>> Hello everybody. This is Gerald Celente and it's Thursday, September 24th, >> >> 2026. And here are some of today's trends in the news. And remember, the trend is your friend and you don't get it anywhere, anyplace like we're giving it to you. That's right. They don't do trends analysis, trends forecasting in the New York Slime, the Wall Street Journal, none of them anywhere, anyplace, the Cartoon News Network, CBS, YOU, why are you? You got it. I can't say that. Oh, by the way, they're shadow banning me because they don't like my language. off. off. Somebody puts a gun to your head. Oh, please, please don't shoot me. Oh, you're killing innocent people. What the are they doing? Don't say that. You could kill any innocent person you want. Hey, I'm the president. You don't DO WHAT I TELL YOU. I'M GOING TO ANNIHILATE YOU, RIGHT? HOW AM I BLACKLISTING THAT GUY FOR saying that? Huh? How about saying I'll annihilate you, but don't say You got to off. off. You got it? Anyway, moving on. The markets today. The Dow down for third day because those bond yields are going up. And again, the bond yields are going up, gold prices are going down and uh com- countries are selling, people are buying you. Wait. This is bond yield crisis is about to crash a lot of the equity markets and the economy. And when that happens, you're going to see gold prices spike beyond the belief. So, the Dow was down for the third straight session. It was down 161 points. And the next the S&P was down 0.2, the Nasdaq up 0.1, basically flat. And um Ready for this? Again, nothing more than >> It's not it's Trump >> You got it? You ready? Stocks came off their session lows after Reuters citing US sources. US sources, lying pricks. And of course, I don't want to get blacklisted, so I um can't say the other word. Said that um they were Iranian negotiators in New York are considering a deal that would bring a phased end to the conflict in the Middle East. How many times have we been hearing this They brought down the markets with more of these lies, and again, all you have to do is go back to your economic update this week. And we report how Here it is. US crude oil prices tumbled back below $100 a barrel after Trump says he's open to talking to Iran at the UN. They know it. The president told Fox News that he would likely be meeting with Iran president. They never met. Just more more >> it's Trump >> Yep. Brought down oil prices, just did it again with the market. A total lie because you know what um Brent crude is now? It went below 107 on Monday when he spewed out this crap on Sunday. Below 100 and now 107 dollars and 51 cents a gallon. A barrel, excuse me, for Brent. As for the gallon $4.48 for a gallon of gas $6.52 for a gallon of diesel fuel and again, trucks, planes they take they change the diesel for planes but it's diesel and and trains they use diesel. So, the more it costs, the more prices are going to go up because the more it costs for delivery. And before the war remember diesel is 6.52 it was $3.81 a gallon. And back then a gallon of gas was $2.92 before they started the war in February 28th. So the 30-year Treasury hit a high of 5.47% and the 10-year Treasury note, and this is very important cuz it's tied to mortgages and a lot of the loans 5.183. That's a level that has not reached since just before the panic of '08. You got it. Late 2007. And again, you can look it up. We took out the domain name the panic of '08 in November of 2007. So, um the CME FedWatch Tool It there's a 71% likelihood that the Federal Reserve will lift its key rate once more in October. So, the higher the rates go, the more it costs on loans. And mortgages go up, credit cards go up, the private equity crisis gets worse. All these loans for the big boom in AI got to pay more. This thing is serious. Yeah. An article in today's Wall Street Journal, a perfect storm is ra- raging ragging raging in the bomb bond market. Yep. The Federal Re- Then at 1:00 p.m. they're talking yesterday, the Federal Reserve government auctioned a fresh five-year Treasury yield note was met with weak demand. You got it? I remember this messing lying clown. "Hey, we got control of the state of all moves." You remember that guy? Yeah. And remember he um he had Treasury Scott Bessent has sought to tamp yields down with a buyback program. Remember that one? Zero did zero. Oh, the guy's worth about $700 million now. Yep. Well, before uh Geely unveils ultra-fast EV charging and battery race is battery race intensifies. Very important. This is a Chinese company. They said their new ultra-fast system charge batteries charged the battery from 10% to 70% in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. And the charge could change from 10% to 97% in 8 minutes and 40 seconds. I'm mentioning this because China is going to be the world leader. They are already in EVs, in AI, in batteries. We're giving you all the information in your Trends Journal. The business of America is war, the business of China is business. Meanwhile, their domestic economy is going down because of their locking the place down for for 3 years, zero COVID policy. But, um their uh exports continue to surge. China's share of container exports rises sharply to 40%. The figure also represents a 2.5% increase in just 9 months. China's global trade surplus between January and August 805 billion dollars. Oh, the United States has a negative trade surplus. So, listen, subscribe to our Trends Journal. We're giving you everything that no one else is giving you. We're giving you history before it happens. Put your money where your mind is. The more support we get, the more we can do to help reverse these negative trends brought to you by scumbag politicians >> >> in a country near you. Of course, you can get these by going to trendsjournal.com along with my shirts here. Just to make it clear how we feel. Yep. Here's the back of it. So, now they're saying that China's global trade surplus is going to break last year's record. There's other things you can get at trendsjournal.com. com Tr- of $1.2 trillion. dollars. you imagine? Hey, we're paying that out interest on our loans. I got to cancel it. That's and they're making that money. Yeah. China spends a record nearly 160 billion dollars in importing gold this year. This is very important. They see the future. And the future is gold. Number one. Safe haven asset as the world goes to Yep. And China's also the world's biggest producer of bullion according to the World Gold Council. The world's second largest economy. Yes, but again, nearly 160 billion dollars. They spent 96 billion last year. Billion. This is serious. Surging government bond yields raise alarm. Yep. You got it. Sharply rising government bond yields are major concern to countries' public finances giving a mounting share of spending being consumed by debt interest. Oh, that's from the OECD. And that's from the Financial Times. And by the way, that's one of the better papers. And this guy spoke to the Financial Times. And um Global debt across households, companies, and governments climbed to a fresh record. You ready? 365 trillion dollars in the first half of this year. Again, as the yields go up, the rates go up, the more it costs to service your debt. This is a crisis in front of everybody's eyes. And who else do we have here? USA I buildout is on track as biggest ever economic bet. This is from the Wall Street Journal today. Very important. Yep. The artificial intelligence buildout is on track to become the biggest economic bet in US history. Dwarfing the investment made to fund other high other huge US infrastructure projects like railroads, the US highway, and what they did with the plumbing for the internet and everything else. Railroads, once upon a time before they screwed them all up, railroads were great. But they made this highway crap, they destroyed the railroads. As I said, pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? Track 49, you better get there on time. Now it's Amtrak. Small startups use AI to get even smaller. This is another article from the New York Times. I'm mentioning this because AI is going to wipe out a lot of jobs, and these AI companies are wiping out their own jobs. So, Netanyahu came to the United States today. Major thruway shutdown as Netanyahu's motorcade came in, all right? They shut down a major portion of the New York State Thruway for this Could you imagine that? Just up everybody's life. HEY, I'M NETANYAHU, SHUT IT DOWN, SHUT IT DOWN. DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? Could you believe this Of course. He told Syria's president to open a Bible if he wants to understand his real claim to the Golan Heights. This is he's speaking at the UN podium. He said, quote, "The Jews have been in the Golan Heights since the days of Moses. You can read it in the Bible." OH, YEAH, CHAPTER 6, SECTION 8. I got to believe this HEY, WHO WAS THERE BEFORE MOSES? OH, we're talking Moses was there about They say be 1400 1526 to 1406 BC. Who's there before him? Google it up. Marty Newman, Homo sapiens, have been on Earth for about 300,000 years. HEY, OFF. NOBODY WAS THERE. NOBODY WAS THERE BEFORE THE JEWS. JUST SWALLOW THAT NETANYAHU AND YOUR MOSES CRAP. I GOT TO BELIEVE THIS FAIRY TALE? OF COURSE YOU DO, OR WE'LL KILL you like we're killing people all over Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, and Syria. And while the broader human evolutionary lineage started 6 million years ago. You got it? You got it? A fairy tale. Stolen land, MURDERING PEOPLE, AND I GOT AND WHAT IF I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOUR RELIGION? HOW MANY RELIGIONS are there? Ah, A COUPLE OF THOUSAND. NO, YOU GOT TO BELIEVE MINE. YEAH, WHAT DID uh Karl Marx say? Religion, the opiate for the people. They say not the masses, they said the people. Yep. Netanyahu used UN speech to sanitize genocide of Palestinians, Mandani says. New York This is from finance from uh Haaretz. New York City Mayor Mandani said Thursday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used his address to the UN assembly to repeat baseless lies. Yep. To sanitize his genocide of Palestine Palestinians. In a statement Mondani said that no lie quote could change the fact that Netanyahu Netanyahu remains the subject of International Criminal Court arrest warrant alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity. What did Netanyahu Shame on you Netanyahu accuses Mondani of anti-Semitism. You can't come out against genocide. You're an anti-Semite. And Netanyahu said that shame on you. Shame on you for distorting facts. Hey, you Netanyahu. Shame on you for inverting victim and aggressor. Shame on you for spitting on the face of truth. Mr. Mondani, since you were elected mayor of New York City, many Jews no longer feel safe. A lot of Jews voted for him. Netanyahu, you got it? The biggest Jewish city in the world outside of Israel and they elected Mondani got elected because a lot of Jewish people voted for him. So, you're full of Here's a simple truth. He said Israel did not commit genocide. Israel prevented genocide. Not according to Amnesty International. Not according to Human Rights Watch Netanyahu. Not according to the International Association of Genocide Scholars. Not according to the US UN Special Committee and not according to Doctors Without Borders. So, I guess they're all full of too. Israel continues to bar Arab party from election. This is from the Financial Times. They Israel's central elections committee had voted to block a leading Arab party. It's an apartheid state, you got it. It's not a democracy. Shove that word up your ass. Another article from Haaretz, Iran president speaks to you at UN. Tehran seeking nuclear energy, not a bomb. Yep. The president said I had prepared a speech to present to you yesterday. The United States president described us as terrorists. We have been victims of terrorism. He's 100% correct. The United States and Israel attacked Iran in June of 2025 and February 28th of this year. Hey, thought they were going to attack us first, all right? And again, two warmongers start a war that's costing eight billion people a price and eight billion people can't stop two warmongers. Our country peaceful nuclear technology is part of our inherent process. Iran does not accept nuclear technology that at the exclusive disposal of some of a handful. We say it clearly, no nuclear weapons and no limitations to peaceful nuclear technology. Anyway, keeps going on. He also said Iran will not be bullied. And Tehran criticizes Canada for not condemning condemning Trump's threat to destroy Iran. This is from the corny clown up in Canada. Oh, YOU REMEMBER TRUE DOPE? YOU REMEMBER TRUE DOPE? THEY GOT ANOTHER DOPE THERE, ANOTHER ARROGANT ARROGANT ARROGANT CLOWN BOY FROM THE BANKS to bandit clown. What is it? BlackRock? Yeah, oh yeah, one of them there. Goldman Sachs, one of them, one of them, yeah. You know what he said? Connie said that um chose to appease Washington, this this guy says, by reframing the threat to annihilate Iran as merely speaking the language of law. On Wednesday, Connie had reportedly said Iran is, quote, you ready for this? one of the greatest threats in the current world. And it poses, quote, existential threat to Israel and its allies. A lying PRICK. THEY ARE NOT THE GREATEST THREAT. HEY, look what Iran did starting that Vietnam War. Oh, I forgot, look what Iran did starting that Korean War. Oh, look what Iran did starting the Iraq War. Oh, that was brought to you by Jimmy Carter, who started the Iran-Iraq War, but not that one, the one that the United States started. How about the Afghan War brought to you by little GEORGIE BUSH? HOW ABOUT the Nobel Peace of Crap Prize winner Obama overthrowing the government of Libya and destroying Syria. I want that guy sought out of there. Yeah. A lying, lying clown. He added, Mark McConney must understand that time is too ruthless to let the shelter of illusion and hypocrisy endeavor forever. A day will surely dawn when those who sought refuge in the long shadow of American bullying, believing that mimicking the language of the mighty could shield them from the claws of power, will stand bare before the truth. Yeah, and Trump said he had a big decision to make on whether to cut a deal with Iran a quote annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly. Could you imagine this? Could you imagine saying this? Yep. So, very very serious. Berlin pushes for Europe pean made patriots. Boris Pistorius Boris pissed up your ass the clown guy who's a defense minister over there in Germany wants to build more missiles to send to Ukraine. Quote, we are offering to help meet the enormous demand that has emerged from these and other American systems by establishing production lines in Europe and Germany. Yep, Pistorius and head signed a treatment of intent. Oh. More defense, more building up the military industrial complex. Trump's sons poured cash into defense startups that generated $6 billion in government business. Yep. That's according to the Washington Post. World leaders nearly all agree United Nations is failing. No I've been calling it the United Nothings for long time. A bunch of arrogant pieces of scum bureaucrats that we pay for that don't do There was an article in the uh the uh New York Times today. Voters distrust it's volatility in midterms. In the United States trust in government top 70% in the 1950s, post World War II. Let's go into few research. You ready? The latest one, this is 2025 in September. A year ago, it's down to 17%. 17% of the people only trust this crime syndicate, the Republicans and the Democrats. Genocide Joey, you forgot him. Oh, yeah. One guy, they have this picture of this with this woman. I'm no longer a Democrat. I no longer believe in either party. They both abandoned us. You got it. Yep. And it's only going to get much, much worse. And here's an article in today's Wall Street Journal. Or yesterday's. Vatican marches seek end to Gaza genocide. Why? How dare they say that? Netanyahu call these these Vatican marches out. The priests against genocide, IT'S NOT GENOCIDE. I'M NETANYAHU. YOU'RE JUST A dirty Catholic. Listen to Moses, all right? All right, anyway. The priests against genocide network was born in August 2025 and includes more than 2,500 priests and bishops from five countries. If the praying at the Vatican, the protesters moved to the Palestinian Lebanese embassies. And then on to Rome headquarters in Italian France blah blah blah blah uh Again, several experts, including those commissioned by the United Nations body, have said Israel's war in the Gaza Strip is genocide. Oh, yeah. You know, why why Netanyahu says, "That's not. You're a liar. How dare the Wall Street Journal say that? But anyway, and Pope Francis once called for the investigation, right? About genocide. Once. 2,000 500 priests. How many priests are there? Uh Catholic priests? 407,000 421. And only 2,500 turned out? How many bishops? 5,525. How many cardinals? 240. How many nuns? Nearly 600,000. And you got a lousy 2,500. Where are all the religions? As they say, were the Quakers dying in earthquake? Seventh-day Adventists waiting for the eighth day? Thou shalt not kill. You forgot about that? What? Looking at the other side of the Catholic Church, church victims seek reparations. About 2,000 people who have been reported sexually abused by priests and other church representatives have sought reparations from a French independent body. Yep. This has been going on forever. Screwing these little boys. Yep. I don't want to hear about your religions until you do something to live in the name of the God that you believe in, and you people are doing nothing.
