You go back to Trump's quotes and again they're in your trends journal week after week, month after month, not week after week after four to five weeks. For six months, 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 for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the straight of moves 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, Car Island. Yep. Total April 1st posted on so truth truth social lying social that uh Washington would be quote blasting Iran into oblivion or as they say back into the stone age if the straighter moose remain closed still closed. Oh that was April 1. We could go on one after another. June 11th Trump Trump said I'm I'm going through the others. You said we bomb the out of Iran if they 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, but you're not allowed to talk about that. And I got to tell you, I am heartbroken. There was just an article in about 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, big news is that the Dolly Parton died.

Going on here, billionaire investor Stanley Duck Miller cast doubt over whether Treasury Department's recent bond market maneuvers will be successful. A TOTAL JERKOFF BENSON JERK OFF 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. Total crap. Yep. So the break futures went down and um Trump said today that the US Navy notify him that all mines have been cleared with international waters out of straight or mov total Total Iran's going to fight back here. China vows to defense its interests. China has made clear on many occasions its firm opposition to elicit unilateral sanctions that have no basis of international law authorization of the UN security council. Economic warfare and maximizing pro maximizing pressure provide no solution. Iran's economy minister said on state TV that tan 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, 66. The Dow up 160 points. The Treasury yields fell. And that this clown Bessant 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 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 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 this is the language they use. You CNBC 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 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 FUK, 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 FUK 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. $259 a week. Nothing. And again, before the war started, average price of a gallon of gasoline in the US, $2.94. Today, $49. Diesel, $3.67, $562. 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, when all else fails, they take you to war. And that's my my worst fear of anything. And um again, this economic D-Day we say is more just more Trump Means nothing. Yep. Means absolutely nothing. We'll do nothing. And again, a number of people are saying it, too. You know, we're not alone. And um again they they just can't the com bust we still see it coming the um way overvalued and um considering the economic and geopolitical uncertainties that are shaping the world. We're very bullish as we have been on precious metals particularly gold and silver. So Brent crude was down today $543 from the Trump Bitcoin hit 81 bucks but closed at 78,000. Hit 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. And um so 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. Straight her moves remains closed under full Iranian control. This just came out. Iran's deputy prime minister has said in a televised interview that the straight muse remains closed dismissing claims that ships are passing through. It is quote baseless. America and other countries should know that the straight moose 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 that straight. So it's total total >> level >> that the straight muz is open. Yep. And again killing Palestinians every day. killed a couple of more in Lebanon today, but nobody cares about it. So, going back to your trends journal, you want to read the economic update. U United States debt, what is it? 40 trillion. Oh, and they're 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 it's a global mess. And this war that two war mongers created that 8 billion people are paying the price. let them get away with it. There it is. Yep. So, it's going on. This is global. And um again, um AI borrowing tests its limits. Again, the.com bust articles and that panic in the bond market all 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 putting on the United States how it's going to increase the United States deficit and increase its debt level and U AI frenzy vaults China's tech stock valuations above of 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's business. Yeah. Spotlight. Hormuz war shakes up shipping industry. again, one article after another and uh all the about the economic D-Day sanctions and all articles on the Iran war, the Israel war and no clean water. Children in Gaz are forced to fight to survive. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Nobody reports it. Hardly not nations and nobody in the West, I should say, reports it. And featured guest articles by Twilight/ Gleaming. There's a very important article by Judge Npalitano and uh Gregory Manorino on the economic front. Dead 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 Anisha White head of the Rustin Institute. Dumb and Dumber. America's declining empire still plays the bully worldwide by Phil Geraldi. There's no cat like him. And the cult of the good citizen part two, Gary null, trends in geopolitics, how the ramping up the Ukraine war and on and on. And um presidential reality show, trends eye 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, uh, 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 Bonman Bailey Circus went out of business. You don't have to step right up. Step right up. See the fat man, a tattooed lady, a lady with pink, green, yellow hair, and a bed. All right. I mean, it's the whole thing is 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 their phone, she yells back at them, "I told you to get off your phones." And 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.
