Gerald Celente (born November 29, 1946) is an American trend forecaster, publisher of the Trends Journal, business consultant and author who makes predictions about the global financial markets and other events of historical importance. Celente has described himself as a "political atheist" and "citizen of the world."
He has appeared as a guest on television news shows such as The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS Morning News, The Glenn Beck Show, NBC Nightly News and Russia Today.
Celente was born in The Bronx, New York City, New York. He had early political experience running a mayoral campaign in Yonkers, New York and served as executive assistant to the secretary of the New York State Senate, which Celente called the worst job he ever had.
From 1973 to 1979 Celente traveled between Chicago and Washington D.C. as a government affairs specialist.
In 1980 Celente founded The Trends Research Institute (at first called the Socio-Economic Research Institute of America), now located in Kingston, New York, publisher of the Trends Journal which forecasts and analyzes business, socioeconomic, political and other trends.

Ah, but can Gerald Celente fart the Star Spangled Banner ?
From what I read by him last year I thought it would all be over by now.
He was hyperbolic for 2009 and 2010, unfortunately.
He’s right that collapse is coming. I think he underestimates the ability of certain powers to prop up things up temporarily.
This is what he sees for 2012 ( not an endoresement by me BTW ) :
The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union is now forecasting a 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 underdeveloped 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 than 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 percent. 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 organise 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.”
So there you have it - hardly a nut job conspiracy theorist blowhard now is he?
Will the price of not heeding his warnings be far greater than the cost of preparing for the future now?
Storable food and gold are two good places to make a start.
His HINT for Mystery Trend for 2011 :
“KNOW THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU.”
(what the heck does he mean?)
Gerald Celente is often on the Alex Jones Radio show too.
And........?
ON FOX NEWS EARLY THIS YEAR, CELENTE PREDICTS a 2011 GOLD RUSH, MORE SO THAN 2010. See here :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdPKdbZnOXg&feature=related
His prediction is that Gold will hit $2,000/oz.
I am still waiting for his 2010 collapse of the commercial real estate market and the 9/11 level terrorist attack ...
If all this comes to pass, what good is gold going to do me?
He says : Anyone who wants to have a great career should learn to be a Cyber Sleuth because Cyber Wars are going to be the trend for the near future and beyond.
Question is — Where do you train to be a cyber sleuth?
If I’m thinking of creating a new currency then I’m thinking of a design for my new coins size, shape, color, material, and image to start a new money system.
I’m thinking of creating a new currency.
Therefore, I’m thinking of a design for my new coins size, shape, color, material, and image to start a new money system.
Gold should be purchased and held now only for a hedge against regular currency losing all value....not for everyday purchases or bartering. Convert what you have in the market to gold that can be stashed or buy gold now and hold it.
If the dollar crashes, it will need to either recover or be replaced. Either way, when that happens, use the gold to "buy back in" to the market(s). Call it protection of your retirement or paper assets.
So he is saying 2011 is the beginning of the end?
Do you believe him?
If I’m possessing 0 new coins, and add 0 new coins to the new money system then my treasury is 0 new coins.
I’m possessing 0 new coins, and add 0 new coins to the new money system.
Therefore, my treasury is 0 new coins.
0(coins) + 0(new coin) = 0(Treasury)
Too late - that one’s already been done.
Next you’ll be telling us you won’t pay any debts not backed in silver or gold.
RE: Do you believe him?
If by THE END, you mean — The End of the World -— NO.
If I am not a psychotic, but use the grammar and style of a psychotic, then I am a psychotic in appearance.
I use the grammar and style of a psychotic.
Hence, I am a psychotic in appearance.
Commercial RE already collapsed. but Celente never anticipated that the Feds would print more money and gave it to the banks to cover the refinancing. The RE crisis is one of the best MSM/corporate directed coverups. Ask any real estate agent on commercial RE. They will tell you what has happened. However the feds actions now props up one of Celente’s predictions, inflation due to excessive paper money printing. Get precious metals, hard assets and food. Middle class will be destroyed by inflation induced by the US Federal Reserve under the encouragement of the US Treasury/Wall Street bankers. It is our only way to pay our enormous debt in lieu of defaulting.
