Fox Business: Gerald Celente Predicts Revolution 11/10/08

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46MEqEgdLTg

I was shocked that Fox would air such a segment.

They mentioned that before 2012:

1. America will be the first undeveloped country
2. Revolution, food shortages, riots, marches
3. Food instead of gifts for Christmas

Seriously, I was shocked. The segment lasted for more than 6 minutes. He said things like parents shouldn't send their kids to get business degrees or psychology degrees and send them to community colleges to learn a real skill. He kept implying that food will become the most important thing for us. He said the retail industry will die off completely but local markets will thrive.

The host even introduced him as a guy who's "predictions always come true".

Gerald Celente's website: http://www.trendsresearch.com/

I saw this too. He certainly spoke of some dire days, worse than the Great Depression.

2 Chronicles 7:14

That website says he predicted the US would lose the Iraq war.

Guess that means King Hussein O will remove our troops, thereby losing by forfeit.

I agree with this guy on much of this. Anyone know anything about his past predictions and accuracy?

Economic 9/11
Just as the Twin Towers collapsed from the top down, so too will the US economy from an Economic 9/11. When the high-stake speculators, banks, brokerages, and buyout firms that leveraged billions with millions get hit ... everything underneath them will turn to rubble.....

The Panic of 08
Failing banks, busted brokerages, toppled corporate giants, bankrupt cities, states in default, foreign creditors cashing out of US securities … whatever the spark, the stage is set for panic in the streets. When the giant firms fall, they'll crush the man on the street.....

Tax Revolts
It was a reason given for starting the first American Revolution and as the trends add up, it will also be a reason for starting the second. Fed up, and not willing – or able – to take it anymore, overtaxed Americans will begin the battle against politicians and bureaucrats in the fight to lower and/or repeal taxes… while demanding higher tax rates for those seen as paying too little.....

Small is Big
Unlike the years of personal prosperity and business growth long perceived a birthright … today, as America’s fortunes dwindle, its people will be forced to adjust attitudes and alter practices to compensate for the losses. Although the oncoming national downsizing trend may be a blow to egos and painful to pocketbooks, if intelligently deployed and spiritually practiced, the "Small is Big" trend can lead to more progressive advancement and greater rewards than the supersizing trend that has been consuming much of the nation.....

TechnoSlaves.com
It’s a quickly spreading worldwide epidemic that will get much worse. All colors, classes, creeds and races are addicted and they can’t break the habit. Before 2008 ends, the TechnoSlave trend will be so pervasive and so deeply embedded into the fabric of society that Old World communication styles will be seen as quaint and ridiculed as stupidly boring by the high-tech "hip."
Across borders and around the world, blinking lights of blue and red flash from human ears … electro-plastic appendages affixed to the body and controlling the mind. So self-important have society’s members become that they must be connected at all times … to be in touch and instant messaged … for work, play and to fill the voids of idle time.....

Conservation Engineers
More powerful than high tech and paying much better than the booming health care sector, we forecast that "Conservation Engineers" and "Conservation Specialists" that are skilled in providing enviro-smart solutions will be among the most handsomely rewarded and sought after professions for the next several decades.....

Bye, Bye Bucks
America’s going broke and the whole world knows it. Betting that its economy will spiral down and that the dollar will fall with it, foreign creditors are dumping dollars on the market … and even Third World street vendors don’t want to take greenbacks any longer. The further it falls, the less it’s worth. The less it’s worth, the less it buys. In the real world they call it "inflation." In America they call it "good for business." ......

Heal Yourself Health Care
Just as it took mountains of facts and bottom line realities to finally convince a consumption prone public that energy saving tools and environmentally sound practices bring bigger rewards and higher quality, the oncoming "Heal Yourself Health Care" trend will be as widely embraced and will prove equally rewarding.
Evolving over the past two decades, along with growing acceptance of seeking alternative medical options, the "Heal Yourself Health Care" trend is being driven by both the lack of money and the power of the mind.....

The Martial Artist of Trend Forecasting —The purpose of trend forecasting is to provide insights and directions in anticipation of what the future may bring – and to be prepared for the unexpected.

Gerald Celente, a second-degree black belt Close-Combat martial artist, well understands the importance of proacting rather than reacting: "The first rule of Close Combat is to attack the attacker. Action is faster than reaction. The same holds true for the future. You know the future is coming … attack it before it attacks you."

Founder of The Trends Research Institute in 1980, Gerald Celente is a pioneer trend strategist. He is author of the national bestseller Trends 2000 and Trend Tracking (Warner Books) – "Far better than Megatrends," and publisher of the internationally circulated Trends Journal newsletter.

Political Atheist — Gerald Celente is a political atheist. Unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology or conventional wisdom, Celente, whose motto is "think for yourself," observes and analyzes the current events forming future trends for what they are – not for the way he wants them to be.

Like a doctor giving a diagnosis after gathering the facts, whether or not you like the prognosis doesn’t alter the outcome, make him an optimist or pessimist – it’s simply what is. And while Celente holds a US passport, he considers himself a citizen of the world.

Celente coined the term "clean foods," in 1993 and predicted sustained growth in organic products in 1988.

When gold was at $275 per ounce in 2002, Celente said the price had bottomed and in 2004 forecast the beginning of the "Gold Bull Run." Since that time, with pinpoint accuracy, he said when, why - and how high - gold would go.

Years before Starbucks was a household name, Celente forecast the popularity of gourmet coffee and decades before Pepsi and Coke got into the water business he predicted the "Big Boom in Bottled Water."

On the geopolitical and economic fronts, Celente and The Trends Research Institute are credited with forecasting many major trends, including the collapse of the Soviet Union, the last two recessions, the dot-com meltdown, the 1997 Asian currency crisis, the 1987 world stock market crash, increased terrorism against America, "Crusades 2000," and the quagmire in Iraq … before war began.
Gerald Celente has also accurately forecast many real estate trends, including the big move to vacation spots and small towns, the growth in the second home market, a real estate "fizz" in 2005 ... plus hundreds of other social, business, fashion, consumer and entertainment trends.

This guy pays attention.

I think Benjamin Franklin hit the nail on the head for the War for Independence.

"The colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction.

The inability of the colonists to get power to issue their own money out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the PRIME reason for the Revolutionary War".

What was forgotten was that in the colonies, silver and gold coin were scarce, so the colonies developed over time their own "fiat currency" called colonial script.

The difference between colonial script and federal reserve notes, is that colonial script was issued and regulated by the colonies strictly to provide enough for commerce to sensibly be transacted. When Franklin was in Britain, he conferred with the agents of the Bank of England and when asked about the newfound prosperity of the colonies, he answered,

"This is simple. In the colonies we issue our own money. It is called colonial script. We issue it in proper demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control it's purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay to no one".

Federal Reserve Notes have through interest, bankrupted the American people, and the republic. This is causing the same situation to repeat itself again in the United States. Manipulation of the money, and ever increasing taxation will leave us destitute and impovershed. The same as it did the colonial Americans. What was their answer? To throw off despotic government and institute a government based on personal liberty. But men like Hamilton and Washington were pro central privately owned banks. So it started almost immediately after the war concluded, a push for privately owned central banking. Andy Jackson finally killed it in 1836, and it didn't come back until the Fed in 1913. But the pedullum of privately owned central banking, and non private has swung back and forth 8 times in the last 232 years.

It has put our nation, our government, and our future in the hands of a few powerful men, who by want and license use the American people, and our resources for their own imperialistic desires.

Very creditable man!!! But no one has a crystal ball! The one thing he didn't see is how Americans can and will rally together to shrink our out of control government and maybe overthrow it and change the world! But at this point im just hanging on!
