Gerald Celente Predictions for 2010, Trends Research Institute

I think Celente is on the money. But it is worth considering the government also reads his trend reports and does act to try and stop these things from happening. We saw this in 2009 with the government unleashing lots of new stimulus to get the xmas shopping boosted. I suspect the predictions of war will not occur the way we imagine. Obama has rebranded war and thus it can now take place quietly, in the background with most people not paying attention. Most people are now in a 'can't see it, don't care' mindset. 

The Trends Institute sends out quarterly issues of the newsletter, and emails every now and then. I think it it still worth the money and look forward to each issue.

We seem to have a much different standard for China than we do for any other country in the world.  China's going to be a "pariah nation" because it sells things?  This article explains the problem in America and it isn't due to anyone but Americans themselves who even today (that includes Celente) refuse to look in the mirror.www.kitco.com/ind/schoon/jan042010.html  excerpt: The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government—a state of affairs that more typically describes emerging markets, and is at the center of many emerging-market crises. If the IMF’s staff could speak freely about the U.S., it would tell us what it tells all countries in this situation: recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform. And if we are to prevent a true depression, we’re running out of time. The above words prefaced The Quiet Coup, an article in The Atlantic Magazine, May 2009, written by Simon Johnson, in 2007 and 2008 chief economist at the IMF and currently a professor of economics at MIT. Johnson contends that a coup has occurred in America, that a financial oligarchy has taken control of the nation’s affairs and that America’s situation will soon worsen unless the power of that oligarchy is broken.Johnson’s article is one that should be read by all; but, unfortunately, it will not as denial is preferable to the truth, especially in America where citizens would rather believe themselves free than realize they are not. Nonetheless, for those interested, Johnson’s article is at www.theatlantic.com/doc/200905/imf-advice. In actuality, the financial oligarchy seized control in America long before the current crisis. The actual coup took place in 1913; and, by virtue of that coup and the consequent consolidation of its power, America’s demise was set in motion. Almost one hundred years later, bled dry by the financial interests who seized power in 1913, America’s fall is almost complete. The coup of 1913 gave the banking interests who profited from the rise and fall of England’s empire access to the vast productivity of America; and like England before it, America’s wealth would be completely drained by the banker’s debt-based banknotes in less than a century.  

What's astounding is most people (at least those here in America) believe the Orwelian jargon "war is pre-emptive peace" "recession is prosperity" "draconian courts leads to freedom and liberty" "censorship is free speech" the list is practically endless these days.  We could end up going through, in many ways, one of the worst periods in history and the general public be oblivious to it.  

The "general populace" are ignorant by choice. Their willingness to remain apathetic and "entertained" will be their undoing. A country that loves "entertainment" more than reality will go the way of Rome.The foreign policy of the USA is dictated by a small Middle Eastern country which poses as our ally but in reality is a financial albatross on the already burdened American taxpayer.

Years have taught that self interest is the only true motivator. If nations sell items so cheaply it costs American jobs, if people from other countries take American jobs, if foreign tariffs prevent American export, America will seek its' own interests. It didn't matter when America had jobs and money. Now it does.

I spoke to Gerald Celente via a phone call.  I paid for the interview. I felt that it was well worth the money.   It was right before the crash in the fall of 2008. After our phone call,  I pulled everything out of the market and put some into gold.  It was a great move.   But, now what?  My "financial advisor" (who didn't agree with me selling all of the stock at the time) is now pressuring me to buy bonds and annuities.  I'm just sitting and doing nothing, but I also missed out on the move from dow 6500 to 10000.  If Mr. Celente is wrong about the coming collapse in the coming years, I'm really in trouble because I would have missed out on the rise in the stocks.   Any advise?
