What do you think... should the US government set up a legit government institution that is geared toward following current trends and making forecasts for the future of the nation? If there is one, why aren't they coming out and telling us the truth? If there isn't one, I think its because they want zero accountability for negative outcomes.

But the more that time goes on, the more you can see that the government lies to us. Obama himself has broken many promises he made before he was sworn in, and after. Don't believe me? Watch The Obama Deception and tell me yourself that he's an honest man.

Lets see what Gerald Celente has to say about it. An RT (Russia Today) reporter asked Gerald Celente this question: "Why didn't the White House, the Federal Reserve and all the other institutes or institutions and agencies here in Washington predict this was going to happen back then?"

And in reply, Celente said, "Becasue they're not very astute at forecasting trends. I ask you this question, With all of the cabinet positions in government, is there a cabinet position of the Future? Trend forecasting? They don't exist. The whole nation is basically trend-ignorant. Go to any of the Universities - Harvard, Princeton, Yale... name them. They don't look ahead. They look behind."

"You look at all the people who are running the government. They're experts in the Great Depression. That's History. How about the Future? They're not schooled in looking ahead. The future is off limits. And number two, if its bad for business, they don't wanna talk about it."

Think about it. Our government isn't schooled in looking ahead. No, Gerald Celente doesn't mean "looking ahead" with astrology or predictions based on tarot cards. He means looking at the facts of measurable recent and current trends and making a legit forecast based on those trends. If weathermen can do it for weather trends, surely the government could do it with applicable economic trends... but why aren't they?

If they really cared, they would pursue this line of forecasting, stop beating around the bush, stop lying to us and stop thinking only of business.

Making a point that the government only cares about whats good for business, Gerald Celente goes on to say, "... I love the language, 'pending homesales in US declined today more than expected'. More than expected by whom? Consumer spending and personal income stagnated. Well just yesterday, Fed Chairman Bernanke said, 'Expect consumer spending to increase as personal income climbs'."

"So its one big lie they're saying day after day to keep the people quiet because revolt is ready to happen. You can see it in the Tea Parties."

Isn't it interesting... pacify the people with lies to keep them quiet. Pacify them with stimulus checks and tax cuts to keep them happy. Get deeper into debt to make it seem like progress is being made. PEOPLE, ITS LIE AFTER LIE. America is bankrupt, and the government knows it and doesn't want to be accountable for it. A full-on economic collapse is coming, and Gerald Celente is spot on.

Be prepared. God bless.
