We've been putting in the Trump that's The bull is dead coming out of his mouth. Yep. Trump said uh again dozens of times that if they did not agree to a ceasefire, the US military would bomb Iran into ruins. March 30th. If any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and as the Strait of Hormuz is not immediately open for business, we will conclude our lovely quote, "Stay in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all their electric generating plants, oil wells, Kharg Island, Yep. Total April 1st. Posted on So Truth Truth Social, lying social, that Washington would be quote blasting Iran into oblivion, or as they say, back into the Stone Age, if the Strait of Hormuz remain remain closed, still closed. Oh, that was April 1st. We could go on. It's one after another. June 11th, Trump Trump said I'm I'm going through the others. He said we bomb the out of Iran if they do not agree to a deal. They haven't agreed to the deal. They have agreed to the deal. The United States and and Israel have violated. You're not allowed to talk about that. And I got to tell you, I am heartbroken. Uh there was just an article in about the the the the thousands of people still buried under the rubble in Gaza. And you look at these pictures, the place 90% of it bombed into total ruins. It was a beautiful place at one time. People living in tents and starving. Oh, they just killed another two people in Lebanon. Oh, the big news is that the Dolly Parton died. And and yeah, I'm sorry she died, but that's all the news, nothing about other people dying. And again, don't don't don't you subscribe to the Trends Journal, subscribe to the Wall Journal.

So, subscribe to the Trends Journal. We're giving you history before it happens. And it's going on here. Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller cast out over whether Treasury Department's recent bond market maneuvers will be successful. A TOTAL JERK-OFF BASIN, JERK-OFF, FUCK-OFF crap to artificially prop up the markets, bring down mortgage rates in the run-up to the midterm elections, as we said. Total crap. Yeah, so the Brent crude futures went down, and um Trump said today that the US Navy notified him that all mines have been cleared with international waters at the Strait of Hormuz. Total Total Iran's going to fight back. Yeah. China vows to defend its interests. China has made clear on many occasions its firm opposition to illicit unilateral sanctions that have no basis of international law authorization of the UN Security Council. Economic warfare and maximizing maximizing pressure provide no solution. Iran's economy minister said on state TV that Iran is quote fully prepared to withstand sanctions. The government is and was ready as it has a two-year plan to manage these events. We have our own tools and we know how to play the games. You got it? Total So the S&P was up, the Nasdaq was up a bit, 0.66, the Dow up 160 points, the Treasury yields fell, and that this clown Bessen is now saying they could use a trillion dollars to the general account to fund the bond repurchases as the United States is 40 trillion dollars in debt. They're rigging the markets. They're going to do everything they can in the run-up to the midterm elections. Uh Dick's Sporting Goods plunged 30% following disappointing results. Read your Trends Journal about Walmarts and all the other all the other mainstream Slavelandia retail outlets that are losing dough. And again, not my data, the data being reported, the top 10% are responsible for 49% 50% of all retail spending. And again, sentiment was so this is the language they use. You can see NBC. Sentiment was hurt by a worse than expected consumer confidence reading and a worsening trade conflict between the US and Canada. Consumer confidence went lower in August and grew particularly downbeat about the look of the future down the road. The consumer confidence board index went down. All right? The people are starving. The war is making a very bad situation worse. They're losing the war, this economic D-Day. What the you're talking about comparing this to D-Day? They're Arrogant arrogant So, the economic update. We make this very clear. Chief Seattle said all things are connected like the blood which unites a family. And in trend forecasting, we say all things are connected. So, you have to make connections between different fields. And this Ukraine war ramping up now that France and the UK, the OH THE KING'S COUNTRY, THE KING I HATE THAT WORD. >> >> I HATE THAT WORD. ROYALTY. OFF. OFF YOU CLOWNS IN YOUR COSTUMES. IT'S Halloween time. And people suck up to this Anyway, the with the new clown they got as the prime minister and France is sending Ukraine more missiles, defense systems, uh technology on and on and on to keep ramping up this war. Many countries in Europe are doing it. We are on the verge of nuclear annihilation. So do nothing for peace. Shut your mouth. Don't don't come out against war. Not one person on the mainstream media coming out against THIS WAR. NOT ONE. SO SUPPORT US. trendsjournal.com $2.59 a week. Nothing. And again, before the war started average price of a gallon of gasoline in the US $2.94. Today $4.09. Diesel $3.67 $5.62. Very important because the trucks use diesel. So everything being delivered, ships, all the diesel fuel, everything's much more expensive and that's why everything is going down. We are on the verge of the greatest depression. And again, with all those fears they take you to war and that's my my worst fear of anything. And um again, the seek economic D-Day we say is more just more Trump Means nothing. Yep. Means absolutely nothing. Will do nothing. And again, a number of people are saying it too. You know, we're not alone. And um again They just can't get the dot com bust. We still see it coming. The um way overvalued and um considering the economic and geopolitical uncertainties that is shaping the world, we're very bullish as we have been on precious metals, particularly gold and silver. So, Brent crude was down today $5.43 from the Trump Bitcoin hit 81 bucks, but closed at 78,000. 81,000. 78,512. Again, it's in your Trends Journal. The facts are all there. One of the uh in our presidential reality show section, which is right over here, the um poll, Americans say Trump family have inappropriately profited from crypto. Prediction markets rigged. Okay, on and on and on. So, that's what we're looking at. And what else do we have here? Gold was up 720, 4,657. Silver was down 31 cents. And um so, we're we're still bullish on Bitcoin. Again, the Trump team is in it. They're going to do everything they can to keep propping it up. >> >> Strait of Hormuz remains closed on the full Iranian control. This just came out. Iran's deputy foreign minister has said in a televised interview that the Strait of Hormuz moves remains closed, dismissing claims that ships are passing through. It is, quote, baseless. America and other countries should know that the Strait of Hormuz will not be open except through Iranian arrangements. That's his quote. Adding that Iran remains, quote, in a state of war. He said recent clashes have made Iran's position unequivocal. He added that Iran and Oman have reached quote an understanding to begin technical negotiations to agree on an alternative route to the previous historical route of straight of Hormuz. So, it's total total >> Trends Journal.com 5 >> that the straight of Hormuz is often. Yep. And again, killing Palestinians every day, killed a couple of more in Lebanon today, but nobody cares about it. So, going back to the Trends Journal, you want to read the economic update. Uh United States debt What is it? 40 trillion? Oh, and they Yeah, they're buying treasuries. Yeah, sure. By the way, consumer debt hit a record in Canada 2.6 trillion. We're mentioning this because this is a global mess. And this war that two warmongers created that 8 billion people are paying the price, let them get away with it. There it is. Yep. So, it it's going on. This is global. And um again um AI borrowing tests its limits. Again, the dot-com bust articles in that. Panic in the bond market. We'll go about that, what's going on in it. And on the global economic front when the economy falls, jobs go with it. Going out of business trends, showing you the facts, what's really going on that you're not getting anywhere else. And um these the trade the sanctions that Trump is putting on Canada, Canada putting on the United States, how it's going to increase the United States deficit and increase its debt level. And um AI frenzy vaults China's tech stock valuations above US rivals. What have we been saying? That China is going to lead the world in AI, robotics, uh EVs, high-tech in every different way, batteries. Again, the business of America is war, the business of China is business. Yeah, spotlight. War moves war shakes up shipping industry. Again, one article after another. And all the about the economic D-Day sanctions. And all articles on the Iran war, the Israel war. And no clean water, children in Gaza are forced to fight to survive. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Nobody reports it. Hardly no nations and nobody in the West, I should say, reports it. And featured guest articles by Twilight Slash Gleaming. This is a very important article by Judge Napolitano. And uh Gregory Mannarino on the economic front, debt inflation and the collapse of purchasing power. America is being erased from within faster. This is so sad what's happening. And um The gloves are off, ice electric shock weapons and secret police. John and Nisha White at the Rutherford Institute. Dumb and dumber, America's declining empire still plays the bully world war I by Phil Giraldi. There's no cat like him. And the cult of the good citizen part two, Gary Null. Trends in geopolitics, how they're ramping up the Ukraine war. And on and on and um presidential reality show. Trends in I views. Yep. And trends in high-tech science, trends in AI. We're giving you everything we can that nobody else is. So, we're going to take off tomorrow with the judge, won't won't be doing it. And taking the rest of the week off. So, thanks for tuning in. We need a break. I've never been sadder in my life that I have to read every day about the horrors going on in the world and the decline of our society and humanity. It's a freak show out there. As I said, the Barnum and Bailey Circus went out of business. You don't have to step right up, step right up. See the fat man and tattoo lady, lady with pink, green, yellow hair in a bed. All right? I mean, it's the whole thing is so sad. I'm watching a woman walking down the street. She's looking at her phone. Three little kids, maybe between the ages of five and seven, walking down the street looking at their cell phones. As she's on her phone, she yells back at them, "I told you to get off your phones." As she's on her phone. People walk down All all the vibe is gone. All the vibe is gone. And I'm very concerned that they're going to drive us into nuclear annihilation if we don't have peace on Earth, goodwill to all. So, please support us. The more support we have, the more we can do. Thank you.
