So if Celente is right about 2010, what will that mean for the average American? Celente says we're going back to basics, making do with less and adopting the following mantra: "Waste not, want not. Use it up wear it out. Make it due, due without."
On his Website, Celente offers the following predictions, further discussed in the accompanying video:
Neo-Survivalism: "In 2010, survivalism will go mainstream," Celente writes. "Unemployed or fearing it, foreclosed or nearing it, pensions lost and savings gone, all sorts of folk who once believed in the system have lost their faith. Motivated not by worst-case scenario fears but by do-or-die necessity, the new non-believers, unwilling to go under or live on the streets, will devise ingenious stratagems to beat the system, get off the grid (as much as possible), and stay under the radar."
Depression Uplift: "As times get tougher and money gets scarcer, one of the hottest new money-making, mood-changing, influence-shaping trends of the century will soon be born; we forecast that this will be "Elegance" in its many manifestations," he opines. "The trend will begin with fashion and spread through all the creative arts, as the need for beauty trumps the thrill of the thuggish. A strong, do-it-yourself aspect will make up for reduced discretionary income, as personal effort provides the means for affordable sophistication."
More Here...
People struggling to survive wont give a damn about fashion, elegance and the arts. Folks in the know want high speed rail, energy efficient houses and cars; home gardens, and people with "fix and repair" skills, etc. Hair and nail salons will drop off as more do stuff themselves. Good public transportation is high on the list, making our own products local, etc. I agree with Celente on the economy. We've got to start making our stuff in this country again or we're doomed forever.
ReplyDeleteYeah the fashion stuff is wishful idiocy. The "survivalism" stuff - surely true. But unfortunately I'm quite certain that Americans will turn their weapons and fury against each other in their bid for survival. We are a heavily armed, very obese and spoiled, very divided nation now. We are a powder keg. It could very well be that the upcoming chaos will leave the Civil War in the dust in gore. It won't be nearly as well organized, it will be constant guerilla action within each community.
ReplyDeleteThe elite are masters of fear and turning sheeple against one another. They do that with everyone that they wish to completely dominate. Turning the sects in Iraq against one another was preplanned from day one. Get the people to kill each other, save ammo. Kick back and watch. That is what they will do in the good ol USA.
ReplyDeleteThat is why socializing with your neighbors is portrayed as dangerous and foolhardy. Who knows, he might be a serial rapist or terrorist in hiding.
Paranoia and mistrust is farmed by them. They want us scared of one another, and locked and loaded, trembling and fearful.
Form and function over fashion.
ReplyDeleteNeeds over wants.
Eat to live rather than live to eat.
"Live and let live" will change into "Shoot first, ask questions later".
Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it. If we don't get our shit together, we are all about to be the "Hatfields and the McCoys".

Oh well I guess it beats going out listening to crappy gospel music in some rest home. Go out the Klingon way! hahaha
ReplyDelete10:29 --- BINGO!!!
ReplyDeleteThey have us fighting ourselves so much we do not bother to look at what causes our problems and go after them instead of each other.
Hard to believe that people fall for this over and over again.
Divided, obese, heavily armed and spoiled...Damn that's really sad but true...That is a perfect description of my co-workers who are all cops...BUT you forgot UNPREPARED.
ReplyDeleteThat's where the fun begins...Sadly enough I've mentally prepared myself "Just In Case." I've tried to get people to prep in a small non-chalant way...Keep a lil extra food and water...But all they've done is laugh...Talk about how if anything happens the Government will help...Seriously.
So I stopped and just wish them the best if things get weird...I hope it doesn't get bad but honestly part of me does...We deserve it and the only way to clean the system is to crash it...Prob is we'll crash with it...Even Preppers.
Well look at the sheeple clammering for more airport security to combat al-CIA-duh. The sheep are brain dead simpletons.
ReplyDeleteSo many have sacrificed so much to give us what little freedoms we have (not to be confused with the current 'fighting for our freedoms' horseshit) and the sheeple are not only willing to give it all away to the Oligarchs, they insist on it.
Underwear boy shows up right on que so Yemen can be blamed. We have 800-1100 soldiers on the border of Yemen ready to go stomping in beforehand. Underwear boy is escorted onto the plane, unsearched and with no passport by a cia suit.
Just how dumb are Americans? Really dumb.
Yeah, I'm the same way. I'm terrified for my childrens and my skins. But at the same time we truly deserve what we likely have coming. We are the most obese, most heavily armed, most superstitious, most illiterate, most lazy (average 5+ hours of TV watching a day!) - people in the industrialized world.
ReplyDeleteWe truly have it coming to us. The one problem is, we also still have thousands of nukes! And I can see us throwing a big tempertantrum as things decay . . . "if, if, if WE can't be #1 --- NOBODY CAN!".
And heck we are so nutty now, a good chunk of us think it would be just fine to nuke the planet, because it just means Jesus is coming back, right?!
@10:44 AM
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are upset with your choice of president. I am just curious, how many times you need to elect a president before you guys in America figure out that it does not matter who you elect, he is going to be controlled by the Bilderbergers and banksters and he is going to be serving them. Take Woodrow Wilson, for example. And those who refuse to serve, get killed very quickly. Why do you even bother to show up on the election day? You guys in America believe in your “democracy” just like kids in Santa Klaus. Guess what? Your are in for a very bad surprise.
I agree with Celente and he's not the only trends/financial guy saying this. People need to wake up! Stock up some food and learn how to garden and barter.
ReplyDeleteWe have a farm in an uncrowded region of America, we have horses to plow our land instead of tractors. We literally could survive fine if the rest of humanity suddenly disappeared. Yeah -- lots of pain the the a** issues would appear. But we'd make it.
ReplyDeleteBut its not collapse that scares us, its the VIOLENCE which is certain to follow collapse. Empires *always* eventually collapse, witness the Soviet Union recently. However, historically the citizens have always been more self reliant than Americans are now. Here in America, if the grocery stores and gas station are empty? They are going to turn to their guns.
I think its going to become a horror show unlike any in history. But I hope I'm wrong!
11:37 you will need to remember the people that ignored and/or ridiculed you saying that they should prepare.
ReplyDeleteRemember that they made a choice. When the come crawling it will be difficult to turn them away, but turn them away you must.
You will need whatever hard resources you have established for yourself and your family. You need to establish a plan on action now so when SHTF you are calm, rational, and collected.
Fact is, if you live in a suburb or a city. You are screwed. All the guns the world will only stave off your fate. If you have food/assets that others need -- eventually you will be outgunned.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the ride.
The government gets what it wants. If it wanted all guns seized that would have happened long ago. Very easy to do. Just stage some events. Get the sheeple to blame all gun owners, start collecting.
ReplyDeleteThe main reason we have not seen guns taken away en masse is because of what has been said here. They are counting on us using them against each other.
They are correct. Then they roll in and clean up the remains. Classic strategy.
Please don't think that I am ant-gun, far from it. But the above is true.
Most Americans don't have more than three days food. You don't have to direct assault an 'enemy' that has no supply lines. Just kick back and enjoy the show.
1:36 the same can be said for the rural people. You have food, a farm, whatever? That means that you too are a target. In fact, a more favorable target.
ReplyDeleteNo guns will help you. People have no idea what tech they are up against. Better to APPEAR to have no resources anyone wants. When you are on a farm, that is not possible. All such places will be targeted and seized.
Yes, the city sucks big time. But don't be fooled into believing that you are safe because you live down a dirt rode somewhere away from it all.
We are all in this together. Help and caring for one another is our only chance.
The greatest force against you are the sheeple. Without the ignorant masses, the Oligarchs wouldn't stand a chance. We outnumber them by the millions.
ReplyDeleteIgnorance as to who your enemies really are will be the downfall.
There is a tiny window of window of opportunity to learn truth that is outside of their control, the internet. Most squander it.
As Jordan Maxwell recently said, people do not want to hear truth. They want to hear what they want to hear. So every lie, no matter how transparent, is greeted with open arms.
Are the people going to listen to a Goldman Sacks puppet like B.O. or a Gerald Celente? That answer is obvious.
1/2 of the American sheeple still believe the laughable official story of 9/11. That is evidence enough that we are screwed.
ReplyDeletemaybe so but we are good looking sheeple in our color co-ordinated Abercromie & Fitch outfits
ReplyDeleteby golly.
better go catch idol now.
1:47 - you make assumptions.
ReplyDeleteNot only do we appear to be a hard scrabble farm (outsiders don't see the computer lab hidden among the junky buildings. A lab which will close when the grid goes down) - but we are armed. And have already arranged for things like: a boardering property with a high house and deck that can see most of our property? He was a military trained sniper 15 years ago, and we will be trading him food for a lookout. And we have other agreements like this too.
We don't live in fear, we live in eager excitement at watching this absurd obese/ADD/illiterate/superstitious/lazy nation collapse!
Sure, there is some worry at the possibilities. But none of us can change that. We WILL be trying to stay safe by offering food to people first, instead of bullets. But once your warm and fuzzy new-age (rhymes with "sewage") "love everybody no matter what stuff" has you swimming in a pool of your own blood? We'll still be here most likely.
Enjoy the ride suburban boy.
2:44 It will take TPTB at least ten minutes to take you out if that is what they decide to do. I have no fear of death or what is coming, but no delusions either.
ReplyDeleteLuckily SIMON is still on the show tonight. Ordering my giant pizza now.
ReplyDeleteSIMON's new show is X-Factor. It will be better because people of all ages can compete. Auditions are live too.
ReplyDeleteIs everyone ready for tonight??! Tune in!
As Sarah Connor so apply put it "you are never safe."
ReplyDeleteWe all have it very good for now and should appreciate the good times while they last. Others are not so lucky.
ReplyDeleteHaiti just got clobbered with a 7.0 earthquake.
AI is on opposite Biggest Loser? I prefer Biggest Loser, you know. . the underdog.
ReplyDeleteI heard you can get free coupons at KFC if you can name the last 3 biggest losers.
ReplyDeleteI am so like totally excited dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:04 boy. None of our fates are certain. But growing our own food, being self-sufficient -- having a community who will rally around us to help us keep feeding them? I'll bet our odds are better than yours kiddo!
ReplyDeleteAs far as "no fear of death" -- thats good. McJesus coming back for you?
This Sept. we moved into a new place that has a kick ass yard and garden, and for the first time in my life I finally have a cold room for all I grow.
ReplyDeleteIt is right next to the cop shop though in our small town of 3400. People think we are safer, I say NO WAY. Two weeks after we moved in some drunks smashed beer bottles on our driveway by trying to get the cops drive.
I worry what could happen because we are only an hour outside a large city and there has been an increase in crime in our area by transients looking for a score. Plus there is an overly abundant supply of seniors (80-90 age range)that would be of no help.
I guess I am just wondering outloud the "what if's" and what could happen with cop shops if things get bad.
Local police will get wiped out. Target practice. They will be replaced with military.
ReplyDeleteThe cops themselves will be preying on self-sufficient folks. Being definately the non-gardening types!
ReplyDeleteBut, to argue that therefore even TRYING to be self-sufficient is therefore MORE dangerous? Complete idiocy. The smart prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.
Hics with guns. No hope.
ReplyDeleteWilliam Hung might make a guest appearance tonight. Oh how I pray to Jesus that it is true.
ReplyDeleteSo sick of all the Jesus haters mates! I don't grasp why all the yanks seem to think it humuerous and funny speak to joke about him, it is sad chaps to do so. Even in Oz rarely is his name poked fun of, and we are all ex cons,HAHA! Good day, keep some food stuffs on hand blokes and best of luck!
ReplyDeleteI love ozzies, but why do you believe in invisible sky fairies, I thought you blokes were smarter than than??
ReplyDeleteMany people posting here sound like superstitious nut jobs. Thinking that people are going to "kill eachother" and "go crazy." Sure, that might happen in small inner cities, but not in other communities like the burbs. We should probably learn to protect ourselves from roaming gangs coming from the cities though, I agree with that.
ReplyDeleteLaura, I think when Celente is referring to "elegance," he isn't referring to fancy stuff or fancy clothes; he's referring to a change in the way we present ourselves in society.
ReplyDeleteHe says value will reign, therefore, people won't go to the sore in flip flops and shorts but may actually try to dress as best they can; he says people will lose a lot of weight because "BIG" will become offensive as bigger houses and bigger cars become a symbol of our past.
THIS is what Celente means.
Anybody have any idea when this year the collapse will likely happen.
ReplyDelete^^^^ it will happen today
ReplyDeleteby may I believe
