Deutsche Bank (DB), the financial institution the International Monetary Fund (IMF) called the “most systemically dangerous bank in the world” back in 2016, hit a fresh new all-time low of $6.44 per share. Charles Nenner predicted that if DB went below $6.40, it would head to $0 in the not-so-distant-future. Will world renowned, market cycle expert Charles Nenner be proven correct? This also has dire market implications!

Analyst Bo Polny, market cycle expert that applies the Bible to his work, says a “worldwide market crash is coming in 2019.” Polny says gold and silver prices are headed to new all-time highs, and there will be severe market down turns coming in the months ahead.

The shift in dialogue has been accelerated by the tight embrace between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and after a dizzying 48 hours, some Democrats are more openly discussing the unusual step of reconsidering foreign aid to the longtime ally.

The dispute has fractured bipartisan support for Israel and moved debates over it into partisan space more typically home to issues such as abortion, gun control and immigration. “There is this tectonic shifting of one of the fundamental plates of American politics,” said Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of J Street, a liberal pro-Israel group. “This has been a plank of the rule book for 60 years, and things are shifting in a really important way.”

Senator Bernie Sanders (Independent for Vermont), has been one of the most outspoken recent critics of Israel and has suggested withholding foreign aid. He labeled the country’s government as “dare I say, racist,” the same description fellow candidate and former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke used for Netanyahu. “If Israel doesn’t want members of the United States Congress to visit their country maybe they can respectfully decline the billions of dollars that we give to Israel,” Sanders said on MSNBC.

That’s what happened to the roughly 200,000 people who live in the similarly sized northern Russian city of Severodvinsk on 8 August, after an explosion at a nearby top-secret missile testing range. Russia’s weather service, Rosgidromet, recorded radiation levels up to 16 times higher than the usual ambient rate. There is still little reliable information. “Accidents, unfortunately, happen,” a Kremlin spokesman said.

That callous insouciance is not universally shared. According to western experts, the explosion was caused by the launch failure of a new nuclear-powered cruise missile, one of many advanced weapons being developed by Russia, the US and China in an accelerating global nuclear arms race. Now fast-forward to 16 August, and another threatening event: the test-firing by North Korea of potentially nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, the sixth round of launches since July. More than two years of vanity diplomacy by Donald Trump has not convinced Pyongyang it is safe to give up its nukes – proof, if it were needed, that unilateral counter-proliferation initiatives do not work.

Arms control experts say a consistent, joined-up international approach is woefully lacking. Thus Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal is tolerated, and the idea of a bomb developed by Saudi Arabia is no longer ruled out. But the merest hint that Iran may build a nuclear weapon is greeted with megatons of hypocritical horror. In a sense, the problem is circular. Putin argues that Russia’s build-up is a response to destabilising US moves to modernise and expand its own nuclear arsenal – and he has a point. Barack Obama, the former president, developed a $1.2 trillion plan to maintain and replace the “triad” of US air, sea and land-based nuclear weapons.

Trump has gone much further. The Pentagon’s nuclear posture review, published last year, proposed an additional $500 billion in spending, including $17 billion for low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons that could be used on conventional battlefields. The first of these new warheads is due to become operational next month. The dreadful example these nuclear arms-racers are setting to non-nuclear states such as Iran is obvious. By failing to uphold arms control agreements, neglecting collaborative counter-proliferation efforts, and building new, more “usable”, dangerously unproved weapons like the one that irradiated Severodvinsk, the nuclear powers are digging their own graves – and ours.

Meteorologists do sometimes refer to rainfall of biblical proportions, but only in exceptional cases. According to Genesis, the flood followed rain that lasted 40 days and 40 nights. The term has been applied with some justification to a projected once-in-a-200-year storm in California known as the ARkStorm. This was extrapolated by scientists at the United States Geological Survey in 2011, based on a storm in 1861/2 that dumped three metres of precipitation in 43 days.

ARkStorm is short for atmospheric river storm, but also refers to Noah’s ark. An ARkStorm would leave thousands of square miles submerged under up to six metres of water and require millions of people to be evacuated from their homes.

Dr Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmerman, who sits as a centre-right Free Democratic Party member, said that Berlin needs to stop living in the past. She said: “Germany needs to grow up. The post-war era is over." The inept size has been brought into the spotlight following Trump’s threat to withdraw troops from the region if Germany does not assume greater responsibility on joint missions. This upset the likes of Dr Zimmermann, who says that Germany needs to take even more individual responsibility as it cannot rely on Trump.

She added: “The age in which our allies, and above all the US, could be relied on to save our bacon is past. Many of our partners feel that Germany’s reluctance is a sign of untrustworthiness. This does huge damage to Germany, precisely because our country depends on support from the other Europeans in its security policy. Simply chuntering from the sidelines is preposterous.” The defence expert is just one of many disgruntled MPs sitting in the Bundestag.

Celebration of the morally degraded is becoming shockingly regular. Only two months ago, Vice promoted and glorified "the next generation of drag queens" — a group of pubescent and prepubescent boys who dress like grown women and dance for the amusement of adults. Around the same time, the Left cheered a 7-year-old boy in high heels and a skirt who led the LA Pride Parade ("Trans child wins LA Pride Parade with fierce strut in heels," as the MSN headline put it). Meanwhile, an 11-year-old boy gyrates on stage at a gay club while men throw money at him.

There are many other examples of this sort of thing. Just this past week, a drag queen decided to teach young children how to twerk at a public library in the UK. This is only slightly less creepy than the photos of small children lying on top of a drag queen at a drag queen story hour in Oregon. These macabre events are held all over the country, despite the fact that some of the drag queens have been outed as sex offenders.

All of this moves our culture in the direction of sexualization of children. Normalizers of child sexual abuse will never come out and say, "We intend to normalize child sexual abuse." Instead they'll encourage us to be open-minded about "age gaps," and they'll admonish us for being disturbed by drag queens performing for children, and they'll insist that there's totally nothing sexual about men throwing money at a boy dancing in women's clothes. In other words, they'll do everything they're currently doing. And they'll trust that they can scare us into silence by calling us bigots for speaking out against it.

The economy is generally regarded to be one of the bright spots for President Trump, and political operatives on the left clearly understand that a major economic downturn now would spell almost certain doom for Trump’s chances of winning the 2020 election. And when mainstream reporters talk about the possibility of a recession as we approach the next election, many of them almost seem gleeful as they describe how it could hurt Trump politically.

Ultimately, when things start to really get bad it is inevitable that the mainstream media will place the blame directly at the feet of Trump. It is easy to imagine a narrative along the lines of “Trump’s handling of the economy has plunged the nation into a recession” being relentlessly pounded into the heads of American voters over the next year. And if the end result is Trump being voted out of office, more than 90 percent of those that work for the big news companies will be just fine with that. This week, we have seen an absolute explosion in the number of stories about the possibility of an imminent recession.

According to a CNN poll from earlier this year, the performance of the economy is one of the main reasons for his current level of support… But if the US economy plunges into a painful recession, the game completely changes. For those on the left that would like to see Trump voted out in 2020, the timing of the next recession will be key. If the next recession doesn’t begin until the second half of 2020, there may not be enough economic pain before November to swing the election in the favor of the Democratic candidate. So what the left really needs is for a recession to begin during the second half of 2019 or the first half of 2020 so that Americans are really suffering by the time election day rolls around.

I know that is a very sick way to think, but these are the sorts of conversations that these people actually have. For example, on his own television show Bill Maher publicly stated that a recession would be “worth it” if Trump is voted out in 2020. As we approach the next election, many on the left will be so desperate to see Trump gone that they will be willing to pay just about any price to see that happen. The coming year promises to be quite chaotic, and those that hate President Trump are likely to pull out all the stops in an all-out attempt to get him voted out in 2020.

"They view certain countries like China, India, many countries - they've viewed them as growing, they are growing nations. Well, they have grown, and they had tremendous advantages. We are not letting that happen anymore", he said. Trump has repeatedly reiterated his criticism of the WTO, claiming that the US is disadvantaged as a member of the global bloc. The US president has also repeatedly called the WTO a "catastrophe" and a "disaster" for the US. Trump recently directed US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to secure changes in the group that would prevent developing countries from utilizing regulatory loopholes.

The White House pointed out in a memorandum that China and many other countries continue to style themselves as developing countries “allowing them to enjoy the benefits that come with that status and seek weaker commitments than those made by other WTO members”. Shortly after issuing the memorandum, Trump said in a statement that the WTO is "broken" when the world's richest countries claim to be developing countries and get special treatment to avoid WTO rules.
