"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 dig-ins, 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.
"'There's no recovery. This is merely a cover-up,' he said. 'The market crashed in March of 2009 and around the world they papered over the damage from the collapse with phantom money printed out of thin air backed by nothing,' he said.
"This is 'much bigger' than an economic collapse, he said. 'This is the decline of empire America.'
"He forecasts the possibility of a civil war, and says if people want to see what Main Street America will look like, they should 'drive around Detroit. Look at all the blown out houses and empty neighborhoods. Look at the violence that's increasing . . . Look at the types of heinous crimes being committed by people -- some blowing their whole families away.'"
"'This is the beginning of the greatest depression. We're telling our readers to take pro-active measures in anticipation of much worse to come,' he said."
