Describing it as a developing story, Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier just reported that President Barack Obama was briefed today about “the next big financial shoe to drop” — commercial real estate. It dovetails perfectly with what I reported nine months ago in a post, Trendwatcher: ‘Crash of ‘09? Will Be Worst Ever", and portends of more radical financial shenanigans — bailouts, stimulus packages, etc. — coming out of Washington, D.C.

In that post, I cited the bold predictions made by Gerald Celente, founder of the Trends Research Institute, who tracks all kinds of trends, including the economy. During an appearance on The Glenn Beck Show Feb. 10, Celente made the bold prediction that an upcoming “Crash of 2009? is going to be worse than the Crash of ‘29 — and worse than any crash before.

While seeking more detailed information about Celente, I found a two-part recording of an appearance he made on Los Angeles radio station KFI-AM 640’s John and Ken Show Feb. 6. Below are the highlights — or, in reality, the lowlights — that lie ahead, according to Celente:

* The commercial real estate market will collapse;

* People will be unable to pay their credit cards;

* Crime will increase as people who feel they have nothing left to lose will begin to commit acts of violence;

* People will begin to revolt against taxes; and

* We’re going into a depression, not a recession.

Buckle up, America! Looks like we’re in for a bumpy ride.

Gerald Celente has been a frequent guest on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, and has been making the commericial real estate crash claim for about three years now. He may be right, but his dire claims aren’t something new.

We evil "speculators" have known about this for over a year.

Ka-friggin-boom!

As I perused the post I was thinking, “This guy needs to listen to Gerald Celente.” Then I clicked on your video. :)

Will this be before or after the second mortgage debacle on over-appraised homes is discussed and addressed?

Commercial real estate has already been marked down 50% by everyone, before any sales or refinancings even happen. So it is already baked into the pie.

The more they promote this kind of nonsense, the more likely it is to happen.

Celente’s time table is off. He admits that. Not to detract from his trends analysis and prediction, he is stumped by the fact that the American people are very patient compared to the European farmers and workers who would be in the streets by now. He also points out that many of his predictions are delayed because the government and Wall Street are using very creative financial schemes to delay the inevitable. This is the “wild card” in his analysis. Good news for us, is the delay means we have more time to prepare our family, street and small town for the coming crisis (think Sarah Connors, John Connors, now it is our chance freepers to be the heros of the future). Remember, when Western Rome fell, alot of average Roman foot soldiers who would have died as nobodies became the new feudal lords that protected the locals.

I swear I am seeing ghost towns appear overnight because of the empty shuttered buildings that are growing more common.

Another stage of the destruction of America appears to be proceeding according to Obamas plans.

My breaking point may happen when my income is taken away from me to pay for socialized health care.
