In particular, the number of temporary jobs in the United States has started to decline significantly after peaking last December. Why this is so important is because the number of temporary jobs started to decline precipitously right before the last two recessions as well. You see, when economic conditions start to change, temporary workers are often affected before anyone else is. Temporary workers are easier to hire than other types of workers, and they are also easier to fire.

Of course I have been warning about this new economic downturn since the middle of last year. US factory orders have now been falling for 18 months in a row, job cut announcements at major companies are running 24 percent higher up to this point in 2016 than they were during the same time period in 2015, and just recently Microsoft said that they were going to be cutting 1,850 jobs as the market for smartphones continues to slow down.

As I have been warning for months, the exact same patterns that we witnessed just prior to the last major economic crisis are playing out once again right in front of our eyes. Perhaps you have blind faith in Barack Obama, the Federal Reserve and our other “leaders”, and perhaps you are convinced that everything will turn out okay somehow, but there are others that are doing what they can to get prepared in advance.

It may surprise you to learn that George Soros is one of them. According to recent media reports, George Soros has been selling off investments like crazy and has poured tremendous amounts of money into gold and gold stocks…George Soros didn’t make his fortune by being a dummy. Obviously he can see that something big is coming, and so he is making the moves that he feels are appropriate.

The annual three-day Bilderberg conference kicks off on Thursday, and you can be sure the mood in Dresden will be a grim one. The heads of Google, Shell, BP and Deutsche Bank will be there, and Brexit will be top of the agenda. The Bilderberg Group has been nurturing the EU to life since the 1950s, and now they see their creation under dire threat.

"A disaster for everyone" is how Henri de Castries, the boss of AXA and a director of HSBC, describes Brexit. But in particular, it is a disaster for his banking and big business colleagues at Bilderberg. For Bilderberg, as for Goldman Sachs, the idea that there might be any kind of push-back against globalisation is a horrific one.

An integrated EU, with the City at its centre, is a key building block in a globalised world, and its potential loss is a huge concern for "the high priests of globalisation", as Will Hutton called the members of Bilderberg. The prospect of Brexit "frightens me", admit Ken Jacobs, the head of Lazard, and another member of Bilderberg's inner circle. Not much frightens these people. Only two things: sunlight and Brexit.

And of course this is just the continuation of a trend that stretches back to last year, when extremely weird weather created “apocalyptic-like conditions” in many areas around the world. So why is this happening? For decades, we could count on weather patterns falling within fairly predictable parameters, but now that is completely changing all of a sudden.

All over the globe we are seeing things happen that we have never seen happen before, and the weather just seems to get even more crazy with each passing month. At the exact same time when the crust of our planet is becoming increasingly unstable, our weather is starting to become really crazy too.

Some people are going to dismiss all of this as just a bizarre series of coincidences, others will want to blame “global warming”, and yet others will see all of this as a sign that Jesus is coming back soon. But what is truly frightening to consider is this…What if our weather just keeps getting crazier and crazier? If our weather continues to spiral out of control, it is inevitable that there will be major famines, widespread riots and tremendous political unrest all over the planet.

Ramadan is determined by the lunar cycle and will run from 6 June to about 5 July, but the timing shifts each year in relation to the Western calendar. Earlier this year, exam boards said key GCSE and A-level examinations were timetabled this summer to take into account the holy month. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and a time when Muslims will fast during the hours of daylight. It lasts for 29 or 30 days.

Muslims believe the Koran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad during this month. As one of the five pillars of Islam, fasting is obligatory for all healthy Muslims - a test of patience and endurance whilst refraining from eating and drinking, and sexual activity.

It is common to have one meal, known as the Suhoor, just before dawn and another, known as the Iftar, directly after sunset. The end of Ramadan is marked by 'Eid-ul-Fitr', the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast.

After a brief break from the turbulence that dominated the start of the year, when fears over the strength of the global economy and the idea of a sharp slowdown in China unnerved money managers, volatility is set to return to the scene. Mellow May is now expected to give way to what industry veterans are already calling “flaming June”, as a calm start to the month is to be followed by shifts throughout currencies, stocks and bonds.

Experts say that they expect June to be a “big month” for the markets, and that things are unlikely to settle down any time soon. Investors will face an alarming number of binary events – those with only two potential outcomes – between now and July. The most important decisions will be those made by policymakers in the US, on whether to raise interest rates, and votes cast by the British public, on the UK’s continued membership of the European Union.

Almost straight after the Brexit vote, investors will have the Spanish general election on June 26 to contend with. The last elections, in December, resulted in no government being formed, and pundits believe there is a decent chance that anti-austerity parties make inroads at the ballot box this month.

In Japan, officials may decide to deploy “helicopter money”, government spending stimulus funding by central bank printed money. Experts believe that the Bank of Japan could unveil the policy on June 16 in their fight against deflation; deploying a tool unseen in the modern era, and one economists may struggle to anticipate the full effects of.

As a result, Juckes says that markets have become “hypersensitive to this sort of random, idiosyncratic event risk”. The threat of a sudden slowdown in China, oil prices moving up or down sharply, or perhaps even the collapse of the Brazilian government right before the 2016 Olympics are set to begin in Rio are all risks that could upset the balance.

Holmes is a distinguished fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and the author of a new book, “The Closing of the Liberal Mind.” A new air of intolerance has been pulsing through radical leaders throughout the US, the United Nations and the European Union, according to this America-loving scholar, diplomat and author.

Elites use international treaties and conventions to circumvent the will of the electorate, Holmes explains. They use a sympathetic president, popular culture, entertainment, colleges, and murky tactics to “break down the resistance to their agenda” to transform America.

To Holmes, the transgender issue uses a small number of “victims” to demonstrate who can make laws. By expanding an administrative interpretation of “civil rights,” without Congress, the federal state solidifies its capacity to dictate American law – even if it’s public school bathroom policies. Most Republicans fail to step up and fight, he says, because they fear a popular culture that is against them and are exceedingly shallow.

President Barack Obama’s legacy, to this scholar, will be how he polarized the nation, devastated the middle class, and made more Americans feel disenfranchised. Holmes thinks that the more chaos, the better for Obama’s strategic objective to transform America.

Never before had prospects looked so good for the day when most of the world’s energy will come from “green, clean” sources such as the sun and the wind: the costs of which, says the report, are fast becoming so “competitive” that last year investment in them was more than double that on “dirty” fossil fuel power plants. What the BBC didn’t tell us was that REN21 – full name Renewable Energy for the 21st Century – is the world’s leading lobby group for “green” energy.

And, when it came to what the world is getting for this tidal wave of spending, it used the familiar trick of talking only of “capacity”, overlooking the fact that, because sun and wind are so intermittent, their actual output is very much lower; in the case of solar panels averaging at best only 15 per cent of their theoretical “capacity”. Without massive subsidies, no one across much of the world would dream of building a solar farm.

Figures compiled by the BP Energy Review show that solar power provides less than 1 per cent of the world’s electricity and barely 0.3 per cent of all its energy. Most of this, thanks to the subsidies available in the climate-change-obsessed EU, comes from Europe. But, despite all the billions poured into this “solar boom”, not its least startling feature is the regularity with which the companies investing in it go bust.

But because Zika virus fear fits a convenient funding narrative for chemical giants and vaccine manufacturers, it is being played up by the corrupt, criminally-run CDC and the Obama administration to funnel billions of dollars into the hands of vaccine corporations while ignoring the real causes of microcephaly. The most shocking realization in all this is that the mass spraying of chemicals, the release of GM mosquitoes, and the use of Zika vaccines will all spread Zika even faster.

It's the perfect medical scam! Zika is spread by the very things that we're all told are trying to stop Zika, and as the problem gets worse, all the chemical spraying and vaccines get ramped up to insane levels, causing even more insane levels of Zika virus.

It's just like flu shots: They spread the flu, causing more influenza outbreaks, panicking more people into getting more flu shots. And the cycle repeats. It's the greatest medical scam of all time: Make sure the treatments CAUSE the problem they claim to prevent!

What do these studies show? The research demonstrates conclusively that unvaccinated children enjoy far superior health when compared to those vaccinated. Unvaccinated children experience almost no incidence of autism, autoimmune disorders, asthma, allergies, diabetes and other common childhood diseases which have reached epidemic proportions in recent years.

One of the most comprehensive studies is an ongoing comparative survey by German homeopathic physician Andreas Bachmair. Bachmair is conducting an independent study comparing the health of vaccinated to unvaccinated children with 17,461 participants.

This research has found a significant increase in the following diseases in those vaccinated: asthma, allergies, bronchitis, otitis media (ear infections), hay fever, herpes, neurodermatitis, hyperactivity, scoliosis, epilepsy, autoimmune disorders, thyroid disease, autism and diabetes. Furthermore, Bachmair discovered three other studies which substantiated his findings.

Speaking to the BBC, Mr Fischer said: “Being nationalistic is not a good thing. So if the value of the EU is damaged – and it is already fragile – and if Great Britain is out, the temptation is the German population will also consider ‘what are the benefits? Why don’t we do things on our own?'”

He went on to claim that European “civilisation” would be under threat in the event of Brexit. “It gives you a very eerie feeling, how thin that layer of civilisation is. If you do things together with other countries in the EU it gives us a chance to come to a compromise. If we are not in the EU we will not look to compromise, but to win.”

Mr Fischer becomes the latest in an increasing number of officials to acknowledge that the European Union is in a perilous state and that thanks to the rise of populism and Euroscepticism the dream of a united super state has never seemed further away.

For now, an additional 14,300 military personnel and 4,400 civilians will be added by 2023. The military budget, which, in 2000, was still at 23 billion Euros, will be increased to 39.2 billion by 2020. This is the materialization of Berlin's geopolitical ambitions, which have been massively propagated since the fall of 2013, with the energetic participation of Germany's President, who has repeatedly called for a more offensive German global policy with the inclusion of its military.

In the process, Germany aims to take control of a ring of countries bordering on Europe - some rich in natural resources - that can constitute, above all, a "cordon sanitaire" designed to shield the prosperous European empire from all sorts of problems. Because the EU's original plans to use political-economic means to dominate this ring of states have proven unsuccessful, the German government is now turning to an open show of military force.

The demonstration calls for the use of elite combat units, particularly assault helicopters, considered generally by the military as the ideal weapon for anti-guerilla operations. The ILA management has installed a central area on the fair grounds for the aerospace industry to provide information on special helicopters for police and military missions. The event is again also focusing on the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) - or drones.

The Bundeswehr, alone, will introduce four different types of UAS, which had been used in Afghanistan to reconnoiter enemy positions in preparation of targeted attacks. At the US Air Force stand, the MQ-9 "Reaper" combat drone will be on display, which is being used around the world to illegally assassinate so-called terrorist suspects, regularly causing large numbers of civilian casualties.
