Foreign. Welcome back, folks. And joining us, as I said, is Gerald Celente of the Trends Journal. And of course, if you go to trendsjournal.com you can use promo code KNIGHT to get 10% off that publication. It is a very, very large, very, very detailed publication. And let’s go ahead and scroll down so people can see that cover right there. And of course, you see there Germany, World War Three, Mertz Heil Mertz. And thank you for joining us, Gerald. Hope you’re having a good day today. Well, thank you so much for having me. You know, you were talking about Trump.

He launched the COVID war on March 13, 2020. Black Friday called the state of emergency. He bragged about the COVID jab. And when you go back to when Biden was running against him, Biden and Kamala Harris made fun of Trump for pushing the operation warp speed jab. They said he’s just doing this to get votes. And then they became the biggest supporters of it. So don’t forget, wear your mask and stand six feet apart on these masks. Remember, you read the box and what does it say? These masks do not eliminate exposure to the risk of any disease or infection, but wear them anyway.

Good, because I’m the politician running your city, your state and your country. The damage done by the COVID war is incalculable. One of the things that nobody’s talking about that you’re only getting in the Trends Journal is the office building bust. Let’s go back to 2019. Your office vacancy rate was about 11%. Today it’s nearly double that. Vacant. Nobody there. Over 20% of the buildings in the top cities in America. Are you going to a place like Portland, Oregon? 35% vacant. 35% vacant. Homeless crackheads. Whole different world. Whole different world by little low life pieces of scum called politicians.

Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant little boys and girls who can’t get a job in the real world and then suck off the public tit their whole lives and tell you what to do. Hey, roll out the red carpet. Roll out the red carpet. Hey, just we talked about Maersk, little Maersk, the little arrogant piece of scum that’s now the chancellor over in Germany. Where do you come from? BlackRock? Yeah, three companies, BlackRock, Vanguard and State street control 88% of the S&P 500. It’s a crime syndicate running the world. You look at these clowns. Are they doing in Germany? Oh, they only have.

They’re only in a recession for two years, heading to the third year of recession. Yeah, but we’re going to borrow a trillion dollars to stop them Russians. Because if we don’t stop them Russians they’re going to take over all of Europe. This is coming from Germany. Trillion dollars to build up their defense as they’re in recession. Not only Germany, France, uk, the Nordic countries. Oh, German, German troops are now in Lithuania. Oh, right on the Russian border. Germany, Germany. Huh, Like I said, you like World War I, like World War II. This little arrogant clown boy Mercen sending long range missiles to strike deep into side, deep inside of Russia and, and again a trillion dollars.

And here’s the lie that they’re all selling. It’s going to build up the economy. No it’s not. Products that are made and his words, the money. We are going to build up the military industrial complex. That’s out of his mouth. He’s calling it the military industrial complex. Oh, like Eisenhower did. Five star general, supreme commander of the Allied Forces. Two term president. He warns the American people that the military industrial complex is robbing the nation of the genius of the scientists. Whether the labors in the future of the children. And now you got this clown Maersk and all these others saying it’s going to build up the economy.

No it’s not. The money’s just going to go to their buddies in the military industrial complex. Economies are built up when the products that are produced are bought by consumers. That’s what builds the economy. So they’re taking us. World War three has already begun. There’s going to be something that makes it official. This is very serious. What’s going on. And again as I was talking about before about these political clowns. Roll out the red carpet. Look at the red carpet. Google it up. With Zielinski and and Mertz. Look at it. Google it up. They met a couple of days ago.

Big red carpet. Big red carpet. And all these little boys dressed up in their drag uniforms. Saluting little boys in your drag costumes. Saluting almost soldier. Yeah, yeah, that’s your little nothing of a boy, nothing of a girl. Roll out the red carpet. Look what just happened up in Canada. King Charles III was up there with his little costume with all the little medals on them. Yeah, not my language. Speaking to Canada, King Charles warns of dangerous times ahead. This is out of the turret paper record in New York Times. Ready for this quote. We must be clear eyed.

Charles said. Clear eyed. What did this little clown clear eyed this little dead little jerk and shove this royal family crap up here. You know what if they were Italian, get called the Mafia. The royal family With a royal history of murder all around the world. But kiss their ring anyway goes on. The world is more dangerous and uncertain place than at any point since the second World War. Canada is facing challenges that are unprecedented in our lifetime. And what is Canada doing? Let’s see over here. I had the article Canada will join European Union new defense plan that aims to rapidly increase military arms production.

All right, right there. Carney’s military spending. Carney carnival. Another. They got rid of true dope up there in Canada. They got the carny carnival. Arrogant, arrogant banks. The guy up there now will add $64 billion in defense to the economy. Economic gains of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s defense spending boost will likely be worth more than double the planned investment costs according to the bank of Commerce. Yep. And they keep saying here that it’s going to build up their economy. This is Canada. What the hell you doing getting involved in Europe for? Same with him with the United States.

I, I launched occupied peace. Your dad was up here, Mom. Now there’s the, you know, talking about, you know I launched that. He’s one of the speakers. I launched it over a decade ago. I read George Washington’s farewell address. This is a real man that fought, remember Washington cross the Delaware. Yeah. Not like these little boys couldn’t fight the way to have a paper bag. And I don’t think paper bag big enough for Trump. Me and Trump are the same age. He got five draft deferments. I got a bone spur on my ankle. But I love war.

But I won’t fight like Biden. Same little clown. So going on. Their economies are going down and they’re spending more money on defense. As I say, when all else fails, they take you to war. All these economies are going down and they’re going deeper in debt to fight war. So I read Washington’s farewell address. He said don’t get involved in these foreign entanglements. Basically this crap’s been going on for centuries. We’re not going to fix it. They can’t fix it. Our purpose is to protect America. And that’s what occupied pieces. Close all the bases overseas. What do we got like some 800 bases in.

In about 90, 70, 80 countries. Secure the homeland, put the troops to work to build, rebuild our rotted infrastructure. So again, a real man, George Washington don’t get involved in this crap. Oh, by the way just came out. I think Trump is bombing the hell out of Somalia to get those evil people over there that are trying to fight. What are we doing? We can’t find it on the map. Anybody out there? Show me where Somalia is on the map. Tell me all about Somalia. Why we should be there killing people. Yeah, just. It doesn’t matter.

Wherever it is on the globe, America is more than willing to extend its reach over there. Or we have made war our business. That seems to be the only thing we really export anymore at this point is death and bombs. And we are willing to supply it and finance it wherever we can find it. And just the sheer number of casualties that have happened in Gaza and, oh, it’s. I believe it’s up to something like 50, 54,000 people since the October 7th attack. And that is just horrifying to know that we are, if not completely responsible, at least partially financing and funding and giving our blessing to this.

And that is what the American foreign policy is, and that is what the majority of the world sees it for at this point. Just this bullying, swaggering arrogance that says, if you don’t do what we say, we will find some pretext to launch missiles at you and destroy your infrastructure. But we actually have an article here from Scott Ritter, and my dad says that you’re friends with Scott and so talking. Oh, yeah, he’s talking about how Ukraine needed Western help to target Putin’s helicopter. And of course, we saw last week, or maybe it was early this week, but Putin’s helicopter, as he was visiting the Kursk region, got involved or in the middle of a drone swarm that was sent out by Ukraine.

And so now Scott Ritter is saying that someone has said that it would have needed Western help for the Ukraine to figure this out and do that. So that is, again, we’re just more and more involved in direct escalation in this conflict. No matter what Trump says as a public face, like, oh, we want peace, we want to de. Escalate things. Unless he actually tells the military to pull back, unless he actually does something substantive, it doesn’t matter. Words are just words. How dare you say that about Trump. I’m gonna end that war. 24 hours. All right? You elect me, I’m in the 24 hours.

Yeah. How. How fast did that go out the window? You know, hey, now that I got elected, that was going to end before I get into office. All right? How can you believe this crap? Where’s the outrage? What’s going on in Gaza? I gotta write about this every day. Every day. You mentioned 54,000. According to Lancet, well over a hundred thousand dead. Oh, my gosh. Buried in rubble. Buried in rubble. Over 50,000 children dead and wounded. 50. Imagine being a little kid, your arms blown off, feet blown off. Oh, you’re gonna have a wonderful life. Bombing it into ruin.

Bombing it into ruin. Oh, oh. And then you gotta swallow the crap coming out of the mouth of a little huckleberry. A little slob. The oil of nothing. I was a mark. Answer. Oh, yeah, that little clown. That’s our ambassador to Israel. God gave this land to Abraham 3,500 years ago. Hey, got sown. I don’t want to believe this fairy tale, all right? What is God got locked, Joe? That’s the only person you ever talked to, Abraham. I got to believe his fairy tale. Oh, now what they’re doing, they just announced more settlements. Like 22 more settlements.

They’ve driven out over 40,000 people out of their homes in the West Bank. Not the media. Not reported. 40,000 people. 40,000. I’m in Kingston, New York. The city like double the population here. Out of that, eight settlers. How about calling them invaders in violation of the Geneva Convention. And you in Article 242, you have no right being there. How about calling them in? No, they’re settlers. This is disgusting. What’s going on. And there’s no outrage. Oh, hey, where are all these little clown boys? You were talking about the COVID stuff before. And again, the damage of the COVID war is incalculable.

Hey, little Springsteen. Hey, Springsteen. You can’t come and hear me play unless you get a shot. No vaccines. You’re not allowed to hear me. Oh, he came out against Trump. They got sown. Where are all you little clown Kimmels and all you other jerks? How come you’re not coming out against the slaughter of the Palestinians? Where are all you artists? How can. There are no songs out there. By the way, Mike Adams, I got to put his song up. He came up with an anti war song. Yeah, one guy, Mike Adams. Where were all these big celebrities? What do you all got locked jaw? I grew up during the Vietnam War.

All these anti war songs. Not now. You know why they were anti war songs? Because we were all getting drafted back then. That’s why. Now that you’re not getting drafted, they don’t care. They are a bunch of gutless little boys and girls celebrities. Shove that word up to. You know what celebrity? Like the royal family with were royal. Your mafia murderers. Oh, and you see the little throne he was sitting on? The. The king when he was in. When he was in the UK up in Canada. Rather a little throne that they have for him. And the little.

The hat that he wears the little drag costume that he’s all dressed. Look at this freak show here. There’s an article. I gotta find this quote by Plato. Here it is. No, that’s another. Oh, here’s. This is me. 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 could live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust, said St. Thomas Aquinas. And that’s what’s going on. Where is the anger of the people? Him. If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.

Plato. And that’s. We’re living under the rules of fools. Who’s your favorite fool? I like Macron, the little cut zone with no pekka over there in France. Oh, I like Starmer, the little boy of nothing. But I like Boris Johnson before him, a little freaky cowboy that the best cartoonist in the world couldn’t come up with. Like Mertz. Look, one fool after I got. We got Trump, we had Biden, we had Bush, we had Obama, we had Clinton. One fool after another telling you what to do. Yes. One of the things that I continually harp on is that this is obviously planned.

This is how they want it to go. Because if this was sheer accident or incompetence, eventually they would make a mistake in our favor. Something would go wrong for them, but right for us. But it never does. It is a continual downward spiral. They never take a misstep when it comes to their plans. We. Which shows that this is all perfectly going. How they want. These wars, these constant senseless deaths is what they want. We have a comment here from KWD68 says wars are how Americans learn geography. And that is very sadly true. Another one from MAV 2022, it’s discussing what’s happening in Gaza, war crimes on display, and the world yawns.

Yes, there seems to be such little interest and as you said, are, you know, quote unquote elite or, you know, actors, these people that love to talk about their humanitarian work, how they want to be on the right side of history when it comes to the LGBT stuff or the trans issues. They’ll sit in there. They’ll sit and they’ll soliloquize about it over and over again about how we need to do this. It’s for the good of the children. I want to be on the right side of history. How many of them have said a thing about what’s going on In Gaza.

How many of them have brought it up even once or in passing to note it? It’s truly disgusting the level of inaction and just lack of care we see from people that are supposedly so deeply interested in the well being of the people. Like I said, where are all these little fat mouthed celebrities? Where are they? Hey De Niro, where are you? Where are you? You got a big mouth. You’re always spewing out a lot of crap. What he got locked you about this? And I say this right to their face. They’re gutless little boys and girls with bad attitudes.

Nothing. You go, go to, yeah, Google, go to, go to Cartoon News Network, cnn, go to the site. Nothing, nothing. Drudge, Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing about the slaughter going on every day. Bombing the place into total ruins. And again, shove this crap that you’re an anti Semite up your. You know what? There’s nothing to do. If I’m against Mussolini, I’m an anti Italian. If I hated Hitler, I’m anti German. Oh, talking about morons, imbeciles and little clown jerks running the show. You see that guy Randy Fine, not so fine. A little fat slob jerk over there in Florida saying that we should nuke the people in Gaza like we did in World War II.

Do you see that? I had not seen that headline. Yeah, Randy Fine. Nothing fine about him. A fat little slob. And by the way, I’ve been at this for 45 years. There’s only one thing that’s going to change it. As I see it, facts don’t mean anything to people. They don’t know what’s going on. You we were talking before about Ukraine and got rid of. This is the Trends journal back in 2014. See how happy that guy is? That’s the United States overthrow of the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine in 2014. People have no idea about that.

People have no idea. This is an article Washington driving the world to the final war. A great picture there of Obama, the Nobel piece of crap prize winner. The article is by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Treasury Secretary under Ronald Reagan. Washington concluded that Russia needed to be confronted with or distracted by problems that would leave the Russian government less confident or able to counter Washington’s aggression elsewhere. Ukraine presented the perfect opportunity for Washington to advance its hegemonic agenda. In a speech at the National Press Club last December, which was 2013, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland boasted that that Washington had invested $5 billion in non governmental organizations.

NGOs in Ukraine for the purpose to teach democracy. People have no idea how the United States overthrew that government. And we’re talking about Mertz. And you look at the COVID of the Trends Journal, how Mertz, who are the Azovsky in Ukraine? Oh, Nazis. Oh, and we’re supporting the Nazi government, Of course. Germany loves that. People have no idea. And just to make this a thousand percent clear, you see this picture over here that this is the sociolympics that’s being, that’s starting. The United States launched a campaign in March to overthrow the government. Week after week in the lead up to the sociolympics, the Western media and the government were warning Americans not to go there because there was going to be terror attacks.

So they got people to hate Russia before this happened again. This is from the Trends Journal security expert. It’s not if but when for the sociolympics terror attack. Veteran consultant Bill Rathborn. Rat crap hopes that he’s wrong about the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia, but he has more than a hunch that he’s not. The security threat is higher than it’s ever been in the history of the Olympic Games. Rathburn said, in my opinion, it’s not a matter of whether there will be some incident. It’s just a matter of how bad it’s going to be. They kept selling the fear and the hate of Russia, so now they got the people to hate it, fear it, and then what happens? They overthrow the government of Yanukovych.

And the reason they overthrew the government of Yanukovych was he made a deal, was going to make a deal with the EU and the imf. Not my language, the language of the European Union, that Ukraine was the most corrupt country in Europe. They went bust since the Soviet Union broke up. They’re going to make a deal with the IMF and the eu. Putin said, I got a better deal for you. I’m going to give you lower interest rates and I’m going to cut the price of your oil. Yanukovych said, okay, we’ll go with you. No, you won’t.

And that’s when they overthrew the government. So going back to all of this, facts don’t mean anything to people. I talk to people, adults my age, younger. They hate Russia for invading Ukraine, have no idea about what went on about the 15,000 people that the Avatars were killing in the Donbas region of Russian nationality. No idea about this. They just hate Russia. The only thing to me that’s going to change this is a Renaissance. After the black plague, some 60% of Europe was wiped out. The people were killing themselves, filthy sanitation, just like we’re killing ourselves now with all the poisons and crap and the ultra product.

Same thing, different time. The Renaissance changed it. They said in Italy, to describe the quality of their work, a la Romana at Alantika, in the manner of the Romans and the ancients, to describe the quality of their work. That was the Renaissance. It brought back quality. We need a Renaissance in America to bring back what this country used to be. When everybody in the world wanted to come here, when our ancestors, my grandparents, all wanted to come to America because this was the place to be when they were dressed up in style and grace. We need a Renaissance.

Facts don’t matter. And so that’s the only way I see it happen. You know, when I was a young guy, there was this thing called the Ringling Brothers in Bottom and Bailey Circus. It went out of business. I talk about this with your father. I said it went out of business because you don’t have to step right up, step right up. See the fat man, see the tattooed lady, see the lady with the beard. You’re out in the street everywhere. You have to pay to see it. Country’s going down in front of our eyes. We need a renaissance.

Yes. I’ve. I’ve said for a long time now that you cannot reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. Most people don’t actually think about what they believe. They simply absorb it from either the television or an authority figure that they see. They. They see someone that they trust. Tell them something and they go, well, that’s good enough for me. They said it, I believe it. And nothing you can say because you’re not the one on the television screen. You’re not the one in D.C. you’re not wherever I place my trust. You’re not there.

You’re not them. And so therefore, it doesn’t matter how many facts you present these people, it doesn’t matter how much information you provide, they are not going to change their mind because it is simply not not in their abilities to anymore. We actually have a comment from Angry Tigers Den here. He says, question for Gerald. Does he see commercial real estate bus starting a cascade effect with credit default swaps coming into play and causing a domino effect of financial disaster? Yes. And by the way, what you said, Travis, you’re 1,000% correct in how you said it and the facts you put in.

So thank you for what you’re doing. Well, thank you yeah, there’s going to be, they’re going to be defaults on these. Here’s the deal. The COVID war began five years ago. The work at home trend is real. You look up, go Google up office occupancy rate. I didn’t look at it today but last week it was 54% occupancy rate. All right. Now leases are five and 10 year leases in these big buildings. Now remember the COVID war happened five years ago. Now the leases are coming up, up. People aren’t renewing them. The commercial real is going to be defaults on a lot of loans.

Let’s go back to 2023. Not ancient history. Three banks failed. Silicon Con Man Valley bank over in Silicon Valley, First Republic and Signature. Three banks boom. Stock market went way down, gold prices went way up. There’s going to be hundreds of banks that are going to be defaulting going to go down because they’re not, they don’t have the money to cover the losses on these loans that are not going to be paid. These are facts. Let’s only go back to 2024, Midtown Manhattan, 15th Street. A building that in 2006, sulfur, over $300 million went up for auction.

$8.5 million it sold for. It’s in the middle of the block. No, you’re not going to convert these to apartments. There’s no windows on one side, no windows on the other side, no windows in the back. This big empty spaces, glass and steel. They’re non convertible. Buildings built in the last 50 years are non convertible to residential building, to residential apartments or condos. There’s going to be failures. It may happen this year I believe and it’s going to bring down the equity markets and crash the economy. It’s going to be an equivalent to the panic of 08 when they had them subprime mortgages and, and derivatives and that kind of game.

The same thing is going to happen now. Number two, the do bust shredders are born. They grow, they mature, reach old age and die. AI was only born in 2022. You don’t invest all your money in the IPOs, the IPO wannabes and all the new ones that are creating AI because the trend is only three years old. So what happened in January of this year that everybody doesn’t talk about anymore? Deep seek out of China. We don’t need those big chips. Oh we don’t need these big power plants to make those chips. Didn’t cost us a hundred million bucks to do.

Cost us only $6 million. And AI, excuse me, Deep Seek now is the most used AI in the world. What happened to Nvidia’s stock back then? Oh, it only went down 17 in one day and they lost 600 billion bucks. Oh yeah, but the stock’s back up now. Yeah. Okay, you’re right again. In tracking trends, you make connections between different fields. So let’s go back to 2000 before China got into the World Trade Organization. 10% of Chinese 18 year olds went to college back then. Today almost 70% young people are totally AI high tech addicted. And now they’re in college becoming more and more AI focused.

So you got 1.4 billion people there versus 347 million Americans. And these aren’t stupid people. But America, we’re dumbing down less people going to college. Colleges aren’t teaching as they should in the sense that I got a degree in art history, you know, some stupid crap or transgender studies, I’m not sure. So they’re going to lead in AI and they’re going to bring down. There’s going to be a dot com bust 2.0. And to make it a thousand percent clear back in 1999, the trends journal.com this we forecast the dot com bust would happen by the second quarter of 2000.

And it did. We said this when it was a quarterly in the fall. We said it would happen. The same thing happened for the same reason. The, in the Internet revolution just began in the 1990s. So they started inventing all this stupid stuff that made no sense and they overinvested in these new IPOs, IPO wannabes. And we said this thing’s gonna crash. It doesn’t make sense. And it did. Same thing is going to happen. It’s going to bring down the equity markets. It’s going to crash the economy. They’re going to lower interest rates. Oh, the data came out today.

Interest rate numbers came lower than expected. The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls. The deeper the dollar falls, the higher gold prices go. So that’s what we see coming up. Yes, the every time you mention the commercial real estate market, I get a little bit of a sinking feeling in my stomach just knowing that, you know, no type of business can take that level of hit to their profit margins and be sustainable. It doesn’t matter what line of work you were in. If you were to, of course, you know, they probably weren’t at 100% occupancy, but let’s say they were in the 80 to 90% occupancy range and they’re down, down at 50, 50%, roughly.

That is a massive, massive drop. There’s no way to eat that kind of cost. And it’s just going to be a horrifying cascade. We’ve got some comments here from Nmax. Soon you will be MKUltra into believing AI is the Oracle of truth. And you must believe. And I’m I’m kind of of the opinion that they rolled MK Ultra out to the general public with the constant fear they push on the news media, on the stories, they push through movies and television, and the number of people they put on different medications that affect their, you know, chemical balance in their brain sure seems like something that a CIA might do.

If they were impacting you directly, they’d make you watch fear porn continually and they’d give you drugs to alter your brain chemistry. But, you know, who knows? Who. Who am I to say these things? We have another. As I said, the only thing that’s going to change is a renaissance. I say in the King’s James Bible, they say that the meek shall inherit the earth. They said they misspelled it. The geeks have inherited the earth. Look at these. Look at these little jerks. Look at the little cookie boy. Look at the little peacheye. Look at the Zuckerberg.

Not a drop of boogie, not an ounce of jive in their crappy T shirts and jeans. They brought down the whole level. Everything synthesized. I want to go to. I go to a restaurant, I got here, boom, boom, boom, boom. Crap music, everything synthesized. The geeks again. Everybody walking down the street like this on their phones. You go to a bar, everybody’s on their phones like this. I got to dinner the other night and people are eating, eating and talking on their phone. Oh, yeah, you’re really enjoying your food, aren’t you? Why don’t you grow up? I’m doing business, I’m doing this.

You’re a jerk. You’re a. You’re just addicted to this crap that they addicted you to. I don’t carry a cell phone. I got an old flip phone that I barely know how to use and I only use it when I travel, and I’m not even traveling that much. I may make 20 calls in a whole year. Everybody’s addicted to this crap. One of the. And so what I’m saying is it’s. It’s going to continue to bring down society. And the only I. I gotta hear you screaming on the damn phone as you’re walking by my. All my house, my building.

I don’t want to Hear your crap. Just the level of consideration people give others has just completely diminished. They are all completely self absorbed and wrapped up in themselves to the point of the public space has become largely unbearable to be in because they are. You’re just surrounded by these people that have no concept of thinking about anyone else. Everything they do is simply about me, me, me. When I met my wife, when we went out to dinner, one of the things that I immediately noticed is that she didn’t pull out her phone at all. She was engaged in the conversation.

She didn’t, you know, pull it out to send a text or look at, you know, whatever app or website. She was actually interested in having a conversation with me. Whereas so many, you know, girls that I had gone out with, the instant they sit down, they just pull out their phone. It’s like, oh, okay, well, this obviously isn’t going to go anywhere. You know, you’re completely invested in the screen in front of you. I’m trying, you know, we’re trying to have a conversation and that is off the table. And that was one of the things I noticed is she was just.

She actually cared and can hold a conversation and so many people. And it’s not just a. That’s not just a thing about women. That is everyone. Yeah. I don’t want people to take this the wrong way. Yeah, yeah. Every time I go to a bar, every time I go, people are on their phone, they’re not talking to each other anymore. All different. All different trip. And again, it’s. It’s totally. This is the future. It’s. And that’s why I keep saying we need a renaissance. You know, when I was a young guy, I. I used to. I was the number two guy running a major trade association.

After our trade show, we put on an event for the people that exhibited. We took over the Atlantic Convention center and I put one on for with. With Ella Fitzgerald and went backstage. I introduced myself. My former wife at the time, Ella Fitzgerald, looked at her and said, you look like my goddaughter Carmen, who lives in Harlem. I took over the Superdome, did one with Dion Warwick and I got to hear this crappy music that you. But I gotta listen to Taylor Swift of beyond. What? Are you kidding me? What are you kidding me? And again, talking about a renaissance.

When the America we were it from jazz to rock and roll to Motown. And now it’s notown. It’s gone. And the whole world wanted to come to America. And now the people leaving this place. Look how infrastructure is rotting in front of Our eyes. Potholes everywhere, bridges are crap. Take. Go to the subway in New York City, it’s a night in Calcutta. Amtrak, how about AM Crap. Look at their high speed rails in China. Go to Europe and look at the crap that we have here. But a trillion dollars at a military industrial complex. Yeah, we, I was talking earlier.

We covered an article where they said, you know, there’s $20 trillion missing from the military budget over the years. That’s how much we are giving the military that they can just lose 20 trillion over time. And we don’t know where it went, we don’t know how it went. It’s gone. And you know, you’re just going to have to deal with that. $20 trillion evaporated into the ether and there’s nothing you can do about it. Yep. You know, we were talking before about Germany. These are a couple of articles. Germany to lift Ukraine aid. Germany will expand its military support to Ukraine and the two countries will start a joint program to produce long range weapons that Kiev can use against Russian targets.

Mertz said in a joint news conference with Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky in Berlin on Wednesday. You mean Zelinsky. That was a comedian. And anybody could Google it up, but Zelinsky plays piano with his penis. Go to YouTube. That’s the guy. Yeah. Now he continually cosplays as some kind of soldier, showing up in his, you know, military green T shirts and his fatigues as if he’s out there on the front lines himself and he’s taking a quick break to come address whoever he’s talking to. Yeah, and how about what’s going on in Israel? Where’s Netanyahu’s little boy? Oh, down in Florida.

Yeah. Bibi, where’d you go? What? I just said bb, where’d you go? You know? Yeah. It goes on to say Germany. Berlin recently adopted a constitutional amendment lifting limits on how much it could borrow to spend on defense. Okay. They just changed everything again. This is a Germany, as I said. You like World War I. Oh, these are the Germans, by the way, and they’re saying we have to stop the Russians. These are the Germans that killed over 25 million Russians. Launched by Operation Barbarossa. By Clint. By Clinton. By Clinton Greenberg. Hitler. What? No difference. By.

By Hitler. 25 million. John F. Kennedy’s speech to graduating students at American University. Anybody could Google it up. 1963, June. He said we should not hate the people in the Soviet Union. They suffered more than anybody in World War II. They lost their factories, their farms, their homes, the equivalent of Chicago to the east coast. He said over 20 million were killed. We need peace with Russia. His whole thing was about peace. That was June 63, July, August, September, October, November. Jackie had dead. They killed him. He was talking about peace. Now Germany’s ramping us up.

So just to make this 1000% clear, Germany threatens US states with Germany threatens US states with loss of funding. Germany would consider supporting suspension of EU funding to Slovakia and Hungary if the countries continue to oppose the block sanction policies against Russia. Chancellor Friedrich Mertz has won number two. Germany has agreed to a new $5 billion aid package for Ukraine and joint production of long range weapons systems. Russia threatens, quote, harsh response if Germany transfers Taurus missiles to Ukraine. Russia prepared to strike Germany in response to Taurus attacks. SENIOR MP Turkey and Belgium will join with drone coalition for Ukraine and Kiev.

Germany directly engaged with Russia. Levov this is the Russia’s top foreign minister. He goes, says, he says if I got it right. Mertz said at a press conference that he means to fund the production of missiles of any rage in Ukraine. Supplying German missiles is allegedly out of the question. We must delve a little deeper into that. Lavo said both of them are inflaming tensions and supporting the war. You ready? Germany is now directly engaging into this war. It is spiraling out of control over there in Europe or more than likely it is spiraling into the way these people want it.

Germany, the fact that they are sending them long range weapons again is to me co signing, just we don’t care about collateral damage. You can launch these into Russia’s heartland, you can kill Russian civilians and we will be okay with it. Now of course in any war, civilians will be caught in a bit to some extent. That’s just how it is. There will always be, you know, casualties and that is always a tragedy. But co signing these kinds of weapons and shipping them in, that is an entire another level of yet we’re ready and willing to accept these consequences.

We know that it is going to be harder to control where these land. We know that it’s going to cause more civilian casualties and we are okay with it. This is signaling in my opinion to Russia that the, you know, EU and NATO is starting to mobilize itself. We are more than willing to start killing Russian civilians in larger amounts, whatever it takes. And that is a very, very dangerous escalation. You know this, it was all war is horrible and you know, this has been a proxy war. This has been global powers fighting it out in Ukraine.

But at least it has been confined Largely to these two land areas, Russia and Ukraine. And I think people have forgotten. I think it’s been long enough that people have forgotten the horrors of the land war in Europe, how bad it was. I know for Americans. We were isolated here. We didn’t have to see it except by video. But World War II destroyed Europe. They have just barely, you know, recovered over the last, you know, 30 years to some extent. But it demolished their economies, it demolished their cities. And, you know, Americans have this kind of rosy view of World War II because, as I said, we were isolated.

We didn’t have these direct attacks on our infrastructure. We didn’t have bombs raining on us or dropping on us and destroying our buildings and our factories over and over again. We got to build up our factories, sell all the munitions and enrich ourselves off of it, and then come in late in the war or later in the war as a hero and, you know, gain, you know, credits and worship from around the globe as we stormed in and help take down Hitler and the Japanese. And that has given us this rosy glow that we seem to have been chasing with our war, foreign policy for years.

We want that back, or at least some of the American people do. We, we want that feeling of we are a world power and we’re going to save the world again. But the technology has increased to the point where we’re not isolated anymore. We’re not at a distance where we’re safe. They can launch missiles and impact us directly. At this point, we will not be shielded by distance like we were in World War II. It will be an entirely different ball game, and it will be much, much worse for us here. If the world world does spiral into a World War III scenario, it’ll be nuclear annihilation.

All this money they’re spending on weapons and defense is totally worthless. It’s like the golden dome. That crap that they’re selling. China just came out with a drone that has another 200 drones in it. And there’s one drawn, another two. Yeah, one of my books, International Bestseller Trends 2000. They brought me down to Virginia Military Institute to talk about new millennium warfare back in 2000. They do all this stuff. The ships, the planes, the boats, the tanks, they’re all worthless, all worthless, all a waste of money. It’s new millennium warfare. And again, going back to RFK, JFK’s speech at American University in June of 2019 63, he said, if we go to war against Russia of the Soviet Union, they call it back then life on Earth will be destroyed.

In 24 hours. This is 1963. We go to war again. Israel’s going to ramp up war against Iran. They go to war against Iran, there’s no way Israel is going to beat 91 million Iranians. They got 7 million Jewish people living there. And Iran is very advanced scientifically, technologically and militarily. Israel says if they lose, they go with the Samson option. S A M, S O N. Look it up, everybody. They go nuclear. They got between 200 to 400 nuclear warheads. It’ll be the end of life on earth. And again going back to the Russians and the Germans who are the first ones to beat the Germans? Oh, the, the Russians in World War II.

But you’re not allowed to say that. Yeah, the, and of course the Samson option is in reference to when Samson was brought in by, I forget who it was, I believe was the Philistines. But he knocks down the temple they’re all in, he kills himself and all of his enemies in one fell swoop. So that’s what they’re referencing there. It is this plan that if you, if they feel they are in a sufficient enough danger, they will just annihilate everyone and everything. And that is supposedly our greatest ally in the Middle East. They are continually applying pressure and making things unruly there.

We pretend like, oh yes, they’re a democracy, they’re democratic, they like to reason things out. No, they are literally sitting there on a nuclear button saying if you threaten us enough, if we feel in enough danger, we’ll annihilate everyone. And that only serves to escalate tensions. And I think that also speaks to the fact that these Muslim governments, while some of their people may be wild and terroristic, the people who are in control of them are more calm and level headed than we may like to think here in the West. We may like to paint them with this broad brush of like, oh, they’re these, these terrorist fundamentalists and I’m sure some of them are, but there are people in control there that realize we have to be a bit more cautious about this.

We simply cannot engage in these sorts of ludicrous threats. Especially knowing that the, that Israel has the backing of the United States and it’s just again, that’s our greatest ally in the Middle East. The people that are continually ratcheting up tensions that are killing children by the tens of thousands in Gaza. Yep. And we can only imagine, again, just they are indiscriminate with who they bomb and who they kill. And, and if they were to go to war with Iran, we would see the same exact thing. And since Iran has a much larger population, the number of dead would also be correspondingly larger.

And it is just horrifying that we have co. Signed and delivered them munitions and money over and over again for no. Even if we were getting something out of the deal, it would not be worth it. It would not be a moral choice to say, well now, all right, sure, they’re killing women and children, but at least we’re making money off the deal. It would still be wrong. But we’re not even getting that. We’re not even getting some, you know, the ends justify the means, you know, justification out of it. It’s just we’re sending them money and they get to do whatever they want with it.

They get to bomb whoever they want whenever they want. And our government, our, you know, elite, whatever you want to call them, will say nothing and do nothing about. Not again. They’re. They’re. They’re not elite. As it says by Plato, if you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rules of fools. That’s who they are. Fools. Yes. And again, it’s not a democratic place. It’s an apartheid state by definition. Israel, the. The Arab people don’t have the rights of the Jewish people. They’re by the laws.

So it’s an apartheid state according to Human Rights Watch and others. And again, they’re not Semites. Semites are from the. So you don’t call me an anti Semite. They’re not Semites that are running Israel. What’s Netanyahu’s real name? Milikowski. From Poland. Oh, Ben Gurion was green. These are Eastern Europeans. Semites are from the Mesopotamia region. They’re all Eastern Europeans that have been running Israel. Again, invented by The Balfour Declaration, 1917. His Majesty’s Government declares that the land in Palestine will be settled by the Jewish people and we will use our best endeavors to achieve this objective.

Yes, we have. What are you talking about? That has been. What is. What is the king over there saying? What should happen over there in. Yeah, yeah. Majesty’s government. The murderer. The audacity. I forgot the Rothschilds. I forgot the Rothschilds. Yeah. The audacity of these people. It has gone back again for as time immemorial. These people have always felt that they can do what they want. And whether it’s creating a state out of whole cloth in Israel or subjecting us here to the MRNA COVID vaccine, they will do whatever they want whenever they want. Yep. Well, I want to thank you for coming on with this, Gerald.

We’ve got about 50 seconds left and I want to remind people if you go to trendsjournal.com and use the promo code Knight, you can get the Trends Journal and it works out to be under a little bit about 250 a week and that’s less than a cup of coffee. And the amount of information you’ll receive will beat out any newspaper. Gerald works very, very hard on it and he’s been proven right over and over again when it comes to trends. So thank you again, Gerald. Thank you for setting this up and thank you for helping our listeners out with that.

And you know, God bless you, sir. I really appreciate your stance for peace and I appreciate all the things and all the ways you have worked towards it in your life. Thank you. It’s very kind of you and thank you very much. And of course, give your love to my, your dad and wishing him all the best and thank you for all that you’re doing. Oh, it is my pleasure. It is my pleasure to get to speak with you and men like you while I host the show. And I want to thank all of our listeners and viewers for tuning in this week.

I will be back Monday and I will see you all then. So God bless you all. You have a great weekend. Thank you. The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created common paths to track and control us. Their Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the Common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.

They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It’s time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
