10 Trends for 2011

by Gerald Celente

Previously by Gerald Celente: 'Off With Their Heads 2.0'



 


   
After the tumultuous years of the Great Recession, a battered people may wish that 2011 will bring a return to kinder, gentler times. But that is not what we are predicting. Instead, the fruits of government and institutional action – and inaction – on many fronts will ripen in unplanned-for fashions.

Trends we have previously identified, and that have been brewing for some time, will reach maturity in 2011, impacting just about everyone in the world.

1. Wake-Up Call In 2011, the people of all nations will fully recognize how grave economic conditions have become, how ineffectual and self-serving the so-called solutions have been, and how dire the consequences will be. Having become convinced of the inability of leaders and know-it-all "arbiters of everything" to fulfill their promises, the people will do more than just question authority, they will defy authority. The seeds of revolution will be sown….

2. Crack-Up 2011 Among our Top Trends for last year was the "Crash of 2010." What happened? The stock market didn’t crash. We know. We made it clear in our Autumn Trends Journal that we were not forecasting a stock market crash – the equity markets were no longer a legitimate indicator of recovery or the real state of the economy. Yet the reliable indicators (employment numbers, the real estate market, currency pressures, sovereign debt problems) all bordered between crisis and disaster. In 2011, with the arsenal of schemes to prop them up depleted, we predict "Crack-Up 2011": teetering economies will collapse, currency wars will ensue, trade barriers will be erected, economic unions will splinter, and the onset of the "Greatest Depression" will be recognized by everyone….

3. Screw the People As times get even tougher and people get even poorer, the "authorities" will intensify their efforts to extract the funds needed to meet fiscal obligations. While there will be variations on the theme, the governments’ song will be the same: cut what you give, raise what you take.

4. Crime Waves No job + no money + compounding debt = high stress, strained relations, short fuses. In 2011, with the fuse lit, it will be prime time for Crime Time. When people lose everything and they have nothing left to lose, they lose it. Hardship-driven crimes will be committed across the socioeconomic spectrum by legions of the on-the-edge desperate who will do whatever they must to keep a roof over their heads and put food on the table….

5. Crackdown on Liberty As crime rates rise, so will the voices demanding a crackdown. A national crusade to "Get Tough on Crime" will be waged against the citizenry. And just as in the "War on Terror," where "suspected terrorists" are killed before proven guilty or jailed without trial, in the "War on Crime" everyone is a suspect until proven innocent….

6. Alternative Energy In laboratories and workshops unnoticed by mainstream analysts, scientific visionaries and entrepreneurs are forging a new physics incorporating principles once thought impossible, working to create devices that liberate more energy than they consume. What are they, and how long will it be before they can be brought to market? Shrewd investors will ignore the "can’t be done" skepticism, and examine the newly emerging energy trend opportunities that will come of age in 2011….

7. Journalism 2.0 Though the trend has been in the making since the dawn of the Internet Revolution, 2011 will mark the year that new methods of news and information distribution will render the 20th century model obsolete. With its unparalleled reach across borders and language barriers, "Journalism 2.0" has the potential to influence and educate citizens in a way that governments and corporate media moguls would never permit. Of the hundreds of trends we have forecast over three decades, few have the possibility of such far-reaching effects….

8. Cyberwars Just a decade ago, when the digital age was blooming and hackers were looked upon as annoying geeks, we forecast that the intrinsic fragility of the Internet and the vulnerability of the data it carried made it ripe for cyber-crime and cyber-warfare to flourish. In 2010, every major government acknowledged that Cyberwar was a clear and present danger and, in fact, had already begun. The demonstrable effects of Cyberwar and its companion, Cybercrime, are already significant – and will come of age in 2011. Equally disruptive will be the harsh measures taken by global governments to control free access to the web, identify its users, and literally shut down computers that it considers a threat to national security….

9. Youth of the World Unite University degrees in hand yet out of work, in debt and with no prospects on the horizon, feeling betrayed and angry, forced to live back at home, young adults and 20-somethings are mad as hell, and they’re not going to take it anymore. Filled with vigor, rife with passion, but not mature enough to control their impulses, the confrontations they engage in will often escalate disproportionately. Government efforts to exert control and return the youth to quiet complacency will be ham-fisted and ineffectual. The Revolution will be televised … blogged, YouTubed, Twittered and….

10. End of The World! The closer we get to 2012, the louder the calls will be that the "End is Near!" There have always been sects, at any time in history, that saw signs and portents proving the end of the world was imminent. But 2012 seems to hold a special meaning across a wide segment of "End-time" believers. Among the Armageddonites, the actual end of the world and annihilation of the Earth in 2012 is a matter of certainty. Even the rational and informed that carefully follow the news of never-ending global crises, may sometimes feel the world is in a perilous state. Both streams of thought are leading many to reevaluate their chances for personal survival, be it in heaven or on earth….

Awesome and I appreciate the rant! Illuminati's symbols are everywhere. "Politicians" that we are familiar with are just puppets for the hidden undercurrents that really control society. I'm going to check out info wars....I've never been there. Speaking of water.....i've already got ECCI on the radar. I'll have to find ways to smooth this over with th investor community. I'm not a nut that believes that th world is ending next year nor do I live m life with blinders on my face, ignoring what all is transpiring in th world aroun us. 2013 is an opportunity fo all of us to make some great money!

You're welcome! Well folks are always attracted to content. Here on iHub they are attracted to content that provides the possibility of making money at the same time as being informed.
Actually the "end time" concept is one that has been on my mind lately. Not just the concept of 2012 but the overall concept of the scary new world that is taking shape around us. I and others call it the New World Order. One World Goverment. Call it whatever you want. It isnt going to get better anytime soon. I mean who would have thought that America, home of the free land of the brave would slowly turn into one of
the biggest police states on the planet? TSA sticking thier hands down your pants to check your junk. Fondling small children to check for bombs, all in the name of "homeland security". Give me a break! They are training us "in masse" to submit to "Authority". Their authority! It is not about Democrat or Republican. That is a trap that they use against us in order to keep us divided. We have to break out of that paradigm.
Ok. Enough of that. Here are some ideas.

For sure you should find a way to promote INFOWARS.COM
If you are unfamiliar with it you should check it out now. Alex Jones does not mind anyone using his vids to get the word out. They are all over Youtube. You could post links in ibox to certain ones. These vids as well as many others by other people will give the site "cred" when it comes to building your case for what is about (or not?)to come upon us. The End Times.
Next you will have to find a way to tie this into the stock market! Specifically stocks/sectors that that look to "gain" due to others suffering. Some may look at this as making money from others doom. But that is not the case. If this were the attitude one should never buy a medical stock. Its about trying to make profit from within the belly of Beast. 666

Here are a few ideas:
Water....clean water will be in high demand. Find these stocks
Security.....for individuals and Families. Find these stocks
Food.....for survival, for family. Find thes stocks
Bartering systems....for trade. Dont know if there are stocks that relate but find them if they do.
Precious metals.....these stocks are everywhere. Finding the ones that havnt already took off will be hard.
Medical.......primarily home medical
Survival eqiuipment.....


These are just a few ideas.

Thank you for the kind words and I strongly agree! All that I have is a vision and I need to work on attracting people and getting the chatter started. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[MrG]

Like the concept. Needs development. Boardmarked!

[Da Stock Alpaca]

Thanks for dropping in =) Yeah, hopefully some good plays fueled by this can be dug up while they're still cheap.

[auroradude]

GL with the new board - good idea.

[Da Stock Alpaca]

Welcome to the 2012 "End-of-Days" OTCBB Stock Plays board! Open conversation is encouraged here. All that I ask is that we center the conversation around 2012 and the investment opportunities that it might present. Also, if you would like to assist with moderating this board, please let me know. I'm in need of help!
