- Nostradamus, "Occupy" This!
-
-
- KINGSTON, NY, 3 November 2011 - The passage below
is not from a recent New York Times or Wall Street Journal reporting on
"Occupy Wall Street" it was written in 1995 by Gerald Celente.
In Celente's best-selling book Trends 2000 (Warner Books,1997), he predicted
a watershed event that lay a decade and a half in the future:
-
-
-
- "They flooded the streets. Day and night, they marched
As the demonstrations mobilized and gained momentum, the students were
joined by their uncollegiate peers the unemployed, the underemployed,
the unemployable
-
- No one was sure what had turned the protestors into
marchers, or what had pointed them in the direction of Wall Street. All
that was known for sure was that a mob of adrenaline-pumped young people
funneled into the narrow streets of the Financial District
-
-
- In his prescient forecast of the march on Wall Street,
Celente not only recognized, but analyzed what today's editorial writers
and TV pundits are currently debating.
-
-
-
- America was not supposed to be a country where the rich
grew richer and everyone else grew poorer. Finally the well-publicized
income disparity between the rich and the shrinking middle class and growing
underclass served as the predicted flashpoint "
-
-
-
- Also in 1997's Trends 2000, Celente envisaged a new,
Internet-based network he named "Technotribalism," which was
"capable of uniting and galvanizing the world electronically."
-
-
-
- "This time the news was posted on the StudentNet.
Sympathy protests simultaneously combusted on college campuses and in cities
around the nation."
-
-
- Celente's "StudentNet" forecast would eventually
surface as the social networking megatrend we now know as Facebook, Twitter,
LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.
-
-
-
- FAST FORWARD A DECADE
-
- In the Summer 2010 Trends Journal, Celente forecast
a 21st century variant of "Workers of the World Unite."
-
-
-
- "The people are fully aware of the enormous bailouts
going to the 'too big to fails' that they are being forced to pay for.
We will see social unrest growing in all nations which are facing sovereign
debt crisis, the most obvious being Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Ireland,
the Ukraine, Hungary, followed by the United Kingdom and the United States."
-
-
- And in the December 2010 Trends Journal, he wrote:
-
-
- "The well publicized news of bank bailouts, billions
in executive bonuses, and a spectrum of financial hardships heaped upon
those who could least afford them by those who could easily afford
them had the public seething especially the young They're mad as
hell and aren't going to take it anymore."
-
-
- Celente has been so right, so often, about so many
trends, it's no wonder the New York Post said, "If Nostradamus were
alive today, he'd have a hard time keeping up with Gerald Celente."
-
- But since Nostradamus is long dead and since Celente
has out-predicted him in unambiguous, quatrain-free language, it's easy
to understand why so many people turn to him for insights into what in
world is going to happen next.
