			Trend forecaster, renowned for being 
			accurate in the past, says that America will cease to be a developed 
			nation within 4 years, crisis will be “worse than the great 
			depression” | 
	
	
	 
	
	
	
	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.
	
	Celente Predicts Revolution, Food Riots, Tax Rebellions By 2012 
	
		
		“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 
- 
			
			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 
	Defense 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.”

	So there you have it - hardly a nutjob 
	conspiracy theorist blowhard now is he? 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.
