Time Text
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com and today we have one of my favorite people Gerald Salenti from Trends Journal joins us and of course he is the man when it comes to analyzing the geopolitical and financial situation in America and the world and helping people navigate all of that with their assets intact through his publication Trends Journal which we'll talk about in a minute.
Welcome to the show Gerald.
It's always an honor to have you on.
Oh, and it's always an honor to be on with you.
All the great work that you've been doing over the years and how you stand up for the rights of people and life, liberty, and a word that you're not allowed to say anymore, the pursuit of happiness.
Happiness has become a dirty word, you know, so thank you.
You know, I'm a real jazz fan, and you go back to the Great Depression.
The Great Depression, it's swing time.
It's again, happy days are here again, you know, on the sunny side of the street.
Even how bad it was, the Great Depression, the vibe, the style, the grace was really, really high.
And now it's just one big crap show.
Yeah.
Yeah, I see that.
With just the collapsing cities in America, I was looking at this and realizing that America, at least in the blue cities for sure, is about to become a third world nation.
Kind of like a Haiti collapse scenario.
And then recently I've interviewed several people who live in Russia and they tell me, The cities are clean.
They're safe.
One of them has a 15-year-old niece who walks home at night in the middle of St.
Petersburg.
There's no risk.
I'm like, whoa, you wouldn't do that in America.
Not a chance.
It's crazy.
I'm born at the perfect time and in the perfect place.
1946.
Right after World War II, the spirit is at the height.
And I'm born in the Bronx, born to be free.
We're kids.
I'm going outside like, you know, 7 o'clock in the morning, playing in the streets, you know?
And I'm a little kid.
And we used to play in the streets.
Their parents never, never worried about where we were going and what we were doing.
And now you go take the subway, walk down the street in New York, get stabbed, get hit in the head.
It's all there.
The subways are a night in Calcutta.
The whole country's gone down the crapper.
Because the reason why is we have a bunch of crap heads running our country.
So then the extension of that is going to be eventually...
A debt collapse.
Talk to us about, you know, as you put together the Trends Journal, you have your finger on the pulse of what's happening with money printing, global de-dollarization, the rise of bricks, and so on.
What are you seeing, since we spoke last, about a month ago, what are you seeing new that sets off alarm bells?
That the mainstream media is now admitting to the debt level, and you have the The people like Dalio and Jamie Dimon coming out and saying how bad this is and how much worse it could get.
The reality is hitting the street.
So here's the story.
As we're speaking today, the Dow is down over 600 points.
Gold took a hit.
It's down 100 bucks from its high.
But it's still, you know, in the very high range, it's up, you know, what, about 14%, 15% since the start of the year.
So it's still doing very, very well, and it's just the beginning of it.
And again, one of our top trends was a golden year for gold.
And again, gold is up now well over $300 an ounce since we made that forecast.
So the reality is that you're seeing the central banks buying up gold at record levels because they know how bad the situation is.
So as the economy...
And again, they're even now talking about, quote, stagflation.
It's not going to be stagflation.
It's going to be dragflation.
The economies are going to go down and inflation is going to keep staying higher.
So what's going to happen, again, putting all the trends together that nobody's talking about, but again, one of our top trends for 2024, is the banks are going to go bust.
The value of commercial real estate has fallen 20% this year.
Wow.
And that's just the beginning.
Yes.
Barely reported.
You're talking about the problems going on in people living in these different cities.
How about San Francisco?
Yeah, I left my heart in San Francisco.
You sure did.
You have, again, not my numbers, the factual numbers.
Your office vacancy rate, meaning nobody in them, over 36% vacant.
Your office vacancy rate in New York City, 23%.
That's extraordinary.
And so, isn't it all these medium-sized banks also have exposure to these commercial real estate loans, right?
Large, medium, and small.
Mostly medium and small.
Wow.
And the large ones do, too.
Let's go back to about a year ago, a little over a year ago.
The Silicon Con Man Valley Bank went bust.
First Republic's signature, they went out.
Look what happened to the equity markets when three banks went bust and where gold prices spiked.
Now you're looking at, at the lowest level, and this is Fed numbers, 30 banks.
30 banks are in danger because of the defaults on the loans in commercial office buildings.
Your office vacancy, occupancy rate, meaning people going back to work.
Again, not my numbers.
You can look them up.
Castle Systems with a K. 51%.
So now you've got people working from home.
They don't want to commute an hour and a half each way.
The guy that has a firm that has 10 floors of a building, the people are in cubicles anyway.
You don't see them.
Yeah, stay home.
I don't need all this space.
You're going to be seeing one default after another.
Now let's go back and put it all together.
The COVID war caused this.
When those slimy little boys, like the arrogant, arrogant clown boy, Gavin Grusome Newsome.
Oh, don't you know who my daddy was?
My daddy worked for the Getty Gang.
He was a lawyer.
Don't you know who I am?
I'm a nobody with a bad attitude that'll tell you what to do.
Close down your business.
Get back in your house.
You can't go out to the beach.
Well, I'm dining at the French Laundry at $100 a plate.
Excuse me, $400.
They destroyed the office building real estate and REITs.
Now let's go back before that little piece of crap that I call it to his face did this.
You know what your office vacancy rate in San Francisco was?
No.
3.5% in 2019.
Now it's over 36%.
Wow.
Well, didn't Newsom just say recently that they desperately have to cut government expenditures because they're now facing a massive deficit?
And also, all the earners are fleeing California.
If you earn money, if you produce something, why would you stay there and get taxed to death?
Again, now it damages this gun.
And now let's go back to The banks, to fight the COVID war, they pumped in countless trillions of dollars of fake money backed by nothing and printed on nothing, put interest rates down to zero.
Now let's go back to the banks going bust.
What did they do when all that money flooded into the banks during the beginning of the COVID war?
They bought treasuries, right?
Right.
And what were interest rates at zero?
Yep.
Yep.
So now they don't have the money to make the payments on the defaults on these buildings.
And there's going to be one after another.
The mainstream media is not reporting on this.
Now the numbers, again, at least 30 banks are in trouble according to the feds.
Other numbers I've seen are almost 300, 282.
But it seems like this is also part of a plan to have the JP Morgans consolidate and gobble up all these smaller banks so we end up with, you know, six or seven government-controlled, globalist-run banks that control all the gateways, all the on-ramps and off-ramps, and probably then cooperate with a CBDC of some kind.
Is that where you think this is headed?
Oh, it's definitely going to be added.
And again, you know, you keep going back.
You know, you had these slimeball politicians, Jimmy Carter, making...
There was no interstate banking.
It was intrastate.
The Bank of America was in California.
And again, you're talking about the big banks getting bigger.
Then what happened during the financial crisis brought to you by the bankster bandits.
Hey, you don't have a job.
You're deep in debt.
Don't worry about it.
Sign over here.
You got a subprime mortgage.
Remember that one?
Yeah, right.
$29 trillion the Federal Reserve dumped into the big bankster bandits to bail them out as the other banks went down.
So now what you're saying is 100% true, but it's even at a bigger level than that when you look at this week's Trends Journal.
We are nothing more than the plantation workers of Slavelandia.
It's Robert Barron's 2.0.
Exactly.
Young guy, there were no hedge funds.
There were no private equity groups.
There were no venture capitalists that owned everything.
Again, they did away with the antitrust laws.
There were grocery stores, hardware stores, stationary stores, drug stores.
Now they're all chains.
That's right.
That's right.
And everybody saw Red Lobster just declared bankruptcy, shutting down nationwide, and there's a lot more of that going on.
So there's going to be even more excess commercial real estate, commercial buildings that are vacant.
Yes.
Real quickly, before we go on, TrendsJournal.com is the website, and I understand you have extended a discount code to our audience.
The discount code is Ranger, I believe.
How much is the discount on the subscription?
At 10%.
It's the grand total of subscribing to the magazine through you would cost them $2.50 a week.
Ha ha ha!
That's like a rounding error.
I mean, that's nothing.
We cover the world.
Again, I'm not bragging.
If anybody could show us a magazine that gives you geopolitical and socioeconomic trends analysis and trend forecasts like us, let me see it.
Nothing exists.
The Wall Street Journal I now call the Wall Shit Journal.
The New York Times, they call it the toilet paper of record.
They call it the paper record.
I've got to read this stuff.
I'm looking to the Wall Street Journal for financial data.
I need data.
It hardly exists anymore.
I just told my assistant before I went on the air, I said, you know, from today's Wall Street Journal, we only got two trend-worthy stories.
And the New York Times today didn't get one.
Wow.
Because journalism is dead.
They killed it.
And so what we're doing is we're giving the people what they need to know and what the world is going on.
And the motto is think for yourself.
You know, we give you our trend analysis and forecast, but you do what you want.
But journalism is dead.
And again, for example, the Israel war going on.
We subscribe, pay money to go to Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper.
Don't have to pay to it, but we go to New York, the Times of Israel and Jerusalem Post.
I want to know what's going on coming from them.
We got to know.
But we also go to IRNA, ISNA, Tehran Times.
We want to know what they're saying in Iran.
We go all over the world.
We go to Al Jazeera.
We go to all the world's tasks.
We go everywhere.
We want to hear what they're all saying.
So then we give you our trend analysis and trend forecast.
It's not skewed.
But the American media has gone down.
It's heartbreaking.
It's heartbreaking to see what's happened.
Yeah, in fact, I have to ask for your reaction.
Did you see that Netanyahu said that charging me with an arrest warrant would be like issuing an arrest warrant for George Bush over 9-11?
Did you see that?
And my answer is like, yes!
You got it.
Yeah.
Can we have two for one, you know?
Yeah, again, the guy that lied us into the...
How about the guy that lied us into the Iraq War?
Exactly.
Yeah.
And again, you know, one of my friends, you know, I launched the Movement Occupy Peace over a decade ago, and one of my speakers at a recent rally was Phil Giraldi.
Oh, great.
Yes.
And, you know, Phil Giraldi was a former top, top CIA guy that goes into George Bush's office, shows him the papers and said, Mr.
President, there are no weapons of mass destruction.
In Iraq.
Bush told Giraldi to leave.
And Giraldi, being the real man that he is, quit.
Wow, he wasn't willing to participate in the lie.
No.
So, yeah, Netanyahu, he's a murderous little bastard, you know.
I mean, my God.
You know, people have no clue what's going on, you know.
But that's...
No, I agree with you, but that's the importance of your publication.
Let me just ask one more clarifying question.
So when people subscribe, then they get it once a week electronically, correct?
Yes.
Okay.
And then do you have a way that people can access back issues?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
They get all the back issues.
We go way back.
So if they subscribe today, they get access to all the back issues?
Yeah.
And again, it's a weekly.
This week was over 200 pages.
Wow.
And no ads.
Nobody tells us what to do.
And, again, people, I can't read too much.
You read what you want.
It's a magazine.
You want to read about what's going on in geopolitics.
You want to know what's going on in high-tech science.
You want to know what's going on in AI. You want to know what's going on in technocracy.
Matter of fact, one of the guys, the top guy who writes our technocracy, Joe Duran, he just came out with a new book, The Synthetic Devolution.
Oh, wow.
So, I mean, we're on top of everything.
And so we're giving them all we can give them because I've been at this for 44 years.
These are the most dangerous times of my life.
I'm heartbroken.
I'm heartbroken to see the decline of civilization in front of my eyes.
Well, that's exactly where I find myself as well.
I mean, the America that you knew and that I knew as we were growing up, it's gone.
And because I remember as a child, you know, you always felt you had a sense of optimism about the future.
You thought that there were adults in charge of the future and that they had the best interests of America in mind and that things would just get better and better.
That's gone.
And you know who's thinking that right now, that things are going to get better and better?
It's the BRICS nations.
Yep.
I mean, talk to us about BRICS, what you know about the timetable, how long is it going to take for them to roll that out?
I mean, we saw Putin announcing that in trade with China, they're now 90% national currencies, not dollar currencies.
So that's huge.
But a lot of that is even going to go over to BRICS currencies at some point.
What...
What do you know about the timeline?
The timeline is a tough one to come out with the exact numbers, but here's how it goes.
There's going to be a point, regardless of what they're saying, that they're going to lower interest rates in the run-up to the presidential reality show, because that's all it is.
It's a freak show.
They do it all the time in the run-up to the election to boost the economy up.
And when Interest rates go down.
The dollar is going to go down.
The dollar is only strong because of the high interest rates.
They're lowering interest rates mostly around the world.
They're doing it because the economies are slowing down and they've got to lower the interest rates.
The United States, they're a member of the team.
They're not going to keep the interest rates high because as these other countries are lowering their interest rates...
And the dollar is going to keep getting stronger.
It's going to cost them more to buy commodities because many commodities are dollar-based.
So the United States is going to lower interest rates.
When the United States lowers interest rates, the dollar goes down.
Oh, and gold prices go up.
Because it's cheaper to buy gold because your currency value went up.
It's going to be the beginning of the death of the dollar.
Now what's going on, too, because you put the big picture together, is all the sanctions, again, like them, dislike them.
Again, we don't take positions on what we like or dislike.
We say what it is.
The sanctions that America is putting on China, the trade war.
Look what happened when the United States...
And its allies put all those sanctions on Russia when the Ukraine war began in February of 2022.
Inflation skyrocketed.
Companies pulled out of Russia left and right.
And Biden said Putin's going to pay the price.
As we used to say in the Bronx, bullshit has its own sound.
They didn't pay the price.
We said Russia is going to become more self-sufficient.
They don't need all these foreign companies in there.
The people will take over because Russia has most of the human and natural resources they need to be self-sufficient.
That's right.
And the sanctions forced Russian capital to be reinvested in Russia, which has actually then flourished to the point where Russia is leading in military output, industrial output, investment domestically, and it's stronger than ever.
Yeah, the GDP went way up.
Now, the same thing is going to happen with China.
I mean, you don't have to be good at math to figure this out.
They got 1.4 billion people.
So if the 1.4 billion people are buying made in China, the corporations, the businesses, the manufacturers are going to do very well.
And I would add to that, Gerald, if you don't mind me interrupting, but China also, the Chinese people, and remember for our audience, I'm married to a Taiwanese woman, ethnically Chinese, and I speak Mandarin, and I lived in Taiwan.
The Chinese people are very intelligent and capable engineers, scientists.
And right now, when you look at the Chinese educational system, and I'm not endorsing the policies of communism or the government or anything like that, but I'm just saying, in terms of the hard sciences, they're graduating like an order of magnitude, more scientists and physicists and engineers than is the West.
I mean, who's going to build tomorrow's electronics and bridges and aerospace innovations?
It's going to be the Chinese and the Russians.
Yep.
And again, look, as you said, the Russians, you know, their military operations, you know, they're going to keep expanding as America keeps going down.
China's naval forces, you know, bigger than America's.
Oh, they're huge.
And then going back to what you're saying, look at the idiocy in this country with the school system.
It's a joke.
It's a bad joke.
Again, look at the numbers coming out about all the college grads that can't get jobs.
As a matter of fact, major story, it keeps coming out over and over again.
They're having trouble, and the jobs, again, the immigration issue.
They're letting the immigrants come in because America only has low-pay jobs.
So when they're saying that the job numbers are going up, where are the jobs being created?
Are they being created in the service sector, in health services?
They pay very low money.
Go to all of the chains and they have signs on the doors, help wanted, help wanted.
Because this is better than the plantation system where you had to house and feed them.
All you got to do is give them enough money to get the hell out of here and come back tomorrow.
You know, so this this is what's going on.
So the jobs being created are very low paying.
And China and, you know, Russia.
People should go back and listen to John F. Kennedy's speech.
In June of 1963.
At American University.
Again, this is June.
July, August, September, October, November.
Jack, you're dead.
Right?
It's all about peace.
And he said, we should not hate the people in the Soviet Union.
More of them suffered during World War II than any other nation.
He said, Their factories, their farms, their homes were destroyed.
The equivalent of Chicago East.
He said no nation suffered more than they did.
He said these are very fine people.
They're intellectually, scientifically, culturally advanced.
He also said that if we go to a nuclear war with them, this is 1963...
That life on earth will be destroyed in 24 hours.
He said over 20 million Russians were killed.
The number is now over 25 million.
Going back.
These are very advanced people.
Going back to the BRICS. China.
India.
Russia.
Brazil and all the other ones coming in.
They're going to be as self-sufficient as they can and do trade with what they need.
Not for the best price, but for what they don't have.
And that's what's different.
And that's what you're going to see more and more self-sufficient countries And Bricks Uniting, which is going to bring down the United States and Europe.
Europe is, by the way, they're opposed to the sanctions that the United States is putting on China because they need to do business in China.
You would think that Germany would have realized this.
Many years ago, that if they allow their, quote, ally, the United States, to dictate policy and destroy the Nord Stream pipelines, that Germany's future is gone.
I mean, Germany's going to collapse into mostly an agricultural country.
I mean, that's underway.
way.
But you hit upon something really important there, Gerald, and that is how these other nations, many of these nations, such as Russia, India, China, and so on, there's a culture of being able to endure suffering and yet being able to survive with a sense of resilience and local community there's a culture of being able to endure suffering and yet Now you know, you grew up in the Bronx, you know, like as a child, when you saw the rich kids in the city,
Well, they might have been rich, but they didn't have street skills.
They didn't know how to survive or what to do, right?
But they had daddy's money, right?
That happens on an international scale.
And I recently interviewed Russian author Dmitry Orlov, who writes about the five stages of collapse.
And he studies the comparisons between the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and where America is headed today.
And he says the most important red flag difference is that the former Soviets knew how to suffer and survive.
Today's Americans, they don't know how to do anything because everything's been too convenient, too cheap.
The money's been cheap.
The debt's been cheap.
The products have been cheap because we export inflation and import products.
So the American people, by and large, except for the people watching this show or preppers, American people aren't ready for what's coming, are they?
No.
America's manufacturing.
It's only 11% of our gross domestic product.
Consumption is almost 70%.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
Once upon a time, there were factories, you know, all over where I am up in Kingston, New York, all over.
There were factories that used to make things.
No more.
And you thank slimeball Bill Clinton who gave us NATO and brought China into the World Trade Organization.
And starting with Henry made rotten hell Kissinger.
When he went to China and started opening up, they wanted cheap labor so they could make more money.
End of story.
That's right.
But there's good news out of your journal.
I want to refocus this because it's easy for you and I to talk about what's happening, like what's coming.
We can see it clearly.
But for those watching, I want them to receive a very clear message that you don't have to lose all your assets as this happens.
There is a method of navigating this with knowledge and with strategy.
And that's where the Trends Journal comes in.
TrendsJournal.com, again, if you subscribe with discount code Ranger, you get a 10% discount.
We earn a little bit as an affiliate.
It helps support Gerald Salenti's operation as well as this platform, by the way.
But save 10% with discount code Ranger.
But Gerald, talk about...
Just give us a hint of the sense of optimism.
What tools are available for people to be able to survive this?
First of all, the most important thing is for people to get in the best shape they can.
Physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
And you have to be there.
You have to be a fighter for yourself.
You have to be in the best shape you can.
When you're in that kind of spirit, your mind goes in different ways.
And you can't stop learning.
I have to tell you, I've never worked harder in my life.
I mean it.
I've never worked harder in my life because so much is going on.
You know, people say to me, oh, how tan you are.
You go on vacation?
No.
I sit outside.
I've got to read all this stuff.
So I sit out in the sun to read.
I read over six hours a day looking for information.
So then what we also do in the magazine, in the Trends Journal, is we give them on-trendpreneur opportunities.
This is what's going on.
This is where we see it going.
And this is an opportunity, an on-trend opportunity that you might want to seize.
And I'm going to tell you one of them.
And you're starting to see it even with companies starting to do this in the consumer section.
Telling people to get off their cell phones, you know, become yourself, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's time for a renaissance.
It's time to lift the spirit.
Start selling style, grace, culture.
You know, you go into a restaurant.
It's costing you a lot of dough.
And I'm hearing the music in the background that I can hardly talk to the people I'm with.
The same stupid rap sound of no instrumentation or style.
Now imagine if you were in there and you heard beautiful, you know, like jazz in the old days, like a, you know, Lester Young in the background, a Coleman Hall, playing really nice stuff at the Count Basie, the Duke Ellington, making you feel nice as you're eating and lifting up the spirit.
What I'm saying is to lift up the spirit at every level.
Get into the business of lifting up the spirit.
If you're going to open a business, lift the spirit up.
Bring it to a higher level in every way that you can.
The people want it.
Once upon a time, there was a black plague.
Over 60% of Europe got wiped out.
What brought it back?
The Renaissance.
In the manner of the Romans and the ancients, they said in Italy to describe the quality of their work.
We have to bring back that quality.
Go back.
It's not ancient history.
Art Deco in the 1930s and late 20s.
The beauty of the Chrysler buildings.
And now it's a piece of glass and steel crap.
What you're talking about are the timeless properties of human inspiration, the arts, the expression of humanity, and it's lost in our society today.
And, you know, you have you have a blue haired, overweight lesbian with a nose ring lecturing you on why your child needs to be have their genitalia mutilated.
And you're like, what culture is this?
This is not my culture.
That's, you know, that's for sure.
And then, you know, even we're talking about red lobster.
All you can eat is shrimp like.
That's the offer.
It's like, come in and engorge yourself because America's not fat enough yet.
If you want to go out of business, offer all you can eat in a country of obesity.
Red lobster, just figure that out.
I'm not trying to insult people who have a weight problem.
I'm just saying that this is the culture that it has become.
I know.
I have one of my books.
Here it is.
It was called What Zizzy Gave Honey Boy.
Zizzy's a Neapolitan dialect for Auntie.
It's about growing up in the Bronx and what it used to be like.
And matter of fact, they did a movie on it, Zizzy and Honey Boy, and Doris Roberts, the woman that played the mother of Everyone Loves Raymond, played my aunt.
But Doris Roberts died 15 minutes into the movie.
You could see it.
You could get it on YouTube.
But anyway, look at this photo, if you could see that.
It's hard to make it out from here.
You can see that?
Not really.
No?
No.
Anyway, it's my parents' wedding.
1934.
Wow.
Everybody dressed elegantly, looking elegant.
My father, may they all rest in peace, he worked in a fish store.
My uncles worked as laborers.
My aunts worked in factories.
Everybody was...
Elegant.
Again, you go back to the 1930s.
Look at the style of the people.
The Great Depression.
And the style is high.
And now you said you got these blimpitis with the pink and blue hair with nose rings and tattooed.
You know, there used to be a thing called the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
It went out of business.
You don't have to pay to see the fat man or the tattooed lady anymore.
They're everywhere.
There's a freak show on every sidewalk in every American city.
Yeah.
So true.
So true.
But from a big picture perspective, in terms of history, because you were talking about the history of culture and human inspiration and expression, I believe that what the West has become It's just a blip in history.
You got it.
Because we're going to return, ultimately, after the collapse of this system, we're going to return the survivors to what makes us human and what creates inspiration and innovation.
Yes and no.
The no is my concern today.
World War III has already begun.
That's true.
There's going to be a false flag event that's going to, quote, make it official.
One of my sayings is, when all else fails, they take you to war.
Again, what followed the Great Depression?
World War II. What followed the dot-com bust?
The War on Terror.
What followed...
People don't know anything about the 39 weeks of protests in Israel that Isaac Herzog, the president of Israel, called the Civil War.
You could look it up.
I remember that.
What happened?
Hamas.
And again, matter of fact, data just came out today that the IDF warned Netanyahu it was going to happen.
When all else fails, they take you to war.
That's right.
Biden's going to take us to war.
Well, in fact, I need to ask you, I'm sorry to interrupt, but Anthony Blinken just said last night or yesterday in a congressional testimony event that Ukraine is, in essence, granted permission to use the longer-range missiles to strike targets deep within Russia.
I mean, that's provocation.
That's an escalation engineering event.
Again, America's at war.
If I said to you, Mike, I need a hand grenade.
I want to Throw it at the guy next door.
You gave it to me.
You're an accessory to the crime.
We're supplying the weapons of death.
America's accessory to the crime.
Oh, but look what just happened with that, as we say in Italian, Janet Yellen.
That means, you know, you can look it up.
We're the same age.
Thank God I don't look like her.
She came out against China, as others have, for supplying Supplying Russia with what they need to keep fighting this war.
It's okay for the United States to supply it and Europe, but not China to help Russia.
I mean the mentality of this.
So World War III is going to be something that's going to have a nuclear exchange.
And again, look up the Samson option, everyone listening.
Israel is going to lose this war.
And they say the Samson option, if they lose the war, they're going nuclear.
They have between 200 to 400 nuclear warheads.
Illegal, by the way, but hey, they could have them.
But Iran can't or anybody else, you know.
Because it says in the good book, chapter 6, section 8, that they're the chosen people.
I forgot.
I don't want to hear this crap.
But don't forget that one of the lawmakers in Iran recently said that Iran also has nuclear weapons.
They just don't talk about it publicly.
Yep.
Or that they have the capability to rapidly assemble the nuclear weapons.
So, in other words, they have the nuclear weapon components in a bunker somewhere.
On this side of the room is all the nuclear material.
On that side is all the kinetic explosives.
And then there's electronics.
And all they've got to do is put them together, which takes a few hours.
And that way they can publicly say, well, we don't have nuclear weapons.
But actually, they do.
They have them, you know, five hours later if they want them.
The point is, you're absolutely right, Gerald, that...
Israel is losing this war.
In fact, I would argue that Israel is losing against Hamas, which is really saying something, by the way, because they haven't defeated Hamas.
And Israel's losing all its armor.
And Israel's...
I mean, I didn't mean to make this about Israel, but the IDF, those are hyper-privileged, weak soldiers compared to what...
Americans used to be in World War II. Think about all the New York soldiers in World War II. They were real men compared to what even the IDF is today or the U.S. military or the German military is today.
And so Hamas is beating them.
Israel's not going to win this war.
They're going to end up going nuclear just out of sheer desperation, is my analysis.
Again, that's the Samson option.
Where they lose, they go nuke.
And again, look what happened with that...
The exchange of missiles went after Israel assassinated the top commanders in Damascus in Syria at the consulate when Iran responded with the weapons strikes.
Again, from the times of Israel, it cost Israel $1.3 billion To knock out those weapons.
It cost Iran 10% of that to send them.
And Iran targeted...
They didn't target people.
They just showed that they could hit where they wanted to hit.
And Israel barely responded.
Because they knew that Iran...
These are the Persians.
They've been around a long time.
There's very advanced people.
So what I'm saying is that...
If we have nuclear war, it's going to be, again, Kennedy said life on Earth will be destroyed in 24 hours.
That was back in 63.
And now you have the cyber wars, all the other kind of wars going on, the drones.
By the way, I was a guest speaker at Virginia Military Institute back in 2000.
And They brought me there because of my book, Trends 2000.
And I wrote about new millennium warfare and how different it was going to be than the other wars.
And again, you don't have to be brilliant to know this stuff.
I mean, once upon a time, they were fighting with, you know, with rocks and stones to bow and arrows, you know, to...
It just keeps expanding.
We're at a point now of annihilation within no time.
And all these little clowns that are building bomb shelters.
Life will be wonderful after a nuclear explosion.
I mean, you're going to want to be happily ever after.
If there's a nuclear war, I hope it hits me right away and I get checked out.
Well, Victoria Nuland recently is calling for strikes deeper into Russia, which, of course, is what Blinken is supporting.
And then Russia has already previously stated that if that happens, then Russia will consider UK and US... Military bases, command centers, logistics targets to be legitimate targets.
So that means that the minute Ukraine starts launching these weapons and hitting targets in Moscow, let's say, Russia could just start nuking Norfolk, Virginia, right?
And I mean, they've already warned that that's what we're going to do, or just bombing London.
It's coming.
Talked about Victoria Nuland.
Yeah, I hate to bring her up, sorry.
See how happy this guy looks?
Yeah.
This is your Trends Journal when it used to be a monthly back in 2014.
Now it's a weekly.
Article written by Dr.
Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Treasury Secretary under Ronald Reagan.
Washington is driving the world to the final war.
Ukraine presented the perfect opportunity for Washington to advance its hegemonic agenda.
In a speech at the National Press Club last December, which is December 2013, and anybody could look it up, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland boasted that Washington had invested $5 billion In non-governmental organizations, NGOs in Ukraine to quote, teach democracy.
The United States overthrew the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych.
She was out there passing out cookies and cakes with McCain and other clowns because Ukraine has been busted since the breakup of the Soviet Union.
Not my language.
The European Union, the most corrupt nation in Europe, not my language, the latest poll out from Ukraine where 89% of the people say corruption is the number two issue other than the war is number one.
They needed money.
Yanukovych was going to make a deal with the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank.
They needed dough.
Putin said, I got a better deal for you.
I'm going to give you lower interest rates, and I'm going to lower the price of your gas and oil.
Oh, wow.
Yanukovych said, great, we'll go with you.
No, you won't.
No, you won't.
Victoria Newland, the audio is there, talking to another arrogant, you know, look at these little clowns, you look at these little nobody boys, guy Jeffrey Pyatt, you know, The guy was the United States ambassador to Ukraine.
She's caught on the phone with him.
I've heard this recording.
Yeah, she said, FU to the EU. We're putting Yats in there.
Yatsenyuk, another clown boy.
And we're getting rid of Yanukovych.
Yep.
Regime change.
Yep.
And people have no idea about this.
And then you talked about Antony Blinken.
Don't you know who my daddy was?
My daddy was the ambassador to...
To Hungary and my uncle was the ambassador to Belgium and I went to Dalton and I went to Harvard and did you see me play the guitar in Ukraine with Zelensky?
A little wacko!
A little piece of crap!
A little garbage boy!
Go over there and fight fat mouth!
Or shut your mouth!
Look at that little clown boy!
It is disgusting.
Oh, yeah.
Look at the little shit of Lindsey Graham.
Hey, Lindsey, you come out of the closet yet?
Anybody that wants to steal my money, bring it to another country to go fight their war, go over there and fight.
Take your wife, take your kids, take your transgenders, go over there and fight, or shut your damn mouth.
Yeah, well said.
Well said.
And that's what this has become.
You see Speaker Johnson, you see Senator Graham, like you mentioned, and others just calling for all-out escalation against Russia, as if it's still, you know, 1972 or something, where the U.S. naval forces are immune to everybody else.
Gerald, I'm predicting we're going to see a U.S. aircraft carrier destroyed.
Oh, again.
These guys, they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.
And all they do is talk about war.
Yeah.
No, it's crazy.
Imagine from...
If you call these guys out man to man, they wouldn't know whether to piss a shit.
Don't you talk to me like that, you little piece of crap.
You little piece of shit.
How dare, how dare you do this?
How dare?
Hey, screw George Washington.
Oh, the guy that was a real fighter?
Read his farewell address.
Do not become involved in every foreign entanglement.
That's right.
Don't love a nation, don't hate a nation, because if you do to either one, you become a slave to them.
This crap has been going on for centuries over there, and we're not going to fix it.
And an estimated half a million Ukrainian men are dead because of people like Victoria Nuland and Antony Blinken.
And she's just another version of, you know, Madeleine Albright.
Just another rendition of a Hillary Clinton.
I mean, they're all the same.
Satanic, demonic, anti-human, power-hungry, evil lunatics that run our world.
Oh, and remember the crap they used to spew out?
Oh, if only women were in charge.
Oh, yeah.
If only women were in charge.
Good and bad comes in every race, creed, color, gender.
Take it easy.
I don't want to hear this.
You got that Vandelion over there, the little clown Baerbach over there in Germany.
Oh, Baerbach.
Oh, my goodness.
I thought having an IQ of room temperature should have been a requirement to be in elected office there.
You misspoke Clinton's name.
It's Hitlery Clinton.
You're absolutely correct.
All right, Gerald, we're just about running out of time here today.

You get a weekly issue, heavily researched by you, Gerald, and your staff, and put together in a very compelling format.
I would say that, you know, a lot of our audience, some of them are retired, many are, and they have assets.
And they're trying to figure out how to just not lose those assets.
Like, that's the name of the game right now.
And, you know, if you hold it in dollars, you lose it.
Go ahead.
Yep.
And again, one of our top trends is a golden year for gold, and we could see gold going up to $3,000 an ounce this year.
I could see that.
And again, people say, you know, I'm angry.
Once upon a time, there was this guy by the name of St.
Thomas Aquinas.
You could look it up.
He said, if you're not angry when it is morally justifiable to be angry, you are immoral.
Good point.
Not being angry.
And I'm angry.
I don't like to see the slaughter of people all over the world and my money going to do it.
I want peace on earth, goodwill to all.
I don't want to die in a war brought to you by little war whores.
Yeah, I'm right there with you.
It's amazing how everything has flipped.
I mean, here, you and I are the pro-peace people, and the GOP leaders are the anti-free speech people.
Yeah, I'm a warrior for the Prince of Peace.
Again, I launched Occupy Peace over a decade ago.
I'm having another rally here in September.
Judge Andrew Napolitano, he's on board already.
I'm going to try to get Scott Ritter and Colonel McGregor here as well.
Oh, can you please let us know?
We'd love to help promote that, publicize it for you, because those names you just mentioned are just outstanding people.
Colonel McGregor has amazing analysis.
Judge Knapp, I'm watching his show every day.
I mean, he's the best.
I know.
We're great friends.
We go to dinner about every month and a half.
We're an hour away from each other, so we meet two hours away.
We meet an hour away each time.
Yeah, no, he's a great man.
He's a man of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Absolutely.
It's been stolen from us.
Yeah, and didn't he, I think he said he traveled.
He was in Italy recently giving a speech there, I believe, right?
In Milan.
Milan, that's right.
Oh, I'm so glad that people like you and he exist, and there are voices of courage and reason in all of this, like Colonel McGregor from Our Country, Our Choice.
He's a great American.
I mean, just the willingness to tell the truth right now takes amazing courage.
And you put the clip up for the Trends Journal and there's me and Judge Andrew Napolitano.
I do a podcast with him every Wednesday.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah, I see that.
Oh, that's great.
Fantastic.
Well, I'll check those out as well.
Is that on your channel then?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah, on the Trends Journal of Gerald Salenti channel.

I mean, you're a very brave man.
All you people, your whole organization, you know, speaking out for the truth against the tyranny that's robbing us of our freedom.
And there are so few of us left.
So, again, it does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men, said Samuel Adams.
That's right.
And with that irate, irate, tireless minority, and if we unite, we could win.
Well, being an Adams myself, I love to be juxtaposed to Samuel Adams, but not Eric Adams, the mayor.
So, you know, sometimes the Adams are good, sometimes not so much.
It just depends on which one.
But anyway, thank you so much, Gerald.
Have a wonderful rest of your day.
We appreciate you very much.
