Gerald Celente is going to be on GLP voice chat (http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1277014/pg1) soon.

Anyway he allowed his Q4 trends research (http://www.mediafire.com/?k0zz748z5n6s99v) to be downloaded. Enjoy before the server is crashed.

Should have added that it is a 28 page pdf download.

Finally got all the way through the piece. It read like a full 2 hour interview with Celente. The commercials were my own interuptions. It's the 1st time I have read one of his extended pieces. I read nothing earth shattering. Just a whole bunch of quotes of the W.S.B.'s and a recap of his past predictions. I am guessing we really have to pay for the good stuff. The good stuff meaning any future predictions.

I did notice Celente is just holding at 2000 Au as a price target.

Some quotes.


The Snooki-focused, fast food-fattened, prescription drug addicted
American populace remained oblivious to such
weighty issues.


Just as a john would not expect a prostitute to provide
services gratis, or voters to believe politicians will
keep their promises, it is naïve to expect anything different
from the mainstream media. Praise is bestowed only
upon the White Shoe Boyz & Girls whose white-shod feet
are never held to the fire.


There are many who prefer silver as their fail-safe of
choice, both for its affordability and their belief that it
is undervalued relative to gold. While the reasoning is
sound, in terms of sheer storage space and portability
(in 2010 it took roughly 60 ounces
of silver to equal an ounce of gold in
value) silver presents obvious problems
of its own.


This lack of awareness and inability to make connections
was again demonstrated on September 7th when a
trend-shaping event was reported as a mere incident rather
than as a harbinger of what would become one of the
most important developments of the second decade of the
21st century.

It was reported that a Chinese fishing trawler rammed
two Japanese coast guard vessels in the waters off the Diaoyu
Islands, which are claimed by both China and Japan.
The trawler captain and crew of 14 were arrested and the
captain and the boat detained by Japan for two weeks.
What appeared to be (and was reported as) a relatively
minor clash between two former World War II-era enemies,
was prologue to a significant chapter in “The History
of The Future.”

The manner in which this skirmish played out foretold
what the future had in store for relationships between
China, Japan, other Southeast Asian nations and
the US. It was much bigger than a fish story, bigger even
than the sovereignty of a few tiny islands with untapped
oil, natural gas reserves and potentially important mineral
deposits. It was a global power play; a diplomatic
showdown.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton entered the fray
with typical bravado, asserting that freedom of navigation
of the seas was in America’s national interest. Taking
the Japanese side, she stressed that US treaty obligations
to defend Japan from foreign attack would include
any Chinese moves against the island.

For its part, Tokyo promised to prosecute the captain
and confiscate the trawler, while the Chinese demanded
Japan’s immediate release of both the captain and his
ship. Heated charges and countercharges were hurled by
both sides until the dispute came to an abrupt end when
China played a rare card that they, and only they, held.

China is Blocking Minerals, Executives Say
China’s Commerce Ministry denied on Thursday
that it had halted exports to Japan of a crucial
category of minerals, but industry executives said
that factories in China were still not shipping to
Japan after Chinese customs agents blocked shipments
earlier this week.
The minerals are so-called rare earths, which
are used in products like wind turbines and hybrid
cars … China mines 93 percent of the of the
world’s rare earth minerals and more than 99 percent
of some of the most prized rare earths … .
(NYT, 23 September 2010)

Under threat, tough talk turned into weak knees. Rather
than allow major industries to be brought to a halt, Japan
capitulated as the US stood helplessly by. No sooner had
the captain and trawler been released, than China reignited
the conflict with demands for an official apology and
compensation.

The message was clear: no one — not Japan or it’s Superpower
ally, nor any other combination of alliances —
was going dictate terms to China under any circumstances.
China’s monopoly on rare earth minerals was in itself
a rare opportunity to exercise naked supply-and-demand
economics. In this hi-tech age, what China uniquely possessed
and virtually every developed nation needed enabled
it to instantaneously extort concessions.

As powerful as OPEC’s oil, the rare earths would soon
prove to be just one of China’s strong-arm trump cards.
Its growing military would be another, and there was
nothing anyone could do about it.


The world was flooded with cheap paper. It was very,
very easy to understand why gold prices were going higher
and why they would continue to go higher still. Nevertheless,
no evidence was enough to make Harvard/Princeton/
Yale Ph.D.s, Nobel Prize-winning economists, or captains
of finance understand what the skyrocketing price
of gold portended:

— “Maybe it (gold) will reach $1,100 or so but $1,500
or $2,000 is nonsense … since gold has no intrinsic
value,” forecast Nouriel Roubini, the media’s favorite
The Trends Journal • Autumn 2010 25
Dr. Doom. (15 December 2009)

— “It gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace.
Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it
again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It
has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be
scratching their heads.” Warren Buffett, 30 April 2009

— Gold is now “the ultimate bubble,” billionaire investor
George Soros has declared, sparking fears that
prices for the precious metal may
soon suffer a tumble. (28 January
2010)

— “I don’t fully understand movements
in the gold price,” mused
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke (9
June 2010)

Yes, there were alot of complaints when the 3rd quarter newsetter came out that it was a rehash of older predictions and news. Not many were enthused about the Renaissance movement that he is promoting.
