And please go to our website, trendsjournal.com and make a donation, if you wish, to help us continue to move forward. We need, you know, whereas we don’t have the digs behind us. We’re doing it all on our own. We can’t do without you. And as you know, we’re giving you what nobody else is. So on to the markets. Woo! Yesterday wasn’t a happy day, right? Yep. Let’s see. The S&P was down over a thousand points. Excuse me. The Dow, down 2.58%.

And they were on the longest losing streak since 1974. I remember those days. Boy, inflation was skyrocketing back then. Woo! The S&P yesterday was down almost 3%. The NASDAQ was down 3.56%. So today they just kind of, they were up and then they just, it went up just a little bit on the Dow. The Dow was up how much over here? Yeah, 15.37 points, which is nothing. It’s flat. The S&P was down 0.9 and the NASDAQ was 0.10. Actually, the S&P was down 0.09. So hardly down, but flat. So the reason why is that yesterday the Fed had met.

They finished their meeting and they lowered interest rates 25 basis points, which that was the guess that they were going to do. But they said that looks like next year they’re going to only lower them two more times. And the street was betting four more times. And that’s brought down gold prices. It’s brought down Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s down what? $10,000 from where it was, from its high. Now gold is hanging around there at, what is it? $2,591. It’s still up almost $600, a little less now, since the new year began. So it’s a different wild card game going on.

And the European stocks, after the Feds announced what they were going to do, they had their worst session for five weeks. And the Bank of England is holding interest rates. We’re going to get to that in a bit. And the Asian markets, they tumbled too. And the Bank of Japan is keeping their rates on hold. So we have, it’s a new trends journal. The new edition was just out on Tuesday. And we’re writing about how the slowdown is going on around the world. It’s in our economic update. And it’s serious. So now with them keeping rates where they are, the ECB, European Central Bank, they just lowered them 25 basis points.

They were hinting they’re going to do it more. But here’s an article from the Financial Times, route of Brazilian real will worsen. So it’s again, it’s one after another. Then you look at what’s going on with the loony up in Canada. And you got the loony tunes. Oh, that little arrogant boy, that little daddy’s boy. Oh, was it Fidel Castro? No, I think it was a Pierre, Pierre Trudeau. Yeah, Trudeau. Oh, he’s in trouble now. His ratings are in the toilet. That little bastard, that little arrogant little nothing of a clown. Remember when they locked down everything up there? Remember that? Yeah.

I remember, remember the health experts they used to bring out all the defense, you know, the little arrogant little pieces of scum. They destroy the global economy. Nobody’s talking about the damage that they’ve done. So the loony’s going down, one currency after another, the euro’s going down, the dollar’s staying strong because of strong interest rates. But what’s that going to do to the economy? So our guests, I would say forecast. I don’t know where the interest rates were. They were the worst interest rates when he takes office. And I say that because by their deeds you shall know them.

And he did that back when he was president in 2018, December. Yep. What did he do? It was the worst December for the Dow since the Great Recession, 1931. He forced the feds to lower interest rates. And they did in January. Oh, and that created the repo crisis. Well, we were talking about that. So that’s what we see happening. He’s going to lower them. When he lowers them, gold will go back up again. Gold’s going to be weakened as long as they keep staying on the high interest rate track they’re on.

UK borrowing costs climb as stagflation fears hit guilt. That’s a currency worries over the stagnating UK economy and accelerating inflation are unnerving investors pushing borrowing costs to the highest premium over German debt yields since 1990. This is from the financial times. Again, one currency after another’s getting hit. And it’s not going to be stagflation. It’s going to be dragflation. And that’s what they say when they were gay. They were drags, not anymore. They’re gay. They used to be happy, not happy anymore. Anyway, so it’s dragflation. The economy is going to drag down.

Inflation is going up. And this is the bullshit going on. Again, you know, when I criticize Israel in this fucking little scumbag, call me an anti-Semite, save you shit has nothing to do with that. Because if I couldn’t stand Italy under Mussolini, does that make me anti-Italian? And I’m mentioning Mussolini because he calls the mergers, he called the mergers state and corporate powers. Fascism. Fascism. US will give P&G, PG&E, a $15 billion loan. Hey, how about giving me a loan? Oh, you’re going to give me a loan? Because the Biden administration, a bunch of pieces of shit will provide a record $15 billion, no interest, loan commitment to California utility company.

That’s a piece of fucking crap. Yep. Once upon a time, these companies were half controlled by the government and we didn’t have this shit. Oh, you want another fire? Oh, it’s a happy and Maui, huh? Stage is set for flurry of deal-making across media. This is from the toilet paper record. The people in charge of the world’s biggest media companies are setting a stage for a flurry of deal-making. Isn’t that nice? Deal-making. The bigs get bigger as the rest of us get poorer. Again, media companies, we need your support. We’re giving you it.

No media is giving you. Nobody anywhere, any place. So subscribe to the trends journal for the grand total of $2.56 a week or read the wall shit journal for $5 a day. No, no, the toilet paper record in New York Times, $4 a day. It’s Christmas time. And with the piece on earth, I launched Occupy Peace over a decade ago. Nobody’s singing about peace on earth anymore. And all these religions, they all got locked door. Oh yeah. Anyway, this is an article in the wall shit journal. Housing crisis goes global.

That’s right. The rich are getting richer. Everybody else is getting poorer and the big companies are buying up everything. Now they’re buying, you know, bill to rent houses before they were just stealing the houses of people foreclosure. Now they’re buying up new homes that were going out on the market. Now they’re building them to rent. So that’s it. Here. Now that shows you the fascism. You ready? GM plans overhaul of iconic towers in Detroit. General Motors and billionaire developer Daniel Gilbert are planning to overhaul downtown Detroit’s iconic office complex. The ventures $1.6 billion plan would demolish to blah, blah, blah, blah.

And the proposal calls for $350 million in public subsidies. Isn’t that a nice word? Public subsidies for a fucking billionaire, for a fucking billionaire. Give me more money. No, they’re stealing our fucking tax money and giving it to their buddies, the billionaires. You know, you saw what happened, what’s going on with this guy that killed that guy for United healthcare, right? People are coming out in favor of this guy because the disgust that people are having, I’m not making that up. David writing about that. Yeah. This is again from the Charlie paper. Resentment toward big business grows.

Killing of executive reveals America’s love-hate relationship with corporate power. Fucking robber barons, robber barons in there robbing our money and these scumbag politicians don’t forget to vote. Give it to them in a country near you. Don’t get upset. Let them steal your money. Be a good little boy. You’re still in kindergarten. Yeah, this just came out. The sequel of 2023’s brutal year for entertainment, media industries was not much better. In 2024, nearly 15,000 jobs were eliminated across broadcast, television, news, newspapers, on and on. We’re giving you what nobody else has given you.

It’s gone. Journalism is dead because the big zone at all, thanks to the scumbag, murderous bastard, Bill Clinton, 1996 Federal Commission, Federal Communications Act, allowed the bigs now six companies control 92% of the media. Salzburg buys buy of Brit Vic gets antitrust okay. They did 4.19 billion. Just making that clear how the bigs keep getting bigger. And then on to the genocidal war that the American government supports, the Israeli war. Israel sets fire to intensive care unit in Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza. Isn’t that nice? They can do anything they want.

Let’s see, what else? Oh, this is from times of Israel. Israel strikes killed 20 people. That was on Wednesday. Today, Israel strikes have killed 41 Palestinians on Thursday. 41, 21, 20, 61. When one Israeli is killed or whatever, oh, it’s a big deal. We got to free the hostages, but we could kill over 45,000. And the numbers go up much higher than that, over 100,000. Over 120,000 seriously wounded. 11,000 Palestinians missing. And no outrage. And all of these bullshit religions that are celebrating the birth of Christ, the prince of peace, they got lockjaw.

They’re gutless little nobodies. Except, of course, to the universal church of freedom, peace, and justice. We’re out there. We hold peace rallies. We’re doing what we can. So donate to us. It’s Christmas time if you believe in the prince of peace or any kind of peace, because the people in charge are just pieces of shit. And what else do we have? This is the kind of crap from the Wall Street Journal headline. Israel seeks longer control over security across border. Isn’t that nice? How about Israel stealing more fucking land? Yeah. Oh, Christ was born in Bethlehem? No, he wasn’t.

He was born in the Atlantic? Yep. Stealing more. Defense minister, defense minister says forces who remain in Gaza and Syria buffer zones. Isn’t that nice, huh? And onto some other news, just to show you how war is the way of the world. And here we are, everybody celebrating Christmas. It believes that Christians celebrating Christmas. Denmark acts as defense funding plan made rising security fears. Denmark, this is from Financial Times, will have to rip up a five-year funding plan for defense only eight months after it was agreed. With the prime minister admitting her country, we’ll need to spend more because of growing European security risks.

How fucking stupid. Little Denmark security risks. How about peace? Stealing more money for the military industrial complex. Oh, yeah. When we go to war, we’re going to fight. You’re going to fucking get wiped out. Look at the stupidity of this. Look at the ignorance of this. More money for war, not a penny for peace. In Trump orbit, a clash of ideas to curb obesity. And this is from the Turner paper. They go, for Robert Kennedy Jr., the activist whom President Donald Trump will nominate to serve as the secretary of health and human services, the solution to obesity, now at 40 percent of the world.

Quote, the first line of response of response should be lifestyle. He told Jim Kramer on December 12th interview. Yep. But not according to Musk. Musk said that this is what they write. Nothing would do more to improve the health, lifespan, and quality of life for Americans than making GLP inhibitors super low cost to the public. He wrote on X referring to the new class of drugs that cause weight loss, including Ozimpic. Nothing else is even close. Totally disagree. Totally disagree. I agree with RFK Jr. 100 percent. All right. This is I know this is going to be very difficult and we have to analyze it and understand it.

Stop eating the shit. Okay. Stop eating shit. Oh, no, it’s ultra processed food. It’s not shit. And again, first book I worked on back in the 1980s, natural healing. I have an honorary doctorate from the National University Health Sciences for the work I’ve done in integrative and complementary medicine. You know, there’s a lot of side effects coming from this stuff that are now being reported. These are zippics and other things. How about getting in good health? Exercising. Stop eating shit. Anyway, what else? Oh, I got a a article. Confidence in the U.S.

justice system plummets. Yep, there’s a Gallup poll. Between 2020 and 2024, confidence in the judicial system in the United States dropped 24 percent at 35 percent from 59 percent. So only 35 percent of the people believe in the judicial system. Again, prosecution to the fullest for we, the plantation workers of slave land, yeah, and a slap on the wrist. But big criminals. Oh, JPMorgan Chase by felonies. Hey, see Jamie Diamond go. How about all these how about all these scams from these big banksters and hedge funds and all the other ones. And all they do is pay a fine, a fine of nothing.

Nobody goes to jail. Hello. What do I do? You’re a light on you. The back of the car over there and the license plate was off. Where were you? How many drinks did you have? Stand on your head. Repeat the alphabet backwards. You’re zero point zero zero one percent over the bullshit number we made. You’re going to jail. Can’t understand what the hell hate the court system. It’s owned by the bigs. Yeah, another stupid one. Rear car seatbelt alarms to be required by 2027. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of a bunch of pieces of fucking scumbag, bureaucrats.

We don’t need a fucking highway traffic safety administration. I hope the Trump administration gets rid of that one. We cry in new vehicles to sound a warning if backseat passengers don’t use their seatbelts. I got to tell you, I drive a 1994 Audi Cabriolet. I hate these new cars. All this stupid electronic fucking bullshit. Oh, and it would have busts. It costs you a fortune to get fixed. Stupid fucking shit. Hey, man. Remember when I used to roll down the windows? Oh, oh, the back of the trunk goes up automatically. Where you don’t lift it anymore? Stupid and all of these LED lights.

They are the worst fucking thing. Listen, the older you get, the harder it is to see at night. And now you got these things flashing in your eyes, the fucking scumbags that have been allowed to do that with these LED lights. Oh, oh, I know who. Oh, I know who. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, bureaucratic scumbags, little fucks who can’t get a job in the real world, suck into the political system and become the most arrogant pieces of shit on earth. Right below the politicians. So there you got it. So anyway, again, as you well know, you have a Christmas gift to somebody that feels the same way we do.

You might want to get them a Merry Christmas t-shirt. You go to trendsjournal.com, go to shop, and here it is. Be fair to Bob. And don’t forget to tune in yesterday for Cilenti and the judge, a great one about the drones. By the way, the judge came out with that article the same time we came out with this cover of the Trends Journal without each of us knowing what we were going to do. Drone hysteria. The Martians are coming. Or is it Uncle Sam’s War of the World? Great, great. His insights are terrific. He has great guests on judging freedom, his site.

And again, they’re not telling us what’s going on. These drones aren’t only in Jersey. They’re around here too, right down here in Newberg, near the airport over there. You’ve got to close down the airport. They’re all over the place. They’re not telling us what’s going on. And again, this Middle East thing is really ramping up at a whole level beyond anybody would ever thought. With the overthrow of Assad in Syria, and the group coming in now, wonderful. And what Israel is doing, bombs away. They bombed it over 500 times, wiping out bullets, military equipment, sites, et cetera.

And more talk about ramping up war against Iran. So it’s a guessing game at this time of when it’s going to happen, but it’s not going to stop. And again, you saw what happened. They assassinated that Russian general. That’s going to ramp up the Ukraine war. So there are a lot of wild cards out there, and these are wild times. So please do what you can.
