'Hold onto your hat, your wallet, and your wits. After a tumultuous 2011 in which many of the trends we had forecast became headline news around the world, we are now forewarning of an even more tumultuous year to come.
While it would give us great pleasure to forecast a 2012 of joy and prosperity – all brought about by the wisdom and benevolence of our fearless leaders – since we are not running for office or looking to profit by gulling the people, we tell it as we see it in our 12 Top Trends 2012.
One megatrend looms on the near horizon. And we forecast that when it strikes, it will be a shock felt around the world. Hyperbole it’s not! Our research has revealed that at the very highest levels of government this megatrend has been seriously discussed.'
'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….'

There are so many possibilities about what may happen negatively in the near future that it is a challenge to maintain your equanimity and health. But knowing what likely probabilities lie ahead gives you the precious time you need to prepare for the inevitable. Being prepared in this sense means getting healthier, more aware, calm and centered by connecting more to your spiritual roots.
Bracing for "The Greatest Depression" includes ensuring you will have wholesome, high quality food and supplement sources readily available when things get rough. Growing your own food and making your own medicines from your backyard garden is a must do. What are you waiting for? You can order heirloom seeds on this site. Look to the right narrow blue field column of the blog and scroll until you see the title "grow your own" with a banner link under the title. This is an excellent source for seeds. It's called"Heirloom Organics." Take a peek. Start planning/planting now.
While you're at it, check-out the banner link for purchasing organic, medicinal herbs: Mountain Rose Herbs. And Mike Adams (The Health Ranger) has an audio course you can order called How to Survive the Financial Tsunami and Prepare for the coming "Economic End Game."

The Celente recorded interview (Rense.com) has some insights on the vaccination dilemma coming soon and the increased purchases of firearms by American citizens. He is all for the right to arm, but knows it's crazy to think armed citizens will succeed against the world's biggest, meanest killing machine.
Celente calls for an intellectual revolution. An awakening. A massive paradigm shift. One where people realize they need to stop supporting an evil empire that is turning against them while not drastically jeopardizing their survival, and look for solutions outside of government and big business while ignoring main stream media propaganda.
All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies. --John Arbuthnot
It's best to abandon all notions of government and free enterprise coming to the rescue. We have been totally betrayed and deceived by both. Mass civil disobedience may create enough chaos to hinder the puppet master cabal's plans for forced vaccinations, for example. Those who survive that madness can be around for a possible renaissance in the world.
The illusion of freedom [in America] will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater. --Frank Zappa
In August while most everyone's attention was still focused on the Tea Parties, Celente was already in fast-forward trend identification mode.
Here's part of an e-mail trend alert he sent to clients, "While there are many wild cards that could light the fuse, The Trends Research Institute forecasts that if the threat of government-forced Swine Flu vaccinations is realized, it will be the fourth shot (of the second American Revolution). Tens of millions will fight for their right to remain free and unvaccinated."
News reports about this issue have slowly registering it. The Wall Street Journal cited it Saturday. Headlines in Wednesday's papers stepped up the tempo as they heralded the protests of New York state health care workers who have been told to take the swine flu shot or lose their jobs.
But the issue is already beyond the New York state lines.
According to a UPI report , Hospital Corp. of America, with clinics and hospitals in 20 states including Tennessee and Virginia, is requiring its 120,000 employees to be vaccinated.
It's likely as reporters begin checking with their local health care providers they will find the same thing at other institutions. If so, hundreds of thousands of nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers could be ordered to become vaccinated as the second wave of the H1N1 pandemic spreads this fall. And the mandate trend from health care providers to their workers is fueling concerns and rumors that the H1N1 vaccine may become mandatory for everyone.
Lori Price of Citizens for Legitimate Government, a Connecticut-based group that opposes government expansion. "It's all part of an encroachment on our liberties," Price told The Wall Street Journal in a story published Saturday.
Celente says the Tea Parties and the fiery town hall health care meetings in August were just two of the symptoms of a larger issue. "America is seething. Not since the Civil War has anything like this happened. But the protests are either being intentionally downplayed or ignorantly misinterpreted.
"The White House and the media have labeled protestors "conservative fringe elements," or as players in staged events organized by Republican operatives that have been egged on by Fox news and right-wing radio show hosts.
"Health industry interests opposed to any reform are also being blamed for inciting the public. But organized or spontaneous is not the issue. While most protestors exhibit little grasp of the complex 1000 page health care reform document (that nary a legislator has read either), their emotion is clearly real and un-staged.
"Rightly or wrongly, the legislation is regarded as yet another straw on the already overloaded camel's back. A series of gigantic, unpopular government-imposed (but taxpayer-financed) bailouts, buyouts, rescue and stimulus packages have been stuffed down the gullet of Americans. With no public platform to voice their opposition, options for citizens have been limited to fruitless petitions, e-mails and phone calls to Congress, all fielded by anonymous staff underlings."
It would be a mistake to attribute the anger to Democrats or Republicans or President Obama. It's broader. if the current satisfaction ratings and opinion polls are right much of it is focused on a discontent with Congress and the various levels of government.
The bottom line according to Celente is the legislation is another instance of government taking another piece out of the citizens' lives and making them pay for it; again telling them what they can or cannot do.
He predicts that what he's calling the Second American Revolution "will become the most profound political trend of the century - the trend that will change the world" even if it is still invisible to the same experts, authorities and pundits who didn't see the financial crisis coming until the bottom fell out of the economy.
Clente predicts that with the "ubiquitous camera-equipped cell phone, universal access to YouTube, and millions of twitters and tweets, the uprisings cannot be ignored, contained, managed, spun or edited down in the media or spun to a more favorable viewing from politicians. "A false flag attempt, a genuine crisis, or a declaration of war, may slow the momentum of the "Second American Revolution," but nothing will stop it." he writes.
That was what Celente was telling his clients in August. He bases his trends identification business on the idea that currents events can point to trends that are missed by traditional economic or social science studies. In his book Trend Tracking, Celente says anyone can identify trends by disciplined reading news stories and applying some equally disciplined interpretations. The three things that first qualify a group of news stories on the same topic as an issue to watch is the issue has to have "social, economical and political significance."
While there's no one in the trends business with a 100 percent record, this element of the ongoing swine flu story is something to watch during the coming weeks.
There's something happening here But what it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking' their minds Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's going down?
What a field day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"
It's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's going down?
Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid Step out of line, the men come and take you away
We better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's going down?
We better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's going down?
We better stop Now, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's going down?
We better stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's going down?
