Martin Schulz, leader of the German Social Democrats, said last week that if he wins next month’s election, he will make it clear the U.S. is to withdraw its nuclear arsenal from German territory. Germany’s Left Party issued the statement: “The presence of U.S. forces in the region is being used to create tensions in relations with Russia.” There are...

One of the key tenants of Occupy Peace, a movement created by Gerald Celente to bring Peace and Prosperity to the world, is to abide by the Founding Fathers doctrine of “no foreign entanglements.” This is no longer the American Way. Despite President Trump’s vow to eliminate “endless wars,” some 200,000 American troops are deployed in 150 countries along with...

In every town hot and cold, big and small… the homeless population will explode.  It will keep growing and getting worse as economies falter and wars erupt. Citizens out of work, no money. Masses out of their minds with nowhere to turn. Others escaping war-ravaged countries… nations of poverty, violence, crime and corruption. No money, nowhere to go… homeless, helpless,...

Another year, another hellscape of wild fires and winds sweeping through America’s most populous state, California.  America, the land of the “Exceptionals.” Exceptionally stupid, that is! They’ve invested trillions to build a military-industrial complex that’s killed millions, while its infrastructure declines into third-world status.  California, the land of high-tech geeks who brag how their algorithms, data mining, machine learning, robotics,...

Two new compounds are showing promise not just in slowing physical aging but actually reversing it. The first is rapamycin, a substance discovered on Easter Island (a volcanic island in Polynesia) in a strain of strep bacteria. Rapamycin suppresses immune response and so is commonly given to people who receive organ transplants to quell rejection; and it prevents cells from...

In 2004, a utility company hired physicist James McCanney to analyze the future usefulness of renewable energy technologies. It was then he discovered that the increasingly popular, three-bladed wind turbine is designed all wrong. This discovery led him to create the WING Generator, a vastly more efficient wind turbine that won the Water Abundance X Prize for Technological Innovation in...

Researchers at Finland’s Aalto University and the country’s VTT Technical Research Centre have created a new entrant in the competition to replace petroleum-based polymers and plastics.   The team bonded wood fibers with the silk protein of spiders’ webs. The resulting material is tough like wood but still pliable enough to stretch like a spider web and strong enough to...

Carbon is the new black gold: capital is rushing to back schemes promising to harvest carbon from the air. Dimensional Energy, a start-up populated with Cornell University faculty, is touting its method of combining sunlight and CO2 to make methanol. Carbicrete in Montreal has just landed funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada to build a pilot plant for its process...

Weekly Market Review Global equities were basically flat last week and this week.  As they have for years, the mainstream media simplify complex economic factors by attributing their ups and downs to ongoing Brexit and Trade War dramas.  Oil prices remain basically unchanged. Gold is losing some shine among money managers, who dropped their speculative gross long positions in Comex...

IMF Hedges Bets  Finally, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is catching up with the Trends Journal’s global economic trend forecasts. Last week, the IMF slashed global growth estimates to 3 percent, down from 3.8 percent in 2017, the slowest rate seen since the Panic of ‘08.  The IMF predicts the “Big Four” global economies – U.S., the Eurozone, China, and...
