id take the bet that the New Madrid fault will erupt before I bought into this twits doom and gloom.
The reality is that the housing market is recovering, people are buying lots of homes.
Yeah, as if I should ever believe a realtor (TM) BTW, the tax credit is coming to an end, and Celente has predicted huge events as I cited above on several occassions.
When we're all walking down dusty streets, our children hanging on to our tattered clothes, passing the bodies of those who could walk no further, then, maybe then, we'll realize that the "THEM" we were so impassioned to blame was actually ourselves.
This system will fail. No one "side" will be responsible despite whatever evidence your media-brainwashed ideology conjures. We've all been swinging on a wild pendulum and now it's gone out to far from center, so it will break and fall. We'll quickly learn what we should have learned long ago about what's real: family, food, air, water, Earth, shelter, and love.
You can respond by arming your fortress to the teeth and raising your blood pressure to record levels, sleeping with one eye open, and planning on hard times. Or you can realize that the only thing that will happen will be that we'll all suddenly find ourselves in the same very large boat, the one we forgot we were in all along.
It doesn't matter what Mr. Celente says or other "experts" say. What does your gut tell you? Are you paying attention to it? With all the blatant misinformation being distributed and all the lies being told, it only makes sense to listen to that still small voice within, provided you can find a quiet place to seek it out. What does your heart tell you? Are you afraid? Or are you willing to tackle the task ahead, one of creating a new system with a far more solid foundation? Or are you ready to let others recreate the current system (with a few minor revisions) and call it a day?
It isn't just "hard times" ahead. It's the greatest opportunity you'll ever have.
Mhouse- I tried to send you a personal message just to tell you how well written this fine sentiment is. Thank you for writing it.
A trends forecaster says the current economic "rebound" from last winter's Wall Street collapse of banks, insurance companies and automobile manufacturers is an artificial blip created by 'phantom money printed out of thin air backed by nothing. And Gerald Celente of TrendsResearch.com, says people right now should be bracing for "the greatest recession" which will hit worldwide and will mark the "decline of empire America." Crop failures could be among the minor concerns."Here we are in 2012. Food riots, tax protests, farmer rebellions, student revolts, squatter diggins, homeless uprisings, tent cities, ghost malls, general strikes, bossnappings, kidnappings, industrial saboteurs, gang warfare, mob rule, terror," he writes for a quarterly publication that is available through subscription on his website. Celente - People Should Brace For 'Greatest Depression'
In that article, he also predicts that people will stop having lawns and start growing food instead. Great idea, but I must have missed the trend.
If I make one thousand of assumption today, I am pretty much sure that I will hit something. Unfortunately, I don't have enough confidence to screw up any of my potential followers by selectively justifying my prediction like this. My dad will span me bloodily hard if he know I do this.
You seriously think this is all Obama's doing? Really? You really need to get a grip and confront the real enemies in your mind so you can focus the fight onto the right target. I want to tell you about a person my next door neighbor knows. She has been forced to work half-time by her employer. She is currently collecting unemployment for the two weeks/mo she does not work. That will last another couple of months. Then she is SOL, forced to live on half the salary she started working at. Her employer that is in such dire straights that they have had to consolidate the workforce in this fashion is adding another shift to keep up their production quota.
The real problem as I see it is corporate greed. Insurance companies are some of the most profitable entities anywhere and they literally hid billions of dollars under an offshore tax haven rock and went to the governement broke and received your money and mine for their acting skills. Those insurance companies now want you and me to be forced to buy a policy directly from them because our employers no longer want to and because in many cases no longer have to. Its Obama's fault for caring that 1/4 of Americans are dying prematurely from preventable illness.
I could say more but I hope I've primed the pump of understanding and you will start doing some investigation on your own. Obama is not the reason unemployment keeps rising despite the "end of the recession".

Please stop your love affair with Obama. Obama has you fooled girl! He is a radical terrorist who is friends with some of teh famous dictators around the world. What did he accomplish in Chicago? His college was paid for by a terrorist, chicago is worst than ever with gangs, and his friend Rev Wright is a racist who basically raised Obama!
Extreme unemployment will be what causes most of this.
It could have all been avoided if we had not been sending all of our jobs to slave labor countries for the past 30 years.
I would not be surprised to see close to 50% unemployment by the end of 2012.
