American retailers continue to be plagued by the relatively new phenomenon of brazen, organized retail thefts, often characterized as “smash and grabs” and carried out by “flash mobs.” This crime wave has already caused the Walgreens drug chain to close down a number of its stores in San Francisco—see “COVID CRIME WAVE SPIKES, DRUG STORES...
With three weeks remaining in the year, 12 major U.S. cities have seen a record number of homicides in 2021, continuing the upward trend from a year earlier. The Trends Journal said in March that when politicians lock down economies to fight the COVID WAR, an increase in crime is nearly certain. (SEE: “CRIME ON...
“Good Morning Britain,” the popular ITV show, faced backlash earlier this month after its social media team removed a poll that showed nearly 90 percent of respondents opposed to any vaccine mandates.

None of this comes as a “shock” or surprise to Trends Journal subscribers.

It was 18 days ago when the Omicron fear and hysteria hit the globe. On the news that one case (yes one case, no death) was identified in California, the Dow tanked 900 points. Since that time, as we have detailed in the Trends Journal, travel and other draconian COVID War mandates have been imposed...
Over in the U.K., Boris Johnson’s government is dealing with a scandal. But it’s not a huge, headline-grabbing sex-and-spy scandal, like the Profumo affair back in the swinging ’60s that roiled (and eventually helped bring down) the government of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. No, this is a scandal of the COVID War… an uproar over...
New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul (who served as Lt. Governor under Andrew Cuomo, and succeeded him when he was forced to resign over sexual harassment allegations), has imposed a new, statewide mask mandate. Despite no one dying of the new Omicron variant in New York State—or the world, according to the World Health Organization—Hochul declared...
There may be a shortage of electronic components but there’s never a shortage of houseplants. For certain tasks, plants could take components’ place. At Sweden’s Linköping University, researchers turned bean plants into electrical circuits by watering them with a solution containing a polymer called poly polystyrene sulfonate, which conducts electricity. Coated by the polymer, the...
