Trends This Week

Gerald Celente recaps the latest episode of The Presidential Reality

Show, forecasts what to expect and highlights the open window for

progressive advancement that can alter the political landscape. On the

economic front, Celente forecasts what to expect in the global equity

markets, the world economies and the "Ontrendpreneur" opportunities to

seize and the dangers to avoid.

Global master forecaster Gerald Celente analyzes the state of the

presidential race as he reflects on the state of America's decline in

the 21st Century and the reasons behind. America,

once the world's undisputed global heavyweight, has down-trended into

an economic, political, social, cultural and lifestyle bantamweight. He

also makes some predictions on the campaign ahead and also breaks down

recent economic activity and the ticking time bomb that is the global

economy.

Global forecaster Gerald Celente breaks down the reasons behind his

Trends Research Institute's forecast that when presidential candidate

Bernie Sanders bows out of the Democratic primary, he'll join Hillary

Clinton's campaign as her running mate. Hillary for president, with

Bernie as running by her side for vice president, towers over any

combinations on the radar now for the GOP. But does it matter?

Elsewhere, Celente explains the economy is in a holding pattern; don't

be fooled by recent spikes. The market riggers have fewer and fewer

tools to keep the economy on life support.

Direct Democracy, a longstanding guiding tenet of Gerald Celente

and the Trends Research Institute, can work. Celente breaks down the

failures of our leaders on political, foreign policy and economic fronts

and demonstrates how Direct Democracy is the way out, the solution. He

points to the recent Dutch vote against the European Union-Ukraine

agreement that called for closer and more strategic security and trade

agreements with Ukraine. But a vote of the Dutch people, albeit

non-binding, rejected the deal. Direct Democracy in action. The referendum,

pulled off by the Eurosceptics movement in record time and efficiency,

shows how a direct vote by the people can work. Elsewhere, Celente

addresses recent market surges on the backdrop of rising oil prices and

corporate earnings.

The Trends Research Institute today affirmed our trend forecast, made

one year ago, that Hillary Clinton will win the 2016 presidential race.

And we now forecast her Democratic challenger, Bernie Sanders, will be

chosen as her vice presidential running mate. Indeed,

in the absence of a major scandal, and as the current field of

candidates stands, a Clinton victory was sealed last week when Donald

Trump, already suffering "women problems" in the polls, sunk 73 percent

into negative territory when he said if a woman had an abortion and they

were illegal, she should be subject to "some form of punishment." With

Clinton having solidly secured the women vote and holding an

insurmountable delegate lead, Sanders has succeeded in attracting

die-hard Democratic liberals, the financially desperate and deeply

indebted millennial voters back into the party fold. Barring any

wildcard factors that significantly disrupt the political landscape, the

Clinton-Sanders ticket can own several critical voter segments and take

the race over the finish line.

The Brussels terror attacks remind us, at least those of us able to

think for ourselves, of the root causes of terrorism the media never

report, how much you can't trust the "official" word on who's

responsible and how the attacks unfolded and how our leaders, the media

elite and the population at large can't muster a peep for peace, only

more war mongering. Elsewhere in this program, the global master

forecaster breaks down the Fed's no-rate-hikes-now stance and why gold

still shines.

Only peace, not more police surveillance at home and military

intervention in foreign lands can win the War on Terror. Celente also

reviewed the deep fault lines in America's Middle East foreign policy

and gave an overview of his global economic forecast.

Donald Trump's victory night speech about how "we" need the rich in America to make the country "great again" underscores how far "we" have sunk. Global forecaster Gerald Celente puts it all in perspective: The absence of grace, dignity and self respect thrives in a culture where the rich get richer at the expense of the vast majority. And Trump exemplifies that. In the Presidential Reality Show, however, there are no good options. Elsewhere, Celente dissects the zero-interest rate reality bearing down on developed nations - why this is happening, how it will evolve and what it means to you. Our future is being robbed from us! The bankers have murdered Wall Street, and Main Street suffers the most.

Across the globe and around the world, from nations’ capitals to city

halls, they come in all sizes, shapes, races, creeds and colors. A gang

of lunatics run and ruin life on Earth under the guise that the parties

they belong to represent We the People and the policies they promote

will bring financial security and military victory. Pick a country. Name

the names. With few exceptions, those in charge boast track records of fiasco, economic disasters and mass destruction. From the highest

governmental offices to the military to central-bank policymakers, they

double down on catastrophes they created by promising great success from

their monumental failures. The current path to the future is clear:

more of the same, but much worse. However, when a critical mass who

wants to live in peace and gracious beauty take life in their own hands

and take it away from those whose greatest ambition is to rule and

control, the Renaissance 2.0 we had forecast will prevail.

When

Warren Buffett speaks, the media world listens. And when it comes to

deal making, not even Donald “I am the Greatest” Trump comes close to

Buffett. But when it comes to trend forecasting outside Wall Street, the “Oracle of Omaha” is either far removed from Main Street… or, as a major financial backer and Hillary Clinton supporter,

is he shilling for her by demeaning “many Americans,” including us, who

have documented an America in serious socioeconomic decline? And an America fanning war flames across the globe?
