Renowned trends researcher and publisher of “The Trends Journal,” Gerald Celente, predicted last February on USAWatchdog.com that “World War III has already started.” Fast forward to today, and the global war is increasing at an alarming rate. Celente says, “American troops are on the ground in Ukraine, they are just not wearing the uniforms. So, we are at war there, and so is NATO. I say send me a hand gun because I want to blow the guy’s brains out across the street. Are you an accessory to the crime? Are you part of it? Of course you are. . . . Look at the budget that Congress just passed. It’s a $1.7 trillion budget, and over half went to the military industrial complex.”

The economy is in big trouble, and that means war is a lock, according to Celente. “The global economy is crashing. It was artificially built up when they started the Covid war. There were countless trillions of dollars that they pumped into it. . . . This thing is going to crash big. When all else fails, they take you to war. What followed the Great Depression? WWII. What followed the dot com bust? The war on terror, and the same thing is going to happen now.”

Celente says the economy is already falling apart, and the tip-off is the mass firing of temporary workers. Add in inflation, and real pain is happening in the economy right now. Celente says, “They bought less in terms of dollars, but it’s way worse because they don’t factor in inflation. In other words, people paid a lot more to buy a lot less.”

Celente also predicts a huge commercial real estate meltdown. The meltdown in residential real estate will be a bit less.

In closing, Celente warns about not just war in Ukraine overheating, but in the Middle East too. Celente explains, “The United States is doing drills with Israel at a level never seen before. If there is a military confrontation with the U.S. and Israel against Iran, you are going to see oil prices spike to above $130 per barrel. That will crash the global economy. . . . If the Ukraine war and the Middle East war explodes at the same time, everything is finished.”

Celente likes physical gold and silver as a hedge against calamity.
