out?

They said if he was president, he would have bombed Moscow. Yeah, that's right. That's right. I saw that as well. Yeah. And he's saying that Biden's not doing enough to keep slaughtering the Palestinians. And yet that didn't really kind of register with the maga people right they keep looking at him well you know we're going to have

world war three if we don't have trump in there but he keeps talking about how he would you know he's going to go to war with all the rest of stuff because he says that in private because he knows who the real government is he knows that this is an installation, not an election, and he wants them to install him. And he'll be the most effective, I think, because he's got this aura, this image that he's created, which is totally fraudulent, that he's an anti-globalist. He's the most globalist of all these leaders. I mean, he created the shots, he pushed them out,

did all the rest of the stuff, and he did everything everybody else is doing right at the same time yep and again here's another uh just to show this this article just came out recently about um his son-in-law remember jared kushner yeah speaking at harvard university it's a little bit of an unfortunate situation there meaning uh god's a little bit of an unfortunate situation mass murder yeah of over 40 000 people killed mostly children and women anyway but from is Israel's perspective, I would do my best to move the people out of there and clean it up.

Yeah. Genocide. He called the property quote, valuable waterfront property. He said, Israel should move Palestinian civilians into the Negev desert in the country's southern region. That's Trump's son-in-law. Oh, yeah. Genocide, by

the definition. That's right. By the definition. Now, Trump is just a clown. Yeah, and you go back and look at... He's got a daddy's boy. He didn't make a penny on his own. Yeah. You know, I had lunch with his brother, Robert, back in 2017

and um and robert told me his father gave him like almost half a billion dollars when the when the uh when he died trump didn't make this money on his own yeah yeah he bankrupted uh six casinos i think yeah that's pretty bad manager if you can't make money off of a casino uh and it was all ego you know it was all ego that he had to uh to do that oh yes yeah yeah and again there's all the stories about how he screwed the contractors and others out of their last payments when they were building all these buildings yeah that's right all those facts are there yeah yeah and his brother was the lawyer robin so anyway yeah he knew that uh if he if people sued him uh that um oh they knew that if they tried to sue him to get paid for the final um payments uh that he could tie him up forever

and he would rather do that than to pay them and and so um and that's that's the case that's who the guy is you know as his own lawyer said uh deeply wounded narcissist incapable of acting except out of his own perceived self-interest or revenge and that's the thing that concerns me you know they really set him up to be the dividing line for civil war and you got people on the right civil war the last election we ever had was 2016 all the rest of the stuff they're just they're using him for not just um these foreign wars but trump is useful for them for civil war as well uh but you know though when we're talking about this nuclear war stuff and everything uh you're familiar with greenbrier and uh greenbrier hotel in west virginia which is where they had

enough room and so i see these stories being this is a story from the Daily, actually it's from The Sun out of the UK tabloid. And they show all these pictures about this massive secret nuclear bunker that everybody knows about now because they've closed it, which tells you something. This was the entire US Congress, a thousand beds, a cafe, all the rest of stuff, all these luxury things, all underground. Now, they've closed that, and it's now public knowledge, which tells us what? That they've got something bigger and better, right? This is why people like Mike Johnson and the rest of them don't care about war.

They think they're covered. They think they and their family are covered. And, you know, they've got their underground Dr. Strange love bunkers, and they don't care. They've got something even bigger and better than Greenbrier, or they wouldn't be telling us about Greenbrier. And life will be so wonderful after nuclear war. It was so much fun.

Yeah. You know, he who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust. St. Thomas Aquinas. Yeah. And I am angry.

I am angry to see what's going on and the destruction of humanity in front of everybody's eyes. It's a freak show out there. I go outside, I go, I work very hard. I like to go out and play at night. Nightlife is dead now since the COVID war,

by the way, so many musicians I know are busted. They're hardly anything going on, but I look at what the people look like how they dress how out of shape this country is it's heartbreaking yeah yeah it's heartbreaking i know and we're getting ready to have round two of that as well with the bird flu stuff i mean you look to this bird is that the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen? People died or something or something. Not even that.

I mean, they got pink eye. Come on. You and I had pink eye when we were kids, just like we had measles when we were kids, but they make this stuff up. Like it's the, you know,

the bubonic plague or something, which, um, you know, and, and, and panicking everybody about this, that these guys that they said had,

uh, was laughing about this earlier in the show. Uh, you've got, uh, one of the cases that they had back in 2022 the guy was a prisoner they gave him work release to go in and kill a bunch of chickens because they tested one chicken and and so we're going to kill millions and they've killed 92 million chickens in the last two years they used to not do that just had the

cdc director come out and say yeah we've had bird flu around for 20 years old man why are you just now starting to kill all the birds right and now they want to move to the cattle and and so it's a way for them to come after the food supply i think and shut it down what do you what do you think they're crazy people they are they are they're crazy look at the whole covid war but look again how the masses marched off to the idiocy of it. Yeah, that's right. That's right. They built, again, right across the street over here, you've been up here, there's a big parking lot

where the county office building is. And they moved the farmer's market off the street and put it into the parking lot. Outside, the sidewalk going into the parking lot outside the sidewalk going into the parking lot adults still in kindergarten drawing circles every six feet with chalk still wow no this is when it was going on okay all right and in front of every one of them and then they had a person in there

counting the amount of people going into the parking lot and in front of every vendor, six-foot circles. You're outside. The wind blows in all kinds of directions. It does not. The wind blows exactly in straight lines and stops at every six feet. Don't do what you're told. I'm not making that up.

And that was the attitude. Yeah, I know. That was the attitude. How dare you not obey? And I'm saying, just as the people marched off to the COVID war, they're going to march off to World War III. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And they'll say to idly by while the USDA kills all the cattle,

kills all the chickens, all the rest of the stuff. It's ridiculous. You know, we were told first, well, you don't mask. And then Fauci says, no, you do mask. And now you wear multiple masks. And then when the riots started and they started wearing masks, now they pass laws saying, no, you can't wear a mask, and it's going to be against the law if you wear a mask.

All the rest is, I mean, it's just all over the place. I'm telling you we have evil, demonic, satanic people running our lives. Yeah, yeah. Here. As Simon says. This latest poem that came out from Semaphore. A dying empire led by bad people. Poll finds young voters despairing over U.S. politics.

That's right. Young voters do not look at our politics and see any good guys. They see a dying empire of bad people. The guy who was out of the poll, a whopping, there's a quote, 64% agreed either strongly or somewhat that quote, nearly all politicians are corrupt and make money from their political power. Yeah. Only 7% disagreed. Yeah.

All right. Yeah. The problem is, is that I was, there's i was a guy i think it i think it might have been jeffrey tucker but he said you know the problem that we have in society today is that even when people realize that they've been lied to they retreat into cynicism and that's really what that's about it's like yeah yeah they're all corrupt and everything i'm not going to do anything about it you know so we can retreat into the cynicism and say yeah that's the way it is and we've seen that in totalitarian societies haven't we seen it going on for centuries yeah we've seen every totalitarian

societies you excuse not doing anything about it because you retreat into cynicism and that's why we need a peaceful revolution yeah that's right and right. And without it, we were lost. If we don't have a revolution for peace, again, could you imagine if the billionaires put a billion dollars each in for a peace movement? It would be there tomorrow. It would be there tomorrow. Yeah, that's right. Not a penny for peace and the billionaires.

Well, the billionaires are the ones who are making so much money off of these wars against us. What's going on with Occupy Peace? Is that what are you shooting for next September? September. OK, yeah, we're looking for the so far. September 28th is what we're we're we're shooting for. We're not sure yet, but that's the date we want to do it before the elections come. And that'd be good and so far judge

napolitano has agreed here this is from to show you the stupidity of the people march 11 2002 abc news six months after 9 11 americans are expressing enormous sustained support for the war on terrorism and broad support for George W. Bush. 82% approve of Bush's job performance. While that's 10 points below his peak in early October. Wow. It was 92% of the people swallowed the crap spewing out of the mouth of that little jerk of nothing. Yeah. Well, it always happens that way. It's one of the reasons why they take people to war.

You mentioned that with BB Net and Yahoo. If you're very unpopular and you're just hanging on by a thread politically, you can get everybody to coalesce behind you with a war, even if you start the war. You know, I mean, it doesn't matter. And when you look at 9-11, I say it all the time. This stuff that happened in 2020 was the other shoe to drop from 9-11. They practiced it two months before exactly what Trump did in 2020. And they practiced it every year with germ games. They put out the model legislation. Trump did in 2020 and they practice it every year with a germ games.

They put out the model legislation. And so they had this thing practicing it for 20 years and it goes together hand in glove with nine 11, both of them, same types of lies and fear mongering, but they were both part of the same plan in my opinion. And again, what preceded the war on terror dot-com bust which is ratings are in the toilet which you should be flushed down because there's nothing more than a piece of crap we were going into a very severe recession and of course the dot-com bust happened and then everybody forgot it we talk about the dot-com bust happened. And then everybody forgot it. When you talk about the dot-com bust, you look at AI stuff, right? And that's been the big bright spot in the market.

And then, of course, NVIDIA, because they make the tools for the AI thing and all the rest of the stuff. Do you think that with all the things that we've been seeing lately about AI and its hallucination, all this kind of stuff, are they putting up something here to pop that bubble? And if something scares people and that bubble pops momentarily because you know the dot-com stuff uh internet was uh was huge but we had that short takedown there uh what might that be a pin that might bust the stock market what do you think yeah i don't ai is different we we had forecast the dot-com bus the trends journal it's a calm this was our story when it used to be a quarterly in um in in the um last quarter or two of 1999 we said it would bust by the second quarter of 2000 we busted in march and um this is different

yes they're going to be the companies that go down that are way overvalued. But AI is the new way, unfortunately, of life. Yeah. And it's just going to keep going on like that. You know, we have in the Trends Journal, each week, we have a whole section on technocracy. And Joe Duran, which is one of our writers who writes the technocracy section.
