This May Become A Nightmare!

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

What would be the reason for revolts/civil war? By 2012, we would already have an election in 2010. If things will get as bad as this guy appears to be predicting, why would we not have a change in control of Congress in 2010?

One group of people want more for free and the other group is saying "Enough is enough."

Obama's promises and the expectations he has created divide most of the population into two camps. The people he promised he would give more wealth, property and privilege TO and the people he is going to take wealth, property and privilege FROM.

In the first group there is a is a big, BIG, expectation that Obama is going to be the Magic Negro, that he will wave a magic wand and give them everything they want along with plenty they haven't even thought of - remember the woman on the TV news swooning over him paying for her house and filing her car up with gasoline? When he can't turn them into millionaires overnight they aren't going to be happy. Especially if the recession sets in really hard and things get worse, not better, and food itself becomes scarce. If they don't get what he promised them, they will start taking it themselves.

On the other side of the coin are people who are fed up with racial preferences, demands for "gay rights", and seeing their hard earned money being handed out to others. The people who work hard just to pay their own way and still fall behind are getting tired of giving and getting less and less in return. When Obama has to cut services and raise taxes to confiscate and redistribute more of their wealth to people who haven't earned it it won't take long for tempers to rise.

As far as hoping for change in the next elections - do you see much difference in politicians and the political parties themselves? Both parties are loaded with crooked, big spending, big government politicians who use the US Constitution as TP.

Both parties pander to minorities and special interest groups while bureaucrats kill our holidays, prohibit the mention of Christmas, force homosexualism on us and our children, pay for muslim footbaths in schools and place the interests of illegals over those of citizens and taxpayers.

And both parties are pursuing socialism and wealth redistribution - the democrats want to take more taxpayer money and hand it out to their special interest voting blocs while the republicans are already taking taxpayer money and handing it out to multimillionaires.

The greatest jump into socialism in our history has just been pushed through by a republican president.

Congress has an approval rating of about 15% and the country is falling apart but republicans and democrats both spend their time scheming to send hundreds of billions to other countries, to spend more money on pork, hand out subsidies to financial supporters, to bypass immigration laws and hand out free medical care to illegals when we can't afford to visit a doctor ourselves. They peddle their influence and their pork projects to the highest bidders and treat themselves like royalty.

Both congress and the courts ignore the constitution and are scheming on ways to bypass our laws so they can place Obama in the White House without verifying his qualifications and so Hillary can be confirmed as Secretary of State in spite of a law disqualifying her appointment.

The US has become a pressure cooker and the first race riot or outbreak of mass violence by disappointed Obama supporters will be enough to blow the top off. Gun sales and ammo sales are setting new records and if you go to a gun show you will see that it is working class and middle class whites doing 99% of the buying.

Changing one brand of crooked politician for the other brand every two to four years isn't going to relieve the pressure this time around.
