Revolution, Food Riots,
Tax Rebellions By 2012

The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union, Gerald Celente, the CEO of Trends Research Institute, is now forecasting food riots, tax rebellions and eventually a revolution in America - all within four years.

Celente, who also successfully predicted the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis and the subprime mortgage collapse, told UPI in November last year that the following year (i.e., 2008) would be known as "The Panic of 2008;" He went on to say that "giants (would) tumble to their deaths," which is exactly what we have witnessed with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and others.

Celente went on to say:

"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."

Pictures of a "ghost mall," black squatters and white squatters.

Celente warns:

"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."

Black, white and Hispanic gangs will predominate and take over whole swaths of not only the inner cities, but many suburbs as well

As conditions worsen, Celente sees the prospect of a revolt by the white middle-class as a very real possibility; he writes:

"The [white] middle classes will become a revolutionary class. There will be a [white] revolution in this country." [Please see our articles, "What Is Fascism" and "Fascism Isn't So Dead After All."]

Some, of course, will be tempted dismiss what Celente is predicting here; but before they do so, they should consider what others have to say about him"
