Gerald Celente was interviewed by Tony Cruise on July 27, and was asked in effect, “What are some of the things the United States is looking at this year, economically?”

His reply gave an insight on how scared Ben Bernanke really is concerning the future. He said, “… Ben Bernanke, the Fed Chairman, came out this week and said, ‘Its unusually uncertain.’ How could you come out with a stupid statement like that?… What individual, if you’re talking to someone, is like, ‘Its unusually uncertain’? Only these white shoe boys get away with that kind of lingo. That means that things are gonna get really bad, and they know it. And they’re conning people in this whole real estate thing with this $8,000 tax break…. They con people into buying into a failing market by giving them a little bonus to do it, and it costs all the American tax payers.”

“This is not recovery. You look at the numbers, you look at the real estate numbers, you look at the unemployment numbers – the stimulus money is running out, and the economy is going to decline. By the end, by the time the clock hits 2011, we are saying the Crash of 2010 will have happened. Everyone will have recognized there was no recovery. It was a cover up of digital money printed out of thin air, backed by nothing and producing nothing.”

Those are some pretty bold statements by Gerald Celente, but you know what? He’s absolutely right. Think of all the attempts the government has made to “stimulate” the economy. One in particular was when they offered the $8,000 tax break for the whole real estate thing earlier this year and last year. Why did they do it? What did they accomplish? Sure, my brother-in-law bought a few guns and paid off a car with his $8,000, but as a whole, what did it accomplish? It screwed the tax payers, that’s what happened!

When you use government money, you use tax payer’s money. Whether it be stimulus checks, unemployment checks, tax break checks, etc etc… all those checks are essentially OUR money. If you trace exactly where our income taxes go, you find that part of it eventually goes to government stimulus efforts. And when they can’t afford their own stimulus efforts, they print up digital money and send it out to people in the form of a check.

Money just can’t be printed out of thin air, people. When it is, the value of the dollar decreases, and you can’t purchase anything at the same price you once could before. Your money loses its value. Everyone and everything is affected by it.

I heard just the other day of someone sending back their stimulus check. Why would they do that? Its free money, right? Wrong. I give a standing ovation to that person who sent it back. When the next set of checks get shipped out, my wife and I plan on sending ours back, too, because we don’t want to be a part of it. We don’t want to be educating people about how bad government bailouts are, and then use that money. We aren’t going to.

So I advise you, please, send back the stimulus check that you’re going to get in the mail. Why? Because if you do, you’re taking a stand and not playing their game. You’re saying to the government, “NO! I will not be conned. I will not be one who gives in and plays a part in inflation. I care about my children’s future. I care about my grandchildren’s future.”

Anyway, Tony Cruise went on to ask what all this stuff is going to lead to, according to his (Gerald Celente) research. Gerald said, “Well, you’re gonna see much higher unemployment. Crime unfortunately is going to increase. We’re looking at some very very serious, a very serious future. And they’re draining the treasury. This is perfect empire decline, even to the point where when you look at the last empire that declined, the former Soviet Union, the ‘super power’ that was the U.S. competitor – We’re even sipping from the same final Afgan straw.”

“You don’t spread your resources world-wide as you’re declining internally. Its written in the history books, chapter and verse. So we’re doing the same thing…. Bring back the manufacturing base. We have to make things. Whoever came up with this big lie that the United States can’t compete in the world market are the people that are raping it, that have sent production overseas to slave labor totalitarian regimes like China. And then mark the product up and bring it back!”

I completely agree. The United States CAN compete in the world market. We’ve just got to get the losers out of power, and out of our way. Unfortunately, the losers are addicts to power and don’t give a rat’s butt for those who could really make America great.

Concerning the United State Military, as it is right now, Gerald Celente put it in perspective by saying, “You want to put things into perspective? This is the United States Military that, you know, defeated the Germans at the Battle of the Bulge, planted the American flag through the heart of the Japanese at Iwo Jima, and we can’t beat a bunch of guys with no shoes on? Come on.”

“So the whole thing is a racket…. So we’re gonna keep draining the treasury. We’re gonna lose in Afghanistan. Things are gonna worsen in Pakistan. More terrorist probability in 2010, unless this direction is changed. The people that are going to lead us, as I said, they can’t win at anything. They can’t fix BP, they can’t fix Katrina, education.”

“The latest poll came out (confidence poll) in institutions by Gallup. Only 11 percent of the people have confidence in congress. And I said to myself, ‘That high? I guess those 11% that are working for congress were getting paid off by them’”

So much money being spent for a war we can’t win… sad on both parts, the financial part and the losing part. I loved how Gerald Celente elegantly described a few of our former military victories, and how now we can’t beat a bunch of guys with no shoes on. Come on!

As always, if you feel the need to prepare for the future, my highest recommendation is to buy a survival seed bank for yourself, your parents or loved ones. Don’t buy useless birthday or Christmas presents – get them something practical. Something they will be forever grateful for. Buy a survival seed bank.

Hey everyone. Before I get into Ecuador’s past hyperinflation, take a look at the video in this article about Zimbabwe’s hyperinflation. When I was younger, I lived in Quito, Ecuador from 1995 – 1997. That country is a third-world country and struggles significantly. In fact, they’ve had to re-write their Constitution over 12 times so far. Sad!

Within 5 years, Ecuador’s currency value dropped more than 1,000 percent!

• In 1995… 2,300 Sucres = 1 US Dollar
• In 1997… 9,000 Sucres = 1 US Dollar
• In 2000… 25,000 Sucres = 1 US Dollar

Can you imagine if that type of value-drop happened in America?? The truth is, it can. And in my opinion, it will. We’ve slowly been building up to it, and the time will come when it will happen very quickly, just like Ecuador and Zimbabwe.

Do you know what aided Ecuador’s currency collapse? The former President, Abdala Bucaram. Guess who aided Zimbabwe’s currency collapse (at one point, it cost over a billion dollars just to buy 3 eggs)… the former President, Robert Mugabe. Who has been aiding our currency value-drop? Our President, Barack Obama, and many other past and present political figures.

You may not be feeling the value-drop just yet, but watch the news. Better yet, watch first-hand witnesses on youtube. Sure, you may be thinking, “Youtube? Come on. That’s not legit.” But guess what… mainstream media isn’t showing you all of the truth. Its holding back. Its biased.

You need hear how the cost of food is rising. You need to learn that the Obama Administration is spending Billions and Billions of dollars (that it doesn’t have). Healthcare costs are rising twice as fast as inflation… Etc etc etc. You need to hear these things, and educate yourself.

In February 2010, The Obama Administration set a national historical record by spending over $220 Billion in one single month.

The Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld admitted in 2001, “According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions”. And Jim Minnery, Defense Finance and Accounting Service, said regarding a mere $300 Million, “We know it’s gone. But we don’t know what they spent it on”.

So we’ve got a President who is spending like crazy, and workers at the pentagon who can’t track over 2 Trillion dollars-worth of spending. WHO GETS TO PAY THAT DEBT? Certainly not President Obama. You do. I do. Every working, taxable American does.

The thing is, those trillions of dollars never existed in the first place! So where did it come from? The way the government gets money to spend is by printing more of it and borrowing from other countries like China. And that’s for “spending” money.

Now, how does the government get the money to pay the national 13 trillion dollar debt AND the annual interest that the debt accrues? Taxes, and printing more money and borrowing. Other large countries have stopped lending money to the United States because they can see what’s happening and how we’ll never be able to pay it back.

The more money the government prints and creates out of thin air, the less value each current piece of paper money and electronic number has. If you have 10 bucks, and billions of dollars get created out of thin air, the cost of living increases just to keep up with the fake value of the new money.

Say 1,000 people have $1, and each can buy a candy bar with that $1. If the government creates 1 billion dollars and sends it out to those 1,000 people, they each just became millionaires out of thin air. What will happen to the cost of that $1 candy bar? It will be sold for $1,000,000 because realistically it is still only worth $1.

The movie character called “Syndrome” from The Incredibles, put it best: “And when everyone is super, no one will be”. When those 1,000 people think they’re millionaires from that government handout, they’re not because they still only have $1-worth of money and can still only buy 1 candy bar.

That crazy shift in money’s value I just described is called Inflation. That scenario’s inflation rate was crunched into an instant inflation just to help you comprehend it more easily.

But how fast will our nation’s inflation rate hit us? Over the last 50 years, everything you can think of has increased in price. Will it take another 50 years to see current prices double? Well let me ask you this: What was the national debt 60 years ago? Less than 260 Billion dollars. Now? Just about 13 Trillion dollars. Most of that incredible increase happened in the last 20 years.

And with a national budget of more than 1 Trillion dollars in 2010, and another trillion dollars in 2011, the government can’t save us. This nation is a “dead man walking”. And each month that goes by, the government tries to do something and spend even MORE money just to keep us afloat a little longer.

When the cost of living increases…

When the cost of living increases but your paychecks don’t, the real value of your paycheck decreases. You find it harder to pay bills. You become tight with money. Not just you, but everyone else around you. So the government decides to send you a few hundred bucks in the mail to help you out a little (sometimes called an “economic stimulus package”) specifically so you will spend it so your local businesses feel a little better because hey, they’re prices have increased and sales have decreased.

When Americans get stimulus money from the government, its because the government is creating money out of thin air and wants to keep Americans floating just a little bit longer before the real financial tsunami hits and sinks the nation’s ship.

When inflation hits us hard instead of little by little like it has been for the last 50 years, will you be ready?

Say you have a savings of $500,000 and you have just retired and have no job. You decide to live on your $500,000. Right now in the year 2010, you’d be fine. But, in just a short while, the cost of living is going to skyrocket (due to government spending, creating money out of thin air and taxes, and other things) and what you normally could buy for cheap is going to cost a fortune.

Therefore, your hefty savings of $500,000 will not last very long because of how much you have to spend just to survive. Your $500,000 will no longer be worth $500,000. It will be worth much less.

The thing is, hardly anyone $500,000 saved up. So people have retirement plans and will use social security and medicare, right? Well guess what, there IS NO MONEY in the Federal Reserve anymore and about 70 million “baby-boomers” are about to retire. Whats going to happen to them when the government can’t payout as promised in their policies?

More money printed, more taxes, more debt. Costs of living increases, value of paychecks and money decrease… Inflation! Rapid, super inflation.

When all hell breaks loose and hits the fan…

What happens when you have a hard time paying your bills? Your spouse gets a job, right? Or you take on another job, you put the bills on your credit card, you ask your family to help, you appeal to your religious group, you “get laid off” from work and file for unemployment benefits… the list can go on and on.

What happens when you can’t pay your bills, not just find it difficult? I had my own financial dilemma a few years because I couldn’t pay some monthly payments towards my own debt. And let me tell you, that was the worst hell I’ve ever been in so far. Now that I’m almost out of debt, I can sleep at night – for now, at least.

If you feel the need to prepare for a rainy day and a broken nation, I want you to invest in a survival seed bank. Get one for yourself, and get one for your parents and siblings. Stop buying useless birthday presents and grab something really meaningful and practical. Thanks for reading.

Hey everyone, this is Jorgen Jensen. You may have recently seen the video that the National Inflation Association put out the other day about what would happen if hyperinflation hit America. If you haven’t seen it, I really recommend watching it.

If you have seen it, you’ll remember that at the end, they recommend buying seeds. Seeds and water. While water is really cheap right now, you can get it at any place that you want really that sells bottled water. But what about seeds? Where do you buy seeds?

I do not recommend buying seeds from Walmart. I got some just last year and tried planting them and they were meager little plants that hardly did anything. So don’t buy seeds at Walmart. You want REAL survival seeds. Seeds that are non-hybrid non-gmo. You want heirloom seeds, a good variety of seeds that do well.

The place that I get my seeds from is the link at the top-right of the homepage of this website. Click on it so you can buy your seeds. The seeds, they come in what is called a “survival seed bank”. Its a plastic container that has a lot of seeds in it. There are 22 varieties of seeds. A lot of vegetables. They yeild well and grow strong. They grow fast with the “super start solution” that is included.

As they’re package and if you seal it up, if you keep it at a good temperature, those seeds can last 15-20 years. If you buy seeds in little paper baggies, they wont last that long. Moisture and little bugs will get them. So you need seeds that are packaged properly.

Again, click on the link at the top-right of this site’s homepage, so you can buy your survival seeds. We all know whats going to happen to the future economy of America. In fact, its already happening right now, little by little. But when its a full-blown explosion, people are going to go crazy.

Seeds are going to be valuable. Not just for growing and eating your own food, but for TRADING and BARTERING. Because whats the number one thing people absolutely need to survive? Food and Water. And Seeds provide food.

So do yourself a favor, click on the link at the top-right of this site’s homepage and buy your survival seeds.
