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.”
