>> Hello everybody. This is Gerald Celente and it's Tuesday, February 17th, 2026. And pretty soon your New Trends Journal will be out. And um Here's the cover. Yep. Good thing Epstein's name wasn't Epstein-o. Yeah, imagine if he was an Italian. Hey, a mafia. You know, one of my books, the very thing I've written, this is my favorite, when Zizzi gave Honey Boy. And you can get this by going to trendsjournal.com. And Zizzi is the Neapolitan is the Neapolitan dialect for auntie. Zia's aunt, Zizzi's your auntie. Everything I've written is my fav- favorite. And there's a there's a chapter in here about um Was Columbus in the mafia? And about how the Italians, hey, when we do something, it's a big deal, right? But hey, Epstein, hey, hey, HEY, YOU ANTI-SEMITE, HOW DARE YOU COME OUT AGAINST EPSTEIN? AND AND LUTNICK, THE SCOTTNICK, AND and and and Wexner, THE FEXNER, AND THIS GUY, HEY, WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? HEY. YEAH, THIS IS IN MY BOOK. And a guy wrote this in the late 1990s. Ready? Yep. All I ever This is Zizzi speaking. All I ever heard in my lifetime was how organized crime controlled gambling and how destructive it was to society. And every time the politicians and the press talked about organized crime, they talk about the Italians. Zizzi fumed as she opened and closed her hand to mimic flapping mouths. Quote, well, I'll tell you exactly where you can find the organized criminals. In Washington and on Wall Street. Again, this is my aunt. They crack down on small operators while the big boys pull off deals worth billions. What a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites, she said. Her voice grew louder and the soft feature of her face hardened. Since coming to America, has seen prosecutors, the police, the movies, and the media portray Italians as mobsters, crooks, killers, and buffoons. Ill-mannered, loud-talking morons. As a result, many Italian immigrants of her generation refused to allow their children to speak Italian. And that's what happened to me. And they Americanized their names to fit into society. And again, my real last name is Celentano, not Salenti. Quote, let me tell you something else, said in a firm voice. I'm sick of all this mafia crap. I suppose Columbus was in the mafia, too. The Italians didn't corner the market on crime, and we didn't invent it. It was going on long before we came to this country. Who wiped out the Indians? Or forced blacks into slavery? What about Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, Jesse James, Dutch Schultz, Bugsy Siegel, and Meyer Lansky. "Fine Italian boys, aren't they?" Ziggy asked sarcastically. And it GOES ON. IF EPSTEIN WAS ITALIAN, >> >> BOY, THIS WOULD BE ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS IS HORSE THAT THESE SLIMEBALL LITTLE PRICKS LITTLE PRICKS, AS WE SAY in the Bronx, they couldn't get laid with a fistful of $10 bills in their hands and a whiles. They're going to pay Epstein to get AND THEY'RE OVER US. IT'S THE GANGSTER MOB THAT'S RUNNING AND RUINING THE WORLD. IT'S RIGHT HERE IN YOUR ZIGGY BOOK. THEY CONTROL WASHINGTON. THEY ARE POLITICAL PIECES OF AND EVERY ONE OF YOU SCUMBAGS THAT TELLS ME TO WATCH MY LANGUAGE, OFF. YOU'RE BALLESS, CUNTLESS LITTLE SCUMBAGS. YOU GOT IT? YOU GOT IT? LOOK AT THIS EPSTEIN CRAP. And speaking of that, how about Slick Willie? I didn't have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky. SHE ONLY SUCKED MY DICK. >> >> ALL RIGHT? WHO COULD GET AWAY WITH THIS? AND YOU READ MY BOOK HOW THEY BUSTED CHOPS. THIS GUY WAS A VEGETABLE MAN FOR PLAYING THE NUMBERS. OH, BUT NOW LOTTO, ALL RIGHT? WE GOT LOTTO NOW. OH, PEOPLE AREN'T GAMBLING LIKE THIS BEFORE. SHUT THE UP. WE'RE POLITICIANS, WE GOT LOTTO, WE GOT THESE NUMBERS, SO WE COULD STEAL YOUR MONEY. WE'RE THE MAFIA. SPEAKING OF THE MARKETS, they were flat today. This AI bust is coming. AI is taking over, man. And China's going to lead the world in it. And you're looking what's happening. Again, even they're saying, "Don't buy on the dips." That's right. The S&P Oh, it was up 0.1%. The NASDAQ, oh, it climbed 0.14%. Oh, and the Dow was up 0.07%. Yeah. Oh, but the bankster stocks went up. Oh, yeah? How about reading the economic update in this week's Trends Journal? Yep. Again, only not only look at the job numbers, look at the lousy low-paying jobs that are being created in the health, social service, and hospitality sectors. In the meantime, check out the bankster bandits and what they're making while America, once the land of opportunity, slumps into slave landia. This is an article from today's Financial Times. You ready? Six Wall Street chief executives take home a combined 250 million bucks. Six guys, 250 MILLION BUCKS, AND SCUMBAGS LIKE THIS LITTLE PRICK DEREGULATED THE BANKING INDUSTRY. THE BANKS WERE ONLY INTRASTATE, intra Bank of America was only in California. SLIMEBALLS, LITTLE PEANUT FARMER, PRICK BASTARD THAT PEOPLE LOOK UP TO, JIMMY CARTER. HE WAS THE FIRST scumbag that pushed that through and Clinton made it happen. They're all local banks. NOW THEY'RE BIG ZONE EVERYTHING. GET IT IN YOUR HEAD. WE'RE NOTHING MORE THAN PLANTATION workers of Slavelandia. Look at these numbers. Hey, I'm Jamie Dimon. We only got convicted of five felonies. Shut the up, all right? HEY, WE RIGGED THE PRECIOUS METALS MARKET BACK IN 2019. AND WE ONLY PAID $900 MILLION. So shut the UP, ALL RIGHT? OH, YEAH, BUT YOU WERE GOING 5 MILES OVER THE LIMIT. Where were you? WALKING A STRAIGHT LINE. STAND ON your head. REPEAT THE ALPHABET BACKWARDS. YOU'RE GOING to jail, you 0.0000.1% over a up number WE MADE. YOU DRANK too much. Yep. The pay of Wall Street bank bosses soared last year. Yep. JP Morgan, Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, GOLDMAN SACHS. GOLDMAN SUCKS. WELLS All received $40 million or more in annual pay. Yep. Anyway, the crash is coming. The dot-com bust is going to be here. Gold and silver prices are down. We said there were going to be a correction in them. This is a temporary down. And you're seeing oil prices down because there's more supply than demand. What's going to happen is the United States and or Israel going to attack Iran. If they do, it's it the game is over. You're going to see oil prices spike above $100 a barrel. And that's going to bring down the equity markets and and uh and crash the economy. Again, hit that like and subscribe to our videos.

Bitcoin's trading in the $67,500 and a coin still high range. You know, where's it going? The Trump team's going to do everything they can to come pump this thing up, but it's bigger than that. And with with things going down all over the place, a lot of people losing a lot of money across a lot of different fields. So, and again, they're going to lower interest rates to prop up the economy in the run-up to the midterm elections. Ain't ain't and if it's going to be just a win. And the win may even happen before they bring in that guy Wash, Wash, Wish, Wash to take over Powell's place. Again, we're giving you everything that we can. Oh, no, no, you know what? Go to CNN. Go to the Cartoon News Network. Here, this is the front page of their site. Yep, DNA on gloves found near Nancy Guthrie's home. All right, look look at this. It's over 3 weeks. This is the major stuff they're shoving down people's throat. All right? Yeah, I'm sorry that this woman with whatever is going on happened to her. Oh, what what they kill? Oh, 14 Palestinians the other day? Oh, on Sunday they just killed another what? Five people in Lebanese Israel. They could kill anybody they want. Shut the up, Salenti. All right? So, anyway, you're seeing the this thing is going to go down big and they're not telling you how bad things are. They're brainwashing the people. And that's by the way what inspired me to write this book with Izzy Gave Honeyboy. I used to go visit her back in the day. I used to go down to city a lot. I used to be on CNN. I used to be on Cartoon News Network. It was a good show back in the '90s. I used to be on Oprah, the Today Show, Good Morning America. I used to be on down all the time, Fox, everybody. But I got blacklisted because I won't suck up and bow down and swallow their Anyway, one day I go there and she used to cook for me all the time. She could hardly walk. She had severe phlebitis. And she had all the dishes in the sink. I started washing them. She says, "Sit down. Sit down." I says, "No, no. I I got I got to I got to wash them." She says, And she says, "Shut that television off." She said, "I listened to the news all day yesterday. What a bunch of They must think we're all morons." Oh, you don't like Sissy's language. I forgot. Yeah. "What a bunch of shit." she said. And that's all it is. It's a show. So, going on to what's going on in your Trends Journal, a lot of very important articles. Yep. Market overview, you're not going to want to miss. Special report, AI fears grip equity markets, where this thing is going, how it's going. And again, whole load of different articles, too, on inflation rates, uh Trump's policy, US debt grew by $1.4 billion, uh how electricity costs are killing hurting people very badly. And um what's going on with the home sales, where they're going. And um whole bunch of different articles, uh Gregory Mannarino, Judge Napolitano, Gary Null, Dr. Joseph Mercola, and others. Guest articles, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, one after another. And again, we're going to where are the uh spotlights on the auto industry, where it's going, and who's going to lead it. Businesses going out of business. Jobs being lost. An Israeli war. They keep stealing more and more Palestinian land in violation of the Geneva Convention and Article 242, and nobody cares. Yep. Hey, but what happened to that country's here? That that's the news. Yep. What else? Netanyahu meets with Trump in DC to talk about war with Iran. What really happened between these two? They're not telling us. What's going to happen with Iran? I believe nothing's going to happen until the weekend. And this may be the weekend where things get really ugly. Again, what she says, "Fire, Israel kills another foreign aid in Lebanon." And Gaza death toll. Featured guest articles. Trends in geopolitics. More countries see the US as top security threat. One war after another as our country's rotting in front of us. Again, the business of America is war, the business of China is business. The monkey business we got over here. And again, presidential reality show. US carries out 31 air strikes on Somalia. Yep. This year already. 31. And they had this uh AOC, this Ocasio-Cortez. She went to this uh Munich Security Conference. Yeah, brought to you by um Boeing, Lockheed. Yeah. Oh, she's against what's going on in Israel, but we got to stop those Russians, you know, yeah. And and what about Iran? Well, this or that or this or that. It's a presidential reality show. And she's a perfect candidate for the presidential reality show. She may be the person that they put up there to run for president in 2028. Because the young people will vote for her. They'll swallow the crap. Little nobody from nothing, but they all are. It's a nobody show. So, it'll be between her and and Gruesome Newsom. Maybe Gruesome Newsom will be the president and she'll be the vice president. Yeah, something like that. That would be a good ticket that the Democrats could win on. Because Republicans don't have anybody that other than Trump. And they had enough of Trump and if he's still even here by then, you know, if you don't uh you know. Eat eat himself to death. >> >> The crap that he eats. And the ICE memo? They're going to have 38 billion, almost 40 billion dollars to build concentration camps to put immigrants in. 40 billion dollars. I go to this place, the Glen Cove Mansion, with the judge, in Westchester, New York, an exactly an hour from here. Beautiful, beautiful place. You You think you're in Florence, Italy. And one of the richest guys in America, in New York City, built it in the early 1900s. It's not over 2,000 acres. The place is gorgeous. Look it up, Glen Cove Mansion. Right next to it, ICE is going to build a concentration camp in an empty building that got big uh used to be a factory of some sort. It's going on all over the country. 30 billion dollars is while our country is rotting to do this ICE crap. And again, trends I view, preteens who can't put down their phones are more risk for mental health issues. Yeah, no kidding. Again, I don't carry a cell phone. I maybe made 10 calls in the whole year on my flip phone if I made even that many. And obesity greatly increases the risk of hospitalization. Yep. And it costs more and more in America to go to the hospital. The expenses are ridiculous. So I say if I'm elected I want a fat tax. The more you weigh the more you pay. Just to make it clear.
