2020 Election Anomalies, Media Layoffs and New Zealand Restructure
Gerald Celente recounts the sudden shift in 2020 election results in states like Wisconsin and Michigan, where large batches of mail-in ballots favored Joe Biden. He also notes a global trend of massive layoffs in the "dinosaur media," including a major restructure in New Zealand that eliminated hundreds of journalism jobs. This decline is attributed to the public's loss of trust in corporate news.
Media Layoffs, Corporate Consolidation, Slavelandia
Gerald Celente discusses the collapse of mainstream journalism, citing massive layoffs at the Los Angeles Times and the consolidation of 90% of media under six corporations. He references an Oxfam report stating that 1% of the population owns 43% of global financial assets. Celente mocks the media's obsession with Taylor Swift as a distraction from the "Slavelandia" reality where private equity groups and hedge funds own almost all corporate entities.
Death of Journalism, BuzzFeed Financial Crisis
The financial collapse of BuzzFeed, whose stock has fallen 95% since going public, is used as an example of the "death of journalism." The segment argues that mainstream media outlets are failing because they all repeat the same state-approved narratives. In contrast, the Trends Journal is promoted as a source of independent socioeconomic and geopolitical analysis that helps readers "prepare, prevail, and prosper."
