He also said that the dollar would eventually be devalued by as  much as 90 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>The consequence of what we have seen  unfold this year would lead to a lowering in living standards, Celente  predicted a year ago, which is also being borne out by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.presstv.ir\/detail.aspx?id=75273&amp;sectionid=3510203\" target=\"_blank\">plummeting retail sales figures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/DqvZwo2qhIo&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;fs=1\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/DqvZwo2qhIo&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;fs=1\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>The prospect of revolution was a concept echoed by a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/science\/2007\/apr\/09\/frontpagenews.news\" target=\"_blank\">British Ministry of Defence report last year<\/a>,  which predicted that within 30 years, the growing gap between the super  rich and the middle class, along with an urban underclass threatening  social order would mean, \u201cThe world\u2019s middle classes might unite, using  access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational  processes in their own class interest,\u201d and that, \u201cThe middle classes  could become a revolutionary class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthfiles.com\/news.php?ID=1485&amp;category=Environment\" target=\"_blank\">separate recent interview<\/a>, Celente went further on the subject of revolution in America.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere will be a revolution in this  country,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to come yet, but it\u2019s going to come  down the line and we\u2019re going to see a third party and this was the  catalyst for it: the takeover of Washington, D. C., in broad daylight  by Wall Street in this bloodless coup. And it will happen as conditions  continue to worsen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first thing to do is organize  with tax revolts. That\u2019s going to be the big one because people can\u2019t  afford to pay more school tax, property tax, any kind of tax. You\u2019re  going to start seeing those kinds of protests start to develop.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s going to be very bleak. Very  sad. And there is going to be a lot of homeless, the likes of which we  have never seen before. Tent cities are already sprouting up around the  country and we\u2019re going to see many more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to start seeing huge  areas of vacant real estate and squatters living in them as well. It\u2019s  going to be a picture the likes of which Americans are not going to be  used to. It\u2019s going to come as a shock and with it, there\u2019s going to be  a lot of crime. And the crime is going to be a lot worse than it was  before because in the last 1929 Depression, people\u2019s minds weren\u2019t  wrecked on all these modern drugs \u2013 over-the-counter drugs, or crystal  meth or whatever it might be. So, you have a huge underclass of very  desperate people with their minds chemically blown beyond anybody\u2019s  comprehension.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/georgewashington2.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/top-trend-forecaster-says-were-going-to.html\" target=\"_blank\">The George Washington blog<\/a> has compiled a list of quotes attesting to Celente\u2019s accuracy as a trend forecaster.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen CNN wants to know about the Top Trends, we ask Gerald Celente.\u201d \u2014 CNN Headline News<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA network of 25 experts whose range of specialties would rival many university faculties.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 The Economist<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGerald Celente has a knack for getting the zeitgeist right.\u201d \u2014 USA Today<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s not a better trend forecaster than Gerald Celente.
