Celente Predicts Revolution, Food Riots, Tax Rebellions By 2012
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Thursday, November 13, 2008
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 retai 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 b 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 an 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 lo t 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."
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF GOLD BULLION IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND AT FORT KNOX IS ONLY IN A FEW BILLION DOLLARS IF TRANSLATED INTO CURRENT MARKET VALUE. WITH A $14 TRILLION DEBT IN THE UNITED STATES, IT MEANS THAT THE DOLLAR IS NOT BACKED UP BY MUCH.
You've got it and it's not only the dollar we are going to see problems with. We're going to see all the paper currencies experience the same kind of problems. You're looking at a global market unraveling. The Russian stock market is down almost 45% from the beginning of 2008. The Chinese and Indian are all down 40% to 50% from their highs. We're going through a global crisis. We've been talking about this for a long time. I was the keynote speaker at the International Diamond Conference in New York at the Waldorf Astoria on September 8. This is what we at The Trends Journa warned: the United States is going to go into a depression and the rest of the world into different levels of deep recession and depression.
If you look at the markets today, what's going up and what's going down? The softer commodities are retreating and the only thing going up in the markets today is gold. It's coming off its lows where it's been battered down, but it's up some $17. We're still firm believers that gold and diamonds and other precious gems and metals are going to be the things to invest in as the paper currencies collapse. There are no fiscal or monetary tools that can turn this around.
What people I know are doing is taking their money and putting it into other currencies, particularly the Swiss franc, and putting it into more secure international banks, and betting against America on every level. And we know it is only going to get worse. There is nothing to turn this around. What is the Federal Reserve going to do? Print more money? We like th Swiss franc because Switzerland always seems to survive at the worst of times, including back to World War II. But the Swiss banks are having problems, too. So, you have to be careful about which banks you put your money into. But what we're saying is that people we know are hedging their bets by keeping some money in dollars and some money in Swiss francs, some money in Euros, so that if one goes down, others are up. So, you are preserving wealth. That's the game right now. It's not about making more money. It's about preserving what you have.

The price of not heeding his warnings will be far greater than the cost of preparing for the future now. Storable food and gold are two good places to make a start. Things are going to get very tough. Don't waste a dime you don't need to waste. Unless people change the way they are livin their lives, nothing is going to change. It's not about making more money. It's about preserving what you have.
