➡ The text discusses various global issues, including Germany’s continued arms support to Israel, the rise in shoplifting incidents since the COVID-19 lockdowns, Iran’s rejection of a U.S. proposal on uranium enrichment, and the influence of big donors in politics. It also mentions the modernization of Germany’s armed forces, the development of fighter jets, and the potential for high-tech warfare. The author criticizes these developments, arguing they only benefit the wealthy and powerful, while causing harm to ordinary people.

Hello, everybody. This is Gerald Cilenti, and it’s Thursday, June 5th, 2025. And another wild trip in the world, day after day. Never seen anything like this. It makes me sad. I got to write about this and read about it every day, particularly the slaughter of the Palestinian people. And again, hardly doing anything about it around the world to stop it. Anyway, on to the markets. The Dow. Let’s see. It was down a little bit, and a lot going on between Trump and Musk. They’re calling each other out. And what happened to Tesla’s stocks today? They were down only 14% after President Donald Trump said he was, quote, very disappointed, and CEO Elon Musk.

Musk responded and said that post on X without me, Trump would have lost the election. So there’s a feud going on, and it ain’t good. And Trump would call Musk crazy and signal that he might cut his company’s government contracts. Yep. And then what else? The labor market numbers. A whole article in your Trends Journal this week about it. Before the numbers came out, great by Gregory Manarino, the numbers stink, and the jobs that are being created, as we’ve been writing in Manarino, agrees with us. The jobs that are being created are low pay. They’re in the health care sector, service sector, retail, restaurants, paying nothing.

Hospitality sector. So the people of slave land here are getting poorer. And as we note in the Trends Journal, the millionaires and billionaires, multi-millionaires, are all getting richer in slave land here. We have up at their heads, 2.0 coming around. What else? Let’s see, the Dow dropped 128 points, and the NASDAQ lost almost 1%. The S&P fell 0.6%. The labor market. Jobless claims. The last week came in at nearly 250,000. It’s an increase of about 8,000 from the week before. And what else? That comes from the way CNBC wrote it. A day after an estimate of private sector payrolls rose by just 37,000 jobs in May.

They expected the Dow, the street 110,000 jobs. So here’s the numbers. Construction spending fell in April. Factory orders fell more than expected. Private sector hiring loses steam. Service sector activity declines. All right? And it’s global. In Asia, factory output is slowing. Then we heard the Fed head yesterday. The beige book reports sites declining growth, rising prices, and slow hiring. We’re going to go into dragflation, declining economic growth, and rising inflation. And talking about inflation, again, you go to shadow stats, the inflation numbers are way higher than what they’re producing, and this is from the Wall Street Journal.

You ready? Today. Doubts raised on accuracy of recent inflation data. They’re firing a lot of people in this doge thing, and they were doing a shitty job before, and they’re doing a lousy job now. They’re guessing prices. They’re guessing. So this is serious. And what had we been saying in the Trends Journal now since Trump got elected, that when he gets into office, he’s going to force the Fed to lower interest rates. That’s right. He did it before, and he’ll do it again. Again, he did it back in 2018 when the Dow had its worst December since the Great Depression.

The Fed had drone power, came in January, but lowered interest rates. So now, in the article, Trump says too late power must lower interest rates after weak ADP job. ADP number out, too late power must lower the rate. Trump put on his social media, truth social media. How about bullshit social media? Again, they’re going to lower interest rates. The lower interest rates go, the death of the dollar has already begun. The dollar again, the dollar is going down week after week after week. It’ll go down lower. The world has had enough of the United States geopolitical and socio economic hegemony.

They want to get rid of the dollar. So the dollar interest rates go down, the dollar goes down, inflation goes up and gold prices go up. It’s in a 102,000 range, 102,000 range. And Brent crude still hanging in there at $65 a barrel, but we’ll talk more about that. Germany is buying electric cars, but not Tesla. Tesla. Musk has hurt himself by doing what he’s done, supporting Trump, and now they’re on the outs with each other. And Musk doesn’t need Trump. And Trump doesn’t need Musk. And I agree with him. Musk helped Trump get elected, unquestionably.

And again, like Trump, hate Trump, for him against, it’s what is, it’s not what you want. Anyway, that’s the way we see it, or the way I see it. You ready? Meta is going nuclear to power its AI plants. Oh, nuclear power plants, huh? Yeah. Hey, but Iran can’t have any nuclear power plants. They’re not allowed to. But hey, Meta and anybody else, Israel, they could build all they want. Meta aims to create ads fully through AI. Yep. AI, we own you. That’s the way it is. That’s the future. And then you read an article, Godfather of AI is the latest models allying to users.

That’s the story in the Financial Times. Again, it’s a lie. We have an article that’s coming out. When we write an article, and I asked my assistant, put it into chat. You can’t speak like that. That’s not right. No, no, you can’t do that. You have to do it like this. Yep. AI, we own you. As I said, they got it wrong in the King’s James Bible. The meek have not inherited the earth. The geeks have. Little geeks of nothing. Little ballers, ugly pieces of synthetic shit. Right there for everybody to swallow. And again, subscribe to the Trends Journal.

The more subscribers we have, the more people will find the truth. And we’re helping you prepare, prevail, and prosper like no other magazine in the world for the grand total of about $2.59 a week. Nothing. So we’re giving you everything. You ready? More office space is being removed and added for the first time in at least 25 years CNBC. Oh, no kidding. You mean the office building bus that we’ve been warning about? Oh, they’re converting them. No, a lot of them can’t be converted. The buildings built within the last 50 years are not convertible to residential.

They’re demolishing them. It’s not coming back. Not coming back. And then one after another. So no fee to buy US drug maker. Snowflake to buy startup. Private equity back. Data site buys market intelligence company grata. Chart industries merge with closer. One after another. Week after week, we put it in the Trends Journal. The big’s getting bigger. And we also have articles in the Trends Journal. You’re not going to find any place else. All the businesses that are going out of business that they’re not talking about. All the jobs that are being lost that they’re not talking about.

And high paying jobs. And across the spectrum. We’ve been doing 100 weeks, well over, like 150 weeks, giving you this. So if you want the facts and not the bullshit, you subscribe to the Trends Journal. So this is from antiwar.com. Israel forces killed 95 Palestinians in Gaza in the last 24 hours. And nobody gives a shit. Israeli forces have killed a wounded over 600 people at aid centers. In the past week. Israel forces Gazans to Gazans south to live in unsanitary and dangerous sliver of land. Isn’t that nice? Genocide in front of everybody’s eyes and no outrage.

No outrage. Matter of fact, not only no outrage. The United States forms a minority of one in blocking a UN Security Council resolution demanding a permanent ceasefire to Gaza and favoring a complete Israeli withdrawal from the coastal sliver. That is in tatters for some 20 months of a genocidal Israel war. The resolution was put to a vote on Wednesday calling for an immediate unconditional and permanent ceasefire at the UN. The American veto went up against affirmative votes by all of the council’s other members, namely 14 countries. But not the United States. Keep that genocide going. Keep that genocide going.

And we’re stealing your money. You shithead taxpayers, we’re giving the money to Israel with bombs and bullets and planes to keep the slaughter going. So you don’t do anything. You don’t fight against this. Because if we do, we’ll get you the fuck out of this country. Or maybe we’ll blow your brains out. How about that? Where’s the outrage? Look what they’re doing to these people in front of everybody’s eyes. And the United States vetoes a ceasefire. Remember the bullshit ceasefire crap that was coming out last week? Oh, they’re coming with Witkov Cherkov, Witkov Fuckoff. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. They made a deal. No, they didn’t. They said they want a permanent ceasefire. Oh, how about Israel breaking the ceasefire in March and keeping the slaughter going? Broken. They want a permanent ceasefire. No, you can’t have a permanent ceasefire. Just give the rest of the hostages back that we really don’t give a fuck about. But bring them back, and then we’re going to ramp up the war again, as soon as we get back what we want. Yep. That toll rises as Israel bombs Gaza Strip. That’s, yep. This is the crap coming from the U.S.

ambassador, Dottie Shea. Quote, the United States has been clear. We would not support any measure that fails to condemn Hamas and does not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza. Yep. No cease, permanent ceasefire. And, Heil Hitler, you know, the Germans, they like this. They like this. They could go to the Holocaust. They only killed, yeah. And what about the Operation Barbarossa, when they killed 25 million, over 25 million Russians? They like this too. This is from Middle East Monitor. Germany vows to continue sending arms to Israel. German foreign minister, Johann, wonderful, what a piece of shit.

Pledged additional arms deliveries to Israel on Wednesday. Yep. Germany will continue to support the state of Israel, including with arms deliveries. He said, yep. Oh, the Green Party supports it too. Green Party. How about Howard Cullen Party? Disgusting. Approved exports include a broad range of military equipment, including weapons, systems, ammunition, radar and communication devices. And Heil Mertz, you cover your trenches journal, right? Yeah. Like World War I and World War II, Germany ramping up defense for World War III. Heil Mertz. The article goes on, this is from the Financial Times, that the initiatives come in addition to a massive debt-funded public spending plan of more than $1 trillion to modernize Germany’s armed forces.

Modernize their trillion dollars, and now he’s going to get big corporations, $46 billion worth of tax breaks so that bigs could get richer. He’s going to Trump way. Again, the facts. Trump’s tax cuts of 2017, according to the tax policy center, 64% got all the benefits. EU clears joint venture to develop fighter jets. Isn’t that nice? Another Financial Times article. Fighter jets. All this money they’re spending on defense, totally wasteful. New millennium warfare. You’re not going to get any of this stuff. It’s going to be nuclear annihilation, drone, high-tech warfare. This is a lot of bullshit that’s only enriching their buddies in a military industrial complex.

And keeping war going. No peace. You’re not allowed to talk about peace. You’re a piece of shit if you talk about peace. Nationwide coordinated retail crime crackdown results in hundreds of arrests, authorities say. This is a CNBC article. They go on to say, Retailers reported a 93% more shoplifting incidents on average in 2023 compared to 2019. Okay. When the COVID war broke out and they locked down everything and destroyed the lives and livelihoods of billions of people around the planet, I said when people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.

And they’ve lost it. It’s a whole different world. Nobody talks about this. Nobody talks about it. It wasn’t a pandemic. It was a lockdown brought to you by politicians. Again, the World Health Organization called it a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Remember, it breaks out in January 2020. The Chinese Lunar New Year, the year they’re at. January, February, March, 4,219 people died at 8 billion. And they call it a pandemic. This thing, the damage is done is incalculable. Incalculable. Yup. Ah. Iran’s leader rejects offer for U.S. deal. Iran’s supreme leader effectively rejected a U.S. proposal that allows temporary uranium enrichment in the country before ending it completely.

Yup. You’re not allowed to enrich uranium. Oh wait, if Tesla’s building nuclear plants, if only nuclear plants, oh, you’re not allowed to. Remember, just as I said, the ceasefire talks that they were promoting were bullshit. I said the Iran deal was bullshit from the beginning. And they’re using this as an excuse to accelerate the war against Iran, and that’s exactly what’s happening. And Netanyahu’s going to expand it, and the United States is going to support it. And it’s going to be devastating. Devastating. Again, 91 million Iranians versus 7 million Jewish people in Israel. Iran is very advanced scientifically, militarily, and technologically.

But again, Israel says if they lose, they go with the Samsung option, S-A-N-S-O-N. Yup. They go nuclear. Oh, they’re allowed to have nuclear weapons, by the way. They got between 200 to 400. And a couple of articles here of interest, and this one’s in the toilet paper. Excuse me, the Wall Street Journal. Big inaugural donors read benefits in D.C. Yup. Remember, this is Wall Street Journal saying this. Bitcoin goes all in on MAGA and make America great again, shedding its libertarian slant again. As we said, when Trump got into office, that’s in the Wall Street Journal.

It’s all about money. As you say, money talks, bullshit works, and the money’s talking. It’s talking loud and clear for everybody to hear. All the people that donated, a lot of them, loaded them and donated, one after another, got breaks already from the government. They talk about Pilgrim’s Pride. Pilgrim’s Pride, yup. Five million dollars they got. And in April, the Brazilian parent company, JBS, received government approval for U.S. stock listing that it had long sought. And it goes on and on. And with the Bitcoin, same thing. We’re very bullish on it. You know, it’s a little down now, but it’s still way up there.
