This May Become A Nightmare!

> Celente Predicts Revolution, Food Riots, Tax Rebellions By 2012

> > > Thursday, November 13, 2008

> > > > > > > > > stock market > > > > > > > > > > Gerald Celente

> > > > > > > The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union is now forecasting revolution in America, food riots and tax rebellions - all within four years, while cautioning that putting food on the table will be a more pressing concern than buying Christmas gifts by 2012.

> > Gerald Celente, the CEO of Trends Research Institute, is renowned for his accuracy in predicting future world and economic events, which will send a chill down your spine considering what he told Fox News this week.

> > Celente says that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts.

> > “We’re going to see the end of the retail Christmas….we’re going to see a fundamental shift take place….putting food on the table is going to be more important that putting gifts under the Christmas tree,” said Celente, adding that the situation would be “worse than the great depression”.

> > “America’s going to go through a transition the likes of which no one is prepared for,” said Celente, noting that people’s refusal to acknowledge that America was even in a recession highlights how big a problem denial is in being ready for the true scale of the crisis.

> > > > > > > > Celente, who successfully predicted the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis, the subprime mortgage collapse and the massive devaluation of the U.S. dollar, told UPI in November last year that the following year would be known as “The Panic of 2008,” adding that “giants (would) tumble to their deaths,” which is exactly what we have witnessed with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and others. He also said that the dollar would eventually be devalued by as much as 90 per cent.

> > The consequence of what we have seen unfold this year would lead to a lowering in living standards, Celente predicted a year ago, which is also being borne out by plummeting retail sales figures.

> > The prospect of revolution was a concept echoed by a British Ministry of Defence report last year, which predicted that within 30 years, the growing gap between the super rich and the middle class, along with an urban underclass threatening social order would mean, “The world’s middle classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest,” and that, “The middle classes could become a revolutionary class.”

> > In a separate recent interview, Celente went further on the subject of revolution in America.

> > “There will be a revolution in this country,” he said. “It’s not going to come yet, but it’s going to come down the line and we’re going to see a third party and this was the catalyst for it: the takeover of Washington, D. C., in broad daylight by Wall Street in this bloodless coup. And it will happen as conditions continue to worsen.”

> > “The first thing to do is organize with tax revolts. That’s going to be the big one because people can’t afford to pay more school tax, property tax, any kind of tax. You’re going to start seeing those kinds of protests start to develop.”

> > “It’s going to be very bleak. Very sad. And there is going to be a lot of homeless, the likes of which we have never seen before. Tent cities are already sprouting up around the country and we’re going to see many more.”

> > “We’re going to start seeing huge areas of vacant real estate and squatters living in them as well. It’s going to be a picture the likes of which Americans are not going to be used to. It’s going to come as a shock and with it, there’s going to be a lot of crime. And the crime is going to be a lot worse than it was before because in the last 1929 Depression, people’s minds weren’t wrecked on all these modern drugs – over-the-counter drugs, or crystal meth or whatever it might be. So, you have a huge underclass of very desperate people with their minds chemically blown beyond anybody’s comprehension.”

> > The George Washington blog has compiled a list of quotes attesting to Celente’s accuracy as a trend forecaster.

> > “When CNN wants to know about the Top Trends, we ask Gerald Celente.” > — CNN Headline News

> > “A network of 25 experts whose range of specialties would rival many university faculties.” > — The Economist

> > “Gerald Celente has a knack for getting the zeitgeist right.” > — USA Today

> > “There’s not a better trend forecaster than Gerald Celente. The man knows what he’s talking about.” > - CNBC

> > “Those who take their predictions seriously … consider the Trends Research Institute.” > — The Wall Street Journal

> > “Gerald Celente is always ahead of the curve on trends and uncannily on the mark … he’s one of the most accurate forecasters around.” > — The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

> > “Mr. Celente tracks the world’s social, economic and business trends for corporate clients.” > — The New York Times

> > “Mr. Celente is a very intelligent guy. We are able to learn about trends from an authority.” > — 48 Hours, CBS News

> > “Gerald Celente has a solid track record. He has predicted everything from the 1987 stock market crash and the demise of the Soviet Union to green marketing and corporate downsizing.” > — The Detroit News

> > “Gerald Celente forecast the 1987 stock market crash, ‘green marketing,’ and the boom in gourmet coffees.” > — Chicago Tribune

> > “The Trends Research Institute is the Standard and Poors of Popular Culture.” > — The Los Angeles Times

> > “If Nostradamus were alive today, he’d have a hard time keeping up with Gerald Celente.” > — New York Post

> > So there you have it - hardly a nutjob conspiracy theorist blowhard now is he?

The price of not heeding his warnings could be far greater than the cost of preparing for the future now.

Storable food and gold are two good places to make a start.

The biggest benefit in being prepared is that you have peace of mind while everyone else is panicking. I lived in Southern California during the big Northridge quake and that pretty much woke me up to emergency preparedness needs. If the Big One ever strikes during my lifetime, I should have enough gas to get into Arizona as well as supplies for weeks for shelter in place. Whether it's quakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms or terrorist threats it's just common sense to have a plan and supplies. It's wisdom, not doom and gloom.

The truth is that there is really only ONE fruitcake in the whole world. It keeps being regifted year after year. If you get it this year, remember that it most likely once belonged to Johnny Carson who regifted it to Ed McMahan the next year, who regifted it to Kevin Bacon, etc. . . . That’s how “the six degrees of Kevin Bacon” was first discovered.

Ya gotta squeeze the handles before you buy them. The firm ones are good, the flimsy/ wavy ones are cheap. Also the better constructed the turn handle the better.


The usually run about 10-12 $$. But they will last many decades.

I have not assigned God any blame for actively causing any of the tragedies I cited (the Nazi Holocaust or the Holodomor in the Ukraine.) (Though, of course, a truly all-powerful God could have easily intervened and given, e.g., Hitler or Stalin a brain haemorrhage before they caused any further harm - and a truly all-loving God would most certainly have done it.)

Rather, I merely observed that hope in divine intervention is frequently disappointed, i.e., that it does no could to hope for the intercession of a benevolent God.

Regards,

Stick with us, Kid, and you’ll be so full of it (knowledge about things) that you could end up being on Jeopardy!

With all due respect....you need to climb into a Bible and find a true, Bible believing church. Your understanding of God, who and what He is and how He works in our lives, happens to be WAY off. I don’t say this to insult; it’s actually very common.

Thank you for not becoming belligerent, which is something I, as a doubter/skeptic, frequently encounter.

you need to climb into a Bible and find a true, Bible believing church. Your understanding of God, who and what He is and how He works in our lives, happens to be WAY off. I don’t say this to insult; it’s actually very common.

Again, thank you for your measured response. Incidentally, what you've said is the same thing many other acquaintances of mine (Jew, Islamic, and Jehovah's Witness, etc.) have said - that I should consult their respective Holy Scriptures. Nowadays, everyone is an apologist for God, and if there were a First Church of Wrigley's, their adherents would undoubtedly likewise advise me to read the list of ingredients on the chewing gum wrappers more closely, and with an open heart, and that I'd find there all the answers I seek.

Regards,

God’s word will speak to you; I’d never presume to speak for Him. He is a loving God, and He gives us free will. There is knowledge in His word, and I only wish you to see it, to feel it, to open your heart to His teachings. God bless you.
