Ever wonder how Gerald Celente knows so much? He covers so many different kinds of trends like drugs, alternative health, social business, entertainment, etc. How does he and his group do it?

He says, “Well I study all day long. I read. I read a minimum of 4 hours a day. And we have over 300 different categories that we look at, and always making connections between different fields with the understanding that all things are connected. What happens is people only pick up soundbites. You think of an average person’s life. You know, they’re up at 5:30 in the morning. They’re commuting. They have family, jobs. You know, people don’t have time to go through all the data. And the people that are data interested, they tend to only look at that information with which refers to their profession or business.”

“So my saying is that opportunity misses those who view the world through the eyes of their profession. So you need to take a global view. And I’m a political atheist. I look at things the way they are, not the way I want them to be….” How true that statement is by Gerald Celente!

In the 2010 Q3 Trends Journal, it says, “Every extra buck and spare minute of time is reinvested in more knowledge, deeper vision, and intensified drive.” And that, I believe, is how Gerald Celente learns what he does.

I’ve got an example of someone who sees the world through the eyes of his soon-to-be profession, and it scares me.

I was donating plasma the other week to earn some extra money and I happened to strike up a conversation with the guy that stuck my arm with the needle.

I asked what he was doing for college, and he said he had a few more classes to take before he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Economics. Being passionate about the economy as I am, I got excited and wanted to probe him with questions to see if HE actually knew ANYTHING about why things are the way they are.

I asked, “Oh, so do you think the Federal Reserve has anything to do with how our economy is right now?”

His reply… “No, people in the Federal Reserve know what they’re doing. I trust them.”

Can you believe that?! At that very moment, I knew we were going to get another ignorant government pawn in the workforce… I mean an “employee” from a 4-year accredited educational institution, that has no idea what’s going on in the world.

I went on and asked who his professors are because I couldn’t believe what he just said. I thought I could find out why he thinks the way he does, and he said that one of them was the former CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank in California! Holy crap, no wonder doesn’t know the truth!!

I blatantly asked him, “Do you research whats going on in the world?”

His reply… “Only when I have to for class.”

Seriously, does this make ANY of you sick like it does me? The ignorance of this soon-to-be college graduate, being taught by a former CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank in California, just about to enter the workforce… what a somber thought. If you want to get educated on the Federal Reserve, watch the video interview with the author of “The Creature From Jekyll Island“, G. Edward Griffin.

Going on with an interview with Gerald Celente. He says that “current events form future trends”. And when all else fails to make things better for the economy, the trend is that the government takes us to war. The “bailout bubble” that’s going on is just one of the desperate attempts to make things better – or to save a dying country – or to bring back to life the walking dead.

Remember the movie “Iron Man” from 2008? Seeing wires running out of his chest, Tony Stark says, “What the hell did you do to me?” Yinsen says in reply, “What I did was save your life. That is an electromagnet, connected to a car battery. I removed as much shrapnel from your chest as I could, but there are still some pieces left. I’ve seen plenty of injuries like that. In my village we call those casualties ‘the Walking Dead’, because they take about a week to reach your heart.”

Just like that scenario, the United States has “shrapnel” heading towards the heart. The “real estate bubble”, the “dot com bubble”, the “bailout bubble”… these appear to be attempts to keep the shrapnel from piercing America’s heart. And when each attempt fails, we go to war and squander natural resources. And the shrapnel gets a little closer.

Gerald Celente elaborates on bailouts a little more. When he talks about bailouts, he doesn’t only mean stimulus checks coming in the mail and businesses getting free money. He includes Hillary Clinton recently going to Pakistan to give them more money so they can keep waging the so-called war against the Taliban, and other examples.

The United States government has already given Pakistan many billions of dollars, and will continue to use “weasel words” when explaining why they’re still sending troops over to places like Iraq, when Obama promised to pull them out long ago.

“Weasel words” are used by advertisers around the world to emotionally enhance, brighten or cleverly package anything and everything, and the government does the same thing. Think about it. If an advertiser said, “Buy this stupid rock from us because your child will love it”, would you buy it? What if they used weasel words and said, “A fantastic new pet has hit stores nation-wide, and parents are storming the isles to get it! For a limited time only, brighten up your children’s eyes by giving them the popular prehistoric ‘Stone-Age Pet’ while supplies last! Instructions included.”

Now, what if the government said, “We are an occupying force in other countries and are walking around their main streets with guns, telling them what to do”, instead of saying, “Our primary objective is to help establish a peaceful democracy in Iraq, and its just taking a bit longer than we’d like.” What would pacify you? What would keep your mouth shut and keep you believing that the government is just trying to help a broken country?

The government talks like this all the time! Click here and listen to more interviews with Gerald Celente about the crash of 2010.
