As gold prices soar and commercial real estate teeters on the brink of collapse, renowned trend forecaster Gerald Celente warned that America is barreling toward an economic catastrophe – one that will unfold regardless of who wins the 2024 presidential election.
Celente offered stark predictions for the years ahead during a conversation with the Health Ranger Mike Adams on the “Health Ranger Report.” With gold recently hitting $2,418 per ounce, Celente reaffirmed his forecast of a “golden year for gold”—a trend driven by soaring government debt, inflation and the erosion of the U.S. dollar’s dominance.
“The dollar is only strong because of high interest rates,” Celente explained. But once the Federal Reserve cuts rates, the dollar will weaken and gold will surge even higher. He traced America’s financial decay back to decades of endless wars – from Vietnam to the Middle East – which have drained the economy while enriching the military-industrial complex.
Celente, the publisher of the weekly Trends Journal magazine, pointed out that President Lyndon B. Johnson started the Vietnam War eight months after the assassination of John F. Kennedy – with inflation skyrocketing around this time. The Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war have done the same, Celente added. But he noted that the BRICS alliance is actively moving away from the dollar, signaling its decline as the global reserve currency.
One of Celente’s most alarming warnings centered on the looming commercial real estate collapse.
The founder and director of the Trends Research Institute mentioned that in San Francisco, office vacancies are at 34.5 percent. Nationwide, it is around 20 percent. Data from property technology solutions firm Kastle Systems appears to back this up, with the company reporting just 51 percent occupancy rates.
With $4 trillion in commercial real estate loans coming due in the next two years, banks—especially mid-sized ones—face massive defaults. “This is the Panic of ’08 on steroids,” Celente warned. According to him, hundreds of bank failures that will crash equity markets and devastate the economy. (Related: Real estate collapse: LA property management firm defaults on $755M loans.)
Both Celente and Adams lambasted the media and political establishment for downplaying crises — from Joe Biden’s cognitive decline to fabricated inflation numbers. Celente scoffed the claim that food prices have only gone up one percent and he warned that people are being lied to while their purchasing power evaporates.
The author of the highly acclaimed and best-selling books “Trend Tracking” and “Trends 2000” predicted a false flag event to unite the public behind war, drawing parallels to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. “When all else fails, they take you to war,” he said. Celente pointed to historical events like the Great Depression and Dotcom Bust, which have ushered World War II and the War on Terror.
From homelessness in New York to crumbling infrastructure, Celente painted a grim picture of a nation in decay. He stated that America is becoming a third-world country with the roads rotting, the subways looking like Calcutta and politicians turning into gutless bureaucrats. Economic suffering will fuel crime, addiction and violence, with immigration crises worsening as people flee collapsing nations.
Celente urged viewers to protect their wealth with gold, stay informed through independent journalism and resist government propaganda. The world-renowned trend forecaster said Americans are going to be scared into war, but history shows that these wars are only destroying nations. As the financial and geopolitical storms gather, Celente’s message is clear: Prepare now – because the crisis is already here.
